Chapter Six: Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand (3)
Volume 15 Chapter 6 (3)
Ping Yan had also sensed the approach of the horse thief, and slowly opened her eyes, but she was bumping into Yang Ning's eyes shining in the dark, and her heart moved slightly, but she had always been resolute, and in an instant, she had already gathered her endless thoughts and silently observed the horse thief's whereabouts.
There are about three or four hundred horse thieves, fifty or sixty people are sneaking in from the intermittent passage between the dunes, and the rest of the horse thieves are climbing the dunes, facing the caravan that has been camped, still cautious, the strange soldiers are complementing each other, but it is also rare, when Pingyan secretly relied on himself in the desert in the past, he really had never seen such a powerful horse thief, and his delicate body moved lightly, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the horse thieves who sneaked in first had not yet made a difficult move, so that he could not only take the lead, but also alarm the guards of the caravan。
Unexpectedly, Pingyan just wanted to jump up, but Yang Ning's body was like a boneless spirit snake, bypassing the bonfire and sliding in front of Pingyan's body, and the two fingers in the middle of the food stood like a sword pointing at Pingyan's eyebrows, this blow was silent, it seemed slow and ordinary, but the immersive Pingyan, but only felt a wisp of vast and clear sword qi rushing to the face, if there was a slight slackness, it would definitely be lifeless, at the last moment, Pingyan's slender waist was folded, and his back was bent, all by the strength of his body, from the range of Yang Ning's fingers, she was arrogant, although she was arrogant, although she was very interested in Yang Ning, Qingping was apologetic, but she was not a weak person to be bullied, Yang Ning was ruthless, she didn't leave any room, she naturally wouldn't show weakness, although she didn't get up and draw her sword, but she took the opportunity to bend her waist. With a slender foot, he kicked at Yang Ning's dantian point, Yang Ning seemed to have been prepared, and when he missed, he had already retreated to his original place, and his black clothes almost melted into the night. Except for Ping Yan, no one noticed his movements, although Ping Yan's white clothes were conspicuous, but his figure was covered by Yang Ning, and the amplitude of his movements was not large, but it did not attract the attention of others.
Both of them are rare and supreme masters in the world, and with only one move, there are already countless dangers, and if they change others, nine lives have been lost. For them, it wasn't even a thrill, but Yang Ning made a move for no reason. Ping Yan was naturally annoyed in his heart, and said: "What are you messing around, if you want to do it, you will have time to do it, do you want to entangle me and not allow me to kill a few more horse thieves?"
Yang Ning smiled slightly, and his delicate ground revealed a cold meaning, and he replied: "Since it was said that the winner will be divided by the number of horse thieves killed, how can I be a traitor, and I will not use this method to influence your attack, but I can't leave Qingping's side." You have taken advantage of a lot, and if you scare these horse thieves away again, where will I find someone to kill you? If you want to do so, you'll have to wait until all the horse thieves have entered the oasis, and I've already noticed the terrain of this place, surrounded on all sides by sand dunes, and there are passageways that can be passed, but the paths are narrow. In many places, only one person is allowed to pass. If you're climbing from the dunes, you're slow. It's also easy to be attacked by bows and arrows, as long as they enter the oasis, don't want to leave alive, if you don't even want to give me this convenience, what is the point of this contest. ”
Ping Yan's heart was cold, although he knew that the young man in front of him was from the Demon Gate, and he was already the identity of the Martial Emperor at a young age, and his methods were inevitably vicious and ruthless, but he was so ruthless that he was unexpected, with the offensive methods of those horse thieves, it must be those horse thieves who sneaked in from the middle road to launch a sneak attack on the camp first, and when the camp was chaotic, the main force launched an attack from the top of the sand dune, condescendingly, with a thunderous blow, the resistance of the caravan was completely defeated, if it was according to Yang Ning's decision, when the horse thieves who crossed the sand dunes entered the oasis, I was afraid that most of the caravan had been killed and injured, such a tragic situation, how could Ping Yan sit idly by。
However, through the flickering firelight, Ping Yan could see Yang Ning's murderous intent in his eyes, and his seemingly relaxed posture revealed a strong meaning, although his true qi was hidden but not revealed, he was already ready to go, so he knew that Yang Ning had made a decision early, unless he ignored his threat, he would not be able to intercept the horse thief in this situation. Of course, she can alarm the business travelers, but this is tantamount to automatically admitting defeat, regardless of the consequences of admitting defeat, with Yang Ning's temperament, she will be defeated without a fight, but it will anger him even more, maybe after killing all the horse thieves, even these business travelers will not escape death, although she is confident that she can fight with Yang Ning, but if Yang Ning refuses to accept the move, she can kill everyone under his own protection, and his heart turns a thousand times, Ping Yan finally sighed lightly and gave up the plan to attack the horse thief's striker.
