Hearing the investigation results reported by the female warriors, Qin Rongshuai's heart suddenly suddenly, if it wasn't for the warning of the fleeing people, his group would have crashed into this cavalry after continuing to walk forward for a few minutes, and it would have been unimaginable at that time.

This wave of enemies is either patrolling scouts or raiding ranger squads, I am afraid that they can't dodge if they want to hide, the other party is cavalry, and the mobility is very high, and their own group is all on foot except for three horses, and it is impossible to run away.

He can run on a horse, but what about the five Amazon female warriors, this is his biggest capital in this plane, and it is impossible to give it up at all.

After all, he's a good boss who puts people first.

The boss's expression was solemn, and his newly recruited employees were even more panicked, and several people quickly shouted, expressing various opinions, while others looked away, looking around, thinking about when to escape.

"Mr. Emissary, let's turn around and go back to the village."

"Let's split and run for our lives."

"Fool, can you outrun the Persian cavalry?"

"So what do you say?"

"Why don't we surrender?"

"Are you stupid, we'll be beheaded by the Persians......"

Looking at this group of subordinates who were coaxing like headless flies, Qin Rongshuai was very unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to get rid of all this rabble, but he quickly suppressed his thoughts, don't expect too much from the mercenaries hired for money. What kind of discipline can people who work hard for money have, I am afraid that I am already very professional ethics when I heard the news just now and didn't run away directly.

Not to mention a group of mercenaries in this era, even in modern times, it is not easy to keep the army in danger in the face of superior enemies.

Krossos's head turned quickly, and when he saw his boss's gloomy face, he immediately said: "Sir, it is no longer possible to run away or avoid it directly, it is better for us to disguise ourselves as from the Ionian caravan, and say that we are going to purchase goods and materials to sell to the Persian army, and I will negotiate with the Persians later." ”

Qin Rongshuai was a little surprised, "You know Persian?" ”

"Yes, I've been in the Ionian region for three years." Krossos said with some smugness.

Ionia is the ancient Greek name for the southwest coastal region of Asia Minor, which belonged to the area ruled by the ancient Greek city-states, and the Ionians of ancient Greece settled here. In 546 BC, it was ruled by Persia, and in 500 BC an uprising broke out against Persian rule, and Athens intervened in it, which became the fuse of the Greco-Persian War.

This time, Xerxes led an army to conquer Greece, with a large number of Ionians and some Greeks as servants of the Persian army, including a large number of caravans, so Kross's method is also reasonable.

But this method is also very risky, what if the Persian cavalry suddenly saw the wealth and simply killed them and robbed them, this wilderness is a time of war, it is too convenient to do this kind of thing.

It's definitely hard to run away, and it's not impossible to ambush a wave of ambushes. But Qin Rongshuai was worried that if there was an accident in the battle, the battle situation would be scorched and delayed, and the Persian soldiers who had run away before would chase him over, which would be a front and back attack.

Qin Rongshuai rode on his horse and ran to the ambush on a small hillside to observe, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that there was a hill not far away, and there was an olive tree at the foot of the mountain, which was very dense.

He immediately ordered the distribution of the long contradictory cards that had previously captured the Persian soldiers, and had the four Amazonian warriors divide into two groups, each with five men ten meters apart, and lay in ambush in the woods.

Then one of the remaining female warriors took a long rope and tied one end to a tree, the height of a horse above the ground, and the other in her hand, hiding in a dense branch.

Qin Rongshuai stuffed the machete into the cloth bag hanging next to the horse's neck, selected a few spears, cut the wooden poles into half a meter long, tied them to his back, and wrapped strips of cloth around these short spears in order to conceal them.

It's just that the strip of cloth is a little long, and the tie is a little rough and a little loose, and the horse floats when it runs, and it looks like there are a few small flags behind it from a distance.

After the arrangements were made, Qin Rongshuai and Krossos disguised themselves as businessmen and rode horses to negotiate, if they could deceive the past, they would naturally be happy, if they couldn't get through, then don't blame him for not talking about martial virtues.

As for why not hide them all in the woods and wait for the enemy to pass before coming out. First of all, a group of more than a dozen people also carried horses, leaving too many footprints on the road, and they could see the tracks at a glance, and it was impossible for them to sweep all the footprints in a short time.

Secondly, these Persians drove the local Greeks, whether they were hunting slaves or scouting for a large army, and it was impossible to let go of such a conspicuous woods.

