Chapter 1480: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (24)
On the unnamed hill, the Qing'an caravan had just completed its defensive arrangements when the enemies couldn't wait to surround them.
One or two thousand thieves crowded across the wilderness in a dense mass, their eyes flashing with greed and bloodthirsty, as if they were wolves staring at the sheep, eagerly baring their claws.
These bandits are not ordinary refugees. Most of them are strong and equipped with spears, guns, axes, and a small number of bows and arrows. Their actions are quite orderly, and they are absolutely a simple mob.
Moreover, among the rogue bandits, there were some well-equipped leaders active, shouting and boosting their morale from time to time.
The bandits stopped only about half a mile away from the caravan.
They did not launch an attack rashly, but simply surrounded the caravan on the hill and assumed a watchful posture.
It seems to be waiting for something.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen in the temporary camp asked someone to move a big box.
The box was very heavy and required four men to move it.
The box was placed in front of Wang Chen, and he drew his sword and cut off the copper lock hanging on it.
Then he kicked open the lid of the box.
The caravan members gathered around couldn't help but take a breath.
Because this box is filled with extremely fine snowflake silver, it makes people's hearts beat just looking at it.
Although everyone knows that this time they came to Yunze Mansion to buy food, the caravan brought a large amount of gold and silver.
But knowing it and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different things!
Wang Chen stepped on the silver box and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen the situation now. We are being targeted by thieves. If we don't get rid of these jackals, let alone bring the food home, everyone's lives may not be saved."
preservation."
"I plan to attack these bandits while their numbers are still small. Which of you is willing to kill the enemy with me?"
So many thieves and bandits are definitely not the same group. It is probably that the wandering thieves and bandits in Yunze Mansion knew that there was a fat sheep passing by, but one or two teams could not eat it, so they spread the word to summon similar people to share the food.
Therefore, it is definitely not a wise choice to defend on this mountain with no water source. The enemy force is not very strong at present, so it is the best time to rush in and kill.
But how many can Wang Chen kill by himself?
The caravan guards looked at each other, and dozens of them immediately stepped forward and saluted in unison: "I am willing to die for you, sir!"
These guards are all veterans of the garrison. They once followed Wang Chen to kill the bandits on the wall of Qing'an County, so they admire and trust Wang Chen the most.
Moreover, they have killed people and seen blood, so they have a sense of bravery and respond most positively.
"very good!"
Wang Chen kicked over the silver box, and dozens of ingots of snowflakes and silver poured out.
"Everyone takes one ingot first, and after killing the bandits, there will be a heavy reward!"
To make people sacrifice their lives, you must have enough money. Wang Chen doesn't like to paint a bigger picture for others, especially when the enemy is facing the current situation.
"We are also willing to serve sir!"
The bodyguards and escorts then asked for a fight.
In addition to being stimulated by the silver coins all over the floor, they are basically locals of Qing'an County. They are well aware of the importance of this batch of food to their hometown. If they cannot take it back, their families may not be able to eat.
The most important thing is, when you are surrounded by bandits, how can you survive if you don't fight back desperately?
Surrender is impossible, surrender will definitely lead to death!
Then why not follow Wang Chen and fight to the death?
"very good!"
Wang Chen selected three hundred elite men, equipped them with weapons, and took out a long wooden box from under a carriage.
??????55.??????
The wooden box contains a long handle and a long blade. When assembled together, they become a Mo Dao that is over eight feet long!
Wang Chen asked the best craftsmen in the official workshop to forge this Mo Dao specifically for this food purchase mission. The blade is made of thousand-forged fine iron, and it can be easily cut open after concentrating its internal strength.
Heavy armor.
When Wang Chen mentioned this Mo Dao, which was taller than himself, the blade reflected a cold light, shocking everyone present!
"Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Wang Chen rushed out of the camp and killed the bandits under the hill.
Three hundred Ruis followed closely behind!
This scene made the thieves dumbfounded.
They have a numerical advantage and can be regarded as local snakes. They want to trap the Qing'an caravan here and eat it bit by bit, and in the end they can always eat the most delicious fat.
But they never expected that the Qing'an caravan completely ignored common sense and actually launched an attack.
Seeing the menacing three hundred warriors, many thieves became afraid and subconsciously stepped back.
"Don't panic!"
A bandit leader shouted angrily: "Archers, prepare, shoot them to death for me!"
At this time, Wang Chen was less than half a mile away from the nearest bandit.
He charged very fast, thus greatly widening the distance between him and the three hundred warriors behind him.
Forming a straight-forward trend.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Hundreds of arrows were shot at Wang Chen.
Although these arrows were shot out in a hurry and looked messy, they were still densely packed and completely enveloped Wang Chen.
"break!"
Wang Chen suddenly raised his head and roared angrily, and an invisible wave of air suddenly exploded, deflecting all the arrows aimed at him.
The next moment, Wang Chen suddenly accelerated his charge, holding the Mo Dao soaring like flying, and rushed in front of the nearest bandit in an instant.
call!
The long Mo Dao swept out, the sharp blade emitting a cold aura, and killed two thieves at the same time with one blow.
The two thieves all held shields in front of them, but they were like paper under the sharp edge of Mo Dao, and they did not play any defensive role.
He was actually cut into four pieces by Wang Chen with his sword and shield!
The thieves who were cut in half and fell to the ground did not die immediately. They let out a shrill and desperate howl, which officially kicked off this tragic battle.
Wang Chen did not stop, he rushed into the middle of the thieves, waving his knife left and right, causing a bloody storm!
No bandit can stop Wang Chen's blade.
This eight-foot-long Mo Dao has an astonishing range of damage, and is invincible in Wang Chen's hands, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of batches of enemies.
"die!"
A bandit leader with scarlet eyes roared and jumped up high, condescendingly slashing at Wang Chen's head with his sword.
As a result, before his men could fall, a sharp sword flashed through, and blood rained all over the sky.
The bandits, not a neat formation, fell apart in an instant.
These thieves came here to make a fortune rather than to fight for their lives. Seeing their companions around them being killed in batches like wheat swept by a scythe, and listening to their tragic wails, all of them were heartbroken.
Many thieves turned around and ran away, even dropping their weapons.
