Chapter 118 Ranger and Horse Thief
In the wilderness, fifty or sixty miles away from the fire city, several caravans traveling with each other surrounded all the camels. The caravan's guards looked at the horse thieves who were cruising not far away with their bows and arrows, their faces full of despair.
Who would have thought that they had only three days away from Yuanqu City and met a large number of horse thieves here. They had no chance to escape. They could only use camels as a defensive wall to resist the horse thieves, and at the same time tried to discuss with these horse thieves that they bought a peaceful price.
Apart from the vast wilderness where smoke and dust were rising, three groups of clearly distinguished rangers stood on horseback on the hills and slopes in the distance, twenty or thirty steps apart from each other. Only their leaders came down from the horse and walked together to look at how the caravan that was in desperate situation wanted to bargain with the Geluo barbarians in vain.
"These barbarians are getting more and more courageous. Now they dare to come here to compete for business with us!"
"They have always been very brave, not to mention that they suffered a white disaster on the grassland last year. Naturally, they are going to grab enough."
"Even if we join forces, we may not be the opponent of this group of barbarians. There are too many of them."
Looking from the rocks protruding on the hills, the three leaders estimated that there were no less than four or five hundred Geluo barbarians surrounding the caravan. Moreover, these barbarians were very patient, but they just surrounded and did not attack. From time to time, some people circled up and shot several rounds of arrows. Although the guards of the caravan were also licking blood on the head of the knife, they were already scared. It won't take long to go, and they will collapse without fighting.
"Then are we going to see Mr. Shen empty-handed?"
Huang Hu looked at the other two old acquaintances and said in a muffled voice that these three bands of rangers have always made a living in Yanqi Town. Sometimes they are guards of those caravans, and sometimes they do business without funds. Sometimes they join forces with each other, and sometimes they are hostile to each other.
However, over the years, although there have been conflicts among the three, they can still be called helping each other. Who made those damn barbarians the most horse thieves and robbers in Anxi?
"Now, of course, I can't go to see Mr. Shen empty-handed. If you are afraid, then leave first!"
Among the three, Du Er, the one-eyed dragon with the most irritable temper, said coldly that he was originally from the Anxi Army, but he became a bandit because he violated the military law and led the way to help the goater to make a living. He was the most direct in character, and most of the goaters under his command were reckless.
"Who is afraid of who is a pig or a dog?"
The remaining Wang Zhene replied, most of his face was covered by the red birthmark, and he looked like an evil ghost, and he was the most cruel one among the three.
Shen Guang had met with their subordinates in Pei Da's brigade, and invited them to drink iced porridge and asked them to bring their messages. The three of them knew Shen Guang's name and naturally couldn't sit still.
To put it nicely, a gang of rangers like them is a sword-ridden hero, and the world is home, but to put it bluntly, they are just homeless wild dogs, and they are not much better than those horse thieves and robbers.
Who is Shen Guang? The confidant of Gao Xianzhi's Great Protector, he is a great master who is praised by everyone in Yancheng, and he is also a person who has made a big splash in the recent Yanqi Town quelling chaos. He first climbed the city to fight to the death, killed the generals and seized the flag, and was a big figure that these rangers need to look up to.
Now, this Shen Langjun said that he wanted to make friends with the green forest heroes like them, Huang Hu, Du Er and Wang Zhene, who naturally felt that there was a glory on his face. He would go to Huoshao City to pay homage to this Shen Langjun no matter what.
What's more, the three of them also wanted to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and be able to compete with this Shen Langjun. Isn't it much better than they are doing such a baseless career?
So three people gathered together and wanted to prepare a generous gift for Chen Guang before going to the fire city, but who would have thought that the prey they were targeting was called by this group of Geluo's barbarians who suddenly appeared to be cut off halfway.
The three groups of rangers also had more than 200 people, and the number was far less than that of the Geluo barbarians. Even if they were brave, the disadvantages in numbers could not be easily eased. Especially although they were wearing armor, most of them were leather armor, and only twenty pairs of iron armor were enough to reach the end.
