The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 103 Herbert Being Overtaken

When Malhebi took the two ugly men and found Herbert in the already empty lord's house, the lord who was nearly 50 years old turned extremely ugly in an instant, and it was obvious that he knew These two guys.

At this moment, he was sitting on the table, looking at the two people who were tied up, and fell into a long silence.

Malhebi on the side looked at his father with a gloomy face, and guessed that this matter must not be simple, and that someone in his family might have been involved. Although he had always expected this result, his mood was unavoidable gloomy.

After all, no matter which one it is, they are the family members he has lived with day and night in the past 30 or [-] years.

After a long time, Herbert said a little tiredly: "Son, you did a good job in this matter, go get busy, and remember to treat your elf friends well for me."

Malhebi knew what his father was going to do, and he was still unwilling to do it in front of his face. He saluted his father very interestingly, and then said: "I will, father."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, but Herbert's voice came from behind him again: "Malhebi, don't tell anyone else about this matter!"

"I know, father."

Then Malhebi left Herbert's room, and this matter was no longer under his control, and Malhebi didn't want to get involved too much, after all, he was not the lord of Red River Town yet.

A few days later, among the townspeople who hadn't left yet, there was a piece of news that shocked everyone.

The two sons of the lord accidentally broke their legs while riding a horse, and their uncle Theodore will be responsible for sending them to River Valley City for treatment. Might come back again.

Malhebi, who had already set off with a group of townspeople for several days, didn't know that he had won the competition at this time and became the only heir to the lord of Honghe Town. He was still thinking about how to get along with Allen on his horse. Negotiations can obtain the qualifications of a vassal from the king.

While Malhebi was thinking deeply, the enemies of the northern humans, the two warlords of the Dongyi people, Baal and Akkad, had brought their soldiers and slaves close to the forest where Honghe Town was located. .

This speed far exceeded Malhebi's speculation, at least four or five days earlier.

Barr, who has his own little girl, is actually not willing to act so fast. He still wants to get more supplies from his leader Ashur before leaving, so his preparation speed seems a bit procrastinated. Can't keep up with Akkad who is more loyal than him.

Akkad was ready to set off on the second day after receiving the order, while Barr was still dawdling in dismantling the buildings of the camp.

Soon, Barr was summoned to Ashur's camp again in the afternoon of that day, and what greeted him was a meal of scolding, rude and dirty words, and even the savage Dongyi people All feel a little unbearable.

After scolding, Ashur did not become calmer because of venting, but his face became more ferocious, and the scars on his face also turned blood red due to anger. Coupled with his murderous eyes, he secretly looked at the inside of the car. The guard of the situation quickly moved his gaze away.

Ashur's words at this time were cruel and gloomy, and he was issuing an ultimatum to Baal.

"Baal!! I don't care what your reason is, tomorrow is tomorrow, if your tribe hasn't moved, then you don't need to move anymore, I will let you stay here forever, understand ?”

Facing the furious Ashur, Barr, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to refute at all. As for the matter of supplies, he didn't even dare to mention a word, but kept showing weakness to the angry Ashur.

"Yes, yes, yes, my lord, I'll go right away, right away."

"get out!!"

Barr, who rolled and climbed out of Ashur's cart in a panic, quickly learned something from Ashur's other subordinates.

Just last night, a few elf cavalry robbed Brenden at the gate of Ashur's camp in a grand manner, and killed more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate of the camp. Dozens of elite cavalry chased out, and finally Only four people came back, and they returned empty-handed with fear on their faces.

According to Ashur's personality, he had endured a lot without four bruised corpses hanging at the door, and now he just vented his anger on Barr.

After learning what happened, Barr was also very grateful. If such a powerful elf arrived when he was hoisting Brendon, then his own life would have to be thrown at the gate of the camp. Wouldn't it be wrong to die?

He was indeed lucky. At that time, Hermione was busy detecting the situation of the enemy's camp, and hadn't thought of killing people yet.

