Since receiving the news that the prince of Dali has brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry into Western Xia. The horse bandits of Xiping Mansion, out of greed for money, sent spies one after another to confirm the news in the places where Duan Yu and his party passed.

After confirming that the Dali horse team that entered Western Xia, the number was less than 100 but it carried nearly 100 black money boxes. These bandits were very excited, and they pulled out the main force of the team, hoping to get a bargain.

The horse bandits who dare to fight the idea of such a horse team are all horse bandits' dens with more than 100 horse thieves. If you don't have some capital in your hands, how can you get the tiger whiskers of the Dali family? But when the horse bandits gathered, they found that there were too many people staring at this fat sheep.

They all eat together in the Xiping Realm, and these horse bandits naturally know their respective strengths. Even if they are used to the law of the jungle, they don't want to be the front line as cannon fodder while they are surrounded by wolves.

Engaged in robbery on horseback all year round, these horse bandits know very well. This prince from Dali dared to bring so many jewels into Western Xia, and he thought that he was also a little dependent.

Even if you can't deal with the raids of thousands of horse bandits, you still have no problem dealing with one of them. This means that the first horse bandit to attack will definitely pay the heaviest price.

If there is only one team that comes tonight, maybe they will steal the property of the Dali horse team at any cost. As long as you can grab these gold, silver and jewelry, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit outlaws who will join the horse bandits?

But everyone gathered here, even if the horse team at the head captured the camp of the Dali horse team, it would inevitably be blackened by other horse teams. It was this fear that caused the assembled bandits to stop a few miles outside the camp.

Seeing that time was wasting a little bit, some horse bandits who came from afar had already rested. Even after a long rest, they felt a little cold and panicked. After all. They came to rob, but they didn't dare to light a fire to keep warm.

Watching many horse bandits shouting for action, among the horse bandits who participated in the robbery tonight, the three horse bandit leaders with the largest number of people. In the end, it was decided that everyone would share this fat sheep together. After the deed is done, the spoils are shared according to their respective exploits.

This means: Whoever contributes the most in the next battle is entitled to share the most abundant fortune. Speaking of which, the chances of the three of them taking the lion's head are undoubtedly the greatest.

As for the other small bandits, they are planning to come over and get some cheapness. The agreement reached by the three leaders was also quickly agreed. It was only when choosing the vanguard that the three of them quarreled again.

In the end, it was a small leader, who stepped forward and said: "Three big leaders, I think this will continue." It's just a waste of time. No, we'll draw lots. There are a total of seven horse teams tonight, and whoever draws the shortest will take the lead! ”

Although this idea was a bit of a joke, the three big bosses all approved of this method. In the end, the horse bandits who came up with the idea found dead branches and made seven sticks of different lengths, and the other six leaders drew them first.

When the seven of them opened their wilted branches, a leader with less than 200 horse bandits under his command was given the task of taking the lead. In the face of this unlucky luck. With so many people watching, he can't regret it even if he wants to.

Fortunately, everyone had already discussed it. If the casualties are too large, the horse team that leads the way can end up with half a share of the spoils. With this promise, the leader could only return to the horse team with joy and sorrow, and inform his men to prepare for their departure.

Hearing that there was finally no need to stay on this plain to blow the cold wind, those horse bandits who rushed to grab money and kill people also moved their bodies and turned over on their horses. Wait until seven teams. The three largest horse teams were in charge of the formation, and the thousands of horse bandits headed straight for the camp in front.

With the sound of thousands of war horses running, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was lying on the quilt and hugging the two women, immediately turned over and said excitedly: "This group of people is finally here." Let's go! Let's see what tricks these horse thieves can pull up to! ”

Just as Cho Hyo-seok lifted the tent and walked out. The guards patrolling the camp also heard the sound of horses' hooves running. The guards who immediately whistled and quickly hid in the tent to rest all rushed to their respective vigilant areas.

Looking at Duan Yu and the others who got out of the tent, Zhao Xiaoxi turned over and turned around and said, "Third brother, the safety of the camp will be handed over to you." Rest assured, these rabble will not break through the defense line I have laid.

If the third brother is interested, wait for me to go out of the camp to kill the enemy. With so many people, just my subordinates, it's really a bit choking to kill! Qing'er, you are responsible for taking care of them, so don't go out of the camp at will. ”

Although nominally, Duan Yu is the commander of this team. But everyone knows that the real leader of this team is Zhao Xiaoxi, and everyone must obey Zhao Xiaoxi's command and dispatch for tonight's counterattack.

After Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing nodded separately, they stood on a high place in the camp, looking at the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came from. As for Zhao Xiaoxi, he patted the war horse under him, and led dozens of archers to the only passage.

As the sound of horses' hooves approached, even if the vision was not good at night, thousands of cavalry galloped on horseback. How much made Mu Wanqing and the others a little frightened, feeling that so many people rushed over, and they could be trampled over by horses' hooves alone.

