"Wolf smoke! It's wolf smoke! With the child's reminder, several timid men left on the edge of the nearest beacon tower had shiny eyes, as if they suddenly saw the light of hope when they were shrouded in death, jumped and pointed to the sky above the barracks of the Southern Navy, and shouted in a voice that was choked by thick smoke and slightly hoarse: "It's the Southern Navy!" It must be the Southern Navy coming! ”

"Yes! It must be the Southern Navy! Several old men in the town who gathered together also suddenly became excited, their trembling voices were extremely excited, and even when they raised their faces and clearly saw the billowing smoke floating over the Southern Navy camp, their eyes couldn't help but blur.

"Over there, over there, too! Wolf smoke, it is the Southern Navy, it must be the Southern Navy! At the same time, the women, children, old and young gathered in the open space in the center of the town were also excited, pulling each other and hugging each other, but there were few people who spoke and shouted, and it seemed that the sudden turn of events could no longer be expressed in words in words.

Completely different from the reaction of the people of Giethoorn is the horse thief who tried to raid Giethoorn Town, originally when they saw the wolf smoke suddenly rising in Giethoorn Town, this horse thief team was surprised, they knew that there was a beacon tower in Giethoorn Town, but they didn't expect that when it was still seven or eight miles away from Giethoorn Town, and even before they planned to show the flag, the blue-gray wolf smoke began to appear in Giethoorn Town in the distance.

It's just that since they left the cottage and came to this Giethoorn Town, for a professional team of horse thieves, the general situation is unacceptable to the fact of returning in vain, so under the order of the leading leader, more than 100 horse thieves ignored the wolf smoke warning over Giethoorn Town, and increased their efforts to urge their mounts, and seemed to want to take advantage of the lack of preparation in Giethoorn Town to finish this autumn wind smoothly.

"Raise the flag!" The black-faced strong man with a mace in his hand had a raging fire burning in his eyes, and he shouted without looking back, and conveyed the order to the subordinates who followed: "Show the banner of our Black Wind Cottage!" Those who dare to stand in the way will be killed! ”

"Yes! Eldest brother! Several of the horse thieves in charge of the flag also responded loudly, but the oncoming headwind blew all their voices to the back of their heads, but this did not affect them from offering the banner of the Black Wind Cottage hanging on the side of the saddle.

"Wow! Rushing! ”

A large flag with a whole body of black flags rose one after another in the wind, a total of four flags, with the superb riding skills of the horse thief in charge, lined up and lined up behind the leader, fluttering in the wind, the blood-red handwriting on the murderous black flags on the four sides was like a sharp blade stained with blood, and the belonging of this horse thief was completely displayed.

Black Wind Cottage.

A word on a flag, the words are sonorous and powerful, compared to the weapons in the hands of the horse thieves, the sound of breaking bones seems to be constantly sounded in the fierce wind, and the momentum of more than 100 horse thieves is quite shocking.

This time down the mountain is the big leader of the Black Wind Cottage, known as the black ghost Li Gui, a black face seems to have been deliberately smeared by toner, except for the white eyeballs that flash from time to time in the eyes embedded in the face, even the lips are like black charcoal, and you can't see any flesh.

It is precisely because of this special face that he can get the title of a bad-faced, but Li Ghost also has another nickname, Devil. It is said that even if you walk alone in the mountains and fields in the middle of the night, even if there are ghosts and monsters, you will be frightened and run away after seeing the face of Ghost Li.

Although the wolf smoke that appeared in front of him was expected by Ghost Li, the wolf smoke rose a few minutes in advance, but it also made Ghost Li have some worries in his heart, what is the combat effectiveness of the Southern Navy, Ghost Li has not understood, and he can't even inquire about this news, after all, the Southern Navy is just a new army that has not been on the battlefield.

Before the expansion of the Southern Navy, Li Gui did not have the idea of competing with the Southern Navy, after all, the eight hundred Southern Navy, guarding the huge military camp, Li Gui knew that it was completely impossible to fight against a regular army with a full set of standard equipment by relying on the rabble under his command.

But the current situation is very different, the South Navy has expanded, and more importantly, the South Navy has been divided into battalions, and it is a mix of recruits and veterans, a regular army that cannot be tacitly coordinated, for Li Gui, it is actually half a catty to eight taels compared with the rabble under his command, so Li Gui started the idea of the Southern Navy garrison in Giethoorn Town. Moreover, you can also fight a gust of autumn wind in Giethoorn Town, and go back with some loot.

Of course, everything was just wishful thinking on the part of Ghost Li, and when the Black Wind Bandits led by Ghost Li had been able to see the sign standing outside the town, a thick smoke not far from the side attracted the attention of Ghost Li's group.

It's just that this time it's no longer wolf smoke, but the overwhelming smoke and dust raised when a group of war horses gallop wildly, this scene is not unfamiliar to Li Gui, who was born as a horse thief, just the area covered by the smoke and dust, just at a glance, Li Gui can conclude that it is definitely a cavalry team of no less than two hundred people.

