Arriving at Qiyan Tribe
The sound spread, and the few of them were quickly awakened. Zhang Quan said," What's wrong with Taoist priest?”
Li Zhichang said," These horse bandits are still targeting you. I'm rushing as fast as I can. After selling the goods, I'll take a detour on my way back."
When Zhang Quan heard this, he immediately shouted," Get up, get up! We must hurry!"
They had already slept for five to six hours, and it was almost time to get up. Everyone was very unwilling, but when they saw the two corpses on the ground, they had nothing to say. They immediately got up and hurried.
The next day, the horse bandits didn't receive any news, so they suspected that there was something wrong with the caravan.
One of the leaders said," Gather 200 people for me. We'll go and try first. They're high-level warriors. If we can't beat them, can't we run?”
"Yes, leader!"
The 200-man bandit team quickly gathered and began to pursue.
Li Zhichang's caravan was caught up after traveling for about forty miles.
" Not good, the horse bandits are here. I estimate that there are more than a hundred of them." Li Zhichang heard the commotion from afar. Zhang Quan immediately surrounded them.
Everyone looked at Li Zhichang expectantly, treating him as the core of the team.
Li Zhichang was under immense pressure. This was a bloody battle. If he didn't do well, he would also have to get involved.
"My hidden weapons can only be effective within ten feet. If it exceeds ten feet, it won't be accurate and won't kill people.
If the other party charges over, you guys cover me first. It's easier for me to kill them than you guys..."
Li Zhichang said,
Zhang Quan immediately arranged for ten good men to protect Li Zhichang. At this time, the horse bandits were getting closer and closer.
Each of them shouted strange words and rushed to the caravan.
Li Zhichang could only shoot six hidden weapons at most, and three at most with one hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The heads of the six arrows shot out, and the six people on the heads instantly fell to the ground and died.
Then, another six pills took away another six people.
After shooting thirty people to death, the leader of the horse bandits felt a little heartache for the ones who were usually the best at fighting.
Relying on the advantage of the crowd, they rushed up and started fighting with the caravans. The people who came this time had also been to the grasslands before and knew the rules of the grasslands. If they were defeated by the horse bandits, they would not be captured. They would only die.
There was a saying that went,'Fight to the death to survive.' This was exactly what it meant. Some of them had seen blood in the Central Plains, and their combat strength was not weak. Although their horsemanship was not very good, this position was surrounded by caravans and goods.
No matter how good the other party's horsemanship was, he could not take any advantage of it. In fact, he did not even move.
At this moment, more than a dozen people rushed towards Li Zhichang. Li Zhichang immediately shot arrows."Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." More than a dozen people were instantly killed.
At this time, Li Zhichang began to support other places. In a short while, more than 80 people had died.
The leader of the horse bandits also rushed over. Looking at the 20 or so Han corpses on the ground and the 80 or so corpses of his own people, he was a little afraid.
"Retreat, retreat!" In Mongolian, the horse bandits were also afraid and immediately ran for their lives.
While they were retreating, another wave of arrows shot through the necks of fifteen people, killing them on the spot.
Seeing the horse bandits leave, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They counted on the ground and found that a total of 24 people had died. There were still 30 people with injuries. This casualty was a little high.
"Everyone, rest for two hours and bury the bodies of these brothers. Then, we will immediately hurry."
Li Zhichang said. If not for Li Zhichang, everyone would have died here. More than 80 of the 100 horse bandits who died this time were killed by him alone.
Therefore, his words were more effective than Zhang Quan's.
Four hours later, the group set off again. At this time, there were more horses. There were more than a hundred horses. They were prepared to go to a small tribe to sell these horses and weapons that seemed to be more valuable than their goods.
These two hundred horse bandits were the largest force of horse bandits recently. This time, they had completely fallen. They probably had to give up some of their territory.
On the way, three of the caravan members who were injured by the horse bandits died. In this era, the wounds were too big. Even if they didn't die for the time being, they might not die in the future. The other two were also very dangerous.
That battle had shocked a certain number of horse bandits. Two hundred horse bandits could dominate a region of the grasslands.
Some tribes with a thousand men were not very strong. Even if they did, they were not as strong as the horse bandits who were on the verge of death every day.
Losing a battle and fleeing in a sorry state, the other horse bandits immediately stopped their thoughts and stopped following this caravan.
After another day and night of traveling, they didn't see any more scouts from the horse bandits. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the horse bandits had been beaten up.
Coincidentally, there was a small tribe in this area. Someone from the tribe saw Li Zhichang and his group and immediately sent someone over to negotiate.
Hearing that there were horses and weapons here, the tribesman immediately prepared to trade.
The grasslands were lacking in resources. If you went to rob the merchants, the grasslands would probably have to drink the northwest wind.
They didn't think that the grassland was just for eating meat. There wasn't that much meat. They had to bring in some food, clothes, and cloth. They only wore sheepskin in winter. In summer, the temperature of the grassland was even higher.
If they didn't buy fabric, they would probably be naked.
There was also salt and ironware, which were urgently needed by the grasslands.
The grasslands were not peaceful at the moment, and they urgently needed iron, especially ready-made weapons.
The leader of this tribe had bought all the weapons that he had used to kill the 130 bandits on the road. The transaction was conducted in gold.
Even in this era, gold was still a hard currency. It was widely acknowledged by all countries.
As for the horses, they only picked fifty horses. They didn't like the rest.
As 30 people had died on his side and two had died in the later stages, it was inconvenient to bring too many goods. He could only sell a portion of the salt and cloth to the tribe and then leave with the rest.
They headed straight for the Qiyan Tribe. In fact, the two Mongolian guides in the team were from the Qiyan Tribe.
The leader of Qiyan Tribe was Tiemuzhen. He had yet to start his own struggle for hegemony, so in order to obtain the things he needed to replenish his territory, he sent people to the Central Plains to ask merchants to come and trade. That was why this caravan was formed.
Ten days later, they finally arrived at the Tiemuzhen tribe, the Qiyan tribe. At present, there were less than one hundred thousand people in the Qiyan tribe. After Guo Jing turned sixteen, Tiemuzhen married the son of his sworn brother. His sworn brother joined Wanyan Honglie and surrounded and killed Tiemuzhen on the road.
Fortunately, Guo Jing went to report. Tie Muzhen was alerted and hid in the woods. Guo Jing kidnapped the son of Tie Muzhen's sworn brother and held on until reinforcements arrived.
