Chapter 2: Sharpening the Edge (Mikami)

In such an empty wilderness, the sight of prey is easy to spot. Not long after coercing a few colleagues who came to help the boxer to sign the alliance under the city, the cheers of the minions came from the front of the team.

"Whew!" "Whew!" The horse thieves howled loudly like wolves, and then quickly assumed an attacking stance. Sheep are fat, not fat! As far as the eye can see, there are probably no less than 2,000 camels carrying the goods. What was even more heartening to the thieves was that the greedy merchants, instead of taking advantage of the fact that they were not on the safe footing, had mistakenly driven the camels to the periphery of the procession and curled up in a ball.

This is undoubtedly a very stupid strategy. If the merchants left some of their goods and ran away, it would be difficult for the thieves to chase after them because of their greed. So at most, some of the caravan's cargo will be intercepted, and the rest will have to be left to their escape. And once the caravan shrinks into a group, try to resist stubbornly. The two conveniences are left with only a never-ending ending. Either the horse thieves retreated because the price was too heavy. Either the swordsmen hired by the caravan were killed along with the merchants, and all the goods fell into the hands of the horse thieves.

Seeing that everything was going in the direction he wanted, Arslan was in a very uplifted mood, cleared his throat, and commanded loudly,

"Pass on the order of the governor of Bendu, no attack, first hit the human wall, and surround the sheep!"

"The big boss has an order, no attack, hit the human wall first, and surround the sheep!"

"The big boss has an order, no attack, hit the human wall first, and surround the sheep!"

The fortune was imminent, and the soldiers were also very happy, and they tore their throats and passed on Arslan's general order like a stream.

When Bantianyun's second master Mintu and third master Hagen heard this, they immediately led their respective descendants to the left and right sides of the caravan. The dog-headed military advisor Mu Yangren also shook his spirits, leading more than a hundred young minions who were close to him to the back of the caravan. Once the encirclement is formed, it is the moment when the general offensive begins. Arslan waved his horsewhip a few times in satisfaction, and looked his head at his peers on the left and right, "Hmm.......! ”。

He suddenly felt as if he had been stung by a bee, and his two broom brows wrinkled tightly into a pimple. As he expected in advance, the people and horses on the right side of the team were restless, obviously unwilling to let most of the "mutton" be taken away by others, and were ready to take the lead. But the two teams on the left side of the team, a handful of sand and snow beating, were too quiet, and the silence was a little frightening.

"What are they going to do?" With an instinct formed over the years of rolling on the tip of a knife, Arslan smelled a hint of conspiracy. At present, his team has been divided into four parts, and although he still accounts for the majority of the people who stay with his family, there are only eight or nine hundred people. If a handful of sand and snow are wang, the two of them take this opportunity to turn back......

"Order, let the second and third children withdraw quickly. The position on the north and south sides is left to the old north wind and a handful of sand for them! Immediately decided, Arslan yelled to his cronies, "Quick, blow the horn, blow the horn, let the second, third and military advisors gather the team for me!" ”

"What did you say, big boss?" The pro-soldier Ma Liu and the others couldn't believe their ears, and confirmed with straight eyes. Arslan's order just now does not make sense at all. It is easy for everyone to turn an order into a horn, but once they understand the wrong intentions of the big boss, I am afraid that it will not be a matter of forgiveness with a whip. If you don't get it right, even the head and melon seeds have to be cut off and picked on the tip of the gun!

"Gather the team, herald. All of you are coming to me! Arslan didn't have time to explain to the group of fools under his command, and shouted angrily. Succumbing to his usual obscenity, the herald hurriedly grabbed a trumpet and blew it vigorously.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!" The disappointing sound of horns came from the Chinese army and quickly resounded throughout the wilderness. "What is the big boss doing?" "What's wrong with the big boss today?" Mintu and Hagen, the second master, who had already run more than half a mile, grabbed their mounts and looked back hesitantly. First of all, he didn't allow his brothers to rob his own brothers with a good head work, so he had to take care of Lao Beifeng and a few other outsiders. Now he pulled the team back in the middle of the attack, preparing to let the caravan survive. Crazy, could it be that when he indulged in lust last night, his head was planted on the ground?

"Knock knock knock!" Before they could decide whether to accept the chaos from behind, a fierce drum beat suddenly sounded in the caravan not far away. Accompanied by a thunderous melody, a golden rod was erected high on the camel's back.

"Don!" Scarlet Chinese characters dance up and down with the flag.

