These bandits don't worry at all that the goods will be taken away by others if they are left where they are. It's dark and windy at night, and killing is the most fun thing.
The fast horses galloped under their buttocks, bypassing the horse-resistance formation formed by the goods. No one even glanced at the goods, and roared towards the fleeing people in the distance.
I don't know whether it was because it was dark and the road was difficult to travel, or because these bandits just couldn't wait to cut the opponent into pieces. When the cavalry caught up with the opponent, these people actually ran less than a hundred steps.
Moreover, are there too few people in this caravan?
How could the bandits care about this kind of thing at this time? They raised their sabers with ferocious expressions, as if they were facing a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The bandit who was running at the front had already arrived behind one of them, holding a knife and slashing at the other person's head.
He could even imagine the wonderful scene of the other party's body being separated under the extremely smooth saber he sharpened.
The running speed of these businessmen is too slow. As expected, they are all pampered Central Plains uncles.
He was still thinking about this sentence when he swung the knife.
As a result, his body rose into the air in the next second and was knocked off the horse by a huge force!
He was still wondering what happened in the air, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest. It seemed that the effect of the impact just now was reflected back to his mind by his body.
He was not the only one. The first people who came into contact with the escapees with a massacre mentality were all, without exception, inexplicably knocked off their horses.
This charge is different from the regular troops. There is really no structure. Relying on the impact of the horses and the riding skills of these bandits, it is more than enough to deal with the caravans coming and going. It can even deal with twice as many ordinary people, that is, two or three times. It's about charging.
However, strictly speaking, the people in front of them were not ordinary people without any strength.
But the ten most experienced guards and bodyguards!
The people of the Central Plains have not understood the fighting power of the bandits attached to the Kunlun Mountains for a long time. How can the bandits understand these warriors from the Central Plains?
In the plain wilderness, fifty horse-riding bandits faced off against fifty experienced Central Plains warriors. The Central Plains warriors were almost massacred. The reason was that the collective impact formed by the cavalry could almost wipe out manpower. factors are reduced to a minimum.
But if the bandits don't have horses, their combat effectiveness is completely different from that of tigers without teeth and claws.
The formation was loose, they underestimated the enemy, and they were calculated mentally but not carelessly. In just one encounter, the bandits at the front suffered a small and secret loss at the hands of these ten guards.
And it was not just as simple as being knocked off the horse by the opponent, they also discovered something that made them feel extremely angry. The horse was robbed!
Hitting people and grabbing horses, these two actions were done in one go, making these bandits slightly dazed for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, these bandits were aroused, and the indifference on their faces turned into ferocious and ruthless.
Cunning Central Plains people!
However, the incredible thing is yet to come.
These Central Plains people snatched the horse and did not choose to speed up and escape. Instead, they made a small circle and started running back again.
The sky was dark, and the torches in the hands of the bandits made the surrounding environment even darker. This also caused their visibility to be only the reflection of the torch light.
Photo range.
Those who can run at the front and come into contact with the caravan have horses that are among the best among the bandits. It is actually very difficult to catch up with them.
It is difficult and necessary to chase.
A feeling of being played filled the hearts of these bandits, but they forgot that they were the ones who broke the contract in the first place.
Hu Jinqiu's strategy has been half successful.
Showing weakness to the enemy and deliberately allowing the opponent to evacuate the fortifications is the first step. Sending ten of the best guards to slowly leave the caravan and taking advantage of the darkness to give the opponent the illusion that all the caravan members have left is the second step. step.
Pretend that you are not in good physical condition and cannot run fast, and give the opponent a feeling that it is easy to deal with. This is the third step.
Surprise and attack, seize the opponent's horse, this is the fourth step.
The next thing to do is to continue to deceive the other party. For example, those ten guards will immediately make the other party feel that they are going to run all the way back to the Central Plains and how embarrassed they are.
They may even deliberately slow down their horses to make the other party think they have an opportunity and speed up the pursuit.
Then these ten guards will pass through the seemingly useless horse-rejecting formation, as for what happens next.
That is what the people in the Horse Rejection Formation need to consider.
Yes, what Hu Jinqiu was thinking about from the beginning was not to escape, but how to defeat the opponent while ensuring his own minimum consumption!
Therefore, the people who just walked out from behind the horse-rejecting formation were not, as the leader had expected, composed of businessmen in front and guards at the back. Instead, there were only ten powerful guards at all.
These businessmen have never moved in, just to be wary of the other party's dishonesty and doing this.
Facts have proved that Hu Jinqiu’s suspicion was correct. The other party not only wanted property, but also his life!
