Chapter 12: The Wolf Thief
Chen Qiuming liked Master Huang Yi's books very much in his last life, so of course, he is no stranger to Cihang Jianzhai, hearing the conversation between the two tonight, Chen Qiuming has a strong curiosity about Duanmu Xixi, who is about to appear in the rivers and lakes, this girl, is there any similarity or difference with the novel characters that Chen Qiuming has read in his previous life?
Chen Qiuming decided to go to Luoyang for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
Scold! It must have been an amazing experience.
Chen Qiuming didn't care about the other content he heard later, as for what "wolf thief" horse thief? Chen Qiuming was even more disdainful, along the way, Chen Qiuming had encountered three waves of bandits who blocked the road and robbed, and he didn't even have a decent master, most of them were ordinary people who were desperate and didn't know martial arts.
Chen Qiuming has been very disappointed with the bandits and bandits in this world.
But what he didn't know was that what he was about to face was a test of life and death.
The next day, the sun was shining, and the caravan continued to depart.
Chen Qiuming rode lazily and followed the caravan, the sun was hot, making people unable to lift their spirits.
Suddenly, a scream shattered the silence of the convoy.
Chen Qiuming looked at it intently, the overwhelming rain of arrows shot from the valleys on both sides, at this time, the screams had come one after another, I don't know who shouted, "wolf thief" came, and the caravan suddenly became even more chaotic.
At the beginning, the arrow rain did not pose much threat to Chen Qiuming, and he even had the kung fu to use a pair of meat palms to protect the war horses under him and the acquaintances around him, but in the next subject, Chen Qiuming was targeted by a clever archer.
Under the "perception" of the "Immortal Seal Method", an iron arrow was shooting towards him, and his power was not the same as that of the previous arrow. Chen Qiuming was still not in a hurry, and he only turned to one side, and he avoided it perfectly.
With a swish, the iron arrow had been inserted into the ground under Chen Qiuming's body, and the arrow body was more than half submerged.
Before Chen Qiuming could breathe a sigh of relief, three iron arrows came in the shape of a zigzag, and there was no way to let it go, otherwise, the war horse would definitely die, although it was not a BMW, but after riding for so many days, Chen Qiuming was still reluctant to let the horse be killed.
Chen Qiuming shouted, rose into the air, and slapped the iron arrow that was about to fall with one palm, "boom", and the strength of the palm slapped the iron arrow away, but the right palm was also numb.
Chen Qiuming was shocked in his heart, what a strong bow this is, it is so powerful, looking at it from afar, on the top of the mountain at a distance of about three or four hundred zhang, there is a person standing alone, holding a strange-shaped bow in his left hand, and pulling out three iron arrows in his right hand, aiming at himself.
Chen Qiuming understood that this person must be going to fight with him.
But strangely, the man put down his bow and arrow again, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The rain of arrows suddenly stopped, but the caravan had suffered heavy casualties, and the screams were incessant, and many of them had arrows stuck in their bodies, and although they did not hit the vital point, the pain was unbearable.
Chen Qiuming was a little confused, he didn't care about any wolf thieves last night, but at this moment the cruel reality was in front of him, these people were a group of real bandits who killed people without blinking an eye and had strong martial arts.
The bow that shot himself just now was at least a strong bow of more than five stones, not a master, and it couldn't be pulled away at all.
Under Chen Qiuming's "perception", these people are outflanking back and forth, in order to be afraid that not only the goods, but also everyone will be killed.
Chen Qiuming was a little hesitant, if he wanted to leave at this time, even if he was a master of the sect, he might not be able to keep him, his light skills, but even Xue Yang was amazed.
Otherwise, once the horse thief blocks the front and back of the valley, and there are so many bows and arrows, even if Chen Qiuming is good, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fly. But looking at the few "acquaintances" around me who have been bragging and farting all day long, as soon as they leave, these people are afraid that they will die.
Chen Qiuming estimated slightly, the entire caravan was about two or three hundred people, and more than half of them had been killed or injured just now, but most of those who survived knew martial arts, not without a fight.
At this time, Guan Jiongfei stood on a carriage and shouted: "Everyone listen, the 'wolf thief' is coming soon, all listen to my orders, use carriages and goods, block the front and back of the valley, in order to resist the horse thieves, Commander Li leads people to guard the back, I lead people to guard the front, the wounded hide in the middle, as long as we hold on for a few hours, the officers and soldiers will soon come to meet us and others." ”
Hearing that someone was commanding, Chen Qiuming still decided to stay and consciously stay in the rear, he wanted to see how powerful these bandits were.
Everyone consciously divided into three waves, one in front and one in the front, women and children, and the wounded in the middle, surrounded by wagons and goods to protect themselves.
The thieves came quickly, Chen Qiuming had excellent eyesight, and found that there were dozens of thieves in front and behind, adding up to more than 100 people, each of whom straddled horses with arrows, holding various weapons, and even many were wearing leather armor or even iron armor, which was simply armed to the teeth.
In the rear, under the command of Commander Li, everyone was ready to face the battle with weapons in hand, but Chen Qiuming was empty-handed, disliked, and arranged behind the human wall.
