Chapter 33 Ambush the centaur and snatch the purple horse
After three days of exploration, Verin selected an excellent place, a low valley to the north of the centaur's only route, which was very suitable for an ambush.
"It's August 8th now. There are still nine days before the centaur passes here. That's enough."
After making the mark, Verin set out to return, preparing to organize people, lay traps, strangle the centaurs, and snatch the purple horse.
……
In mid-August, a group of centaurs drove hundreds of purple horses forward slowly.
"Young Master, the scout reports that there is no danger ahead." A centaur holding an inferior bow and arrow came to a white centaur, knelt down on his front legs, and reported respectfully.
"keep going."
The white centaur Aria proudly gave the order for the team to move forward.
She needs to drive these purple horses back to the tribe before winter. At the current speed, there can be no delay.
At this moment, Verin was crawling in the bushes, observing the group of centaurs calmly.
The number of people is about fifty.
"Baird, get ready for action."
"Yes, my lord."
After receiving the order, Baird came to the foot of the hill and began to act according to the original plan.
A knight was covered in blood, carrying a package on his back, riding a red ridge horse, and started heading towards the trap.
For two minutes, Baird put on a ferocious face, led several of his men, and chased the knight covered in blood.
"Stop, don't run."
"Labour and management are going to tear you apart, you bastard, and leave your stuff behind."
In the wilderness, a sudden sound made the centaur driving the purple horse frightened and immediately alerted and looked around.
Aria looked gloomy, looking at the humans appearing in the distance, and said angrily: "Is this what you said about no danger?"
"Young Master, calm down."
The centaur responsible for the investigation was trembling with fear and quickly replied.
"Stay alert. If the other party comes closer, shoot the arrow and kill without mercy." In order to protect the safety of Qingzi Ma, Ariya gave the order without hesitation.
After hearing this, the surrounding centaurs bent their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the rushing humans. As long as the opponent came into range, they would release arrows directly.
Suddenly, Baird accelerated suddenly and split the package behind the horse's butt with a sword. Mithril with silvery white luster was revealed and fell to the ground.
"Mithril, young master, it is mithril."
The centaur with the reconnaissance characteristic discovered something two kilometers away and roared excitedly.
"I know."
Aria's eyes gleamed as she stared at the mithril picked up by the human.
"Young Master, give me a team of men and I will go get the mithril back." A tall and fierce brown centaur licked his lips, his eyes full of greed, and asked Ariya.
"Doris, is there any danger here?" Ariya shook her head violently to keep herself awake, and asked the silver low-level centaur warrior.
"Young Master, these humans are of low strength. You and others will protect Qingzi Ma. I will ensure that I get the mithril back by myself." Doris, whose sanity has been swallowed up by greed, can no longer control so much.
After some thought, Aria nodded and agreed to Doris' suggestion.
Immediately, Doris led ten centaurs away from the horses and chased Baird.
When Baird saw this, he realized that the other party had taken the bait, so he performed even harder, shouting all kinds of obscene words from his mouth.
"The other party took the bait."
Weilin was lying in the bushes, waving his fists excitedly.
At this moment, in the valley, Andrew led two squadrons of soldiers, controlling twenty bed crossbows, waiting for the target to arrive.
As the sound of horse hooves got closer, Andrew looked into the distance and saw the captain's figure, followed by a centaur.
"Ready, follow my instructions."
The soldiers of the two squadrons held their breath and waited for the Lord Knight's order.
"Humans, don't run away, leave your things behind, and you, Uncle Doris, will spare your lives."
In front of the red phosphorus horse that is good at running, the centaur Doris cursed and threatened loudly.
As he chased after him, he had no idea that he had entered a valley, and none of the humans hiding around him noticed him.
There was only the shimmering mithril in his eyes, and coupled with the confidence that his strength gave him, Doris lost his vigilance.
"put."
Andrew saw the opportunity and ordered loudly.
Twenty soldiers holding wooden hammers hit the trigger, and twenty long spears forged with mixed mithril flew out.
In a sudden moment, Doris noticed spears coming from all directions and waved the hammer in his hand to resist.
But under the attack of the spear mixed with mithril, the hammer in his hand and the armor on his body were easily pierced, and hot blood splashed everywhere, dyeing the ground red.
Doris looked at the humans in front of him unwillingly and slowly lowered his head.
After a round of shooting, there were still six centaurs left in the valley.
"The leader is dead, this is a human trap."
"Run, quickly, go back and report to the young master."
Several centaurs adjusted their direction and ran towards the entrance without looking back.
However, in the second round of spear fire, five centaurs were shot on the spot. One centaur escaped by chance, took out a red pill from his arms, swallowed it, and ran as fast as he could.
"Young Master, there is an ambush, humans..."
A spear flew over and pierced the centaur's body, nailing it to the ground.
The white centaur looked at the sudden appearance of humans around him as if facing a formidable enemy, as well as the crossbow appearing on the hilltop in the distance. He held a bow and arrow and began to charge up his strength.
Weilin was riding on his war horse, staring intently not far away.
"Lord."
After the two sides faced off for more than ten minutes, Baird came to Weilin with two groups of infantry and twenty three-bow crossbows, and dropped the human head he was carrying on the ground.
"Doris." The white centaur Aria looked at the human head that fell on the grass and wailed in pain, "Despicable humans, you will pay the price, pay a painful price."
"Prepare."
Hundreds of soldiers took out their spears, mounted them on their crossbows, and waited for orders.
After the eighty three-bow crossbows were ready, Weilin immediately gave the order: "Let go."
Eighty spears flew out from four directions, more than twenty centaurs were shot dead on the spot, and the remaining people were trembling with fear.
The white centaur Aria couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at the surrounding environment. There were less than twenty centaurs left around her. It was impossible to resist hundreds of humans. For the current plan, she had to give up the purple horse. , return to the tribe, and wait for revenge later.
However, on this basis, the identity information of the other party must be known.
"Despicable and shameless human being, how dare you tell me your name."
Ariya gestured to the living subordinates and spoke loudly in the direction of Weilin.
"attack."
Weilin ignored it and directly ordered the attack.
In order to avoid injuring Qingzi Ma, the next step was to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing that the opponent did not take the bait, Ariya stopped waiting and turned around and rushed towards the northwest where there were the fewest people.
"Scatter the horses and retreat."
Several centaurs blew bone whistles. After hearing this special sound, the green and purple horses immediately became irritable and restless, running around.
Taking this opportunity, the other centaurs followed their young master and broke out toward the northwest.
