After a day's rest at Fukuyama Castle, the caravan set off again.
This time, Johnson was at the forefront.
More than two dozen wagons passed through the city gates in turn, and after a routine inspection by the soldiers guarding them, they issued passes.
Walking out of the city gate, Yang Yunhui looked back at the tall Fushan City Gate Tower. In his heart, he unconsciously remembered those Ulan people, guessed the purpose of their coming to Fushan City, and couldn't help but worry about this city.
It wasn't until many years later that Yang Yunhui learned that all along, whether it was war or peace, there would always be merchants in Ulan who stayed in the Shire city.
Maybe it's because war and survival don't allow the two countries to completely sever ties.
"Boy, what are you thinking, why don't you go quickly?"
Lao Qi was urging in front.
Only then did Yang Yunhui turn around and catch up with the team.
Shortly after the caravan had left Fukuyama Castle in a long procession, several fast horses hurried out of the city and galloped towards the side of the caravan's advance.
At noon.
The caravan entered the edge of the grassland, and the surrounding mountains gradually disappeared, slowly turning into large plains.
From time to time, grazing cattle pass by.
The shepherds would sometimes stop and exchange things with the caravans, and Joseph was happy to see that happen.
There are diamond mines on the plains, which the herders call colored stones, and these colored stones are Joseph's favorite things. After the colored stone is retrieved from the charr, it can be exchanged for double the wealth.
After another 3 days, we will arrive at Changshan City, the destination of this business trip.
Changshan Castle does not have a long mountain, but a mountain that appears to be smaller in the south. Since there are no very tall peaks in the north, this long mountain is the highest mountain on the northernmost border of the Shire country, so the locals call it long mountain. When the castle was built, it was named after this long mountain, so it was named Changshan Castle.
Since Jangsan Castle was built on a plain, there were not many steep mountains nearby to defend it, so it was difficult to defend. Whenever war came, it became the focus of the Ulans.
After years of development, the population here has gradually increased, and the more people consume, so there are many business trips to and from here on weekdays.
Besides, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone this place close to the frontier.
There is a profession called bandits in the south, and horse bandits in the northern plains.
The day after the caravan left Fukuyama Castle, when it saw that it was about to reach Changshan Castle in a few days, the caravan encountered horse bandits.
"Boss, this is the guy, look at this posture, the car is loaded with a lot of things," said a man wearing a white gauze mask on his horse, pointing to the caravan in the distance.
"Yes, there are only about 50 people, we must do this vote," said another burly man wearing a white scarf and mask.
I saw the burly man put his hand in his mouth and whistled loudly.
Hulala, more than 20 horseback riders suddenly came out from under the mound behind him.
"Up. ”
The burly man pointed his hand at the caravan.
"Whew, huh~"
"Minions~"
The bandits rushed towards the caravan, shouting strange slogans at the same time.
And over here, in the caravan.
"Oh no, the horse bandits are coming!"
Lao Qi shouted at Johnson.
Johnson also heard the voice from a distance, and immediately turned around and yelled.
"The horse bandits are coming, round car formation, quick!"
The caravan guys behind were startled at first, and then quickly began to set up formation.
The guys arranged the wagons in a circle, and everyone hid behind them, holding swords and crossbows in their hands.
And Joseph's face changed slightly, and he hid in the car and didn't dare to come out.
At this time, Johnson took over the command and constantly arranged manpower to plug the gaps.
Finally, the round car formation was completed before the bandits approached.
The horse bandits saw that the caravan had formed a circle, and they did not come close, but kept circling around the periphery.
Taking advantage of this time, Johnson led people to shoot several arrows at the horse bandit in a row. A few of the bandits were unlucky enough to be shot down.
Eventually, perhaps fearing the power of the bolts, the bandits left.
"Whew, finally gone!" Lin Jiahao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Let's go, they'll go? It's just an outpost, and I'll definitely come back in the evening," the old doctor said as he put down the crossbow bolt in his hand and glared back at Lin Jiahao.
"Ah, still coming at night?" Lin Jiahao's mouth opened wide.
"I've seen a lot of this kind of battle with the big boss, and every time I come here, I will encounter horse bandits," the old doctor said angrily.
"Ah, how did you all survive the danger? ”
"Don't be afraid, we have two sixth-grade great sword masters, nothing can happen, you just don't run around. ”
After the bandits left, Johnson asked Lao Qi to go to the front to investigate. It wasn't until it was confirmed that the bandits were far away that the caravan continued on its way.
Johnson didn't dare to make the guys tired on the next journey, so he stopped and camped after walking for half a day. Because he knew the bandits would come back.
When camping, the convoy was still in a circle formation, surrounding the trucks outside, and people were piled up under the cars to eat and sleep.
In order to prevent the horse bandits from attacking at night, Johnson left a third of his men to keep vigil.
Yang Yunhui sat in the hospital car, a little worried.
Lin Jiahao also didn't dare to sleep, for fear of sleeping to death.
"Call me when there's movement outside," the old doctor said to Lin Jiahao, who was guarding the door of the car, and then went to sleep.
The night on the plain was quiet, the moon seemed to be very round, and the moonlight shone brightly on the ground.
The first half of the night was uneventful, and the guys were keeping watch safely.
