The camp was dead silent, except for the whirring of the night wind.

"It doesn't mean anything else." The voice of the leader of the Vedic cavalry was loud: "We don't want to shed blood, and I believe that the eldest prince doesn't want to shed blood either." ”

Yuwen Chengchao said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, just say what you mean." ”

"Please come with us." The leader said, "As long as the eldest prince follows us, we will not harm anyone in the caravan." Those eyes were like wolf eyes in the dimness: "This condition is very generous, I don't know what the eldest prince wants?" ”

"Can you answer me a question before you answer that?" Yuwen Chengchao stared at each other's eyes.

"Please!"

"Is it related to you that the caravan horses were poisoned?" Yuwen Chengchao asked, "How did you do that when you planted spies in my caravan?" ”

The man laughed: "The poisoning in the horse material is indeed our doing, but who should it be, the eldest prince seems to know?" ”

"You mean Ling Zixiao?" Yuwen Chengchao said lightly: "But I don't believe it." ”

Qin Xiao glanced at Yuwen Chengchao, thinking that it seemed that Yuwen Chengchao had the same thoughts as himself, and did not think that Ling Zixiao was Neiying.

"If the eldest prince wants to know, he can go back with us first." The man said: "When the time comes, no matter what the eldest prince wants to know, we will tell you the truth." ”

"You said you were sent by the White Wolf King?" Yuwen Chengchao said: "Coincidentally, this time I came to Wutuo, I happened to be going to visit the White Wolf King, so I don't need you to lead the way, I will go to see the White Wolf King in person." ”

The man smiled and said, "The White Wolf King kindly sent us to greet us, but the eldest prince doesn't seem to appreciate it?" ”

"I'm a man who never owes favors to others easily." Yuwen Chengchao smiled faintly: "If you are really sent by the White Wolf King, just go back and tell the White Wolf King, within five or six days, I will go to meet you." ”

The man sighed: "The eldest prince, we are acting according to orders, if we can't bring the eldest prince back, the white wolf king is afraid that he will cut off our heads." ”

"What does it have to do with me cutting off your heads?" Yuwen Chengchao sneered.

The man's voice turned cold: "In this way, the eldest prince would rather watch a few of us have our heads cut off than deign to go with us?" ”

"If you are not deaf, you should have heard my reply." Yuwen Chengchao said coldly.

The man also sneered: "If we have to insist that the eldest prince go with us, then what? ”

"You have a knife, I have a knife, you can give it a try." Yuwen Chengchao raised his head slightly: "If you were the people of the White Wolf King, you shouldn't be so rude." Snorted coldly: "Who are you, pretending to be a Vedic cavalryman, pretending to be a ghost, what do you want?" ”

Qin Xiao had naturally already seen that these cavalrymen, with their faces covered, naturally did not want to be seen, if it was really a cavalry sent by the White Wolf King, there was no need to do so.

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's very straightforward, you don't understand?" Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "You are not a Vedic soldier, and it is impossible for you to be a horse thief, I know a little bit about the forces operating in this area, except for horse thieves and Vedic cavalry, I can't think of anyone else who will be active here." Staring into the leader's eyes: "So you can only come from the pass, and you have planned to ambush here a long time ago." ”

"Why is the eldest prince so sure?"

Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "Just think about it with your brain." The face sank: "So I want to know,

What do you want? ”

The man was silent for a moment before he said, "The eldest prince is indeed very shrewd. In fact, I came to negotiate with the eldest prince, just hoping that too many people would not die, and it was also to give the eldest prince a chance. But now it seems that the eldest prince would rather let all the people in the caravan carry their backs than be captured. ”

"Since I was a child, I didn't know what it meant to be caught." Yuwen Chengchao said: "So if you want to fight, I will fight." ”

The man looked at Qin Xiao beside Yuwen Chengchao and said, "Do you really want to die here for this one person?" If you disarm, I can guarantee that I won't hurt you. ”

Qin Xiao raised his arm, pointed the blade at the man, and said with a smile: "If you kneel down and kowtow to the eldest prince a few times now, and ask the eldest prince to forgive you, I may really be able to spare you tonight." ”

The man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that one of the guards beside Yuwen Chengchao would also have such an arrogant anger, and he suddenly raised his head and laughed, and the sound was like thunder, spreading far away.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this person was full of energy, and it didn't seem that he was good at stubble.

In the midst of the laughter, the man turned around the horse's head, led his men and urged the horse away, but in the blink of an eye, he had reached the high slope, but he did not disappear, went up the high slope, turned the horse's head again, and turned to look condescendingly at the camp.

Yuwen Chengchao said in a deep voice: "They are going to do it, everyone go all out." He and Qin Xiao returned to the back of the car, and at this time they heard a horn sounding.

Under the moonlight, as the sound of the bull's horn spread far away, everyone had already seen that many horsemen appeared one after another on the high slope, lined up in a row on the high slope, and there were thirty or forty horsemen at least.

