In the language of this world, the subtle ancient texts of the past life are always a bit inadequate.

Knowing that the horse bandits would not attack immediately, Leo patiently replied: "I once saw an article about war, and the author explained it this way. War requires courage the most, and when two armies face each other, the first shout inspires courage, after the second shout the courage will be low, and by the third shout the courage will be exhausted. Whoever loses courage and whose courage is flourishing will most likely be an important factor in determining victory or defeat. ”

Morris blinked, seemed to understand a little, and muttered, "You mean...... Did they do it on purpose?"

Leo nodded, "Yes, their patience is surprising, and if we lose patience, our courage will fall to the bottom, and at that time, they will jump out and take a bite." Perhaps, the attack will be on the next one. ”

Hearing him say this, Morris couldn't help but look at his men. Soon, he was horrified to discover that after two shouts, many people were indeed losing their courage, and some were even trembling.

Damn, this is the most cunning horse bandit he's ever met.

Unlike in the past, horse bandits often rush to each other when they meet, and these guys actually know how to attack their hearts! Fortunately, Leo saw the enemy's sinister intentions, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable!

"What shall we do?" asked Morris eagerly, as if grasping at the last straw.

Leo already had an idea, and said calmly: "It's very simple, so they have to attack immediately." ”

"But how can we control their movements?" said Morris, puzzled.

Seeing that the other party was sweating profusely, Leo stopped selling and replied, "There should be fuel in the convoy that can emit thick smoke, right? ”

"You mean, use the smoke to attract the attention of the other caravans and come to our aid? It's possible that even if you order it for a day, no one will see it. Morris looked puzzled, he had thought of this method before, but he didn't think it was of much use, and the enemy might attack immediately.

"It's true, but it's also possible that someone noticed it right away as soon as it was lit. Leo replied, "I'm sure the bandits weren't sure if anyone saw it, so." Judging by their cunning actions, they will not take this risk. ”

Morris pondered for a moment and nodded heavily: "It makes sense, I'll arrange it!"

Even if the smoke is useless and cannot force the enemy to attack, at least there is no harm, and maybe it is really possible to attract reinforcements, but I am really concerned about it, and I haven't even figured out such a simple truth.

"Remember to let the other people relax. Rest well. As soon as a person is nervous, the loss of strength will be accelerated. Leo added.

............

A few minutes later, the forage mixed with wolf dung was ignited, and a streak of black smoke rose up. It was clearly visible from several kilometers away, and the caravan members were asked to lay down their weapons for a while, sit on the ground and relax, and even Maurice gave each of them a little rum. Under the stimulation of alcohol, it is easier to stimulate the desire to fight.

Sure enough, with the appearance of black smoke. Figures in the distance soon appeared. And this time, the number of people has increased significantly, and they are all on horseback.

With Leo's suggestion, Morris was also open-minded, so he didn't greet his subordinates and immediately prepared to fight, but instead retreated behind the car formation, only showing a pair of eyes, observing the situation on the other side.

A hundred meters away, the horse bandits seemed to be communicating, and a leader-looking man said a few words, and then suddenly picked up the horse and accelerated, and the people behind him quickly followed.

"It's coming!

Morris no longer hesitated and shouted loudly.

After a clatter of weapons clashing, the twenty or so people who were about to participate in the battle readjusted their state and prepared to meet the enemy.

At this time, the horse bandit in front suddenly let go of the reins of the horse, and his hands flashed, and the long crossbow was in his hand, and a little cold light shot out.

After an instant, there was a crisp sound of "do", and the sharp feathered arrow shot directly at the carriage in front of Maurice, and the arrow completely sank into the heavy plank, leaving only half of the tail feathers.

Morris didn't have time to react, and at the same time secretly rejoiced.

He had no doubt that if he stood outside the chariot formation as usual, the arrow would definitely pierce through his body and nail himself to the carriage.

