After Qin Dong and Gebuus's caravan left, the leader of the horse bandits, Ruth, did not give up his attention to these two caravans, he concluded that there must be other horse bandits who couldn't help but make a move on these two caravans, not to mention others, only the hurricane thief's Faisal would not give up such a large piece of bread, he knew Faisal too well, Faisal would definitely do it to those two caravans.

With the strength of those two caravans, if Faisal makes a move, there will definitely be casualties, but with Faisal's strength, the battle will definitely be won, as long as the prisoners can be captured, and let the captives serve, Faisal's strength will be replenished, in fact, in addition to recruiting from the Arabs, Faisal's horse bandits are also captured by the guards of many caravans as prisoners, and the captives can only work for Faisal in order to survive after being caught, and over time, there will be no choice, so they can only die for Faisal.

This situation must be broken, Faisal has always dominated this three-regardless zone with great strength, and now this sudden appearance of a huge caravan has made Ruth see an opportunity to change the situation in this three-regardless zone! Take advantage of human greed, gather the other eight bandits together, deal with the hurricane thieves, kill Faisal, and the situation will be completely changed, and it will no longer be a situation where the hurricane thieves are the only one.

While Ruth was anxiously waiting for news, a minion hurried from outside, and this minion grabbed a pigeon and called out, "Chief, news has come from the east!" ”

Ruth took the pigeon and knew that it was a spy he had arranged inside the Hurricane Pirates, and he took out a thin strip of white cloth from the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet. Then he handed the pigeon to the little minion, opened the small strip of cloth and looked at it, only to see a whirlwind coming west on the small white strip of cloth. And in the east, a round rising sun shines on the earth.

The little minion saw clearly beside him, and was puzzled: "Chief, what does this mean?" ”

"It means that Faisal is ready to do it, and the time is tomorrow when the sun rises! Immediately contact the other eight chiefs, and say that I want to consult with them on important matters, and the location is set on the cottage in Home, which is closest to where the caravan is! ”

The little minion hurriedly agreed: "Yes." Chief, I'll inform them! ”

……

That night, Qin Dong and the others were on guard all night against being attacked. The hurricane thieves were relieved and bold to sleep and recuperate, and the leaders of the other nine bandits did not rest, but all gathered in one of the horse bandits' den led by Holm to discuss matters.

The horse bandits nested in a cave with different lengths hanging from the roof of the cave. Stalactites of different thicknesses. Occasionally, water droplets fall from the roof of the cave, and the stones that fall are struck into a groove by the droplets.

The walls of the cave were all uneven rocks, some of which had grown moss, and on the walls hung a dozen thick torches of pine resin, which illuminated the den of the bandits.

In this horse bandit's den, every few meters under the cave wall stands a horse bandit with a weapon in his hand, and in the middle there are eight fierce people in different clothes or squatting, standing or sitting.

It can be said that these horse bandit leaders are all from different ethnic groups. Among them were the Romans and the Germans. There were Huns, Byzantines, Goths, Alans, Franks, and even Slavs, all of whom had their own native language, but they all spoke Latin together, and they also popped out a few words of their native language, but everyone else basically understood it.

"Hey, Ruth, you hurriedly called me and us, but I didn't come until now, so slowly, did you lie on the woman just now and make your legs weak?" A horse bandit leader named Mars shouted when he saw Rus come in, Mars turned out to be a black man, this guy had a thick braid draped over his shoulders, more than two meters tall, stronger than a bull, his bare upper body was bare-chested and shoulder-bare, his dark skin reflected a bright luster in the light of torches, and when he spoke, he showed a neat and beautiful snow-white teeth, but the two thick upturned lips ruined the overall image.

"Hahaha......" The other seven bandit leaders all laughed.

