Pan yelled and leaned over to hug his horse, trying to avoid the arrow.
It was also his luck that the arrow flew past his cheek and shot down the lieutenant behind him.
When the masked man saw that he could not hit him, he simply drew his long knife and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill this lackey of the imperial court!"
Behind him, a group of tough men, all wearing black scarves and covering their faces, drew out their long knives and shouted, rushing through Paine's team like a storm, chopping melons and vegetables.
A good place for them to choose is a flat slope under Xiangshan Mountain, with mountains and forests on top, hidden in the mountains and forests, and then ride horses straight down from the top of the slope. Unless there are heavily armored soldiers arrayed below the mountain, there is only a dead end.
Pan En and others had just arrived and were not familiar with the terrain. They were traveling day and night. There were bandits causing trouble in front of them and Mu Yunhan was watching from behind.
This bandit suddenly appeared and used extremely tyrannical tactics to instantly destroy their confidence and courage.
Paine watched helplessly as his two thousand soldiers instantly became a mess, running around in a hurry, bumping into each other, and even trampling on each other.
He shouted anxiously, and another arrow flew towards him. He was so frightened that he hid under the horse's belly and did not dare to move.
The masked man laughed wildly, rushed back and forth with his men several times, and walked away.
Pan En still didn't know it, so he hid obediently, only listening to his men screaming and running away.
Only then did he dare to slowly poke his head out, and when he saw that the masked gangsters had disappeared without a trace, he came to life again and shouted: "Stop everyone! Stop everyone! Anyone who doesn't listen to orders will be killed!"
A group of people stopped and stared at each other, angry, hateful and scared.
Paine had his people counted and found that only twenty or thirty people were dead, but one or two hundred were injured. A closer look revealed that most of them were caused by being trampled on each other.
Pan cursed loudly, feeling that the group of people just now acted fiercely and quickly, and were familiar with swords and horses. They were obviously veterans and must be part of a group of bandits.
What he did just now was not so much an attempt to murder him as an attempt to look down on him and humiliate him.
He had fought against Bai Xiaoshan and others many times in the past, and he was deeply resentful. Now he couldn't tolerate it anymore, and he viciously ordered his men to divide into three groups, the front, middle and back, and continue to advance in full force.
But his men were frightened out of their courage and moved forward cautiously. The one or two hundred injured soldiers greatly slowed down the progress, making them crawl like a turtle.
It was late at night when we arrived near the Xiangshan station, and we met people from Bai Xiaoshan head-on. New and old grudges came to mind, and they rushed forward and started fighting until the sky was dark, and it was a joy to watch.
But before that, Mu Yunhan saw Pan En leading the team to retreat, so he was not in a hurry to leave, so he sat down on the wall and waited quietly.
After sitting for about an hour or two, I saw smoke billowing in front of me, and a group of people came. At the head was a big man with a simple and honest face like a farmer, and the others were talking and laughing.
It was Ou Qifeng and others.
Mu Yunhan gave an order and the city gate opened, letting Ou Qifeng and others in.
Ou Qifeng swung his stirrup and dismounted, and fell at Mu Yunhan's feet. His voice was as loud as a bell: "Madam, luckily you have fulfilled your mission!"
It turns out that the masked cavalry just now was them, with only one purpose, to ensure that Paine and Bai Xiaoshan and others would fight to the end and not collude with each other for profit.
Only when these two become mortal enemies can Shoushan Town live a good life.
