Chapter 17: Halfway to the end of the journey to bite the gold
On the official road, the caravan sentry scouts galloped to investigate the road ahead.
One team ran to the foot of the mountain, and the other turned into the dense forest beside the road.
In the dense forest, Zhai Baiya led people to hide in the bushes, watching ten horseback riders cautiously shuttling through the mountains and forests, his face was tense, and he signaled to everyone around him, ready to kill at any time.
The sun shines through the branches of the trees and spooks on the ground, but more of them are shadows.
The knight at the front was already ten steps closer, and Zhai Baiya's hand was clenched.
Suddenly, he mounted a bow and shot an arrow into the grass in front of him, and the long arrow grazed Zhai Baiya's sideburns and inserted into the grass, Zhai Baiya's face remained unchanged and he gently raised his hand to stop the movement of the brothers around him, and the long arrow broke through the air, and several birds in the forest fluttered and flew away.
All the knights looked up one after another, and the weapons in their hands were all raised, and then they found that it was only a few frightened birds, and then they relaxed.
"Let's go." The leader of the cavalry once again scanned the dense forest, and finally gave the order to withdraw.
The cavalry came out of the dense forest and mixed with the other group returning from the mountain road, and the two leaders shook their heads at each other, signaling that there was no danger, and then led the men back to the caravan behind.
In the dense forest, waiting for no more movement, Zhai Baiya breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, the border troops under his command appeared one by one and dived towards the edge of the dense forest.
The caravan, listening to the return of the cavalry, the leader of the guard laughed: "The rabble doesn't have the courage to touch the tiger's buttocks, dare to kill Lao Tzu if they dare to come, kill it or bury it." ”
The rich young master in the carriage lazily said: "Since there are no mountain bandits, let's hurry up, this bad road can ruin this young master, go back to the city early to have fun." ”
The steward hesitated but interjected: "It's better to be cautious." ”
It's a pity that when he said it, no one paid attention to it, and the old steward retracted his eyes in embarrassment, lowered his head and was silent.
The caravan moved forward again, still stretched thinly.
In the dense forest, Zhai Baiya looked at the caravan that was getting closer and closer, with a greedy and cruel smile on his face, and with a wave of his hand, there were more than a hundred or so people around him, all tense their nerves and clenched their weapons.
100 steps, 50 steps, 30 steps.
"Brothers, kill me, block me, and don't let anyone go." Zhai Baiya roared, the long knife pointed at the sky, and then one after another figures flew out of the jungle and rushed towards the caravan, but the distance of twenty steps was instantaneous, and it smashed into the caravan like rocks rolling down the mountain.
One by one, black shadows rushed out of the dense forest, and the shouts of killing sounded densely, and the knight at the head of the caravan was shocked, and then shouted in surprise: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”
At the same time, the caravan guards in the front row had already seen a large number of black-clothed men shouting to kill, and hurriedly drew their weapons one by one and prepared to meet the enemy.
In the middle of the caravan, when the leader of the guards heard the shouts of killing, his face suddenly became angry, and he slammed his knife on the leg of the knight next to him, and scolded angrily: "You useless grandson, where did you come from the mountain bandits? ”
"The third child will lead people to form a chariot formation, protect the young master and property, and the others will kill me with me, damn-shit, this group of miscellaneous people, if you don't kill it today, I don't know how powerful my iron-headed king is." The leader of the guards drew his weapons and ran forward viciously, followed by more than a hundred or so soldiers who brandished weapons and shouted to kill.
As soon as everyone left, a man hurriedly commanded the horseman to drive the convoy forward and besiege the city.
Ahead, as soon as the border army came out, it was already thunderous, and there was no nonsense, just slashing and killing with their heads bored.
Zhai Baiya brandished a half-human-long broadsword, like a lion pounced into the flock, one by one, the flesh and blood in front of him rolled, Zhai Baiya's face was more and more excited, and the subordinates behind him were not so brave, but three people formed a team, forming a team, and chiseled into the depths of the caravan.
One by one, the family members rolled to the ground, the border army was fierce, and in just twenty steps, they had fallen full of corpses.
When the Iron Head King came with someone, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, but being able to be the leader, naturally he would not only have the ability to flee with his head in his hands, but he saw that his face was full of killing intent, and he was even more angry: "Brothers, go up in a team and break these miscellaneous pieces for me." ”
So the two groups of people shouted, brandished their weapons and slashed together.
On the field, blood splattered more rapidly, screams became more intense, and more people fell.
As soon as the Iron Head King brought people over, there were also casualties on the side of the border army, after all, there were few people, and they were surrounded by caravan families in an instant, and then more than a dozen corpses fell to the ground.
Zhai Baiya watched the situation gradually change, and then looked at the iron-headed king who was able to kill, his heart was anxious, and then he angrily killed the iron-headed king, and the two immediately slashed together, and they were comparable for a while.
The more this happened, the more anxious Zhai Baiya became, he knew that if this situation continued, his people would be dragged down, and he couldn't help but scold Tao Yazi in his heart for why he hadn't shown up.
And at the back of the caravan, Tao Yazi and his people were still ambushed on the mountain road, watching coldly from afar, even when they saw Zhai Baiya and others being surrounded in the middle, they were unmoved.
At this moment, one thought after another is turning in his mind, he is not stupid, fame, power, wealth, and beauty in this world everyone wants.
Why did Zhai Baiya have to eat what he had left?
Therefore, he wants to make a yellow finch for the duck, and he has to do it all, not the leftover soup that Zhai Baiya looks generous but is actually stingy.
So he was waiting, waiting for Zhai Baiya to hold him up for a few more moments.
He Tao Duck also wants to be the seat of a hundred households, and he has to be a higher position.
Fortunately, the brothers around him are all he has always carried, and the Tao Duck, who has always rushed forward, has collected people's hearts very much, and no one has objected to it.
————
The sun is slanting in the west, the sky is covered with red clouds, dyeing the sky, and the blood on the official road is flowing and stained with red dust.
The shouts of killing had become hoarse, and corpses were piled up all over the official road.
The people who were ambushed on the side of the official road at the foot of Luoliang Mountain held their breath nervously, and the withered grass on their bodies was very densely covered, and Tang Xidong, Liu Lianqing, and the people in the cottage all watched nervously fighting in the distance.
The brutal battle was too fierce, the screams, the sword lights, and the fallen corpses smashed on everyone's hearts at once, and the whole person seemed to be sunk to the bottom of the water, and his breathing became rapid.
Liu Lianqing and the others' faces became ugly, and they tried their best to hide fear in their eyes, but Tang Xidong on the other side of the official road looked very carefully.
This team of thieves suddenly came out of the middle of the road, although Tang Xidong didn't know the identity of the other party, but it was estimated that there was no other purpose except killing and robbing.
Who would have thought that the robbery that his people had been preparing for so long would become like this now.
Nothing is the same.
But regardless of whether there is an accident or not, today's robbery will still be done.
Regardless of whether it was the caravan or the group of robbers who came in the end, they had to leave the silver and food behind.
Tang Xidong's eyes were ruthless, and he paid attention to it in his heart.
At the same time, there is still a little joy in my heart, the situation in front of me is: Bengbu is fighting, and the fisherman is profitable!
No matter who wins on the other side, it's a good thing for the cottage in the end!