If the other party really abides by the agreement and only cares about wealth and not life, then it will be too late for the caravan to leave when the other party counts the goods.
When these bandits rushed towards the property without even taking a second glance at the property, Hu Jinqiu knew that today was definitely going to be a bad day.
They agreed to rob, but were not interested in the property at all, which proves that the other party's purpose is not as simple as robbery at all.
Tu Qiong Dajian is probably talking about this time.
The ten guards rode horses and ran back towards the horse-rejecting formation.
It was said that he was running wildly, but for some reason, his speed was still a little slower than that of the bandits behind him.
When these bandits saw this, they naturally accelerated their horses, and the expressions on their faces became ferocious again.
Ten people passed the horse-rejecting formation one after another, and their speed dropped instantly.
The fugitives behind him vaguely saw the opponent's speed slowing down, so without thinking much, they accelerated and rushed over.
Even if they wanted to, it would be difficult for them to imagine that there was an ambush waiting for them in the anti-horse formation.
Uh-huh!
A ray of cold light stretched out from the horse-rejecting formation, instantly cutting off the legs of the horse in front of the enemy.
With a violent neigh, the horse beneath him instantly fell to the ground, rolled forward in the air, and pinned the man directly underneath him.
Gaba!
I don’t know whether it was the sound of a broken neck bone or a crushing sound of the sternum, but the man was crushed to death by his own horse.
What happened to the first person made the bandits behind him panic instantly. Not only that, but the sudden flash of swords in the horse-rejecting formation also made these bandits aware of the situation.
He put away his contempt and his expression became solemn.
However, people can react, but the horse under the seat cannot react so quickly.
The horse continued to run forward, but it was too late to stop immediately.
More weapons were stretched out from the horse-rejecting formation.
Swords, guns, swords and halberds!
The knife is used to chop the horse's legs, the horse's belly is stabbed, the sword is used to pick the horse's buttocks, and the short halberd is used to shoot people!
Facts have proved that these bandits are not vegetarians. After killing several war horses and injuring several people in an instant, they quickly changed the direction of the horses and moved away from the horse-rejecting formation. They adjusted their arc slightly and continued to move towards The ten guards rushed forward!
Everything was going according to Hu Jinqiu's ideas, but he did not expect that these bandits did not care at all about the loss of personnel and were so fierce!
It is not easy for bandits to survive. It is an unprecedented feat to be able to pull up a team of this size in Kunlun Mountain. However, they are willing to kill the caravan here at all costs. What is the opponent's plan?
What's more, the initial horse grab had already turned ten of the opponent's cavalry into infantry. When passing through the horse-rejection formation, nearly ten more people fell to death. Now that the two sides are almost evenly matched in strength, why can the other side still fight? Do you think you are confident enough to eat these belongings?
Not only Hu Jinqiu in the formation thought so, but others also thought so. The ten guards who had turned their horses were slightly surprised when they saw that the other party did not disperse and evacuated, but actually rushed straight towards them.
Time is no longer enough for Hu Jinqiu to rearrange his strategy against the enemy.
Ten more horses belonging to the caravan filed out of the newly opened opening and charged towards the bandits.
Twenty guards, this is the entire combat strength of this caravan.
If the thirty bandits and ten guards were allowed to fight face to face, the result would be needless to say.
But from the beginning, Hu Jinqiu wanted these twenty guards to attack the opponent from both front and back.
This effect is naturally not comparable to the original twenty versus fifty situation.
If nothing else happens, after this battle, the two sides will be at least evenly matched in terms of numbers. Maybe the caravan can still gain an advantage!
But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
The light of the torch kept flashing in the center of the battle between the two sides, and occasionally a torch fell to the ground, which also proved that its holder had fallen.
The sound of fighting actually only lasted for a short time. In such a confrontation between cavalry, life and death only lasted for a short time.
But what makes Hu Jinqiu incredible is that the most tragic death was not the place where the vanguard of the bandits and the first ten guards fought, but the place where the ten guards who originally stayed in the caravan were chasing after them. battlefield!
The result of the battle was a one-sided massacre!
Hu Jinqiu, who originally planned to catch the opponent off guard, could fit two eggs into his mouth.
Ten guards died inexplicably, and it felt like they were swallowed up by the light of the opponent's torch.
The results at the front were much better than at the back, but they were still facing three times the number of enemies, not to mention that the opponent was charging. The ten guards had just started to speed up their horses, so naturally they were rushed to pieces by the opponent, and finally broke up. Kill.
There seemed to be no change in the result. Hu Jinqiu's face turned pale and a little desperate.
