Now that internal unification has been achieved, the next step is to take concrete action.

Xie Shence untied the twelve horses, tore the clothes and tied them to the tails of the horses, and then set the clothes on fire.

This group of horse bandits is a team that goes directly south, so it has always been in front of Xie Shence and the others, if it weren't for Xie Shence and the others rushing overnight, it is likely that there would be no intersection with them.

But there must always be an intersection, and if it's not them, it must be the back.

It was already the second half of the night, and the group of horse bandits were naturally asleep, and the three night watchmen had already fallen asleep with their scabbards in the spring night of the steppe.

Suddenly, a night watchman woke up and saw a large number of flames running not far away.

Ghost? Or is it God?

The night watchman was frightened and curious, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was a dozen warhorses on fire, running wildly, and about to rush in front of him. He panicked.

As a grassland horse bandit, of course he knew what kind of harm a frightened horse would cause, and he didn't think about it, so he tore his throat: "There is a frightened horse, get up quickly!" ”

The night watchman shouted and stepped aside, for the next moment the frightened horses would rush in front of him and knock him away.

At this time, someone had actually woken up. For even if anyone was in the tent, the sound of the horses' hooves on the ground would reach their ears through the ground, and it would be so clear that the dull sound of the drums of that kind would have raised the vast majority of them.

It's just that the sound of more than a dozen war horses running is really not loud enough, so many people actually woke up at the same time as the night watch horse bandits shouted.

Because the distance is too short, even if you wake up, you can't dodge.

More than a dozen horses rushed into the camp, knocked down the tents, knocked the people inside, and trampled them.

The camp was in chaos in an instant.

The camp for 20 people is actually very small, and the tents set up are not yurt-style ones, but small tents that can only accommodate a few people to lie down and sleep.

The twenty-person horse bandit squad was equipped with more than 30 war horses, and the things that could be brought were naturally limited, so the entire camp was also extremely simple.

The whole camp was suddenly scattered by the startled horses.

The tents were soon set on fire, and the untrampled people in the camp scattered in all directions, and those who were affected either wailed or screamed. The more than 30 war horses not far away were also restless, if they were not tied to the stake, they would have rioted.

This must have been a premeditated attack.

The captain of the horse bandits shouted loudly as soon as he reacted: "Assemble at the war horse!" Pick up the knife! Defense! Defense! ”

However, he only shouted it once, and never had a chance to shout it a second time.

A feathered arrow entered his eye, piercing his head, and then killing the man behind him by the way.

Arrows shoot out the head birds.

Such a powerful feather arrow is naturally something that only He Ruoque can shoot.

Several more feathered arrows killed several of the men who opened their mouths and shouted.

The rest of the people were even more panicked. He Ruoque and Xie Di wandered around the periphery, constantly shooting feather arrows and taking away lives. Many people died in a panic and did not know what to do.

It didn't take long for the four of them to shoot down more than a dozen people who could move.

Xie Shence, He Ruoque, and General Secretary Yang were busy grabbing supplies, and Xie Di was dealing with the horse bandits who had not yet lost their breath. As for Xu Luwei, he was naturally tied to the horse's back and couldn't move.

After a short time, Xie Shence and the three of them dragged out a lot of food, as well as some forage.

Xie Shence was very happy, the food had meat in it, and some of it was cooked. Needless to say, it must have been left over from the night. However, there was not only meat, but also a few sacs of wine. Without hesitation, the four of them ate with their drinks.

Drinking in front of a burning tent and eating meat among dead bodies in one place, several people felt nothing.

Xu Luwei screamed on the horseback, reminding Xie Shence and the others that there was still her.

Xie Di untied Xu Luwei, Xu Lu sat on the ground without caring about the image, grabbed a piece of meat, and bit and swallowed it in a big gulp.

It may be that there are too many bites, Xu Luwei was choked, stretched his neck and swallowed, Xie Shence couldn't look past her hard work, and handed over a wine bag. Xu Luwei didn't care who drank it and then Xie Shence drank it, so he took a few sips of it before swallowing the piece of meat.

After a few people had eaten to their fullest, Xie Shence stopped the people who were still swallowing, and asked Xie Di to pack the remaining jerky and start an important job.

Interrogation of prisoners.

Because after all, there are still two or three people who are not dead.

He Ruoque and General Secretary Yang brought the three people over.

"I'll just ask once, if any of you don't answer or is slow to answer, he will be killed by me, and whoever satisfies me, I will give him horse jerky and let him go."

A man spat bloody spat at Xie Shence.

Xie Shence dodged away, then pulled out his Han knife and cut off his head with a single sword.

So another person spat bloody spit on Xie Shence.

Xie Shence naturally dodged away. He raised his bloody sword and cut off the man's head.

Xie Shence carried the blood-dripping Han knife, looked at the last person, and asked, "Do you want to be like them?" ”

The last horse bandit babbled a lot of words that Xie Shence didn't understand.

Xie Shence frowned. When Chinese has become a language that Xianbei people must learn, there are still people who can't understand Chinese, and this person must be an illiterate person.

He Ruoque translated his words, to the effect that he could cooperate, and begged Shence not to kill him.

Xie Shence nodded, and then he said, He Ruo is missing a translator.

"How many of you are there?"

“”

"Two hundred."

