After the second leader left, the big leader sighed and looked up at the rising sun in the east.

"If it were possible, I wouldn't even want to come to the prairie, and who would want to be an executioner, a horse bandit that everyone spits on?"

Raise your hands in front of you, and under the light of the morning sun, your hands are golden red, and it is blood that can't be washed away!

The longing in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by extreme disgust! He hated his hands, because there were too many innocent people's lives on them, and too much blood of the same kind!

He has been in the prairie for eight years, and in the past eight years, he has only found an eyeliner to determine that it is the caravan of the Tang Empire of Dongsheng Shenzhou who came here to do business, and he killed his own compatriots, and his compatriots from the same place!

Of those, 99.9 percent of the lives were innocent.

Thinking of his oath to join the army when he was young and swore to defend his family and the country and the people, now think about it, how ridiculous and pathetic!

A man whose hands were stained with the blood of the people he had sworn to protect, and whose lives were tens of thousands, every time he remembered it, every time he was awakened by a nightmare, he wanted to cut off his hands!

Lowering his hands, he looked at the short city wall, his gaze seemed to penetrate the wall, and the disgust disappeared again, replaced by a strong murderous intent.

"It's you, it's you, it's you, it's causing me to turn my back on my faith! Without you, I don't even have to come to the prairie! Tomorrow, it's all over!"

A whisper full of hatred came out, inaudible, and the murderous intent contained was enough to make people look sideways!

At least, Liu Feng, who peeped with his mind, was very surprised, he overheard the conversation between Li Zhao and Lao Zhao, and he also overheard the conversation between the big leader and the second leader.

"I really didn't expect that things are getting more and more interesting, just 2,500 people in a duel, there is a military advisor and a general, it's really interesting!"

Liu Feng smiled, this scene is really getting more and more exciting, that military advisor, Liu Feng didn't want to find it, but he didn't expect that it would be in front of his eyes, which was really laughable.

As for the big leader, he planted all the reasons why he wanted to live and betrayed his faith oath on Li Zhao, and the method of transferring hatred was really slippery.

Maybe part of the reason why the bald head betrayed the oath was for the sake of the clansmen, maybe part of the pressure from above, maybe there were many kinds of possibilities, but it cannot be denied that the biggest reason for his betrayal of the oath was that he didn't want to die.

He doesn't kill those innocent people, and when the news comes back, he's going to die, it's as simple as that, and there's nothing to hide for this reason.

In Liu Feng's heart, thousands of reasons can't compare to this reason, and he doesn't want to die. How many people in this world want to die?

It's just that some people's moral bottom line is higher, some are lower, some have stronger self-control, and some are weaker, so some people can be generous and righteous when they encounter such things, and some people will betray their faith and survive when they encounter such things.

Liu Feng had no doubt that if he was in a bald position, he would make the same choice.

Since he can't be generous and righteous, he naturally has no qualifications to despise others, but Liu Feng looks down on his bald head because he doesn't dare to face his heart.

If you do it, you will do it, and you will not dare to face your heart, and the path of cultivation will basically be cut off.

Fortunately, if the owner who provided the blood is not supported, the transformation of the witch guard will lose his memory in the pain of the transformation, leaving only the combat experience of the witch clan in the bloodline.

In fact, battlefield experience is sometimes like a layer of paper, and a plan that determines the outcome of the battlefield will appear without a flash of inspiration in your mind.

In this confrontation, in the end, the experienced bald head has the upper hand, Li Zhao is limited to experience, plus ten years of businessman, with inertial thinking, in this day, although a lot of preparations have been made, there is no measure to guard against the bald head.

The day passed in the busyness of both sides, and there was no caravan coming, and the ambush set by the horse bandits was useless.

The second night after being surrounded by horse bandits, it also passed peacefully, two consecutive nights plus one and a half days, the horse bandits did not attack the city, and the caravan led by Li Zhao was much more optimistic, and even in their sleep, they could bring a smile on their faces.

"Oh no! the horse bandits are about to attack the city!" Unfortunately, on the third day, as soon as the morning light was up, a panicked voice sounded, waking everyone in the fortress.

Li Zhao hurriedly climbed the city wall, holding a shield and quietly watching, the horse bandits did not directly attack the city, but their actions were more terrifying than the direct siege.

The horse bandits are digging a ditch, and it is only one hundred and fifty meters from the city wall!

At this distance, eight bows can easily shoot people to death, let alone ten bows!

But Li Zhao did not let Liu Feng and the others step forward to shoot arrows, because in front of the people digging the ditch, there was a row of horse bandits holding round shields, half-squatting, adopting a purely defensive posture.

A trained sergeant can easily defend against direct arrows within a hundred meters, not to mention that now with a hundred and fifty meters, ten bows are not easy to use.

