Chapter 53: Night is Approaching

Lin Yi looked around at the caravan in the camp, where the female dependents were tending to the injured guards, tears hanging on their dusty faces, which had already withered. A few others buried their heads and dug pits a little farther away, ready to bury their dead companions. There was an air of mourning in the whole camp, but they were all silent, each doing their own thing.

Yunzhou is a remote area with weak heavenly troops, and the risk of doing business is extremely high. But without these caravans, many grass dwellers in remote towns would not be able to buy the necessities of life. Even though Hehai can make a lot of money, businessmen may be black-hearted, but these people who join the association and run businessmen are also the supporters of Yunzhou's survival.

Besides, he and the team of "centipedes" also have new hatreds and old hatreds. If you can get some compensation, you can indeed relieve some shyness. After all, you can't keep going to Tang Xuesui to get money.

"Since we are on the same path, let's deal with the bandits together. Lin Yi sighed, "Do your best in the next place, but if it comes to life and death, you may be bent on self-preservation." ”

Wen Kuan nodded heavily, and said with relief: "The young man is quick to talk, then please advise more." If you and I can reach Maocheng safely, we will be rewarded. ”

In this way, he became a guard for the caravan.

In addition to Wen Kuan, he also knew several people. The strong man who shouted and released the arrow was Li Heng, the head of the guard, who was a cultivator in the early stage of the Qi Vein. Gu Auntie, the head chef in charge of cooking, always thought he was thin and forbade him to only eat the prey he hunted. The person in charge of taking care of the horses was a young girl, Liu Xiaohong, who blushed when she couldn't say a word. And the old man who saved him that day was called Hu Lao, a distinguished guest accompanying the caravan, who had been sitting in the carriage and hardly saw anyone.

According to the way the old man shot that day, I am afraid that he will far surpass Li Heng.

All the way to the south, the two were attacked by the group of evil bandits "centipedes", but this time it was smaller than the last offensive, and the caravan relied on the heavily arranged defense line, and finally drove the thieves away without casualties.

Lin Yi followed Li Heng's arrangement, and lined up with all the guards to resist, and did not encounter any danger.

After another two days, the team finally entered the realm of Maocheng, and everyone's suppressed emotions were relaxed. After all, there is already a possibility that there will be patrolling officers and soldiers here.

Lin Yi, Wen Kuan and Li Heng did not dare to relax at all, but went to the extreme of worry.

This gang of bandits has been chasing them all the way and will never give up. The wolves had tormented their prey to the last moment, and if they had to pounce, it would have to be tonight.

As soon as the twilight was thick, Wen Kuan commanded the team to start camping, and the wooden fences and iron spikes carried by the team were carried out, and a few people immediately began to cut down trees and dig pits.

Looking at the defense line that quickly took shape, Lin Yi also had to sigh that Hehai was indeed well-organized, obviously a chamber of commerce, but it was a bit like the Feiyun Dart Bureau of the Zhou family.

Before the arrangement could be closed, however, there were calls and neighing of horses in the distance.

"It's here!" Li Heng exclaimed, "It's not night yet, and it's the territory of Maocheng again, are these bandits crazy?"

Wen Kuan's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he said with a pale face: "If you are either crazy, or you have the confidence to defeat us in a short time, damn it, it's still too late to set up camp!"

"Array!" Li Heng roared.

Almost at the same time, several horses leaped out of the sparse woodland.

"Kill!!"

In an instant, the night and silence were torn apart by the light of fire and shouting.

Lin Yi clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and the tremor of the earth and soil reached his hands. A black horse rushed at him, kicked away the tent and carriage, and knocked away another guard.

Three or four guards came together, spears staggered,

The black horse was forced to rush directly into the gun, blood splashed, and another person was knocked down before finally stopping.

This is a deadly charge! The previous battles were completely different!