"Everyone, don't lean out, wait until the bandits get closer, and then fight them!" he commanded in a loud voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, several more arrows were fired, all of which were blocked by the carriage.

Leo took a closer look, and his heart became calmer. The arrows of these horse bandits are not bad, but there is absolutely no profession that specializes in archery, otherwise with the strength of a high-level ranger, a violent arrow may even smash an entire carriage.

This is definitely good news, if you start a melee battle, relying on the chariot formation, the caravan is almost invincible.

In the blink of an eye, the horse bandits had advanced to within fifty meters, and shouted in unison in the accented lingua franca: "Lay down your weapons, spare you from death!"

"Put down your arms and eat and drink spicy food with Lao Tzu!"

"Put down your arms, there is no need to sell your life to others, you have a share of the harvest of Lao Tzu!"

It's heart attack again!

Morris gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted to his subordinates: "Don't listen to their nonsense, Wolf Paw has never been rumored of captives or letting people go! As long as you repel them, each of them will be rewarded with an additional five gold coins! If you die in battle, you will be paid a pension, and Lao Tzu will take care of his whole family." The sun god is above, and if I break my promise, I will not die well!"

In fact, even if he didn't give a bounty, most of the caravan members wouldn't surrender.

Because falling into the hands of horse bandits will definitely not end well, let alone the notorious wolf claws. In addition, the old members who have worked for many years have shares in the goods, and the interests of themselves and the caravan have long been tied together, so they can't help but work hard.

The bandits did not expect a few shouts to be effective, and when they were still about twenty meters away from the convoy, the leader pulled the reins, and the majestic horses neighed, and the men stood up, and finally stopped their advance. The bandits behind him did the same, stopped rushing forward and followed the leader around the convoy. Look for possible breakthroughs.

In their eyes, as long as a passage was opened and horses were swept into the convoy, these weak caravan members were nothing more than a bag. So far, none of the caravans they attacked have been able to hold out for ten minutes.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

However, after sparing two laps, the leader of the horse bandits found that the car formation was extremely tight under the arrangement of the veterans, and the water was impassable. There were also bright weapons in several gaps, like turtles covered with sharp thorns of steel, and they couldn't even get their mouths out for a while. From time to time, arrows are even thrown. It's not a threat, but it's a form of harassment.

If you control the horse and jump in, or use the most powerful combat skills, it is not impossible to force a breakthrough directly. But if you can do it yourself, your subordinates may not be able to do it, and if you are alone, even if you are a high-level fighter, you will be invincible with two fists and four hands. I'm afraid there will be more than one luck.

The other side dares to put on a stubborn position, and there must be some people who can fight, and they must first destroy their fighting spirit, and then they can be like a wolf chasing a flock. Annihilate them one by one.

"Grandma's, I didn't expect to encounter a hard bone. The bandit leader grinned, and pulled out a black metal ball from his bosom.

Leo had been keeping an eye on the bandit leader. Seeing him take out the jet-black metal ball, he immediately guessed what it was, and hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the carriage!"

However. The caravan members had not received special training, and they did not know what the consequences of the black metal ball might be, except for a few who were sensitive and took a few steps back, most of them were at a loss as to what to do.

By this time, the leader of the bandits had already thrown the metal ball, his strength was extremely strong, and the speed of the metal was also extremely fast, and the target was a slightly smaller carriage in front of him.

Leo decisively gave up the idea of casting a plastic energy spell and detonating it in mid-air, and instead quickly fluctuated his mental power, instantly sending out the mage's hand.

First, if you boldly cast a more obvious magic, it will inevitably make the other party vigilant, and it will be difficult to use magic to sneak attack smoothly in the future;

It's just that the metal ball is obviously an extraordinary item, and it naturally has a certain immunity to the mage's hand, and it is only affected by the force field, which slightly interferes with the speed of progress.

In the blink of an eye, the metal ball hit the ground and exploded two meters away from the carriage.

