Turbulent Times Chapter 69: Horse thief

Wang Junlin got on the black horse while the twenty Su family guards were stunned, and rode steadily on it without using saddle or rein. Whether it was the dark horse with a bad temper, or the other nine younger brothers of the dark horse, they did not attack Wang Junlin in any way.

At this moment, the people in the Su family team understood that this beggar-like horse borrower was obviously not simple.

The lady in the carriage and the servant girl also witnessed the scene just now through the window, covering their mouths in disbelief, they saw with their own eyes that the black horse kicked and wounded a guard before.

“Miss, I see. The little beast in his arms must be a legendary beast that frightened these silly horses.” The servant girl said smartly.

Miss rolled her eyes at the servant girl, did not speak, frowned her pretty eyebrows, secretly looked at Wang Junlin, at first she had a glimmer of expectation, but then shook her head with a self-deprecating expression.

Just like that, Wang Junlin was still holding the female gazelle with one hand, holding the little lynx in his arms, riding on the black horse, and followed the Su family motorcade to Shazhou City. During the period, Miss Su’s family in the carriage felt that the speed was too fast several times, and the carriage bumped, causing the convoy to slow down. The leader of the guards frowned every time before agreeing.

However, after walking for more than an hour, when passing through a valley, suddenly the hooves sounded like thunder, echoing in the valley.

The leader of the Su family’s guards is a middle-aged man, he reacted quickly, and immediately shouted: “It may be a horse thief, protect the young lady!”

The twenty knights reacted quickly, and their riding skills were also very good. They quickly formed a circle around the carriage of the young lady. Naturally, Wang Junlin was left alone, and stood alone with ten wild horses. Seeing this, Wang Junlin simply retreated to one side and climbed a small hill.

Then, Wang Junlin saw a group of about a hundred cavalry rushing in from the entrance of the opposite valley, and charged them.

The leader of the guards sat on the horse, took off his hard bow, and put a feathered arrow up, with an extremely dignified expression, he shouted: “Everyone be careful, this is the horse thief ‘Wolf of the Mountain’ from the Western Regions!”

The sound fell, the strings rang, the head of the guards shot the feathered arrow from the bow, and the horse thief who rushed to the front had an arrow in his heart and fell off the horse.

After the head of the guard led an arrow, the second arrow was shot almost end to end. This arrow shot at another horse thief’s horse, and the arrow accurately shot into the left eye of the horse. With a groan, he fell to the ground, and this was not over yet, the third arrow and the fourth arrow of the leader of the guard flew out again.

Lianzhujian is an archery technique that can only be mastered by the legendary archer. I didn’t expect this guard leader to have this ability. Even Wang Junlin was a little surprised.

This guard leader can shoot four arrows in a row, and the four arrows shoot down two people and two horses. The feathered arrows of the other nineteen guards also shot over, but they are not as accurate as the guard leader. nine people. The horse thieves coming from behind were blocked by the corpses of the man and horse in front, tripping many people in succession and stirring up a cloud of dust. Under the scolding of the leader of the horse thief, the horse thief behind hurriedly steered his horse to avoid it, and circled around from both sides.

As a result, the momentum of the charge suddenly stagnated, and Wang Junlin had to admit that the guard leader was experienced and quick to respond. What Wang Junlin didn’t know was that this person originally had a thousand cavalry under his command in Shazhou City generals.

But the power displayed by this group of horse thieves was equally ferocious. More than a dozen people died, and none of them showed any expression of fear.

On the hillside more than 30 steps away from the convoy, Wang Junlin looked at the horse thief rolling in, and praised: “The horse thief is so powerful! This wolf in the mountain is really not simple.”

At this time, after paying more than 20 casualties, the horse thief finally rushed to the front and began to fight with 20 guards.

Wang Junlin led ten wild horses to the nearby hillside. It was obviously difficult for the horse thieves to rush up. In addition, their main target was Miss Su, and he didn’t stop them, so the horse thieves ignored him.

The biggest difference between horse bandits and the army is discipline and orders. No matter how strong their individual combat effectiveness is, fighting in groups in front of the obviously well-trained twenty guards will have to be discounted a lot. Even if the horse thief is attacking, he has no rules.

In addition, it has to be said that the twenty guards of the Su family are all good players, at least a single one is much stronger than the horse thief. Therefore, although the twenty guards were gradually at a disadvantage, they were not overwhelmed immediately.

