A few days away from Xuzhou, the caravan followed by Han Yu was stationed here, Cui Linjiang personally led his subordinates to patrol back and forth, but the night passed, there was no trace of the bandits, Han Yu, who had not slept all night, was also relieved, as long as the caravan left earlier today, maybe it could pass through the canyon before the bandits arrived, I believe that it is also close to Xuzhou, and the entire caravan will be safer.

Early the next morning, Han Yu, who had dark circles under his eyes, walked out of the tent with a longbow and arrow bag on his back, and when he arrived at the edge of the hillside, he happened to meet Cui Linjiang who was yawning.

"Brother Han, fortunately, it's safe!" Cui Linjiang chuckled.

"We were terrified all night, and there were no ghosts!" A master who was not supposed to keep vigil tonight complained angrily to Han Yu.

"I hope the caravan can leave as soon as possible, I'm afraid if it drags on... Wait a minute! Han Yu said calmly, he didn't hear the teacher's complaints, but Han Yu was suddenly stunned, pointed to more than thirty clumps of withered grass in the distance and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Cui, when did those withered grasses get there!" ”

Hearing Han Yu's inquiry, the surrounding masters were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, Cui Linjiang was also dumbfounded, and couldn't help but say playfully: "When was the dead grass there, I'm afraid that my old Cui will have to ask the land immortals, and by the way, I will ask you if it is male or female, Brother Han, you look good!" ”

"The dead grass is the color of the grass around it!" Seeing that Cui Linjiang was puzzled, Han Yu then explained, "Look at the withered grass, these thirty-odd clusters are obviously darker in color, and they should grow in a more humid place, while the surrounding withered grass is obviously much lighter-colored, they are very likely to be bandits!" ”

Not to mention that it was nothing before, but now that it is really the case after a closer look, in addition to admiring Han Yu's meticulous observation, he is even more afraid in his heart, if these more than thirty people suddenly attack and kill, they may be defeated if they are defenseless, Cui Linjiang frowned and was about to draw his blade, but he was pulled by Han Yu.

"Uncle Cui, you might as well listen to me!" A confident smile flashed across Han Yu's face.

At dawn, the more than thirty bandits who approached the caravan at night were wrapped in thick withered grass, these withered grass picked from the Shiyun Valley was a little damp, unpleasant to drape on, and exuded a musty rancid smell, but how dare they disobey the order of the big boss Yue Youchong, and more importantly, the big boss had promised that once the caravan was successfully taken, they would take as much of all the loot they grabbed, and they would take as much as they could, and they would also play a decisive role in the first wave of attacks when they watched the caravan's every move.

They were waiting, waiting for the three masters to lead the arrival of the army, and the grievances they had suffered before were negligible.

"Chen Daya, when are they coming!" One of the bandits, who was lying on the ground, lowered his voice and asked a lean man who was crawling half a meter in front of him.

"Sheng Cheng, you kid shut up for me, and then dare to call this nickname Lao Tzu to pull out your front teeth!" The lean man scolded angrily.

"Shut up!" A thief led by a tiger with a bear's waist scolded in a low voice, "If your whereabouts are exposed, Lao Tzu will kill you two first!" ”

"Chen Gate... Chen Ye, Chen Ye! Seeing that the other party was about to get angry, the thief who was the first to ask quickly changed his words, "Do you smell a smell of burning!" ”

"Well, it's a little!" The thief who was called Chen Ye said a little angrily, and just turned his head for a moment, he looked at the back in astonishment and said, "It's not good, the back is on fire!" A group of thieves who climbed on the ground took the opportunity to look, only to see the fire in the distance I don't know when it jumped up, in fact, it is no wonder that they have not been found until now, lying on the ground The view was blocked by weeds, and a little smoke did not attract attention until the fire rolled out in the rear, and it was inadvertently seen before they woke up.

Although the fire here is not big, it will not burn them, but it is enough to be curated by this billowing smoke, and everyone immediately looked at the bandits led by them.

