The golden eagle left and returned, and the fire in Bingfeng Village really made the ambushing bandits lose their composure. They have already begun to gather at the mountain pass and will be here in half an hour at most.
Hearing that the bandits finally took the initiative, the people in the caravan also became nervous. Zhang Chi did not tell them the number of bandits. If he told them that there were more than 700 people on the other side, many people would be scared to death.
The Gale Wolf was as fast as the wind, and Lightning took Cao Chengguang back to the camp before the bandits arrived.
The team member responsible for observing the enemy's situation came back and said in a panic: "Oh no, there are many bandits coming towards our camp. It is estimated that there are at least a thousand people."
This sentence instantly caused panic within the caravan. Huang and Huo Jiu looked at each other. Only now did they know why Zhang Chi insisted on letting everyone stay where they were. If they forced their way through the mountain pass, the whole army would probably be annihilated.
But even if they don't go for it, excluding the five who died fighting the griffins, they only have 68 people left. With 68 people against bandits ten times their size, there is obviously no chance of winning, but it's okay.
There is help from the Wind Wolf.
Huang came to Zhang Chi with a look of shame on his face: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do?"
Zhang Chi said: "Aren't you going to force your way through the mountain pass? How about we fight them head-on in an upright manner?"
The yellow-faced man became hot: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. If we confront each other head-on, we may not have any chance of winning."
Zhang Chi said: "If there is no chance of winning, then we have to wait for death."
Huang placed his right fist on his heart and bowed deeply to Zhang Chi: "We are short-sighted, Mr. Zhang, please don't argue with us." He knew in his heart that if Zhang Chi's protection was lost, he might not even be able to get through the griffin group.
Even if I can't survive, I will die sooner or later, but now I think it is better to die later than to die early.
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Do you believe me now?"
Huang Dao: "We have never doubted Mr. Zhang. We are willing to give our lives to Mr. Zhang. We will fight wherever you point."
Zhang Chi said: "I am not the main force tonight." He turned to Cao Chengguang, who had just returned, and said: "Old Cao, are you ready?"
Cao Chengguang sighed and said, "Damn it, uncle, you've been so carefree these past two days. I'm so exhausted." He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance and said, "I'll bring those grandsons here. Just wait and pick up the leaks."
.”
Zhang Chi asked Lightning to send Cao Chengguang over.
When the gangsters saw that their lair was on fire, they could no longer persist in lurking at the mountain pass. They quickly made a decision to kill the caravan first and then return to the village to put out the fire.
As they gradually approached the caravan camp, they saw a short dwarf standing on the snow in front of them. The dwarf was Cao Chengguang. Cao Chengguang said to the group of bandits coming on horseback: "There is no end to the sea of suffering, so I advise you to go back quickly."
Come on, otherwise we will all die here." Although he was short in stature, his voice was not quiet, and his voice was transmitted far away.
The sound of hoofbeats and the neighing of horses could not hide his voice.
The bandits were all dressed in black and masked. There were more than 200 cavalrymen in the front, and more than 500 bandits were rushing towards the rear. It was obvious that these bandits would not listen to Cao Chengguang's advice.
Huang Feixue saw the bandits rushing towards Cao Chengguang like a tide, and was about to drown him. She couldn't help but become nervous and whispered: "Master, Mr. Cao can't do it alone."
Zhang Chi said: "Don't worry about it, just concentrate on controlling their horses."
Huang Feixue looked at the group of galloping cavalry and tried her best to control the group of horses, but the distance was still too far and beyond her ability.
Cao Chengguang stood on the snow with his hands behind his back and his chest raised, looking at the oncoming bandits without fear, and said with a smile: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences." As soon as he finished speaking, the leading cavalry of the bandits came.
At the same time, I stepped into the air and saw horses stepping into the pit. For a moment, the horses stumbled, people flipped over, and the originally calm snowy field seemed to boil.
It turns out that Zhang Chi had asked Cao Chengguang to dig traps around the camp in the past few days. This was done secretly, not to mention that the bandits would not find out, not even his own people knew about it.
Cao Chengguang's skill in digging holes was first-rate. The trap that allowed the leading cavalry of these bandits to ambush was that there was still soil under the snow. Cao Chengguang only dug the soil thinly. There would be no problem with normal walking, but if the cavalry passed through here
, even the weight of the man and the horse would collapse the soil, and the trap would work. Only Cao Chengguang could dig such a clever trap.
Although the bandits were also secretly observing the activities in the camp, no one could have imagined that there was such a mystery hidden underground.
After the first row of cavalry fell to the ground in ambush, the second and third rows of cavalry who were traveling at high speed had no time to react and bumped into each other one after another. The scene became a mess, and Cao Chengguang took advantage of the chaos to quietly escape underground.
Zhang Chi shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Rows of feathered arrows were fired at the chaotic cavalry. In the rain of arrows, lightning carried Zhang Chi like an arrow from the string to kill the bandit camp. The long knife in Zhang Chi's hand was flying, as if he was in an uninhabited land.
