The Hongwu Army and the Longquan Army were stationed in the open space in the city.

Shang Yin got out of the carriage and found that there were many traveling merchants dressed in Liao costumes.

The architectural style of the whole city is also completely different from that of Beihanguan, which is a relatively low earth and stone building, one door and one household.

There will also be a little grit in the wind, which will make people's faces a little painful.

Xiahou Ba was alone, taking Shang Yin and Han Han to the city wall of Xijin Pass.

The two of them looked at the yellow sand in the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

"This is the climate outside Xijin Pass, which is elusive, if there is no perfect preparation, these horses we bring are not enough for the thirteen thieves to swallow in one bite, I have asked people to find out the strength, number, and deployment of each of their dens. "Xiahou Ba's soldiers and horses, although they have wind spirit wings and are supplemented by wind horses, they still move forward slowly and unhurriedly along the way, but Xia Jie's soldiers and horses arrived a day earlier.

"It seems that most of the places outside the border are sinister. Shang Yin sighed lightly, and he stood on the city wall, looking ahead.

"Now that spring has arrived, there is more and more commerce between Liao and Xia, unless some caravans with strong elites can be spared, and many other scattered people, if they are unlucky, they will definitely die. "Xiahou Ba really wants to make a meritorious contribution this time, at least let these horse thieves in Moxikou not dare to come out again in a short time.

"The Thirteen Great Thieves, it is rumored that the most powerful people are in the Seven-Star Immortal Body Realm in their early years, and they are very likely to step into the Eight-Star Immortal Body Realm at any time. Shang Yin's brows were furrowed, he had seen some of the resources given by the Golden Immortal Servant.

"Don't worry, people of their level won't attack us easily, after all, although they are crusading against them, there is no existence in the Immortal Body Realm, if they make a move on us, how can Hong Wujun be vegetarian, if they really retaliate, they can't stand it. Xiahou Ba laughed.

"What do you say?" Shang Yin was a little surprised.

"The thirteen thieves know very well that they will always be retaliated against for doing these things, and the death of some people is nothing to them, how can they kill me and Xia Jie for the sake of their bandits? Xiahou said domineeringly: "On weekdays, small fights, whether it is Xia or Liao, everyone will not care, but if there is really a high-ranking person who dies in their hands, it will not be the result......"

As soon as the words fell, Shang Yin saw a team of people coming slowly in the wind and sand in front of him.

I saw these people riding on horses, their heads had been cut off, they had arrows on their bodies, they had swords and gunshot wounds, and hundreds of people were brought back by horses.

"This is what you call a petty fight?" Shang Yin saw this scene, and there was an uncontrollable anger in his heart, and he clenched his fists.

"......" Mo Xikou is also the first time he has come, Xiahou Ba saw the scene in front of him, and his heart was also angry, which was simply provocative: "What's going on? I haven't heard of this happening on weekdays." ”

"This is a team of traveling merchants from Liao, a total of about 800 people, with a group of top players, two days ago I was going to return to Liao, I saw that it was robbed by the thirteen thieves, and the ordinary horse thieves couldn't help them at all. At this time, Xia Jie also appeared on the city wall, and he arrived a day earlier than Xiahou Ba.

"I've never heard of them before, they will do such a ruthless hand?" Xiahou Ba's face was also a little gloomy, although he was not a citizen of Xia Kingdom, but the cruelty of these bandits' methods showed that it was general.

"It is reported that on the way from Liao, they were plundered by a small group of thirteen thieves and killed all the other party, this situation should be retaliated by the other party, of course, this is just my speculation. Xia Jie said slowly.

"Oh? It's really arrogant, robbing others by yourself, and not allowing others to fight back, so domineering, I really want to see it. Shang Yin couldn't help but feel angry.

"Brother Shang Yin, don't be impulsive, it's not too late to do it when we finish collecting information. Xiahou Ba hurriedly said.

"That's fine. Shang Yin also knew that blindly doing it would not do him any good.

In the next few days, one after another, many headless caravans came, and it was very miserable, and even some women were raped and then killed, stripped naked, and then put on horses.

In the caravan, there were many relatives of the people of the city, and some of them recognized their own children and wept and looked frightened.

Seeing this scene, Shang Yin had an indescribable anger in his heart.

"Is this just revenge? Could it be that the news that we are coming to crusade against them has been known by the horse thieves of the Thirteen Great Thieves? They are provoking us, right?" Shang Yin's face was extremely cold, and his eyes could kill.

"This time I sent troops, I will definitely kill these horse thieves in Moxikou, so that they don't dare to shoot for several years. "Xiahouba is also in a very bad mood.

On the third day, a person from the Spirit Body Purple Realm of the Thirteen Great Thieves was in front of the city wall, and said in a loud voice: "Dare to kill my brother, this is the end, all the traveling merchants will give me a good dog, don't be too arrogant, otherwise, the consequences are not something you can bear......