"It's all for Lao Tzu to climb firm!" The bandit who was lying on the ground viciously threatened, "If anyone dares to move, Lao Tzu will kill him!" ”

Soon the smoke from the burning of dead grass around them came and soon overturned on the heads of the thieves who were wrapped in dead grass and lying on the ground, they were completely iron-hearted, and they would not move a single inch before the three masters arrived, but fortunately, the smoke was only floating overhead, and it would not suffocate.

On the hillside, Han Yu, who had just come back from the side and was holding a longbow, was full of smiles, and Cui Linjiang, who was carrying a ring-headed knife, laughed and said: "I didn't expect Brother Han's archery skills to grow so fast, and he was able to shoot the arrows from the side into the rear of these thieves, if they don't like to lie on their stomachs, they will never be able to rise!" ”

"Uncle Cui, can you listen to my orders later!" Han Yu clenched his fists and asked for power.

Cui Linjiang smiled heartily and said, "You should be like this!" ”

Seeing that the distance was completely overturned by thick smoke, and the bandits wrapped in withered grass were motionless, Han Yu raised the longbow in his hand, and several experts around him also drew their bows and arrows.

"Put!" With Han Yu's order, the arrows roared out and suddenly fell into the withered grass, and several piles of withered grass suddenly trembled and stopped moving.

Based on Han Yu's guess, it seems that these bandits were obviously carefully selected, and they were not frightened by the sudden attack, in fact, the actual situation was that a group of bandits hiding in the dry grass were completely frightened, it turned out that the tiger-backed bear-waisted bandit led by the arrow was actually pierced through the eye socket and raised the corpse on the spot, some of the bandits wanted to get up and turned around and fled, but the billowing smoke above their heads, once inhaled into their lungs, they were afraid that they would be smoked to death, and they all turned to crawl into the distance.

"Uncle Cui!" Han Yu took the arrow again, turned his head to look at the side of the group of people who were covering their faces with cloth bands, and Cui Linjiang and others who were eager to try, these cloth bands covering their faces were soaked in water, which could effectively resist the smoke, and they were downwind, but they would not worry about being choked to death by the smoke, hearing Han Yu's order, Cui Linjiang carried the ring head knife and led a group of teachers to rush towards the place where the bandits were.

Seeing the guards of the caravan swarming towards the "Fighting" Walkers' Gate, the bandits were frightened and frightened, and crawled forward one after another, but they were obviously not good at crawling on all fours, and their speed was far less fast than the running Walkers, and they were caught up in less than a moment.

These thieves are also perennial knife licking blood, trapped beasts are still fighting under the blood is suddenly aroused, since the horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to get up and give up their lives, one after another to raise the knife and rise, but just got up and did not stand up straight, the eyes suddenly darkened, the choking pungent smoke smell, almost did not let them pass out directly, in such a situation can not fight at all, what is even worse is that a round of arrows whistling again, the three thieves suddenly fell into a pool of blood.

Cui Linjiang took the lead, took the opportunity to raise the ring head knife, and cut off the head of a bandit facing him with a knife, and at the same time as the headless corpse fell to the ground, the morale of the surrounding bandits suddenly dropped to the freezing point, and they all turned around and fled, but they couldn't move forward at full speed in the thick smoke, and in less than a moment, several panicked bandits fell to the ground and died because they inhaled too much turbid air.

The bandits were defeated like a mountain, on the other hand, the morale of the master led by Cui Linjiang was greatly boosted, and he chased the bandits all the way to slash and kill, except for the three people who were captured, the rest of the bandits were killed, a few hours later, when Yue Youchong, the big boss of Shiyun Village, Xiao Hu, the second leader, and Lou Zi'an, the third leader, led the bandits to the nest, looking at the corpses all over the ground for a while, he didn't expect a small caravan to kill all the pioneers they carefully selected.

The three masters looked at each other, and it was obvious that this caravan was not a boiled duck, but a difficult bone, and this time it was kicked to the iron plate.
