Body 192 Ambush
Bai Suni looked at the firelight, as if he had forgotten what Li Hong had asked him just now, and after a long time, Bai Suni looked at Li Hong and said sincerely: "I hope Your Highness can take care of her, but it is already her blessing to be able to follow Her Highness."
"Dulicitous......." Li Hong's whole body was extremely comfortable by the firelight, and he stretched his waist.
Suddenly, the earth shook as if he had touched something because he had stretched his waist.
"What sound?" Ze Luo stood up suddenly, looking at the night in the distance.
From the actions just now, the whole person didn't see the slightest feeling of tiredness, not only that, but it even seemed to have a hint of excitement.
Bai Sunizhi's eyes also lit up, flashing a hint of hope, and he couldn't help but look sideways behind him with the shaking of the earth.
Li Hong's expression was cold, and no one needed to say that he knew that this was the tremor caused by the earth that the camel had trampled on after it had run.
At this moment, even the little wolf Bai Qi was vigilant, his bright eyes were spinning around, staring closely at the night ahead.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded over the camp, followed by a calm cold shout: "Alert......!" ”
Two hundred guards appeared around Li Hong silently and in full armor, armed with bows and crossbows, waist and crotch horizontal swords, and their black armor shimmered coldly in the light of the fire.
The murderous aura that rushed straight into Xiao Han shocked Bai Suni Zhi and Zeluo's hearts at the same time, these two hundred people must not be underestimated, looking at everyone's calm and fearless cheeks and cold and ruthless eyes, you can know that these two hundred people are definitely an iron-blooded master.
And Li Hong didn't glance in the direction of the source of the sound from the beginning to the present, but at some point, Li Hong had an extra horizontal knife in his hand, and he was slowly pulling out the sheath at this moment, and the cold blade flashed with a compelling cold light, which was particularly dazzling under the light of the fire.
"It is said that there is a group of robbers in the desert who use camels as mounts, because they have been robbing passing merchants on both sides of the Peacock River, so they are called the Peacock Bandits by the merchants who come and go, and we will not meet them today, right?" Li Hong was very calm, and the composure he showed was completely beyond his age.
This made Bai Sunizhi's eyes, which were originally full of a glimmer of light, suddenly dimmed a little.
Ze Luo looked at Li Hong stunned, he didn't believe that this prince of the Tang Dynasty, who was only a teenager, knew everything about the Western Regions, this peacock thief group, but the most mysterious thieves in the Western Regions, and few people knew their details until now.
"Should...... It should be, they come and go without a trace, they are vicious, not only robbing the goods of the merchants, sometimes they will also kill together with all the merchants, so although their names are beautiful, they are not easy to mess with at all, His Royal Highness the Prince, you run away, leave it to me to deal with it here. Zeluo listened to the deafening voice getting closer and closer, and his tone became more and more excited.
He knew better than anyone that the reason why this gang of thieves was able to come and go without a trace was because Loulan City and Tubo had been secretly sheltering them all along, and the goods they obtained were to be divided equally with Loulan or Tubo.
"Just you?" Li Hong squinted at him.
Ze Luo looked at Li Hong's casual glance, as if he was afraid of being seen through his thoughts, and hurriedly shifted his gaze and said, "Your Highness, they are not only ruthless, but more importantly, their number is huge, there are two thousand people. ”
Ze Luo excitedly forgot why he knew so clearly, this peacock thief group was a mysterious group of thieves in the Western Regions, but he could know it so clearly, it was difficult for people not to doubt it.
"Why do you know so well?" Li Hong stood up, Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue took out Li Hong's armor, and at this moment they were helping Li Hong take off his fur fur and put on the armor.
And everyone, including Xiaoxue, everyone's face is calm and natural, and they don't care.
It seemed that no one took the caravan that could already see the shadow of the camel for the first time.
The scabbard in Li Hong's hand was on his left waist, and then he took the bow and crossbow handed by Banmei and put it on his right waist.
As soon as Li Hong prepared himself, Hua Meng and Mangzhong appeared beside Li Hong in full armor, and then the four girls of Xia Zhi disappeared into the tent.
"Loulan has always been governed and governed by themselves, and the wind is not strong tonight, so just go in and take a look, tell lawlessness, and solve it quickly." Li Hong glanced at Bai Sunizhi, then looked at Zeluo, who didn't know why, smiled and continued: "The peacock is very beautiful, but it is this river, as for the thief, it will tarnish such a beautiful name as the Peacock River, so there is no need for them to exist." ”
"Do you think you can kill all the peacock bandits?" Ze Luo's face was unbelieving, and his expression was full of contempt at the moment.
Even Bai Sunizhi slowly stood up, and his family members hurriedly ran out of the tent, looking at the huge black clouds in the haze with panicked expressions.
The speed of the camel team is not fast, but if the whole two thousand camels run at full speed, the overwhelming power is also intimidating, a powerful oppressive force, like a black cloud pressing the realm, suppressing people breathless.
