Under the dark night, a cavalry team of nearly two hundred people was rushing toward the southeast at high speed. It was this group of feared horse bandits and gray wolves in the Gobi Desert that connected the two countries of Liao and Xia. However, unlike the previous excitement when they were about to launch a fatal blow to their prey, there was no joy on the faces of these people this time, but instead there was a bit of anger and suspicion.
Just because the behavior of the prey they were targeting this time was really beyond their expectations, the prey actually stayed by the Nacaima Lake and had no intention of continuing to take advantage of the cool night to head west. On the contrary, Let the snare they laid before become a decoration.
Yes, in fact, when the caravan entered Caima Lake, their movements were completely under the control of the Gray Wolf group, at least that's how it should be. But as a result, when the other party stopped, they were a little confused about what to do, and even made people doubt whether their whereabouts had been noticed by the caravan.
But even so, after careful consideration, the gray wolf leader decided to attack the caravan tonight, because they had already poisoned the lake water before. The toxicity has weakened, and if you want to kill them again, you will have to pay a high price. And they also believed that these two hundred or so powerful horse bandits were enough to completely annihilate the caravan of only more than a hundred people.
After galloping like this for more than an hour, they stopped their horses when they arrived about ten miles away from Caima Lake. Then they all dismounted and walked, quietly heading towards the quiet caravan camp by the lake. After getting closer, they could even vaguely see a few bonfires lit there, as well as a few figures guarding the tents.
Caima Lake is a rare and good place in the Gobi. Not only does it have a large lake covering an area of several acres, but there is also some lush greenery on the low hills on both sides of the lake, with trees of all sizes growing on it. , it will rustle when a gust of wind blows, making the surrounding environment become more and more deep and quiet.
Seeing the quiet scene here, the faces of the horse bandits finally showed ferocious and cruel smiles again. At this time, there was only less than three miles away from the camp. As long as the horses galloped, they could kill those fat sheep in the blink of an eye. Kill them as they wake from their sleep!
The horse bandits, who had long been accustomed to doing all this, did not need to give orders from their leader. They got on their horses at the most suitable place at the same time. Then, after whipping their whips fiercely, they rode their horses and rushed out to kill the camp.
Hundreds of powerful horse hooves rumbled on the ground, like bursts of thunder. The ground began to tremble up and down, and ripples appeared on the calm lake surface. The sharp steel knives were unsheathed and held high as the galloping horses moved forward. Everyone let out shouts like wolf howls, thinking of destroying the will of everyone in the caravan the moment they entered the camp. Even if some of them are not poisoned, there is no way to escape from them!
Just when the horse bandits rushed towards the camp like wolves pounced on prey, a look of surprise and suspicion suddenly appeared on the leader's face: "No, this is so wrong!" Until then , the entire camp was still quiet, without any movement. This was really contrary to common sense.
Although the speed of their attack was slow, it would take some time to reach three miles away. Even if those businessmen had fallen asleep, some people should have run out of their tents to take a look.
After all, it's better to escape for one's life. But now? The entire camp was still quiet, as if there was no one inside at all.
There was actually no one in the camp... In an instant, the ferocious wolf had understood and immediately shouted loudly: "There is a scam here, get out!" This time he was finally sure that he had met a real opponent. The caravan's abnormal behavior His behavior was just to plot against them!
When a caravan learned that their home was being targeted by a notorious gray wolf in the Gobi desert, what they wanted to do was not to flee for their lives, but to plot against them! This alone can make the ferocious wolf feel cold and his emotions are not going well.
But those horse bandits had already lost their temper. Even if they heard the leader's greeting, how could they stop their horses immediately? Only some people reined in their horses with all their strength, but they still rushed out for a certain distance due to inertia, and then something happened. It happened under the horrified gaze of everyone behind.
Ahead, those companions who were rushing at the front suddenly screamed, and the ground suddenly collapsed, taking dozens or twenty horses down with them. Accompanied by the rumble of the ground sinking, there were continuous screams. It was obvious that the casualties of those who went down were quite high.
Then the terrible thing of ground subsidence also happened in other places, and horse bandits who rushed too fast kept falling down. The moment the ferocious wolf shouted that it was a scam, nearly fifty people fell into the pit, and screams filled the entire camp.
It was only then that they truly realized that this merchant camp was clearly a big trap, a huge trap designed to lure them into a trap! Then, the horse bandit who almost fell into the pit also exclaimed: "There are barbs in the pit, they are so poisonous!"
