Chapter 468 Horse Bandits (2)

The Zhabu River is one of the few open water sources on the road.

Especially this area is the Gobi Desert. There is such a river with lush water and grass, which not only attracts all kinds of wild animals to come to drink water, but also is a waterfowl paradise, and it is also a hunting ground for wolves and leopards with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Every winter and spring, the snow-capped mountains are frozen and the rivers are dried up, exposing a large area of ​​muddy riverbanks, making it inconvenient for people and animals to walk.

Fortunately, Song Erlang and the others have paved a road with pebbles, and there is no obstacle to the passage now, they just need to find the shallows to wade across the river.

Zhao Tingduo has traveled between Hecheng and Mida River Valley many times, and he is also very familiar with the terrain in this area.

Knowing that there is a river beach in front of you, you need to go a long way to cross the river, and it is safe to stay away from the water source.

The setting of each rest stop is planned, which is exactly the day's journey of the carriage.

With the speed of my group, I have to hurry up.

When Wei Er and the others turned around and did not catch the peeping person, the team set off again.

Mr. Yu sat on the carriage, and the guards looked around.

Song Liyun and Zhao Tingduo rode in front, and Wu Dan followed closely behind.

Jian Fangtong also got news that the merchant had gone to Zhabu River.

In front of the convoy, Song Liyun and Zhao Tingduo walked side by side.

The two chatted a few words from time to time, and the horse trotted casually. In the eyes of outsiders, they seemed like a couple who believed in their horses.

Song Liyun quietly handed the binoculars to Zhao Tingduo, and said in a low voice, "Ten meters away to our right, there are two people hiding in the grass."

Zhao Tingduo remained calm, took it and pretended to look around with the binoculars, and saw the ambushes around him, and felt relieved.

Most of these horse bandits came from other places, lack of experience, and unfamiliar with the terrain.

Not only did they not arrange manpower for the easiest place by the river, but they also left too far away.

As long as he disrupts the rhythm, the encirclement circle of this group of horse bandits will be broken.

Beside, Wu Dan's small face was tense, he didn't hear what the young master and young lady were saying clearly, but he could see the clue from the actions of the two of them, it was found that there were horse bandits around!

After Zhao Tingduo observed the surrounding situation, he returned the telescope to Song Liyun and asked her to put it away carefully.

He didn't dare to keep such a precious item by his side, if he bumped into it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Wu Dan, tell Mr. Yu that we are going to rush forward for a certain distance, and ask him to sit still and support him. Ayun, you are with Mr. Yu too."

He has found the traces of the horse bandits and quickly prepared for battle.

There were more horse bandits than he had imagined, and he had already seen the other party's plan.

The ambush on both sides was intended to attack from the rear side when the carriage crossed the river.

In this way, the carriage could not stay in the river and could only rush forward.

Being in the water, the guards couldn't run back and forth, so they had to stay behind.

Then the real ambush must be on the other side of the river beach.

When the carriage lost its guard rushed to the river bank, it had to face the butcher's knife of the horse bandit.

Except for the cobblestone road under his feet, the surroundings are muddy mess, even if he runs, he moves slowly.

This is how the sheepdog drives the flock every day.

Song Linyun was also taken aback when he saw that Zhao Tingduo was about to speed up suddenly.

She didn't understand military affairs, and she clearly felt that the other party had laid a pocket, just waiting for her group to get into it.

Now Zhao Tingduo is advancing instead of retreating. Could it be that he has another plan?

Thinking that Zhao Tingduo had fought countless battles in the past two years, and would not make such low-level mistakes, Song Liyun had absolute trust in him, and only silently took out the military thorns he hadn't used for a long time.

In the rear, Mr. Yu and others got the news and immediately urged the horse to run.

The wheels rolled, kicking up a cloud of dust in the sand.

The guards guarded the carriage in the middle and quickly rushed to the Zhabu River without any hesitation.

Almost at this moment, all the horse bandits in the grass stood up with a confused look on their faces: "Why did they suddenly start running?"

"They wanted to escape, surround, surround, catch alive."

"Quick, catch up, don't let people rush out!"

Whistles sounded one after another, and the horses that had been crushed in the hollow stood up.

The horse bandit came out of his hiding place and chased the carriage to the river beach.

The sound of horseshoes, shouting and cursing, and the pursuit of dozens of horses made the calm river suddenly boil,
On the spacious mudflat of the Zhabu River, five carriages ran between the guards, panicked but not chaotic.

200 meters in front of the carriage, a black horse rushed forward like a javelin.

Zhao Tingduo was standing on the stirrups, his low-lying body merged with the galloping handsome horse, and the fluttering cloak was drawn straight behind him.

Behind him, Song Liyun hugged the fast-running horse's neck tightly to prevent herself from falling off.

On the other side, Wu Dan looked at her nervously, and shouted: "Young Madam, the Young Master wants you to get into the carriage!"

After more than a year of training, Song Liyun's riding skills are better than ordinary people, which are also ordinary people, and cannot be compared with Zhao Tingduo and Wu Dan who grow on horseback.

Just now, Zhao Tingduo wanted Song Liyun, who was the worst rider among all, to ride with Mr. Yu in a carriage.

But Song Liyun did not accept it. She felt that although her riding skills were not as good as others, she was flexible on horseback.

Behind the three of them, as the horse bandits approached, when the five carriages were about to step into the river, they suddenly turned quickly and went downstream along the sandy land by the river.

The guards at the side also turned their horses in unison, and the running horses turned their heads on the spot under the exquisite horse control skills.

This sudden change of direction caught the horse bandit who was chasing after him off guard, and the distance between the two sides instantly narrowed.

Because someone was needed to drive the car, there were only ten guards at this time.

Facing thirty horse bandits holding scimitars, the ten-member team made one move at the same time: they took out the black army crossbow from under the felt on the side of the saddle.

The crossbow is small and exquisite, the whole body is dark, and even the arrows are black and shiny.

The guards moved neatly and neatly. When the horse bandits reacted, the two sides were already close at hand, almost colliding with each other.

"These people have arrows, brothers, be careful! Shoot with arrows!"

Someone among the horse bandits shouted and began to take out their own arrows in a panic.

They were lying in ambush in the grass just now and were not ready to attack. When they met the carriage, they suddenly accelerated and ran without warning. They opened the distance and had no chance to shoot arrows.

Now that the distance is close, there is also no chance. Before the horse bandits pulled the bowstring, they heard a sound of "scrambling".

The bandits on horseback fell to the ground one by one like cut wheat.

At this wrong time, the two gangs strangled together.

With one against two, the guards of the Zhenbei Army held a knife in one hand and an iron crossbow in the other.

Picking up and down, skilled in bowing and horses, the horse bandits would have no power to fight back as long as they faced each other, and fell off their horses one after another.

Several horse bandits were shot through their heads with an arrow, and they were already out of breath.

At this time, the horse bandits also saw clearly the iron crossbows in the hands of these guards.

Gale Wind Broken Strength Grass, this is a special iron crossbow, the arrows it shoots are made of composite steel, piercing armor and piercing armor.

The rest of the horse bandits exclaimed: "This is the Blast Camp of the Zhenbei Army!"
