Chapter 109: The Camel's Arrangement
The bandits retreated again.
Although they left behind more than 20 corpses and retreated, they were in a tight formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and there was no defeat at all.
This was already the third attack that Ye Feng and the others had repelled.
Ye Feng felt exhausted, only to feel that his arms were sore, and he was about to lose the steel knife in his hand, so he sat on the ground weakly, gasping for breath.
Looking up, everyone was in the same situation, except for two more horsemen who died under the knives of the bandits, and the rest of them were all slumped and exhausted.
The who rushed to the front every time was covered in bruises and blood, and he couldn't tell whether his body was bleeding from his own wounds or the blood of his opponents who had been splashed in the fight with the enemy.
Among all of them, only Tang Da was in a slightly better situation, but the leather bag containing the hidden weapon on his waist had already been empty, and at the moment, he was picking up the small stones on the ground to act as a hidden weapon, while lowering his head and pondering.
He wondered why the three charges of the horse bandits, the poisonous snake in the cold-blooded thirteen kills, had never joined in the attack?
Ye Feng's heart also felt very strange.
He clearly felt that these horse bandits, or rather the Shazhou guards, were not intent on killing them.
The horse bandits who rushed up in these attacks seemed to want to consume them more and drag them down, one by one they just killed those horsemen and camel riders, but they were obviously merciful to Ye Feng and a few of them, otherwise they would definitely not be able to hold on until now just by relying on them.
It seems that they still want to stay alive, and the order they received is to capture Ye Feng and them alive regardless of the cost.
Ye Feng recalled what Brother Lan, the leader of the horse bandits, had said to him before, as long as he was tied up and followed, he could let the others go.
It seems that their goal is themselves, but they didn't know Shazhou Wei and this Brother Mo before, let alone have a grudge, why did they do this?
Ye Feng couldn't figure it out.
After repelling the attack of the horse bandits, the camels would command everyone to carry the human and animal carcasses on the ground and build them on top of each other like a city wall to block the mouth of the valley to resist the next attack of the horse bandits.
Now even he himself is exhausted, and he doesn't want to move.
Seeing that the horse bandit formation began to move in an orderly manner, the next attack was imminent.
He looked up at the exhausted crowd in front of him, and then looked up at the sun in the sky, which had moved westward, and suddenly turned back to everyone and said, "This place cannot be defended, so let's retreat into the valley first." ”
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, everyone fought hard to defend the valley mouth, and just gave it to each other? Once they lost the terrain advantage of the valley mouth, wouldn't these horse bandits be able to drive straight into the valley?
The camel looked at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and said calmly: "We have been here long enough, and now everyone is exhausted, and if we barely hold on, it will only increase the casualties." ”
"Now let's retreat first and save our strength. Trust me, I have other arrangements. ”
His composure gave hope to everyone's hearts, from the beginning, all the decisions of the camel had always been correct, why couldn't they trust him again?
I wonder what it will be?
Ye Feng and his group, supporting each other, retreated into the valley.
At this moment, in the formation of horse bandits, Brother Lan, the leader of the horse bandits on horseback, watched them retreat from a distance
figure, with a smug look in his eyes.
It seems that they can't hold it anymore, and all that's left is the final blow, and capturing them alive is as easy as an eagle catching a chicken.
As soon as he waved his hand, the horse bandits around him who were already eager to try shouted and rushed forward like a tide towards the unguarded valley mouth.
In this small valley mouth, they have paid too much, and the sand here is almost soaked in blood.
And now, with ease, their horses' hooves leaped over the undefended valley and into the valley with their corpses on the ground.
The road in the valley was extremely narrow, and at its widest point it could only accommodate two horsemen in parallel, and the road was as deep and winding as a labyrinth, and after the sun set in the west, the valley was shrouded in shadows, and the strange rocks were jagged, revealing an eerie atmosphere.
The horse bandits did not hesitate to rush straight into the horses. There are only a few exhausted people left on the other side, who can barely lift a knife, and they have lost the geographical advantage of Taniguchi, what else is there to fear?
In their hearts, at this moment, Ye Feng and his entourage were like fish on the chopping board, placed in front of them, and they were at their fingertips.
In front of the horse bandits who rushed to the front, there was even a scene of Ye Feng and the others with depressed faces, helplessly sitting on the ground and being captured.
He felt his whole body full of strength, and the horses under his seat were running faster.
Suddenly, he felt that his body was empty, and the scene before him was all distorted, and even men and horses rushed under the fallen sand.
It's a trap!
The horse bandit's heart was cold, and as the sand fell, he vaguely saw that there were many sharpened wooden stakes at the bottom of this deep trap!
There is no grass growing in the Gobi Desert, where did they get these so many wooden stakes?
He didn't have time to think about it, the spear in his hand stretched down as hard as he could, and the whole man was lifted off the horse's back and propped up in the air, and the horse under him fell in a neighing sound, and blood was splattered, and it was full of holes in the sharp stakes, and he saw that it was not alive.