There is no need to talk to each other, Yang Ning naturally felt Pingyan's intentions, and couldn't help but feel relieved, in fact, his coercion can be described as a strong invoice, if Pingyan uses Qingping as a bargaining chip, even if he is dissatisfied, he can't threaten Qingping's life and death because of such a trivial matter, but for this woman, she probably never thought of relying on external forces to deal with herself, such a person, it is no wonder that the martial arts masters of the past dynasties have a lot of respect for the Cuihu Birth Line, perhaps compared with the Cuihu Birth Line, the descendants of the Birth Line have truly inherited the Cuihu Proud Style。
Yang Ning and Pingyan's open and secret battles naturally did not attract anyone's attention, but those horse thieves also failed to approach the camp unimpeded, just when the horse thieves ground forward reached the camp thirty zhang away from the camp under the cover of night, a terrible bull horn broke through the air, and before those horse thieves woke up, a horse thief led by a horse thief had been shot through the neck with a black crossbow arrow, and at the same time, a figure shot away from the ground, rolling and crawling to the camp, even in the most embarrassing time, he still did not forget to play the horns。 The horse thieves who had been destroyed by the attack were furious, and chased after the man with their swords, and a few of the horse thieves who were slightly behind drew their bows and arrows, and in an instant, three feathered arrows had reached the man's vest. Seeing that the man was about to die under the arrows, there was a loud shout from the camp that was alarmed by the sound of bull horns, and the three black feather arrows were like meteors chasing the moon, and they shot down all the pursuing feather arrows, just looking at the trajectory speed of these arrows, they knew that it must be shot by one person, one bow and three arrows, and the last one came first, even the archers of Hu Rong's two divisions were nothing more than that, and those horse thieves were in an uproar and stopped the offensive abruptly. Each of them searched for a mound of rocks to cover their bodies, and the man who was blowing the horns had already rushed into the camp. In the vast dark night, a loud laugh resounded in the sky, and the voice of Boss Yun came from the camp: "The desert is bitter cold, I don't know which hero came late at night and traveled in Xiamayi." Escort the Shunji Li Dong to the main businessman here, please also show your name. ”
As soon as Yun She's voice fell, a feminine voice floated down from the top of the sand dune and said: "Who am I, it turned out to be the famous boss of the cloud carving clouds, Your Excellency crisscrossed the desert with a strong bow and arrows, I don't know how many brothers we killed. Don't try to escape. ”
Hearing the three words of the Black Wolf Banner, there was a faint sound of uneasiness in the originally peaceful camp, and everyone in the caravan was accustomed to walking in the desert. has already been in battle, with their strength, as long as they have precautions in advance, ordinary horse thieves and bandits are helpless, but the black wolf flag is one of the best horse thieves in the desert, the most cruel and cunning, and his subordinates almost never leave a living mouth, especially the big leader of the black wolf banner, Cui Lang, will report it, even if he is temporarily forced to retreat, he will follow closely behind like a wolf. If you don't achieve your goal, you will not give up, and if you provoke this gang of horse thieves, you just want to sacrifice your wealth to save your life. There are also some can't.
Yun Shi saw that many of the people in the caravan showed a look of timidity, and in order to boost morale, he smiled in a mocking tone: "It turned out to be the Cui leader of the Black Wolf Banner, it is reported that the big boss acted in Dongrong in the past year, which angered He Lianxing, the first disciple of the Great Xianbei Mountain Qingtian Palace He Lou National Master. Hunted down Your Excellency for half a month. Although the big boss fled with rats, his subordinates and relatives were killed cleanly. I had to flee to the desert to regroup and start a horse thief, as the saying goes, thieves also have a way, meet and leave a line, meet in the future, horse thieves loot business travel, it is also a common thing, but it is rare to kill like Your Excellency, no wonder everyone says that the black wolf flag is evil, more violent and fierce than the real wolf, but Your Excellency has been raging in the past, don't you know that the national teacher of He Lou has also arrived at the Hu royal court. Isn't Leader Cui afraid that Helian Xing will know your whereabouts and end your life by the way?"
