Chapter 2255 Ambush

After walking for three or four days, they entered the desert from the Gobi grassland. Master Zhiren said: "I heard from the people in the village that after entering the desert, they only need to walk north for three to five days to reach Gaochang."

Everyone became energetic after hearing this and couldn't help but speed up.

After the lunch break, everyone drank water and then started to move forward staggeringly. Man Bao was taking a nap in the carriage. Because she was sleepy in the afternoon, her head was pounding little by little. Suddenly, the alarm bell of Keke sounded, and Man Bao was frightened.

, raised his head for a moment.

Zhou Liru, who was napping sitting opposite, was startled, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Manbao tilted his head, listening to Keke's emotionless broadcast: "Unknown forces were found within the scanning range, and are judged to have a negative impact on the host's life and safety. Please take shelter immediately after receiving the warning. Please take shelter after receiving the warning."

Emergency evacuation.”

Manbao woke up instantly. She asked Keke with a sullen face in her mind, "What force is it?"

Keke said word by word: "Unclear..."

"Is it a human or a wolf or something else..."

"The people," Keke simply went into more detail, "are located twenty kilometers southwest of the host. Now that we have narrowed the distance, it is only nineteen kilometers away. There are a total of one hundred and eighty-nine people..."

Keke paused and scanned two familiar creatures, then said: "One of them is the person the host met in the desert inn, and the other is the person he met while suppressing bandits. According to the name recorded in the video, the latter one

Called Ergo.”

Man Bao immediately opened the curtain and shouted outside: "There is an enemy attack! Nie Canjun——"

Nie Shenjun was startled, and the team was immediately on alert. Nie Shenjun controlled the horse and ran past. As a result, he arrived in front of him. He went to explore the road in advance and waited for a fast horse to come back. When he got there, he rolled off his horse and reported loudly:

"Sir, there is a team coming towards us thirty miles away to the southwest. It is very fast and there is no military flag."

Nie Canjun turned to look at Zhou Man, and when he saw her nodding, he knew they were talking about the same thing.

He frowned. If there was no military flag, then they were not in the military camp. In a place like this, they could only be caravans and horse thieves, but they were obviously not caravans at such a fast speed.

He glanced at the surrounding environment, immediately selected a place, pointed at one place and said: "Everyone speed up, move towards the takeout, hurry!"

The carriage speeded up instantly. The soldiers and guards guarded the carriage and quickly headed in the direction pointed by Nie Canjun. This was a recess with high sand dunes. They were not in the recess, but on the backbone of the recess.

The high sand dunes on that side facing the south will block the impact of the cavalry. No one dares to ride down from the top. If someone comes down from the top, the horses and people will easily fall.

So they can only come from one direction...

Nie Canjun ordered: "Lu Lao'er, take your men to ambush with horse slings, and be sure to stop the horses in front."

"yes!"

One man ordered his own soldier, took the tripping rope, and ran towards the place where he got it.

"Zhang San and Wu Si, take your bows and arrows and ambush them with both wings."

"yes!"

Nie Canjun then looked at Zhou Man and the others who had gotten off the carriage and got on their precious horses. He twitched the corner of his mouth and ordered: "Everyone, keep the carriage behind."

"yes."

Everyone changed their formation. Most of the soldiers stood in the front, and the carriage was led to the back. It was closely protected by the guards of the Bai family and the Yin family, and a small number of soldiers were divided on both sides.

Nie Canjun ordered them to protect the food and water. As for the luggage containing gold, silver and jewelry, he took one look at Bai Shanhou and asked them to give it up. This was what was agreed at the beginning. If he was really unlucky enough to encounter a horse thief, these luggage would not be taken care of.

The most important thing is to protect water, which is their life.

After the arrangements were made, he said to Zhou Man and the others standing behind him: "Master Zhou, why don't you go back to the car?"

Man Bao refused, "We want to ride horses, and we can escape quickly on horseback."

"Then you go to the back, it's too dangerous here."

This was no problem, Manbao and the others were still very obedient, so they turned around and rode back."

The heads of the carriages behind them were all facing north, but they were on guard toward the southwest. Nie Canjun's order was that if they couldn't resist, the driver would take the carriage to the northeast. It didn't matter if they went a little off the road.

If you walk northwest again when the time comes, you can always walk back to Gaochang.

After the arrangements were made, the scout rushed back again to report, "Sir, they are coming!"

Nie Canjun and everyone else looked up at the top of the high sand dune. Sure enough, people appeared on it after a while. Those who had just climbed up the sand dune did not expect that they would stop. The leader raised his eyebrows high and then

It roared, and the people and horses who came up all shouted "Oooh", holding long knives in their hands and galloping towards them along the backbone of the sand dune...

"Uuuuu, Erlangs, come on -"

There was a strange light shining in the eyes of the three leaders. The horse thieves cheered to each other, and everyone's arrogance was high. The soldiers and horses in the convoy were uneasy for a moment. The horses stepped on the spot a few times, but Nie Canjun stood firmly in place.

Everyone slowly became quiet.

Man Baoxin also raised his head high, tightened the reins, and finally reached out to touch Chi Ji's neck to comfort him.

The soldiers hiding under the sand, with only half of their heads and eyes exposed, saw the horses galloping down, and couldn't help but tighten the ropes in their hands. Suddenly, they heard Nie Canjun shout loudly, and without thinking, they immediately violently pulled the ropes in their hands.

The rope was tightened. When the horses rushing down saw the rope suddenly raised from the sand, some stepped over it directly, while others wanted to rein in their horses, but the ones who wanted to rein in the horses tripped the people behind them and also stopped.

If it is not done in time, the horse's leg will trip on the rope, the horse will stumble, and the person on the horse will fly forward...

The soldiers holding the rope only felt a strong pull that made them rush forward. They knew that the horse had been caught, and they didn't hesitate. They turned around and rolled down the sandy slope. They got up and ran towards the team...

The horse thieves killed more than twenty horses at once. The people who were lagging behind realized what they were doing and started to chase them. Nie Canjun drew out his long sword and shouted: "Let go -"

While moving the tip of the knife forward, he shouted: "My sons, this is the time to make great achievements, charge--"

The soldiers shouted and followed Nie Canjun to face the horse thieves who were rushing down. The archers who were ambushing on both sides also lifted up from the sand and divided into three teams to shoot arrows at the horse thieves...

It was the first time for Heavy Rain and others to see such a battle between soldiers and thieves. It was completely different from the fight between horse thieves and horse thieves, or the fight between horse thieves and caravan guards.

Not to mention the blood, but the casualties vary greatly.