Now, under the furious urging of Ashur, Barr took all his possessions, joined Akkad's team in just one night, and set off in a mighty way.

Among them, there are more than 2000 Dongyi people and more than 6000 northern slaves, totaling more than [-] people.

When they walked to the bridge of the Red Water River, Barr realized that the soldiers he stayed here to guard had already started to stink. Barr had no time to get angry and speculate, and immediately ordered his soldiers to urge the slaves to cut down trees and make A simple raft, so that people can be arranged to cross the river to repair the bridge.

The restoration of the bridge by the Dongyi people has indeed bought a certain amount of time for the migration of the residents of Honghe Town. Under the urging of the envoy sent by Ashur, Barr and Akad led the tribe to cross the Hongshui River. Instead of stopping to build a camp as Malhebi thought, he headed directly towards Honghe Town.

When Herbert left Red River Town on the last boat, Barr also brought his elite cavalry to the vicinity of his "attachment" Red River Town again. He wanted to make one last attempt to see if he could Being able to trick Honghe Town into opening the gate would also prevent his soldiers from dying due to the siege.

However, the quiet atmosphere around him made the rune warlord feel that something was wrong. At this time in the past, there should be a large number of northern humans farming in the fields.

This abnormal situation caused Barr to keep whipping the rune horse under his crotch, and quickly came to the open gate of Red River Town. After that, dozens of cavalry, led by Barr, poured into this place for the first time. Human gathering point.

Looking at the desolate Honghe Town, Barr shouted angrily, "Search for me, don't even let me let the kennels go."

After a while, dozens of cavalry gathered around Barr again, shouting.

"There's no one in the south."

"My lord, I didn't even find a dog."

"There's no one on the east side."

"There's nothing left in the biggest house in the center of town."

"Master Baal, I found a chicken in the corner, let's roast it tonight."

The insidious, greedy, hypocritical, bullying Barr was extremely unwilling at this time, how could he not know that the people in Honghe Town had run away before them.

"Why is this happening? I obviously appeased Herbert in a nice voice before I left. They shouldn't be running so fast, right?"

Barr's brain was running crazily at this moment. He wanted to find out what the problem was. He recalled everything that happened during this period, and suddenly thought of Brendon who was rescued.

"Brenden? Brenden!!! It must be this rescued bastard who heard Ashur's loud voice after being beaten, which caused the people in Honghe Town to get the news in advance and run away. I should How to do how to do?!"

Although the location of Red River Town was not provided by Barr to Ashur, when his boss pronounced the name of Red River Town, Barr knew that he couldn't hide it. He immediately said that he and the Lord Herbert of Red River Town had a little For the sake of the transaction, you can try to persuade Honghe Town to attach itself to the Baltra people.

Ashur agreed, but the current situation is that after Barr talked with the people in Red River Town, the whole town was empty. How could Barr explain to Ashur?Could it be that the people in Honghe Town ran so fast because your voice was too loud, boss?

Then he hasn't been hacked alive yet?
Thinking of the terrible punishment he might face, Ashur's brain continued to run wildly, and soon he thought of the key point.

"No, it's only been a few days, the town has been moved so cleanly, they shouldn't be able to go very far, if they can catch up, they will definitely catch up!!"

Barr, who seemed to have caught a life-saving straw while drowning, shouted to the cronies beside him: "Go and inform Akkad, let him bring the cavalry to come here as fast as possible, the rest of you, follow me Chase."

After speaking, Barr led most of the cavalry out of Red River Town and chased westward along the running river. Soon he saw the shadows of a few small boats in the water.

That was Herbert and his party who had just sailed out of Red River Town not long ago. After all, the boats built by humans do not have the blessing of magic power. They rely on manpower to paddle on the river. The section of the river is still upstream.

At this time, Herbert was thinking on the boat, how to negotiate with King Allen in his son's mouth, and what price he would have to pay to be able to give his people a piece of fertile land to live on.

However, the sound of horseshoes coming from the bank directly interrupted his thinking, and Herbert knew that it was the Dongyi cavalry who were chasing him.