"Zeluo, your wishful thinking is about to come to naught, and you Bai Sunizhi, don't think I don't know, both of you are hoping that this camel team can save you. It's just that Bai Suni doesn't want to think about it, even if you are rescued by the Peacock Thieves, will you really be able to return to the country? Far water can't quench the thirst of the near. Li Hong took the reins handed over by Mangzhong, and then turned over and got on the horse.
At this time, the four women of the summer solstice in the tent also walked out of the tent in full armor, and everyone's equipment was the same as Li Hong's, with horizontal swords and crossbows, but they were not equipped with the horse lance that the Tang Dynasty had always configured.
"Ah...... Yes....... The screams suddenly sounded in the empty night sky, and the cavalry on Li Hong's side had not yet been dispatched.
"It's ......." Zeluo's face was a little pale, he was also an expert in the battle, and as soon as he heard this voice, and the noisy footsteps of the caravan that began to be a little chaotic, he knew that the caravan had been ambushed.
Li Hong's Iron Float is not a real Iron Float, but it is just a name for others, and in fact it has always been composed of 7,000 light cavalry.
The armament was the same as that of Li Hong, and it was also composed of horizontal swords and crossbows, and only a small number of people were equipped with horse lances for impact.
And this cavalry in the real sense is actually a reference to the combat equipment of the Mongolian cavalry.
When the cavalry of 1,000 people was set up in camp, there were already 100 people quietly hiding in the Suosuo bushes on both sides of the riverbank, which was designed by Li Hong when he was training Tiefutu, all in order to cope with the enemy's attack on the camp, so as to use a small number of people to stop the enemy's impact and buy time for the soldiers in the camp tent.
As the screams came out one after another, in the empty night, it suddenly became a little creepy, and the pungent smell of blood began to spread in the air.
"Prepare for a assault." The sound of inability seemed very abrupt in the night sky full of screams.
But it was more like a thunderbolt, the Iron Floating Tu, which had already been fully armed, formed a triangular formation at this moment, and suddenly bloomed in the night sky like thunder when the sound of the inability fell for about five breaths: "Kill!" ”
Suddenly, in the night sky not far in front of Li Hong and the others, arrows rained down, and the arrows pierced the night sky and made a breaking sound, which sounded extremely strange at the moment.
As the rain of arrows rained down on the camel caravan, the thieves on the camel caravan who were already panicked began to draw their bows and arrows at this time, and the range of their bows and arrows was far inferior to the bows and crossbows in the hands of the soldiers of the Iron Floating Slaughter.
When the second wave of shooting in the dark of night had ended, the arrows of the camel team fell limply on the ground in front of the front row of soldiers in the Iron Float.
"Shooting...... Impact. As soon as the word impact came out, he immediately raised the bow and crossbow in his hand, and the other three rows of cavalry behind him pulled the bow and crossbow machine, and then immediately rushed towards the camel team like lightning.
The departure of Wutian and the others made room and distance for the cavalry behind him to shoot, and the bow and crossbow were aimed at the camel team again, and there was another burst of shooting, and then, like Wutian just now, immediately rushed towards the camel team in two ways.
And as they approached the camel caravan, like the Mongol cavalry, relying on their flexible mobility, they instantly surrounded the chaotic camel caravan in the center, and the war horses swam with the chaos of the camel caravan, and the bow and crossbow were like eyes, shooting only the person in the middle of the hump, not the camel.
Each man was armed with sixty arrows, and nine hundred men roamed around the caravan, not in close contact with them, but kept shooting and shooting, and as the man on the hump fell to the ground, the hooves of the camels trampled on his master like hammers.
The screams and wails made the open space of the Peacock River seem to have suddenly become a region, and as the people in the middle of the camel team rushed out on camels, before they could get close to the Tiefutu crossbow soldiers who were wandering around, they were held behind them with a horse lance, and with lightning speed, they flew out from behind the crossbowmen like lightning, instantly piercing the hearts of the people on the hump.
With tacit tactics, clean and neat movements, elusive arrows, and ruthless and bloodthirsty horse lances, at this moment, as a combat method summed up in actual combat on the grassland, the camel team of 2,000 people suddenly lost its combat effectiveness.
Lawless looked at the camel caravan surrounded in the center, which was already too busy and scattered at this time, and then quickly hung the bow and crossbow to the right side of the horse's back, and the redesigned horizontal knife in his hand began to flash with a killing aura the moment it was unsheathed.
"Kill!"
As lawlessness and lawlessness roared at each other, it was as if a thunderclap had struck again in the night sky, and in an instant, the wolf-like Iron Floating Tu rushed into the camel caravan.
If you look closely at the horizontal knife in his hand, you will find that he has a little more arc, and his toughness is better than before, and every time the knife cuts through the air, it will bring out a handful of blood flowers, as if it is a cold winter night with snowflakes.
