In the next two days, the caravan went all the way to the west and encountered several waves of camels from Xiliang to Longtouguai along the way. No abnormality was found. Mosaic was quite excited along the way, and she had to learn to sing with Feng Lao Si. After eating a few mouthfuls of sand, she honestly put on a windproof cap and a sand-proof towel.
After Huang Liuyi and Bai May 4 were killed by me, the wolf thief lost his eyeliner in the caravan and was unable to get the internal information of the caravan. After two days of being in peace, we found that there were three or four. The horse has always been far behind, maintaining the appearance of three or four miles, neither coming up nor overtaking us. How upright people were to lean in, and those people moved a distance away.
I also wondered that the spirit of stealing from wolves like the wind, killing people like numb, missed a hit, and immediately retreated, but has been unable to bear the attack.
After another two days, the number of wolf thieves who followed increased to more than 20 people. These people began to lean about one mile away and provoke unscrupulously in the distance. When Shen Luoyan dispatched the swordsman of the sword pavilion, they disappeared. .
The atmosphere in the convoy began to become serious. The harassment of the wolf thief over the past few days has made everyone exhausted. They neither attack nor leave, which is really annoying.
Feng Lao Si Dao: The wolves in the desert, when they see their prey, they usually don’t immediately pounce on them. Instead, they walk around, gradually blocking the prey’s escape route and culling them with the last blow. These wolf thieves are like the wolves in the desert. They follow the caravan and harass the caravan. One is that we are highly nervous and we have to take full precautions, and the other is that they are joining our peers. Today, we are prey surrounded by wolves, and this trip to Xiliang is probably not good.
After a few days, the number of wolf thieves increased to a hundred people. They followed far away during the day and constantly sent people to harass us at night. The reason why we did not immediately encircle and kill us was probably because we were afraid of the 21 swords in the Xiliangjian Pavilion in our team. The whole team depends on Shen Luoyan and these twenty-odd Jiange masters.
Although the number of wolf thieves is large, their temperament is cruel, and there are very few people with high martial arts skills, they may not be able to take advantage of them when they really fight.
Someone in the convoy began to collapse. There were two temporary darts who joined with us. They couldn't bear the psychological torment. They withdrew from the team, but after a few miles, they were chased by the wolf thief behind and shot to death with random arrows. . The head was cut off and tied to the horse to show off in front of us.
On this day, the clouds in the sky are like catkins and awl-shaped. He is looking at the sky far away with a solemn expression. I am afraid there will be a strong wind tonight. We will speed up and try to reach Sirius Fort before sunset.
After discussing with Shen Luoyan, the convoy speeded up its journey and arrived at Sirius Fort before the sun went down.
Sirius Fort is an abandoned dune castle in Xiliang, more than a hundred miles away from Yumen Pass and more than two hundred miles away from Donglai City, the easternmost part of Xiliang. According to legend, it was once the deputy capital of the king of the Sirius Kingdom. The Kingdom of Sirius defeated Sirius Fort, and the king died in the castle. After the founding of Xiliang, he conquered all the parts of the Western Regions all the way to the west, establishing a Ming where the country was governed by Confucianism, founded by Buddhism, and the prairie culture was integrated with the Central Plains culture. Belongs to Fanbang country.
Sirius Fort is just a solitary city at this time. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east. The slope is extremely slow. It covers an area of no more than two acres. Because there is a small oasis behind the fort, the past business travelers usually choose to rest here. Some worn-out dishes and leftover food left by the caravan were in a mess.
There are more and more pirates outside the castle, nearly a thousand people, gradually occupying the surroundings of the castle, and they may rush in at any time.
Standing on the wall of the old castle, Feng Lao Si said with a solemn expression, I am afraid that this time it is not only the wolf thief and the eagle caravan, but the four bandits have already arrived. The four gangsters are rampant in Mobei on weekdays, and they can’t understand each other. There is even a gap between them. What is in this batch of goods that can cause the four gangsters to join forces
Of course it is Xiliang’s Jade Seal, not only merchants, but these bandits are also unprofitable. With the support of the Northern Zhou imperial family and Guan Long Li’s family, even if it is a risk to offend Xiliang Jiange, if this is done, the benefits will be great. Yes, these words can't follow the old fourth.
On the 5th or 6th, nearly a thousand people from the four major bandits finally got together and trapped our caravan in Sirius Fort. He Qizheng said that there was a sandstorm at night. If nothing else, it is estimated that they will do it tonight.
Shen Luoyan and He Qizheng surrounded everyone and explained the current situation clearly to everyone. Those of us who have been licking blood for many years, it is good to say that several groups of businessmen such as Mosaic were almost shocked, and I think they too. It's very unlucky. I wanted to follow the Yanmen Escort to try to be safe, but unexpectedly suffered a disaster.
As night fell, the surrounding wolf thieves lit torches, enclosing Sirius Fort. The first person is riding a group of yellow-brown horses with loose hair on his shoulders and wearing a gold wolf head mask.
This person is the leader of the wolf thief. Although Mobei wolf thief is famous, the identity of the big wolf head is quite mysterious. Even the Dengwenyuan has few records of this person.
In our team, the 21 swordsmen of Xiliang Jiange headed by Shen Luoyan have the strongest combat effectiveness. Yanmen Escort and us, except for how they are third-rank masters, are all fourth-ranks. If there is a fight, no more than five people will be able to escape alive in the face of the four bandits.
