Under the sun exposure at noon, the evaporation of water in the body of ordinary people can form a layer of mist on the surface of the body, and they will die of dehydration if they can't walk twenty or thirty miles. "Even if a cultivated martial artist or warlock can use true qi and spells to slow down the evaporation of water in his body, the consumption of physical strength is still very amazing, so the time to rest from one oasis to the next oasis is not only as simple as whether he can eat and sleep on time, but also involves a serious problem of whether he can survive.

The Gu family caravan was already moving slower than the ordinary caravan, although the ambush of Majiazhai and the ghost-faced spider was detected in advance by the Gu family caravan and carried out a perfect annihilation, but it still delayed a lot of time, which further delayed their arrival at the oasis to rest.

Raising his hand in front of his eyebrows, looking at the red sun in the sky, Gu Mengya didn't say a word, and didn't look back at the guards who were ready to go, but secretly cursed in his heart.

Gu Xinyi rode over on a three-eyed Xuanhu: "Are you worried?"

Gu Mengya smiled bitterly: "Yes! It's a big trouble!"

Gu Xinyi was also helpless: "There is no way to rest in the desert, we must move forward." ”

Gu Meng bowed his head: "It is worthy of a regular army, and the timing is not at the same level as the bandits." ”

At the same time, on the mountain wall of the Troubled Thorn Valley ten miles in front of them, about five hundred Great Qin soldiers lurked among them.

Except for the scattered oases, there is almost no grass in the rest of the desert, and most of the plants that can be seen occasionally grow close to the ground, and humans cannot lurk in them. The valley of thorns is an outlier, there is a kind of shrub called black thorn, shaped like thorns, which can be waist-high and vines, and people can hide their bodies when they lie down.

However, the thorn is not suitable for hiding, this thing is spine, no leaves and no flowers, although the sharp thorns cut the skin will not be fatal, but it will make people itch and pain, and as a rare vegetation in the desert, even if it is of no use to people, it is also the foundation of the survival of some creatures, such as its juice is the food of the sand aphid, which is part of the diet of the tin lizard, which in turn attracts the yellow-spotted dead wood snake.

The yellow-spotted dead wood snake is one of the seven poisons of the leaf, the fierce name is far and wide, but the number is scarce, often stay near the thorn bush for several days will not be encountered, if this can also gamble on luck, then in the desert galloping like flying, saliva has a very corrosive iron lizard is a frequent visitor to the thorn bush, walking in the thorn bush, less than three breaths will inevitably attract the attack of the iron lizard that is extremely sensitive to the body temperature of the organism.

But now, the Great Qin soldiers, who had already wiped out the dangerous creatures in the Chaotic Thorn Valley and applied medicine on the surface of their skin, knitted a cage of blackthorn rattans outside the Shanye clothing that covered their identities, squatting between the gaps in the cleared blackthorn bushes, motionless, waiting for the ancient family caravan to enter.

Meng Ke, the leader of the Great Qin general, squatted at the front of the team, his hands pressed on the ground, his eyes blazing, staring in the direction of Taniguchi, like a cheetah, ready to pounce at any time.

Suddenly, the sound of his clothes breaking through the air was heard in his ears.

Munch didn't look back: "Thor, how's it going?"

A man holding a cross cold light sword in each hand walked behind the burly man and whispered, "General, the other party is almost here." ”

Meng Ke said lightly: "Those gangs of bandits haven't done anything until now?"

Sol said: "It's time to do it, I see that the guards of the Gu family's caravan have traces of battle." ”

Meng Ke said in a deep voice: "How much has the Gu family caravan been reduced?"

Thor paused, "No." ”

Munch's shoulders trembled and he turned his head: "No?"

"Nope. Sol said: "The last generals will be cleared one by one, and the number of their personnel is exactly the same as when they stayed at the Haojie Inn. ”

Meng Ke sighed: "According to our previous investigation, there are quite a few bandits who plan to attack them, and there are quite a few masters among them, who originally expected to rely on them to consume the strength of the Gu family's caravan, but they can't think of it...... Alas!"

Thor gritted his teeth and said, "It's a shame that the Gu family has such a powerful force, and it is really an unforgivable sin to turn their backs on Tianchang. These mercenary merchants all deserve to die!" His voice sank: "General, what if, well, if we can't seize this batch of ordnance, I will reveal the news of the Gu family's smuggling of ordnance to the heretics in Shanye?"

Meng Ke said angrily: "Bastard! How can you have such a thought? The rebels are our enemies, aren't the heretics of Shanye our enemies? Do you want to betray Tianchang and throw yourself into the arms of the heretical evil gods!"

