Gongsun Juan and Murong Lan also came over. Gongsun Juan had a look of panic on his face and kept saying, "What should I do? There are enemy cavalry coming. There are quite a few of them."
An Tong smiled slightly: "What is Gongsun Aqian's intention?"
Gongsun Juan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want this batch of goods, nor do I want the women I bought. Everyone mounts their horses and runs for their lives. Maybe they can escape. Let's disperse and run away."
Murong Lan raised her lips in disdain: "Aren't you the captain of the caravan? Why don't you have the courage? Haven't you ever seen horse bandits? I think this trip cost you a lot of money, so you just
Aren’t you afraid of losing everything all at once?”
Gongsun Juan stamped his feet anxiously: "This is not the time to show off as a hero. I am a businessman. I only care about profit. Preserving life is the biggest interest. If you lose your life, why talk about making money? You are a woman, no
Knowing the military, I don’t blame you. These are not ordinary horse bandits. You see, from their moving speed to the dust and smoke in the sky, they are clearly elite soldiers and cavalry. There are at least thousands. Our guards are only a hundred.
There are so many people, how can we possibly stop him? If he throws away his belongings, he might still be alive. At least according to the rules of the prairie, if he takes something, he won't be pursued again."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Gongsun, when did such elite horse bandits appear on the grassland? You also said that there are thousands of people. I'm afraid there are not so many people in a small tribe. Do you really think
Are they just here to steal some money and a few women?"
Gongsun Juan's expression changed: "What do you mean?!"
An Tong said thoughtfully: "Gongsun Aqian, do you remember that when we left Yanmen, Erda once threatened us to be careful. We have no other enemies over the years, except that we have taken in Brother Canglang.
It aroused this man's hatred. He has been traveling on the grassland for so many years, and many of his competitors have disappeared without any reason. I'm afraid this time, he came for us."
Gongsun Juan's eyes widened: "How dare he! If he really did it, as long as I have the breath of my life, I will definitely report him to Chief Liu Da!"
An Tong's eyes flashed coldly: "So he will definitely kill us. These more than a thousand elite cavalry are obviously not something he can get. They must be borrowed elite soldiers and cavalry from a certain tribe."
Gongsun's family members were surprised and said: "On this grassland, there will be tribes lending troops to merchants? I'm afraid Erda doesn't have the courage. Master Liu Xian has issued an order strictly prohibiting all tribes from pretending to be horse bandits to attack caravans. Anyone who violates this
Destroy the tribe!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If it's not found in the Monan Grassland, it's not found in other places. Do the cavalry of the Tiefu Xiongnu have this ability?"
At this time, even An Tong's face changed color: "You mean, Erda will borrow Liu Weichen's troops? How is this possible? The Tiefu Xiongnu is the eternal enemy of all tribes in the Monan Grassland. We used to eat those
The Huns have suffered so much. They have finally been free for more than a hundred years. Anyone who wants to lead a wolf into the house will be the public enemy of the entire Monan!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "If you want to know who is attacking, you have to defeat them, capture the prisoners, and find out at first trial. Gongsun is the first to go. You can take the women and the old and the weak on horseback and leave first. We are here.
Resist their pursuit. Aiqin, you come to protect Gongsun’s leader."
Murong Lan shook her head: "No, I can also do martial arts. I want to stay here and fight with you. We agreed that we will never be separated again."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned to An Tong, and his expression became serious and formal: "An Xingshou, Gongsun Xingshou, this battle cannot be saved by running away. The enemy is strong and we are weak, many people will die, but as long as you press my
If you fight tactically, you will win in the end. If you trust me, please leave it to me. Everyone must obey my command."
Gongsun Juan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will do as you say, and I will leave this life to you. Otherwise, we will go on the road together!"
Having said this, he paused and looked at Murong Lan with a trace of confusion in his eyes: "But, your wife really has martial arts skills, can she really fight?"
Without saying a word, Murong Lan stringed his bow and shot an arrow into the sky. With a mournful roar, a flying eagle that had been hovering above their heads fell in response to the string and fell into the wilderness more than a hundred steps away.
.
An Tong praised: "It is indeed a magic arrow. I have long seen that Brother Canglang is highly skilled in martial arts. I never expected that even Mrs. Aiqin is so good. Now, I feel relieved."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Love your relatives and protect Gongsun's head. No matter what happens ahead, you are not allowed to look back. As long as you live, he must live. Do you understand?"
A look of determination flashed in Murong Lan's eyes, and she nodded vigorously: "You have to be careful."
Liu Yu turned back and grinned at Gongsun Juan: "Then, please follow me to the front. The whole team will prepare according to my instructions, and then proceed as planned."
Half an hour later, Liu Yu, dressed in leather armor and wearing a face mask, walked side by side with Gongsun's family members, walking at the front of the team. Murong Lan was riding a horse and carrying a bow, dragging him in the middle of the team, while An Tong was holding a saber.
Patrolling from left to right at the rear of the team, the women were sitting on carts, and the camels' humps were covered with boxes. They looked heavy and stretched for nearly a mile in front and back, slowly walking northeast on the grassland.
Three miles away, on a hill, two pairs of eyes were staring at the caravan. Erda's face was filled with excitement and hatred, and her muscles were twisting and beating. On the other side,
He was a man with a ferocious face, about thirty years old, and a full body of mail. He was the most ferocious son of Liu Weichen, the chief of the Tiefu tribe of the Xiongnu, Liu Zhiliti, known as the Wolf of Hetao.
Erda murmured: "Come on, we are almost at our ambush circle. Huh, these two bitches, Gongsun Juan and An Tong, are blind. They came to offend me for a Han man. This time they are called
They died without a burial place.”
Liu Zhili said coldly: "The Han people must die! We, the Huns, were often bullied by them in the Central Plains. It was because we were unwilling to be humiliated that our eldest father came out to stand on his own. How could the proud man of our grassland be manipulated by them?
Today, I will repay this blood debt to the Han. My father Shanyu said that when he unified the grasslands, he would bring millions of cavalry to break through the Han Pass and go straight into the Central Plains. He would use the blood of the Han people and those countless
Endless wealth to feed our warriors!"
Erda said with a flattering smile: "I am willing to become the most loyal slave of the Great Chanyu."
A trace of killing intent flashed in Liu Zhili's eyes. On the grassland in the distance, in an inconspicuous patch of grass, stood a wooden stake. Gongsun Juan and others had already crossed the wooden stake. Liu Zhili put his finger into his mouth,
A loud whistle was issued, accompanied by his roar: "Do it, kill!"
