To get around Yaki's zone of control and get to Epsommiton, it would take twenty days even with cavalry. Although it could be shortened to about fifteen days with a hasty attack, the horses would have died in large numbers, and the soldiers would have been exhausted from it, and it was obviously not appropriate to take Epsommiton and hold on. But the food and grass needed for these 20 days became a big problem. Although Li Tianhao mobilized all the camels in the territory to carry grain and grass for this purpose, and in addition to the food eaten by people, the horses were all fed with beans to save space, but the officers knew very well that their grain and grass could only last for eighteen days at most.

But along the way, Li Tianhao didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and the speed of the march did not speed up by a star and a half because of this. After nearly eight days, the first thing he sensed was Katzsius.

As Li Tianhao's guard captain, Katzsius won Li Tianhao's trust. At the beginning, Cénas tried to get out of Katzsius's mouth more than once why Mueller's performance in this operation was very abnormal, but unfortunately Katzsius also knew nothing about it, and Li Tianhao did not reveal any tone to him in this operation, and even Cenas suggested that he talk to Alam to no avail, when Katzsius asked about Mueller's reaction, Alam laughed loudly, but refused to reveal the truth. Extremely disappointed by this, Xenas did not even let go of Jamo and Shagora, and even released his precious apprentice Eglius to inquire in many ways, but all of them ended in failure.

However, Catssius gradually felt something strange after Xenas stopped pestering him. As a native of the Tyrse Mountains, he knew the power of the barbarians. Although the barbarians are sparsely populated, the tribes are scattered. And they attack each other, but they are very fierce and fierce bandits. Even if it's a regular army, they won't hide, because in their eyes. Not attacking is a sign of cowardice, even if you die on the battlefield, it is much better than living in shame, so Li Tianhao's brigade has been driving into the barbarian area for seven days, and it is absolutely abnormal that there is not even a team to harass them.

Could it be that the barbarians are brewing a bigger operation? If so, why can't you see a trace of worry in Li Tianhao's expression? As time passed, Katzsius's doubts grew.

From the ninth day of the march, Li Tianhao suddenly began to walk at the front of the line, followed by Muller and Alam. It's like you're leading a team. And it was clear to Katzsius that they were not going around in a northwesterly direction, but in a westerly direction.

Less than half a day after the troops had turned west, Katzsius had discovered the clue that there were barbarian scouts nearby! This didn't need to be deliberately searched, he could detect it with his martial instinct alone, so he believed that generals like Li Tianhao and others should have noticed it. Sure enough, the way the whole team behaved had begun to change imperceptibly, and the commanders had already spread out their cavalry and kept their guard on the march. But only Li Tianhao, Muller and Alam still have a calm and relaxed expression. There was no nervousness at all.

"It's not good, it seems to be in the trap of the barbarians." At some point, Xenus had come to Katzsius's side and muttered.

Katzsius nodded and replied, "There seem to be signs of infantry movement on the back of the heights on the left and right. The boss must have noticed this, but if you look at him, it really doesn't look like he's going to take measures. ”

"It's getting more and more interesting." Senas touched his chin and smiled, "This journey is full of question marks. It seems to be a little more fresh. ”

Katzsius gave him a blank look: in the eyes of this man, Xenas was not too much trouble. Anyway, with his strength, he can get out of the way under any circumstances, and as for the life and death of other people, he never seems to care about it very much. But for an ordinary samurai like himself. That's a matter of life and death. Therefore, Katzsius unconsciously placed the bow at the angle where it was easiest to draw, and at the same time began to check the condition of the bowstring and arrows, and he had to be ready for battle at any time. I'm sure the rest of the troops think the same way.

"Stop! And then there is death! A man's voice came from the hill in front of him, speaking standard Yaqui, so most of them understood what he was trying to do. However, Katzsius was a little stunned - according to his experience, most of the barbarians attacked directly when they were at a disadvantage, and such a clear and fair shout would only happen when they were in an absolute advantage, could they have several times the strength of their own troops? This is impossible, it is impossible for a barbarian tribe to have tens of thousands of people, and even a tribe with a population of thousands is very few.

When Li Tianhao heard this, he ran forward a few steps and shouted, "It's Mo Mo Butu, right?" I'm Li Tianhao! I am back! ”

A man immediately came out of the mountain, and the pergola of the hand tower looked at Li Tianhao for a long time, and suddenly danced and said, "Really! It's really Li Tianhao! Li Tianhao is back! Li Tianhao is back! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, thirty or fifty people sprang out from the top of the hill and shouted loudly. Immediately, in the surrounding mountain beams and the grass on the high ground, barbarian warriors jumped out from behind the stones, dancing and singing songs and running towards Li Tianhao. Amazingly, there are more than two thousand of them!

Under Li Tianhao's order, the cavalry stood still, waiting for this group of barbarian warriors to rush. This group of people flocked to Li Tianhao's horse, and the man named Mo Mobutu said with a smile on his face: "Li Tianhao, you are really back!" Yikes! And Mueller and Alam! You're all back! Great, great. Fast! Go back and report to the chief! ”

Li Tianhao also jumped off the horse and hugged Mo Mobutu tightly: "Friend, long time no see!" You're still so strong! ”

"Where, I'm much worse than I was three years ago, and I'm not forgiving at my age." Momobutu replied with a smile, grabbed Alam again and said, "Look, Alam has grown so big, he is already a warrior." ”

Seeing that the two were very familiar with each other, Xenas came up and said, "You two thousand people dare to attack eight thousand cavalry, you are bold enough." ”

Momobutu glanced at him and said coldly: "Who are you, how do you know the strength of the Canno warriors?" Even one Canno warrior is worth ten soldiers! If there are 1,000 people, it is worth 10,000! ”

"Hey, that's a big tone. I'm here to learn! With that, Xenas jumped off his horse and took the greatsword in his hand.

Seeing this, Momobutu did not hesitate to pull out the thick-backed scimitar from his waist. Seeing this, Li Tianhao didn't stop him, but just whispered to Mo Mobutu: "He is very powerful, pay attention." ”

When the other barbarian warriors saw this, they immediately stopped and began to shout loudly to cheer for goodness. Senas smiled slightly, swung his sword and attacked Momobutu.

After a loud bang, a scene that stunned everyone happened: Xenas's greatsword was actually struck by Momobutu's scimitar! The people who can take down the giant sword of Xenas are also very rare among the Tyresian rebels, and this barbarian warrior actually did it! In the next battle, the two of them fought back and forth, and the surrounding barbarian warriors cheered in unison, as if they were celebrating a festival, and they were extremely excited.

In the blink of an eye, the two have been fighting for dozens of rounds, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Momobutu is indeed a ruthless character, and his strength is not under Muller! But it's a pity that his opponent is Senas, and under Senas's offensive, even a brave man like Momobutu has fallen behind. With a dodge, Xenas suddenly jumped out of the circle, put away his sword and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not talking nonsense, you do have two brushes." ”

Mo Mobutu also stopped, gasped for breath, and said with a smile: "Big man, you are very powerful, Mo Mobutu can't beat you." ”

Xenas laughed and said, "Of course, I'm the undefeated mercenary Xenas!" ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion among the barbarian warriors: "The head man is here!" Get out of the way! (To be continued......)