It wasn't until the second half of the night, when the moonlight waned, that the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance of the plain.
The sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer woke the men up, and the night watchmen told each other until they were all awakened.
The crowd hid under the wagon, watching the approaching horses in the distance.
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Before the bandits could get closer, a barrage of crossbow bolts came at them.
The bolts of the bolts made a crackling sound on the wagon.
Several torches were then thrown in. The burned man rolled on the ground screaming, and the people around him hurried up to put out the fire.
Someone was immediately shot by a crossbow arrow.
"Ah~"
Luckily, the bandits didn't put in a lot of torches, perhaps because they were worried that the goods would be burned.
"Arrows!" Johnson was not to be outdone and began to fight back.
Hearing the order, the guys immediately began to return fire. A burst of crossbow arrows shot out, and they also shot down a few horse bandits decently.
Seeing that his men had been shot down, the leader of the bandits yelled angrily, "Rush in and kill them all." ”
Then the bandits roared towards the round cart formation.
After losing a few more men, the bandits finally approached the convoy.
The horse bandits dismounted and climbed over the truck, and they dragged the goods to the ground with their loads.
Gradually, the round car formation was torn open. Then, the bandits roared towards the gap.
At this time, the captain of the caravan's guard, the six-rank great swordsman, stood at the front, holding a long sword, opening his bow left and right, and slashing at the horse bandits.
The people of the convoy also stood up, holding their weapons and fighting with the horse bandits.
Johnson was not idle, carrying a sword and wandering around the round car formation, leading his men to cut down the horse bandits who came in from the side one by one.
Seeing that more and more people were falling around him, and his own people couldn't attack him, the leader of the horse bandits roared angrily.
"Fuck it, fuck off. ”
Then, the leader of the bandits rushed to the gap with a spear.
The leader of the convoy saw him and raised his sword to meet him.
"Ding. ”
"Ding. ”
"Ding. ”
After a messy clash of gold and iron, the rest of the people were shaken apart, leaving only the leader and the captain of the guard to fight alone.
"Mom, look at this posture, this leader is also a six-rank great swordsman," Lin Jiahao turned to Yang Yunhui who was lying in the car and said.
"What's it called, we have two sixth-grade great sword masters in our team," the old doctor shouted as he pointed at Lin Jiahao.
Hearing this, Lin Jiahao shrank his head, and then stuck his head out of the car again to continue to watch the situation in the field.
At the gap, the two powerhouses were fighting alone, and the other bandits were not idle, and they attacked the caravan from the rest of the place.
"This won't work," Johnson thought quickly, and after a quick thought, he immediately took five steps and three steps, quickly cut through the crowd, and rushed towards the two sixth-rank powerhouses who were single-handedly at the gap.
"Hey!"
The leader of the horse bandits was concentrating on the leader of the guards, not noticing Johnson's approach, Johnson rushed forward and slashed at the leader of the horse bandits with a sword.
The leader of the horse bandits suddenly saw a person quickly killing from the side, and hurriedly raised his gun to defend.
"Ding. ”
"Ugh!"
Although the leader of the bandits blocked Johnson's attack, he could no longer defend himself against the attack of the leader of the guard.
The leader of the guard cooperated with Johnson and stabbed with a sword from the side.
With a pop, the iron sword entered the body, and blood splattered everywhere.
The leader of the bandits was stabbed to the ground by the leader of the guards.
Johnson immediately stepped forward with his sword raised, ready to kill him with a sword.
At this time, I saw the strength of the six-rank great sword master. I saw that the left hand of the leader of the horse bandits quickly raised upward, and a small crossbow arrow shot out of his sleeve at great speed.
At this time, Johnson was in no hurry to dodge.
"Poof. ”
"Ahh
The sound of a crossbow arrow shooting into a human body was followed by a scream of Johnson before he fell to the ground.
The leader of the guard dodges to the side when the bolt is fired.
Just in the middle of this lightning and flint, the horse bandits behind rushed up and quickly rescued the leader from the gap.
Eventually, the bandits left, but left behind a dozen corpses.
Joseph checked Johnson's injury, but fortunately Johnson wore inner armor, so he did not suffer a serious injury.
Two people died on the caravan's side, and seven or eight others were slashed, and the damage was not great.
After a brief tidying up, Joseph made a quick decision, and the caravan immediately hurried overnight. The men galloped towards Changshan City in the carriage as fast as they could.
Johnson was also sent to the old doctor's medical van.
Yang Yunhui looked at the injured Johnson and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It turns out that the Six-Rank Great Sword Master is also so easy to get injured. Hey, life is so fragile.
Yang Yunhui has always thought that the six-rank great sword master is already a super strong existence, especially his own Cao Zixiao, who often brags about how strong he was back then.
Now it seems that a small crossbow arrow can injure a six-rank great sword master, which makes Yang Yunhui's original fantasy image of a super strong martial artist fall into the dust.
The caravan traveled overnight, coupled with the substitution and rest halfway, non-stop, and finally, the outline of Changshan City gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"It's finally been a thrilling ride to Changshan City," Yang Yunhui said, sitting at the front of the carriage.
"Woo, Yunhui, I was scared to death last night, I thought I was going to die," Lin Jiahao cried excitedly.
"Isn't that all right," Yang Yunhui shook his head.