Thor bowed his head and said, "General, if we sneak into Shanye this time, no matter whether we succeed or fail, it is impossible to leave this evil country ruled by heretics alive, this is what you know. ”

As the leader of this operation, Munch naturally knew that he and his five hundred elite soldiers would definitely die after this battle. Due to irreconcilable religious contradictions, for thousands of years, Great Qin and Shanye have fought every three years and every ten years, and every family has relatives who died in the hands of each other, generation after generation, endlessly, this kind of hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow cannot be washed away even if the water of the seven seas is poured out, so once their deeds are exposed, they will face the encirclement and suppression of the whole country of Shanye, and it is absolutely impossible to cross Shanye and return to their hometown. However, as a genuine knight who has been brainwashed by the Heavenly Sect, Thor has no fear in his heart: "Everyone here knows, are you afraid?"

Thor looked pained: "Now that the rebels are getting stronger and stronger, even the Templars can't suppress them. And the weapons transported by the Gu family caravan this time are extremely powerful, if they reach the hands of the rebels, I am afraid that even the Holy City will not be able to defend it. ”

Munch said with a resolute face: "So we must destroy these ordnance at all costs, even if we die to the point of a single soldier, we must not give up." ”

Thor asked rhetorically, "But what if we can't destroy them all if they're all dead?"

"This is impossible!" Munch seemed to be greatly stimulated, and his face was distorted and he roared: "Thor! your thoughts are dangerous, your faith has been shaken, and the devil is breeding in your heart!

Thor's face became even more painful: "But General, the fifth chapter of the Book of Heaven clearly teaches us that the Celestial Commander will give us defeat as a test of whether we are pious. ”

Munch's face was slightly gentle: "If it is a long test, we just need to face it calmly and accept our fate." He raised his head, looked up at the sky with reverence, and made a cross on his chest with his right hand: "The heavens are watching all that is on earth, and heretics will fall into Hell forever, and your faithful servant Munch will follow your guidance and set out fearlessly on your destined destiny." ”

Saul was a little speechless, he was different from Munch, Munch was a nobleman, he had received a special Templar education, he was full of loyalty to the Heavenly Sect, and his faith was extremely firm, while Saul was a low-level general who had crawled out from the bottom soldiers, and the biggest function of faith came to him, and the biggest function was that when he went to the church every day to recite the scriptures, he could receive free porridge and tapioca cakes in the church, in the process, he saw the love and compassion of the church, and also saw the greed and meanness of the priests in the process of almsgiving.

There must be a difference between a person who only accepts that the world has light and a person who has seen the dark side of light. The former has religious fanaticism and purity that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, while the latter is more inclined to utilitarian problem-solving.

From Sol's point of view, even if Shanye gets this batch of ordnance, it will be impossible to capture Daqin, but if the rebels get this batch of ordnance, the sky of Daqin will be turned upside down. So it was better to let it fall into the hands of Shanye than to let it fall into the hands of the rebels, but unfortunately, Munch did not accept any compromise.

Munch saw Thor's entanglement, and calmly taught: "Thor, whether these weapons fall into the hands of the rebels or the heretics of Shanye, they will become murder weapons to kill my loyal servants, and there is no better way." We must have faith in Tianchang, Tianchang will bless us with victory, even if our group of people fails, the victory will definitely belong to the pious people of Great Qin. ”

Thor sighed, stopped fighting, and thought disheartenedly: "Forget it, I know the white anyway." Thinking of this, he cheered himself up: "Do you want me to inquire again?"

"No need. Meng Ke said: "There is nowhere to hide in the desert, and the ancient caravan is heavily guarded, so it is easy to find them by spying on them. Now that you know their route and numbers, prepare for the battle. ”

Thor was about to answer, when his eyes suddenly widened, staring at Taniguchi.

Munch was immediately alert, and then turned his head to look, only to see six figures appear at the mouth of the valley of Chaotic Thorns, which were none other than the Six Evils of Wushan.

Munch was shocked and angry, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out: "What are these six thieves doing here?"

Thor stared into the distance and said in disbelief: "These six people walk in such a strange posture, and their facial expressions are not normal. ”

Munch was awakened by Saul's words: "Yes, these six people are weird. However, even if he felt that the six evils of Osan were inappropriate, he did not dare to make a move, otherwise his body would be exposed, and the ambush would become a joke.

