Ride and Cut

Chapter 23: Prepare for war

   Hutt took a bite of the flour from the Bake City, and couldn't help feeling a slight warmth in the eye sockets-how long have you not eaten this thing? Since leaving the kingdom of half-orcs, the centaur has no choice in eating and drinking, and even the taste of the once-favorite wheat flour is almost forgotten.

   "How long do you think it will be for the enemy to come to Alpine Fort." Richard used a spoon to loosen the corned beef, scraped another spoonful of jam, and tore it in the cake together.

   "It's definitely not going fast." Hutt smiled contemptuously. "The wild people are **** who only take advantage and don't lose money. Just organizing rations will take at least a few days. I think it will take at least ten days later."

   Annie breathed a sigh of relief. Ten days were enough to wait for the firm's reinforcements to arrive and then to withdraw calmly. She is a businessman, and it is not in the interest to be involved in a war inexplicably; she is a woman and can't bear to let the heavy-loss guard go through another test.

   "They are indeed a grass-roots team, but Alpine Fort can't relax their vigilance just because they underestimate the enemy. Since they know that they will fight sooner or later, they will double their outposts from today. The soldiers take turns to rest and stay on duty." Richard said.

   "My lord is wise." Hutt gave a flattery in time.

   "To be honest, I wanted to beat them a long time ago. I didn't find a chance for a while. I actually dared to get together and send it to the door. I just packed it up, hahaha." Richard raised his head and laughed three times.

   Gunther stacked three cakes into a stack, half dried in one mouthful, was suddenly startled and almost rolled his eyes, and quickly picked up the ale cup and poured it into his mouth.

   "By the way, Hutt, what weapons are your centaurs good at?"

"My lord, the centaur are all excellent archers. They can send arrows into the rabbit's eye sockets within a hundred steps." Hutt rubbed his hands. "But the bow and arrow are very delicate weapons. Our clan has been out of our homeland for a long time. , There are not many bows that can be used now."

   "Your clan...hey, wait." Richard suddenly found his blind spot, "It's impossible for your clan to have only adult soldiers, right? Where did the other old, young, and young women and children go?"

   The 21 centaurs who joined Gaoshan Fort are all men of sufficient age, which do not fit the age and gender composition that a tribe should have.

   "They..." Hutt blinked his eyes twice, especially innocent. "They are slow, and they drove a lot of grazing animals. It may take a few days before they can come."

   Richard looked at the honest face, and suddenly understood-this guy wants to hedge the risk!

   If Richard defeated the indigenous coalition forces, he would take the other members of the tribe into the alpine fort. And if the indigenous coalition forces overturned Richard's car, it would be very convenient for Hutt to run with some young soldiers, after all, they have four legs!

   Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, who is more stupid than anyone these days.

   looks like a fool, with more hearts and eyes than monkeys, and the principle of not putting eggs in a basket is carried out to the fullest.

   "Then remember to tell the sentries, don't make an oolong." Someone ran to give him his life, and Richard wouldn't even be too careful to think about it.

   "Miss Anne." He tapped on the pine wood table with his fingers, and called back the half-elf who was obviously wandering. "I want to know if your firm can lend Gaoshanbao a sum of five hundred gold coins."

   Now that Richard has more lice, he doesn't have to worry about his debts, and he has the mentality of being smashed and smashed about his financial situation. Anyway, since I owe one thousand and five hundred gold coins, it's no big deal to borrow another five hundred.

   The advantage of borrowing money to develop the army is better than borrowing money for gambling, because I don’t have to worry about getting debts collected by thugs, because I have an army.

   "No problem, I can totally call the shots for five hundred gold coins."

   Loan usury is also one of Voya's core businesses, but Annie did not mention interest at all. Now the half-elf was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

   "Alpine Fort will always thank you for your generosity." Richard nodded in thanks in a decent aristocratic accent.

   After eating, Richard took Hutt to pat his chest to ensure that the bow and arrow would be in place immediately, and at the same time instructed him to start training with the centaur tomorrow to find the feel, and then he took the five hundred gold coins delivered by Annie into the house.

   The bows and arrows used by the centaur are slightly different from the equipment of the general archers.

   The expensive longbow is currently recognized as the strongest bow in mainstream military equipment. It is famous for its long range and great power. Equipped with a half-pound armor-piercing arrow, it can even shoot through the knight’s plate armor directly at fifty steps away.

   But because sitting on horseback has no down-to-earth power and convenience, human archers cannot use longbows at all. They can only retreat and choose short-riding bows that are much worse in range and accuracy. Contrary to the intuitive impressions of many people, due to the gap in equipment, the archers will suffer a disadvantage if they shoot directly against the infantry archers.

The flexibility of the cavalry and the power of the longbow are like white roses and red roses to humans. They have always been contradictory options that are not available at the same time. If you want this, you have to give up that ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But this truth is half the truth. It's not true in front of people and horses. In this line, they are born to enjoy food and eat. Due to the special body structure of the unity of the centaur and the horse, the centaur can use the longbow to shoot in the running, taking into account flexibility and power, and it is more than a star and a half more powerful than ordinary archers!

   Open the system panel, the heavy shining gold coin instantly disappeared without a trace, and at the same time there was an extra 500,000 dinars in the store.

   Centaur purple jersey longbow, fifteen thousand dinars, twenty-one according to the number of people. Cone-headed white feather arrow, a pot of eight hundred dinars, forty pot is at least.

  A huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary civilians, it is only enough to hear the sound of armed forces, and it takes more than half of the effort in the blink of an eye. A famous general said that fighting is to burn money. Richard believes that this is completely nonsense, because burning money does not burn so fast.

   Gaoshan Fort’s pioneering business is like a bottomless pit that swallows gold, and it seems that the rewards are far away.

Richard was frustrated for a long time and did not relax. He originally thought that being a lord is the castle, the maid, and the lady and the lady have banquets constantly. In fact, the fart hasn't seen the rest of the heart and the debts that are endless. It's better to be a bandit with money.

   The more he thought about it, the more angry he got. He kicked over the empty gold coin box and fell asleep on the bed.

   The next morning.

   The purple jersey longbow was distributed to the centaur, and Hutt began to train with the tribe in full swing.

   Li Cha watched them practice. He deserves to be a well-known shooter. Even the most crappy a dozen centaur herders can hit a thick wooden stake fifty steps away when they are running at full speed after finding the feel.

   is an expert at the doorway, this level is much better than the so-called Hundred Steps Wearing Yang, and the level of human elite archers may only be regarded as amateur fanciers in the Centaur's view.
