Chapter XXVII

"Childe, it doesn't seem like we're in a good situation right now!" Liu Jing, who was sitting in the tent, said to Bai Lijian worriedly.

"Well, judging from the current situation, we can't act rashly for the time being, and try to avoid contact with them." Bai Lijian's complexion is not very good-looking, the living environment of Helan Mountain is not as easy as he thought before.

"But we can find out the specific strength of the two of them first."

"Then please sir!"

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll take care of it."

After Liu Jing left, Bailijian's heart always hanged. Bai Lijian knew that he had just arrived, and everything had to be careful, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, even if Mangula was guarding outside, he couldn't put his mind at ease. In the end, he was really relieved, and before waiting for dawn, Bai Lijian got up and took Mangula out to inspect.

Before dawn, there was a little unquiet in Helan Mountain, and there was a half-built fence around the camp, and the cattle and sheep inside barked twice from time to time, which caused other cattle and sheep to follow suit, and they could not be idle for a moment. From time to time, the roar of a wild beast could be heard in the mountains in the distance.

A flock of frightened birds suddenly flew in the mountains, and Bai Lijian stood in front of the gate that had just built a shell and looked out, his brows gradually locked. At this time, the gate was only made of a row of about three meters of wood, and the defense power was really not enough.

"Mangula, you go and call everyone up for me, so that everyone is ready for battle!" Baili Jian leaned into Mangula's ear and whispered.

Mangula widened his eyes and looked out, but he didn't see anything, and looked at Bailijian with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Bailijian would assign such a task.

Bai Lijian waved at him and told him to give orders.

Be careful that the defense of the valley is not done well, and now is the best time to attack. Once the defenses at the gate are built, it will be extremely costly to conquer it.

The mountains on both sides of the valley have long been equipped with guards in advance, and this is an excellent natural watchtower, which will immediately warn if something happens, and can also ensure that no one occupies the highest point and attacks the station from a high position.

Fifty horsemen were called out of their tents by the Mangula, all of them sleepy-eyed. Most of them have been tired for a day, and they were called up before they woke up, and the depression in their hearts can be imagined, and the looks on their faces are not good-looking.

"Enemy attack, everyone be ready to respond to the enemy!" Bai Lijian gave an order, and the cavalrymen who were sleepy-eyed just now suddenly cheered up one by one, and many of them still had excited looks on their faces.

A rocket swept across the sky, over the gate just three meters high, and landed inside the camp. A cavalryman next to him was about to step forward to extinguish the rocket, but was stopped by Bailijian.

"Hidden!" Bai Lijian ordered in a low voice, and he took the lead in hiding behind the stone wall next to him.

As soon as Bai Lijian's words fell, more than a dozen rockets flew in from outside. Before the rocket fell, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside, and it seemed that a large number of people were running.

With the faint light of the rocket that had not yet been extinguished, a group of people in tattered clothes appeared outside, quickly climbing towards the gate, and then jumped directly over the gate.

"Shoot the arrows!" Baili Jian saw the opportunity, and with an order, dozens of feather arrows flew out. The dozen or so people who had just landed suddenly turned into hedgehogs, and they fell directly with a scream.

The people behind were stunned for a moment when they heard the screams, but soon they involuntarily jumped down from above, because the people behind also followed.

"The shot on the left is in front of goal, the shot on the right is behind the goal!"

The cavalry under Bai Lijian are all good archers, and there is no possibility of missing at close range, and it is obviously a bit of a waste to shoot a dozen people with fifty arrows. So Bailijian hurriedly changed his strategy,

Soon, everyone who jumped in fell to the ground, and there were a few screams outside.

Two groups of people died in a row, and no one jumped in outside, but the rocket flew much faster than before. Not to be outdone, the cavalry returned to them with arrows in their hands, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

Bailijian called Mangula to his side and whispered a few words in his ear, and Mangula said yes and left in a hurry.

After a while, the neighing of war horses suddenly sounded behind the camp, and Bai Lijian hurriedly ordered the gate to be opened, which really startled everyone. However, the capable horse bandits are not a good thing, they are never afraid of a head-to-head duel, and they are even a little excited.

The gate creaked open, and the people outside saw the suddenly opened gate, and before they could react for a while, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

"Kill!"

By the dim morning light, dozens of heavily armed cavalry came out of the camp, and the enemy, who had been rushing to rush in through the wide open gate, panicked and turned and ran backwards without a life. It's a pity that there is a long and narrow valley in front of the gate, and at the speed of two legs, how can it be possible to run past a four-legged war horse, and in a few breaths it is chased and killed by the cavalry, and the knife in his hand falls to the ground.

The cavalry charged ahead, while Bailijian followed behind with the rest of the men to clean up the pieces. Anyone who tried to resist a little was mercilessly killed. Bailijian is very short of people now, but not everyone wants it.

When Bailijian led the people to chase all the way to the mouth of the valley, the cavalry had long since disappeared, leaving only dozens of trembling captives on their knees behind them, except for the corpses left behind.

Bailijian didn't care about the cavalry who rushed out, with the barbarian gula, he chased and killed the defeated soldiers all the way, and he didn't have to worry about their safety at all, and the most important thing now was to clean up the battlefield so as not to bring plague to the camp.

Everyone is very skilled in cleaning the battlefield, but they will not let go of anything useful, but the people who attacked this time seem to be very poor, except for a dozen pairs of bows and arrows and four or five knives, there is nothing left, most of them are holding sharpened branches or simply empty-handed.

The corpses on the ground were handed over to the captives to carry and burn, which was the quickest and safest way. Although this approach is incomprehensible to many people, but now that Bailijian's authority is growing, and it does not touch their interests, no one has said much.

The matter of cleaning up the battlefield was in the responsibility of the people below, and Bai Lijian was interrogating some of the prisoners with Liu Jing at this time, wanting to know who was attacking this time.
