Li Yin said: "Now we should let the non-combatants try to plug their ears as much as possible, do what they have to do, and don't be disturbed by the horse bandits, while the combatants take turns guarding before the enemy attacks to maintain their energy!" ”

After Zhao Lang heard this, he nodded, and immediately ordered Li Yin's suggestion, and the camp quickly settled down.

The horse bandits did not intend to attack immediately, and after seeing that the charge interference was no longer effective, they cried wolf around for half the night before they stopped.

In the early morning of the next day, the horse bandits still did not leave, and Zhao Lang sent a bold man as a messenger to negotiate with the horse bandits to see if they could get the caravan to pay some travel fees to let the horse bandits let them pass.

But it didn't take long for the head of the bold man to be kicked near the camp by the horse bandits like a football, and Zhao Lang's heart sank, knowing that there was no room for turning back.

Just when Zhao Lang was thinking hard about the best way to retreat from the enemy, those horse bandits all got on their horses and galloped into the distance, and disappeared into the vast snow in an instant.

When everyone saw this, they were all confused, and many people said that it must be the Buddha who blessed them and repelled the horse bandits.

Li Yin said coldly at this time: "The horse bandit's knife has seen blood, how can there be a reason to retreat easily?" ”

His somewhat obscure words caused some people to be dissatisfied, and some people said, "Then why do you say they are leaving now?" Could it be that you are going to godmother-in-law? ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed loudly.

Li Yin shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know why they left, but I know that they will definitely come back, maybe when we set off on the road, without the protection of the camp, and the formation is panicked, it will be when they come back." ”

Li Yin's words still have a certain truth, after hearing it, everyone felt that it was not impossible, so they stopped laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Zhao Lang said: "Brother Li Yuanyu is right, it's always good to be careful." ”

"Then we can't stay here forever, right?" Someone said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhao Lang said: "Of course this can't be done, we are cautious and slow, and send horse sentry, if those horse bandits attack, we can also make preparations at some time, and there are three days away, it is a medium-sized tribe called Tabu, as long as we get there, we are not afraid of these horse bandits." ”

After Zhao Lang said this, everyone's hearts suddenly settled, and even Li Yin felt that this was one of the most feasible methods.

Soon after, the caravan continued to move forward, and several horse sentry were sent out, Li Yin relied on the speed of the horse, and also asked Zhao Lang to be the horse sentry, and Zhao Lang also agreed after persuading him to pay attention to safety.

Xu Kai looked at Li Yin's departing back with some suspicion, and said to Zhao Lang: "Master Zhao, this person's origin is unknown, could it be a spy sent by those horse bandits." ”

Zhao Lang shook his head, "The person introduced by Master Tian is definitely impossible to be a horse bandit, and he has been helping us with advice since last night, how can such a person be a spy?" ”

Xu Kai nodded after hearing this, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

Once the yellow horse run, it was like a gust of wind, but Li Yin was quick and did not stay away from the caravan, wandering around with the caravan as the center.

The sky and the earth were white, and from a distance, there was only a black spot in Li Yin.

There are few ups and downs in the grassland, and there are few shelters, as long as there are people, they will be able to see it from a distance, so Li Yin is not too worried about his safety as a horse whistle.

After half a day like this, Li Yin was bored when he suddenly heard an unusual sound, and after a while, he saw a large group of people galloping over.

Li Yin hurriedly turned the horse's body, and as soon as his legs were clamped, the yellow horse galloped quickly, and in an instant, the people and horses behind him were thrown far away.

Sure enough, as Li Yin expected, the temporary departure of these horse bandits was only to let the caravan relax its vigilance, and then suddenly attacked, in order to achieve the results with the lowest casualties. Li Yin was nearly five miles away from the caravan, and in an instant, he blew the messenger of the horse whistle at a distance, and when he returned to the caravan, the caravan had stopped, and began to arrange for men to arrange obstacles to defend against the enemy.

"Are the bandits really coming? Don't scare us! Someone asked with a suspicious look on his face after looking around a few times.

Li Yin rarely answered, grabbed his weapon tightly, and looked into the distance with a look of waiting.

After a while, the loud sound of horses' hooves sounded, and no less than three thousand horsemen appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This ...... How is it that there are so many more people than when they left this morning? The person who questioned Li Yin just now said tremblingly.

When these horse bandits left in the morning, they were just over 2,000, but now there are nearly 3,000 people, which is indeed a lot more.

The bandits seemed to be a little surprised when they saw the caravan waiting for them, and vaguely seemed to hear some quarrels.

Zhao Lang seemed to have seen something at this time, "It turns out that these people are not from the same team of horse bandits, but from several groups of people together, who has such great ability to do this." ”

Li Yin asked curiously, "How did Zhao Touren see it?" ”

Zhao Lang said: "Xiao Lao'er has been walking on this road for many years, and he basically knows the horse bandits in this vicinity, it was too late last night, and they walked in a hurry this morning, so they didn't see it, but now they have recognized several of the horse bandit leaders, so they know that they are not a group of people." ”

At this time, the horse bandits seemed to have been negotiated, and began to approach the caravan.

Zhao Lang walked to the front and said loudly: "Friends from the grassland, is it because Zhao Lao'er and I are not polite there?" Why do you provoke everyone to embarrass me like this? ”

The bandits' team stopped, and a man dressed in animal skin said loudly: "Zhao Lao'er, you didn't do anything wrong, but we must rob your caravan this time, otherwise none of us will survive, so don't blame us for not remembering the past feelings, let's just be captured!" ”

After Zhao Lang heard this, his heart had sunk to the bottom, and he completely gave up the idea of peace. Fortunately, after the preparation of this meeting, Xu Kai has led people to basically arrange simple fortifications.

The bandits began to run around the caravan, and in order to find the weak points of the caravan, they occasionally fired volleys of arrows into the caravan.

These 3,000 horse bandits, all of them are skilled in bows and horses, even compared with Li Yin's army, they are also at the upper level, so as soon as the two sides clashed, several people on the caravan side were killed by the horse bandits' random arrows, and later after finding shelters, this did not let the number of people shot continue to increase.

After shooting several rounds of arrows, the horse bandits had basically shot all the arrows they were carrying, and then they stopped, and they all drew their scimitars, ready to attack the caravan!
