Chapter 5: The Purple Robe (Part 2)
"All the guards, copy the Mo knife, and form a formation. Brother Minzhuang hid behind the carriage! Hearing the sound of the horn, Wang Xun immediately threw away his chaotic thoughts, jumped up, and made a deployment with instinct.
The performance of the people in the last fight is still fresh in his memory until now. Compared to the carefully selected and systematically trained Wyvern Guards, the former's combat effectiveness is almost negligible. Barely pulling them into battle would amount to premeditated murder. has sent so many unjust ghosts to the Hades Palace, Wang Xun doesn't want to create more sins.
This kindness did not get the understanding it deserved. Hearing the order, the Wyvern Guards quickly copied a Mo knife from the carriage and formed a triangular formation with him as the core. Those people who had just experienced a test of life and death actually copied the uneven guys from the carriage and squeezed behind the triangle formation in a chaotic manner.
"Don't make a mess, get behind the carriage." Wang Xun was in a hurry. opened his throat and yelled at the people. "It's all cavalry on the other side, and you can't help at all!"
No one paid any attention to him. The people protested with silence. "Hurry up and unload the car, assemble the car wall, stupid, you guys!" Wang Xun was anxious and angry, and hid again and again. A hoarse voice sounded from behind him, low into his ears. "Loulan people are watching from the side! We can't afford to lose that face! ”
"Old Wei?!" Wang Xun turned his head and happened to see the resolute smile of Wei Feng, the leader of Minzhuang. There is no need to say anything more, in the eyes of the tribal warriors, at this moment, they are all from the Central Plains. There is no difference between the Son of Heaven and the ordinary people.
"Then the guys are following me! Give the robbers some color! Wang Xun roared with red eyes. turned his head and stabbed the Mo knife in his hand on the sand.
"Boom!" Smoke and dust were everywhere. The hilts of the other one hundred and fifty-five Mo knives stabbed to the ground at the same time, poking the desert under their feet to a faint shaking.
In the smoke and dust, the Loulan warriors also jumped on their mounts, and under the organization of Kang Lao and Shi Huaiyi, they slowly formed two triangles. One left and one right, standing side by side with the Mo knife array.
Three iron triangles.
Two large and one small, standing still in the face of the chaotic sound of trumpets and billowing smoke.
The sound of the horse's hooves striking the ground in the distance was heard by the wind, and it was clearly heard by everyone. No one panicked, and no one looked around. They just stood quietly, either on foot or on horseback. It's as quiet as a 10,000-year-old glacier on the Altun Mountains, chilling in winter.
As if sensing this solemn chill, the approaching speed of the smoke and dust in the distance slowed down significantly. The sound of the horn grew slower and deeper, and then suddenly it burst out again like a storm, and then stopped abruptly.
Several Loulan scouts came out of the front of the smoke and dust at this moment, panting and rushing to the opposite side of Kang Lao's banner, "The people of the bones, the people of Mukun, and the people of the Red Fangs. There are eight hundred forward cavalry, and there are two brigades in the follow-up, so I can't get close, so I can't see how many there are! ”
"Get in the queue!" The old fox on the battlefield was another image, nodding, and the expression on his face was not shocked.
Scouts bypass their home formation and join the ranks at the end. The triangular array was static again, and the three Dinghai Divine Needles firmly stabilized the Wanli Hanhai.
The sand and dust slowly fell, revealing the rows of incoming enemies. Some, like the stalkers who appeared before, were wrapped in black arrowroot cloth all over their bodies, and only at the eye level, revealing a large dirty hole. Some of them are sandy yellow all over the body, and it is easy to blend in with the desert as long as they are a little farther away. There was also a group of men, with no cover on their heads, and their hair was covered with stones and bells of all kinds. While adjusting the formation, he opened his mouth and screamed. At the lips, the red dye mixed with saliva kept dripping down.
Maybe it's because they're tired from afar, or maybe it's because they haven't coordinated the order of battle with each other. When the three bandits from different clans arrived on the battlefield, they did not immediately attack. Instead, he stopped three hundred steps away from the place where Wang Xun and the others had formed a formation. After a while, a guy wrapped in a black robe stepped out of the formation, holding a flag decorated with a white ponytail on the top, and shouted a few words in the direction where Kang Lao was. Immediately, there was also a tribal warrior beside Kang Lao, holding a white horsetail flag, and walked face to face with the other party.
In front of the two armies, the two sides touched each other's flagpoles. Then, he muttered in a language that Wang Xun couldn't understand at all. Moments later, the two separated again and returned to their respective camps. Then, a soft horn sounded in the bandits' formation. "Woo-woo-woo-woo-"
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-" It was like two bison in heat calling to each other, and the people of Loulan responded with the same gentle horn sound. The enemy and our military formations separated again, and Kang Lao took two cronies and rode his horse to the center of the battlefield. The leader of the robbers also rode out, touched his chest with his hand, and greeted Kang Lao from afar.
