Jiang County is a place with good connections in all directions and is an important city for commercial exchanges. The road leading in and out of the city is a real highway.
Moreover, pedestrians and caravans come and go very frequently.
To kill people and steal goods around here is to act like a robber under the bright sky.
Although after committing such a big case, Ban Zhang could still guess that it was Wu Nian who did the robbery. But a fig leaf is still needed.
Wu Nian, Zhang Jin, Long Qie and others were all masked with black cloth, wearing armor and holding steel knives.
If you don't ride a horse, the horse will be too long and cumbersome.
Dozens of people and horses were lying in ambush on both sides of the road, hiding under the grass and trees, making them very hidden.
The weather is getting hotter now. Wu Nian was wearing airtight and heavy armor, and even though he was hiding, he was still covered in sweat.
But still within the tolerance range.
In the past, when he was a mercenary, he could lurk in smelly ditches, with the smell filling the sky and mosquitoes flying around. His endurance was very strong.
In this case, hydration is very important. Wu Nian tried not to make a sound, and from time to time he picked up the sheepskin water bag and took a sip of water. He was not in a hurry to swallow it, but held it in his mouth for a while before swallowing it.
Wu Nian's eyes were like water curtains, with sweat dripping down from time to time as he stared at the people coming and going on the avenue.
"Here we come." Wu Nian perked up and caught a glimpse of the ten carts lined up in a long snake formation in the south.
The materials piled high on these carts are not necessarily goods, but may also include tents, food and other baggage. It is common for caravans to eat and sleep in the open.
The carts are pulled by mules. In addition to the driver of each cart, there are also attendants and guards with bows, guns and swords.
On such a hot day, the guard was wearing two pieces of extremely simple leather armor, front and back.
At a glance, there were fifty or sixty people.
Not to mention that there are only a few people, there are a hundred or two hundred people. Wu Nian also did it this time.
Wu Nian took a deep breath and watched the team slowly approach. When the team came to them, he shouted: "Fire the arrow."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." The archers who were ambushing on both sides stood up one after another, released their bows that had been fully drawn, and arrows fell towards the convoy like raindrops.
"Pfft, pfft."
"ah!!!"
The people in the caravan were caught off guard and let out screams. But their mobility was very good, and they quickly reacted and hid around the cart. While looking out, they also drew their big bows and shot arrows on both sides.
Wu Nian heard the screams of his own men after being hit by arrows.
"This quality is a bit strong." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and said to Zhang Jin, Long Qie, Li Sheng and others on the left and right: "Come on."
"kill!"
Wu Nian held a steel knife and jumped down from the mountain first. After landing with his feet on the ground, he rolled on the spot and avoided a flying arrow.
It was an instinctive reaction that saved his life.
If he hadn't dodged just now, this arrow would probably have hit his face.
Wu Nian did not panic, but his eyes were focused. This arrow shoots very fast and is very powerful. This is not a bow that ordinary people can shoot.
It belongs to the category of [Heavy Arrow], which can not only break armor, but also cause certain trauma to heavily armored soldiers.
"be careful."
"Archers, cover us."
Wu Nian shouted. Not only did he not show any fear, but he strode forward with a pair of tiger eyes staring at a dark-faced man hiding behind the cart. His ears were perked up, listening to what was going on around him.
Keep your eyes on the front and your ears on all directions.
Wu Nian felt a little weird. This man was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
"Whoosh."
The black-faced man looked at Wu Nian, who was wearing armor and holding a steel knife. There was no fear on his face. He drew the strong bow in his hand, took aim, and shot a heavy arrow.
"Ding!!" Wu Nian was on guard this time. He raised the steel knife in his hand and narrowly missed the arrow with a slight flick of his wrist.
"It's really powerful." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
It has only been a few months since time travel, so there is too little time to exercise. This body is actually just so-so, and there is no comparison with the body in his previous life.
The black-faced man saw a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Wu Nian actually deflecting the arrow he shot. You know his strength.
It was extremely difficult to dodge the arrows he shot, let alone miss them.
The guy across from me is definitely no ordinary person.
"Whoosh." Although the black-faced man was surprised, he didn't panic and shot another arrow at Wu Nian. Wu Nian predicted the path of the black-faced man's arrow. This time he did not miss it, but turned to the right to avoid the arrow.
The powerful and heavy arrow hit a big tree behind Wu Nian and penetrated a large part of it. The tail of the arrow seemed to be going crazy, trembling incessantly.
It's really strong.
After dodging three arrows, Wu Nian was very close to the black-faced man.
"Wow!!!" The black-faced man yelled, abandoned the big bow in his hand, took out the steel knife from his waist, and rushed towards Wu Nian.
A man wearing only simple leather armor rushed towards a heavy infantryman with a knife. And this was after Wu Nian showed his first-class ability.
This kind of fearlessness is very terrifying.
Wu Nian's expression finally changed and he shouted: "There are people from Meng Yuan."
He was not worried about himself, but worried about his companions.
damn it.
What exactly was being transported on this shipment? There were actually Meng Yuan people sneaking in to act as guards.
Although Wu Nian was worried about his companions, he still focused on the enemy in front of him.
His eyes were constantly moving, as if they were radars, watching the movements of the opponent's body and judging the opponent's knife path.
"Here we come." On one side of Wu Nian's body, a sword light fell from the sky. Wu Nian seemed to be in danger, but in fact, he avoided this sword by calculating everything. He rushed into the arms of the black-faced man, turned his wrist, and hit the black-faced man in the chest with the handle of the knife.
"Wow!" The black-faced man opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs were severely injured, but his face seemed to be like a rock that had not changed for thousands of years, without any change. A headbutt hit Wu Nian's temple hard.
Wu Nian bent his right arm and hit the black-faced man's neck hard with his arm-armored elbow.
With a "click" and the sound of broken bones, the black-faced man finally couldn't hold on any longer, swayed and fell to the ground.
"An unknown person who can fight with me a few times. Is this the general level of Mongolian soldiers?" Wu Nian stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat from his face.
It's not scary, it's hot.
But his mood was indeed solemn.
If the ordinary soldiers of the Meng Yuan people were of this level, then Chu deserved to be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
Amidst the harsh mountains and rivers, a fierce nation stands out.
Wu Nian looked up and felt relieved. There are many Mongolian soldiers hidden in this team. But they also came prepared.
There are five pieces of armor.
He, Zhang Jin, and Long Qie are all there. If the boat can still capsize in the gutter, then just hit it head-on and die.
In the blink of an eye, the caravan's guards were completely wiped out.
Some on our side were injured, but no one died.
After Wu Nian felt relieved, he looked back at the ten large cars and became more and more curious.
What on earth is here?