Under the gaze of everyone, a slope trench facing the city wall was dug up, and the horse bandits came up with a new trick, the lowest of which was a log with a diameter of ten centimeters, and was smashed into the top of the slope up to three meters long, close to the position of the city wall.

The three-meter-long log is more than two meters deep when smashed into the ground, and after the distance is five meters, two logs are half a meter apart.

Every five meters, two logs, how long the walls are, how long these logs are.

The horse bandits' longbows were collected and placed on two logs half a meter apart, fixed one by one, exposing logs almost half a meter high on the ground, which could hold ten eight-dan bows.

Even though these bandits were not professionals, there were so many cow tendons and ropes that they even ripped off the pedals of the horses, joined the ropes together, and firmly fastened the longbows.

"Shopkeeper Li, what do you see these horse bandits doing? Why can't we understand it?"

Li Zhao's face was already pale, and in the cool morning, dense beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead, and there was a tendency to gather more and more.

At such a point, he was naturally able to guess the enemy's next move, but alas, he could not stop it, and the defeat was already predictable.

"Phew! Li Zhao listens! You have the most honorable surname in the Tang Dynasty! As a nobleman of Tianhuang! You actually join the rebels! You are willing to be a small military advisor! Plan money and military expenses for the rebels! You should be punished for your crimes!"

There was a loud shout, it was a military general, a bald shout, the sound shook the four fields, two hundred meters away from the city wall, and the eardrums of many merchants in the caravan who were still shaking were buzzing.

"Your Majesty has an order! Get rid of Li Zhao's status as a royal family! Everyone will be punished! Those who take Li Zhao's head! A reward of 1,000 taels! A fief of 100 miles!"

After a little slowdown, the bald head with a very tempting reward came to everyone's ears, at this moment, how many people were moved I don't know, but the person who secretly peeked at Li Zhao, under the observation of Liu Feng's cheating, was not less than half!

It can be said that as long as it is not Li Zhao's descendants, all of them have moved their minds, and even the caravan guards of Li Zhao's descendants have two eyes flashing with greedy eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thinking about the current position of Your Majesty, do you really think that this order was given by Your Majesty? Do you really think that this great chief, who should be a general, will let you go? Even if he really keeps his word, will you be able to obtain those promised benefits from the greedy bureaucrats with my head?"

Li Zhao's voice is not high, far less than a bald head, and not even as good as an ordinary person, but the words he said made those who were already excited wake up immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be fooled by trickery and fall into fratricidal warfare, for the enemy will be able to take the fortress without much effort. ”

"Those who take the blade Li Zhao will be rewarded, the participants will not be held accountable for their past mistakes, and those who resist to the end will be killed!"

"Think about the behavior of these people in the past few years, have you ever lived under the iron hoof?"

The mind was just lively, and Li Zhao's faint voice made everyone in the caravan feel completely cold, yes, the horse bandits didn't even let go of innocent people, let alone them, the people who stayed with the thieves?

But at the same time, the attitude towards Li Zhao's person has also changed from admiration to resentment.

I am a thief, it is not a pity to die, but I want to die with everyone, without this person, the horse bandits probably will not find them.

No one surrendered, the bald head did not persuade again, the longbow was fixed, ten bowstrings were wound together in the middle, and hemp rope the thickness of the thumb was connected, and in front of the city wall, every five meters, a huge armless crossbow appeared!

A slender plank was placed on the slope, apparently a crossbow arrow slot.

"Free Fire! Correction!"

"Whoa!"

After a neat and loud answer, the sergeants worked in groups of three, two drew their bows and one placed their crossbow arrows.

The so-called arrow trough is actually very simple, it is a wooden plank, with two long and finger-thick square logs, which can put a spear in it.

This improvised siege crossbow has no trigger or anything like that, and he can only use it by manpower.

The bald head is not a craftsman, he miscalculated the strength of the eight-dan bow, and as a result, the two of them could only pull away one step with all their strength!

If it is disassembled, it will take a long time, and it will take more effort than assembling it, and the bald head will not need the arrow groove at all, and directly let his subordinates stand in front of the bow and crossbow, fix a saddle on their shoulders, and kneel on the ground, and carry the gun on their shoulders to act as a fulcrum.

The three of them opened the bow, and it was only one and a half meters long, and the spear was four meters long, as long as the position of the sergeant at the fulcrum and the distance between the three sergeants who opened the bow reached more than three meters, it was an absolute safe distance, and the bowstring would never bounce to them.

"Hum~~~" A series of bowstring vibration sounds came from afar, and on the city wall, the shield held by an unlucky guy was shot by a wooden spear that came from it, and the round shield was vigorously knocked back and slapped on his head, and his brain burst on the spot!