There was silence on the sand dunes for a moment, and Cui Lang's feminine and cruel voice sounded again: "What a cloud eagle, your courage is really not small, you dare to ridicule Cui, who doesn't know that you are a mongrel, even Lao Tzu doesn't know who he is, and he actually has the face to provoke Cui, originally I thought you were still a little smart, and you actually knew how to set up a secret whistle outside the camp, and wanted to give you a good time, since you don't know what to do, sons, after attacking the camp, I will capture you alive, I want to have a good pastime and pastime this bastard." ”
Yun Shi was not frightened when he heard this, but laughed loudly: "Leader Cui, you scolded well, I just hope that you will be free in the desert in this life and this life, and you will not set foot in the state half a step, Yun someone does have the blood of the Hu people, no one knows Ma Yi, no one knows, but Yun just has no father, but he has not forgotten who his ancestors are, you Cui Da Leader is a real Han person, but he has served the ancestors of the Rong people, what is the number of books and forgetting ancestors, Lao Tzu only knew today." ”
Cui Lang seemed to finally can't hold back the anger in his heart, and roared fiercely: "Kill!" With his order, more than a hundred horse thieves roared from the sand dunes and sand dunes to the caravan's camp.
Yun Shi in the camp also roared angrily: "Release the arrow!" Clusters of arrows hit the attacking horse thieves like a storm, this round of arrow rain is quite impressive regardless of the strength and accuracy, and all the horse thieves who will commit the land are covered, but these horse thieves have already been prepared, no matter what kind of blade they use, each of them has a leather shield on their left elbow, with their sensitive reaction and shield shield, until they are close to the distance of about ten zhang of the camp, they only lost seven or eight horse thieves, these seven or eight horse thieves are almost all pierced by black feather arrows, such a special style of feather arrows is unique to Yun She, which angers those fierce horse thieves even more, and the fierce light in their eyes can almost penetrate the gap in the convoy。
Seeing that these horse thieves were about to approach the camp, all of a sudden, the carriage at the entrance of the camp was pushed away, and forty or fifty heavily armed caravan guards pounced out with swords and swords, the horse thieves originally thought that the caravan was timid, and only dared to block it with bows and crossbows, but they didn't expect them to take the initiative to attack, and the offensive couldn't help but frustrate, and the two sides were entangled together in an instant, the horse thieves were not afraid of death, skilled in martial arts, but those guards were not weak, and they were rich in tacit understanding with each other, often two or three people formed a battle formation, and joined forces to deal with more than five or six enemies, but they did not miss defeat for a while, in addition, Yun Shi jumped to the roof of the car with six or seven guards。 Condescending to shoot arrows, those horse thieves were difficult to defend themselves against with their shields, and from time to time someone was wounded by feathered arrows, but fortunately they had to take care of the safety of their companions, and could not shoot horse thieves without any scruples, even so. The caravan also had the upper hand for the time being
This hand-to-hand battle all fell in the eyes of Yang Ning and Pingyan, in this case, there was no need to pretend to sleep to lure the enemy, both of them stood by the bonfire and watched the battle from afar, the fight between the horse thief and the caravan guard naturally did not look at them in their eyes, but such a fierce and fierce confrontation was also eye-catching.
Yang Ning looked at it for a moment, and said playfully: "When I was in Jiangnan, I also saw the soldiers under the command of the King of Dian and the Tang family. Isn't this the difference between north and south?"
Now that the horse thief and the caravan have already fought, Ping Yan is not in a hurry to eradicate the horse thief, not to mention that Yang Ning has not yet made a move. She didn't want to take advantage of it, so she also said calmly: "The border pass is bitter cold, close to Hurong for a long time, and the folk customs are naturally strong, not to mention that the hearts of the Saibei tribes watching the Central Plains are not dead, and every time the autumn is high and the horse is fat, they will try to kidnap the woman's money and food, but it is because the border generals are fulfilling their duties that they dare not be overly arrogant, under such circumstances." Both the military and the civilian population are naturally fierce and brave. Nature is better than the soldiers of the rich lands of the south. ”
Yang Ning didn't say a word, looked at it for a while, and said, "If we don't make a move, Sister Yan, who can win between the horse thief and the caravan?"
