The people of Baishan returned with a full load, and there were more than a dozen carts of gold, silver, copper coins, porcelain, and all kinds of fine ornaments, plus silk, tea, furs, and grain, and there were as many as sixty carts. -.-

Gu Lilen's heart is beautiful, he looks back at the only two vans from time to time, there are more than a dozen beautiful women snatched from the border city, all of them are delicate, and when they wait for their own territory, they immediately pick out a few to serve themselves.

Due to the large amount of supplies they carried, the team did not walk very fast.

The staff rushed up from behind and said with a smile: "King Qiqi, after preliminary calculations, there are tens of thousands of catties of grain and tea, thousands of exquisite silks, and countless ......."

"Don't say it, how many things there are, this king knows in his heart. He interrupted his staff, lowered his voice, and said, "When you are at the station, put all the valuable things into my king's tent, and put the grain and everything outside." ”

The staff rolled his eyes: "Understand, you can rest assured that I will do something." ”

Gu Lilen is well-known in the Baishan tribe, of course, the most valuable things should be kept for themselves, and the others can be distributed to others according to the size of the merit.

The moon was full and the stars were sparse, and the team continued to move forward.

The staff frowned and said, "King, there is a bald fir pass ahead, do you want to stop and rest for a while, send someone over to investigate, and make sure that there is no danger before leaving." ”

Bald Shan's Pass, the only valley from the border city back to the Baishan tribe's station. It is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a valley, because there are few stones on the cliffs on both sides, and most of them are soil structures, and the height is only fifty or sixty meters.

"No, the people of the border city are eating dogs and dogs, it is impossible to come here to set up an ambush, order the team to pass directly. Gu Lilen said without thinking about it.

The staff wanted to persuade them, but thinking about the king's words, it was very reasonable, and the people in the border city were too busy to take care of themselves, so they didn't need to worry at all.

Walking further on, we soon came to the bald fir pass.

The reason for the name is that the trees here are not tall, and they do not grow very long, and they look like bald old men from a distance, hence the name.

As far as the eye could see, there was silence in the bald fir pass.

Due to the limited width, the people who were previously responsible for protecting the vehicle either walked in front of the carriage or followed behind, and the original defensive formation also became a long snake formation.

The length of the bald fir col is more than three miles, which is large enough to contain the entire "long snake" in its abdomen.

Gullen and his staff walked in the middle of the procession, next to the carriage full of gold and silver.

Suddenly, the team in front stopped, and Gu Lilen shouted at the top of his voice: "Why stop, did this king let you stop?"

"Report to the king, the road ahead is blocked by several big trees, and the sons are clearing the obstacles. The creep ran over and said.

The faces of the two of them tightened at the same time, how could there be a big tree blocking the road, when passing by here in the afternoon, it was still all the way, it was winter, it was not windy or rainy, how could there be a broken tree?

The staff opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of big tree is broken, or there are traces of swords and axes?"

The soldier was stunned: "It seems that there are traces of an axe." ”

"Oh no, the king quickly order the team to turn around, there must be an ambush here!" shouted the staff at a high level like a male duck stuck in the neck.

Gu Lilen also felt that something was wrong, from the moment he came in, the surroundings were quiet and terrifying, and something was going to happen.

He was just about to give the order to retreat, when suddenly countless torches suddenly flew from the high ground on both sides, illuminating the entire valley, and at the same time the sound of bowstrings sounded, and crossbow arrows fell like locusts, accurately hitting the people below.

The screams rang out, and Gu Lilen took the shield handed by his staff, knocked a feather arrow shot at him into the air, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, defense! Don't panic, slowly retreat, there are not many enemies, as long as everyone retreats from this area, they will have no choice." ”

This guy is not completely useless, at least he can judge the number of enemies in the dark based on the sound of the bowstring.

They walked slowly all the way, so they gave Xiao Chen a chance to calmly come here to set up an ambush.

The little marquis had five hundred people in his hands, but all of them escaped from the border city, and many of them did not have time to bring weapons such as bows and crossbows, so that the two thousand people only made up four hundred, and Su Kemu and Medina had a heavier task, and it was difficult to complete the task without bows and crossbows, so he only brought a hundred.

Hundreds of bows and crossbows were fired at the same time, even if they occupied a condescending advantage, one round would only cause dozens of casualties, and it would be a joke to rely on them to annihilate more than 2,000 enemies.

The little marquis in charge of the command had this hatred in his heart, he only needed to bury fire oil in the bald fir pass, and a single fire could burn these guys to death.

But he can't do this, first of all, they are all from the White Mountain Clan, although they betrayed Medina, but every time they die, it will be a loss for Medina to return to the White Mountain Clan in the future.

Second, they carried the items they had stolen from the border city, and although a fire could burn them to death, these materials would also be burned, which would be a huge loss to the border city.

Faced with two losses that could not be ignored, he could only choose to use the most stupid ambush method.

Fortunately, it has a high advantage, and its own side does not hit a single torch to avoid exposing the target. The enemy below fled for their lives in a panic, and had no chance to fight back.

Seeing that this was not the case, Gu Lilen immediately ordered: "Don't mess up, first extinguish the torches in your hands, don't let go of those on the ground, and then counterattack! The number of enemies is not large, everyone don't worry, we will definitely be able to defeat them." ”

Your sister!

The little marquis secretly cursed in his heart, and he had to admit that this Gu Lilen was an excellent military commander, and he could still be in danger under such circumstances.

snatched the strong crossbow from the hands of the people around him, aimed at the target and pulled the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows flew out in response.

Burst......

The bolt hit the staff member in the back accurately, the sharp arrow peeking through the front, and his eyes widened, then he opened his mouth to spew out a large mouthful of blood, and then fell off his horse.

This person has been Gu Lilen's follower for many years, and if it weren't for him, Gu Lilen would not have had a chance to become today's king of Baishan.

Xiao Hou Ye adheres to the principle that if you don't make a move, you will take the life of an important person, he returned the strong crossbow to its owner, and said: "See it, try to greet the important people, our crossbows and crossbow arrows are not much, how can we waste them on the little minions." ”

"King, the barricades in front have been cleared, and now they are unimpeded, are we ...... Ah......h

Gu Lilen immediately came to his senses: "Everyone, quickly rush out of the bald fir pass, unnecessary things can be left, gold, silver and women must all be taken away, drive!"

With that, he took the lead and rushed forward.

The soldiers only cared about running for their lives, throwing down countless carriages, but the little marquis did not chase them, but let them escape from the bald fir pass.

His goal had been achieved, extinguishing the enemy's strength and forcing them to leave behind most of their supplies.

But the real war has only just begun from this moment.
