Chapter 15 A group of soldiers and bandits, a nest of snakes and rats
Thanks to book friend "Shy De Xiao Yao" for the reward.

The manpower dispatched by Anhong quickly reported back the news that unknown forces were present nearby. It was initially determined that they were hostile to the caravan and were definitely not unrelated passers-by.[]
Gao Xu's optional missions were there. Even if he didn't need to investigate, there would definitely be enemies ambushing him around. An Hong's actions were just a matter of foreknowledge and turning passivity into initiative. The result was still the same: a big battle.
After learning the reliable news, An Hong hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zeyue and Gao Xu to come over and explain the matter. Zeyue was first surprised and then happy, clasping his fists and saying: "Uncle Hong has given instructions, and my nephew is all right."
Obey, this time this group of thieves will come and go!"
Gao Xu also agreed on the surface, but he thought in his heart: "I just don't know whether the two waves of offensives will still follow the original order? Or will they be combined into one wave? If unfortunately it is the latter, I am afraid that the optional tasks will have to be discarded.
Already..."
Since the main missions and optional missions are separated, the difficulty is very different. The normal process should be like this: the Longyou Gang's caravan is attacked first, but the enemy is not strong. The Anlong Caravan will stand by and watch.
There is no guarantee that the goods will not be damaged. Zeyue's safety depends on the reincarnation's ability.
After the plot of the main mission is over, the reincarnator can choose to stay for 24 hours. At this time, it is estimated that the Longyou Gang and Anlong Caravan will part ways due to the previous conflicts. If the reincarnator wants to complete the optional mission, he can find an excuse.
, follow Anlong's caravan to deal with the second wave of attacks.
According to the optional mission prompts, the enemies of Anlong's caravan are undoubtedly much stronger than those of the Longyou Gang, so the second mission is also protection. Zeyue needs to prevent him from being injured, while Anhong only needs to avoid losing his life.
The difference can be imagined!
If the two waves of attacks are still one after another, but the time is advanced, then the prepared caravan will be able to deal with it more easily. In other words, under Gao Xu's control, the difficulty of the task has been reduced again!
However, Gao Xu, who is familiar with the rules of space, knows that this situation is unlikely, because the main mission is already D level and cannot be reduced.
Since you can't go down, you can only go up. The interference of the reincarnators leads to an increase in the difficulty of the plot. This is very common. Merging two waves of enemies with different purposes is really a trivial matter in terms of space.
If the enemy swarms over, even if the two caravans work together, it will probably be a hard fight, and it will be almost impossible to ensure the integrity of all the goods.
In order to gain speed, Gao Xu used a sharp knife to cut through the mess, but the preparations in other aspects were seriously insufficient. Therefore, when he could not take both into account, he would definitely focus on the Longyou Gang's goods first. After all, the main mission failed.
Not only will the points be deducted, but the clearance evaluation will also be reduced, which is a huge loss. If the optional mission is successful, it will be successful. If it is not successful, as long as An Hong's life is saved, it will be a victory.
But it turns out that Gao Xu's thinking was a bit simple this time.
He did not expect that the two waves of enemies that attacked the caravan would form a complementary situation when combined. The result was: one plus one is far greater than two.
After discovering the enemy's traces, Zeyue once proposed to drive all night to find a more favorable terrain to set up defense and wait for the enemy to fall into his trap. However, the mature and prudent An Hong decided to stay on guard and recharge his batteries to remain unchanged.
Be adaptable to changes.
Gao Xu also disagreed with traveling overnight, because it would be easy to be attacked on the way and it would be more difficult to defend. However, the terrain nearby was very flat and there were no natural barriers to use. Zeyue's idea was correct.
.
Even though the guards of the Anlong caravan were stronger than the Longyou Gang, they still managed to scare the snake. Early the next morning, the sound of peripheral warnings rang throughout the sky...
The enemy is coming!
The wind stirred the loneliness in the mountains and forests, bringing with it the smell of bloodshed and killing.
In the open mountains, a large number of enemies soon showed their ferocious figures. Gao Xu's eyes moved and his face became serious, but at this moment An Hong laughed and said mockingly: "Even the bandits dare to attack us.
idea?"
You can't blame An Hong for underestimating the enemy. It's just that the enemies were poorly dressed. Some were wearing half a suit of armor, some were wearing rags, and some didn't even have a shield. They took a broken pot at home and held it in front of them.
, it looks both funny and pitiful.
Judging from the appearance alone, although the number of enemies is large, they are just a mob, and there is nothing to fear.
The ones rushing in the front row were indeed bandits. Their steps were scattered, their eyes were dull, and their movements were a little stiff. However, Gao Xu was keenly aware that those following this wave of bandits were completely different types of people!