The camels that were clinging to each other were suddenly pulled apart, and a dark golden torrent poured out from the sound of war drums. Golden helmets, golden armor, dark gold battle flags. Rows of horses point straight ahead, like stars in the Milky Way.

"Knock knock knock knock knock!" The golden torrent was not surging very fast, but the indomitable momentum made all the horse thieves lose their masters. There were only five people in the first row, three feet apart from each other. There were six people in the second row, and in the process of sprinting, they were about two feet away from the robe in front of them, and they were half a body staggered. The golden-armored warriors who rushed out of the third row were one more person than the second row, still two feet away from the front row of robes, staggering half of their bodies. Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh......

Just as the horse thieves were in a hurry at the sudden change, nearly ten rows of golden-armored warriors had poured out from the depths of the camel caravan, each with a long lance in their hands, and the blade reflected a dazzling cold light.

“**！” Arslan heard his own voice, which had changed his tune, and he didn't know whether he should rejoice or curse. is a big fat sheep, after eating it in the stomach, it is enough for him to accumulate the capital in the river. But the premise of all this is that he can be a real wolf, not a handful of grass for sheep.

There wasn't much time left for him to react correctly, and after a little hesitation, he was completely lost. The ** who came out from behind the camel team rushed faster and faster, and in an instant, he had already made contact with the second master Mintu, who was in a mess. As the sun shines on the snow, Arslan can imagine how quickly the second master Mintu's department will be defeated. "Bang!" The horse thieves who came into contact with ** in the first row didn't even have a full parry posture, and were knocked out of the saddle by the other party with a lance. More than eight feet long, the thick and thin lance of the bowl bends into an arc like a bow arm at the moment of contact with the human body, and then, the dragon swings its tail. The power generated by the charge of the war horse and the power generated by the collision between the two sides converged again and were released from the middle of the lance straight to the lance. "Zheng!" "Zheng!" "Zheng!" , the crisp sound is endless. One by one, the horse thieves flew up and into the sky. Screaming, circling, and falling helplessly to the ground. The horses that rushed towards him were trampled under their hooves and trampled into a mass of flesh.

The five Tang people who rushed to the front slowed down slightly, but they still caught up with the other horse thieves who couldn't dodge. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Zheng! "Zheng!" "Zheng!" , the dull sound of crashing and the crisp sound of the lance bouncing off alternately, and five more corpses fell to the ground. The team of the second leader Mintu was knocked into a big pit in a blink of an eye, and blood gushed like a spring.

When the lance bounced off for the third time, the mounts of the five Tang people who were charging at the front finally slowed down. However, behind them, the other six ** have already been killed. With the speed of the war horse's running, he crashed into the deep blood depression smashed out by the front row of robes in the enemy formation, "Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!" , like a storm crashing on the shore, turning the blood concave into a bloody hole in an instant, and expanding into a bloodletting groove that can never be bridged in the blink of an eye.

The speed of the second row ** was slowed down by the corpses, and the third row ** arrived. It's still the same position, it's the same rhythm. The blood tank continued to expand, expand, and completely tear it into a trench.

Fourth Row ......

No need for the fourth row. Before the seven ** in the third row finished unleashing their combat power, the second leader Mintu and the horse thieves under his command were already gone. Without anyone's order, they scrambled to turn their mounts and run away from the **. The other team that hastily withdrew to support, the headquarters of the three masters, Hagen, rushed to the ground.

However, the attack continues. As if they had been rehearsed countless times beforehand, rows after rows rushed up, catching up with the fleeing horse thieves from behind and picking them into the air. Then row after row accelerated, like a stacked wave, clearing all obstacles along the way.

"It's over! It's completely over! Arslan, who was standing in the middle of the camp to control the whole situation, seemed to be frightened and stupid, and witnessed the rout of the second leader Mintu and the third leader Hagen in a daze, and did not give any correct orders. The coveted prey in everyone's imagination is not a fat sheep at all! It's just that it's so well camouflaged, so realistic. It wasn't until it showed its fangs that it was discovered to be a lion.

At this point, the only thing that was clear to Arslan was that Kuche Nose had dug a huge trap for himself to jump into. The true identity of the caravan must have been known to the caravan for a long time. Therefore, he spared no expense to buy off Bantianyun and pushed everyone to the fire. There is no doubt that when he led a group of horse thieves to exhaust the Tang people, he would jump out with the soldiers of the country. One by one, the two sides who had been desperate before were killed cleanly.

"Big boss, big boss. What to do? What to do? What a word! What a word! "At the moment of crisis, the pro-soldier Ma Liu'er is more calm than Arslan. Seeing that his leader's eyes were straight, he quickly shook him a few times and shouted loudly!

