Yanhui mountain range, towering and towering, birds difficult to cross. Unfathomable, no trace of people. It is bordered by the sea in the east and Canglong in the west.

Canglong Mountain Range, there are countless peaks and peaks, I don't know its height. The Arctic ice field, which originates from the Arctic Ice Field, which is known as the Absolute Domain of Life, is like an extraterrestrial dragon crawling in the north of the continent, stretching thousands of miles to the south, intersecting with the western end of the Yanhui Mountain Range.

One east and west, one north and south, two huge mountains, constitute a natural barrier, in the northeast corner of the Dongzhou continent, draw a piece of north and south wide 8,000 li, east and west long more than 10,000 miles of relatively closed area, is Yanzhou.

There is no swallow in Yanzhou, and it is not about the climate. It is said that Yanhui Mountain is too high, and Feiyan cannot cross it. It is also said that the fierce birds and beasts in the mountains are too violent, and the gentle and weak little swallows are afraid but unable to move forward.

The domain of no swallow is called Yanzhou, and I don't know if it is the bad taste of the original namer, or because of the Yanbei people's yearning for the soft life of the southern 'gentle wind and drizzle swift flying'.

Yanzhou, which is not worthy of the name, is not good for mountains and rivers, men and women, there are few graceful, and many are fierce. Especially in Yanbei, the most common ones are poor mountains, bad water, wind, horses, spirits, and fighting.

It seems that in order to confirm the sinister nature of Yandi, a violent battle is about to unfold in front of the world. The caravan that had traveled long way down the mountain was walking into an ambush circle of horse bandits hidden in the mountains.

The scale of the caravan is not small, the chariots are chariots, horses and horses, along the official road, winding and twisting, it has to be one or two miles long.

In the middle of the procession, there were wagons full of goods. In front of and on both sides of the convoy, there were dart masters with guns and swords, prancing horses walking back and forth.

The strength of the dart master and the number of up to a hundred people seemed to give the caravan a strong psychological guarantee. Therefore, the owner of the caravan, a thin old man in a Confucian cotton robe, who looked more like a teacher than a wealthy merchant, sat leisurely in front of the carriage, holding his little granddaughter in a snow-white fox fur and pink jade, and smiling. I don't care about the cold wind and the sinister road.

"Grandpa, grandpa, didn't you say that there are a lot of horse bandits on this road? I have walked such a long way, why haven't I seen it?" The little pink hands gestured exaggeratedly, trying to prove how far they had traveled.

The elder twisted his jawline and smiled indulgently, "Hehe, we have so many guards with dart masters, how dare ordinary horse bandits stroke the tiger's whiskers." ”

The little girl was obviously a little disappointed, "Grandpa lied, you said that I would definitely see the horse bandits this time." You brought so many dart masters, the horse bandits didn't dare to come. Grandpa, will you let the dart masters go?"

"Hahahaha. The little girl's innocence made the old man laugh out loud, "Don't deceive, don't deceive." I mean, ordinary horse bandits don't dare, but there are still ordinary horse bandits. ”

"Where, where, where?" said the little girl, standing up in the old man's arms, looking around.

As if in response to the little girl's expectation, suddenly, a long "beep" sound drowned out the noise of the carriage and horses, and it was an arrow that slashed through the air. Immediately, "Woo~he~", the low and penetrating shouts of hundreds of people, and the dense sound of horses' hooves suddenly came.

The shouting became louder and louder, and the howling was piercing like a raging wind. The sound of horses' hooves is like a drum like thunder, and the sound hits the human heart. With the sound, two galloping horse teams outflanked the caravan on the left and right. The black horses, the shining long knives, and the monstrous murderous aura, like a landslide, like a hurricane, like a sea tide, swept in with overwhelming momentum.

Little Lori, who doesn't know the world, doesn't know how dangerous and cruel the next fight will be, she is still elated, clapping her tender little hands and watching the play excitedly, "It's really here, it's really here." Grandpa, grandpa, are they the horse bandits you say?"

Of course, the rest of the caravan was not as unreasonable as Little Lori, and they were all shocked and colorless, and exclaimed, "Oh my mother, the Wind Thief!" "It's over, how can you meet the Wind Thief?" Even the horses pulling the cart were restless and didn't listen to the control. Fear and panic instantly permeated the entire caravan.

