Chapter 1625 The First Battle
In fact, Zhao Hu understood after thinking about it in his mind. In order to prevent his idiot son from becoming the control puppet of the woman's family in the future, the old father of this body resolutely set up a family with the most impoverished Liu family nearby. In this way, even if the daughter of the Liu family becomes the mistress of the Falcon family, she will not be able to fully control the entire family because her background is not noble enough.

This is probably a kind of helpless fatherly love.

"Since it was decided by my lord father, you can arrange it. I will meet them grandly in the hall tomorrow!" Zhao Hu waved his hand at the old housekeeper. This incident made Zhao Hu feel that his thinking was a little messed up. And a future wife.

"Okay, I'll tell Lord Liu Ming right now, I think his two daughters will be very happy." The old butler let out a sigh of relief. Ever since the young master recovered from the idiot state, it has a special meaning for this door. The old housekeeper is really uncertain whether the marriage contract can continue.

"You haven't told me yet, which one am I engaged to?" Zhao Hu asked looking at the old housekeeper who was about to bow and exit his bedroom.

The old butler looked at Zhao Hu with a strange expression, and finally acted as if he had made up his mind, "Master, what the master ordered for you is the sister flower of the Liu family!"

"Master, Lord Liu Ming is waiting for your reception in the hall." The next day, the old housekeeper approached Zhao Hu and reminded him.

Hearing the old butler's reminder, Zhao Hu took the prepared dress from the old butler.

Lord Liu Ming was a thin, tall, middle-aged man with a thin face. When he saw the old butler of the Falcon family walking into the hall with a young man of about fat, he hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hands anxiously.

"Patriarch Zhao Hu, you are finally here, this time you have to save the Liu family!"

Seeing that there was only one anxious middle-aged man in front of him, Zhao Hu couldn't help but glanced around the hall in doubt. That's right, Lord Liu Ming was the only one waiting for him in the hall, and his two fiancee sisters who had never met were not there. In the lobby, Zhao Hu, who had rushed here excitedly, was secretly disappointed, and his eager mood became a little bit colder.

The shrewd old housekeeper saw Zhao Hu's expression was a little weird, and knew that the young master must be unhappy because he didn't see the sisters of the Liu family, so he hurriedly helped Lord Liu Ming who was anxious and asked, "Please tell me if you have anything, trust the young master." I will help you to overcome difficulties, why didn't you see the two young ladies?"

"It was the Cato family who broke the covenant without authorization. The head of the family, Catote, personally led thirteen knights and 1 thugs to rob two villages in my territory, killed more than 0 farmers under me, and injured My captain of the guard threatened to snatch the villain's two daughters back, which frightened my two daughters, and they are still recuperating in bed, that's why they couldn't come to see the adults together."

Lord Liu Ming wept bitterly about the brutality of the Cato family, and looked at Zhao Hu earnestly. Thirteen regular knights and 1 soldiers had such a powerful military force. It was not him who only had three villages. The little lord was able to resist, and only then did he think of Zhao Hu, the future idiot son-in-law.

Although the Falcon family has declined, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that Zhao Hu still has the title of marquis and a rich basin in his hands. Even if he can't compete with the Cato family, who are also marquises, he can at least come forward to mediate The war between the two families, as for the frightened two daughters, was just an excuse provided by Lord Liu Ming.

Seeing Zhao Hu's dignified and pensive silence, the old butler and Lord Liu Ming looked at Zhao Hu speculatively, but they didn't know that Zhao Hu was actually planning his own calculations.

"My peasant soldiers have been training very hard, but they have never had the opportunity to let these recruits see human blood. An army that has not seen blood will always be a newcomer on the battlefield! This time there is such a good opportunity, why not let them These rookies who have never seen blood practice their hands."

"If my lord can make the Cato family retreat, I can immediately send the two daughters here according to the original engagement, and I am willing to compensate the Cato family with 500 gold coins." Seeing the hesitant look on Zhao Hu's face, Lord Liu Ming returned Thinking that this future son-in-law, who is not bright-headed, is thinking about his two beautiful daughters, he hastily made promises.

In fact, it was not the Cato family who tore up the covenant this time, but the poor and crazy Lord Liu Ming actually put his idea of ​​getting rich on the wealthy caravan trade of the Cato family, and secretly organized local villagers to pretend to be robbers. The caravan failed to snatch it, but instead exposed its identity, which aroused the revenge of the Cato family.

