Chapter 19: The Wasp's Lair

The Black Eagle thieves shouted and cursed and were about to chase, Bai Qi shouted, "Don't chase, let him run!" ”

The Black Eagle horse thieves stopped the commotion and looked back at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi flipped his hand and took out a bone spear, stared coldly at the fleeing man, and waited for him to run more than twenty meters, and the distance from him was stretched to nearly seventy meters, and then he suddenly launched a charge.

Bai Qi, who launched a charge, even dragged out a series of afterimages behind him, swept a distance of twenty meters in the blink of an eye, and stomped his left foot to the ground fiercely......

"Boom!" In the thunderous loud noise, Bai Qi's left foot sank into the rocky ground of the Gobi Desert three inches deep, and even the horse thief seven or eight meters away seemed to feel a shock from the earth, and Bai Qi's figure with an afterimage suddenly became still.

No one saw that at the moment of the sudden stop, Bai Qi's body twisted slightly and rapidly, and the huge force generated by the charge and the sudden stop was transmitted to his right shoulder.

Following this force, Bai Qi waved his right hand fiercely, and at the same time, a faint blood-colored light flame rose from his arm......

The force of the charge and the powerful throw produced a force that combined to send the bone spear in his hand, slicing through the sky like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he leaped seventy meters behind the fleeer.

The escapee didn't react at all, and the bone spear pierced through the chest, and the huge force carried him out of a distance of nearly three meters, and pinned him to the ground.

The man was immortal for a moment, and he let out a terrible wail, and struggled in vain.

In the man's dying wail, Bai Qi walked back to the little wasp thief leader he had interrogated earlier, and pointed to the man who was fixed on the ground in the distance. asked, "Is he Li Liansheng?" ”

The man's face turned pale and he nodded repeatedly. Bai Qi asked again, "Is there any boss still hiding?" ”

The man shook his head again.

Bai Qi pointed to a stone pit in the distance and said, "Go, wait there." ”

The man honestly ran to the pit and squatted down.

Bai Qi beckoned again, and called over from the little leader who had just stood up automatically......

I asked three more people in a row. Bai Qi drove all the minor leaders back into the group of captives.

He had gotten what he wanted to know.

After a while, Qin Qing and Huang Mao rode out of the canyon with the horse thieves who were in ambush at the east entrance of the canyon.

The horses they rode were all warhorses that had been scattered by wasps that had been gathered in the canyon.

Calculating the number, in this battle, there were more than 400 war horses collected alone, plus Bai Qi's own more than 1,500 war horses, which was almost enough for more than 700 black shadow thieves and one person and three horses.

Half an hour later, the horse thieves who had been sent out to drive the horses also drove more than a thousand horses through the canyon to converge.

Bai Qi let the captured wasp thieves take care of their wounds and assigned each of them a horse. They were escorted to a grassy beach fifty miles to the west.

After arriving at the grass beach, Bai Qi arranged for some of his subordinates to guard the captured wasp thieves, some to herd horses, and the most elite part to rest together without leaving their hands, armor, and horses, just in case.

After the arrangements were made, Bai Qi summoned a few masters and told everyone the news that he had interrogated a few small leaders, "...... In order to seize Moon Lake, the Wasp Thieves almost poured out of their nests. There are only about 100 horse thieves left in the lair, but Huang Mazi has a black heart, and his subordinates never leave the old, weak and disabled, so the more than 100 horse thieves in the lair are all strong. ”

"The nest of wasp thieves is surrounded by mountains. But the mountain is not dangerous, it can stop the cavalry, but it can't stop people from crawling on foot. We can send the elite to enter the village and open the gates of the stockade. And then a surprise attack. ”

"In that case, there is no need to take all the brothers with you. As long as two hundred elites, it is enough to take down the empty stockade. ”

Seeing that a few masters nodded in approval of their ideas, Bai Qi said to Barrian: "You and Tie Niu will stay to guard the prisoners, and the other masters will follow me to the Yellow Horse's lair, and we will take twenty sturdy little leaders, two hundred elites, one person and three horses, and we will be back in four days." ”

Barian and Xiao Tie nodded.

After resting on the grass beach for a night, the next morning, Bai Qi, Qixing, and Xiao Tie, the three masters, with twenty agile little leaders and two hundred elites, one person and three horses, galloped towards the wasp thief's lair.

After two days of trekking, the group finally arrived near the oasis where the wasp thieves' nest was located in the afternoon of the next day.

Bai Qi led his men around the road in front of the oasis and made a final rest in a valley more than ten miles away.

After settling his subordinates, Bai Qi took a few bosses and small leaders to the oasis to reconnoitre.

The topography of the oasis where the wasp thieves nest is located is very peculiar, it is a mountain basin surrounded by mountains on the Gobi Desert, the basin is about forty or fifty square kilometers, the basin is surrounded by five intersecting mountain ranges, and only one valley about two or three hundred meters wide leads to the outside world.

These four mountains are not tall and steep, and they are easy to climb on foot, but if you are riding a horse, you can only access them from the valley in front of you.

The Wasp Thieves built a stone wall in the middle of the valley, and it was in the middle of the wall that a wooden gate was built to choke the only access to it.

Behind the gate there was a small camp with seventy or eighty horse thieves stationed.

On the west side of the basin, near the east of the highest mountain range, there is a spring under the highest mountain, forming a pond of nearly half an acre in size, and on the west side of the pond there is a small stream, which runs through half of the basin, forming a lake of nearly twenty acres in the lowest part of the eastern part of the basin, and the stream and lake nourish the basin, making the basin and the outside become two worlds.

Due to the obstruction of the mountains, the wind and sand on the Gobi cannot be blown into the basin, and the water vapor in the basin is not easy to disperse, so that a relatively humid microclimate is formed in this basin.

The nest of wasp thieves is built on the east side of the basin by the great lake, which is the most abundant place in the basin.

The wasp thieves' nest is small, consisting of dozens of houses and a huge training ground, and there are many livestock pens on the periphery of the houses, most of which are empty, and some of them contain mares and foals.

There were not many horse thieves in the lair, about thirty or so people were lazily toiling, tending to the horses, cutting the pasture, and a few sturdy horse thieves fishing by the lake, but it seemed that this was more of a pastime to them than it was practical.

After observing for a moment, Bai Qi waved his hand and led everyone back to the resting valley.

Through Guò's observations, Bai Qi confirmed that the group of captives were not lying. (To be continued......)