Fortunately, the team leader was experienced, calmly commanded the convoy, strongly controlled the startled horses, nervously and quickly contracted to the middle, and strived to form a circle around the convoy before the horse bandits approached, forming a formation to defend against the enemy.

The old man in the Confucian shirt stared for a moment, and he didn't dare to let the little Lori watch the excitement. Ignoring the protests and struggles of little Lori, he hugged her and slipped into the carriage.

After a while, the horse bandits came in a surge. Someone shouted loudly: "People have left their names, geese have left their voices." The wind is everywhere, and the wealth is not left behind. If you know each other, abandon the car and run for your life. Otherwise, people and money will be lost, there will be no corpses, the children will be left alone, and the wives and concubines will be cheap to others. Hurry up, hurry up, dare to delay for a moment, don't blame Feng Ye for being unpredictable. ”

"Huh? It's weird. ”

A little farther on the hill, several horses stood tall, two of which were in the front. Sitting on the top of the white divine horse on the left is a young man with eyes like cold stars and a face like a crown of jade. The young man's name is high and far-reaching, and he is the big boss of this bandit. Similar to Yanzhou's name, Gao Yuanfeng has a face that makes women envious, jealous and hateful, plus a free and easy white boy's shirt, how can he have the image of a fierce bandit.

On the right side of the swarthy horse, a little behind, is the second master Guan Zhong. He meets the standards of a thief in people's imagination, with a strong body and a bearded face. However, in response to the sentence that people should not be good-looking, including the fierce Guan Zhong, all the horse bandits were in awe and awe of the beautiful high wind.

Gao Yuanfeng pointed to the tense and noisy scene at the bottom of the mountain with a horsewhip, but it was not chaotic, "The dart division team did not go forward to meet the enemy, but concentrated backwards in an orderly manner, as if they were preparing to break away from the caravan, what do they want to do? What's even more strange is that why don't the dart team and the caravan have flags?"

As a dart master, there is absolutely no reason to retreat without a fight. Even if you know that you are invincible, you have to fight to the death. Otherwise, it will affect the credibility of your own dart game. For dart games, reputation is life, even if it needs to be maintained with human life. What's more, the huge compensation for the loss of the dart is enough to bankrupt their family.

As for the flag, it is a must-have for large trading houses and dart boards. It is not only a sign of self-strength, but also a warning or greeting to people in the green forest along the way. As soon as the banner came out, the bandits who dared to fight the idea of the caravan had to weigh whether they could eat it, how much it would cost to eat, and whether they were afraid of the next retaliation of the dart game and the caravan.

And the greeting statement is aimed at those green forest forces who understand each other but are afraid of each other. When the dart guards pass through the territory of these forces, they will knowingly leave an appropriate amount of 'road money'. Darts and bandits save some face for each other.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the flag is the talisman of the merchant and the dart, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. Horse bandits who are not strong do not dare to act rashly; those who are of comparable strength can just send people to ask for a little toll, so that they will not have to fight hard. Unless bad luck falls from the sky, encountering a bandit with an overwhelming advantage in strength or a stunned young man who lacks experience in the rivers and lakes.

At the moment, this caravan and dart team, judging from the scale, is obviously not weak. Therefore, there is no dart flag and business flag, which is particularly grotesque.

The bearded Guan Zhong's face couldn't help but be a little solemn, and after observing it for a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "It smells like a soldier." Could it be a trap for the officers and soldiers?"

Indeed, the performance of the dart board and the caravan resembled that of the regular army. First, the response was swift, panicked but orderly, and appeared to be well-trained, and secondly, the caravans gathered in circles and served as walls or walls to resist the onslaught of the horse caravans, greatly reducing the possible casualties of their own side.

The most brilliant thing is the dart team, which did not blindly step forward and forcibly smash the storm team that had already increased the speed of the gale, but pulled back to get out of the unprepared engagement. The horse team charged, unstoppable. Rushing into battle is tantamount to using scattered sand to block the torrent, not only is it useless, but it is to send meat to the chopping board, and the life of your own dart master is in vain.

Pulling away is different, not only can you let your own horse team cohesive into a joint force to form a battle formation, but also can maintain mobility and flexibility, advance and retreat, and grasp the initiative on the battlefield. If the horse bandits besieged the caravan circle, they attacked and killed them from behind. If the bandits chase and kill the dart team, if the number of them is small, the dart team can completely defeat it, and if the horse bandits far outnumber the dart team, the dart team can lure them away, and then the caravan is enough to protect itself.