"Okay, I'll send someone to tell the Cato family, you go back first, and wait for my good news." Zhao Hu heard something strange from Lord Liu Ming's abnormal tone, but he didn't care, and secretly After making a plan to send troops, there is not much interest in studying who is right and who is wrong.

Looking at Lord Liu Ming who left the hall full of hope, Zhao Hu turned his head to look at the old butler with an embarrassed expression. This time Lord Liu Ming definitely gave the old butler a lot of benefits, otherwise the old butler would not have spoken for this Lord Liu Ming like this , Zhao Hu thought of changing the housekeeper.

"One emperor, one courtier." I have always despised this kind of practice, and I didn't think I would have this idea now, Zhao Hu secretly sighed, "You go and find Starn, just say that I have something important find him."

The cold moon hangs high in the sky in late autumn, and the dark clouds flow like water in the dark sky.

Zhao Hu crouched in the bushes, carefully observing the simple camp made of wood by the crescent-shaped small lake at the foot of the mountain. Fence, a small river with a width of two meters flows outside the camp, like a simple small castle.

From a higher position on the mountain, it can be clearly seen that hundreds of soldiers in light leather armor are sitting around the bonfire, watching with great interest the two burly men fighting each other in the middle of the bonfire, although they are all using wooden long swords , but the "bump" sound of wooden swords can be clearly heard in the distance, it can be seen that the strength used by these two big men is as great as life and death.

Finally, a strong man hit the other strong man's waist with the wooden sword in his hand, and then used the hilt of the wooden sword in his hand to hit the opponent who was knocked unconscious and bent over hard with his backhand. , causing the surrounding soldiers to howl.

"My lord, this should be the army of the Cato family that attacked Lord Liu Ming. Look at the flag of the eagle beak family on the tent, it should be the vulture battle flag of the Cato family." Starn, who was lying beside Zhao Hu, pointed The army flag fluttered on the most luxurious big tent beside the bonfire, looking coldly at the army of the Cato family who was still howling excitedly in the distance.

This time Zhao Hu decided to personally lead the [-] farmer recruits who had just finished training to ambush the Cato family's army, which was strongly opposed by Starn. The Cato family, known as the vultures, had little chance of winning.

"Novices can't defeat the veterans of the Cato family, not to mention there are 1 or [-] orthodox knights who have experienced many battles." Starn felt that his lord must be dazed with blood, and he was going to use two hundred Peasants go up against veterans of the field, led by knights.

"Veterans also come from rookies, have never seen blood, no matter how well trained they are rookies, so what about knights, have you forgotten how you were cornered to death by the shield wall, you hope that the army you train will always be If you can't go to the battlefield, you want them to be newcomers to others forever! If you want this, then why do you train them, just be hacked to death by the enemy!"

The ruthless words that came out of Zhao Hu's mouth made the tenacious Starn speechless. His lord will never be guessed what he is thinking. The formation of this army with special attack methods is like this, the magic fire that will never be extinguished With the arrowhead like this, he will never be able to keep up with the footsteps of the lord.

"Order everyone to get ready." Zhao Hu waved to Starn beside him with a gloomy expression. Everyone was trying to suppress their breathing. This was not intentional. All the soldiers were newcomers Training to kill people and actually killing them are completely different things. Everyone is so nervous that they dare not breathe.

This was also Zhao Hu's first fight, and he was also a rookie on the battlefield. Zhao Hu felt that his fingers holding the short sword were already a little stiff due to excessive force.

The luxuriant bushes outside the camp provided good cover for Zhao Hu and the peasant soldiers. The whole army had advanced in ambush to a distance of about 100 meters from the Kaitoka camp. All the soldiers gathered around the bonfire, but the sentinels could still be seen walking back and forth on the crude watchtower of the camp.

"Can you shoot down the sentinel on the watchtower on the west side?" Zhao Hu turned his head and looked at the hunter leader Mengda who was following behind. His eyes were shining brightly, and Mengda, who had always been hunting in the mountains, was taken aback. It's like a pair of beast's eyes."

Zhao Hu could already clearly see a simple stable in the upper left corner of the camp, inside which were more than a dozen war horses gnawing on dry grass in the wooden trough, which should be the war horses of the thirteen knights.

Zhao Hu shudders every time he thinks of Starn's fluent and gorgeous knight dragging sword skills performed in the castle square. If these orthodox knights who are professional killers are allowed to ride horses, no matter how seamlessly their own fighters cooperate, these battlefields Most of the new recruits will definitely fall, which is why Zhao Huxuan made a surprise attack at night.
