Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 44 44. Antifreeze
"Fish? You are joking, the ice is so thick and the weather is so cold, I am afraid there will be no fish to catch."

Lu Mu said a few words, Zhang Qi didn't refute, got up slowly, turned around and left.

"What you said is not entirely correct. It is more convenient to catch fish in winter than in other seasons. As long as there are fish in this section of the river, if you cut through the ice, the fish will surround you."

"However, now is not the time to catch fish, and we are not short of food. When we have time in the future, I will show you how to experience it."

Zhang Qi's face was a little flushed because of the cold wind. Although he covered his face with a scarf, it was still affected by the long journey.

Lu Mu followed behind him, while Ma San looked after the horses with a surprised expression.

The nine prairie horses that were seized from the previous attack on the Huns were now used to haul supplies, while the war horses brought out from the world of riding and hacking stood obediently in place.

Faced with the oatmeal fodder that Ma San fed, he would not refuse anyone who came, and ate them all.

If it wasn't for Zhang Qi's reminder, Ma San would continue to feed him. He had a lot of experience in raising horses, but it was his first time taking care of such a tall horse.

"Lang Jun! These horses eat a lot."

Ma San wanted to say something, but after a long while he swallowed a lot of words, he only said that these horses can eat.

He was not a talkative person, ever since he was planted with a spiritual point, he always wanted to kowtow to Zhang Qi when he faced him.

"According to the food intake of prairie horses, it is enough to increase the feeding by [-]%, and there is no need to ask about the rest."

Zhang Qi also saw that these riding and chopping war horses would indeed make some horse breeders doubt their lives.

"Yes, I understand, sir."

Zhang Qi walked to the middle of the team, and NPC soldiers were on guard outside. A fire was set up in the middle, and two iron pots were hung on a wooden stick.

Bouillon boiled in the pot, and these days they ate only broth, with the occasional addition of carrots and squash.

Otherwise, how could Zhang Qi say that he was a bit tired of eating, that is, he, other people didn't think so, there was meat to eat every day, and the salt was enough, no one would complain.

While Hui was busy in front of the iron pot, Bo was helping him, while Ying and Harrier were gesticulating with each other boredly.

Taking off the gloves, Zhang Qi moved his hands to the fire and roasted them. When his hands were warm, he took out a small wooden box from his chest and opened it. Inside was a layer of white paste.

This is the lard he boiled in the world of riding and hacking, and he brought it out together this morning, but in the morning, he was only thinking about how the horses would change, so he forgot to take it out.

He didn't remember it until he saw the flushed face on the ice just now.

Grease is a rare high-quality antifreeze cream. Zhang Qi put the lard box next to the fire, and when the surface showed signs of melting slightly, he began to apply it with his hands.

Palms, arms, ears, neck, and then the entire face.

Although the greasy touch made him a little uncomfortable, but the dry body was so moistened by the oil, and the whole person felt much better.

"Stop hitting, come here, and give you two something nice."

After smearing himself, Zhang Qi called the two hawks who were gesticulating.

"Wipe it like I just did, you know, don't steal it, if you dare to eat it, I will beat you two!"

Zhang Qi pretended to be vicious, and he couldn't do without telling these two guys who ate and licked the pot. The lard was so fragrant, it would be hell if they could hold it back.

"Okay, what is it?"

Ying grinned and asked with a smile, although they saw Zhang Qi smearing something on his face and hands just now, they didn't know what it was.

"Lard oil, antifreeze, after wiping it off, give it to Hui and Uncle, you all wipe it on, don't lose your nose and ears by then."

Zhang Qi explained, and then Chong Hui and Bo also said.

Several people nodded, and Ying took the lard box over, and began to smear his face as Zhang Qi did before.

When he finished applying it, he shouted in surprise, "Qi! This stuff is amazing! The place where it's been wiped is so comfortable!"

"Is there any more? Can you do it all over my body?"

"Fuck off!"

Zhang Qi scolded Ying with a smile: "You still want to rub it all over your body. If you are pulled out to refine oil, the oil you get out is not enough for you alone."

"That's right, that's right, it's too much waste to wipe because of your naked body." Harrier also made fun of Ying, then snatched the lard box from him and wiped it.

In the noisy room, the meals were almost ready. They first filled a few bowls and sent them to the NPC soldiers, and then sat by the fire and started eating.

Naan bread dipped in soup, Zhang Qi took a bite and chewed: "How much do you remember the words Lu Mu taught you?"

Several people were feasting. Hearing Zhang Qi's question, Ying bit a large piece of meat and said while chewing: "Those words know me, but I don't know them. Qi, I beg you, brother, can I not?" Learn."

"No! You must learn! This is not negotiable."

Zhang Qi took a sip of the soup and stared at the eagle.

The eagle was a little scared, chewing the food in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "Got it, I just learn."

At this time, Lu Mu interjected: "Mr. Lang, everyone learns very quickly."

Just when Lu Mu wanted to continue talking, Ying suddenly threw the bowl and fell to the ground.

The speed of the action is unstoppable.

Zhang Qi frowned and stood up, poured the food back into the pot, pulled out the heavy crossbow he was carrying on his back, and cocked the arrow.

Eagle's actions were not aimless, Zhang Qi trusted him, he must have discovered something.

Sure enough, in about ten seconds, Ying got up from the ground and shouted at Zhang Qi.

"Sound of hooves, there are a lot of people, less than two miles away from us! Over there!"

Eagle pointing in one direction.

"alert!"

"Direction southeast! Circle formation!"

There was a series of sounds of throwing bowls, and the NPC soldiers formed a battle formation the moment they heard Zhang Qi's order.

The Battanian savages stood in a semicircle right in front of the team, and the crossbowmen and sergeants connected with them, and the crossbow bolts were strung up.

Behind them, the champion archers also took down their longbows, one hand already resting on their quiver.

Three armored cavalry quickly got on their horses, took off their spears and stood guard on both sides of the team.

Not long after, even without the warning from the eagle, Zhang Qi and the others clearly felt the shaking of the ground. When they were 300 meters away from Zhang Qi and the others, a large group of black spots broke into their eyes.

The road of a few miles is very short for the cavalry, everyone is looking directly at the opposite side, a little bit tense, otherwise it is impossible, on the grassland, the weak will be eaten to the bone.

"Appeal."

With a series of horse pulling sounds, the oncoming group of people stopped one after another, more than a hundred meters away from Zhang Qi and the others.

"Zuo Tuqi Department, Hundred Chief Aguru, who are you?!" p1
Yiqi rushed over from the group, stopped about ten meters away from Zhang Qi and the others and shouted.

　The army structure of the Huns is highly similar to that of the Han army.

　　Under ten thousand riders, they also have thousands of leaders, hundreds of leaders, and ten leaders.

　　However, due to the characteristics of the nation, most of them exist in the form of tribes, that is, one ten chief represents a certain tribe that can dispatch ten elite soldiers to fight in wartime.
