The sun finally set completely on the other side of the mountain, leaving only a faint afterglow, which turned the clouds on the horizon as red as blood. The thieves who had been busy for most of an hour finally completed the task of logging before dark.
, four huge bonfires burned fiercely, bursting out with strong orange-red light, which complemented the sunset in the sky, and looked like
The scenery was pretty good, but the exhausted bandits had no intention of enjoying it. They staggered and slumped on the grass one by one, breathing heavily. But before the bandits could recover,
Seeing a horse galloping over from the direction of the main formation in the distance, Sha Wanli, who was whispering to Hu Yan Tiexin, had to rush to meet him.
"Master Sha Da, Grandpa Sun has an order: all the horses you are riding on must gather behind the formation to prevent Li Xian's son from seizing the horses and escaping!" Lai Qi ignored Sha Wanli's greetings at all, and said in a loud voice with a straight face.
He gave an order.
"Fart, without horses, how can we go to war?"
"Fuck you, aren't you asking me to die?"
"Bullshit Mr. Sun, if he wants my horse, tell him to get it himself, get out!"
…
Most of the horse thieves' martial arts skills are on horseback. Without the horses, they are like toothless tigers. They can hardly use 10% of their abilities. It would be okay if they bully the common people, but at this moment they are facing
It's fierce
Li Xian's subordinates, who had no choice but to die, didn't look good when they heard that Sun Gong asked everyone to hand over their horses. Before Sha Wanli could say anything, the bandits were already opening their mouths and cursing indifferently.
Come on.
"Those who dare to disobey orders will be killed without mercy!"
The person who came to deliver the order was obviously a master. He let out a roar as loud as thunder, and with just one voice he was able to suppress the curses of all the bandits.
"Brother Lu Nan, I'm afraid there are a lot of things wrong with this move. We are all heroes on horseback. Without horses, our combat power will be in danger. If that little thief leads his troops to attack, it will be difficult for us.
If you are blocking his attack, why don’t I go talk to Grandpa Sun again?”
Sha Wanli had already been disappointed with "Gong Sun" and wanted to rebel. However, he was not very satisfied with the two conditions offered by Li Xian and was in the process of hesitation. However, whether he voted for Li Xian or not, this war horse
They were all very important bargaining chips, and since they were unwilling to do what "Mr. Sun" wanted in every possible way, he said with a smile.
"There is no need for you to fight. If that little thief dares to break out of the dense forest, you can just give a warning. The rest of the matter will be handled by Grandpa Sun at the opportunity. No need to say more. How long will it take to act as ordered?"
Lu Nan was a martial arts master sent by Empress Wu. Although his status was far inferior to Guan Boss and others, his arrogance was not inferior to Guan Boss and others. He had never paid much attention to Sha Wanli. After hearing Sha Wanli's explanation,
He couldn't help but sneered and shouted domineeringly.
"this……"
According to Sha Wanli's plan, if the conditions offered by Li Xian were good enough, he would surrender to Li Xian, pretend to engage in battle, take the opportunity to offer the horse with both hands, and help Li Xian escape from the siege, thus gaining a big fight.
credit, can be
Once "Sun Gong" was mixed up with the order, this vision was obviously going to fall into place. This was not something Sha Wanli wanted to see. He wanted to protest, but he didn't have the guts to fall out with "Sun Gong". He was very anxious.
Cold sweat broke out on my head.
"What? Mr. Shada wants to disobey his orders?"
Seeing Sha Wanli hesitating there, Lu Nan's face immediately turned ugly. He glanced disdainfully at Sha Wanli and squeezed out a sinister word from between his teeth.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Brother Lu, please wait a moment. Sha will do it now."
Sha Wanli's face changed several times, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to fall out with Grandpa Sun on the spot. After rolling his eyes, he could only agree with all kinds of helplessness.
"Then hurry up, it will be completely dark today. If you miss Grandpa Sun's important event, you all will have to walk around without food, huh!"
Hearing that Sha Wanli had already surrendered, Lu Nan didn't say anything more. He just left a cold explanation and ran back towards the formation. Without counting, he saw three people rushing out of the formation.
Forty riders rushed towards Sha Wanli and others.
"Master, what should I do? You should make up your mind quickly."
"The boss, are you going to let me live?"
"Master, this battle can't go on anymore, how about we withdraw later?"
…
As soon as Lu Nan left, all the bandits got into a rage. They surrounded Sha Wanli, who was ashen-faced, and started shouting blindly.
"That's enough, shut up and give up!"
Seeing so many people rushing towards the formation, Sha Wanli's last bit of luck was extinguished. He waved his hand in annoyance and shouted, driving all the bandits away.
But I got close to Shen
Huyan Tiexin, who was silent next to him, gave an order in a low voice: "Second brother, go to see His Royal Highness immediately and say that we accept both conditions. I only ask that His Highness can keep his promise and rescue our family."
Xiao, I will repay you with death as soon as possible."
"promise!"