Although Malhebi had speculated about the Dongyi people's movements at the previous family meeting, he finally vowed that there would be time.

But Herbert, who has far more life experience than Malhebi, naturally knows the truth of the impermanence of the world. No matter how well planned, accidents will always surprise or frighten you.

So Herbert, the lord of Red River Town, took the few dozen longbowmen under his command, rode five small boats, and walked at the end of the team.

To prevent any unexpected situation, after all, there is a fleet full of townspeople and supplies dozens of miles ahead of them.

Most of the townspeople had already left a few days ago, and at the same time took away all the livestock in Honghe Town. At this time, the sound of horseshoes coming from the east, who else could there be except the Dongyi people?
"Enemy attack, prepare to fight."

Herbert yelled, picked up the huge fir bow beside him, and stared at Barr and the others who were gradually approaching from a distance. The archers on the surrounding boats also made the same movements as Herbert.

"Guys, row towards the south bank first, don't stay in the middle of the river stupidly, we are holding fir longbows in our hands, and the enemy's shooting distance is far inferior to ours."

Following Herbert's order, the boat gradually moved away from the middle of the river and approached the south bank. At this time, Barr, who led the cavalry to catch up, naturally also saw this scene. He reined in his horse and stopped on the north bank, ready to follow Herbert. Say something, so that you can trick people back.

"shooting."

Looking at Barr and the others parked on the shore, Herbert gave the order to shoot without the slightest hesitation. He had long disliked Barr. If it wasn't for the fact that the clansmen could have a relatively stable life, who would want to fight with him? His feud has been greeted with a smile for so many years.

Now, the faces of the two sides have been torn apart, and Herbert felt that he had nothing to talk to Barr about, and launching an attack to attract the attention of these Dongyi cavalry was the most important thing to do right now.

Otherwise, let these guys continue to chase towards the west, and it won't be long before they can see the unarmed residents of Honghe Town.

It's just that the effect of this wave of arrow rain was very poor. It only killed a few Dongyi cavalry who stayed on the shore. After all, there was a distance of tens of meters between the two sides. The accuracy of the archers has dropped a lot. After all, they are not professional sailors and have no experience in shooting on board.

However, the rune horse under Barr's crotch was directly shot in the head by this wave of arrows, and then fell to the ground without any warning, and knocked the shocked Barr to the ground.

He really didn't expect that the northerner who greeted him with a smile in the past would attack him without saying a word.

Barr, who quickly got up from the ground, had already recovered from the shock, and he shouted loudly: "Shoot, shoot me."

After shouting, he got on a rune horse that had lost its rider, and shouted loudly to Herbert on board: "I will definitely catch you, torture your family in front of you, and enslave your people."

Herbert, who was tens of meters away, looked at the enemy's arrows falling into the water in front of him, and knew that the small short bow in the Dongyi people's hands could not be shot at such a long distance.
Facing Barr's clamor at this time, he didn't care at all. Instead, he pulled the fir bow in his hand again and aimed at Barr and the others.

This time the Dongyi cavalry will definitely not wait obediently to be shot on the shore. After seeing that their bows and arrows fell into a disadvantage in terms of range, they quickly beat their horses and disappeared before Herbert's eyes. opportunity to shoot.

However, they did not go far. Instead, under the leadership of Barr, they closely followed the boats in the river not far from the shore, because the width of the river is not constant, and Barr knew that not far ahead, There was a very narrow and swift river, where he was going to make Herbert look good.

Herbert, who has been back and forth on the Running River several times, naturally knows this. Not only did he not let his men speed up the rowing speed, but it slowed down even more. His main purpose was to use himself as a bait to entangle the Dongyi people. The cavalry, instead of fleeing for their lives under the pursuit of the Dongyi people.

In this way, the two teams confronted each other on two different roads, and no one could do anything to the other.

Half a day later, more hooves of horses came from the east, and it was Akkad who came with more Dongyi cavalry.