From under the surrounding snow, gale wolves emerged one after another. More than twenty gale wolves were lurking in the tunnels Cao Chengguang had dug in advance.
The sound of killing was loud for a while, and the vanguard of the bandits fell completely passive before they could exert any power.
Huang Feixue opened her beautiful eyes, which looked extremely bright.
A horse stuck in the snow suddenly let out a rhythmic neigh and climbed out of the pit with its front legs. A bandit tried to climb on the horse's back. The horse suddenly raised its hind hoof and kicked the bandit hard in the chest.
Above, only the crisp cracking sound of bones was heard, and the bandit was kicked and flew out. When he fell, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he died.
More and more horses climbed up from the snow. They were not under the command of the bandits at all. Some of them bit and kicked their former masters, or they fled for their lives. The situation was completely out of control.
More than 500 bandits on foot swarmed over. Lightning carried Zhang Chi on his back and rushed towards the horses. Zhang Chi stretched out his long knife and slapped the horse's tail. The horse's tail he hit instantly burned, and the horse's tail was burned.
After being ignited, the horses fell into a state of madness, and the flames quickly burned all over their bodies. They rushed towards the bandit camp with the flames.
Dozens of horses neighed miserably with flames, and rushed madly into the camp of the bandits at the rear. The flames spread through the horses into the camp of the bandits, and the scene instantly turned into a sea of fire. The bandits who had originally rushed to reinforce had not yet taken action.
When they had the opportunity, their camp was divided by the burning horses.
Zhang Chi gave the order and everyone retreated. After retreating for a certain distance, the Gale Wolf began to launch wind blades.
Huang and the members of the caravan were stunned. Originally they thought it was a tragic battle with an outnumbered enemy, but they did not expect that the battle would become one-sided as soon as it started. More than 700 bandits were vulnerable to a single blow. They thought
Zhang Chi has been camping and lazing around these days, but he is actually making preparations silently, and if he doesn't make a sound, he will become a blockbuster.
The bandit camp was completely defeated. They had lost confidence, gave up fighting and fled the battlefield.
Zhang Chi did not catch up, and let the caravan pack up and set off, passing through the mountain pass in the shortest possible time.
When Huang Feixue was riding through the battlefield, she saw a charred horse still struggling to death. She couldn't bear it and quickly closed her eyes, feeling a little guilty in her heart. These horses met such a miserable end.
I have a direct relationship with myself.
Zhang Chi noticed her performance, took out a crossbow from his waist, aimed an arrow at the horse's head and killed it. Death was the best relief for it.
Everyone quickly left the battlefield. Huang Feixue didn't open her eyes until the burnt smell in the air faded. She had already passed the battlefield. She didn't dare to look back. She clutched her chest and still felt uncomfortable.
Cao Chengguang rode up to her on a horse and rode alongside her, asking with concern: "Are you sick because your face is pale?"
Huang Feixue shook his head: "Mr. Cao, I just... just feel that I... I killed those horses."
Cao Chengguang chuckled and said: "Woman's kindness, if they hadn't charged into the battle, we don't know how many people would have died. What's more, they turned out to be accomplices of the bandits. You just let them join our camp. Although a few horses died,
But you saved the entire caravan."
Huang Feixue sighed quietly and said: "I'm not that powerful. It was the young master who saved us."
Cao Chengguang's words were uncomfortable to hear. It was obviously me who dug the hole, but there was no need to be serious with a little girl. He said in a low voice: "Do you like Zhang Chi?"
Huang Feixue glanced at the gossiping Cao Chengguang, blushed, and hummed, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
Cao Chengguang sighed: "This is also a place to look at appearance. Do women like big ones?"
Huang Feixue frowned in embarrassment. This old man's rude talk was really annoying. She whispered: "But the young master doesn't like me."
Cao Chengguang said: "How could it be? You are so beautiful, how could he not like you? Didn't you two sleep with each other?" The fire of Lao Cao's gossip is burning brightly, and it is enough to enjoy it.
Huang Feixue said: "We...we are innocent."
Cao Chengguang said: "He hasn't touched you?"
Huang Feixue blushed and nodded, so she felt that Zhang Chi didn't like him.
Cao Chengguang said: "Feixue, this is your fault."
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Cao Chengguang said: "My little brother is very shy in this area, and he has no experience. As his female slave, you should take the initiative, don't you think?"
Huang Feixue blushed and said, "I don't have much experience, Mr. Cao will teach me."
Cao Chengguang sighed in his heart, how could I become a good person now and actually like the beauty of adults? He didn't mind teaching this charming little slave girl, but considering the class feelings between him and Zhang Chi, and considering the consequences, he still taught it orally.
Okay, I can't say it too clearly. Damn, it's just too awkward.
It's hard to say that Lao Cao is so thick-skinned. How should I teach him this? There is no must-read book for newlyweds here, but people have begged him to help popularize science.