Li Ghost hesitated, he knew that the problem he was worried about a few minutes ago still appeared, and it was in front of him, due to the warning of wolf smoke, the Southern Navy battalion still sent troops, and it was only a few minutes away from his side, and the problem in front of Li Ghost was very tricky.

If they continue to rush into Giethoorn Town, Li Gui's group will naturally not be able to stand any obstacles, after all, his subordinates have inquired about intelligence, and the Southern Navy is currently busy expanding the military camp and rectifying the recruits who have just joined, and there is no garrison stationed in Giethoorn Town at all, and there is no patrol team here even on weekdays, so Li Ghost believes that entering Giethoorn Town can still gain something.

It's just that if he insists on entering Giethoorn Town to fight the autumn wind, Li Ghost understands that he will definitely be outflanked by the Southern Navy, and from the billowing wolf smoke that spreads all over the air, Li Ghost knows that the Southern Navy has definitely sent a lot of troops, and the three military camps have sent reinforcements.

Ghost Li wasn't worried that he would be caught, he was very confident in the mount named Black Wind Horse under his crotch, but how many of his subordinates who came out with him would be planted in the hands of the Southern Navy, Ghost Li couldn't estimate.

If it is placed in normal times, Li Ghost, who has always been ruthless and even reckless, will definitely not hesitate to order to rush into Sheephorn Town to loot and even slaughter, but now the Black Wind Cottage is also eventful, according to the news, it has been blacklisted by the bandit army led by Yang Hongwen of Guangzhou Prefecture, and more importantly, there was a large-scale conflict with the green forest heroes of Huojialing a while ago, and Li Ghost also killed Huojialing's big boss on the spot.

After weighing it again and again, the truth of the lesser of the two powers is still clear to Li Ghost, anyway, with the current reserve inventory of Black Wind Village, there is no shortage of autumn wind this time, so Li Ghost immediately changed his original strategy, raised his hand to signal his subordinates behind him to stop, and at the same time, Li Ghost took the lead in pulling the reins and stopped the mount in a hurry.

"Stay in place!" As the mount slowly rushed forward by inertia, Ghost Li turned around and shouted at the horse thief behind him, and then pointed in the direction of the Southern Navy with his glittering mace, and shouted: "Let them stop!" ”

This time the horse thieves who followed Li Ghost out are almost all Li Gui's henchmen, and there is no doubt about the professional quality, after Li Gui's order was issued, there were more than a dozen horsemen who had not completely stopped from the side of the queue, and skillfully pulled out the carved feather arrows from the back quiver, and took advantage of the situation to the bow arm.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Without any command, after the harsh tightening of the bowstring in his ears, one of them decisively released the five fingers that held the shaft and bowstring, and then there was a crisp rebound of the bowstring, completely suppressing the sound of the horse's hooves behind him.

Just looking at the action just now, these more than ten horses are definitely good at archery, and they are hard to shoot a carved feather arrow one hundred and sixty steps away, and it is as if more than a dozen people have discussed it in advance, more than ten feather arrows are lined up and inserted on the ground, even the distance between each other, are kept one step away, except for the white feather at the end of the tail is trembling slightly, the cold arrow cluster has been deeply buried in the ground.

"Over there! Alert! Li Gui looked at the row of feather arrows in the distance, his eyes were full of pride and even pride, and he waved his hand to the other side and gave a loud order.

Immediately after that, more than ten horse thieves jumped out from the other side of the team, and the movements of more than ten companions just now were exactly the same, on the ground of about one hundred and sixty steps, inserted a row of carved feather arrows, in the blink of an eye, Li Gui brought his own side out of the circle safely, he was confident that as long as there were no large weapons in the Southern Navy, beyond this distance on both sides, his side would definitely not be attacked by threats.

As the Black Wind Bandit was completely silent, the sound of rolling horses' hooves of thunder became clearer and clearer, and the cloud of smoke and dust in the distance, which seemed to be several feet high, became larger and larger as the distance narrowed, like a sandstorm that could only be encountered by chance in early spring.

Six hundred steps, five hundred and fifty steps, five hundred steps, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, but the thick smoke and dust became lighter and lighter as the speed of the cavalry team wrapped in it weakened, until the sun shone, a dazzling light penetrated the dust and smoke, and the whole moving smoke and dust also stopped, followed by a slightly dazzling light through the dust and smoke, turned into a piece, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered again into a stream.

The Southern Navy, which had set out from several miles away to carry out emergency rescue in Giethoorn, had finally arrived, and no one of the more than 200 people, including Ding Li, had a tired look on their faces, nor did they show the timid look when they were about to face a real battlefield battle, but only a sunny smile on their young faces, and the excitement when they could finally pick up arms and really fight.

After all, this can verify the harvest they have gained in exchange for sweat and hard work in the past two months.
