Heizi crossbow, this is a nickname given to sunspots by people in the rivers and lakes in the outside world, of course, Ding Li didn't know these before, but it does not affect the status and influence of sunspots in the rivers and lakes. A few years ago, when the Cao Chamber of Commerce had not yet fully risen, the seventeen-year-old sunspot had made great achievements in the large-scale expansion of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, but gradually disappeared from the stage with the low-key of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce.

An elusive man in black, a short crossbow that takes people's lives from invisible, a few years ago, the sunspot crossbow was a death code on the rivers and lakes, because of his appearance, the target has never had a chance to escape.

As for how Li Shan met Kuroko, it can be traced back to a chance encounter a few years ago, after Kuroko sniped a group of bandits who tried to rob the convoy of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, but was attacked by the bandits' crazy counterattack, and dozens of people turned around and pointed the finger at Kuroko.

Kuroko's assassination methods are indeed terrifying, but if it is a head-to-head confrontation, Kuroko's ability is only mid-to-upper class at best, not to mention facing a group of red-eyed bandits. But the sunspot back then was too young, and he tried in vain to confront that group of people with the strength of one person, and finally almost lost a small life.

Later, he encountered the dart team of Miao's dart game in the escape, and the bandits quickly lost and fled after confronting Miao's dart game. However, although Li Shan and Kuroko's friendship is special, they get along very little, only two days, and then the two lost contact, and even blurred each other's appearance for several years.

Now, Ding Li was much more relaxed along the way, and the old friends seemed to have endless words to say, and the two of them were also extremely happy, and even laughed and chatted about meeting each other in the rivers and lakes and forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes. This gave Ding Li a lot of time to think about other things, and even after walking for a while, Ding Li directly gave up his mount and jumped on a train, lying on his back on the cargo box and enjoying the sun.

But it didn't take long for a sharp sound of arrows to be heard in front of the convoy, and the entire convoy was shocked, almost at the same time, the thirty guards sent by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce on both sides of the convoy immediately pulled out their weapons and rode their horses around in place, scanning everything around them with a vigilant expression.

The performance of the dart masters in the Miao dart game was even more exaggerated, especially the thirty dart masters equipped with short crossbows, who actually left the team at the first time and rushed straight to the front of the team, and began to line up in three rows at the same time. Because they recognized a little bit from the news sent back by their companions in front of them, and used the ringing arrows to convey the news, indicating that the scouts sent out by their families had encountered the ringing horses, that is, the bandits and bandits.

But then, there were two screeching sounds in front of him that were slightly different from before, which surprised all the dart masters, including Li Shan, and even after a short period of stunnedness, Li Shan suddenly exclaimed: "It's not a ringing horse!" There can't be so many people in Hibikima! Everyone.. ”

"Whoosh."

Another sound of breaking the air came from the front, and even in the breeze, there was a faint whistling, but Li Shan, who had not finished speaking just now, was suddenly stunned, and then the fear in the depths of his eyes slowly emerged, and he shouted in surprise: "Three hundred!" Three hundred! Attention everyone! It must be a roaming army of thieves! Fuck it! How can there be so many thieves! ”

At this time, Ding Li also sat up from the cargo box, put his hand on his forehead to block the sunlight and looked ahead, turned around and jumped off the ground, and listened to the ground with his ears attached to the example of several dart masters, but the slightly frowning brows were quickly twisted together.

"Li Darttou, there are not so many people, it is estimated that the brother in front of him missed for a while and released an extra arrow!" A dart master quickly got up from the ground, and his face did not have the panicked look just now, shouting at Li Shan on horseback, and at the same time did not forget to find a reason to excuse his companion.

Immediately afterwards, another dart master stood up, took the words of his companion and added loudly to Li Shan: "That's right! Li Darthead, at most 200 people, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, a little chaotic, but not much, only more than 100 people! ”

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the words fell, a sharp sound in front of him seemed to refute the judgment of the two dart masters, which made Li Shandu a little uncertain, and turned his head to look ahead, but he never saw the shadow of half of his companions. Tanma went out too far, three or four miles, but this was also to find out the situation ahead in advance, which was true, but Li Shan had an ominous premonition in his heart for no reason, and even doubted his previous decision.

"Brother Li!" Ding Li jumped up and walked quickly towards Li Shan, when Li Shan saw Ding Li's tightly locked eyebrows, his inner uneasiness became thicker, and he hurriedly jumped off the horse to meet Ding Li, and asked urgently: "Ah Li, how is it?" ”

Ding Li glanced at the sunspot who jumped off the horse and stuck his ear to the ground, and then explained to Li Shan in a deep voice: "The situation is not good! The sound of horses' hooves is indeed not much, but it can be judged that there must be footsteps mixed with it, I'm afraid, I'm afraid. ”

There was no more alarm ringing arrows ahead, and Li Shan knew that it was definitely not that the arrows carried by his dart master were not enough, but as Ding Li guessed, he might have been poisoned by the enemy.

