Encounter with bandits

The Iron Wolf Cavalry under Du Jin is the most elite cavalry unit in the Northern Xue Kingdom, not only are the soldiers one in a hundred elite soldiers, but the war horses under their crotch are high-grade war horses purchased by the prince from the northern grasslands at a great price.

Don't look at Du Jin with only five hundred iron cavalry, but Du Jin is confident that he can beat thousands of infantry with his five hundred subordinates.

Although Xue Ning's subordinates are also cavalrymen, in Du Jin's eyes, only with the inferior war horses produced by Xue Ning's subordinates in the Northern Xue Kingdom, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of his five hundred elite cavalry.

The same strength is still like this, not to mention that Du Jin has accurate news, the national capital has broken through, and the generals who are still with Xue Ning will not exceed two hundred people initially. The rest were either beheaded in the escape or scattered in a rout.

In fact, Du Jin still overestimated the strength around Xue Ning at the moment, and now there are only ninety-three soldiers available in Xue Ning's hands, and all of them are wounded, fleeing all the way to this point, not to mention the low morale, and even more sleepy.

In the final analysis, it was Xue Ning who proposed to retreat early, if it was for a period of time at night, Xue Ning and the others were blocked here by Du Jian's iron wolf ride, that is, Xue Ning was the reincarnation of Da Luo Jinxian, and in the face of such a distribution of enemies and friends at this moment, Xue Ning, who did not have the invincible cultivation in the previous life, was also a clever woman who could not cook without rice.

Du Jin quickly wanted to quickly pursue in the direction of the Giant Wolf Mountain Range, although he knew that the Giant Wolf Mountain Range was a dead end, but Du Jin was not sure, Du Jin only said in his heart: "If the three princes did not die under their own arrow, then with the wit of the three princes, it is very likely that they will choose the desperate road of westward expansion into the Giant Wolf Mountain Range."

In the eyes of mediocre people, westward going to the Giant Wolf Mountain Range is a dead end, but in the eyes of Du Jin and Xue Ning, westward going to the Giant Wolf Mountain Range is the only way for Xue Ning and his gang to survive at this moment.

Originally, with the horsepower of the iron wolf under Du Jin's command, it didn't take long to reach the Giant Wolf Mountain Range in the west, but the continuous fast horse attack took two hours, and Du Jin and the others still failed to reach the foot of the Giant Wolf Mountain Range.

Not only that, the keen Du Jin also found a terrible question: "Hey, this place seems to have been seen many times, has this place been here just now?" ”

Fast horses galloped for two hours, which was a great test for Du Jin's horses, even the mounts of the iron wolf were the highest level of grassland war horses, but you must know that the soldiers of the iron wolf were all wearing iron armor. The steppe war horse has been running for so long with such a heavily armed soldier, and it has reached the limit of physical strength.

There was no way, Du Jin could only order the whole army to slow down and advance slowly, this time, Du Jin kept an eye on it, and he ordered his soldiers to mark the bright places on the road, and then ordered the troops to move forward again.

After a while, Du Jin's face was gloomy, because Du Jin saw that the mark he had ordered someone to set up on the side of the road not long ago appeared in front of him and the others again. In this way, how could Du Jin not realize that he and the others were clearly circling in this area before, and it seemed that they had traveled a long way, but in fact they had not advanced an inch at all.

"General, look, that's the mark we just made, why did this mark come in front of us, isn't it that we've been just going around in circles here before? This~~ Isn't this a ghost hitting the wall? ”

One of the soldiers shuddered as he spoke.

When Du Jin heard such a soldier's words, his brows furrowed obviously, and then he shouted loudly: What nonsense! What the hell is hitting the wall, it's just that the terrain here is a little weird. After the order was given, all the soldiers dismounted to eat, first recovered their strength, and sent scouts to reconnoiter the terrain in the east and west directions, remembering, to make a mark every fifty meters. If you find an abnormality, do not act rashly and report quickly. ”

Du Jin is worthy of being a wise general, he deeply knows that in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, strange phenomena such as ghosts hitting the wall can disturb the hearts of the army the most, and the more times like this, the more he can't show panic or helplessness.

Sure enough, Du Jin's calm and calm momentum immediately affected the ordinary soldiers below, and the military spirit that was originally quietly floating gradually settled down.

Although the hearts of ordinary soldiers are fixed, Du Jin's heart is extremely heavy. This kind of thing is not imaginary, and even in some ancient books, there have been many such examples, Du Jin knows very well that this kind of thing is rarely encountered, but once encountered, it is extremely tricky.

Especially for the army, the most powerful thing about the iron wolf cavalry under Du Jin is their mobile strength, which can even run hundreds of miles in a day. The cavalry did not need to carry baggage, and each soldier only carried three days' rations with him.