In the blink of an eye, a group of horse thieves arrived and stopped. In the middle, a bald-headed, sturdy horse thief took two steps forward with a mace, looked at the simple "defense line" in front of him, sneered, and shouted: "I am the second master of the wolf thief, quickly put down the weapon and surrender, grandpa is in a good mood, maybe he can let you go, otherwise, Lao Tzu will smash you into a pulp one by one!" ”
Commander Li held the knife in both hands and shouted: "Dog thief, I haven't heard of anyone who can survive at the hands of you wolf thieves." Brothers, if you fight, you will die, and if you don't fight, you will die, it is better to kill a few more thieves and bury them with us! ”
A group of people next to him also echoed loudly, the situation in front of him was obvious, there was still a glimmer of life in desperate efforts, and if they didn't fight, they could only wait for death.
Laiba was furious, raised the mace in his right hand, and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
The rain of arrows came head-on, and at this time, the role of the "line of defense" of the wagons and goods piled up was manifested, and everyone shrank their heads to hide, and almost no one was injured.
Seeing this, Laiba roared, jumped up from his horse, carried a mace, and smashed down towards the "defense line", only to see a loud "bang", and a car of goods was directly smashed to pieces.
Laiba smelled the aroma of wine and was a little stunned, Commander Li is also a veteran of fighting, and took advantage of the car to bully the mace still resting on the ground, shouting "Kill!" Then he swung his broadsword and slashed at Laiba's head.
The two groups of people immediately fought together, Chen Qiuming came first, and one jumped in front of a horse thief, and threw a punch at his head, the horse thief couldn't parry, and was knocked away by Chen Qiuming's punch, and hit several people behind him.
Looking at this person again, his entire face was dented by Chen Qiuming, and his seven orifices were bleeding, and the immortals couldn't be saved. The rest of the people were in high spirits and took the initiative to attack the horse thief, Chen Qiuming did not pause, and slapped another palm towards the door of a horse thief.
Chen Qiuming turned into a humanoid beast, no one was his enemy, every punch or kick, one person was killed, but the others were not so brave.
Commander Li is obviously not Laiba's opponent, although he seized the opportunity, he was instantly reversed by Laiba, and was killed by Laiba's mace and had no power to parry, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated and died.
The others were basically not the opponents of the horse thieves, most of them were killed and injured by the horse thieves, and when Chen Qiuming killed seven or eight, when he looked back, there were less than twenty or thirty people who could stand.
Chen Qiuming suddenly turned around and slapped Xiang Laiba, if he didn't come to the rescue, Commander Li would die immediately.
Laiba was wielding his mace, intending to finish off his opponent, but suddenly his heart sank, and he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly rolled sideways, which was able to avoid Chen Qiuming's palm.
Chen Qiuming landed on the ground and said to Commander Li: "You go to deal with the others, and leave it to me." ”
Commander Li glanced at Chen Qiuming gratefully, nodded, and took the knife and killed the horse thief in front.
Laiba stared at Chen Qiuming deadly, he felt that the person in front of him had extremely high martial arts, and he was afraid that he would surpass the big boss, and if he was not careful, he would probably have to explain here today.
Chen Qiuming didn't care what Laiba thought, according to Laiba, it was suddenly a punch, and Laiba hurriedly dodged, but Chen Qiuming's next palm came again, Chen Qiuming shot very fast, Laiba didn't even have time to pick up the weapon, and even, the heavy mace became a burden.
After a few moves, Laiba simply threw away his weapon and fought with Chen Qiuming with his bare hands, but unfortunately, in Chen Qiuming's eyes, Laiba's movements were too slow, and they were all flaws, sure enough, Laiba resisted a few more moves, and was kicked in the chest by Chen Qiuming.
Laiba only felt that he was hit by a thousand-pound boulder in the chest, and before a mouthful of blood could hit the ground, it spurted out wildly, and then slammed heavily on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Chen Qiuming saw that Laiba couldn't move, so he didn't care about him, and he cleaned up these horse thieves first.
In just a few moments of Chen Qiuming and Laiba's fight, more than a dozen of them fell, leaving only Commander Li with seven or eight caravan guards still struggling to support, and everyone was injured.
Chen Qiuming was just about to continue to join the battlefield, suddenly, with a whoosh, another iron arrow hit his back, Chen Qiuming hurriedly dodged, turned his head to look, but was shocked to find that the battle in front of him had ended, and the remaining horse thieves had caught the women, children and wounded people in the middle, among them, the woman in yellow who was suspected to be the daughter of King Qi.
There are only two choices in front of Chen Qiuming, either go or work hard.
Chen Qiuming did not flee, as soon as he left, none of the people present, except for the horse thief, could survive.
Suddenly, Chen Qiuming dodged and appeared in the battle led by Li in the rear, not caring about the consumption of internal force, he made a quick and ruthless move, just hoping to quickly solve the more than ten horse thieves in the rear.
What was strange was that the gang in front, including the archer, did not come to help, but let Chen Qiuming deal with all the remaining horse thieves.