The weapons and equipment remained unchanged, tattered, and full of strange things, but their expressions were extremely solemn, with pairs of sinister and cold eyes staring ahead, exuding a strong aura of war:
Cold-blooded, cruel, and murderous!
These people are not bandits, they are clearly battle-hardened soldiers!
One of the worlds that Gao Xu knew best in his previous life was Swordsman Love, so he was able to identify the Hundred-Slash Kuanglan Gun in Zhang Yao's hands and the many goods sold by Lin Jie based on their appearance alone.
The most distinctive feature of the romance between swordsmen and swordsmen is the successive wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties. No matter which camp the reincarnators are on, they cannot avoid going into battle to kill the enemy.
In fact, most reincarnations are unwilling to face war, because their strength is much higher than that of ordinary people. They can look around and kill people on weekdays, but in a frontal battlefield, their personal role is very limited. Unless it is really
Only when you are so strong that you can fight against thousands or ten thousand enemies, you can run rampant, but there are basically no reincarnations with that kind of strength in the first difficulty level.
However, everything has two sides. Over time, many people have discovered that reincarnations who have experienced the baptism of war can cope more calmly and calmly, whether they are facing the dilemma of one against many or the dilemma of life and death. This advantage
The temptation for reincarnations is too great, so Swordsman Love has become a popular world in East Asia, and Gao Xu is often a part of it.
Therefore, Gao Xu was extremely sensitive to the aura of war. Even if the enemy tried to cover it up, he would be completely exposed under his penetrating gaze.
"Young Gang Leader, the situation is not right, the enemy is deceitful, look at their feet!" In view of this, Gao Xu immediately said to Zeyue, his voice was so loud that even An Hong next to him could hear clearly.
The two caravan leaders subconsciously followed Gao Xu's prompts and couldn't help but change their expressions, because except for the real group of bandits who were barefoot and shirtless, or wearing tattered straw sandals, the group of soldiers in the rear were all neat and solid.
fur boots!
Such flaws can be seen at a glance!
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, these soldiers are not used to charging in the mountains and forests. If they are barefoot like the bandits, their speed will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, which will have a serious impact on the plan to chase the enemy and kill them all.
Of course, they originally thought that among the bandits, most people would not notice the difference under their feet. Once they rushed into the crowd, even if they noticed it, it would not matter...
This is indeed the case. Even if An Hong and Zeyue reacted and immediately ordered the guards to be more vigilant and kill the enemy with all their strength, it would still be too late!
Many of the guards carried crossbows and shot the bandits who were charging at the front, and then showed a look of relief, thinking that the enemy was nothing more than this and was simply vulnerable.
Then, they came face to face with those wolves in sheep's clothing!
A shrill cold light flashed, and the head of a guard flew into the air, dancing in the sky with a fistful of blood rain, falling on everyone's heads.
Kill with one blow!
Many of the guards were stunned and couldn't react at all to what was going on. Another waterfall and blood spring suddenly appeared among the guards. Just now, this man was watching the arrows shoot into the bandit's body, showing his cruelty.
smile, but he didn't know that that smiling face was the last scene in his life.
The despised bandits in turn knocked down several people like they were chopping melons and vegetables. Then the guards woke up from a dream and began to resist vigorously.
In fact, these guards are all local experts recruited by merchants. In terms of individual strength, they are still above those soldiers. But when it comes to cooperation, they are far behind. And because they underestimated the enemy and were careless, they lost the opportunity and the plan.
It is not a strange thing to retreat after defeat.
An Hong and Zeyue looked at all this with pale faces, their hands and feet trembling a little. It was not that they had never encountered robberies before, but this was the first time they had encountered a soldier turning into a bandit. The gap in combat power between the two was huge.
Big!
"Jianghuai Army! They are Jianghuai Army!" At this moment, Gao Xu suddenly whispered, "Is it possible that Du Fuwei, the 'Knowledge in His Sleeve', wants to attack us?"
"This makes no sense. The Jianghuai Army's power cannot reach here at all. Why would Du Fuwei do this?" Zeyue was even more shocked and shook his head.
An Hong narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold look, and murmured: "It's not Du Fuwei, it's not Du Fuwei, it's... hum!"
"He's An Long's junior brother and the second-largest figure in the Jianghuai Army, Fu Gongyou, right? Hey, this person really knows about the feud between Fu Gongyou and An Long. He's probably also a member of the Tianlian Sect. A good chess piece can't be wasted!" Gao Xu probed
After that, without further ado, he pulled out the Feihong Sword and plunged into the battle.