The fierce flames rose up, bringing a strong shock wave, and the nearest carriage was instantly knocked to the ground, and the wooden planks on the front were all shattered.

Fortunately, the members of the caravan behind the carriage obeyed Leo's orders and did not hide closely behind the carriage, so they survived. Otherwise, the shock wave and the weight of the carriage will cost you half your life, even if you don't die.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the leader of the horse bandits was extremely annoyed.

The metal balls he obtained from the black market in exile at a high price, and they were a sharp weapon for attacking caravans with strong defenses, and they were easy to use. But once used, it often works wonders. There was even a time when the explosion of the metal ball directly caused a caravan to collapse and flee, and they were all killed in just a few minutes.

This time, he also saw that Morris's caravan carriage was numerous and the ruts were heavy, and he must have a lot of goods, so he was tempted to use the only remaining metal ball.

But the current effect is quite unsatisfactory. According to his expectations, the metal ball would definitely blow the wagon to pieces, killing everyone behind it, opening a gap that would allow his men to rush into the defensive circle and slaughter.

But a simple throw, as if he was resisted by the wind, failed to hit the target accurately, which made him so embarrassed and out of shape, fortunately, his subordinates should not be able to see it.

Otherwise, his long-standing prestige will be greatly reduced, and he will not be able to deter these villains, bastards and perverts under his hands.

As for the rather vague magic fluctuations, they had long been masked by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and the bandit leader didn't pay much attention to it.

Sensing the main direction of attack of the horse bandits, Morris immediately rushed over with five main bodyguards. All of them had reached the intermediate level, and together with many other ordinary caravan members, they could completely fend off the horse bandits from the car formation.

The explosion just now made him very afraid, but fortunately, the other party's "quasi-head" was not good, and the carriage on his side was also quite strong, so there were no casualties.

At this moment, the leader of the horse bandits was on his horse, and he could see the situation in the car formation, and he already knew that there was support coming. Looking at the sharp weapons and heavy wallets of the opponents, as well as the vigorous steps and resolute faces, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Obviously, the caravan encountered this time was not an ordinary caravan, but experienced and very difficult.

But he also knew that the more caravans such they were, the more precious the goods they carried, and maybe after finishing this ticket, they would be able to go to the big towns of the Urion Kingdom for a while.

For a while, across the carriage, the two sides held each other.

The bandits circled around the cart, and a man with a goatee said, "Boss, what a point." ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, another scarface immediately sneered: "Hey, gopher without guts, if you don't want to do business, get out early, I feel upset when I see you like this." ”

The goatee glared back and roared in a low voice, "Grass, you have a kind of you to go up and break the car formation?"

Seeing that the other party dared to fight back, Scarface was furious, but before he could speak, the leader of the horse bandits had already looked over coldly and scolded: "Whatever you are arguing about, shut up Lao Tzu!"

"Hmph, with the black iron fire thunder, but you can't even blow up a carriage, are you embarrassed to say?" Scarface muttered to himself, but in the end, he didn't dare to openly challenge the authority of the leader.

In the sky, the clouds are getting thicker, the sky is getting darker, and the air is getting more humid, indicating that a heavy rain is coming.

The leader of the horse bandits looked up at the sky, and suddenly his heart moved, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Everyone listen, withdraw!"

"Withdraw?"

"After spending most of the day, why did you withdraw?"

"Fat is right in your mouth, what the fuck is this for?"

"Grass, Lao Tzu sees that his boss position is about to come to an end. ”

All kinds of emotions surged in the hearts of the horse bandits.

Being able to become a leader and subdue so many subordinates, the leader of the horse bandits is certainly not an ordinary person, how can he not know what they are thinking.

But in order to maintain his unfathomable image, he just sneered twice, didn't explain anything, and directly pulled the reins and rode his horse back the way he came.

The horse bandits looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do but hurry up and follow. In case the fat sheep see that someone is lone and rush up to besiege them, it will really be eight lifetimes of mold. (To be continued......)