"How many squads were divided into, and how did they start the search?"

“”

"Ten squads, fan-searching, no more than thirty miles between each team. In addition to them, there are one or two squads around here. ”

Xie Shence looked at He Ruo and asked, "How can he, an illiterate, know so much?" ”

After He Ruoque translated, the horse bandit hurriedly gave an answer.

"He's the captain's brother-in-law."

Well, Xie Shence accepted this era of living by nepotism.

He Ruoque mixed these words with some other questions and asked them again, and after making sure that he was not lying, he gave him a horse, and under the ecstatic gaze of the horse bandit, he let him go.

The horse bandit climbed onto the horse with difficulty with the only leg left after being trampled by the startled horse, grabbed the reins, and immediately rushed out.

Xie Shence bent his bow and arrow, and an arrow shot him off his horse.

The man rolled off his horse, broke his neck, and died with a whimper. The war horse galloped forward.

Xu Luwei exclaimed at Xie Shence: "Why did you go back on your word!" ”

Xie Shence glanced at Xu Lu strangely and said, "What's the backtrack?" I said let him go, and I let him go, but I didn't say let him go. Now that I've let that horse go, how can I say it's a reversal? ”

Xu Luwei's eyes widened, can he explain it like this?

"If Miss Xu, you think what I'm doing is wrong, then you criticize me?"

Xu Luwei instantly put away his contempt, turned around silently, and obediently led the horse.

Where did she dare to criticize Xie Shence? Xie Shence did not hesitate or reluctance in his eyes when he said that he would solve her.

A few men mounted their horses and ran south.

Judging from the words of the horse bandit's brother-in-law, there should be at least a small group of horse bandits in the south, and it is not far away, if nothing else, Xie Shence and the others should be able to meet them in an hour.

Xie Shence decided to take a detour.

Obviously, although the battle just now was won easily, it was still a drain on a few people. Moreover, the sky is about to dawn, and the horse bandits must have pulled out the camp, and the tactics just now really don't work.

Since this is the case, Xie Shence naturally did not dare to fight with him anymore. There was only one He Ruoque here, and Xie Shence was not sure that he could not hurt a single person and kill all the enemies with four against twenty.

If you add two more Xie Shenwei, Xie Shence will be sure.

But if there is no if, Xie Shence can only avoid the edge for the time being.

After dawn, Xie Shence and the others rested for an hour.

At this time, the horse bandits should also just get up and will not move.

An hour later, Xie Shence and the others continued to move forward, of course, by making a detour to the west.

However, there are some things that you can't dodge.

It's like that song goes.

"You said that you wanted to escape, but you were destined to settle down"

Xie Shence and the other five encountered a team of twenty horse bandits.

You can't run away, on the grassland, it is impossible for five people to run more than twenty people, Xie Shence is now only two miles away from the horse bandits, it only takes less than an hour, you can be caught up, once you are approached, Xie Shence and the others are ready to put on a dead posture. There were archers among the bandits, and the number was generally more than half, which was a characteristic of the nomadic cavalry.

In addition to a pair of leather armor and two war horses, the most basic requirement for Xianbei people to become soldiers is a bow.

As a horse bandit raging on the grassland, the basic skill of archery is very solid. After all, those who can survive are the ones who shoot their opponents to death.

If you can't run, then let's fight.

Xie Shence gave Xu Luwei a knife and let her be at the back.

So Xie Shence urged more than 20 war horses to open the way in front, and with He Ruoque and Xie Di as arrows, they rushed towards the horse bandit squad.

Before that, the bandits had fired a constant signal arrow into the air. It's just that during the day, the light is not very noticeable. But the piercing sound of breaking the air must have been heard.

Quick.

The scattered arrows shot from the opposite side were easily pushed away by a few people, after all, the distance was too far, and the number of people was really limited, and the arrows falling from the face were far less dangerous than those shot from behind.

After two rounds of arrows, the two teams finally met.

He Ruoque roared, shot a horse bandit at the front, drew a scimitar with his backhand, and hacked another horse bandit to death, Xie Di dodged the knife in the head, waved his hand and slashed at the horse bandit's back, the leather armor was torn, and a huge wound appeared on the horse bandit's back. Immediately, the scimitar of Sheti intersected with the scimitar of another horse bandit, and there was a piercing crash.

Xie Shence cut down an oncoming horse bandit with a knife, and then narrowly avoided the tip of the second horse bandit, but was cut under the armpit by the third horse bandit.

Mr. Yang was much more flustered, but although he didn't kill one person, he managed to save himself.

After a round, the only person who was injured was Xu Luwei.

The Erli person's Grade A tag man had a deep wound on his left arm, visible to the bone.

Xie Shence ignored Xu Luwei's tears, turned the horse's head and shouted, "Go behind me." ”

And so the second round of the charge began.

This time Xu Luwei rolled off the horse, and her thigh was slashed.

This round was not as fast as the first round, and there was a lot of stalemate, so Mr. Yang and Xie Di were both injured.

Mr. Yang's martial arts were not very good, and even Xu Lu was choked enough, so he was naturally injured. Xie Di was injured because he saved Xie Shence.

He Ruoque killed five people in this round!

The number of horse bandits on the opposite side was reduced to eight.

Four against eight, the odds are greater.