"Du Er, how do you say you're going to fight? Let's listen to you."
Huang Hu spoke. Among the three of them, Du Er was a soldier in the Anxi Army for five years. When it comes to fighting alone, they are not afraid of Du Er, but they are still quite afraid of him if they really want to get together.
"How to fight? This group of barbarians are very thieves. If they siege the caravan on a large scale, as long as those guards can stand up for a while, we might be able to launch a raid."
Du Er looked at the two of them and his voice was cold. If they could have more than fifty-leaved iron armor, they wouldn't be able to rush to the team of those barbarians, but there were only less than twenty pairs of iron armor. Everyone was a ranger who was good at fighting alone. When they met these Geluo barbarians, they would rush over and rush over to death.
"Wait a little longer. If the camel walls of those caravans are lost, we may have a chance while these barbarians are plundering wealth."
Listening to Du Er's words, Huang Hu and Wang [Shuquge www.shuquge.xyz] were silent, and they knew that Du Er was right.
"Seeing this, instead of snatching food from these barbarians, we might as well present these barbarians to Mr. Chen as a gift."
Seeing the camel wall in the distance open a gap and Hu Shang came out to talk to the Geluo barbarians, Huang Hu couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen is an official after all. If we really rob those caravans, wouldn't we be a thief? There is no reason for officials and thieves to make friends in this world."
Wang Zhene and Du Er both looked at Huang Hu and didn't say anything. Although the rangers under their command were not good people, everyone also believed that they were not evil thieves. Even if they occasionally robbed the caravan, they rarely took action.
"Why can we use these barbarians as a gift for meetings? We can't take these barbarians."
"We can't deal with these barbarians. Is it impossible for Mr. Chen to do anything to them?"
Huang Hu looked at the barbarian Gelu who was running around in the distance, his face was full of murderous aura, "We just need to follow these barbarians from afar and then send someone to pay homage to Chen Langjun. When Chen Langjun sends troops to destroy these barbarians together, Chen Langjun will naturally look up to us."
"Is it good for you to say this? We can't ruin the reputation of Mr. Chen, it's safer to do this."
Wang Zhenye said to himself. After he finished speaking, he looked at Du Er, who had never talked much, and said, "Du Er, what do you think?"
"Huang Hu is going to pay homage to the husband, and you and I will stare at this group of barbarians."
Du Er said coldly, among the three, Huang Hu is the most cunning and cunning, and his idea is pretty good, but how to convince the man Chen to believe them is that only Huang Hu has the ability.
Seeing that Du Er and Wang Zhene agreed with their ideas, Huang Hu immediately called his deputy from the Youxia'er and asked him to lead the team to follow Du Er and the others. He ordered a few brave subordinates and rode his horse to the fire city.
"Do you think that Mr. Chen will believe us?"
Seeing Huang Hu leaving, Wang Zhene couldn't help asking Du Er. He was really nervous. If the Shen Langjun thought they were playing with him, it would be a mistake.
"I don't know."
Hearing Du Er's answer, Wang Zhene felt that he might as well not ask. He had to look at the caravans in the distance who were trying to bargain with the barbarians of Geluo, with pity in his eyes.
Don't they understand that these stupid Hu Shangs can't understand that these barbarians of Geluo are not reasonable. If they fight to the death, these barbarians feel that they can't attack and may not be sure to agree to them to spend money to buy peace. However, now that they are so proactive, they are probably not far from death.
At this time, Du Er also glanced at the open camel wall coldly, and couldn't help but curse, "Silly trash, deserve to be damn!"
Sure enough, when the camel wall of the caravan opened, the merchants had not had time to offer the goods they planned to buy their lives, the Geluo barbarians immediately turned against each other, rode their horses and slashed their swords and killed them. The wailing sounds from the wind were shrill and desperate.
