The lair of the bandit leader Home.

In addition to the three bandit leaders pinning down Faisal in the East, there are also six horse bandit leaders here, including Holm, Ruth, Mars and others.

Everyone was waiting for news, when a strong man in armor strode through the cave with a giant sword and reported to the six horse bandit leaders: "Leaders, our eight hundred cavalry have all been assembled, as long as the leaders give an order, we can immediately enter Faisal's territory and seize their outposts!" ”

A horse bandit leader waved his hand and said: "What are you kidding, now on this big night, what are we talking about killing into Faisal's territory, the men and horses of the caravan are still living in place, we can only kill the caravan station!" ”

Several horse bandit leaders began to talk in a low voice, Holm and Ruth glanced at each other, Ruth said: "It is really difficult to predict what kind of variables will happen if things drag on any longer, we originally expected that the caravan would be raided by Faisal in the area of Sallo Mountain today, who knows that the caravan did not move its position at all today, in my opinion, it is better to strike first, take advantage of the dark to raid the caravan's camp, empty the goods before dawn, and then divide the goods, even if Faisal finds out afterwards, there is nothing we can do!" ”

Ruth's proposal was immediately approved by one of the bandit leaders, but another of the bandit leaders objected, "Ruth, do you think that only if you have installed a fine work among Faisal's men, you can guarantee that Faisal did not arrange spies under our men?" Maybe we've just decided to raid the caravan's camp, and haven't officially launched a raid yet. The news was known to Faisal, and according to the distance between Faisal's lair and the caravan camp, we simply did not have time to leave with the goods. Then it will be a bloody battle! Perhaps by the time we raided the caravan camp, Faisal had already attacked us with his men."

The situation that this leader said could not be ignored, and as long as they decided to do so, it was very likely to become a fact, and the leader of the horse bandits who had just agreed with Rustiyì no longer supported Ruth at this time, and Ruth himself felt that this was indeed a bit hasty and stopped talking.

But Holm took it to heart. After thinking about it, he immediately shouted, "Bring me the map!" ”

The bandit leaders didn't know what Holm was looking at the map for, but his men quickly brought over a large sheepskin map, which was too crude. Perhaps only those who drew this map by hand could understand it.

Holm looked up after studying the map for a while, and with a smile on his face, he said to several other bandit leaders, "Guys, maybe we really have a way to grab the goods of this caravan. And Faisal had nothing to do. We can only watch us snatch the goods away! ”

Mars, the leader of the black horse bandits, was anxious and immediately asked, "What way?" Speak, Home! ”

Holm turned his head and asked Ruth, "Where is Faisal's army now?" ”

"According to the information I received earlier, Faisal's men have not moved, and have not been ambushed in the area of Sallo Mountain as we expected, but have been staying in the lair!" Ruth didn't understand why Holm was asking this question, he had already informed them of the news.

"Good!" Holm pounded the table, pointed to the map, and said, "Look! ”

The bandit leaders immediately gathered around. Holm said, "Now Faisal's men are all in the lair, if we sneak up on the caravan. Even if Faisal soon got the news and led the men and horses to this side, if he wanted to come as fast as possible, he would have to pass through the Soul Stream, right? ”

The leaders of the horse bandits couldn't help nodding in agreement, the falling soul stream is a passage, the left is a cliff, the right is a vertical ninety degree mountain wall, the whole road is halfway up the mountainside, the terrain is very dangerous, in the area of three mountains and thirty-six villages, if you want to go from west to east at the fastest speed, it is the fastest to walk the soul stream, and although the soul stream is hung on the mountainside, its road is much wider than the sheep intestine trail on some mountains.

