Chapter 771 The Hedgehog in the Wind
However, the way they came from behind was not their safe return. In a sheltered valley in the rear, they were originally the camp where they temporarily stationed, with their horses placed.
Horse thieves, horse thieves, who travel long distances, rely most on horses. These horses that are inseparable from them are their most loyal friends. Even in the wind and snow that are difficult to see, these horses that have been strictly selected and replaced can pass through many dangerous areas quickly and safely under the guidance of some horses, and can even maintain a certain speed on the snow-covered mountain paths.
Because they were too familiar with each other, these horses could even smell the owner's smell, and could even hear the owner's eager desire to escape from the owner's footsteps. However, when these horse thieves rushed towards the valley along the hillside, they immediately noticed the fatal danger from the sudden neighing sound of the horses.
The practitioners from the Jiange behind did not seem to have chased after them, so the steps of these horse thieves who fled here in a hurry slowed down with the transmission of this dangerous aura.
The most cutting-edge horse thieves could already see the traces of the war horses beating uneasy, but none of the companions who were staying in the camp appeared.
Before those war horses, some objects that seemed to be snow piles rose silently and turned into figures of half-squatting on their bodies. These figures became more and more in the pupils of the horse thieves, gradually covering the shadow of their war horses.
These horse thieves are not stupid. Seeing such a scene, they had already understood that the army that had been away from the pass for several days had avoided their eyes and silently sneaked back. They also took most of them to set up an ambush at the entrance of the gorge and directly attacked them to cut off their retreat.
"Without horses, we can't run far, we're too bullying! Fight with them!"
An angry roar rang among the horse thieves.
The roar of agitated came from a horse thief leader. Although all the horse thieves were afraid and felt that there was a lot of danger, they all felt that his words at this time were very reasonable. Because they lost their horses and their accompanying luggage, even if they could escape on their own feet tonight, could they still call horse thieves? In the future, they would just be rats crossing the street in the sun, and anyone could bully them.
However, the roar of the horse thief leader did not allow the horse thief to speed up their pace again, because in the next moment, his roar was already drowned out by a shrill sound of arrows.
A circle of dazzling Mars lit up in the wind and snow.
The leader of the horse thief was also a cultivator with great cultivation. The moment the arrow hit, a flying sword had already flew out of his sleeves. The sword light surrounded his body and quickly cut on the falling arrows.
However, in only one-minute breath, the sound of the sword cutting the arrow clusters turning into countless violent sounds of metal entering the flesh!
Puff puff puff puff puff...
Countless blood flowers gushed out from the horse thief leader at the same time, and his body suddenly became huge, because in just one-minute breath, his entire body was covered with arrows and turned into a huge hedgehog.
All the horse thieves looked at the scene in the wind and snow in disbelief. They opened their mouths, but were poured back into their mouths by the oncoming wind. They felt that their bodies were extremely cold, but they could not make any sound at all.
Except for dozens of arrows cut off or knocked away by the flying sword of the horse thief leader at the beginning, all the arrows flying from the night sky fell on the horse thief leader in an instant.
These horse thieves have also experienced battles with many elite border troops in the past many years, but even when facing the most elite archers of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, they have never seen such a scene.
At this time, the night was as bright as lead, and the wind and snow were as angry. If several archers could accurately lock the figure of this horse thief in the crowd, they would not be surprised at all. There might be several archers in any army. However, the attacks at this moment were probably dozens or even hundreds of such archers. How could this make them believe their eyes!
Since the Battle of Zhongli, the legend of Lin Yi and Jiange has begun to spread on the border here, but according to accurate information, Lin Yi's iron army is only a few thousand, and among the thousands of troops, there is such a terrible proportion of archers?
"We have given you a chance."
At this moment, with the body of the horse thief leader who was shot into a hedgehog, a joking voice came from the wind and snow ahead, "Since you dare to do it, you have to bear the price of doing something wrong. What does this have to do with us being too bullied? At most, you can only be considered unlucky."
Listening to such a voice, all these horse thieves felt bitter in their mouths, but most of them felt that what this person said was very reasonable and could not refute it at all.
The two people in the Jiange had reminded them not to take action before, but they thought the other party's words and deeds were ridiculous.
As for now, most of the most powerful practitioners among their group have died. I am afraid that if they really want to fight with each other, a few flying swords from Jiange will be able to easily kill most of them.
So I can only blame myself for being unlucky and actually hitting such a cross-jianglong.
All these horse thieves lowered their heads silently and fled to the surrounding wind and snow. Even though they heard their companions in front of them, they rolled down the hillside with a huge incline, making a clear sound of fractures. None of these horse thieves dared to look back.
Xiao Suxin looked at the figures of these horse thieves who were fleeing in a hurry on the verge of life and death, and his eyes were faintly unbearable.
Qi Zhuji, who was beside her, closed the collar, looked at her, and said sarcastically: "This is a good ending for them."
Xiao Suxin knew in her heart that what he said was right, because she knew very well that in order to hide her whereabouts, these horse thieves often killed all the robbery caravans without leaving a single living mouth. It was just that the unbearable feeling in her heart was not controlled by her.
"Anyone who becomes a horse thief is indeed unlucky," she said softly.
Qi Zhuji also felt that what she said was right. No one was born to like being a horse thief. If he had a choice, even if he was a horse thief, he would still be a horse thief in a warm place like spring, and he would not have to survive in such a bitter and cold place.
But even so, he could not sympathize with these people in his heart, because he was willing to exist in such a group of horse thieves. There was no difference between the so-called drunkenness and the persistence of life and death.
"You can't run too far."
He looked at the horse thieves who had almost disappeared from his sight and encouraged Zhenyuan and said, "As long as you can provide military information that is useful to our Tie Ce Army, or to provide military information that is useful to the Xiaba Alliance, no matter how large or small, I can return your horses to you."
Many people's bodies stopped like they were suddenly frozen in the wind and snow.
In this valley, all the Tie Ce soldiers had straightened their bodies and were silently waiting for the return of those people.
