On the Seven Towers

On Suero's way east, Shi Hao's team of fifty people led their horses and hid in the loose woods on the roadside.

The woods were so sparse that they could not block the sunlight. The midday sun shone directly on Shi Hao's military cap, making his throat smoke and his heart burning, not to mention the irritability.

Leo handed over a kettle, and Shi Hao waved his hand and said, "Not thirsty!"

"Captain, what's there to worry about? Hey, when I studied your war history, I knew that there was a method called breaking up the engagement. Aren't you submarines so rude when attacking merchant ships and freighters?"

"You did well in class, huh?"

"This class is exciting, much better than that math class. It's like listening to a story." Speaking of the officer's short training course, Leo's eyes lit up, and he repeated his evaluation, "It's exciting!"

A company-level officer like him is already qualified to access a lot of information about the earth world. After all, with so many people coming into this world, it’s impossible to hide something like this. Therefore, the committee decided long ago to disclose this information in a hierarchical and step-by-step manner. The reality was not much different from what they expected. The locals didn't care where they came from. Some people are full of curiosity, affection, and even admiration for that mysterious world.

"In a moment, you will be the captain of the submarine, and we will be the torpedoes. You just need to press the button, and we will be out in a swish. You close your eyes and don't have to worry about anything." Leo said with a smile.

"Fart!" Shi Hao hit Leo on the head with his hand, "I see that button is on your head."

Leo ducked sideways, but Shi Hao's hand failed.

"Captain, although you have been practicing fighting spirit for some time, you are still a little bit behind me."

"Hey, you are very capable, right? If you are so capable, you won't have to do it for a while. Just sit here and watch the overall situation. Go back and write a summary report. Remember to send a copy to the political commissar."

"No, Captain, I will have to choke myself to death if I report it. Why don't you give me a slap on my head?"

"roll!"

After waiting for another half hour, a convoy finally came from the front. It was a team of six carriages, with four or five riders guarding each carriage. There were about twenty riders at the front and the end of the team. As a refugee, this team is quite large, at least judging from the number of soldiers, it has surpassed Shi Hao's team.

"Captain, when they come over, shall we launch a surprise attack?" Leo asked.

"We must warn them first. What if they obey us?" Shi Hao said.

"Then how about we line up on the road and scare them."

"No, you can't use the formation at all on the road. In this way, you lead people to slowly outflank them from the woods on both sides. If the other party resists, attack directly from the middle of their team." Shi Hao said, "Here, let's find a smart man Just give them a shout. It’s considered a courtesy first and then a soldier.”

Leo looked around and said: "Captain, here are all rough people. It took me a month to memorize the disciplines clearly. I think we should let them go. Even the road you taught me last time was driven by me." 'I can't tell. How about... I go?"

"You...forget it, I'll come. You lead your troops well. If the situation changes, I will raise my hand and you will attack." He was about to get on his horse, but when he thought wrong, he waved to a soldier who was responsible for guarding the leader. He said, "Lend me your shield."

Shi Hao held the iron-clad wooden shield and rode to the middle of the road. He faced the approaching team from a distance and shouted with fighting spirit: "Listen up to the team in front. This road has been blocked by the China Tower army. I suggest you Follow our arrangements and go to our resettlement camp to wait.”

The team on the opposite side stopped. The guards reported the situation to someone in the first carriage. Then a middle-aged man got out of the car. He walked to the front of the team and said, "I am Waldo Ann." Inigo, the steward of Viscount Duer, there has never been any conflict between the Andur family and the China Tower. We had trade relations in the past. We avoided this war and it did no harm to the China Tower. Outstanding family, we don’t want to go to resettlement camps, we are only going to go to our own territory.”

"no."

"Do you hope to force the warriors of our family back to defend the city for the Marquis in Suero?"

Shi Haodao: "I told you that you are going to the resettlement camp. If you are not willing to go, then leave all the goods behind. We are not sure whether what you are carrying is your own property or whether you are carrying inaccessible goods. All of them Goods must be inspected."

Butler Inigo's face darkened: "Are you, the soldiers of the China Tower, planning to rob here?"

"Of course not, we will register all the goods and property. Then we will verify your family's business conditions, and any property that meets your legitimate income will be returned to you." Shi Hao explained.

Butler Inigo pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, let's talk about it. Everyone has come a long way and worked hard. Our master is willing to give you fifty golden axes for your hard work. You can do whatever you want with the money, but Now you have to let us pass. What do you think?"

Shi Hao said: "Butler Inigo, this is not my style of doing things. I will remind you one last time to cooperate with our work, otherwise we will take enforcement action. If anything happens at that time, you will be responsible for the consequences."

At this time, Viscount Waldo's guards had already discovered the soldiers coming from both sides. The guard leader said to the butler: "They have no good intentions. The man in front is probably stalling for time. If we wait for all these people to arrive, we will be at a disadvantage."

Butler Inigo said to the guard leader beside him: "Kill this annoying guy, let's rush over!"

"Line up on both sides, charge!" The guard leader shouted loudly, took the bow from his back, drew the bow and shot. The guards around saw this scene, some bent their bows, some rode their horses, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight arrows shot at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao shouted and hurriedly raised his shield. The guard leader's powerful arrow pierced the wooden shield directly, revealing an inch of arrowhead, almost knocking him off his horse. He waved his hand to give instructions, ordering Leo and others to attack, and then he used his fighting spirit on the shield to protect his body, turned his horse's head and rushed into the woods.

He blocked all the arrows shot at him by the guards, but he was helpless against the arrows shot at the horse. In the ten seconds after he rushed down the road and into the woods, the horse under him had been hit by four or five arrows. One arrow with fighting spirit hit the horse's neck, blasting a hole deep enough to see the bone in the horse's artery, causing fatal damage to it, and blood spurted all over the ground like a spring. The horse let out a whine, and fell down with its hooves softened.

Shi Hao quickly turned over and dodged, so that his legs and feet were not crushed by the horse. He hid behind the horse's body and put up a shield, but he didn't wait for more arrows to shoot.

Because there were a series of crackling sounds around, like continuous drumbeats, which were the sounds of lance shooting.
