Chapter 14: All the Way North (1)

"The convoy was formed on the spot, the carriages were plated, the archers were in the formation, and the sword and shield men were ready to meet the enemy. ”

The leader of the caravan escort was extremely experienced, and when he saw the rogue thieves in the distance, he quickly gave orders to his companions behind him. After all, it was a caravan that often went in and out of the grassland, and everyone had a similar experience, so when they found out that their opponent was not a rogue disguised by the official army, they suddenly became bold.

Ye Zhiqiu's identity originally did not belong to the combatants, but he rode a big green donkey to stay on the periphery of the car formation, with a calm and relaxed attitude, which immediately annoyed Tie Feng, the leader of the guards.

"What are you doing here? Nonsense, get into the car and don't mess with us. When the thieves charge, we can't take care of you. ”

Through this incident, Ye Zhiqiu easily tested the inside of the caravan, and there was no power against him, so after thanking the leader of the guard, he took out the short sword with the power of the Beidou from the leather sheath, easily pulled a sword flower, and took out a skinned round shield from the backpack of the green donkey with his left hand, and put it on his hand in a hurry.

"Although I am a scholar, I have also traveled to study in various places before, and I have never seen anything in the world, and I can't get close to two or three big men when I am idle. Brother Tie, I won't embarrass you. ”

Tie Feng, the leader of the caravan guards, saw the sword flower blooming, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the new bookstore in the chamber of commerce again, with a smile on his face, completely ignoring the thief on the other side, and couldn't help but look at him impressed.

At this moment, the thieves on both sides of the opposite mountain pass found that the caravan did not approach, but formed a circular formation on the spot to protect themselves.

When Ye Zhiqiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then looked sideways at the leader of the caravan guards, and found that his face showed a look of joy, and he immediately understood that the thief on the other side was nothing more than that.

The leader of the thieves looked at his camp, and he really didn't like to speak, and couldn't help but let out a long howl, and after only three breaths, he stopped without stopping, but the thieves who were in a mess settled down because of this.

The big green donkey under Ye Zhiqiu's seat was stimulated by the whistling sound, and shook his hooves irritably, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to soothe him, and by the way, he put down the blindfold to cover the mount's vision.

The subordinates of the leader of the thieves, who saw that their prey avoided the ambush circle and would only fight with the wind, were all farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky not long ago, but their own brothers were still in high morale, and they didn't care too much, so they directly ordered the charge.

The thieves on both sides of the mountain pass were stimulated by the crunch of the whip from time to time, perhaps because of the pain they had suffered, which made them forget their identity, and rushed down without a clue, and rushed towards the caravan not far away.

The leader of the caravan guard immediately raised his left hand, Ye Zhiqiu heard the squeak of the bowstring in the car formation behind him, knowing that this inconspicuous conflict was about to break out, and he was a little inexplicably nervous in his heart for no reason.

"I'm a game nerd after all, and this kind of bloody and murderous world really doesn't fit in with me. However, in order to preach for immortality, I also gave up. ”

Ye Zhiqiu's heart was firm, the hand holding the sword no longer trembled, he clamped the big green donkey with his legs, and the quite humane mount immediately stepped forward.

When Tie Feng, the leader of the caravan guards, saw this scene, he was worried that the scholar's anger would be bad, so he wanted to reach out and hold it, but unfortunately his speed was too slow, and he was gently avoided by Ye Zhiqiu.

"The Zhang Su Chamber of Commerce, a wealthy merchant in Zhongshan for generations, went north to sell horses, and he will be able to pass his name?"

The leader of the thieves didn't expect that he would earn the treatment of a military marquis, and his heart of fame and fortune suddenly rose, and he hurriedly rushed to the front, shouting loudly: "Your grandfather and I, Zhang Yishan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army!"

When Ye Zhiqiu heard the other party's name, he suddenly laughed in his heart, and looked sideways at the leader of the caravan guard behind him: "Iron boss, and look at the means." ”

Tie Feng didn't care in his heart, but after all, he was a person with raised eyebrows, and from the mouth of the new secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, he was full of confidence, so he didn't put down his left hand and gave orders to the archers in the car formation.