But is that really the case?

Looking at these horse bandits that were gradually becoming clear, Zhao Xiaoxi took out an iron bow from his horse and took out three iron arrows wrapped in oilcloth. Let Wu Wei ignite it with a fire fold, take a deep breath and shoot them separately.

Watching the three rockets fall down the hillside in turn, it didn't take long for the rockets to close accurately, and they were already piled on the dry pyre outside the camp. As the rocket acts as a trigger, the dry wood of the three fires also burns brightly.

With these three piles of illuminations, whether it was Mu Wanqing and the others watching from the camp, or the archers at Zhao Xiaoxi's hand. The capital feels that his vision is much wider, which allows the archers to hit the target more accurately in the next counterattack.

As the horse bandits who took the lead, they also saw rockets flying down the hillside. When they felt that this small Dali horse team had really made sufficient defensive preparations, many horse bandits also realized that it must be very risky to take the lead.

Knowing that in this case, no matter how much you say, it is redundant, since you participated in this robbery. In any case, they don't give up halfway. The leader of the horse bandits, who soon took the lead, directly ordered to rush forward.

Their task as a vanguard was to clear the barriers from horses rushing into the camp. Although the workmanship of these barriers is crude, the sharpened railings will still pierce the people and horses that collide with them.

The task of the leading bandits was to break these barriers or move them to the other side, clearing a road to the camp for the large army behind. As long as the large army rushes up, the people in the camp will only be killed.

But everyone knows that to clear these obstacles, it means that you have to stop. Those camp guards will definitely not let them easily break these horse barriers, and will naturally attack, which means that there will be casualties.

Don't look at these inconspicuous but incapable cavalry as rough horse rejection obstacles, and they are also afraid of them. can meet a martial arts master like Zhao Xiaoxi, who is good at using long weapons, and can completely pick it up when sprinting to make it useless.

At the end of the day, any auxiliary defense tool has a specific defense object. These horse rejection barriers do not work for people like Cho Hyo-seok, but they are very effective against these horse bandits. The speed of the horses is limited, and they can only fill it with human lives!

Seeing that he was about to enter the range of the bow and arrows, the leader of the horse bandits immediately waved his sword and ordered: "Stand up the shield, rush over and smash the horse barrier." ”

The bandits, who were all armed with shields, immediately rushed forward with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, slowing down their horses slightly. What the leader of the horse bandits didn't know was that his whereabouts had already been exposed with his voice just now.

Although the horse bandits were a little far away from Zhao Xiaoxi and the others at this moment, Zhao Xiaoxi still reached out from the quiver, pulled out a sharp iron arrow made of fine iron, slowly pulled the iron bow full, and let go of the hand holding the arrow.

The iron arrow was like a black light, and it went straight for the leader. The leader of the horse bandits, whose vision was obscured by his shield, soon heard the guards around him exclaim: "Great boss, be careful! ”

But with the sound of the guard, the iron arrow shot by Zhao Xiaoxi was already instantaneous. Despite being well prepared, the iron arrow slammed directly into the iron wooden shield of the big boss.

What was shocking was that this iron arrow, which had been shot from at least three hundred paces away, had penetrated the iron shield. The stunned leader of the horse bandits pierced the shield with an arrow directly pierced through the body, and then shot through the body of the leader in light armor, and shot him heavily under the horse.

This sudden shock, even the horse bandits who followed him, did not have time to react. He could only let the horse's hooves go, and the leader who fell under the horse stepped on the horse twice.

The leader of the horse bandits, who had been engaged in horse thieves for many years, never imagined that he would be the first to be killed in tonight's raid in such a humble and swift way. It's a pity that from the moment he went down the mountain, this fate was already doomed.

Before they could reach the place where the barrier was placed, the leader who led the command died. This kind of blow is undoubtedly a heavy blow to these horse bandits who have taken the lead. Without a leader, they will only be swallowed up by other bandits.

Perhaps it was Zhao Xiaoxi's arrow, which was like a flying fairy in the sky, which provoked the fire of anger in their hearts, and these horse bandits immediately shouted: "Avenge the leader, rush in and kill them!" ”

The idea is good, but the reality is very cruel. Zhao Xiaoxi, who shot the first arrow, reached out and took out three iron arrows to take the bow. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Order, after entering the firing range, you can shoot freely!" ”

As he gave this order, the Wuwei archers who were alternately lined up all pulled out the iron arrows behind their backs with their backs. Watching these horse bandits getting closer and closer, they launched their live target shooting tonight.

But at this time, many bandits who rushed into the horse barrier about 200 steps away suddenly found that the war horse under them screamed. From time to time, they stumbled back and forth, throwing them off their horses. What's going on? (To be continued......)