"What, what to do? What to do? Arslan muttered in response. He had plenty of experience in dealing with merchants on the Silk Road. However, fighting with the officers and soldiers, he had no clue at all. The opponent's attack was too sharp, sharp to the point that it was impossible to stop. Arslan had just clearly seen that Hagen, the third leader, stabilized the team several times, trying to interrupt the opponent's attack rhythm with the advantage of numbers. But all efforts were in vain, and in the face of the absolute disparity in combat effectiveness, the brothers were simply seeking their own death.

Inspired by Hagen, the three masters, dozens of brothers who were known for their fierceness turned around and rushed into the yellow torrent like moths to a fire. But before it even bubbled, it was thrown into the sky. Red blood splattered in the sky, and the sun overhead was dyed with brilliance. Even more dazzling than the sun was the battle flag raised by the enemy.

"Tang" is blazing like fire, and pride is like fire.

"The most important thing at the moment is, of course, to be stable. There were only more than two hundred Tang people rushing head-on. And on our side, there are more than 2,000 brothers in total! "Ma Liu'er was completely anxious, risking being settled by the Arslan Autumn Queen, and overstepping his behalf." Order, you hurry up and give orders. Let the old north wind and a handful of sand all lean over and lean to you. Let's form a circle and consume the Tang people to death! ”

"Transmit, herald. Everyone, lean towards me, draw closer to me! Circle formation, circle formation! Arslan first agreed, and then all his spirits returned to his body. Deliver the order and form a circle to meet the enemy. Everyone is fighting with Tang Kou! ”

"Circle Formation. Everyone is moving closer to the big boss! ”

"Circle Formation. Everyone is moving closer to the big boss! ”

The soldiers tore their throats again and passed the order on. Immediately, there was a panicked trumpet. The horse thieves, who had been in a mess, finally had a backbone, and they all instigated their mounts, and the ants crowded towards Arslan's location. The horse thieves such as Lao Beifeng and Upside Down Willow, who were blinded by the sudden change, also regained their morale and slowly moved closer to Arslan's department.

If a circle is formed, there may not be no chance of a turnaround. At least, he can survive until he arrives and drags the Tang people to hell with him. Viciously glancing at the ** who had broken through all the obstacles and was about to rush to the edge of the formation, Arslan gritted his teeth, "Fight with them." , killed Tang Kou, all the savings in the stockade, everyone shared equally! ”

"Deuce!" "Deuce!" The horse thieves made a loud noise and cheered themselves up. However, **'s attack power is just too strong, a hundred times stronger than all the teams they've seen before. The second master Mintu didn't wait to withdraw from the formation, but he was caught up by ** and stabbed his mount from behind. Hagen, the third master, tried to block the footsteps of ** several times and won the opportunity to change the formation for the big boss. But he put all the power in his hand into it, and then he was also shot off the war horse by a cold arrow, and his life and death were uncertain.

This yellow torrent that appeared out of thin air was not at all something that could be stopped by manpower. Seeing that ** was getting closer and closer, and getting closer and closer, Arslan's team that had just stabilized began to shake again. The minions on the outermost part of the circle squeezed desperately inside, and the horse thieves inside the circle had to aim the tips of their knives at the backs of their accomplices in order to save their lives. And the two teams of a handful of sand and snow were even more damaged, and they actually went around to the back of the circle silently, ready to slip away at any time.

"Don't squeeze, follow me!" At the critical moment, Arslan was also forced to be a little ruthless. turned around and shouted to Huang Wanshan and Sha Qianli. "Lao Tzu led people to go up first. Lao Sha, Lao Huang, Sejirahu, a few of you look at it! ”

"Shoulder to shoulder!" The leader of the old north wind, Sejirahu, and the leader of the uprooted willow, Hua Thirteen, were both aroused a little bloody, and responded loudly with a scimitar brandish, "Go up together, pile them to death!" ”

Sha Qianli looked at Huang Wanshan, and then at the word "Tang" that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly grinned. "Let's go together, brethren!" He shouted loudly, and the steel knife in his hand slashed diagonally, splitting the leader of the horse thieves who was closest to him belonging to Bantianyun into two pieces with one sword.

"Brothers, pull up our flags!" Huang Wanshan followed closely behind Sha Qianli, and shouted loudly while riding his horse forward.

"Pull up our flags!"

"Pull it up!"

Amid the deafening cheers, there was a battered battle flag, pulled high behind the horse thieves.

"Don!" The Chinese characters, which were so old that they could barely be seen in color, burned everyone's eyes like flames at this moment.
