It was at this time that the Xie family caravan had time to fight back. Their number was naturally much smaller than this group of Khitans and horse thieves, so they could only use this opportunity to shoot again. A batch of arrows.
"Shoot it back! Draw the knife!"
The Third Master first shot one of the thieves at the forefront with an arrow and instantly knocked him off his horse, and then quickly drew out his long knife.
There is only one chance!
At this time, no one could care about the goods that were already on fire. After everyone quickly released an arrow, they abandoned their bows and drew their swords.
But under the messy firelight, the third master could see that only a few horse thieves were shot down in this messy batch of arrows. More horse thieves actually resorted to the difficult maneuver of hiding in stirrups.
Therefore, the horse thieves who rushed over seemed not to have been troubled at all. Amidst the thunderous sound of hoofbeats, they jumped high over the wall of carriages in just an instant.
The Xie family guards who were facing each other dodged to both sides, and two loud shouts were heard. Two ropes with iron hooks on top were instantly tied to several carriages.
Since these carriages only had carriage boards and no cargo, they were pulled over instantly by the force of inertia.
It's just that one of the horse thieves whistled, and all the horse thieves on horseback stood up straight. With a wave of their scimitars, the Xie family's guards were cut off from the shoulder.
Blood spattered, and the banker surnamed Xie, who had not yet reacted, screamed. He no longer cared about the goods and ran back as hard as he could.
Some women around him also screamed loudly and hid behind various carriages in a panic.
But now, the third master no longer cares about them.
The moment the shoe and horse thief rushed in, he discovered this big man who was quite capable of fighting, and immediately surrounded him.
Fortunately, due to the layout of the carriage circle, there were not many horse thieves who rushed in to attack them. Nearly a hundred strong men from the Xie family came behind and stopped these horse thieves from shouting.
But then, countless hooks were thrown towards them, and any carriage they hooked would be pulled away with all their might.
From time to time, arrows flew through the air, but it was of no use at this moment. Swords against knives, steps against riders, fighting each other hand-to-hand was the scene now.
Only then did the Third Master discover that among the horse thieves who besieged the caravan, in addition to some people suspected of being Khitan people, there were also many Han people among them.
Without exception, these people are all experts who have received formal training. Whether they are attacking on horseback or riding and shooting, they are all very skilled.
No wonder this area is so deserted...
Before the Third Master could think much, he was already involved in a melee with countless guards and young men.
As for the banker surnamed Xie who was running away, he now had his men desperately trying to stop the horse thief, so he could breathe a little.
At this moment, he no longer cares about the goods, he just wants to save his life. The two concubines he loved so much before have now become a burden in his eyes.
But if we leave directly, how can we save our lives in this wild place? He didn't have time to think too much, he just asked the dozen or so people responsible for protecting him to collect the horses quickly, but he actually planned to abandon the people over there to stop the horse thieves and run away.
The two concubines were crying, but he was very impatient and panicked, so he immediately slapped them on the face.
"Why don't you hurry up and get some money? Why don't we go back and don't need any money?"
But now he discovered that at some point, wine ran to the tent of Li Jing and his wife.
The tent where Li Jing and Chi Meng lived was safer because it was closer to the inside. But the strange thing was that it was now in such a mess that there was no sign of anyone coming out of the tent.
Everyone in the tents in the entire camp came out in a panic. Who was not afraid at this time? This young couple was an outlier.
The banker sneered, just leaving the two of them here to stop the horse thieves, they really deserved their bad luck!
His men quickly brought in a dozen strong horses, and he hurriedly rode on them, calling on the people who were acting as close guards to escape with him.
As for the two concubines, they couldn't get up, so they had to be left here to fend for themselves.
Anyway, in the eyes of this banker, it is impossible to stop those damn horse thieves...
"Master, what should I do with my family! What should I do with my family!"
When the two women saw that the banker wanted to run away alone, they were naturally panicked. They immediately hugged the banker's legs and tried to pull him down.
At this moment, several ferocious-looking horse thieves rushed in and looked this way with just one glance.
"Get the fuck out of here!"
After kicking the two weak women away, the banker swung his riding whip fiercely and galloped towards the darkness.
The men couldn't bear the sight of two weak women lying on the ground crying, but they had no choice but to look away and couldn't bear to look anymore, but still followed the banker towards the departure point.
Weeping and crying, the two women saw that they had no support, and saw a few horse thieves who didn't know how to rush in. They just screamed and climbed straight into the tent belonging to Li Jing and the two.
Excited whistling sounds sounded outside, and the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer. The two women were trembling, but they saw that inside the tent, the handsome young man who was usually very low-key, ignored the panic outside and was very calm. sitting on the carpet.
There seems to be a cup of tea in his hand?
His young wife, who was equally calm now, was playing with a bamboo flute in her hand and glanced at the two women who rushed in in a panic.
"Young master... a thief... there is a thief!"
The two of them were afraid that Li Jing wouldn't know what was going on outside, so they stood up in a hurry and wanted to run towards Li Jing, but their legs were so weak that they couldn't stand upright.
They heard a burst of laughter outside, and the sound of footsteps falling off a horse. The two women turned their heads in horror, and saw that the curtains were roughly opened. Three people wearing leather hats and military short shirts looked at them. It looks a little bloated.
But the look on his face was really frightening.
The three horse thieves each carried a scimitar. They first glanced at the two women who were paralyzed on the ground and could not scream for a moment, and then glanced at the situation inside the tent.
Siluke
A young man who looked a little frail, and a tall and good-looking woman.
The three horse thieves looked at each other and laughed.
They didn't think about why the young man and the girl were so calm. They just stepped on the carpet in the tent and strode in.
The two women whimpered and shrank away from each other, watching as one of the horse thieves walked straight towards Li Jing. At the same time, he pointed his scimitar at Li Jing's nose and spoke in a crude and incomprehensible language.
The two women were shivering and could only hold each other gropingly, not daring to look at what would happen next.
"I didn't want to meddle in other people's business..."
A strong wind blew across their cheeks, and the two women, who had their eyes closed tightly, heard the sound of iron tools falling to the ground, and then the dull sound of something falling straight to the ground.
"Xiao Guo Guo! I'll come as promised!"