Yes, this pit is obviously not enough to cause too much damage to the horse bandits, so on this basis, there are actually arm-thick barbs planted underneath. At this time, most of the men and horses who fell into the pit had barbs piercing their bodies. They were struggling and screaming underneath, and their blood was bleeding. It looked so miserable, and it also made those guys who were always cruel and easy to kill feel fear for the first time. Heart comes.
what to do? How to save them? This was the thought that almost everyone had at this moment. Although they had no mercy for the innocent businessmen, they were still very loyal to their brothers. At this time, the first thing they thought of was to save people, so many of them began to dismount their horses and move forward. .
But at this time, the ferocious wolf changed its color again and roared: "Don't worry about them anymore, turn around and leave here!" Since the opponent dug a trap here and intended to kill himself, there was no way he could only use this move. Now that they have caused heavy casualties to their own family before they show up, won't the situation be even more dangerous when they show up
It's a pity that his reminder was a little late. Just when everyone was stunned and didn't know whether to save people anymore, an arrow flew from the low hill on the side with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. , with a puff, it was nailed into the side of the neck of an unprepared horse bandit, causing him to fall off the horse.
This arrow made the faces of Fierce Wolf and others change again. The opponent actually had such a powerful person! The short hill was about eighty steps away, and it was actually able to hit the neck with one arrow. This archery skill was extremely accurate! But the nightmare suddenly came at this moment. This arrow not only killed a horse bandit, but also spread the news to others.
After the order was given, hundreds of sharp arrows rained down from the low hills on both sides.
In the blink of an eye, the dense arrows roared towards him. Although the accuracy of these arrows was far worse than the first arrow, such a large area of coverage was extremely lethal to the horse bandits. In just the blink of an eye, thirty or forty people were hit by arrows, and they screamed in agony. Everlasting.
But the speed of the person shooting arrows over there did not slow down because of this. A shower of arrows flew towards this side as if they were free, constantly harvesting those who were already panicking to the extreme and could only run around in private. The life of the horse bandit. After all, they are just bandits and not an army. They can still show some bravery when fighting against the wind, but once they are passive, they are completely in chaos. Especially since this horse bandit has always had smooth sailing over the years and has never suffered a loss, let alone the experience of fighting against headwinds.
So, the ferocious wolf screamed at the top of his lungs, and the brothers around him ran around like headless flies. Some of them even fell directly into the pit to avoid the flying arrows, and their deaths were even more miserable. .
Seeing that the defeat had been decided, the ferocious wolf was completely speechless. He immediately changed his mind and led his twenty or so calm accomplices, waving their weapons to block the flying arrows, and rushed outside. . It is impossible for them to stand up this time, so the only right thing to do is to escape from this place quickly, and don't think about revenge or anything. ,
But they wanted to leave, but some people refused to let go. Just as they were lapping their horses and rushing out, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from the low hill, and then more than twenty knights came out of the darkness, shouting to kill, and chased them.
The ferocious wolf group had no fighting spirit at this time and originally just wanted to leave immediately. However, the horses under their crotches had slowed down a lot because they had galloped in before. In addition, the other party continued to fire arrows while pursuing them, and they actually killed three more people. Seeing that if he continues like this, he will only die faster and more painfully. The ferocious wolf finally roared, turned his horse's head, stopped running for his life, and instead started to kill the enemy. Either you die or I die!
At this time, the faces of the more than 20 people who were also rushing towards the scene were filled with excitement and joy. At the same time, many people had great respect for Sun Tu, who had arranged all this.
Who would have thought that when they encountered Gray Wolf and this group of horse bandits, they would actually choose to turn around and kill each other? When those vicious wolves thought they were hunting prey, in fact they had already become the prey of this horse dealer caravan. Who says businessmen must be harmonious to make money? Which of these businessmen who dare to travel thousands of miles to sell horses between the two countries is not courageous, capable, and cruel? Not only that, they also carried a large number of weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows for self-defense, so they were able to turn around and kill the horse bandits today by catching them off guard!
Among these people, Feng Ping, who was rushing to the front with Sun Tu, was the most murderous at this time. While rushing forward, he was already gritting his teeth. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. He recognized the ferocious wolf at a glance, the culprit who almost killed him and killed many of his brothers. So the moment he made contact with the enemy, he swung his sword straight to the throat of the ferocious wolf: "Thief, it's time to pay back the blood debt of three years ago!"
