However, the way they came from behind was not their safe way back. In a sheltered valley in the rear, there was originally their temporary camp where their horses were placed.
Horse thieves, horse thieves, rely most on horses when traveling long distances. These horses that are always with them are their most loyal friends. Even if they are in the wind and snow where it is difficult to see, these horses that have been strictly selected and replaced
Under the leadership of some leading horses, horses can quickly and safely pass through many dangerous areas, and can even maintain a certain riding speed on snowy mountain roads.
Because they are so familiar with each other, these horses can even smell the scent of their owners, and can even hear the owner's desire to escape from the footsteps of their owners. However, when these horse thieves rushed down the hillside towards the valley, they learned from these
In the sudden neighing of the horses, he was immediately aware of the fatal danger.
The practitioners of the sword pavilion behind did not seem to catch up, so the footsteps of these horse thieves who fled here in a hurry slowed down with the spread of this dangerous aura.
The horse thieves at the forefront could already see the restless beating of the war horses, but none of their companions who stayed in the camp showed up.
In front of the horses, some objects that looked like snowdrifts rose up silently and turned into half-crouching figures. These figures became more and more in the eyes of the horse thieves, gradually covering them.
The shadow of the war horse.
These horse thieves are not stupid. Seeing such a scene, they have long understood that the army that had clearly left the pass for several days had actually avoided their eyes and ears, sneaked back quietly, and rode on
Most of them went to the gorge to set up an ambush, and directly attacked and cut off their retreat.
"Without horses, we can't run far. This is too much! Let's fight them!"
An angry scream sounded from the group of horse thieves.
This shriek of encouragement came from a leader of the horse thieves. Although all the horse thieves were frightened and felt that there was little danger, they all felt that what he said at this time was very reasonable. Because they had lost their horses and accompanying luggage, even if they could
They can escape on their own feet tonight, but can they still be called horse thieves? From now on, they will just be rats crossing the street under the sun, and anyone can bully them.
However, the sharp roar of the leader of the horse thieves did not make the horse thieves speed up their progress again, because in the next moment, his sharp roar was drowned out by a burst of shrill arrows.
A circle of dazzling sparks in the wind and snow
lights up in it.
This leader of the horse thieves is also a practitioner with good cultivation. The moment the arrow struck, a flying sword flew from his sleeve. The sword light surrounded his body and quickly cut into those who fell.
On the incoming arrow.
However, in just a fraction of the breath, the sound of the sword cutting the arrow clusters turned into countless violent sounds of metal piercing flesh!
Puff puff puff puff
Countless balls of blood poured out from the body of the horse thief leader at the same time, and his body suddenly became huge, because in just a fraction of the time he breathed, his entire body was already covered with arrows.
Transformed into a giant hedgehog.
All the horse thieves looked at this scene in the wind and snow in disbelief. They opened their mouths, but the oncoming wind poured into their mouths. They felt that their bodies were extremely cold, but they could not make any sound at all.
.
Except for the dozens of arrows that were cut off or knocked away by the flying sword of the horse thief leader at the beginning, all the arrows flying from the night sky in an instant landed on the horse thief leader with extremely precise accuracy.
These horse thieves have experienced battles with many elite frontier troops in the past many years, but even when facing the most elite arrow troops of the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty, they have never seen such a scene.
At this time, the night was as dark as lead and the wind and snow were as furious. If several archers could accurately locate the figure of this horse thief in the crowd, they would not be surprised at all. There are probably several sharp archers in any army.
However, those who took action at this moment were probably dozens or even hundreds of such archery masters. How could they make them believe their own eyes?
Since the Battle of Zhongli, the legend of Lin Yi and Jiange has begun to spread on the border here. However, according to accurate information, Lin Yi's Tiece Army only numbered in the thousands. Among the thousands of troops, there were actually
Such a terrible archer ratio?
"We've given you a chance."
At this moment, as the body of the horse thief leader who was shot into a hedgehog was hit hard on the ground, a joking voice came from the wind and snow ahead, "If you dare to do something, you must bear the price of doing it wrong."
, what does this have to do with us bullying others too much? At best, it can only be considered bad luck for you."
Listening to such a voice, all these horse thieves felt bitterness in their mouths, but most of them felt that what this person said was very reasonable and could not refute it at all.
The two men from the sword pavilion had warned them not to take action, but they found the other party's words and actions ridiculous.
As for now, most of the most powerful practitioners among their group are dead. I am afraid that if they really want to fight the opponent, a few flying swords from the sword pavilion can easily kill most of them.
kill.
So I can only blame myself for being unlucky enough to bump into such a dragon crossing the river.
All these horse thieves lowered their heads in silence and fled into the surrounding wind and snow. Even if they heard that their companions in front of them had lost their footing and rolled down the steeply inclined hillside, making a clear sound of fractures, these horse thieves
No one dared to look back.
Xiao Suxin looked at the figures of these horse thieves running hastily on the edge of life and death, with a hint of unbearability in her eyes.
Qi Zhuji beside her tightened her collar, glanced at her, and said sarcastically: "This is already a good ending for them."
Xiao Suxin knew in her heart that what he said was right, because she knew very well that in order to hide their whereabouts, these horse thieves would often kill all the plundering caravans, leaving no one alive, but this unbearable feeling in her heart,
But it's not something she can control.
"Anyone who becomes a horse thief is indeed unlucky." She said softly.
Qi Zhuji also felt that what she said was right. No one is born to be a horse thief. If there is a choice, even if you are a horse thief, you must be a horse thief in a place as warm as spring. There is no need to seek help in such a bitter and cold place.
live.
But even so, he couldn't sympathize with these people in his heart, because there was no difference between being willing to exist among such a group of horse thieves, and living in a state of intoxication and living on the last breath.
"You can't run very far."
He looked at the horse thieves who had almost disappeared from his sight, and encouraged Zhenyuan and said: "As long as you can provide military information that is useful to our Tiece Army, or can provide military information that is useful to the Xiaba coalition forces, no matter how big or small, it is useless.
Or if it's useless, I can return your horses to you."
In the wind and snow, many people's bodies stopped as if they were suddenly frozen.
In this valley, all the Tiece Army sergeants had straightened their bodies, silently waiting for the return of those people.
It was the first time for many of them to face a real battle, but even if they didn't really take action tonight, they didn't kill any enemy with their own hands, but they were killed by those in the army who came back alive from Zhongli City.
Contaminated by their aura, none of them felt nervous or timid when facing these horse thieves.
