Chapter 53: The Deer Park Tribe is Killed

It was already dark, and the caravan had not yet reached its intended destination.

Because of the weather, it was pitch black when it got dark. The horses are better and can take the black road. But people can't do it, they can't see the road at all, they are one foot high and one foot low, and sometimes they will fall. And also! Horse-drawn carriages were also often stuck in places where they could not walk. If you don't find it in time to push, you will stop the carriage that follows, and the caravan will come to a halt.

There was an even more troublesome matter, and that was the nearly three hundred horses. They seem to be very dishonest after dark, and they run away from time to time. If it weren't for Uncle Wu, it would be really difficult to control them.

In desperation! Snow Lotus had no choice but to let the caravan light the torches and move on. Other than that! To prevent a sneak attack by the Yiqu people or robbers, the caravan men were ready for battle and had their weapons in their hands.

To know! Under the reflection of the torch, it will form a state of "darkness under the lamp", you can't see the enemy in the dark, but the enemy can see you clearly, the real one: I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark. This situation is very dangerous, and if the enemy sneaks up on you, the casualties will be very heavy.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too dark, if there was moonlight, the caravan would not have lit torches at night. Lighting a torch is just as easy as lighting a bonfire, and it is easy to attract the attention of robbers on the steppe.

For safety, the one-clawed beast and the others did not light the torches, and they did not walk in the caravan. But! Stay away from the fire, walk in the darkness, and observe your surroundings.

If you are under the light of torches, you will not be able to see clearly in the dark, and even if the enemy runs in front of you, you will not be able to see it.

So! Someone has to be in the dark and observe what is going on in the dark.

After the caravan lit the torches, it was like a fire dragon, wandering on the prairie. From a distance, the formation was quite spectacular.

Snow Lotus originally wanted to send a sister to the Deer Park tribe to report the news first, but after thinking about it, forget it. Anyway, it will arrive in the evening, and tomorrow I will visit the tribal leader, so there is no need to go early. Furthermore! She also didn't worry about her sisters going alone, for fear of accidents.

This is not! I just fought two battles with the Yiqu people, who knows if there are any Yiqu people who take the opportunity to seek revenge on the way?

And also! Did anything happen to the Deer Park tribe?

The world is unpredictable! Who knows if today's Deer Park tribal leader is still a "godfather"? What if the tribe is in civil strife and is controlled by a change that covets their sisters?

After comprehensive consideration, Snow Lotus did not send someone to inform the Deer Park tribe first.

The caravan lit the torches and walked for nearly an hour before they saw the lights of the Deer Park tribe in the distance. When they finally arrived at the residence of the Deer Park tribe, everyone's hearts were relieved and they seemed very excited.

There was still some way to go to where Snow Lotus had booked to camp, but everyone didn't feel tired. The psychological tension is gone, and I feel relaxed all over.

It was also at this time that there was really a situation on the side of the Deer Park tribe.

A few people in the deer park who were walking at night suddenly found a long line coming, and the torches were all red, as if they were scared of something. They thought: The Yiqu people are coming.

The caravan's killing of Prince Lanzhu of Yiqu had already been spread by the fleeing Yiqu people, and they heard about it. Knowing that the Blue Bead Prince was killed by Snow Lotus's caravan, the people of Deer Park were both excited and sweating for Snow Lotus, and they were also worried about their Deer Park tribe.

They know how powerful King Yiqu is, Prince Lanzhu was killed, and it is strange that King Yiqu does not come to retaliate? That's what they were worried about: Prince Lanzhu was killed by Snow Lotus's caravan in the territory of the Deer Park Tribe, and with the relationship between the Deer Park Tribe and Snow Lotus, it was difficult to justify King Yiqu if he didn't come to retaliate.

King Yiqu not only wants to kill Xuelian and others to avenge Prince Lanzhu, but also wants to find trouble with the Deer Park tribe.

"Prince Lanzhu was killed in the territory of your Deer Park tribe! Can you shirk your responsibilities? We are clear about your relationship with the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Did you collaborate with Snow Lotus's people to kill Prince Lanzhu? ”

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

If people want to trouble you, they can find a reason.

After these people who walked at night calmed down, they still had the courage to come over to check what was going on. Outcome! Before they got closer, they saw the light of weapons shining in the ranks under the light of torches. Before they could take a closer look, they saw someone riding in the darkness. Other than that! There seemed to be the rustle of countless horses on the ground.

Seeing someone coming, these people were even more frightened, I don't know how many people are hidden in the dark?

In order not to startle the snake, these people who walked at night hurriedly ran back to the tribe to report the news.

"Oh no! Oh no! The Yiqu people have been killed! The Yiqu people have been killed! ……”

Suddenly! The people in the deer park, who were already nervous, were so frightened that the ghosts cried wolves.

When the men of the Deer Park tribe heard that the Yiqu people had killed them, they took up their weapons without thinking and rushed into the house, ready to fight. When the women of the Luyuan tribe heard that the Yiqu people had been killed, they quickly woke up their sleeping children and hid the old people and children in the cellar.

The whole tribe was in chaos, and the men gathered in the square in the tribe, waiting for the leader to appear.

Soon! The chief is coming.

The incident happened suddenly, and the leader didn't even have time to put on his armor, and asked what was going on as he ran.

"The Yiqu people have been killed! The Yiqu people have been killed! There are a lot of people coming to them! The torches were red, and there were cavalry in the darkness......" a few of the night walkers recounted what they had seen.

They didn't know that the horses were scattered, not ridden, not cavalry. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, they thought it was cavalry.

"They? Do the Yiqu people have such a fast speed? The leader asked, skeptically.

As Xue Lian introduced: The leader of the Deer Park tribe is a lean old man in his fifties, not tall, as if he is not a steppe person, and he does not have the tall and mighty spirit of a steppe person. But! But the man is very shrewd, his eyes are rolling in his sockets, and he looks at the people around him.

"Chief! It's impossible for the army from the Yiqu country to come over! But! What if they, who have been defeated, want to come and ransack us? They also treat our Deer Park tribe as a soft prince! ”

"Yes! There were more than 3,000 of the Blue Bead Prince's subordinates, and only a fraction of them were killed by Snow Lotus's caravan! If these people are organized by someone, the power is very strong! Chieftain! Do we have to guard against it? Said a well-minded member of the tribe.

"Now that it's here! Everyone's ready to prepare! Let's fight them in an ambush! After listening to everyone's opinions, the lean old man finally made a decision.

When the chief had made some arrangements, he took some of his people with him to meet the invading enemy. Others, respectively, outflanked the past, hid on both sides of the road. I plan to wait until the Yiqu people come, release the arrows first, and then attack, and catch the opponent off guard.

This is their territory, and they are familiar with the terrain. It is best known where an ambush is appropriate. As soon as the enemy enters their ambush circle, they will be able to keep the enemy alive.

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! The people of the Deer Park tribe have killed......" A caravan guard who was exploring the way ahead came in a panic and reported to the white officials.
