"They're coming!"

"It's coming so fast!" Liu Bojin took the clairvoyance from Wang Peng's hand and looked in the northwest direction, not unexpectedly, the horse thief did slowly surround from the western grassland, the speed was not fast, and the net was spread to form a black line about a mile wide and pressed over, as if he was not worried that the other party would run away.

"They've stopped!"

Wang Peng had already stood on the wooden platform that had been built and looked into the distance, and he couldn't see it very clearly, but the vibration from under his feet vaguely felt that something was wrong.

A war horse galloped over, and when it came to the wooden platform, the guard on the horse jumped down from it with a beautiful whirlwind, landed firmly on the ground, and hugged his fists and said: "Big boss, more than 1,200 horse thieves have arrived within six miles, and they are now resting, please give an order to the big leader!" ”

"More than 1,200 people!"

Wang Peng and Liu Bojin glanced at each other and said, "There are not many horse thieves here!" ”

"Will it be divided?"

"Send out another scout horse, search closely within ten miles, and don't let go of the slightest trace!"

Wang Peng frowned and said: "There are only more than a thousand people, which is a very large group of horse thieves, and it seems that it is different from the legendary horse thief king, so prepare for battle!" ”

The legendary horse thief king, there are two or three thousand bandits under his command, wandering in the vast grassland west of Yanshan and north of Yinshan, until after the appearance of the horse thief king, the other horse thieves have basically disappeared, and the number of horse thieves left behind is not more than two or three hundred, such horse thieves are the most difficult to grasp their whereabouts, and the threat to some large caravans is not big.

"The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, and the wolves howl and the horse thieves are all idle. Ping's shadow is on the grassland, and the iron man is tender to send home. ”

"Good poetry!" Liu Bojin put down his clairvoyance and said: "The big leader is so elegant, and the horse thieves are flies and dogs, and everyone can punish them." It's just that the horse thief who came today doesn't seem to be the same as expected, will it expose our strength? ”

The two of them were thinking about what to do, when they saw a war horse galloping in the distance, stopping a hundred paces away and shouting: "Listen to the caravan ahead, give you a stick of incense, leave all your belongings and horses and leave, and a cloud will spare you from death!" ”

"A cloud? I seem to have heard this name before, doesn't it mean that a cloud is dead? ”

Liu Bojin stroked his chin and said in a deep voice: "If it was three years ago, when the caravan heard the name of a cloud, it would drop the goods and turn around and run. Debuted at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, and his reputation spread all over Yanshan for more than 20 years, his name can make babies stop crying, but I didn't expect to meet him just after he came out."

"Since it was three years ago, why did anyone say he died?"

"This is not clear, three years ago, a cloud led more than a thousand people to appear near the tooth tent of King Xi of Raole Du's mansion, and I heard that there was a transaction with the Xi people, and then I never heard the name of a cloud again!"

"Black eats black!" Wang Peng was surprised.

"Most of the goods stolen by horse thieves are spices, jade, agate and some things that cannot be eaten, and they need to exchange cattle and sheep with the surrounding tribes, or send people to send them into the pass, but the horse thieves sometimes have too much demand, so they can only trade directly with some larger tribes", Liu Bojin said with a smile: "This is not a secret in the grassland, but a cloud This person is too cruel, and his reputation in the Yanshan area is stinking home, and many tribes are unwilling to associate with this kind of person, and it is a matter of time before they are destroyed......

"Why is that cloud reappearing now?"

Liu Bojin also wanted to know this question, a cloud disappeared for so many years and appeared in Yanshan again, so it is a mystery that a cloud went there for so many years, as long as this mystery is solved, what happened in Yanshan will be solved.

"Grab a cloud and he'll tell us what's going on?"

Liu Bojin said with a smile: "The head of a cloud is worth five thousand, many people want to get it, I don't know how many people have returned over the years!" ”

"Then let's see if the fate of a cloud is big this time!" Wang Peng pointed to the horse thief a hundred paces away with his hand and said, "Kill this person, and a cloud will never die!" ”

As soon as the words fell, one of the guards pulled his bow and took an arrow to aim at the horse thief, and a sound of breaking the air sounded, and the horse thief on the opposite side waved a knife shadow, slashed the arrow to the ground, and shouted: "I don't know what to do!" Wait for death! After saying that, he turned the horse's head and wanted to leave, but suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air behind him again, and scolded shamelessly in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and as soon as he lay low on the horse's back, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and a feather arrow went straight into his shoulder blades, and the pain made the horse thief's body sink, and he almost fell off the horse.

"Hehe, little bunnies! Don't underestimate the horse thief", Wang Peng dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and said: "It is an unforgivable mistake to underestimate the opponent on the battlefield, and you must repay it with your own life, artillery and stone throwers are prepared, archers are arrowed, and the circular defense array is ......."

The three hundred guards were divided into three rows, the front, the middle and the rear, and the first row of guards immediately held a shield in one hand and stuck a spear in the ground with the other, and the tip of the spear stabbed forward at a thirty-degree angle. The two rows of guards behind him took out their bows and arrows, the bows were wound and the arrows were placed on the bowstrings, staring coldly ahead, as long as an order was given, the arrows would rise into the air to form a rain ......of arrows.

Five miles away from Wang Peng's team, more than 1,000 horse thieves were arranged in a messy line on the grass, and the crowd rang out from time to time with the sound of laughter and scolding, completely devoid of the tense atmosphere before the war, as if going out hunting.

In the middle of a majestic horse sat a man with a beard on his face, the vicissitudes of time left countless wrinkles on his face, and a scar from the root of his ear to the corner of his mouth looked particularly hideous.

When a cloud saw a horse thief with an arrow feather on his back appear in his sight from a distance, the coldness on his face made the horse thief around him feel a gust of wind, which was a precursor to the imminent outbreak of a cloud.

"Kill them all!"

A cloud turned his head to look at a tall and thin horse thief on the side and said, "Brother Gruha, lead your men to destroy our enemies, and you can take one percent of the caravan's goods?" ”

Gruha is a sharpshooter under a cloud, with more than 300 archers under him, who acts as a harassing striker of a cloud every robbery, using wolf tactics to use his riding and archery advantage to destroy the opponent's confidence, often beating the caravan without the will to fight, and finally leaving the goods and fleeing in all directions.

A caravan of six hundred people may not be seen once a year on the grassland, and as early as the time when this caravan left the customs, someone had already quickly informed a cloud, and if it were not for the large number of people in this caravan, a cloud would not have appeared here.

The bow and arrow in Gruha's hand raised to the sky and shouted: "Brothers, the opportunity to get rich has come, kill me with me!" ”
