Chapter 300: The Horse Thief in Yanshan (4)

Seeing that Gruha led more than 300 horse thieves under his command, breaking away from the horse thief team and galloping towards the caravan, a cloud was not idle, waving his hand and leading the remaining horse thieves to slowly move towards the caravan, stopped two miles away from the caravan, and stopped to watch the progress of the battle.

"Mr. Gao, are these people really caravans?"

A cloud stared at the front, Gruha had already rushed in front of the caravan, and did not intend to attack the caravan directly, but suddenly turned less than three hundred paces away from the caravan, and galloped his horse thieves towards the north.

Gruha did not leave the battlefield, but quickly circled around the caravan, and the bow and arrow in the hand of the horse thief threw a rain of arrows from time to time, disrupting the caravan's formation, mainly to play a more deterrent role.

"A large caravan of six hundred people has been rare in recent years", a young man dressed as a scribe rode a horse to the side of a cloud, this person has a delicate face, and the surrounding horse thieves are incompatible, this person's name is Gao Miao, it is Mr. Gao in the mouth of a cloud: "Since last year, there have been fewer and fewer caravans on this grassland, and if this continues, I am afraid that this trade route will be abolished?" ”

Yiyun snorted coldly and said: "It's not that you are pressing too hard, without the caravan, there will be no soil for horse thieves to survive, this truth even ordinary horse thieves understand......."

"How...... You have grievances! Gao Miao said with sarcasm in his tone: "Don't forget your identity, fighting other caravans is also part of the plan, without other caravans, Liaodong is our world, what is less caravans." But...... It seems like there really is something wrong with this caravan? ”

"You see that?"

"Even a fool can see it!" Gao Miao snorted coldly and said: "This caravan is not weak in combat, seeing that we are not panicked at all, and want to form a formation to defend, it is just a fool's dream, take this caravan, we can rest for a few months!" ”

Seeing Gruha slowly approaching the caravan with his men, Yiyun suddenly had a very strange feeling, turned his head to Gao Miao and said, "Mr. Gao, how do I think this caravan is like an army, it won't be a trick to lure the enemy!" ”

"Nonsense! There is no movement at the border at all, don't be suspicious! ”

Gruha led his horse thieves around the caravan and found that the caravan showed no signs of panic, which was rare.

"Lean in and kill them all!"

After the initial temptation, the horse thief immediately changed the tactics of the attack and slowly moved closer to the caravan, three hundred steps ......, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps! The distance of the horse shooting is within one hundred and fifty paces, otherwise even if the rain of arrows thrown out can attack the opponent, the strength has become the end of the canopy and is easily blocked by the shield.

The distance between the horse thief and the caravan is getting closer and closer, Gruha can clearly see the other party's eyes, nose and eyebrows on the horse, and he does not see the slightest panic from the other party's face, the people in the caravan look extraordinarily young, with a little expectation and excitement on their faces, which makes Gruha feel very bad, but what is wrong with it, I can't say it for a while.

"Am you suspicious?"

The thought of the large amount of wealth in the caravan of six hundred people, and the fact that he had enough to squander it for a lifetime, made Gruha's blood boil at the thought of it.

"Prepare ......!"

The distance of 100 paces is only the blink of an eye for a war horse, as long as the guards on the outskirts of the caravan are overwhelmed, and with the horse thief's cavalry, Gruha believes that what follows is nothing more than a game of cat and mouse.

The distance between the horse thief and the caravan is getting closer and closer, the horse thief under the crotch neighsed, the horse thief on the horse raised the bow and arrow in his hand, turned to aim at the caravan, as long as the finger was loosened, the arrow on the bowstring would leave the string, such a battle was already commonplace for these horse thieves, and they didn't even need to hear Gruha's order to know when to shoot.

Gruha took the lead and ran at the front of the horse thief, the bow and arrow in his hand were already aimed at a caravan leader, he took a deep breath and stared at the caravan with his eyes, "Shoot!" ”

Before the shot in Gruha's mouth could be released, he felt the war horse under him suddenly stagnate, and a bone crack came from the war horse under him, and the huge inertia flew up with Gruha, "Not good!" ”

Gruha is worthy of being an old horse thief, in an instant, Gruha, who was abandoned high, has shrunk into a ball in the air, twisting his body in the air, the shield on his back slammed into the ground, and as soon as his body landed, he rolled forward a few times, and the bow and arrow in his hand did not know where it fell.

"Shoot!"

A roar suddenly came from the caravan, the sky darkened, and countless feathered arrows were thrown from the caravan, and Gruha's heart was cold.

Gruha, who was in great pain, didn't bother to check his injuries, reached out and took the shield from his back and held it above his head, looking back at the horse thief behind him, and instantly felt the urge to cry. Countless horse thieves behind him were thrown high, and the war horses under him broke their legs, fell to the ground, rolled a few times but could not stand up again.

"Trapped!"

Gruha's arm supporting the ground touched a small hole the thickness of a small leg, the hole was not very big, just enough to accommodate the hooves of the next war horse, such small holes can be seen everywhere on the ground, more so that Gruha's hair stands upside down, it is such a small hole that makes the war horse break the horse's hooves and lose the ability to run.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Gruha shouted, rolled to a horse thief covered with a rain of arrows, leaned close to the back of a war horse that fell to the ground and wailed, took the bow and arrow that fell from the ground, and just wanted to turn around and shoot an arrow, suddenly saw that the sky was dark again, and quickly raised the shield in his hand, "Tuk, tuk, tuk!" Several arrows fell from the sky and nailed to the shield in Gruha's hand.

"Arrows!"

Gruha's heart was cold, he was not an uninformed horse thief, on the contrary, a long time ago, when Gruha was a Tang Dynasty warrior, he knew the power of the arrow array. The other party did not start to release arrows until he was one hundred and fifty steps away, which showed that the bows and arrows in the hands of the caravan were not ordinary things, he threw arrows downwind, and the other party threw arrows against the wind, Gruha didn't dare to think about it, who dared to say that this caravan was not an army, Gruha immediately spat at him on his face, it was obvious that the other party was prepared this time, and it was likely that he was waiting for himself to take the bait.

"Fooled, run!"

Gruha reached out and picked up a shield from the ground and put it on his back, holding the shield in one hand, drawing a long knife in the other hand to shoot down the flying arrows one by one, and turned around and ran in the middle of the rain of arrows, his eyes full of despair and bitterness.