Hearing that Sha Wanli finally made up his mind, Hu Yantie's anxious heart finally relaxed a lot. He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly responded. Taking advantage of the chaos among the bandits, he quietly
He quietly disappeared into the dense forest and ran quickly towards where Li Xian and others were...
At the end of Haishi, the night is already very deep, everything is silent, and the surroundings are completely dark. Only four raging bonfires are burning freely, and groups of bandits are patrolling back and forth in the gaps between the bonfires with sharp knives.
It's just that my steps are extremely slow and my morale is extremely low.
Rather than being vigilant, it is better to say that he is responding to the situation. On the contrary, Sha Wanli, the big boss, seems to be much more energetic. He is running back and forth loudly, looking like he is conscientious and responsible. He only glances at him from time to time.
There was a strong look of nervousness and uneasiness in Mi Lin's eyes.
"Qu Qu..."
A crisp whistle suddenly sounded in the dark dense forest. The sound was not loud, but Sha Wanli's pupils shrank wildly in an instant, his heart beat like a deer, and he rushed to the bonfire next to him.
He picked up a burning thick branch from the fire and hurriedly waved it three times in the direction of the dense forest, thus sending out the response signal.
"Quick, start!"
As soon as he dropped the branch, Sha Wanli couldn't wait to give orders to several bandit leaders around him.
"The Tang thief is coming!"
"The Tang thief is trying to escape!"
"Kill, kill!"
…
As soon as Sha Wanli gave this order, his confidants who had already received his orders started shouting wildly. They stamped their feet with all their strength and banged the weapons in their hands, creating a chaotic sound. When the other bandits saw this, they all coaxed them.
Chaos broke out, the sounds of running, shouting, and wild shouting were all intertwined together, creating a frenzied scene of a fight between one group and another.
"Get on your horse, follow me, and attack!"
Sun Quanfu led nearly five hundred elites who were recharging their energy at a distance of about a hundred feet behind the bonfire. When he heard the commotion ahead, he did not dare to be negligent. He shouted loudly and jumped onto the horse's back.
, shook the horse's reins, and led a group of men to rush towards the first bonfire where the commotion started, trying to give Li Xian and others a head-on blow with the force of a cavalry charge.
"Attack!"
The rumble of horse hoofs had just sounded. Li Xian, who had already led his troops to ambush not far from the fourth bonfire, was keenly aware of it. He did not dare to delay at all, so he lowered his voice and gave the order to attack.
Everyone rushed out of the dense forest and rushed towards the bonfire in silence.
"withdraw!"
It was Huyan Tiexin who was guarding the fourth bonfire. Seeing that Li Xian's troops had rushed out of the dense forest as promised, he did not dare to neglect it. He waved his hand, shouted low, and led his troops to evacuate from the bonfire.
, made way for the passage, and watched Li Xian and others rush over.
"call out……"
As soon as he rushed to the bonfire, Li Xian pinched his lips and whistled loudly. Not long after, he heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the darkness on the west side, and soon he saw lions and horses running happily in the dark night.
land
He led the horses and galloped to the front. When he saw Li Xian's face, Zhaoye Shishima snorted with excitement and ran to Li Xian's side triumphantly. His big head touched Li Xian's face affectionately.
chest.
"Mount your horse and retreat!"
Li Xian lovingly patted Zhaoye Shishima on the head, but did not dare to delay for a moment. Then he shouted loudly and jumped on the horse's back. The guards did not dare to neglect and went on their own.
They led a war horse, got on the horse one after another, followed Li Xian with whips and roars, and rushed towards the dark grassland, disappearing without a trace within a few breaths.
"Damn it, Sha Wanli, where is the Tang thief?"
Not to mention that Li Xian's troops had taken advantage of the chaos to evacuate, but Sun Quanfu led hundreds of elite cavalry to rush to the first bonfire like a wind and the remaining clouds. After a lot of effort, he finally managed to tangle the bandits in the chaos.
However, he suddenly discovered that the so-called enemy attack was actually invisible. He immediately became angry and rushed to Sha Wanli on horseback, scolding him unceremoniously.
"Mr. Sun, that little thief led a surprise attack earlier. Fortunately, we fought hard and fought to the death. I guess we were afraid, so we all retreated back to the forest. We should still be in the forest at this time."
Facing the unpredictable Sun Quanfu, Sha Wanli felt a deep sense of fear in his heart. How could he dare to tell the truth? He could only explain it with a smile.
"Fart! Er...huh?"
Sun Quanfu was a treacherous character who came from the palace, and he was not so easy to deceive. As soon as he heard it, he knew that what Sha Wanli said must be untrue. He was about to open his mouth to curse when he suddenly heard the third voice from dozens of feet away.
A whistle came from the four bonfires, and the expression on his face couldn't help but
Then he changed his mind and cursed angrily: "Damn it, you fell into the little thief's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Go after them and kill them all!" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't pay much attention to Sha Wanli, whose face changed wildly, and twisted the horse's head.
, led his troops and hurriedly rushed to the first bonfire to cover up...