The corner of Holm's mouth smiled and pointed to the location of the Falling Soul Stream: "We have already arranged a few people here to prepare a large number of mountain rocks on the top of the mountain wall, originally planned to wait for Faisal to grab the goods and lead the team back, blocking his way back, but now it is not needed, you said that if we order the people here to push the mountain rocks down to block the passage of the Falling Soul Stream before the official decision to raid, can Faisal still come?" If he wants to lead the men and horses to the camp of the caravan, he must clear the mountain road of the fallen soul stream, or take other paths, which cannot be completed in a short time, and the other paths are not only difficult to walk, but also the terrain is even more dangerous, and by the time he arrives with the men and horses, we will have already slipped away with the goods! ”

Holm wasn't done yet, his plans were much more than that, he wanted not only the goods, but also Faisal's head. After Holm's words fell, the other horse bandit leaders did not speak, and the scene was very quiet, but soon someone broke the silence, and the black horse bandit leader Mars slapped his head and shouted: "This method is good, why didn't I think of it?" ”

"Hahaha......" Several other bandit leaders all laughed, as if they had now killed Qin Dong and the others, and carried the goods back to the cottage.

When the leaders finished laughing, Holm said in a deep voice: "If you think there is no problem, then we will start working immediately, so as not to delay the time and other variables appear, I wonder what you think?" ”

"I agree, just do it!"

"I agree!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

The other five bandit leaders, including Ruth, agreed with Holm's decision, and they decided to raid the caravan tonight, but before that, they blocked the passage where Faisal led the team to rob the goods, the Soul Stream.

The order was quickly given, and Ruth used carrier pigeons to convey orders to several of his men in the Fallen Soul Stream, telling them to push the rocks down and block the passage of the Fallen Soul Stream, so that Faisal and his men could not pass.

Then the six chiefs descended the mountain together and gathered at the bottom of the mountain, and the eight hundred cavalry ready for the surprise attack were ready, and these horses were all the belongings of their six chiefs, if this vote failed. Then it will be very difficult for them to turn over.

The team set off quickly, all cavalry, and not far away. They didn't have any logistical preparations to do, they just had to prepare horses and weapons, so after Holm's order, the six horse bandit leaders quickly headed for the caravan's camp with eight hundred cavalry.

As soon as there was a move here, Faisal on the other side of Katani Hill got the news, and he was furious when he learned the news, "These people are not small. I even want to preempt this king, come and pass my orders. Leave a hundred people to guard the cottage, and the others will follow me to grab the goods! ”

At this time, one of the guards reminded: "Chief, didn't the Dao Chief say that you should not go out of the territory today?" ”

"It's the middle of the night, and by the time we get out of the territory, it's already tomorrow. I can't care about that much. We must not let that shipment fall into the hands of those nine centaurs, if they get it, they can use the money to recruit troops after they sell it, and we will no longer have an absolute advantage, which I will never allow! Faisal said aloud, preparing his armor and weapons as he spoke.

The guards could only comply: "Yes, chief, the villain will give the order immediately!" ”

But he said that Faisal had just come down from the mountain. Preparing to quickly rush to the caravan camp with a large group of men and horses, it was a cavalry galloping at a gallop and panting and reported: "Chief." The big thing is not good, someone pushed down the rock from the top of the Falling Soul Stream, and the rock blocked the mountain road of the Falling Soul Stream, and the team of people and horses couldn't get through at all! ”

"What? Bastard, bastard! Faisal was furious when he heard the news, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fell off his horse, this news was too terrible, after the Fallen Soul Stream was blocked, he and his men and horses could not clean it up in a short time, and after cleaning it up, he also knew that it would be a few days, and the method of cleaning up the mountain road would not work at all.

"Take the path, yes, take the path!" Faisal remembered that the Falling Soul Stream was not the only way, there was still a path to go to the caravan's stationing place, as long as the marching speed was fast, it was entirely possible to arrive before the nine horse bandits snatched the goods, and this qiē depended on the caravan's protective ability, if the caravan's protective ability was strong enough to resist the attack of the nine horse bandits, Faisal would have time to rush over, if the caravan's defense ability was too poor, he would pounce even if he rushed over, but Faisal didn't want to give up, things were not to the point of despair, Anything can happen, the caravan can be escorted by close to two hundred people, are those people vulnerable?