Between Munch and Saul's words, the six evils of Wushan have entered the Valley of Troubled Thorns, and the Five Evil Wang Bing and the Six Evils Zhang Qiang suddenly went crazy, pulled out their weapons and slashed indiscriminately, cutting through thorns all the way, cutting off all the thorns that could be reached along the way to the ground.

And the two evils Li Shan and the four evils Jiao Dali made a sound in their mouths, grabbed the broken black thorns with both hands, and threw them to both sides, as if they didn't know that the black thorns had thorns, and threw them happily.

Half of these black thorns were born, half of them were arranged for soldiers to be piled up in the valley in order to restrain the actions of the ancient caravan, and now they were inexplicably destroyed by the six evils of Wushan, and they were really angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.

Who knew that something even more intolerable to him was still to come, the Great Evil Lin Wei and the Three Evils Wu Zunsheng walked while looking around, and suddenly found that Meng Ke was hiding in the pile of thorns, as if he had found some novel toy, with a weird smile on his face, he ran over and dragged it out and smashed it to pieces.

Seeing this, Meng Ke could no longer hold back, these stacked carts were full of flammable and tobacco-making materials such as fire oil, sulfur, and wolf tobacco, which were sharp weapons to create chaos in ambush warfare, once they were turned over and thrown on the ground, how could they lure the Gu family caravan into the valley? At that moment, he was furious, and waved his hand: "Archer!"

With a swishing sound, a rain of arrows fell from the sky and sprinkled towards the six evils of Wushan.

Wushan's six evil martial arts are not high, and now they still seem a little crazy and demented, so they don't dodge or dodge, and let the arrows fall on them.

But something inexplicable happened to the Great Qin soldiers, the arrows fell on the six evils of Wushan, and did not shoot them into a hornet's nest as expected, but rebounded back one after another, ** to the ground, except for the clothes of the six evils of Wushan, the body was not half damaged.

Just as Munch was in shock, the Six Evils of Osan slowly raised their heads, their eyes shining with scarlet light, and they were not human.

"Demon!" On the top of the mountain, there were lurking Great Qin soldiers who shouted loudly, causing a lot of commotion.

Munch didn't care to scold the soldiers who were out of control, and shouted at the opposite side, "Priest Charlie!"

A dazzling white light rose from the opposite hill, and then a majestic voice came from inside: "Silence, servant of heaven, why are you afraid of demons? Look, the holy light will wash away all evil in the world!"

With a buzz, the white light turned into a curtain of light and fell from the mountain, enveloping the six evils of Wushan.

The Six Evils of Osan were bathed in the unique holy light of the Heavenly Sect, their scarlet eyes did not change, a low roar came out of their throats, and their bodies gradually swelled.

"This is impossible?" exclaimed in a majestic voice, "Any evil will be purified in the Light!Why don't you react?, what kind of monster are you?"

What answered him was six angry roars, the figure of the six evils of Wushan rose to the sky, grabbed the black thorns and climbed up, leaping like flying, before the person climbed the mountain, the momentum alone had already frightened some Daqin soldiers in panic, and stood up without waiting for Meng Ke to give the order, shooting arrows and spears, killing the six evils of Wushan.

The six evil monsters of Wushan screamed, running faster and faster in the face of the rain of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed up the mountain.

Meng Ke had no choice but to grab the cross gun next to him, soar into the air, stop Lin Wei and Wu Zunsheng, and the spear danced like a dragon, entangling the two of them.

Thor stood in front of Li Shan, his swords flying, not giving an inch.

On the opposite hill, Priest Charles showed his might, and bright and dazzling projectiles fell from the sky, enveloping Jiao Dali, Wang Bing, and Zhang Qiang, and beating them so that they screamed and could not advance or retreat.

With the passage of time, Meng Ke and the others found that the six evils of Wushan did not have any special skills, and their reactions were only at the level of ordinary soldiers at most, but they could not stand their thick skin and thick flesh and infinite strength, and the swords and spears stabbed them with little effect, which did not affect their actions at all, and it was very troublesome to deal with.

Although the movements of the six evils of Wushan are slow, but when they catch a soldier, their hands will be torn in half as soon as they are divided, and the five hundred soldiers of Daqin can compete with the three of Munch, Thor, and Charlie, and the rest of the soldiers will die next to each other and die if they rub together.

What made Meng Ke and the others even more depressed was that Charlie's spell suppression gradually failed, and his holy light bullet could only hurt the six evils of Wushan, but it could not cause damage.

Munch and Thor were able to hurt the enemy, but even if they were bloody, the other party seemed to have no pain, and continued to attack regardless of it, and the two of them were bound and in pain.
