"Quick, quick, be on guard immediately, there is a cavalry attack." Chen Xunping shouted loudly.

Liu Heng and Li Shuheng beside him were shocked.

"Do you know who he is?" Liu Heng asked hurriedly.

"It's too dark to see clearly. We can only see a lot of torches coming in our direction. Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, the number of horses will not be less than forty or fifty." Chen Xunping said what he observed and guessed.

some situations.

Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. The cavalry team of forty or fifty was not that big. As long as he was careful and dealt with it properly, he could not overwhelm his grain transport team with only dozens of cavalry and dozens of people, and he did not know that the other party was an enemy.

It's a friend.

In order to ensure the safety of the grain truck, he still planned for the worst case scenario and told Yang Yuan next to him: "Notify everyone to be alert. The grain truck immediately formed a circle, leaving a small team of refugee recruits to guard the livestock.

, and then send a small team to light a few fires somewhere between fifteen and thirty steps around our grain truck, and the rest of the team will retreat behind the grain truck to be on guard."

Yang Yuan turned and left without saying a word.

Liu Hengying looked around the surrounding environment with his eyes, and saw a low slope on the left that was not too high, with a few small trees sparsely growing on it.

There are many small slopes like this nearby, just on both sides of the road. One or two will appear every few miles. During the day, you can see them all at a glance, but at night, there are a hundred or two hundred people hiding in places a little further away.

Hard to find.

Liu Heng looked at Li Shuheng and said: "Brother Shuheng, please take the people from the archer battalion to the back of the slope on the left. As long as the cavalry team attacks the grain team and gets within the range of the archers, you can shoot them. Don't have any scruples.

Even if you accidentally injure one of your own people behind the grain truck, it will be fine."

"Where are you here?" Li Shuheng said, "The other party brought so many torches. I guess the cavalry came with the infantry. Without archers to help you, you are at a disadvantage."

"Then leave me twenty archers." Liu Heng said: "The main thing is Brother Shu Heng. As long as you can support me in time, even if the enemy's cavalry surrounds me, they won't be able to break through me for a while.

here."

"Okay, I asked Xunping to stay with twenty archers, and I will take the others to the slope on the left." Li Shuheng knew that the matter was urgent, and except for the twenty archers who stayed, he took the rest of the archer camp away.

Food team.

Li Shuheng led most of the archers and retreated to the back of the slope through the darkness. The carts carrying grain barely formed a circle, and the animals were all sent inside to be cared for. Fires were lit in several directions outside the grain carts, and they were beating.

The flames illuminated the surrounding area brightly.

After doing all this, everyone returned to the back of the grain truck and hid their bodies with the help of the grain truck and the grain bags on it.

Just after they had done all this, the swaying firelight in front became clearer and clearer, the sound of horse hooves could also be clearly heard, and many figures could even be seen swaying with the help of the firelight.

"Damn it, there are more than fifty cavalry and no less than two hundred foot soldiers. I think these people look like the cavalry commanded by Ma Yunjiu." Chen Xunping looked through the gap between the grain carts and observed the people approaching them from outside.

Cavalry and infantry.

Dozens of tall horses walked at the front of the team, with knights sitting on the horses, followed by hundreds of foot soldiers. It was precisely because of the drag of these foot soldiers that the horse team failed to appear in front of the grain team in time, giving Liu

Give them time to prepare.

"Huh..." When he was about a hundred steps away from the grain team, Ma Yunjiu pulled the reins, and the others also stopped.

Zheng Daqiu trotted over from the infantry team and came to Ma Yunjiu's horse.

Ma Yunjiu pointed to the grain team a hundred steps away and said, "It should be Liu Heng and the Archer Battalion team ahead. I didn't expect that they really got a lot of food."

Zheng Daqiu looked in the direction pointed by Ma Yunjiu's fingers and saw bulging grain bags filled with carts, and there was more than one such cart.

"This guy is really lucky to get so much food at once." Zheng Daqiu cursed in a low voice.

At the same time, he was secretly happy.

If the bet between him and Liu Heng was still there, he would have missed out on the position of leader of the rear camp. Fortunately, Wu Xiazi and others failed to seize the position of the leader of the rogue army, and they were all wiped out by Shi Yunhu. Now Shi Yunhu is powerful and can unite the five bandits of the army.

Among the four camps in the camp, who wants to become the leader of the rear camp can only be decided by Shi Dakei. As for the bet, it has become bullshit.

Ma Yunjiu suddenly frowned and said: "It seems that the other party has been prepared for it. Zheng Daqiu, Shi Dashi asked you to do this, what can you do?"

Zheng Daqiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief Ma. This time I brought Ma Lao Lai, the cook from the rear camp, and asked him to go in front to explore the way for us, while my people followed and took the opportunity to rush in. As long as there is chaos inside,

The horse leader can then lead his men to rush over and kill Liu Heng and several people from the Archer Camp in one go, and at the same time, he can bring back so much food for Shi Dashi."

Ma Yunjiu thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I'll do as you wish, but the food on those carts must be safe, and we must not let them jump over the wall and destroy the food."

"Don't worry, Chief Horse, just wait here for my good news." After saying that, Zheng Daqiu ran towards the infantry team at a trot.

Not long after, Ma Lao, who was in the infantry team, limped out of the team.

There were several bandits with him.

Some people were carrying burdens, and some were pushing jars of wine in wheelbarrows.

There was a fire lighting up the area twenty or thirty steps outside the circle formed by the grain team's carts. As soon as Ma Lailai and the others appeared, they were discovered by Liu Heng and the others who were hiding behind the cart.

"Isn't this Ma Lao Lai from the back camp? Why is he here?" Yang Yuan looked at Ma Lao Lai limping over with a puzzled expression.

Liu Heng rubbed his chin and said: "In short... it may not be a good thing."

"How about I let the archers shoot them?" Chen Xunping said, "As long as they are close to the fire, they will be a living target. I guarantee one shot at a time."

"No need for now." Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "I want to see what they want to do?"

At this time, Ma Laolai and the others had already reached a place about thirty steps away from the cart, when they heard Ma Laolai shout: "Is Liu Tou there? I am Ma Laolai, don't do anything, let us go, I

I brought food to everyone."

"Bah! When did his Ma Lao Lai have such a good relationship with us that he traveled more than ten miles to deliver food to us?" Yang Yuan spat heavily on the ground.

Liu Heng ordered the people on the side: "Let them come over."

Yang Yuan looked at Liu Heng in confusion and said: "Boss, you are not confused, are you? This old lame Ma obviously has no good intentions. How can he bring so many people to deliver food? I think they are here to fight with us."

.”

"Don't worry." Chen Xunping patted Yang Yuan's shoulder and said, "With so many of us here, just a few of them can't make trouble."

Liu Heng said: "Tell Ma Lao Lai to let them come over."

Yang Yuan had no choice but to stick to the gap between the cart and shout: "Lao Ma, Liu Tou wants you to come over, but don't play any tricks."

"Sure, sure, we're just giving you some food." Ma Lailai waved in the direction behind him and limped towards the cart.

Wherever he passed, several fires were extinguished quietly.

After a while, Ma Lao Lai came to the cart. Yang Yuan asked someone to make way for an aisle to let Ma Lao Lai and others in.

Ma Lailai paused for a moment when he came to the cart. Seeing Yang Yuan's half-smiling expression behind the cart, he gritted his teeth and walked in.

Several people behind him carried things into the circle surrounded by carts.

Whoosh!
Chapter completed!