Wang Junlin suddenly discovered a problem. Apart from ten wild horses, this convoy only carried a cart of tents, food and other accompanying supplies, and there was no valuable goods at all. For me, women are also very important, but it is not necessary to work so hard for two women!

Obviously, this is not a normal robbery by horse thieves, but came specifically for Miss Su’s family. Behind this, there may be several major forces in Shazhou City fighting openly and secretly.

From Gaochang City to Shazhou, there is a distance of more than a thousand miles. There are almost no human settlements on the road. All you see are similar Yibi, similar deserts, and similar plants. After a long time, people will feel tired from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren’t for the strong-willed people, there wouldn’t be enough people to walk with them, and they would even doubt whether they could get out of this world. All people subconsciously want to meet people on the road, and then it is best to go with them.

But on such a desolate ancient road, there is also a type of people that people are least willing to meet. This type of people is more terrifying than the desolate world and ferocious beasts, because they are horse thieves.

The horse thief should be regarded as the most resilient creature in the Gobi Desert. It is stronger than the vitality of the poplar tree and the camel thorn, especially the small group of horse thieves. Good hiding places, no one can discover all their secret lairs, no one can follow their tracks.

They traverse the desert grassland with the sole purpose of plundering, plundering everything, horses, livestock, weapons, property, strong men, women. Fat meat, of course, has to be eaten.

But in fact, many horse thieves have secret connections with the local rich and tribal forces. It must be powerful enough, otherwise it is possible to be bitten by these wolf-like guys at any time. After having such a connection, these powerful and tribal figures need to do some shameful things and they will hire horse thieves to do it . There are even some horse thieves themselves dressed up by people from this tribe or the Hao family.

Wang Junlin felt that the hundred or so horse thieves in front of him were obviously in this situation. They were sent or hired by a certain powerful force in Shazhou City.

Wars are always cruel, half of the twenty guards are dead, there are more than sixty horse thieves, and the remaining ten guards are all wounded, defeat is only a matter of time.

Wang Junlin suddenly started to move. He rode a **** horse and rushed down from the mountain. He had no weapons and was unarmed. His clothes were ragged and his hair was messy. No matter how he looked, he looked like a beggar. The horse thief rushed over from the side.

As soon as Wang Junlin moved, he was noticed by the horse thief, and the leader of the horse thief did not take it lightly. With a yell, the two horse thieves rushed towards Wang Junlin. When they were thirty steps away, they opened their bows and set up arrows, and shot at Wang Junlin. , One shot at his chest, and the other at the black horse in his crotch.

Wang Junlin didn’t have a weapon in his hand, he could only dodge, but he was able to dodge the arrows, even if the black horse got hit by the arrows, it was game over. It has to be said that these two horse thieves have very poisonous eyes, and they discovered Wang Junlin’s shortcomings in the first time, and took the most correct attack.

The two horse thieves had already expected Wang Junlin’s fate. After the arrows were shot, they put away their bows and drew their sabers.

At the same time as the two arrows were shot, Wang Junlin captured the trajectories of the two arrows, and it was extremely clear.

I saw Wang Junlin suddenly turned from the horse to the right side, leaned forward, the arrow that was shot at his chest brushed his arm and shot into the air, and the arrow that was shot at the black horse was shot by Wang Junlin Grab it in your hand.

The two horse thieves were taken aback. They never thought that someone could catch their arrows empty-handed. Zhong Zhan Dao slashed at Wang Junlin.

Riding the **** horse, Wang Junlin suddenly lay flat on his back, and narrowly missed the two knives that were slashing at his head and shoulders. The horse thieves and guards who were fighting more than 20 steps away didn’t see what was going on, so Wang Junlin rushed between the two horse thieves, and continued to rush towards the sixty or so horse thieves, to be precise, to the horse thieves. The leader rushed away.

But the two horse thieves behind him had screamed and fell from the horse. One of the horse thieves had an arrow stuck in his chest. This was the arrow he shot at the **** horse before, but now it was stuck in his chest. The other horse thief was directly hit by Wang Junlin’s elbow on the waist and vitals, and fell to the ground. Although he didn’t die, his whole body was paralyzed, no different from death.

It’s a long story, but these things were actually completed in an instant. By the time the other horse thieves reacted, Wang Junlin had already rushed in front of the horse thieves who were fighting with the guards.