"Brother Li!" The sunspot behind Li Shan got up from the ground, his face was solemn, and at the same time he shouted Li Shan, he had already turned around and walked to his mount, and while crushing a box of crossbow arrows on his waist, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone prepare, the news from the front should be right, four hundred, at least four hundred, maybe. ”

There was a crisp sound of 'click', and after Kuroko stuck the crossbow arrow into the crossbow groove, he raised his head, glanced at the people around him with a hesitant face, and finally said his judgment: "Maybe more... ”

"Impossible, how could it be! Recently, the bandit army just formed by General Yang has begun to patrol this area, how can there be 400 bandit troops gathered together! Li Shan didn't believe it at all, or didn't want to believe this fact at all, all the combat strength of his team added up to only a hundred, and listening to Ding Li and Li Shan's analysis, his side was about to face four or five times as many enemies.

"Let the brothers prepare, we still have the strength to fight!" Kuroko patted Li Shan's shoulder expressionlessly, but his tone was very calm, and then he walked to the side of a truck to look for cover, ready to show his skills later.

"Brother Li, get ready!" Looking at Heizi's actions, Ding Li no longer doubted his judgment, took a deep look at Li Shan, and quickly walked to his mount, lifted the Qin crossbow hanging diagonally on the saddle, and then carried the crossbow arrows full of quivers behind him, and then carried a Tang knife, and then began to scan the surroundings to find a suitable location.

As a dart head who has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, Li Shan can be regarded as a desperate life after half a life, even if what happened surprised him a little, but he quickly got out of the shock, quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, and soon locked the target on a small hill located about half a mile northeast of the official road, and the straight-line distance between that hillside and the official road is also about one hundred and fifty steps.

"Quick! The convoy is back, go over there, up that hill, coachman, coachman! Hurry up! Li Shan made a decisive decision, stood on the spot and waved the horse whip in his hand and commanded loudly: "Zhang's brothers, you go first, our brothers from the dart bureau stay first, and you escort the convoy over quickly." Temporarily block with a truck! ”

"Kuroko! You go too, take a look at the terrain first, and get ready for sniping! Since Heizi and Li Shan are also old acquaintances, Ding Li is not polite, and shouted at Heizi lying on the cargo box, and then said to Li Shan: "Brother Li, you stay and command the convoy and brothers to retreat, lend me ten people, go to the front and have a look!" ”

"Okay, Ali, be careful!" At this time, Li Shan was not polite to Ding Li, and he also knew Ding Li's ability, so he nodded without hesitation, and then turned his head and shouted at the thirty guys with short crossbows in front of the convoy, but the words were forced down when they reached their throats, and then they turned around and shouted at the convoy that turned around: "Hurry!" Fast! Hurry up! The thief army is coming, and the action is sharp! ”

Sure enough, everyone who heard Li Shan's shouting subconsciously turned their eyes to the front, and a faint dust and smoke had already appeared in front of them, but they hadn't seen any figures yet, but even so, no one would think that it was smoke and dust blown by a gust of wind.

This can make those drivers who are driving the car anxious, almost no one cares about sitting on the car anymore, they have jumped to the ground and pulled the reins, no longer the cattle pull people, but people drag the livestock, but after all, the car is full of goods, and the role it can play is also very limited.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, be careful!" Heizi, who jumped on the mount, didn't dare to delay any longer, shouted at Ding Li and Li Shan, urging the mount to jump out towards the small hillside, and at the same time shouted at the guards of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce: "Come a few people, hurry up!" ”

Heizi still has a certain status in the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, even no less than Zhang Mingzhi's close confidant Zhang Wu, after all, Heizi has always been by Uncle Xiang's side, and almost no one knows those Zhang's guards, when even a few people chased after him from the convoy.

"Go, in the woods over there, ten people, five bows, five crossbows!" His eyes swept around again, Ding Li pointed to the woods about two hundred meters in front of him and shouted, then looked at Li Shan and explained: "Ambush, wait for a sneak attack on the thief army, and buy a little more time for the convoy to return, after all, you have to tidy up the hillside!" ”

"Good! No problem! Li Shan immediately understood what Ding Li meant, turned around and made a few gestures to the dart master in front of him, and then reminded the dart master who had just left: "Remember not to fight hard, just sneak attack to stop it, and then retreat, if you don't have a chance, don't come back, when will it be over, or go back to Fuxu Town directly!" Don't risk it! ”

The scale of the smoke and dust in the distance has expanded several times in the blink of an eye, and the convoy has just just turned around, although Li Shan's face is full of anxiety, but after having the arranged ambush to stop the thief army, his heart is also a little calmer, at least he can block the convoy on the hillside before the thief army arrives.

"Ali, this situation, you see. How sure are you of it? Li Shan and Ding Li rode side by side at the back of the convoy, looking around, Li Shan looked at Ding Li with some confidence, after all, it was several times his own power, and Li Shan had to worry about the final result.

"Fifty percent!" Ding Li's eyes continued to observe the surrounding situation, and after arranging the ambush just now, Ding Li's heart suddenly tightened for no reason, lest the thief army on the opposite side also have an ambush, so in the face of Li Shan's inquiry, he just responded casually.

However, this sounded more like a perfunctory answer, but it made Li Shan feel a little more relieved, and at the same time remembered that more than half a month ago, Ding Li had also led him to fight an encounter that also seemed to have a huge disparity in strength on the surface.