Yuwen Chengchao was surprised in his heart, and heard the fat fish shouting from the left: "Everyone prepare, the thief has appeared." ”

Qin Xiao immediately turned his head to look over, only to see that on the high slope on the left, there were also many cavalry figures.

He was taken aback, and when he looked to the right, there were also more than a dozen riders on the high slope there.

Yuwen Chengchao naturally also saw it, and roughly estimated that the other party had sixty or seventy horsemen combined, and in terms of numbers, he had almost caught up with the number of caravans.

However, most of the caravan did not have the ability to fight, but the other side was all Qingyi sè cavalry, so the enemy's strength far exceeded that of the caravan.

Although Yuwen Chengchao had prepared for the worst, he did not expect the situation to be so grim.

He knew he was right, and that these men could not be horse thieves.

With nearly a hundred cavalry, this horse thief will be a huge threat wherever it appears, and the White Wolf King will never allow such a terrifying force to exist on his territory.

When the horn sounded, the people in the caravan already knew that the enemy was coming, and they saw the shadows of the cavalry on all sides.

Before the enemy could be killed, many of them were already squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, according to the rules of caravan encounters with robbers.

No matter how stupid a person is, he also knows at this time that the current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is absolutely impossible to resist the enemy's attack with only more than 20 guards in the caravan, and the only chance to survive is to honestly not participate in it, so as not to suffer the disaster of death.

Most of the people in the caravan were just working and eating, and few people were really willing to work hard for the sake of loyalty to the eldest prince.

Yuwen Chengchao saw that the number of frontal enemies was the largest, so he didn't return to Ning Zhifeng's side, but just shouted over there: "Crazy, you are in charge of the command over there." ”

Ning Zhifeng agreed.

actual

There are not many people in total, and there is really no command, it is nothing more than a desperate fight when the enemy kills him.

The elites of the White Tiger Battalion brought by Qin Xiao, including Geng Shao, were all a little nervous.

This is not because of fear, they have been training in the White Tiger Camp for many years, and they are all brave, although the number of enemies far exceeds their side, but they have no fear, but everyone has never encountered such a situation before, and it is inevitable that they are a little nervous.

Fortunately, these elite soldiers had excellent control over their emotions, their eyes were like knives, and they stared coldly at the cavalry in the distance.

On the contrary, it is Fat Fish and others who lead the bodyguards of the trade pair, although these bodyguards also have some skills, but Longhe Trading House is backed by the Yuwen family, and has not encountered any major trouble for many years, for some bodyguards, this difference not only earns more silver, but also is much easier than the horseman's foot strength, as long as he does not encounter trouble, it is really a big difference.

And these bodyguards have really been very relaxed for a few years, and have hardly ever really touched people.

It was the first time in many years that this had happened, and the other party was obviously not an ordinary horse thief, and the hands of several people with longbows were even trembling slightly.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a clear whistle, and after the sound, Qin Xiao saw that the cavalry on the high slope began to move downward, faster and faster, and soon rushed straight towards the camp.

"Bow up!" Yuwen Chengchao said loudly.

Geng Shao and the other ten people had already bent their bows and arrows, although they were a little nervous, but the moment they pulled out the longbow, everyone's hands were steady and powerful.

The horses' hooves were arrayed, and the cavalry rushed towards the camp from three directions at the same time, although there were only a few dozen horses charging, but the earth seemed to tremble, and the momentum of the group of cavalry was like a thousand horses.

"Whoosh!"

There are no arrows released here, but the enemy cavalry is the first to release arrows, Yuwen Chengchao categorically shouted: "Release the arrows!" ”

Geng Shao and the others immediately loosened their strings, and ten sharp arrows burst out.

Arrows staggered through the air.

The opponent shot dozens of arrows over, and the arrows shot here seemed weak, but everyone saw the opponent's arrows flying, and immediately dodged, wanting to block the opponent's momentum with arrows, and even shot a few people on the other side, who knew that the other party was using arrows to suppress the momentum on this side.

Those cavalrymen were not only good at horsemanship, but also extremely skilled in archery, and extremely powerful.

The horses in the camp neighed, the cavalry shot arrows and took arrows and then shot them, Geng Shao and others were suppressed by the opponent's arrows, and they couldn't shoot back for a while, those cavalry hadn't rushed over, they had already shot three rounds in a row, and hundreds of arrows were shot.

Some arrows flew into the camp, and in the midst of the indiscriminate arrows, two porters were shot by sharp arrows, one only hit the shoulder and screamed, while the other was shot directly in the forehead and fell to the ground and died.

Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart.

The other party has no scruples, and the attack is fierce, it seems that they really will not show mercy to their subordinates, look at this situation, they really want to bloody the caravan by Zhuma Lake.

It would be fine if the other party was just a lot of people, but these cavalrymen had obviously undergone strict training, and the cavalry and archery skills of any cavalry were not under the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion.

He knew that in the face of such a fierce enemy, tonight would be really unlucky.

But whose men and horses are such a group of cavalrymen who appear like ghosts?
