Chapter 300: Encounter
I have no choice but to fight!
The leader of the thieves gritted his teeth and used all his might. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
One person fights, and ten people follow suit.
The gang fought to their deaths, eventually succeeding in killing two shield-wielding guards.
After all, the caravan guards are not really the elite of the army, and they are also a little tired after fighting for a long time.
According to common sense, after the shield is damaged, the follow-up men and horses should be replaced in time, but after the death of the companion, the rest of the caravan guards have a momentary gap.
It was in this short moment that a gap appeared in the neat shield array.
The thief was overjoyed, "Haha, sons, the big thing has been accomplished, follow me to break the formation!" ”
The reason why the caravan is so difficult to bite is not because the chariot array and the shield array echo each other?
At this moment, the leader of the thieves successfully broke the formation, which immediately caused a burst of cheers.
Without a barrier, no matter how strong the guard is, it is no match for the thief army!
"Break the formation, break the formation, break the formation!"
The thieves were so angry that they swarmed up, and for a moment, the caravan guards were under tremendous pressure, and one careless could wipe out the entire army.
At the critical moment, the dark cloud beads were immediately slashed, ready to rush forward at any time.
Blacksmith Zhang also grabbed a steel knife in his hand, if it really came to an irreversible moment, he would ignite the cannonball and create an opportunity for the dark cloud bead to break through!
One guard after another fell, and the dark cloud bead could not hold back and kill it, but the thieves were completely red-eyed, and they didn't put the dark cloud bead in their eyes at all.
Spears and spears, throwing axes, throwing hammers and other weapons compete to greet the dark cloud beads.
Although Wuyunzhu was an extraordinary martial artist, it was impossible to do everything, and it was not long before her mount fell to her death.
Without the mount, the martial arts of the dark cloud beads were greatly reduced.
The thieves will not pity the jade, they will only fall into the well.
It didn't take long for the dark cloud bead to be covered in blood, and the lives of more than a dozen thieves had fallen in front of her, but the thieves had already seen the hope of success, where would they easily retreat?
At the last moment, a gong sounded, and a group of people and horses suddenly came out.
"Kill the thief!"
The general is armed with a long knife, and there is no one in the place where he passes.
The thieves on the periphery didn't expect that there would be enemies in the rear, and their attention was focused on the caravan in the center, and they suffered a big loss for a while.
The earth trembled slightly, and the rear army howled with ghosts and wolves.
The thieves were shocked, where did the reinforcements come from this caravan?
Looking around, the thief was horrified to see a group of red-armored sergeants coming from behind a hundred paces away.
In order to attract people's attention, this group of infantry soldiers actually went around in a big circle, completely avoiding the battle formation, and completely avoiding the detection of thieves.
What's the matter?
Seeing that a big victory is about to be won, who would have thought of killing a bad thing halfway.
Damn, what to do?
At this time, there were only more than 300 people left around the thief!
Let the rear army against the enemy?
Who the fuck knows how many reinforcements there are on the other side?
What about the sentinels?
What the damn sentry does, there are so many people coming, why didn't they warn?
What I didn't say, it must be the Ulju Army!
Escape? If the main general fled, it would definitely make the army disheartened, and the caravan guards who had been successful in a hundred battles would never let go of such a situation.
At such a critical juncture, how dare you easily blow the horn of retreating? A careless situation is a lose-off situation.
However, if the war continues, if there are a lot of soldiers and horses, what should we do?
The answer was soon revealed, under the charge of the official army, the thieves were crushed at the first touch, and they could not even achieve the purpose of delaying their sharpness.
The leader of the thieves was shocked, he didn't expect this official army to be so strong!
Can't stop it, only escape!
At this time, a rider beats the horse like a fly.
The leader of the thieves was terrified, "Who is coming?" ”
"Yi Ying is also!"
Yi Ying slapped his horse and galloped, the big knife in his hand flashed, and instantly cut off the flag of the leader of the thieves, and at the same time, he shouted loudly: "The thief will be dead!" ”
The besieging officers and soldiers immediately shouted, "The thief is dead!" ”
The leader of the thieves who was running for his life on a horse was furious and had the intention to question it loudly, but the officers and soldiers behind him were chasing too urgently.
"The thief will be dead, kill the thief!"
"The thief will be dead"
"The thief is dead"......
The shouts touched the heartstrings of the thieves, and they scattered and fled.
Yi Ying didn't let go of the chase, he hit his horse and came to the front of the caravan.
Blacksmith Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "But Yi Yingyi commanded? ”
"Yes, it's me"
Yi Ying has already been promoted, and now she is a fifth-grade official.