The caravan and the dart team were so well-founded that the gale thieves were embarrassed, no wonder Guan Zhong suspected that this was an official regular army.

"Hehe, it's kind of interesting. Gao Yuanfeng sneered: "Give me the order to wave the flag, the whirlwind team surrounds the convoy and does not attack, and only injures the enemy with bows and arrows." The Tempest storms the darts and drives them away. If the darts do not retreat in the direction they came from, but instead go to the front road, let the frightened team that has been in reserve come out and intercept the reserve horse team that they may be hiding behind. ”

Someone behind him immediately took out the colorful order flag and played the flag.

Two teams of Wind Thieves down the slope responded to the order, one of the centaurs leaping around the circle of the cart, keeping it at the edge of the range of the bow, and themselves relying on the bonus of the horse's speed, from time to time throwing arrows into the rim. There are not many arrows, the threat is the main thing, and the killing is secondary.

The rule of the year of the Great Wind Thief, that is, the rule after Gao Yuanfeng took on the role of the big boss, is to rob money and not his life as much as possible. If you can, you won't kill, and if you can, you won't kill more. As for the possibility of indulging in the enemy's calamity and incurring revenge, in the midst of the mountains and rivers, the gale thieves are mobile and brave, and they are never afraid of anyone.

The other team remained in charge, picked up speed again, and charged towards the gradually concentrating dart team.

As Gao Yuanfeng expected, the dart team turned around and ran in unison, just on the other side of the hill. Looking at the posture, it is precisely the preparation to go around to the front. If they still have ambushes on the back road, they will be one end and the other, sandwiching the gale-thief in the middle.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanfeng decisively waved his hand. The frightened party behind the hillside jumped out and pounced on the caravan's approach.

At this moment, smoke and dust rose on the way, and the horse army ambushed by the 'dart team' outside the line of sight began to move from static to slow, from slow to fast, rushing towards the battlefield.

Seeing that a vicious battle was inevitable, this was by no means the wish of the Great Wind Thieves after Gao Yuanfeng was in charge. It's not that the gale thieves don't dare to kill, they don't kill people well, they really don't want their brothers to have unnecessary casualties. Even if it is a thief, it is only for money, and it is not the pleasure of the rational to kill people.

If you only rob money, the grudge between the two sides will not become an irresolvable knot. The vast majority of people are still willing to sacrifice their wealth to eliminate disasters, after all, there is a life, and if the money is lost, it can be earned again.

If you kill too many people, sooner or later you will encounter endless revenge. I often walk by the river, and it is inevitable that my feet will not get wet. Mortal hatred is better than less, less is better than nothing.

However, if he really wants to meet a dead man, the gale thief did not hesitate to make him wake up to the 'soft-heartedness' of a bandit. Since he is a bandit, how can he be qualified to be cowardly, kind-hearted and soft-hearted.

Gao Yuanfeng waved his hand again, and there was another wave of colorful flags behind him. Down the slope, in the convoy of horses, someone took out a special bow and arrow from a quiver, and a thick tarpaulin was tied to the shaft. I saw the rider take a piece of fire paper and wipe it on the shaft of the arrow, and the shaft of the arrow immediately ignited a fire, and the wind blew without stopping.

Whoosh, several rockets were fired into the rim. It is still a warning, the meaning is obvious, if the caravan does not surrender or abandon the caravan again, the gale thieves will let it go even if they return empty-handed, and they will not hesitate to set fire to the convoy. As for inflicting casualties, the caravan was at its own expense.

The stubborn caravan, the fleeing dart team, and the newly emerging backup horse team finally couldn't calm down and reacted instantly. The reaction was to immediately erect their own banners: Changfeng Chamber of Commerce, Dingfeng Dart Bureau.

"Yo-heh. Guan Zhong snorted coldly, "It's not small." But isn't it too late to put up the flag at this time? Why did you go early? Since Lao Tzu has cast his net, it is impossible for him to return empty-handed. With his Changfeng Commercial Bank and Dingfeng Dart Bureau, he can't bluff Lao Tzu. Give them a quarter of an hour for the merchants and coachmen to leave with their bare hands, or they will be killed!"

He didn't notice Gao Yuanfeng's expression beside him at this time when he gave the order, otherwise he would never be so arbitrary.

The corners of Gao Yuanfeng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't laugh in surprise, "This ······ , what kind of play are you playing for me?"
