Chapter nine hundred and fifty seventh: thorns stone mountain encounters bandits
The west wind blows on the ancient road, the footsteps are uneven, and the carriages and horses are rustling. The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes. You can't even see a house for several days. In fact, the soil is not that barren. It's just that you are in a tug-of-war between the two sides, and it is very dangerous.
, no one dares to cultivate it.
The war between the Daji Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians not only scared away the people in the border areas, but also destroyed the local vegetation and forests. With the fire, patches of forests turned into nothingness. It was easy to set fires but difficult to plant trees.
Restoring the natural environment is not a simple matter. New trees fail to grow, military disasters occur again, and the day of recovery is far away. Over time, many areas have degraded into deserts, and people retreat into the desert. Yellow winds roll up the
The sand is so thick that one can't even open one's eyes.
Ten days later, Wu Yi and his group have left the boundaries of Yangmin Mansion and arrived at the boundary of Yuyang Mansion. Yuyang Mansion is the real border area. What Wu Yi and others have to do this time is to go to a place called Yuyang Mansion.
The fortress at Langyankou switched defenses with the local defenders.
There are five to six hundred people in Wu Yi's group. Most of them joined the army because they fled the famine and made a living. Needless to say, they were shabby. They hadn't seen the village for a long time and didn't have time to bathe. Their hair was unkempt. Some people believed that they were refugees.
Wu Yi sold all his wealth, but barely equipped dozens of people, and formed these dozens of people into his own soldiers.
The rest of them didn't even have any weapons at hand. The person in charge of the government only said that they would make arrangements after arriving at the station.
Fortunately, they had enough food for several months. Otherwise, not to mention guarding the border, there would have been a mutiny and chaos halfway there.
Among the team, there was a person who frequently traveled between the two places. He knew the location of the Wolf Smoke Mouth and let him lead the way. Otherwise, there would be no village in front of him, no store in back, and no one to guide him, so the possibility of getting lost would be high.
The leader was called Qin Tianbing, and his name sounded mighty and domineering, but he was short, thin and weak, partly because he was born this way, and partly because he didn't have enough to eat.
However, Qin Tianbing's victory was due to his quick pace and extensive knowledge. He followed the caravan to many places. Therefore, it is said that people should not be judged by their appearance. You never know when you will find such a person.
Along the way, I hurriedly walked through the land mixed with yellow sand, and the greenery along the way became more and more.
But you can see the ground and the sky in the distance, with smoke and rain. The roads are lined with soft grass, and the mountains are covered with green. The first leaves are closely rubbed together, climbing and tugging at the fragrance. From a distance, I don’t know where to stop, but up close, it looks like a vast green cloud.
.
The land is covered with fur, lush and green. The wind blows in the wind, and the sun's shadow reflects brightly. The daisies are wrapped around the ancient trees, and the vines are wrapped around the weeping poplars. The clusters are like a shelf, and the connections are like a bed. There are flowers blooming in real brocade, and the flowers are fragrant for no reason.
.
After many days of yellow sand, seeing green grass again, one can imagine the change in Wu Yi's mood. He said sincerely: "It is a beautiful place."
Qin Tianbing, who was waiting on Wu Yi's side, said: "Baichang Mo, don't look at the beautiful scenery here. When we get to the front, it is full of thorns and the road is difficult to travel!"
"In addition, the forest inside is deep and dense, and thieves are rampant. Baichang must be more careful."
"There are five or six hundred of us, where are the gangsters who dare to rob us? Are we tired of living?" Wu Yi said contemptuously.
When Qin Tianbing heard this, he panicked and said: "The commanders don't know something. The bandits here are different from other places. Some of them are even deserters scattered on the battlefield. There are both Northern troops and Northern captives. They are all people who have fought a hundred battles and have armor."
They are all ready. The Northern Army and the Northern Barbarians have raided countless times, but they have not been able to wipe them out. Chief Bai must not underestimate them!"
Wu Yi waved his hand and said, "I understand." Even so, looking at Wu Yi's posture, he didn't take them seriously.
Qin Tianbing felt helpless and could only protect himself from encountering those vicious gangsters.
The group of people gradually entered the depths of the mountain forest, and there was a large stone forest inside. The soil here was barren, and no trees grew. Instead, thin thorns grew everywhere, covering the entire stone forest.
Entering the stone forest, the surrounding area is extremely quiet, and you can't even hear the chirping of birds. In this case, it is most likely that someone is ambushing you. Otherwise, if hundreds of people advance, the birds will be disturbed and fly away.
Wu Yi thought to himself: It's not so lucky! He really encountered bandits and robbed him.
Qin Tianbing traveled south and north, but also noticed that something was wrong, and advised Wu Yi to postpone the advance. Wu Yi smiled coldly, picked up the big bow in front of the saddle, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and made a "咻" sound. Before Qin Tianbing could react, he shot
The bandit hiding behind the stone mountain grunted and fell after being struck by an arrow.
When the arrow fell, everyone immediately became alert without Wu Yi reminding them. They picked up the things in their hands without Wu Yi reminding them, no matter what sticks or axes they had. At this moment, having something in hand is the most important thing.
.
Qin Tianbing put up a pavilion with his hands and praised: "A hundred-year-old true god, I'm afraid he has three hundred steps!"
Wu Yi smiled slightly. Although no magic power was used, this body cannot be treated as an ordinary person after its muscles and marrow were washed.
If he really used his magic power, Wu Yi could kill a person not to mention three hundred steps or three hundred miles away, so Wu Yi didn't take it seriously.
Wu Yi fired this arrow, which angered the opponent, but the opponent did not have an expert archer who could shoot such a far distance, so he gave up hiding and came out from behind the stone mountain, holding various weapons in no formation, just like a pack of wolves.
Same, coming towards Wu Yi to bite.
Wu Yi was not polite, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, raised the arrow and fired it, and if he hit it, he would die. Dozens of the gangsters died before they could reach him.
Moreover, Wu Yi roared fiercely and waved flags to command. After one operation, the opponent did not get any good results. Instead, he became confused and lost his footing.
After the battle, Wu Yi also kept firing cold arrows from behind, but now he was seeking to injure the enemy rather than kill him, causing the opponent to temporarily lose his combat capability and leave a few tongues.
A gust of cold wind blew from behind. Wu Yi turned around and saw that someone took advantage of the chaos in the formations of both sides after the battle and took advantage of the chaos to kill Wu Yi, the leader.
The person who came was holding a scimitar, which was the weapon of the Beilu. He also spoke a foreign language from another tribe. He was undoubtedly a Beilu, but judging from his appearance, he was not much different from the people from Beijun.
The enemy took advantage of the chaos and came. Wu Yi took the time to draw the horizontal sword. In the blink of an eye, in the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the result was that this person was so clean that he might die without knowing why Wu Yi moved so fast.
To deal with the first melee enemy, there is no doubt that the enemy has seen that Wu Yi is the leader and must deal with Wu Yi first. Wu Yi fell to the ground immediately, his arms seemed not to feel sore, and arrows were raining down. He was obviously just one person.
But it was like an arrow formation. Those who faced Wu Yi instantly lost their ability to resist.
