Two days is not a long time.

The caravan had entered a mountainous area, with towering mountains and dense forests nearby.

The caravan's march did not slow down, but accelerated. This is the strategy of the caravan, you must not stay overnight in the dense forest, and at the worst, you must find an open field, otherwise it is easy to be raided by mountain bandits.

Han Xiaomei's sister and brother sat in the carriage, bumping and turning, but gritted their teeth and endured. There is no way, there are mountain bandits on the road ahead, and if you are not in a hurry, it will be dark, and it will be easy to become a live target.

Yun Yi's feet were relatively fast, and the carriage was galloping, which did not affect him in the slightest.

"Phew!"

"Stop!" there was some panic in front of the caravan, and the carriages stopped one after another.

Someone said: "Gather the carriage quickly, unrelated people are hiding, and some mountain bandits are coming." ”

This sentence immediately attracted criticism.

"Isn't this that you haven't approached the mountain bandits' den yet, why did the mountain bandits appear?"

"This is to catch us off guard, hurry up and hide. ”

The Han family siblings jumped off the carriage, and Yun Yi hurriedly turned the carriage. The caravan was a little messy, but the order was still there. The carriages gathered one after another, forming a line of defense. The vendors and coachmen hid in the defensive line.

The twenty or so dart masters hurriedly carried the goods.

At this time, Yun Yi noticed that some carriages were not loaded with goods, but with blades. It's not an ordinary sword, it's a long-range attack weapon like a bow and crossbow. These things can be used to block mountain bandits, even if they are attacking cities and plundering land.

It's going to be a war. Yun Yi sighed.

The Han family sisters and brothers relied on him, but they were not afraid, and they had already trained the courage of the sisters and brothers in these years of wandering career.

"Don't be afraid, these dart masters should be strong. Yun Yi said.

Han Peng looked at him, his small eyes narrowed like a crescent moon, and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, you won't be afraid, right?"

Yun Yi smiled bitterly.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the road ahead, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them, fifty or sixty of them.

Yun Yi looked over and saw that the dust was flying, and the mountain bandits were wearing light armor and killing like cavalry.

Yo, the mountain bandits have become different, and they will do this trick, awesome. This outfit alone costs a lot of silver.

"Shoot the arrow!" this is the voice of Zheng Shulin, the head of the dart master. The arrows rained down into the ranks of the mountain bandits.

Two or three people were hit by arrows and landed, while the other mountain bandits were not affected and were still galloping. A stone's throw away, to the fast horse, in an instant.

The dart master picked up the chain crossbow, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly pulled the trigger.

Puff puff! A series of arrows into the flesh. Blood flowers bloomed on the body of the mountain bandits, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground. But there are still more than 30 mountain bandits, and they have already killed the dart master.

The dart master abandoned the crossbow and held the sword, and met the enemy. The two groups fought together.

Yun Yi wondered, why didn't the dart master talk to the mountain bandits, as soon as he came up, he would fight, what was the doorway inside.

Someone in the crowd said: "Look at their style, everyone feels unwise, but it's not." These five lotus peaks, one after another, there are many mountain bandits. Talk, how to talk, all want benefits. So you have to try the caravan's fire. ”

"The caravan is not stupid, it must show its own heritage, and it can't be looked down upon by the mountain bandits. This leads to the current situation, everyone weighs the weight of the other party, and then it is good to speak. ”

There is also this statement, Yun Yi understands it, and he will not continue to watch the battle. Now it's a temptation, and it's not time for the real kill. Wait.

The mountain bandits came and went quickly, leaving behind ten corpses, and the mountain bandits withdrew. These dart masters were also brave, and they were attacked suddenly, and there were no dead people, only three of them were slightly injured, but they did not hurt the overall situation.

Yun Yi has already seen the strength of these dart masters, it is very good, it is really good, the average strength of thirty people who have reached the middle level of the Martial Sect is by no means a weak team. No wonder you dare to take this dart, this is fearless.

And, until now, they haven't used their backhand, just conventional means.

The caravan regained its formation and continued to move forward, as if the previous attack by the mountain bandits was just a misunderstanding. Not in everyone's eyes.

Han Peng sat in the carriage and danced excitedly: "Brother Yun, these dart masters are too powerful, I also want to practice martial arts, just like them." ”

Yun Yi encouraged: "If you have ambition, you will protect my sister in the future." ”

"Let's protect together. "Han Peng is a childish word, but it makes Han Xiaomei embarrassed.

Yun Yile's straight smile.

Through the dense forest in front of me, an open field finally appeared. It's not big, but it's big enough to set up camp. The caravan can't go any further, and the next thing will be a mountain bandit den. It must be repaired before hitting the road.

At this time, the dart master issued a strict order: "No one should leave the caravan without permission, otherwise he will be designated as a mountain bandit and will be killed." ”

It is already close to the mountain bandits' den, and if someone really reports the details of the caravan, or does something to it, this caravan will really face a catastrophe. The guardiness of the dart master is not unreasonable.

Everyone also thinks about themselves and honestly stays in the defensive circle. What's more, these dart masters have already shown their strength, and they don't have the courage to obey them.

The night passed in a hurry.

The caravan did not hit the road immediately, and the dart master began to arrange tasks for the coachman. The task was not very large, and that was to install a shield and erect a plank on the side of the carriage.

It's not a hard job. Yun Yi took a bundle of planks, erected them on the side of the carriage, and fastened them with iron nails.

The planks are not tightly placed, and there are quite a few seams in the middle. However, the number of planks is limited, so we can only settle for it. At this moment, Yun Yi admires these dart masters very much.

They actually used a full ten carriages to transport these things, and considering the density of the matter, people were not convinced.

The caravan is on its way. At this time, the caravan looked like a wall, moving slowly.

A gorge appeared in front of it, flanked by slopes. This kind of place is best for sneak attacks.

When the convoy reached this point, it began to slow down, the carriage changed formation, and unrelated people stood in the center of the convoy.

"One thousand taels, half a finished product. "I don't know where the sound came from, and the canyon was full of echoes.

The caravan did not stop, and Zheng Shulin, the head of the big dart, shouted: "Five hundred taels, no goods." "It's a bargain.

"Eight hundred taels, a truckload of goods. "A total of 100 carriages, half of which was five, has now become one, which can be said to be a relief.

"Two hundred taels, half a car. Zheng Shulin replied.

"Deal, unload. There was an echo in the mouth of the gorge. Zheng Shulin is also refreshing. The goods were unloaded and a bag of silver was thrown on the goods.

And that's just the first force, and there are several more to come. It's hard to say how much of this shipment will be left in the end.

The caravan continued to move forward, no one stopped it, and it was not attacked secretly, and it seems that these mountain bandits are still more credible.

In fact, if you think about it, these mountain bandits eat perennial food, and they offend the traders at one time, and no one dares to go to this place, which is equivalent to cutting off the way to make money. As long as they are not stupid, as long as they are not too profitable, the mountain bandits will not do the business of killing chickens and taking eggs.

Another point is that these mountain bandits want goods, and they can't digest them themselves, so they have to sell them. It is impossible for them to completely cut off contact with these vendors.

The second wave of mountain bandits came, and they were sent away for only five hundred taels of silver, and they didn't ask for goods.

This lightened the atmosphere of the caravan a lot.

Further on, you can enter the center of the Five Lotus Peak. A third wave of mountain bandits appeared.

For the second time, everyone met the bandits head-on. It's just that the momentum made everyone's hearts suddenly burst out, and they became nervous for a moment.

On the mountain road, a black wooden plank stands in the way. There was also a hole in the plank.
