When the caravan leader heard the news from the rear in the car, he was inevitably a little suspicious, but for the sake of safety, he ordered the team to stop and sent several horsemen to investigate.

Riding a slave horse galloped out, and the distance of four or five miles was instantaneous. As soon as they approached the edge of the dense forest, they were driven out by several weak arrows, and about 200 thieves rushed out of the forest.

Most of them were ragged and held sharpened wooden poles in their hands, and only those who looked slightly better dressed had some rudimentary armor and bronze spears, and the most well-dressed leader held a bronze sword, and his body was wrapped in simple leather armor, revealing his strong muscles.

The crisis in front of him is imminent, and the caravan servants can't help but be a little panicked, but the main thing is that he has never encountered such a large-scale thief, and the thieves who have not been long-sighted in the past only need to send guards to go up and slash and kill, but at this time, the enemy is outnumbered, but he hesitated.

Lu Pheasant found that the principal had not given instructions, and the caravan guards were also a little panicked and agitated, and motioned for Le Zi to carry himself onto the roof of the car. Lezi looked at her little daughter with a confident glint in her eyes, and couldn't help but believe her decision.

"Everyone, quickly surround the riders." Lu Pheasant shouted towards the vehicle behind him with his hands, and the family soldiers accompanying the escort also hurriedly ran towards the car of the Lu family in the rear, relaying Lu Pheasant's orders as they ran.

Lu Gong and Lu Ze also got out of the carriage with Lu Shizhi, and ordered the soldiers to quickly drive back the carriage of the caravan in front of them. The procession, which had originally formed a column, slowly gathered into an ellipse.

Naturally, they quickly understood Lu Pheasant's intentions, and sent soldiers with bows and crossbows to the roof of the car, ready to shoot some thieves who approached first. Fortunately, the head of the car formation fully entrusted the command to the Lu family, and with the call of the director, the caravan personnel also moved faster. By the time the thieves approached the place of the shot, the vehicles behind them had formed two rings.

The outermost layer of the car array has a half-man-wide gap between the car and the workshop, which is precisely the size that makes it impossible for thieves to enter and allows the inner guards to fight back with spears.

The two layers of vehicles were about ten paces apart, and the archers and crossbowmen stood above the vehicles of the second layer of the formation, ready to go. Lu Pheasant had already gotten off the roof of the car at this time, and waited for the result of the escort battle with the Lu family's female dependents behind the second layer of the car formation.

At this time, Lu Gong also had to work hard for the life of his family, commanding the guards of both sides to prepare for battle in the gap between the cars. The caravan reacted so quickly that the thieves who followed behind were in a dilemma, and they had to make a large circle to join up with the frontal assault.

The crossbowmen above the vehicle finally shot the first wave of arrows, and with Lu Ze's order, the arrows were fired neatly at the thieves who rushed over. In the scattered crowd of thieves, several screams were heard, and the fallen thieves were trampled on by the people behind, and the original howls slowly disappeared, leaving only a few motionless corpses behind.

When the thieves approached the carts, the crossbowmen in the rear had no wide range of fire and had to shoot arrows into the gaps in the front rows. At this time, several archers with rudimentary wooden bows among the thieves began their counterattack.

Close quarters battles were already in full swing outside the caravan, and the bandit leaders outside the caravan found that the caravan had become a difficult bone to gnaw, and they could not break through the caravan, but were constantly killed and wounded by the people inside.

He ordered the thieves in the front row to lift the back ones up, in a vain attempt to climb over the obstacles. The crossbowmen in the rear were worried that they had no target, and they laughed at the targets that came to the door, leaving only a few thieves on the roof of the car who were wailing.

The thieves, who were lucky enough to climb over the car formation, found that there was another layer behind them, and they were surrounded by guards, and finally they were poked into a sieve in despair.

Lezi wanted to cover her daughters' ears so that they would not be frightened by the wails of thieves, but Lu Pheasant refused. Chang Ji trembled and saw that her sister didn't need it, she also learned to put down the hand covering her ears and learn to adapt to this cruel world.

"There is no better music than the wail of the enemy!" Lu Pheasant muttered to himself in a bit of distraction. Lezi is a little worried that her daughter is too resolute and may not be liked by men in the future.

Lu Pheasant, who was in a trance, remembered that he had ordered that he would cry in Yongxiang and not stop making rumors: "The son is the king, and the mother is the captive." All day long, often with death! Three thousand miles apart, who will tell you? Mrs. Qi was cut into a human being, and she tried her best to kill King Zhao, but she was complained by Ying'er. Didn't he know that he begged Zhang Liang to thank Zhou Chang for his grievances in order to maintain his throne?

She vented her anger on Mrs. Qi, and with the wriggling body in the dung pit in front of her, no one could believe that she was once Liu Ji's favorite Mrs. Qi. She finally felt a rare peace of mind in her heart, the only thing she didn't expect was that Liu Ying ignored the government and gave up on herself.

The sound of slashing in the formation of the car brought her back from the past. Lu Pheasant heard the sound of the battle on the periphery gradually weakening, and realized that the battle was coming to an end, so she motioned to one of the soldiers who was protecting them to bring her father and brother a plan, which could basically wipe out the thieves who had no intention of fighting again.