Ruth shrugged his shoulders as he walked: "I'd rather lie on a woman's belly and toss hard, but now is the best time God has given us, if we miss it, we will be eaten to death by hurricane thieves all the time!" ”

After Ruth's words, the bandit leaders all stopped laughing, and it was obvious that Ruth's words also hit the sore spot in their hearts, and the local host, Holm, asked, "Ruth, what's the matter, do you want to fight with the Hurricane thieves and steal all the goods of those two caravans?" If that's the case, why did you let them go in the morning? ”

Holm was a thin Byzantine, and it was clear that his force would not be flattering, and the reason why he was able to occupy one of the nine great forces of horse bandits under the command of more than one hundred and fifty people was because he ate by his brain, not by force, and when he spoke, his eyes often showed sinister and viciousness, so that the leaders of the other eight horse bandits were jealous of him, and even kept away.

Holm committed a crime in the Eastern Roman Empire, killed people, and then fled everywhere, and in the process of fleeing, he used his cunning and ruthlessness to kill many pursuers and mercenaries who pursued him, and finally fled here to officially go up the mountain and become a horse bandit.

Not only Holm, but every bandit leader here, who is not the one who once had a story? For example, Ruth, Ruth used to be a warrior of a Germanic tribe, he fell in love with the daughter of the tribal leader, it stands to reason that in a tribe like the Germanic that worships warriors, a warrior like Ruth should be very popular, but unfortunately this tribal leader is an alternative, he likes wise people, and hopes that his daughter can marry a person with wisdom, so he strongly opposes the relationship between his daughter and Ruth, in order to be able to destroy the relationship between his daughter and Ruth, the tribal leader also framed Ruth and drove him out of the tribe, Ruth came to these three mountains and thirty-six villages in this way, and after some hard work, he finally became the leader of a group of horse bandits.

Ruth said, "You think I don't want to?" But the two caravans were guarded by nearly two hundred people, and I only had a hundred or so. If I rush down the hill to rob, it will not be them, but me! I don't want to live like this anymore. Our three mountains and thirty-six villages have been the strongest in the past ten years with the strength of the hurricane thieves, only they eat the leftovers, we can pick up and eat, sometimes we can't even drink the soup, guys, do you want to go on like this, do you just endure it like this? ”

Mars used his thick throat to make a beastly voice: "And what do you want?" Could it be that you invited all of us over tonight to join us in paying Sal? Don't think I'm stupid. Although Faisal only had 500 people, the other 26 small villages were headed by him, and the total number of people was not less than that of our Jiuzhai. If you really want to fight, maybe whoever loses will win! And why should we fight Faisal? Is it just for the goods of those two caravans? ”

Ruth turned his head to look at Mars, and said with a look of disdain in his eyes, "You don't know how much the goods of those two caravans are worth, do you?" My men had seen it with their own eyes when they were collecting the tolls, and the finished furs, woolen coats, and the big oak barrels of red wine. If you find a way to sell it, the money you get from selling it will be enough for a thousand people to eat for five years! ”

After Ruth's words. Except for Mars and the three bandit leaders, who gasped, Holm and the other three bandits who knew the truth agreed with Ruth's words in silence.

To say that in the past two months, the herdsmen under Qin Dong have gone from nothing to now being able to produce a large number of finished fur coats, it is indeed very not simple, those Xiongnu herdsmen did not know how to use animal fur to make fur before, not even tanning leather, thanks to Qin Dong from among the slaves selected the Romans who could tann leather to teach them to tann leather, and teach them to spin and weave. Only then is there a good situation in the manufacture of leather and wool products.

At this time, the leader of the host's horse bandits, Holm, twisted the mustache on his chin and said leisurely: "If you can put aside your previous suspicions and work together." It's not like we don't have a chance to kill Faisal and eat the goods of these two caravans, and it's up to you to have the guts! ”

After Holm's words came out, several horse bandit leaders were immediately ready to move, but others were still skeptical of Holm's words, after all, this situation has been maintained for more than ten years, and if it can be changed, it will not be delayed until now.

Mars was one of them, and he immediately asked: "Home, I don't like you to show off your intelligence, if there is any good way, say it quickly, if not, then I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go back to sleep!" ”

"Yes, Holm, just say it, it's not too early, and it's not easy for us people to come here!" The other bandit leaders then muttered a few words each.