"They, to negotiate. Kang Lao went out to perfunctory, you don't worry. Say good things before you do it! "I am afraid of causing misunderstanding between Wang Xun and others. Shi Huaiyi ran over from the other side of the team and explained loudly to the sons of the Central Plains.
"Salute first, then soldier!" A chuckle erupted from the Mo Dao array. For the alien companions beside them, they are full of trust in their hearts.
Shi Huaiyi also smiled with the same ease, waved the scimitar in his hand, and added in a low voice, "Your Chinese language is too complicated, I can't say it." But, but basically, that's basically what it means. This, this is the rule on our side! ”
As he spoke, Kang Lao and the bandit leader in the center of the battlefield had already begun to bargain. However, it is clear that one side bid too low, and the two sides cannot reach an agreement. As he spoke, the leader of the robbers in black robe became angry, suddenly took out a horizontal knife from his waist, and stretched it straight into the sky. "Woo, woo, woo, woo!" The countless handfuls behind him sounded again, this time without the slightest tenderness from before, but a naked threat.
The old fox Kang Zhongxin squinted his eyes and laughed, very low, but his voice was full of contempt. Stretching out his index finger, he first smiled and pointed to the sky above him, and then pointed to the desert under his feet. Turn the horse's head and slowly return to the team.
Unexpectedly, he smashed a heavy hammer into the air, and the bandit leader wrapped in a black robe was flustered and angry. The horizontal knife raised in mid-air trembled up and down, and tried to slash at the old fox's back several times, but in the end, it did not fall.
The Loulan warriors greeted the elders of their own families with unbridled laughter. There is no intention that the enemy is outnumbered. A few young people even followed the example of the old fox just now, and stretched out their fingers, first pointing to the sky, and then to the desert. The laughter was full of unadorned pride.
"Kang Lao just said that the sky can see it, and the desert can also see it." Shi Huaiyi whispered to Zhongyuan Erlang to translate. "So the people of Loulan can't betray their friends under the sun!"
Wang Xun smiled at him, and his heart was filled with warmth again. Unwilling to let the bandits on the other side continue to be arrogant, he suddenly pulled out the Mo knife from the sand, and then paused again, "Fight!" ”
"Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" One hundred and fifty-five Zhongyuan Erlang shouted in unison. In an instant, the horn was smashed to pieces. The robbers on the other side were furious and shouted loudly with their weapons raised. However, they shouted and shouted, but still none of the tribes rushed forward and proved their bravery with the blood of their enemies.
On the contrary, after the trumpet ceased, the robbers threw hundreds of horns and bones of wild beasts from the formation, and before the formation, a white bone deer was hastily piled up.
"There's something wrong with them!" Wang Xun smelled the conspiracy in his nostrils, turned his head, and discussed with a few brothers around him.
"Didn't the scouts just say that there were still people behind them? Anyway, we won't be able to run far, and when everyone is here, wouldn't they have a better chance of winning if we start a war again. Fang Ziling's battlefield feeling was as ignorant as his love feeling, and he didn't think about it at all.
His words immediately attracted several big eyes, and even Wei Feng, the leader of Minzhuang, who had not undergone any formal training, could clearly point out the crux of the problem, "Didn't Elder Kang say that the stone castle is only forty miles according to this?" If we light the wolf smoke, the defenders will definitely be able to kill them in two hours! ”
"But Kang Lao also said that the guards of the stone castle may turn a blind eye to the robbers and close one eye!" Fang Ziling lowered his neck and said to himself.
"A robber can't buy everybody. Later, once he saw that the matter of not being saved was revealed, Feng Daduhu would cut off his head! Elder Zhu glanced at him again and added in a deep voice.
"Then, then ......." Fang Ziling was still unconvinced, stammering to find a new explanation. Jiedu envoy has the power of life and death, even if there is no conclusive evidence, it is not a problem to cut off the head of a small fortress guard. After that, the imperial court must not even bother to ask. If the Stone Fort guard knew the exact date of the crossing of the baggage team, and still dared to stand still after seeing the wolf smoke asking for help, there was only one possibility, that is, he had no fear in his heart.
But in the territory of Anxi, who else is stronger than Feng Changqing? Fang Ziling searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he couldn't think of a definite answer for a long time.
Just when he was embarrassed, Wang Xun suddenly let out a long sigh. "Don't delay your efforts! Reinforcements won't come! ”
"What's wrong?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned at the same time and asked questions.
Without answering their words, Wang Xun directly began to assign tasks to everyone, "Old Wei, you take a few people to light the wolf smoke first." Xiao Fang, you go and invite Kang Lao and Xiao Shi over. Lao Zhu, you help the brothers inspect the armor and weapons. Tell the brothers to move your muscles and bones first. After a quarter of an hour, let's take the initiative! ”