"He will repay the grace of saving his life"
Yi Ying said with a smile: "It's okay to say this, Wang Tengwang's guerrilla and I have a good relationship, and I made a move this time, but it just happened to be a coincidence."
Blacksmith Zhang bowed his hand slightly, "Commander Yi is bright, I have marked it!" ”
A red sun rose in the east, the shouting of killing completely stopped, and the sky dawned.
The thief was sweating through his clothes, and in order to get out of the battlefield and get rid of the possible pursuit of the official army, he ran wildly for a long time.
The thieves' war horses were scarce, and except for the leader of the thieves, only a dozen horsemen still fled with him.
Hundreds of people and horses, so far there are only a few dozen people left, beating horses and looking around, Ma Miao is sad.
However, compared with the loss of the subordinates, it is the employer that worries Ma Miao the most.
received a bounty of 30%, but in the end he failed to complete the next task, Ma Miao didn't know what to do.
Default?
The employer's hands were heavily calloused, and the guards behind him were tall and large, and he didn't look like a good person.
offended such a character, Ma Miao had trouble sleeping.
Ma Miao is not a thief and a person, if he can go away and fly high, he will definitely be happy with the bounty, but his intuition tells Ma Miao that he can't afford to offend the employer.
Think about it, there are nearly a thousand taels of characters, how many people can there be in this world?
Moreover, he clearly knew that the caravan was a guerrilla Wang Teng's men and horses, and he knew that the caravan was escorting thousands of taels of silver, but the other party still had no fear, what does this mean? It shows that the power behind the employer is not inferior to Wang Teng.
has already offended Wang Teng, if he offends his employer again, the world is so big, where is Ma Miao's place?
Thinking of this, Ma Miao sighed.
A group of headless flies scurried around, and suddenly, a gloomy voice suddenly appeared: "Horse leader, have you brought what I want?" ”
Ma Miao shuddered, he swallowed dryly, and before he could speak, he saw a group of cavalry soldiers surrounding him.
The number of people who came was extremely large, it seemed that they were at least 800 horses away, and the most important thing was that they were not dressed as Han Chinese, this was Jiannu!
I encountered this incident just out of the jungle, there is no doubt that my every move is under the control of the other party, Ma Miao didn't dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth: "Sir, I missed."
"Oh? Didn't you swear by it? Why can't you even deal with a few hundred people? ”
"Accident, really an accident, I had already torn open the caravan's defense, who would have thought that they would come to reinforcements, and the ones who came were all veterans who were used to fighting, and the brothers couldn't defeat them, so they were defeated on the spot"
Fan Qi sneered: "You fled from the wind, right?" ”
Ma Miao's eyes widened, not knowing how to refute.
"If you don't retreat, even if they come with reinforcements, you can get what you want, but you escape! Damn, such a great opportunity was wasted by you, why didn't you die? ”
Ma Miao looked terrified: "You ......"
Fan Qi didn't seem to have any interest in speaking, he just waved his arm and said, "Kill him!" ”
"Hum", the arrow that suddenly shot came to Ma Miao in an instant.
Ma Miao dodged in a hurry and avoided the first, but soon there was a second and a third.
"Puff puff", it didn't take long for Ma Miao to become a hedgehog.
"I'm tired of Lord Niulu, I've dealt with all of these rogues."
Niu Lu Zhangjing bowed slightly, "Mr. Fan, don't be impatient!" ”
After that, Niu Lu Zhangjing gave an order, and the slave cavalry began a bloody massacre.
Pity the hundreds of thieves, they managed to escape, but they were killed without even knowing who the enemy was.
Suddenly, the scout came to report, "Mr. Fan, the men and horses who galloped to help last night have been clarified, and they are indeed the Ulzhou Army"
"How many soldiers and horses do they have?"
"One hundred cavalry, six hundred infantry, three hundred auxiliaries"
"Are you sure you can deal with them?"
Niu Lu Zhangjing glared at Fan Qi angrily, "Since Mr. doesn't trust me, why did he accompany me on the expedition?" ”
Fan Qi remained silent, "Although there are no famous generals in the Ulzhou Army, it is better for Lord Zhang Jing to be careful."
Niu Lu Zhang Jing snorted coldly and said no more.
At the same time, the caravan guards several miles away were all wounded, even the dark cloud beads all wounded one arm.
Blacksmith Zhang took a breath and said, "The sentinel range has increased to five miles, and as soon as there is any trouble, come and report immediately!" ”
"Whoa!"