Thousands of feet away, Shang Yin happened to be standing on the city wall, and immediately hooked the Heavenly Eagle Spirit Bow, set up a shield piercing arrow in his hand, and did it in one go, his eyes moved, locking the horse thief.

"Whoosh!"

Piercing the shield and arrows blended into the wind, the horse thief specialized in sound arts, and he hid in the wind and sand, and he couldn't see the situation on the city wall clearly, so he couldn't dodge it at all.

Click!

An arrow broke his brain, pierced his skull, his body turned backwards, the posture was very weird, the whole person was lying on the horse's back, dead and blind, and the horse under his feet quickly turned around and fled.

Xia Jie raised his eyebrows, Shang Yin did what he wanted to do.

He asked himself if his eyesight was superhuman, but today the wind and sand were pervasive, and he could only see a vague picture of that situation, and then distinguish the position by listening to the voice, but he never thought that Shang Yin had already made a move.

It's obviously just a Spirit Orange Realm, but being able to shoot such an accurate arrow and kill a Spirit Purple Realm is something that few people can do.

Shang Yin, who has cultivated the "Ten Thousand Wood Roots" and the "Eastern Emperor Heavenly Heart Sutra", has a strength far beyond that of people in the same realm, and his eyesight is even more than ordinary people, especially when he condenses his liver.

"It seems that this move will only anger the horse thieves of the Thirteen Thieves even more, and the traveling merchants are afraid that they will suffer. Xiahou Ba said solemnly.

"Even if I don't do this, do you think they will be merciful when they make a move?" Shang Yin looked at Xiahou Ba and asked, "How is the intelligence gathered?"

"Thirteen thieves of horse thieves, there are hundreds of thousands, in Moxikou they have thirteen dens, covered in the wind and sand, on weekdays they are a team of every hundred people, each team will not be more than ten miles away, there are wolf smoke arrows, once a team is attacked, there will be a thousand people within a radius of ten miles to come to the rescue. Xiahou Ba handed a map to Shang Yin and said solemnly.

"Brother Xiahou, what are your plans?" Shang Yin asked, knowing very well that relying on his own strength alone was far from enough.

"Tomorrow, the elite of the Hongwu First Battalion will attack their den closest to Xijin Pass, I don't know what the prince thinks?" Xiahou Ba looked at Xia Jie, they would be looking from afar on the city wall these days, watching the climate change in Moxikou and observing the changes in visibility.

"With the strength of the first battalion of the Hongwu Army, it must not be a problem to take the first den, you surround the point, I will come to help, if there are other dens to help, hand it over to me. Speaking of which, his age is less than twenty-two years old, ranking fifth, because he is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, he was established as the crown prince, and he has several elder brothers, but when it comes to cultivation talent, and power skills are not as good as him.

"Okay, then it's decided, Brother Shang Yin, what are your plans?" asked Xiahouba.

"What can I plan, when the time comes, you are the big target, they will all rush towards you, I will hide in the dark, and specialize in shooting those horse thieves with high strength. Shang Yin smiled and said.

For several days in a row, there were countless people in Xijinguan, shrouded in fear, but many traveling merchants from the Liao Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom had to go to Donghua City, which was the border city of the Liao Kingdom.

"If we continue like this, we're all going to have to drink the northwest wind. ”

"Since the beginning of this year, these horse thieves have become more and more rampant. ”

"We have to live too, and if no one suppresses these horse thieves, what are we going to do?"

There are many traveling merchants in the city, and they are worried.

"Don't worry, I am Xia Jie, the prince of Xia Kingdom, tomorrow we will send troops to recruit the horse thieves in Moxikou, when the time comes, you will go together, take the official road, with us, presumably they will not dare to attack you easily. Xia Jie heard the complaints of the people in the city, and immediately said.

"Prince Xia Jie?"

"Great, that way, we can have peace of mind. ”

For a while, hundreds of people in the city thanked one after another, for them, life needs money.

Especially for the people who relied on the trade between the Liao State and the Xia State, once it stopped for a long time, they would have nothing to eat.

The horse thieves have not stopped since the beginning of spring, and many people have given their lives for it, and for some reason these days, they have become more frequent. In the past, they would not have robbed and killed the traveling merchants so intensively, which made many people afraid to leave easily, but once this cargo dragged on, the more worthless it became.

Soon, the news spread in Xijin Pass, and most of the many traveling merchant teams were more than ten people, dozens of people, and hundreds of people, and they knew very well that this was an excellent opportunity, and it was more dangerous to scatter around.

Many traveling merchants gathered and prepared to set off behind the soldiers and horses led by Xia Jie and Xiahou Ba and rush to Donghua City.