The bandit jumped off the impaled black horse and slashed at him with a large axe. In the blink of an eye, several more horses also rushed over, followed by a black and oppressive figure.

Lin Yi roared and swung the heavy sword out with both hands. He had no time to think about it anymore, and there was no night sky, no companions, and no positions in front of him, only the most vicious enemies.

This kind of fighting is almost a bit of a battlefield, which is completely different from the fighting in the rivers and lakes. You can't use any swordsmanship, only the sword in your hand and the companions around you can rely on it.

Fortunately, Li Hengbu's formation was quite stable, and he had not been attacked by the enemy for the time being, and he also cut down several evil bandits under his sword.

This time, however, the number of bandits increased significantly, and it was a desperate onslaught, and more and more carriages and wooden fences were completely overthrown.

Soon, the formation around him gradually loosened, and several of the guards also fell.

"Beep!"

The crisp chirp barely cut through the sound of the fight. Lin Yi's heart froze, and he felt a hint of nervousness coming from the peacock.

He took two steps back, temporarily away from the battlefield where the battle was entangled, and looked up into the distance.

The ladies were surrounded by a group of bandits on the side of a carriage, and there were the corpses of several guards lying next to them, and even Aunt Gu picked up a big iron pot and waved it violently, but she was about to hold on.

Lin Yi hurriedly kicked away a bandit who rushed in front of him, cut a way and rushed to the side of the carriage, helping them barely support the attack on one side.

However, he was extremely reluctant to support himself in the face of two vicious bandits.

The centipede gang of bandits, I don't know what kind of drive they were to charge regardless of casualties, but at this time they finally exposed their true nature as outlaws and bandits, and when they saw the women gathered together, they came over one by one, like a vicious wolf smelling fishy.

"Oh! don't!" a woman was suddenly pulled to the ground, screaming and struggling to be dragged into the crowd.

"Damn!" Lin Yi's eyes cracked, and he roared, wanting to break forward, but instead he was seen empty, and a bloody wound was stabbed on his back.

"Bang!!"

There was a loud bang, and the door of the carriage shattered to pieces.

A thin figure flew out and rushed into the crowd with punches and kicks, knocking over several bandits in an instant.

Hu Lao finally appeared, did this guy hide in the carriage before?

Lin Yi didn't know why, so he had to use his momentum to cut down a person, and desperately pulled the woman back.

The carriage was held for the time being, but the situation in the whole camp was extremely bad. The number of bandits obviously exceeded their estimates, and the degree of ferocity was far beyond expectations, and more and more guards fell, and there were constantly bandits rushing towards this side.

Gradually, even Hu Lao couldn't support it a little, although his fist style was strong, and he already had a battle in the late stage of the Qi Vein, but for some reason he never had the momentum that he had when he rescued him that day.

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, Aunt Gu was stabbed in the shoulder, and the wound was deep and bone-invisible. Almost at the same time, Xiaohong was picked up by a sturdy bandit.

Lin Yi was distracted, and he was kicked himself, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn!"

Hu Lao suddenly snorted.

There was a sudden crackling sound in the air.

Lin Yi was swinging his knife and slashing forward, and the evil bandit in front of him suddenly turned pale, and his body twisted strangely, and then he was almost cut in half.

Hu Lao's fists and feet passed by, and the sound of air explosions was everywhere. Almost in an instant, the surrounding bandits had fallen in one piece.

Lin Yi gasped for a while, and finally came to his senses, and was about to ask why this old man didn't go all out earlier, when the old man suddenly slapped his palm on his shoulder.

"You go with me!"

Lin Yi only felt that his shoulders were tight, and he was lifted up by the old man, and jumped out of the city at once.

"Hey, we can't leave them behind!"

"Stay away from them, you are saving them!" Hu Lao shouted in a hoarse voice, "The old man was forced to make a move, and his whereabouts have been exposed. A truly bloodthirsty monster will only follow me. ”

With that, he changed his breath and took another big leap.
