Chapter 5 Rejection of the Enemy

A group of five people hurried overnight, because they no longer had to find their way, and returned to the camp at noon the next day.

In a daze, the sound of horses' hooves woke Bailijian up. Bai Lijian hurriedly got up, and rushed outside to see that a row of horse bandits appeared on the hillside in the distance, and they were speeding towards the camp.

The camp was quiet at this time, only thirty sturdy women and the remaining men who could draw their bows and arrows, led by Uncle Zhuo Gang, quietly stayed behind the two rows of horse rejection stakes, waiting for the horse bandits to enter the firing range.

Seeing this scene, Bai Lijian's heart also relaxed. The defensive arrangement of the camp Bai Lijian had discussed with Uncle Zhuo Gang a long time ago, and when he saw the layout in front of him, Bai Lijian knew that Uncle Zhuo Gang had completely arranged it according to his previous plan.

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, Bailijian has done everything he can, and then he can only resign himself to fate.

'Woo...... Woo ......'

The horse bandits let out an excited roar, and the sentry they sent out yesterday in the camp in front of them had already discovered it, especially when they knew that there were only a few men inside, and the rest were all women and children, they were even more carried away. Before their eyes was a lamb to the slaughter.

The bandits rushed down the hillside, increasing in speed and speed, and in a blink of an eye they came to the outskirts of the camp.

Suddenly, some of the horses in the galloping horse team limped their front hooves and fell down, and even the horse bandits on horseback also fell down, rolling on the grass for a few times, and then the whole person bounced up violently, jumped a few times on the ground, and fell down again.

The sudden change made the rest of the horse bandits panic, but at this time, the speed of the horse was close to the extreme, and it was impossible to stop. So along the way, people kept planting horses. In a few breaths, seventeen or eighteen people fell to the ground.

Uncle Zhuo Gang held a strong bow tightly in his hand, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his face was immediately flushed, and he shouted excitedly: "Ready!" ”

Hearing Uncle Zhuo Gang's order, the women and men who were originally stunned by the scene in front of them all came back to their senses, and the bows and arrows that had been prepared in their hands were raised one after another.

"Put!"

Uncle Zhuo Gang gave an order, and more than 30 arrows flew out immediately. Although the bow and arrow flew far and near, there was still momentum, and three or four unlucky ghosts were shot and planted on their horses.

"Don't be stunned, keep preparing!"

Uncle Zhuo Gang saw that the first round of arrows was not effective, so he hurriedly scolded everyone to reload the arrows.

"Shoot!"

The second round of arrows was not as neat as the first round, and the other people's arrows had already been shot, and many of them had not even loaded their arrows. However, because it was already very close at this time, the results were better than in the first round, and six or seven people fell.

"Throw away all your bows and get ready for battle!" Uncle Zhuo Gang commanded calmly.

After the baptism of traps and two rounds of arrow rain, there were only a dozen horse bandits left who could rush to the front of the horse rejection pile. The horse bandits never thought that the camp in front of them, which only had old and weak women and children, would burst out with such strong combat effectiveness, and their morale was extremely low for a while, and a few timid people even thought about bypassing the front of the camp and sneaking up on the side, but they were all planted in the trap.

"Kill me!" The only remaining horse bandit was about to despair at this time, and the angry horse bandit leader Sha Qianli roared angrily, and was about to jump over the horse rejection pile while riding the horse, but he didn't expect the horse sitting down to suddenly weaken his feet and fall headlong. The rest of the bandits also fell to the ground.

I saw a long rope suddenly emerge in front of the horse rejection stake, and the horse tripped to the ground.

"Up, catch them!" Uncle Zhuo Gang saw that the opportunity was rare, and a group of people rushed forward with spears in hand.

It is said that it is a spear, but in fact it is just a few relatively long branches, one of which has been sharpened. The lack of iron on the steppe naturally does not equip real spearheads, and even these spears are a temporary idea of Bailijian according to the situation in the camp.

But anyone who dares to underestimate the power of these spears is very wrong. The spearheads of these spears have been soaked in the venom of the aconitum head, and once stabbed, they will immediately lose their combat effectiveness.

Few of the fallen bandits were able to stand up at this time. Soon, except for Sha Qianli, who was wearing armor, he still had a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and the rest had lost their combat effectiveness.

"Sha Qianli, don't surrender yet!" Uncle Tu Mu held a scimitar and pointed at Sha Qianli and shouted.

Now, although his own side has the advantage in numbers, Sha Qianli's equipment is very good, and those wooden sticks that only sharpen their heads can't hurt him at all.

Sha Qianli looked around, and found that all his subordinates had fallen to the ground and groaned, some of them had simply stopped moving, and his face suddenly turned pale, and his hand holding the scimitar trembled.

"You ...... You ......"

Sha Qianli hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, throwing the scimitar in his hand, "I admit defeat!" ”

"Won...... We won......" The excitement soon spread throughout the camp.

"Tie him up and the rest of the men go clean up the battlefield!" Uncle Zhuo Gang commanded everyone with great skill.

Bai Lijian took the opportunity to sneak to Uncle Tumu's side, pointed in the direction where the horse bandits came, and said in a low voice: "Those cattle and sheep~"

Tu Mu's eyes lit up, he slapped his head, and hurriedly ran to Uncle Zhuo Gang and whispered. Uncle Zhuo Gang was also very excited, and immediately gathered more than a dozen people, led by Tu Mu, rode on the war horse that had just been captured, and galloped in the direction where the horse bandits came.

After some counting, there were forty-two horse bandits in total, one of whom surrendered, thirty-two were wounded and captured, and seven of the remaining nine were unlucky enough to die under the bow and arrow, and two were trampled to death by panicked horses.

As for the seizures, they were very rich, there were forty-two war horses alone, but twenty-six were lightly wounded, and seven were seriously wounded, so they could only be killed for food. There were also twenty-five scimitars, ten bows and arrows, one hundred and fifty arrows, and twenty spears, and they were real spears with iron heads. There were also some saddle harnesses and other bits and pieces seized, which directly increased the wealth of the tribe.

However, when the harvest was abundant, the tribe also suffered a lot of losses, including five wounded and two killed, which somewhat poured some cold water on the nerves of everyone's excitement.

Uncle Zhuo Gang was busy counting the spoils, Nayiza was comforting the families of the war dead, and the others were busy tying up the prisoners, only Bai Lijian had nothing to do.

Bai Lijian, who had nothing to do, came to Sha Qianli, who was tied up like a dumpling, and looked curiously at the horse bandit leader in front of him.
