The sentinels sent out returned in the evening, and the news they brought back was not very good.

There were more than 200 people in the whole tribe, of which women and children accounted for more than half, but there were nearly 100 men left, and many of them had war horses, and there were always two people who were fully armed and patrolling the camp.

However, this tribe is quite rich, there are more than a thousand cattle and sheep alone, and there are also forty or fifty war horses, and seventy or eighty horses. There were also many slaves on the outside and inside. These are the treasures of the whole tribe.

"If we all have weapons in our hands, maybe we can still fight. As long as we sneak up on them at night, we may be able to conquer them easily in a single battle. Sha Qianli looked into the distance and sighed.

"Don't be cranky, even if you have weapons, it's useless. They are no better than the small tribes, and I'm sure there are guards patrolling even at night, and if anyone comes near, they will be able to warn them at the first opportunity. Liu Jing interrupted Sha Qianli's reverie and pulled him back to reality.

"This time our enemy is stronger, we have to be mentally prepared." Bai Lijian said.

"How are you going to attack?"

"This is the first battle for our team and I want not just a win, but a big win. So we have to think a little bit more and prepare a little bit more. As for how to attack, I haven't completely figured it out yet. Wait, I'll give you a detailed battle plan to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

I waited from evening to dawn the next day. Before dawn came, the patrol officers were at their most relaxed.

Before dawn, there were still some starlight scattered over the grassland. Under the starlight, dozens of haystacks were moving forward at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon the haystack split into two groups, each moving in different directions.

One of the small haystacks was noticeably slower moving than the others, slowly approaching a hay pile in the darkness of the night. This is the hay that the herders store for their cattle and sheep in winter, and it has already been dried. At this moment, a small hand suddenly stretched out from the haystack, and a fire fold was still in his hand, and when the wind blew, a small flame jumped out, and the haystack was set on fire at once.

The small haystack quickly came back, and at this time the other haystacks had already entered the camp, and the two people in charge of patrolling would never have imagined that someone would actually crawl into the camp wearing a pile of grass.

The fire soon burst on, and the patrolmen found the haystack on fire and hurriedly shouted for fire. To their surprise, however, the tents were so quiet that it was as if they had not heard any shouting at all. The two patrol officers immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly drew their knives to be on guard.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and finally the tent, which was far away, woke up from its sleep at the sound of shouts and hurried over. These hay are the fruits of their hard work in the autumn, and they are also the guarantee for cattle and sheep to survive the winter. If it is burned by the fire, the winter days will be sad.

But when they put out the fire, they found that there were many fewer people than usual, and most of them were women, and there were very few men.

Just when everyone was still a little suspicious, a loud shout suddenly broke out in the camp: "Kill!" ”

Mangula's loud voice suddenly suppressed the firefighters in the camp, and just when they were stunned, the rest of the people stood up one after another, threw the straw clothes on their bodies, and surrounded the firefighters in the camp. At the same time, many unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in those tents, all holding a mess of weapons in their hands, and some even rushed out with a large iron pot in their hands.

It was only then that the people in the camp knew that they had been attacked, but they hurriedly came out to put out the fire, and they did not take their weapons at all, and it was obviously impossible to go back and get them at this time.

At this time, the two patrol officers became the only ones with weapons, and they were not vegetarians, and when they saw this situation, they stood in front of the crowd for the first time. But when they saw seven or eight men with bows and arrows standing in front of them, they did not dare to move. At such a close distance, with the good shooting of the steppe people, there is absolutely no possibility of deviation.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

A group of horse bandits shouted loudly after gaining the advantage according to Bai Lijian's orders.

The two patrolmen still wanted to insist, but the women and children behind them were not so good at concentration, and they hugged each other in fright, trembling all over.

At this moment, one of the patrolmen stood up and shouted, "I am the patriarch of this tribe, my name is Helanda, and I ask your leader to come out and speak!" ”

"It's useless to talk too much, you have been defeated, so don't make useless resistance, otherwise it will only hurt the lives of your relatives." Bai Lijian knew that he was too young to show his face in this kind of scene, so it was Liu Jing who stood up.

"We are defeated, but I am not convinced, we just want to live a good life, we don't want to participate in the war, is this also wrong?" Helanda said with a sad and indignant face.

"It's up to you, whether you want it or not, it's not up to the weak to decide."

"You're right!" Helanda nodded and said, "If we lose, we can only admit it, but I want to know, what is Lord Helan going to do with us?" ”

"Helan Oi?" Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I think you are mistaken, we are not Helan Ai's people." ”

"Huh?" Helanda was also surprised: "Then you are the people who act as kings?" The acting king called so soon? ”

"We used to be, but not anymore, we're horse bandits now!"

"Horse bandits? But our sentinels came back the day before yesterday and reported that you had not been exterminated by a tribe from the north? We're still preparing a big gift for that tribe these days, what's ......" Helanda looked even more surprised at this time.

"Haha......" everyone laughed. Ren Helanda would not have guessed that this group of horse bandits who were almost exterminated would be subdued by the people of the tribe, and they would turn around and continue to be horse bandits.

'Ahem'

Hearing the cough of Bai Lijian's reminder behind him, Liu Jing put away her smile and said seriously: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, put down your arms and surrender, I promise not to hurt anyone!" ”

"Hey!" Helanda sighed helplessly, threw the scimitar in his hand, and obviously accepted his fate.

With a wave of Liu Jing's hand, a group of people swarmed up and tied up the men separately, the women and children were herded into a large tent, and the rest went to other tents to tie up people.

It was only at this time that Bailijian's tense nerves were able to relax a little, and this risky sneak attack was a big victory with a small victory, and the most important thing was that there were no casualties in the whole process.