Du Jin came out of the national capital, chased all the way to this place, the road has spent more than a day, at this time, Du Jian's dry food is only enough for two days, if Du Jin can take his subordinates out of this ghost wall within two days, then it will be fine, but if you can't go out, these five hundred soldiers, in this wilderness there is no heavy grain and grass, even the iron army will collapse because of the lack of food and grass.

Du Jin originally wanted to scout the nearby terrain on a large scale first, and he wanted to see if there was some kind of loophole in the ghost hitting the wall. But with the news brought back by a scout, Du Jin's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

No matter which direction the scouts sent by Du Jin headed, they would only end up walking back to where Du Jin was.

Seeing that a day had passed, Du Jin's subordinates were still trapped in the maze arranged by Xue Ning, the rations they carried were almost exhausted, and the morale of the soldiers was declining rapidly, and Du Jin's eyes were not about to turn red. But no matter what method Du Jin used, they just couldn't get out of this weird circle.

The maze arranged by Xue Ning was fundamentally different from the naturally formed confusion place. First of all, most of the records about ghosts hitting the wall that Du Jin saw in some ancient books were people who strayed into some naturally formed confusion places.

Heaven and earth are created, and some natural landforms sometimes have effects, such as psychedelic human eyes, which make people lost. In general, there are some blind spots in the naturally formed confusion place, and if someone who accidentally trespasses into it can find such a blind spot, they can get out of it.

The maze that Du Jin fell into at the moment was arranged by Xue Ning, and Xue Ning himself naturally would not arrange a blind spot for this maze. In fact, for secular people, the maze arranged by Xue Ning is almost a desperate formation.

Of course, because Xue Ning did not use the cultivation technique to arrange the formation, so this kind of maze is only the most preliminary Qimen Dunjia, and the formation here does not have the ability to change the space, it can only confuse people's eyes and make people unconsciously spin in place.

In fact, it is very easy to get out of such a maze, you just need to close your eyes.

Of course, the current Du Jin has been forced to distract his mind by this damn ghost hitting the wall, so naturally he would not have thought of such a method.

At this moment, Xue Ning and his party had successfully arrived at the foot of the Giant Wolf Mountain Range. In the distance, the mountain pass of the Giant Wolf Mountain Range was in the distance, and suddenly Xue Ning noticed that there were two forces facing you in front of you.

This discovery changed color when Xue Ning and the others changed color together, and they thought that there were ambushes under the Great Prince's subordinates ahead. But when they looked closely, Xue Ning and the others found that the two groups were not an army, and one of them could see that it was a caravan just from their clothes. On the other side, they are all dressed in rattan armor and holding wood-chopping knives. Looking at that posture, it is clear that it is a group of bandits.

If you realize that the other party is just a group of bandits, then you don't need to worry about anything at all. Although there were quite a few of them, forty or fifty men, they could pick up their equipment, and most of them had only hoes or pickaxes in their hands, and only a few of them had hatchets in their hands.

Originally, the dart master who accompanied the caravan was confronting this group of bandits, and suddenly everyone felt that the ground began to shake violently, and when they looked from a distance, they saw that the eyes of the people on the caravan side suddenly burst into a look of extreme excitement.

"Hold on, everyone, the officers and soldiers are coming! Officers and soldiers are coming! ”

Unlike the morale of the dart masters on the caravan's side, on the other hand, the bandits' faces changed drastically, and they didn't know who started it, these bandits immediately dispersed, and everyone fled in the direction of the giant wolf mountain range.

"Catch up and surround them!"

Xue Ning saw that when these bandits were escaping, they were actually heading towards the entrance of the giant wolf mountain range. Immediately, two rays of light suddenly burst out from Xue Ning's eyes.

The thieves fled with two sets of legs, how could they escape the pursuit of Xue Ning's group of cavalry. Soon, Xue Ning's subordinates outflanked the bandits, and after hacking to death several bandits who resisted violently, the remaining bandits surrendered in unison.

"Go, and bring out the leader of them, and bring him to me."

Xue Ning didn't participate in the pursuit just now, it was just dozens of bandits, if his soldiers couldn't even deal with bandits of this level, then Xue Ning really had nothing to say.

Soon, dozens of bandits were all tied up. Kang Hu brought a dark-skinned young man to Xue Ning's side, and Xue Ning knew that this person was the leader of this gang of bandits.

"What's your name?"

"Below, Bai Yu is the third master of the giant wolf cottage, this military master, I don't know why you killed my brother in the village."

In addition, Xue Ning was very surprised that the swarthy young man in front of him was a thief, and in the face of the official name, there was no fear on his face, and he was even more high. As soon as the voice came out, there was a faint tone of questioning.

The attitude of the swarthy young man almost made Xue Ning laugh angrily.

"Hehe, officers and soldiers catch thieves, you are thieves, we are officers and soldiers, is this reason enough?" Xue Ning looked at the swarthy young man with a smile on the corner of his mouth, although Xue Ning was smiling, but there was a faint cold light flickering in his eyes.