He and Krossus rode their horses and waited for a few minutes by the woods, when they saw a cloud of dust in the distance, and the figures of a dozen Persian horsemen emerged from the smoke.

When these cavalry got closer and closer, Qin Rongshuai suddenly found that there was something wrong with the dress of these cavalrymen, which was completely different from the Persian cavalry he had seen before, wearing pointed scalp hats on their heads, some wearing leather armor, and some shirtless and shirtless, looking unusually strong.

The cavalry at the front was completely different, with scales made of bronze armor on top of the leather armor, a full beard, a battle axe in his hand, a short spear and shield on his horse, and a one-meter-long recurve bow on his back.

But the most striking thing is that these cavalry, whether on their weapons, clothes, or the reins of their horses, are all shining with gold, and they look inhuman.

"It's the cavalry of the Scythians!" Qin Rongshuai immediately sank his face.

The Scythians, also known as the Scythians and the Cypriots in China, were a nomadic people living on the great plains of Eastern Europe.

The Scythians did not have a written language, but they had many skilled craftsmen who were good at making gold and bronze objects, and it is said that the Scythians did not produce iron and silver, but there were large quantities of gold and copper, so they liked to decorate a lot with gold, and now it seems that this legend is true.

Kross's face was also quite unsightly, and of course he knew the Scythians, who were fierce and had a tradition of cutting off their heads and skinning them.

"Your Excellency, I think ......," Krossos said in a hard tone, swallowing hard, "I think...... Let's run, shall we? ”

"Huh?!" Qin Rongshuai's face turned cold, the idea was yours, but the result was in front of you You said you were going to run, are you kidding me, so he subconsciously put his hand into the bag and touched the machete.

"I ...... I don't know their language......"

"A gold coin."

"They're pretty savage......"

"Two gold coins."

"It's a dangerous ......"

"Three gold coins, if you don't agree, I'll kick you off your horse." Qin Rongshuai said coldly.

Krossos immediately patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely convince them." ”

When the Scythian cavalry saw the two men, they slowed down and rode up around them, and one of the most richly decorated Scythian nobles opened his mouth and roared.

Qin Rongshuai secretly cheated on the system, and only loaded him with ancient Greek, but not Persian, so he could only signal to Krossus with his eyes.

Krossos stiffened, urged the horse under his crotch to lean over, and talked to the other party in proficient Persian, gesturing at Qin Rongshuai from time to time.

Qin Rongshuai couldn't understand what the two were saying, so he could only squeeze a smile on his face, while carefully observing each other's expressions, secretly guarding himself in his heart.

After a while, the other party let out a laugh, and Kross's expression relaxed, as if the two had reached an agreement, and he turned his horse and ran back to tell his boss the good news.

"Your Excellency, I have already negotiated with them, and they only need to hand over ten gold coins, and they can guarantee our safety......"

Qin Rongshuai listened to Kross's words with a smile while staring at the Scythians.

At this moment, the Scythian nobles whistled, and rushed over on horseback with golden battle axes, and the blade of the axe raised high glittered with a cold light, and slashed at the neck of Krossus, who was unconscious. At this time, Krossos turned his back to the other party and was happily talking to Qin Rongshuai.

Qin Rongshuai's eyes were quick, he grabbed Krossos's hair, and pressed him down violently on the horse's back, and the golden battle axe slashed into the air.

The Scythian nobleman did not seem to have expected this, and with too much force, his body shook, and he almost fell off his horse, but fortunately he was a skilled horseman, and his legs clamped the horse's belly to maintain his balance.

The two sides were so close that Qin Rongshuai could see each other's blue eyes, where would he let go of this opportunity, pulled out a short spear with his backhand, and threw it at the Scythian's face.

The sharp tip of the spear pierced into the opponent's eye, and a stream of blood shot out, and the opponent fell off his horse with a scream.

Qin Rongshuai struck a blow and slapped himself and Krossos on the horse, and the two horses immediately galloped.

The rest of the Scythians were so frightened and angry that they immediately took their bows from their backs and shot arrows.

"Whoosh!" , A dense rain of arrows swept past Qin Rongshuai, and Krossos fell off his horse with a scream. At this time, Qin Rongshuai couldn't take care of his secretary, gritted his teeth and crouched on the horse's back, and rushed towards the woods.
