Cai Yong and Wei Zhongdao were talking about poetry and poetry in the carriage. The comfort of this carriage was far less than the one Liu Xin gave him. However, seeing that they had left the boundary of Jingzhou, Cai Yong's interest also increased.
It became thicker.
This caravan also had more than a hundred guards. The guards saw smoke rising from behind from a distance and quickly reported to Wei Zhongdao.
Wei Zhongdao said to Cai Yong: "Sir, there is a large group of cavalry coming from behind. I don't know who they are. How about we find a place to take shelter first."
Cai Yong also stretched his head out of the car window and looked back. Sure enough, he saw a puff of dust and smoke coming from behind, getting closer and closer to them. He hurriedly said: "Liu Xin has a flying tiger bodyguard, all of which are cavalry."
.These people are coming in a menacing way. They must have noticed that I was gone and chased me. Let’s take cover quickly.”
"Sir, you are right. I think so too. Liu Xin is a villain. If he catches up, there is no guarantee that he will not kill him. But there is no need to be afraid of him. We have passed Jingzhou and are on the border of Yingchuan.
"Although Wei Zhongdao said this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He saw a mountain col ahead. He pointed with his hand and ordered the guards, "Quick, hide there."
Wei Zhongdao was complacent. The mountain col was relatively narrow and was not conducive to large groups of cavalry. Although there were not many guards under his command, they were all highly skilled in martial arts and could easily deal with a few ordinary officers and soldiers. Unexpectedly, they had just entered the mountain col.
, then I heard a "whistle", and many people poured out from the end of the mountain col and both sides of the hillside, but they were a group of bandits!
At the head was a big man, dressed in black, carrying an iron rod, laughing loudly: "I drove this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by this way and leave money to buy the road!"
Cai Yong and Wei Zhongdao were immediately frightened. There were bandits in front of them and pursuers behind them. What could they do? All the guards looked at Wei Zhongdao. He was the leader of the caravan. The battle and peace all depended on him.
That makes sense. However, these guards understand that looking at this situation, there are more than a thousand bandits, and they also have an advantageous location. If they fight, they may not be able to get away.
In front of Cai Yong's family, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help but step out of the carriage and said to the big man: "Hero, we are the caravan of the Wei family in Hedong. We are going to Luoyang. We want to go to Luoyang."
I need to borrow a road, I wonder if it can be convenient?"
The big man smiled contemptuously: "Huh, don't be wordy. I trust Tianyaksha Heman that I don't care who you are. If you want to survive, keep your money and women and let you live."
Wei Zhongdao hesitated a little. If these bandits just wanted money, then he would admit it by pinching his nose. After all, he was outnumbered and it was important to save his life. But there were only two women in the team, namely Mrs. Cai and Cai Yan.
He couldn't help but glance at the carriage behind him, and said to He Man: "Good man, if you want money, just take it, but we don't have women here."
He Man pointed at the two carriages and said, "What's on the carriages?"
In his eagerness, Wei Zhongdao lied casually and said: "The car in front is the car below, and there are some fodder in the car behind."
He Man sneered: "You are coaxing a three-year-old child. Do you need such a good carriage to load fodder?"
The bandits around them burst into laughter. Mrs. Cai and her daughter were in the car, and they were so frightened that they shrank into a ball and did not dare to move.
He Man waved his hand and said to the bandits: "Young men, go to the carriage and see what kind of fodder it is."
Several minions shouted and rushed towards the carriage, and the caravan guards hurriedly stopped in front. Wei Zhongdao turned around and saw the smoke behind him getting closer and closer. He suddenly became proud and said to He Man: "Heroes, why bother to kill them all? Everyone
Everyone give way. Didn't you see that the officers and soldiers of the brigade are about to arrive?"
He Man pointed behind Wei Zhongdao with his hand and laughed: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. Are those officers and soldiers?"
Before Wei Zhongdao could turn around, the rear group was in chaos. His caravan went to Xiangyang just to explore the road and did not carry any goods. There were only 20 to 30 people on horseback in the team, and the rest were on foot, and there were no cars.
It was used to block the road. The cavalry team quickly rushed into their team. When Wei Zhongdao took a closer look, he saw where the officers and soldiers were. They were clearly a group of bandits, with about a hundred cavalry.
It turned out that these more than a hundred horses could not create such a big smoke. Unexpectedly, one of these bandits was knowledgeable and found branches and tied them to the tails of the horses. From a distance, it seemed that there was something coming.
The hundreds or thousands of people really frightened Wei Zhongdao and his party, and they hid in this mountain col.
These people are all the disintegrated Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, who have become bandits in this mountain forest. But bandits are not so easy to be. It is approaching the cold winter, and they still have no food and clothing, and their life is very difficult. Recently, I traveled to Luoyang
The number of caravans with Jingzhou increased significantly, which attracted the attention of these bandits. As early as when Wei Zhongdao and the others had just left Xiangyang, they were spotted by the eyes and ears sent by the bandits and followed them all the way. However, the bandits did not dare to enter Jingzhou.
They took action, because they knew how powerful Liu Xin was. The remaining Nanyang Yellow Turban soldiers tried to flee to Yingchuan several times, but they were all wiped out. But the bandits also knew that Liu Xin had an advantage, that is, he would not use troops across the border, so they passed
At the border of Jingzhou, bandits gathered together unscrupulously and organized cavalry to drive the caravan into an ambush.