He was secretly glad in his heart, and the secret path was so hanging, but at this moment, he felt a black shadow flashing on his head, and it turned out that the horse bandit behind him couldn't stop his horse steps, and he also fell into the trap.
He looked up at the huge black shadow of the man who had fallen overhead, and let out a terrible scream in despair.
The horse bandits rushed forward too fast, and even a few horse bandits couldn't hold their feet, and they fell into the trap one after another, and the ones behind barely reined in the horses, but they were hit by the people and horses rushing up behind them, and they still fell helplessly.
Some horse bandits saw that the trap in front of them was not very large, so they took advantage of the forward momentum and jumped up one after another, jumping over the trap at once.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the horse landed, the sand surface fell again, and in the scream, he fell into another trap, which turned out to be followed by a trap!
For a time, in the narrow passage of the valley, the roar of people and the neighing of horses were intertwined, and the horse bandits collided with each other, trampled on each other, and became a mess.
Ye Feng and the others crouched at the corner of the road not far in front of the trap, quietly watching the scene in front of them.
It turned out that this was what the camel just said, "there are other arrangements", and Ye Feng couldn't help but feel sincere admiration in his heart.
You must know that this is a desert Gobi, the sand is loose and easy to collapse, it is not easy for ordinary people to dig into traps, not to mention digging so deep, Ye Feng immediately remembered a person, a mouse!
In the defensive battle of Taniguchi before, the mouse has never appeared, but he has always been inconspicuous and silent, so everyone too
Didn't notice him, it turned out that he had been digging deep for traps here.
Judging from the trap he completed alone in such a short period of time, this mouse's earthwork excavation technique is indeed unique.
As for the sharpened wooden stakes at the bottom of the trap, it must have been demolished the carriage that Old Man Fu Shuangling and Miss Cheng were riding in before, so that there could be so much wood.
Ye Feng admired in his heart, but he also faintly felt a little worried, although the trap unexpectedly made the horse bandits chaotic for a while, but its function was limited after all, after a while, once the horse bandits recovered, how could they resist them?
At this moment, a loud voice came from the high cliff on the side of the narrow valley road: "Rabbit cubs, try the good things sent by Grandpa Zhang!"
It's the voice of a fat man!
With his shout, countless large boulders tumbled down from the cliff, crackling and smashing into the chaotic horse bandits below.
Ye Feng suddenly understood, no wonder the camel insisted on letting Zhang Fatzi accompany Xie Zhenliang back to the valley just now, it turned out that he had already thought about letting him go to the top of the cliff to control these rockfall mechanisms that had been prepared before.
The horse bandits were already in a mess, and the road was narrow, and the big rocks could not be dodged at all, and in the screams, they were smashed off their horses, their heads were broken and bleeding, their hands were broken, their legs were broken, and they fell into a mess.
The stones smashed into the sand, kicking up clouds of sand and dust, making it almost impossible to see.
By the time the stones fell, most of the bandits on the valley roads were staggering, with stumps and legs, and mourning all over the field.
The horse bandits behind were prevented from moving forward because their horses were blocked by boulders when they sat down.
At this time, I saw the camel wrapping his head with a gauze scarf, covering his face, pulling out the steel knife at his waist, shouting "Kill!" and leading the way to the dusty mountain road.
Behind him, Ye Feng and the others also followed his example, covering their faces with a scarf to avoid the sand and dust, and roared angrily and waved their blades to rush over.
The exhaustion that they had just felt exhausted, and they could barely lift the knife in their hands, seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and their bodies seemed to be filled with strength and confidence again.
Where can the horse bandits who have been hit by traps and falling rocks still be able to withstand their wolf-like rush and killing?
Those who could run were all rolling and crawling, desperately retreating in the direction of the valley, and those who ran slower only hated their parents for missing two legs.
The horse bandits who were still about to rush into the valley at the mouth of the valley behind were rushed by the front exit, which was also a big chaos, and they had no choice but to retreat back with them.
The bandits were defeated again.
This time they lost nearly 100 men in the valley and retreated in disarray.
The camel led Ye Feng and they recaptured the land of Taniguchi.
While directing everyone to carry the corpses of people and animals to the mouth of the valley and pile them up to block the road, he comforted everyone: "Don't worry, it's getting late, they shouldn't venture to attack in the dark at night." You can rest well tonight. ”
Everyone was encouraged, and with just a dozen of them, they were able to block the attack of a large number of horse bandits for a whole day, and hope began to ignite in their hearts again.
The camel's face was very calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes as he looked at the horse bandits on the other side from a distance.
Although today has passed, all the magic weapons have been exhausted, and when it is dawn tomorrow, how can we resist this tidal attack?
And most importantly, how long can they hold out without reinforcements?
