While the twenty Su family guards were stunned, Wang Junlin climbed onto the black horse and rode steadily on it without the help of a saddle or reins. Whether it was this black horse with a bad temper or the other nine black horse's younger brothers,
None of them carried out any attack on Wang Junlin.
At this moment, people like the Su family team understood that this beggar-like horse borrower was obviously not a simple person.
The young lady and maidservant in the carriage also witnessed the scene through the carriage window. They covered their mouths and looked in disbelief. They had seen with their own eyes that the black horse had kicked and injured a guard before.
"Miss, I understand. The little beast in his arms must be the legendary ferocious beast that scared these stupid horses." The maid said smartly.
The young lady rolled her eyes at the maid and said nothing. She frowned and looked at Wang Junlin secretly. She felt a little expectant at first, but then shook her head with a self-deprecating look on her face.
In this way, Wang Junlin still held the female yellow goat with one hand and held the baby lynx in his arms. He rode on the black horse and followed the Su family's motorcade towards Shazhou City. During this period, the Su family's lady in the carriage felt disgusted several times.
The speed was too fast and the carriage bumped, causing the convoy to slow down. The guard leader frowned before agreeing every time.
However, after walking for more than an hour, when passing through a valley, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly sounded like thunder, echoing in the valley.
The leader of the Su family's guard was a middle-aged man. He reacted quickly and shouted: "It may be a horse thief, protect the young lady!"
The twenty knights reacted quickly and their riding skills were also very good. They quickly formed a circle around the lady's carriage. Wang Junlin naturally had no one to care about him. A man and ten wild horses stopped at the side. Wang Junlin
Seeing this, Jun Lin simply retreated to one side and went up a small hillside.
Then, Wang Junlin saw a group of about a hundred cavalry rushing in from the opposite valley entrance and launched a charge towards them.
The guard leader sat upright on his horse. He had already taken off his bow and set an arrow on it. His expression was extremely solemn and he shouted: "Everyone, be careful. This is the horse thief of the Western Regions, the 'Wolf in the Mountain'!"
The sound fell, the strings rang, and the arrows on the bow of the guard leader were shot away quickly. The horse thief who was rushing at the front was hit by an arrow in his heart and fell off his horse.
After the guard leader fired an arrow, he shot a second arrow almost head to tail. This arrow hit another horse thief's horse. The arrow accurately hit the horse's left eye, and the war horse whined.
He fell to the ground, but it wasn't over yet. The third and fourth arrows from the guard leader flew out immediately afterwards.
Continuous arrows, an archery technique that only the legendary archers can master. Unexpectedly, this guard leader actually possesses this skill. Even Wang Junlin was a little surprised.
The guard leader could shoot four arrows in a row, and he shot down two people and two horses with four arrows. Nineteen other guards also shot arrows, but they were not as accurate as the guard leader. With nineteen arrows, he only shot down nine people.
The horse thieves coming in like a tide from behind were blocked by the corpses of the man and horse in front, tripping many people and stirring up a cloud of dust. Under the scolding of the leader of the horse thieves, the horse thieves behind quickly moved their horses to avoid it and circled around from both sides.
Come.
As a result, the charge suddenly stalled. Wang Junlin had to admit that the guard leader was experienced and responded quickly. What Wang Junlin didn't know was that this man was a general with a thousand cavalry under his command in Shazhou City.
But the power shown by this group of horse thieves was equally fierce. More than ten people were killed, and no one showed fear on their faces. On the contrary, each and every one of them was aroused with murderous intent, and continued to rush towards the convoy with howls.
Wang Junlin was standing on the hillside more than thirty steps away from the motorcade. He looked at the horse thieves rolling in and exclaimed: "The horse thieves are so powerful! This kind of wolf in the mountain is really not simple."
At this time, after paying the price of more than 20 casualties, the horse thief finally rushed forward and started fighting with the 20 guards.
Wang Junlin led ten wild horses up the nearby hillside. It was obviously difficult for the horse thieves to rush up. In addition, their main target was the Miss Su family, and he did not stop them, so no one paid attention to him.
The biggest difference between horse thieves and the army is discipline and orders. No matter how strong their individual combat effectiveness is, they will be greatly reduced in group combat in front of twenty obviously well-trained guards. In the chaotic moment of the battle between the two sides, twenty
The guards can retreat in an orderly and strategic manner according to the orders, but the horse thieves are haphazard even when they attack.
In addition, it has to be said that the twenty guards of the Su family are all good fighters, at least individually much more powerful than the horse thieves. Therefore, although the twenty guards were gradually at a disadvantage, they were not overwhelmed immediately.
Wang Junlin suddenly discovered a problem. In addition to ten wild horses, this convoy only carried a car of tents, food and other accompanying supplies. There were no valuable goods at all. What did these horse thieves want to rob regardless of death or injury? Although for the horse thieves,
Women are also important, but you shouldn’t fight so hard for two women!