Holm then said: "Actually, before you came, Ruth had already told me the news he had gotten, Faisal was going to wait for the two caravans on his territory tomorrow morning, as long as the two caravans appeared on his territory, he would start killing people and stealing goods, according to the current camping position of the two caravans and the normal speed of travel, those two caravans would appear in the area of Sallo Mountain before noon tomorrow, according to the terrain of that area, as long as Faisal arranged his cavalry on the slopes on both sides, When the caravan appeared, they rushed down the hillside, and the caravan's guards were afraid that they would be killed before they could react. Think about it, the number of guards of the two caravans is quite a lot, although there are not two hundred, but it is almost the same, Faisal wants to kill all those guards, at least five hundred people must be dispatched, according to his usual habits, it is estimated that two hundred people will be left behind in the nest, and there are one hundred people stationed at various checkpoints, he himself will send two hundred, and the other twenty-six villages will send three hundred, a total of five hundred people will come to rob the caravan, we want to kill Faisal this time, we must go all out, we have a total of 1,100 people, and use 300 people to fight the east side of his territory, Prevent the reinforcements that may come after the men and horses in the old nest get the news, and send people to quietly enter Faisal's territory and wait on the top of the mountain of the Fallen Soul Stream, and the other eight hundred people will attack him immediately after he has successfully robbed, he has only two hundred men and horses, and the other three hundred people are the men and horses of the other twenty-six villages, let's not say how many people they will lose after attacking the caravan, their people must be ecstatic after getting the goods, and relax their vigilance, then we will attack behind the back, we have an absolute advantage in strength, They must not be able to resist, they can only fight and retreat with the goods, or simply abandon the goods and flee, and we will follow the pursuit at this time, until they reach the Fallen Soul Stream, and Faisal's time of death will come! ”

After Holm told this plan, several horse bandit leaders immediately began to gasp, obviously tempted, and the eyes of these horse bandit leaders began to glow with greed.

At this time, Ruth asked, "Can you hold off Faisal's reinforcements with three hundred men?" You must know that he has a hundred people at various checkpoints, and there are still two hundred people left behind in the old nest, and there are about two hundred people left behind in the other twenty-six villages, and there are more than five hundred people in total, and it is difficult to drag them down with three hundred people, if they Faisal and the reinforcements converge, all the efforts we have done will be in vain, and there is another problem, although the terrain of the Falling Soul Stream is dangerous, but the road is very wide, in case Faisal takes his men and horses to the Falling Soul Stream, All the work we did was in vain! ”

Ruth's question was obviously also a question that several bandit leaders wanted to ask, and now that Ruth had asked it first, they all looked at Holm, hoping that he could have a good way to improve it.

Holm said with an expression that was under control: "The two problems you are worried about are not a problem, the three hundred people we sent to drag the reinforcements are not to fight with the reinforcements, but to try our best to stop them, delay time, and buy enough time for us to kill Faisal, and in the arrangement of the Fallen Soul Stream, although the road is very wide, if we send someone to infiltrate in advance to push the boulder down the mountain and block the road with a boulder when Faisal is leading the people and horses to pass Guò, I think he can get through Guò?" If he wants to get through guò, he must give up his goods and horses, and flee with his men over the boulder with his bare hands, so that the goods and his cavalry and horses are all ours, and how can half of his men fight us without horses? After that, his strength will be greatly damaged. As long as his strength is greatly damaged, will the people of the other twenty-six villages still listen to him? If I take the opportunity to buy those people again, Faisal will be isolated, and this is still the case where Faisal is expected to escape back, if his life is not good and he dies in this battle, we will be completely successful, and according to Faisal's character, do you think he will flee with his men and horses when he is attacked? I'm afraid that he will get angry and lead people to fight with us, and that is the best time for us to kill him! ”

Ruth, Mars, and the other six bandit leaders were all persuaded by Holm, and all of them agreed to send troops together to eradicate Faisal. (To be continued......)