This group of bandit cavalry rushed in with "whistles" and divided the caravan into two sections. Wei Qun, the captain of the caravan's guard, grew up in the Wei family and was loyal to the Wei family. He was a bloody man. Seeing that the situation was not good, he was heartbroken.
Concerned about Wei Zhongdao's safety, he gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, drew out his steel knife, and led more than twenty people to greet him.
Although the group of bandits coming from behind were riding horses, they were not serious cavalry. Upon seeing this, they jumped off their horses one after another and started fighting with the guards. The guards of the caravan were indeed very skilled in martial arts.
The thieves were originally a mob, but in their haste they were no match for them. They were killed and retreated, leaving more than ten corpses behind in the blink of an eye.
The guards were eager to kill. They took off their outer robes and wore only a pair of small clothes. They slashed left and right and forced their way to the back, shouting loudly: "Young master, hurry up!"
He Man didn't expect that things would take such a sudden turn, and he was furious. He pointed the iron rod in his hand towards the sky and shouted: "Young men, come with me, don't let any of them go!"
Immediately, the bandits rushed down the hillside in chaos, swarming towards the caravan like a tide. They started a melee with the caravan guards at the entrance of the mountain col.
Dressed in red and colorful.
Although there are more than a hundred caravan guards, many of whom are skilled in martial arts, very few have actually experienced such a bloody scene. On the other hand, the bandits are different. They have fought hard for more than half a year with their heads tied to
Those who live on the waistband, I don’t know what to do today, how can I take care of many people, and with the strength of the people, I quickly gained the upper hand.
Wei Qun shouted: "Master, get in the car quickly."
Wei Zhongdao stood under the car and tried several times but could not get up.
Wei Qun took a look and was about to step forward to help him, but found that the coachman had already hidden somewhere. Knowing that today was really dangerous, he could no longer care about anything, so he rushed to Wei Zhongdao and pulled him over. When his own horse came, he helped him up, slapped the horse's butt hard with the handle of his knife, and shouted: "Master, run quickly!"
Wei Zhongdao was usually very pampered and had never ridden a horse. At this time, in order to survive, he didn't care about anything. Even Cai Yong's family had long forgotten it. He held the horse's mane tightly with both hands and lay on the horse's back. He only listened to The wind whizzed in my ears, and I was already frightened out of my mind.
The horse's butt hurt, and it ran away happily outside the mountain col. The bandits were unable to stop it for a while. Seeing that Wei Zhongdao was about to break out of the encirclement, the Wei Qun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to be stunned for a moment. , he was stabbed in the back. But he saw a bandit took something out of his arms and threw it on the ground in front of Wei Zhongdao's horse. Not long after the horse ran out, the man suddenly stood up. , with a long hiss, Wei Zhongdao fell to the ground, struggling but unable to get up again. The bandits swarmed up, put a knife on Wei Zhongdao's neck, and dragged him up from the ground.
Seeing that Wei Zhongdao had been captured, the Wei Qun let out a long sigh, threw away the sword in their hands, and surrendered. Seeing that the situation was over, the guards also threw away their swords and guns and stopped resisting.
He Man picked up the iron bar and walked up to the Wei group first and said: "Boy, you are quite good at fighting. You have injured many of my brothers. How do you want to die?"
Wei Qun suffered at least six or seven injuries on his body, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, glaring at He Man without saying a word.
He Man sneered "hehe" and said: "You are a tough guy, so let's let you die a more heroic death." After saying that, he raised the iron rod and pointed it at Wei Qun's head and "whooped", Wei Qun kept humming. Without making a sound, he fell to the ground, his whole head was smashed to pieces, and his brains burst out onto the ground.
Wei Zhongdao had never seen such a horrific scene before. His legs were shaking with fear. When he saw He Man walking towards him step by step with a bloody stick, he couldn't help but trembled. A stream of heat flowed out from his lower body, and his legs It was already wet.
Seeing his cowardice, He Man couldn't help but laugh, stretched out a big hand, picked him up gently, dragged him to the two carriages, put the iron rod on his head, and asked: " Boy, how old are you, why do you still pee your pants? You refused to drink the toast just now, but you insist on drinking the fine wine. Tell me, what on earth is in the car?"
Wei Zhongdao's legs suddenly went weak and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I am willing to dedicate all the money I have with you to Your Majesty. There is a mother and daughter in the car behind. They are both extremely beautiful. I offer them all to the king, and I only ask the king to spare the life of the villain."
Mrs. Cai and her daughter were shivering in the car. They heard the shouts of killing outside gradually stopped, but they still did not dare to look out of the car. When they first heard He Man said that Wei Zhongdao peed his pants, they knew that the guards outside must have been defeated, and they felt a little desperate. Unexpectedly, when they heard Wei Zhongdao say that they would sacrifice their mother and daughter to this bandit, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.
Cai Yong could hear clearly from the car in front of him. He jumped out of the car desperately, pointed at Wei Zhong who was kneeling on the ground and said: "You, you, you..." He couldn't catch it in one breath. I was so anxious that I fainted.
