Chapter 162: Winter and Summer Ice—3

At the foot of Maiji Mountain, two groups of people and horses were looking at each other angrily, swords facing each other. One of them was dressed in black and masked, apparently not wanting to be known, while the other was well-swords, well-armed and surrounded by goods they were caravanaling, apparently passing through the area.

The two sides had not seen any decent verbal exchange, so they brandished their respective weapons and rushed towards each other. The bandits were all flying and obviously very familiar with mountain warfare, while the Shandong team sent more than 20 samurai to meet them, and the others arranged the carts pulling goods into a circle formation, with pikemen in charge of melee combat and archers in charge of long-range attacks, forming a round chariot formation that is currently very popular in Liangzhou.

On each of their flanks a troop of forty or fifty light cavalry roamed. One of them was armed with a lance, with a bow and arrows slung over his shoulder, and an arrow honestly in his quiver. The other, throwing away his horseman, picked up his longbow and put it on his arrows, shooting it like a masked man rushing at him.

There were a few popping sounds, and nearly one-sixth of the nine masked people fell. But the people of the Quality Supervision Bureau were not affected, and they continued to sprint forward, while more masked men emerged from the ambush on the mountain, and their numbers clearly exceeded the caravan's earliest estimates.

However, the caravan did not panic because of this. They have ample manpower to deal with the crisis ahead.

This IQ is much larger than that of a caravan of the same level, because they have to escort not only the goods of the Weishui Company, but also several important people, including Jia Xu.

Jia Xu originally studied business administration at Hanyang University, of course, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, few people explained economics as a science, so this major has been very lacking in teachers since its inception.

Therefore, Jia Xu, who still wants to insist on being a rich man at home, can only change to the soon-to-be-established Wuwei University. However, he didn't expect that he would be ambushed on the way. This made him feel more and more that even in the familiar territory of Liangzhou, he could not guarantee his personal safety, and if he wanted to be a rich man at home, he would have to face strongmen who robbed homes everywhere after all.

It seems that he is going to be involved in the coming troubled times after all, if he is not strong enough to rely on her, then he is a weak scholar and will not be able to gain a foothold in this troubled world.

Fortunately, Suning's thigh is thick enough, and he can transform from a university student to Suning's first strategist at any time.

Of course, this process is best started as soon as possible, because there are more and more people under Suning, and his senior brothers have begun to grasp various important positions within the company, including Agricola, who is traveling with him.

The reason why Suning was able to achieve that big victory depends on the application of gunpowder, although the gunpowder you make now is still very simple, and it is impossible to even reach the standard proportion of black powder, but as long as this guy exists, metallurgy cannot be a problem for Suning's Weishui Group.

Fortunately, their understanding of the Eastern Han Dynasty is still very limited, and at the same time, their profession is also destined to make it impossible for them to be too far ahead of Jia Xu in planning.

But it is undeniable that there are always one or two talents who can completely match Jia Xu in terms of strategy.

For example, this time he also went with him to Aetius in Wuwei County.

The protector of the surrounding Roman Empire, as a hostage in his youth, exchanged with Attila to the other party's country, and later after he returned to his homeland, he personally led a large army to stop Attila's invasion of the Roman Empire.

His cavalry tactics shone in the darkness of the Middle Ages, and today, he will recreate his invincible scenery in the chaotic late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Compared to the arrangement of troops, Jia Xu's assets are far inferior to this guy, since the departure, the actual command of this caravan escort is in his hands, and the two robberies along the way were easily defeated by him. And this time, he was even more confident, because Attila, who had a close relationship with him in his previous life, had already received news that he would meet him 30 miles northwest of Maijishan.

He knew that the Huns liked to spread their lag far away, and the reconnaissance range of 30 miles was not too large, Attila must have noticed what was happening here, and his main force might be on the way here, which meant that these black-clothed men in front of him were not afraid at all. The only thing to worry about is the woman who is currently leading the infantry to fight the other side, and it is better not to die at the hands of the other party.

Jia Xu was looking at the figure who was fighting in the distance. From the point of view of his figure, his waist muscles are too thick, and the size of his silhouette looks no different from that of a man, while his arms are very advantageous, even if he is a weapon of more than twenty pounds, he can wield it with ease.

In just a few moments, several people had already fallen under his long knife. Jia Xu can see that those people's kung fu is definitely not reckless, but has been systematically trained, at least it is also the general of some families.

He didn't know who Suning had offended, and he didn't know which of these people wanted to rob them halfway, he only knew that the calculation of this group of people was in vain, because they met a tigress.

It's just that this tigress is said to have a very shallow relationship with the big boss, big, the boss not only personally taught his younger brother Wuhu Broken Door Gun, but also took his other two younger brothers with him to cultivate them personally. Even such small things as enlightenment education are done by him himself.

There is a saying that this is because the big boss doesn't want them to go to Hou Cheng for revenge, because Hou Cheng is still the right hand of the big boss, at least he performed well in the previous battle, and his magical swordsmanship is even more successful, making the enemy almost terrified.

However, this statement is too far-fetched in Jia Xu's opinion, and now Suning's number of old friends has surpassed Liang Hu, even if he is allowed to be a state assassin, there will be no shortage of talents under him. In this way, do you still need to protect Hou Cheng, a third-rate talent in martial arts?

Rather than saying this, it is better to say that the big boss felt guilty for not saving Xia Ping at that time, however, Xia Ping was not a subordinate of the big boss at that time, and the big boss had no obligation to save a person who had nothing to do with him, so how can he talk about guilt?

After ruling out the above two possibilities, the rest of the explanation clearly shows the relationship between the tigress and the big boss.

Of course, this delicate relationship has not yet been clarified at this time, for the old and spicy essence and smart Jia Xu, the nature of this relationship can only be described in four words, that is, it cannot be said!
