The thunderbolt was rolling towards Big Beard's feet, but he didn't realize what it was. Instead, he frantically warned, and several guards nearby quickly came over, and then...
There was a loud bang and corpses were scattered everywhere.
In the tent, although Suna was held hostage by Dong Tianbao, he still had a fierce look on his face: "You are very brave, you dare to cause trouble in my place."
"You are so brave, you dare to intercept and kill the caravan." Dong Tianbao stopped pretending to be hoarse at this moment and pushed him directly outside the tent.
"You are not Rong Qi, who are you?"
Dong Tianbao ignored him and led him directly towards the back of the camp.
At this time, there was a cry of killing from the rear of the camp, and at the same time, a signal arrow flew into the air, exploding into the sky with fireworks.
Suna still wanted to struggle, but Dong Tianbao cut off his ear with a knife: "Be more honest, or I will cut off your ear with the next knife."
Feeling the dagger pressing against his vitals, Suna shivered and calmed down instantly.
At the back of the camp, the members of the Revenge Team had formed a formation and formed a circle. The front row held shields and raised knives, while the back row fired arrows from the gaps.
At this time, the horse bandits in the camp were still in chaos. They organized a charge, but were shot back by crossbow arrows, causing heavy casualties.
The power of the steel-armed crossbow should not be underestimated. It could penetrate armor within a hundred steps. The patchwork armor on these horse bandits could not withstand the crossbow arrows at all.
Dong Tianbao soon joined his brothers. Several people came up and tied up Suna tightly.
Suna was still shouting: "I have eight hundred brothers here. If you can't escape, please let me go."
But no one paid any attention to him and stuffed him directly into the carriage of the carriage.
Relying on the goods accumulated in the rear camp, the revenge team formed a line of defense with horse-drawn carriages, which greatly improved security. They did not even think about fighting out, they only needed to wait here for reinforcements.
The horse bandits of the Ulinda tribe have organized several attacks, and the defense line composed of horse-drawn carriages has become incomplete. Although every charge has been repulsed, the revenge team has also suffered casualties.
The last time we fought was a smooth battle, we had a lot of calculations but not care, so everything went well, but this time it was a hard fight. Facing eight hundred brave horse bandits who were not afraid of death, the team members couldn't help but feel shaken.
Especially after the first team member died in battle, fear inevitably arose. As team members died one after another, the fear gradually amplified, and some people even cried.
After all, Dong Tianbao was not a general leading troops, so he could only constantly comfort and encourage them. He even rushed out and killed five people in a row before he could force the horse bandits back.
The horse bandits quickly changed their tactics and stopped attacking by force. Instead, they circled around the position they formed, feinting to attack from time to time, shooting a burst of arrows and then retreating.
In an isolated and helpless situation, this tactic can easily bring down the opponent, but Dong Tianbao was slightly relieved when he saw this situation. While organizing the treatment of the wounded, he consolidated the defense and asked everyone to protect themselves and avoid being coldly targeted.
shot.
But even so, a few team members were on the verge of collapse, and one of them, a young man named Wei Yong, was even worse. He was crying and shooting arrows aimlessly, making Dong Tianbao angry and kicking him several times.
"Why are you crying? There are more than a hundred people in the team, but you are the biggest, and you are crying like a girl. Are you embarrassed?"
This Wei Yong is only sixteen years old. He used to work as a coolie in a warehouse. He is big, has good physical fitness, and has top-notch results in training. He did not expect that his mental quality is so poor.
After being scolded by Dong Tianbao, Wei Yong wiped away his tears and said: "I...I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid that if I die, no one will care about my sister, woo woo woo."
"Fuck your mother, I told everyone before I came here. If you don't want to, don't force me. Besides, if you die, I will give you a pension of five hundred taels, which will be enough for your sister's dowry."
"Is it really true that you will be given five hundred taels if you die?"
"How can I lie to you?" Dong Tianbao said angrily: "Let me tell you, this is a battlefield. The more you fear death, the faster you will die. Do you understand?"
Wei Yong wiped away his tears, nodded solemnly, put down the crossbow in his hand, picked up his sword and shield, stood up and rushed out.
Dong Tianbao quickly grabbed him back and slapped him on the head: "Those who die in battle will count, not those who die."
Wei Yong shrank his neck, let out a cry, and then raised his crossbow again, squinting his eyes and aiming. With a swish, the crossbow arrow shot out, hitting a horse bandit who was charging towards him with a strange cry.
Dong Tianbao patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard, try to make more money, and let your sister marry a good family in the future."
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. This sound of horse hoofbeats was different from the chaotic sounds in the camp. It was uniform and uniform. Just from the sound of horse hoofs, you could tell that it was an elite troop.
Dong Tianbao suddenly became energetic: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, please guard them all."
In fact, there was no need to defend anymore, because the horse bandits also saw the reinforcements, which looked like regular troops, and it was very dark, with at least several thousand people.
How could the horse bandits dare to fight against the regular army? Besides, the leader had been captured, so they simply ran out in a swarm.
This reinforcement was the 10,000 patrol cavalry that Sosna mentioned. After Dong Tianbao escorted Rong Qi back to Tumubao, Yang Xuan had already made a plan to have the cavalry of the Essin tribe encircle and suppress the Ulinda tribe.
What Dong Tianbao has to do is to contain them.
Soon, under the encirclement and suppression by the regular army, not a single horse bandit from the entire Ulinda tribe could escape. They were all dead and maimed. In the end, only more than 200 people were captured alive.
Dong Tianbao breathed a sigh of relief, and all the members of the revenge team collapsed on the ground.
In this battle, they managed to hold back more than 800 fierce horse bandits with just over a hundred new soldiers. It could be said that they had a narrow escape from death.
More than thirty team members were killed in the battle, and more than half were injured. It was a tragic event.
After several cavalry generals from the Essien tribe came over, they hammered their chests with their fists and bowed.
"You are like eagles on the grassland. You dare to challenge the wolves. You are the real warriors."
On the grassland, this kind of courtesy is only done to respected people. Dong Tianbao also returned the courtesy: "You're welcome, we are here for the souls of the unjust dead."
After this battle, the revenge team had no choice but to return to Tumu Fort to rest.
Although there were heavy casualties in this battle, after being tempered by blood, they have become real warriors, including Dong Tianbao, and their entire temperament has also been sublimated.
In the past, he was polite and considerate to everyone, but now it is different. His eyes reveal strong confidence and a sense of oppression.