Ye Zhiqiu held the reins in his left hand, held the big green donkey between his legs, sat up slightly straight, and then pointed at the thief who was rolling in the smoke and dust not far away, and shouted.

"Zhang Yishan hasn't dismounted yet, when will he stay?"

As soon as the words fell, a stone's throw away, the leader of the thieves who rode a black and white bear and led the crowd to charge was scattered by Ye Zhiqiu's name, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground, but because his legs and feet were stuffed in the saddle, he was dragged forward by the black and white bear.

The leader of the thieves suddenly fell, and his cronies and brothers who followed him suddenly lost their backbone, and did not know what to do, but the foolish exiles did not react for a while, and still ran forward.

Seeing this scene, Tie Feng, the leader of the caravan guards, couldn't help but look at Ye Zhiqiu's figure, a scholar who used to talk and laugh, but now he was a little unfathomable because of the strange battle formation.

He was momentarily distracted, most of his attention never left the battlefield, and when he saw the thief rushing into range of the archers, he immediately clenched his left hand and slashed forward.

"Put!"

At this moment, the twenty-four hard bows in the chariot array shot arrows in unison, and the homeless people who rushed into the land of one arrow were immediately swept away. They had no protection, and they had no sense of self-preservation, how could they resist the sharp arrows, and the injured by the arrows could not bear the pain, and the muscles spasmed and caused the body to lose control, and fell to the ground headlong, and then were trampled by the homeless people behind them.

Dozens of pairs of big feet wearing straw sandals and cloth boots stepped on the bodies of the injured in no particular order, and these originally weak homeless people would shout a few times at first, but it didn't take long for them to lose their breath, and even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured and died.

The two sides were about to engage in battle, and the archers in the chariot formation suddenly shot much faster, and they became chaotic, but the number of dead and wounded of the homeless people on the opposite side was too large, and finally the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, and their originally sluggish morale fell to the bottom in a blink of an eye because of the influence of their dead or wounded companions.

Seeing this, Tie Feng, the leader of the caravan guard, knew that this was the best opportunity to break the enemy, and immediately raised the iron spear in his right hand and gave the order to charge.

The cavalry on both sides of the chariot formation was no more than twenty people, and when they heard Tie Feng's order, they did not hesitate to follow one after another, adjusting themselves to form a goose-shaped formation and charging at the thieves whose morale had plummeted.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw this scene, he estimated that the number of thieves was at least eight hundred, and the caravan's guards were only twenty horsemen, so they dared to charge against forty times the enemy.

"Later generations read history, and they all said that many dynasties were destroyed by weakness, but only the Han Dynasty died with strength. Judging from the way these caravan guards responded, this heart and courage really did not have moisture. In such an era, I can personally experience and live in the present, which is really the luck of a time-traveler. ”

Ye Zhiqiu witnessed the cavalry going upstream, easily crushing the unmoraled thieves, and rushing towards the back, which is the backbone of this group, and couldn't help but feel the blood boiling in his heart, and he was ready to rush forward.

However, at this moment, he could see the Yin and Yang Eyes of the Netherworld, and saw a tumbling cloud of Yin Qi in the sparse forest not far away, like a poisonous snake passing through the grass, slowly approaching the car formation.

"It turns out that the peers I expected really existed. According to the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Yu Poison's instructions, the gray and black aura is the resentment of the fierce ghost, and this yin qi is so strong that it is almost substantial, and I am sure that the person who came must be a monk of the corpse path or the ghost path, one of the seventy-two left paths. ”

Just when the main force of the caravan escort was lured away by the thieves, the real mastermind hiding in the shadows finally couldn't help but appear. His original target was the goods in the caravan's chariot array, but he had just seen someone's strange trick of calling for names and falling off horses, so he turned his attention to Ye Zhiqiu, who was riding a big green donkey.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a cloud of yin qi condensed like substance, carrying a white bone skull, flew towards the front of the caravan formation, and the "main general" who was the right to press the formation.

The skull's teeth opened and closed uncertainly, spewing out fire-green phosphorus fire, like a vicious dog raised by a wealthy gentleman, pounced on Ye Zhiqiu, who was lonely.

"Look for death!"