Ping Yan shook his head and said: "What else do you want to win, if the caravan can force back the horse thieves." It's already a rarity. Although I have not heard of this horse thief who calls itself the Black Wolf Banner, I also know that it should not be underestimated. It is quite rare to be able to hold on such a cold night until midnight, and after being discovered by the caravan, he is not in a hurry to attack, first weaken the caravan's will to resist with words, and then test the caravan with part of his strength, Zijing, you should be able to see that it is the real elite of the Black Wolf Banner who is still eyeing the sand dunes, and wants to wait until the strength of the caravan guards is weakened and exhausted before launching a thunderous blow and winning a big victory, which shows that their leader is quite a commander. ”
Although Yang Ning didn't know the art of war, he also understood it, and looked up at the sand dunes, sure enough, the dozens of horse thieves standing there were murderous and not dispersed, in comparison, although these horse thieves who were fighting with the caravan were brave, they were far from the same, not to mention that the aura behind the sand dunes was faint, and the main force of the horse thieves had not yet been dispatched. After discovering this, Yang Ning couldn't help frowning secretly, if he and Pingyan started now, he could only kill seventy or eighty horse thieves in front of him at most, but Pingyan could eradicate the main force of horse thieves on the sand dunes, whether it was quantity or quality, he was bound to lose, and he must also introduce the main force of horse thieves into the oasis, but the caravan is now in full swing, and it is not yet the time for the main force of horse thieves to move, if Pingyan wants to make a move before this, he will definitely not be able to stop it, and then he will not suffer by himself, and he will lose this game in vain.
Thinking of this, Yang Ning's heart suddenly moved, since the horse thief refused to do it because the caravan guard force was still strong, then why didn't he help them, just do it when he thought of it, a dead branch next to the bonfire suddenly had no wind and automated, and gently jumped into Yang Ning's right palm, Yang Ning's fingers were gently wiped, and the bark of the dead branch fell like snow, and in an instant, the dead branch had become a rough short arrow.
Ping Yan naturally didn't fail to see Yang Ning's actions, but he understood his mind wrongly, turned his head to look at Yang Ning, and was about to propose a move, the wooden arrow in Yang Ning's hand had turned into a vast phantom, quietly drawing into the sky in the night, Ping Yan was so cultivated, at a glance he saw that the target of the wooden arrow was actually Yun Boss who was shooting with a bow on the roof of the car, so he guessed Yang Ning's intentions, and he actually wanted to use this means to make the caravan's defense collapse in advance, in order to lure the horse thieves to attack in a big way, but at this moment, there was still time to stop it, Ping Yan's heart suddenly ignited a raging anger, Yang Ning's ruthlessness really angered her, but at this moment, she couldn't turn against it, had to be slammed down, and then shot to the top of the sand dunes like an arrow from the string, her body was still in mid-air, and the silver rainbow in her hand had already pierced the sky, and a sword roar was like a dragon chanting and phoenix roaring, shaking those horse thieves almost unable to stand.
Shocked by the sound of the sword roar, it was not only the horse thieves on the sand dunes who were alarmed, but also the horse thieves and caravan guards who were fighting fiercely couldn't help but look up, and Boss Yun was not surprised, after all, he had already learned Yang Ning and Hepingyan's supernatural martial arts, and when he was secretly happy, it was as if he was hit by a sledgehammer between his chest and abdomen, and his internal organs seemed to be turned over, Boss Yun screamed, and he had fallen from the roof of the car, and with his soft falling figure, a wooden arrow with a length of a foot slipped from his placket, and before it landed, it had been shattered into pieces of sawdust.
Boss Yun was suddenly attacked and fell to the ground, everyone in the caravan couldn't help but exclaim, and the guards who were fighting with the horse thieves were even more panicked, and the situation was reversed in an instant, but the horse thieves were very excited, shouting again and again, and they actually had the potential to attack the camp in one fell swoop.
Cui Lang on the top of the sand dunes naturally saw the changes in the battlefield, if it was according to the usual practice, he should have ordered an attack at this moment, but this time Cui Lang had no time to give orders, at the moment when Yun Boss fell to the ground, Pingyan had already fallen on the top of the dune, where the long sword fell, the two horse thieves staggered back with their throats, Pingyan was full of anger, the sword pointed directly at Cui Lang, Cui Lang only felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart, with his cultivation, how could he resist Pingyan's anger and murderous intent, fortunately, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was not so frightened by the murderous aura that his hands and feet were numb, with a sharp roar, he pulled out the spear behind his back and pointed at Pingyan, and shouted: "Who are you?"
Next to the bonfire, Yang Ning was stunned, Pingyan had already made a move, where could those horse thieves still care about killing the caravan, raised his eyes, and saw the sword aura on the top of the sand dune, Pingyan didn't pay attention to Cui Lang's question, just assassinated the horse thieves who rushed up to fight one by one, at this time, Yang Ning couldn't care about the original plan, several ups and downs had already arrived in front of the caravan's camp, a cold light burst out, and the six or seven horse thieves who bore the brunt of it immediately froze, but there was a thread of blood between their eyebrows slowly flowing, and in addition, there was no scar at all。