Yi Ying frowned, feeling that Blacksmith Zhang was making a bit of a fuss, "The thieves have already escaped, Brother Zhang doesn't have to be like this, right?" ”
Blacksmith Zhang shook his head, "This caravan trip is very secretive, few people know, who would have thought that the convoy still encountered thieves when it came here, which shows that our whereabouts have been leaked, the world is so big, there are very few people who can buy thieves and rob caravans in Ulzhou, think about it, except for Fan Yongdou is Jin Liangyu!" ”
"Neither of these two is a good stubble?"
"That's right, so we have to be careful"
Yi Ying admired it in her heart, and said in her mouth: "I have heard that the Guangling Army is famous all over the world for a long time, and when I see it today, I know that the rumors are true."
Blacksmith Zhang smiled slightly, "I'm just a blacksmith."
The sun is getting higher and the sun is shining warmly on the earth.
I just experienced a fight last night, and it was a time of physical and mental exhaustion, and at this time, a sunny day came just right.
Whether it was the caravan guards or the Ulzhou officers and soldiers, they enjoyed it very much.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, maybe someone would have stopped and basked for a while, but at this moment, all the soldiers did not dare to slack off for a moment.
The enemy may chase after him at any time and place, and when the time comes, it will be a fierce battle.
If there were no goods and casualties, the group could travel lightly and run wildly, however, at this time, Blacksmith Zhang could only choose to go with Yi Ying.
Exposure has become inevitable, and what Blacksmith Zhang can do is to postpone the encounter with the enemy as late as possible, so that the chances of his men successfully arriving will increase a lot.
During the march, none of the caravan guards exchanged heads, and their demeanor infected the Ulju army.
For a moment, there was no sound in the huge procession except for the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of "squeak" axles.
After walking for about three miles, "Da Da Da", a sound of horses' hooves came.
"Report, General, there is a wooden bridge ahead, it has been destroyed"
Yi Ying's face was grim, and she said, "How deep is the river?" Can I swim across? ”
"War horses can cross the river, but the carriage is too cumbersome, but I am afraid that I can't cross the river"
Blacksmith Zhang took a breath and said, "Abandon all the wooden carts and cross the river."
"Brother Zhang, I heard that the caravan's goods are worth a lot, wouldn't it be a pity to abandon the vehicle at this time?"
Although Wuyunzhu did not speak, her angry eyes were obviously not happy.
Blacksmith Zhang had to explain, "No matter who the enemy is, they must be prepared, if we carry the goods, we can only add to the burden, rather than this, it is better to throw it away as soon as possible and face the enemy lightly."
Yi Ying is an outsider after all, so she can't express her opinions, and Wuyunzhu doesn't have so many concerns, "No, the enemy deliberately destroyed the bridge, maybe he just wanted to tempt us to cross the river, the more this is the case, the more we can't swim across."
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
"Stand on the shore and stand still"
Yi Ying's eyes lit up, compared with Blacksmith Zhang's strategy, Wuyunzhu's method was obviously more reliable.
Although it is a bit too much to be so cautious before the enemy has even met each other, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Why not stay by the river, save the convoy and wait to see what happens?
Blacksmith Zhang was still a little worried, "If the enemy is several times larger than me, what should I do?" ”
Most of the caravan guards have been wounded, and it is difficult to support the next fight, at this time, the only one who can rely on is the Ulzhou army.
Yi Ying understood Blacksmith Zhang's concerns, "Brother Zhang, rest assured, with me here, the Ulzhou Army will not easily escape."
Blacksmith Zhang sighed, "At this time, open the wooden box, and if you don't take out the shells, these treasures will fall into the hands of the enemy."
"No!"
Yi Ying didn't expect that Blacksmith Zhang had traveled thousands of miles to just buy some cannonballs......
Fortunately, it is not something that can be eaten or used, and this cannonball can more or less play a role in killing the enemy, depending on whether it will be used.
The thieves first destroyed the wooden bridge, and then what next?
Who's watching?
Wuyunzhu smiled coldly: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, a group of rats who hide their heads and tails."
Yi Ying already knew the identity of Wuyunzhu, and she didn't dare to slack off at the moment, "The thief is so powerful, I'm afraid that the plot is not small."
"So we've been exposed a long time ago, but why didn't they make a move?"
"They must have seen last night's fight and wanted to fight halfway"
Talking to a smart person is to save effort, Yi Ying smiled: "The gentleman sees the same thing, I also think that the thief wants to lure us across the river!" ”
Blacksmith Zhang has given up the idea of fleeing lightly, Yi Ying's concerns are very reasonable, the enemy in the dark must have some plot to destroy the wooden bridge.
If the convoy abandons the cargo, it may be at their advantage!
A group of rogues is already very difficult, and now, what difficult opponents are in the shadows? Why haven't they shown up yet? (To be continued.) )