After making up his mind, Faisal immediately led his men and horses to the caravan's camp, and when Charlie Cao learned the whole thing from the horse bandits who stayed behind and hurried back to his cave, the little boy saw the pity on his master's face, and asked aloud: "Master, what is wrong with you?" What happened? ”

Charlie Cao shook his head and said: "Faisal is finished, this guy forgot my warning to stay here honestly, but now he is running with a large team of men to rob the caravan, if the master calculates correctly, he will definitely never come back!" ”

After hearing this, the little boy said with a surprised face: "Master, how is this possible, Faisal has more than 500 people in his direct line, and there are still 26 villages of people and horses who obey his dispatch, how can he never go back?" ”

Charlie Cao sighed: "According to the news that the master just heard, the mountain road of the Falling Soul Stream was deliberately blocked, do you think who did it?" The people of the caravan will definitely not do it, blocking the mountain road, they will not be able to pass guò, this must be the other nine horse bandits sent people to do it secretly, just to prevent Faisal from leading the team to pass here, Faisal with a large group of people and horses want to rush to the caravan's camp must take a small road, this takes a long time, it depends on luck, but also depends on whether the caravan can withstand the attack of the nine horse bandits, if it is me, I will not attack the caravan first, but ambush on the side of the road and wait for Faisal and his men and horses to appear, and then suddenly kill, Faisal would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die, but Westerners obviously wouldn't use it like that, so Faisal could take a large group of people to pass Guò safely.

After Faisal arrives at the caravan's camp, there may be three situations, first, if the leader of the nine horse bandits is bold and leaves the goods alone, but lies in ambush nearby and waits for Faisal and his men to appear, and then kills from behind when Faisal goes to grab the goods, Faisal and his men and horses will be wiped out nine times out of ten, this is a situation that may occur when the nine horse bandits capture the caravan, and it is very likely to happen, Faisal has been king and hegemonic in this area for too long, The other bandit leaders had long wanted to get rid of him, how could they let go of such a good opportunity this time?

Second, the nine horse bandits grabbed the goods and left after capturing the caravan, and Faisal pounced on it, but thought that the division analyzed, even if this situation appeared, someone would change it, these nine horse bandits were the most resourceful and ruthless, and he was a figure who would be retribution, he would definitely fight Faisal there against all opinions, and try to kill Faisal as much as possible, and the area from his lair to the caravan's station was a big road, and it was much easier to get reinforcements than Faisal, So Faisal's odds are very small!

The third situation is what I want to see the most, and it is very likely to happen, when Faisal arrived with his brigade, the caravan's camp was not breached by the nine horse bandits, and the united nine horse bandits finally had to retreat because of the great losses, I speculate that the leader of the caravan is likely to give up the goods and retreat with the men and horses to hide, so that a huge fat head becomes an ownerless thing, and Faisal gets this piece of fat, But will the nine combined horse bandits who have attacked the caravan camp all night be willing to watch this piece of fat being snatched by Faisal and remain indifferent? They have already suffered heavy losses, and if they let this fat head slip out of their mouths again, won't they lose all their money? Therefore, the teacher speculates that these two parties will definitely fight to the death! ”

After Charlie Cao finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and the little boy hurriedly asked, "Then in the master's opinion, who is the big winner in the end?" ”

Charlie Cao smiled mysteriously: "Who do you think is the big winner?" ”

The little boy scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Master, could it be that the caravan will be the big winner in the end?" After speaking, he frowned and said: "But they are a caravan, even if Faisal and the other nine joint horse bandits fight to lose both, he finally came out to pick up the cheap and kill those people, but there are still many people in their respective cottages, will these people let go of the caravan?" ”

Charlie Cao knocked on the little boy's head: "Did you just think that the caravan would kill them all, didn't you think of other ways to solve this problem?" ”

After being knocked a few times, the boy suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I see! (To be continued......)