When playing darts in Central Plains, those green forest ringing horses generally rob the goods and do not kill people. The robbing is nothing but money. After the dart is thrown, the darts are found to mediate, give some money to establish contacts, and those who rob the darts will return the goods. But this set simply does not work on the side of the four bandits, and they never make a living.
Dalangtou rode his horse forward and his voice was extremely hoarse. The old pavilion owner of Xiliangjian Pavilion was kind to me.
I secretly praise this big wolf head's speaking level. The wolf thief has harassed the convoy for days and brought great psychological pressure to everyone. Now the trend of encirclement has been established. World War I is inevitable, but the swordsman of Xiliangjian Pavilion has superior combat effectiveness. , If you stand a fight, I am afraid that the wolf thief will also lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
In this desert with the weak and the strong, the reduction of the team means the weakening of the combat power, which means that the chance of being swallowed by other horse thieves and bandits greatly increases. Therefore, Dalangtou's remarks hoped that Xiliang Jiange would be able to pick up from this matter, and concentrate on dealing with the Yanmen Escort in this way.
At this time, I also understood why the wolf thief had been reluctant to do it on the road. In addition to wanting to fight a psychological warfare to bring us down, attacking halfway through, we can flee everywhere, making it difficult to hunt down. But here, we only have a last stand. It is estimated that they have already thought about pushing us into Sirius Fort before they do it.
Shen Luoyan said coldly, a group of gangsters who dare not show their true colors, what qualifications do they have to talk to this girl? The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is located in the ancient castle, and you have the ability to personally pick it up.
I said to my heart that my eldest lady is now a widow, and if you talk like this, it is tantamount to seeking your own death. However, I began to admire Shen Luoyan. Although he was temperamental and unreasonable, he managed things without any ambiguity and was quite heroic.
The big wolf said a few good words, and the sword had no eyes. Girl Shen had to be careful.
He Qizheng gathered some of our temporary escorts together, and let us take the caravan and leave from the slope of Houbao, where the terrain is steep and not conducive to horse-riding pursuit.
What am I asking you
What a right way, we Yanmen Escort, people are darts, since we took this dart this time, then naturally we will share life and death with this dart!
At the beginning, our Zhongyuan Escort Club Yanbei Road competed with them for this dart. If the bid is successful, it is probably the Zhongyuan Escort Club facing this situation at this time.
I also sincerely admire He Qizheng's righteousness and strictness. The question is, even if these businessmen escaped from the castle and entered the desert, how sure would they survive after being chased by the wolf thieves
The old fourth Guyanfeng outside the Great Wall was the most experienced. As a temporary leader, he took advantage of Shen Luoyan and the wolf thief to face off in front, abandoned the goods, brought some necessities, and led more than ten people such as Mosaic to escape from Houbao.
Not long after they had escaped, a wolf thief spotted them, and more than ten horses rode the nearest wolf thief to chase them there.
Whizzing! A rain of arrows shot out from the ancient castle, and the twenty people and twenty bows of the Xiliangjian Pavilion shot those who were chasing them to death.
Dalangtou has been talking to a few people around him, and he refuses to initiate the command of the general attack. If you guessed it correctly, the four big bandits are not monolithic inside, and no one wants to use their own hands to attack the first wave. After all, the reputation of Xiliangjian Pavilion is there.
After a while, dozens of people from each of the four major bandits were drawn out to form a cavalry team of two hundred men. Amidst the shouts, they approached Sirius Fort step by step.
Xiao Wu and Shen Luo Yandao, the small pavilion master, will fight later, if there is a chance to withdraw, don't worry about us!
Shen Luoyan was silent. At this moment, she saw me in the old castle and asked: Why didn't you go with them
I said that I have some friendship with Master He. How can we not stay and help out in the battle of Sirius Castle today
Although these ****s are wearing masks, they still deliberately hide from them, just because they are afraid of being recognized by him. He Qizheng looked at me in surprise, but couldn't remember whether he had dealt with me. With a wry smile, Brother Niu said that although his righteousness is thin, he is too bad today, and it is really unwise to stay.
I said it’s okay, just give me a few taels of silver at that time.
Shen Luoyan disdainfully said, Cai is confused!
Each of these swordsmen had no more than ten bows and arrows. After a rain of arrows, the four great bandits lay down a dozen people. These bandits had mixed paths, but they were all six or seven rank masters, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Shen Luoyan mounted his horse, a dragon chanted, and the sword was unsheathed.
Jiange, draw your sword!
Twenty-one Jiange cavalry all drew out their long swords, holding the sword in their right hand and standing in front of their chests.
I saw the twenty-one swordsmen with solemn expressions, a thick and bitter recitation, neatly and uniformly, speaking from their mouths, as if they were telling a trivial thing.
The long night is approaching, and I will fight from now on until I die.
I will not marry a wife, no fief, and no children. I will not wear a crown, nor will I compete for honor. I will do my duty faithfully and live and die.
I am the sword in the dark, the guard on the sword pavilion, against the cold flames, the wind and sand of the desert, the light at dawn, the horn of awakening the sleeper, and the shield of Xiliang.
I dedicate my life and glory to the sword pavilion, so tonight, every night.
The sound floated in the night sky, and the atmosphere seemed extremely depressed.
Shen Luoyan pointed to the front and calmly said: Jiange, take the sword!