Obviously, this was not a normal robbery by horse thieves, but was specifically aimed at Miss Su family. There might be several major forces in Shazhou City fighting overtly and covertly behind this.
From Gaochang City to Shazhou, there is a distance of more than a thousand miles. There are almost no villages or towns where humans have settled on the road. The world between heaven and earth will always give people the desolate and vast taste. No matter where you go, you will see everything.
They are similar Yibi, similar deserts, and similar plants. After a long time, it will make people feel tired from the bottom of their hearts. If you are not a strong-willed person, there will not be enough people to walk with you, or even
They will doubt whether they can get out of this world. All people subconsciously want to meet people on the road, and then it is best to go with them.
But on such a desolate ancient road, there is also a type of people that people least want to meet. This type of people is more terrifying than the desolate world and ferocious beasts, because they are horse thieves.
Horse thieves should be regarded as the most resilient creatures in the Gobi desert. They are more resilient than poplar trees and camel thorns. Especially the small groups of horse thieves. They live in no fixed place, and the vast desert is their best hiding place.
No one can discover all their secret nests, and no one can follow their footsteps.
They travel across the desert grasslands with the sole purpose of plundering everything, including horses, livestock, weapons, property, men, and women. They do not produce or create. Everything comes from plundering. It is rare to see such a piece of fat.
Naturally, I wanted to take a bite.
But in fact, many horse thieves have secret connections with local wealthy families and tribal forces. Horse thieves need food, weapons and even women, and the goods they grab also need a market, and those who dare to trade with horse thieves must also have enough money.
A large force, otherwise they may be bitten by these wolf-like guys at any time. After having such a connection, these powerful people and tribes will hire horse thieves to do some shameful things. There are even some
Some horse thieves themselves are disguised as members of this tribe or wealthy family.
Wang Junlin felt that the hundreds of horse thieves in front of him were obviously like this. They were sent or hired by a big force in Shazhou City.
War is always cruel. Half of the twenty guards are dead, there are still more than sixty horse thieves, and the remaining ten guards are all injured. Defeat is only a matter of time.
Wang Junlin suddenly started to move. He rode a big black horse and rushed down from the mountain. He had no weapons and was bare-handed. His clothes were ragged and his hair was dirty. He looked like a beggar, but he rushed towards the horse thief fearlessly.
passed.
As soon as Wang Junlin moved, he was noticed by the horse thieves, and the leader of the horse thieves did not take it lightly. With a shout, the two horse thieves rushed towards Wang Junlin. When they were thirty steps away, they stretched out their bows and nocked arrows, and shot at Wang Junlin.
Shoot him in the chest, and shoot the black horse in his crotch with an arrow.
Wang Junlin had no weapons in his hands and could only dodge, but he was able to avoid the arrows. Even if the black horse was hit by the arrow, the game was over. It must be said that these two horse thieves had very poisonous eyes, and they discovered Wang Junlin's shortcomings immediately.
And took the most correct attack.
The two horse thieves had already anticipated Wang Junlin's fate. After shooting the arrow, they put away their bows and drew their swords, waiting for Wang Junlin to fall off his horse and cut off his head.
At the same time as the two arrows were shot, Wang Junlin captured the trajectories of the two arrows very clearly. This had never happened before. He could only make an instinctive prediction based on accumulated experience.
I saw Wang Junlin suddenly lean forward from his horse to the right. The arrow shot at his chest missed his arm and missed. The arrow shot at the black horse was actually caught by Wang Junlin.
in hand.
The two horse thieves were shocked. They never thought that someone could catch their arrows with bare hands. However, they had no time to think about it because the two sides had already charged together. Although they were surprised, the two horse thieves were fierce enough and yelled at the swords in their hands.
Wang Junlin chopped it off.
Wang Junlin rode the big black horse backwards and suddenly lay flat on his back. He just missed the two knives that were attacking his head and shoulders. At the same time, he swung the arrow with his left hand and struck hard with his right elbow. He took more than twenty steps.
The horse thieves and guards who were fighting outside did not see what was going on. Wang Junlin rushed between the two horse thieves and continued to rush towards the sixty or so horse thieves. To be precise, he rushed towards the leader of the horse thieves.
But the two horse thieves behind him had already screamed and fell from their horses. One of the horse thieves had an arrow stuck in his chest. This was the arrow he shot at the big black horse before, but now it was stuck in his chest. The other horse thief was directly killed by the king.
Jun Lin hit his waist with an elbow and fell to the ground. Although he was not dead, his whole body was paralyzed, which was no different from death.
It's a long story, but these things were actually completed in an instant. By the time the other horse thieves reacted, Wang Junlin had already rushed in front of the horse thieves who were fighting with the guards.