Lu Gong listened to his daughter's plan and thought it was true, and after communicating with the principal, the principal made someone spill a bag of copper coins on the ground, and at this time, the originally stable peripheral car formation was deliberately released by the guards. The guards' originally powerful counterattack also became weak, and the bandit leader's original intention to retreat was attracted by the belongings in front of him. If you lose a lot of money and can't get a penny, won't you lose so many people in vain?

"Second and third sons, this car formation has dispersed, rush!" The bandit leader motivated his men, and the bandits swarmed into the two train formations.

The bandit leader soon found that things were not going the way he had hoped, and the guards who looked like they had been defeated were still in close formation at both ends of the bandits, and the thieves who swarmed in were even more blocked by the second layer of vehicles.

The crossbowmen on the roof of the car didn't have to aim and shoot down at random before a thief's cry of pain could be heard. The spears on either side were much longer than the spears made of wooden poles in their hands, and the thieves near the ends had several bloody holes in their bodies, and they fell to the ground howling more and less.

The wooden bun on the head of the bandit leader was also picked up by the spear, he broke out in a cold sweat and realized that it was a trap, and was just about to shout for the thieves to withdraw, but he was dazzled by a cold light, and he found that the whole world rotated a few times, and when he saw his headless body on the side, he realized that he was going to die.

His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that he would end up like this.

The thieves, who had lost their command, gradually realized that something was wrong and were about to turn around and flee, but they were stopped by their partners who bent down to pick up the copper coins underneath. There are bandits who see that the defeat in front of them is decided, and they turn around and are about to escape through the hole. He didn't run a few dozen steps before the cavalry slave who had been watching the battle on the periphery for a long time seized the opportunity and stabbed him to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was gone, the remaining bandits had to throw down their weapons and kneel on the ground and beg the caravan to forgive them, after all, even if they were sold into slavery, they could survive, so why should they give up their lives?

The bandits were tied up one by one and guarded together, the coins on the ground were covered with blood and dust, and many of the dead bandits still held a handful of copper coins tightly in their hands.

Lu Pheasant also walked out of a safe place at this time, covered his nose with a handkerchief to avoid inhaling dust, and walked towards his father and brother and the principal. At this time, the director was saying compliments without money: "Sir, if it weren't for Mr. commanding properly, the caravan would definitely suffer greater losses." ”

She was very disdainful of the person in charge, and when she saw that her family only brought some books, she disdained it, and when she found that the tools were easy to use, she licked her face to borrow them, and she hurriedly complimented her after maintaining the caravan, and she was really speechless.

But the focus is not on these things now, she interrupted them: "Now we should heal the wounded guards first, and reward them according to the decapitation." ”

The principal was very surprised that the little lady in front of him still understood this, and seeing that her father and brother also looked reasonable, he did as Lu Pheasant suggested. When he sent someone to calculate the credit, it was obviously also counted by the Lu family's guards.

The Lu family's guards advanced and retreated properly, although the number was not large, but it was far more than the scattered caravan guards killed and injured bandits, he watched the battle from a distance and was very envious of the Lu family's proper training, and his heart couldn't help but turn some careful thoughts about wanting the Lu family to help train a little.

The guards, who were originally a little exhausted, couldn't help but cheer happily when they heard that Lu Pheasant had won a reward for them, and the injured guards also felt that the scars on their bodies were no longer painful, and they couldn't stop bowing to Lu Pheasant. Lu Pheasant's face did not change and accepted it calmly. It makes the caravan director feel that this woman is extraordinary and abnormal.

After the battlefield was cleaned, more than 100 bandits died, and more than a dozen guards who unfortunately died in battle were buried in the woods not far away. The remaining bandits who surrendered were anxiously waiting for their fate.

"These bandits should not be as good as a baseman to warn future generations." Lu Pheasant said his opinion without changing his face.

Lu Gong didn't expect his daughter to be so ruthless to the remnant bandits, but he just moved his lips slightly and didn't object. After all, the victor has the right to choose whether to pity the other party, and if he and others are robbed by bandits, I am afraid that the end will not be much better.

"If the principal wants to prohibit his escort from moving forward, it is better to let the few who hide in the rear during the battle go and cut off a few heads to practice their hands, and next time they will know that the enemy is nothing more than that. Even if these bandits sell to others, they will inevitably be unruly, and I am afraid that they will ruin the reputation of the caravan. The staple food should not think about selling them for money. She looked at the hesitant principal and persuaded.

Soon after, a two-zhang high Jingguan was piled up on the side of the road, and on top was the leader of the bandits. In order to avoid the plague brought by the corpses, the remaining bandits were also driven to dig a deep pit, and after the pit was dug, they were executed and thrown into the pit one by one. The air was filled with the smell of sticky blood.

Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi couldn't help but show unbearable expressions when they watched the captives being killed, but Lu Pheasant smiled faintly and said, "Big brother, the second brother is not in charge of the army!" She believed that her brother would recover and not be as frightened and panicked as Ying'er. They are destined to become capable generals, so why not sharpen them sooner?

When they set off again, the later people were shocked to see that the group of bandits in the township of Woe was neatly arranged in Beijing. I thought it was the bandits who were ordered by the Great Liang to send troops to clear the area, but only the bold people went to the simple grave in the distance and saw the new grave belonging to the caravan and were surprised to find that it was originally made by the caravan.

Invisibly, the outstanding force of this caravan spread throughout the Wei State. When the caravan master came and went to trade again, there was no trace of bandits, which is not to be mentioned.
