Since Lu Xu and the others joined the caravan, the biggest change the caravan has made is that the caravan has more strength for reconnaissance.
This was the suggestion that Lu Xu conveyed to Shopkeeper Liu under the guise of Luo Yingyan. He suggested that Shopkeeper Liu hand over the guards of the caravan to those from Wei'an Fort, and then let the people who originally guarded the caravan ride on horseback in the caravan.
Patrol in front of and around the only route.
The mountain road is narrow. If you encounter bandits without warning, unless the number of bandits coming is very small, the caravan will definitely suffer a certain degree of loss. Sending patrols can effectively avoid encounters and ambushes by the enemy.
Shopkeeper Liu felt that this suggestion was very reliable as soon as he heard it, so he followed suit.
As a result, shortly after Lu Xu and the others set off, there was shouting and screaming from the front of the caravan.
"Bandits! There are bandits!"
A man dressed as a guard was galloping on his horse and shouting loudly.
Hearing his shout, the people in Wei'anbao responded immediately. They quickly jumped off their horses and completed the assembly in front of the caravan.
At this time, none of the guards patrolling around the caravan issued a warning. Only the guards in front of the caravan discovered the bandits. It seemed that the opponents were simply cutting off the road and did not do a good job of ambush. This also created a problem for Lu Xu and the others.
It's time to attack.
After the bandits discovered that they were exposed, they simply shouted and rushed towards the caravan.
Lu Xu, who was among the crowd, could tell at a glance that these people were not bandits at all! They were simply servants of a wealthy family!
These people were strong and tall, and they were obviously carefully selected. They were not the same thing as bandits with a complex composition.
However, when these people advance and retreat, they do not have the discipline and military formation concept of the army that advances and retreats at the same time. It is obvious that they are used to fighting on their own.
Those who have the above characteristics can only be servants of wealthy families.
Lu Xu was overjoyed: "It seems that people from the Chamber of Commerce are taking action! If we can catch one or two alive, we might be able to get some useful information."
Thinking like this, Lu Xu secretly gave Luo Yingyan a wink, and Luo Yingyan understood: "Just leave one or two alive, the others will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone agreed with a roar, and then under Luo Yingyan's command, they quickly raised their bows and fired!
Although these Wei'anbao children have not been exposed to much military training, they mostly practice martial arts independently at their own homes.
However, they are regarded as paramilitary forces by Lu Xu, so the limited formal training they have received is team combat training. Now that they are fighting against the "bandits", there is something different between their behavior and behavior.
The courage of the soldiers is very good at least in advancing and retreating together.
The bandits obviously did not expect that there would be archers in a small caravan, and this round of arrow rain caused huge damage to them.
The number of "bandits" who came to attack the caravan this time was not large, there were only nearly two hundred of them.
Shopkeeper Liu's caravan guard has less than a hundred people, and the quality of the personnel is not high. By using such a strong force, the opponent is already taking the caravan very seriously.
But they obviously missed the powerful force of Wei'an Fort Army. Under the attack of Wei'an Fort's arrows, they had almost no ability to resist.
"Quick, shoot the arrow!"
The leader of the bandits was so anxious that he even shouted "Poyin!"
There were also people in their ranks who carried bows and arrows.
However, on land, only foot bows and crossbows are qualified to shoot with eagle bows. Ordinary bows and arrows are simply not qualified to shoot with the eagle archers of Wei'an Fort.
The counterattack of these fake bandits was not strong in the first place, and their archers lacked unified command and mobilization. Luo Yingyan simply ignored the opponent's attack and led his men to press forward while shooting.
Every time they took a step forward, the mental pressure on the fake bandits increased.
Shopkeeper Liu, who was hiding in the caravan, watched Lu Xu and the others show off their power, and his eyes were filled with brilliance!
"Everyone says that Wei'an Castle is amazing, but when I had never seen it, I thought it was nothing more than that."
Shopkeeper Liu thought to himself: "Now that I have seen it, I know that the Wei'anbao Army is no less powerful than the elite army!"
While thinking about it, Shopkeeper Liu ordered his men: "We have made the preparations that need to be made. The brothers in Wei'anbao have worked so hard, so we can't let others work in vain, can we?"
Shopkeeper Liu's men quickly saluted Shopkeeper Liu: "Master, don't worry. The boys are all ready and promise not to treat the brothers in Wei'anbao badly."
Shopkeeper Liu nodded with satisfaction, and then he focused all his energy on the battle situation again.
At this time, the fake bandits are about to collapse!
They simply had no ability to withstand Wei'anbao's fierce offensive, but they did not dare to retreat. Because they still knew what kind of temper their master was.
Although they were beaten badly, not enough people died! If they just go back like this, their master will definitely think that they are disadvantageous in fighting, and their fate will not be much better by then.
Moreover, their status and the lives of their family are all in the master's house, so they don't dare to let them become deserters.
So even though they were beaten so hard that they couldn't lift their heads, they only retreated slowly and showed no signs of collapse.
Lu Xu looked at the way those people wanted to run but didn't dare to run, and knew that their master must be a person with more ruthless methods. The opponent's method was to make the subordinates fear him.
This made Lu Xu very happy in his heart. Not to mention that because of this method, those on the opposite side did not dare to retreat for the time being.
But the gap in strength is irreversible!
Wei'anbao has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and it is only a matter of time before they win or win a big victory. The cruel methods of the opponent Yuxia are of no use in front of Lu Xu.
On the contrary, it is precisely because the opponent uses fear to drive his subordinates. Therefore, once his subordinates are captured or face greater fear, they will not have any loyalty to their master.
In other words, compared to those who are truly loyal and brave, such people are more likely to have their mouths pried open. And once they are pried open, it will be like pouring beans through a bamboo tube!
During the battle, in order to prevent Luo Yingyan from taking over or making any mistakes in on-the-spot command, Lu Xu always followed Luo Yingyan, ready to take over the command at any time.
Now, when Lu Xu was sure that those on the opposite side had no fighting spirit and that the information was of great value, he whispered to Luo Yingyan: "Change your sword."
Luo Yingyan understood this and immediately shouted: "Front row! Change the knife!"
Seeing them put away their bows, the bandits let out a long sigh. They felt that their chance to fight back had come!
