    "It doesn't look like a caravan. It doesn't look like fleeing." The general couldn't help but frowned. The gatekeepers had already moved bundles of arrows and stones onto the wall, and a few others were giving some points.  Turn on the stove and prepare to boil water.  At this time, the strange team stopped, and several knights slowly walked towards this side.  "Stop it first, you don't look like horse thieves!" The leader stopped his men. He carefully retreated behind the female wall and said to Jiang Datou: "You have a loud voice. Where are you from? What are you doing? Where are you going?  "Here!" Jiang Datou responded, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Where are you from? Where are you going?" The knights stopped and talked to each other.  A man rode a horse and arrived about a stone's throw away. He shouted loudly: "We are merchants from the south, doing business. I would like to ask, how to get to Yujia Village?" "Yujia Village? Business people? Liars.  Damn it!" The leader sneered after hearing this: "There are horse thieves everywhere, and they all use knives to do business with you!" "Then ignore them?" Jiang Datou asked.  "Tell them!" The leader sneered: "Don't stop those who are going to die. They asked for it anyway!" "Yeah!" Jiang Datou clicked his tongue, turned around and shouted to the knight outside: "The Yu family  The village, right? Go west along the river, about forty miles away, and it's right next to a hill covered with Populus euphratica trees! " "Thank you very much!" The knight bowed his hand.  He felt it in his arms and threw the sling twice over his head, only to hear a sound.  But something hit the ground.  Jiang Datou picked it up and wiped the dust. He saw that it was a silver ingot, weighing about two or three taels. When he looked back, he saw the knight shouting towards him: "Thank you, brother. I'll give you the silver ingot."  You can buy a drink!" "Get out of the way and take back all your claws!" Jiang Datou opened the hands he extended, put the money into his arms, and looked back at Qiying, who was leaving.  He secretly sighed: "Bodhisattva bless kindhearted people. Don't meet those wolf cubs!" "General, walk along the river and go west for forty miles and you will be there!" Liu Sheng returned to the convoy and said to Zhou Ping.  Hearing this, people's faces showed joy. The smell of eating dry food and sleeping on the meadow along the way was indeed unpleasant.  The group of people who followed Zhou Ping earlier were better.  Those who only joined the army in Zhending Mansion are much worse.  Most of them were farmers before. This was the first time for many of them to go out of state and county. They heard that they were about to reach their destination.  There was a burst of cheers.  "Hmph! A bunch of mud-legged people!" The one who sneered was the man who was tied to the shaft of the cart. The man was wearing a short leather robe and one leg was tied with a dry willow branch as a splint. However, his leg was broken by a dead horse that day.  The Liao army was far away.  It turned out that this guy was not killed after he was captured by Niu Gaosheng that day. Instead, he had his leg injury treated by a casual doctor and brought him all the way here.  Zhou Ping planned to learn more about the cavalry's tactics at that time from him.  "Then walk ten miles first, rest for a night, and try to reach Yujiazhaizi tomorrow!" Zhou Ping ordered.  Everyone cheered, turned around and walked towards the west.  "Brother Yue!" Niu Gao was wearing a leather coat, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand, and said to Yue Fei beside him: "Where is Zhou Ping taking us this week! Isn't Yanjing in the north? How to go west?  Ah? Why do I feel more and more desolate as we go?" "Silence!" Yue Fei Leng shouted, looking at Xue Liangyu's back in front of him, he lowered his voice and said, "Whispers are forbidden in the army, don't you know?  "I'm afraid of him. I'm not afraid of those few blows of the spine stick!" Niu Gao said he was not afraid, but his voice was quite low. He looked at Xue Liangyu in front of him and his attention was not there.  On his side, he leaned his head towards Yue Fei: "Brother Pengju, I heard that the general named Zhou is your old acquaintance. Why doesn't he give you an official position? You don't miss the old friendship.  " "Don't talk nonsense, Niu Gao, what do you know!" Yue Fei snorted coldly: "Brother Juncheng, this is how you do big things. I'm a newbie here, and you're promoted before I've made any achievements. What will other people think?  ? Besides, you have made a contribution, aren't you rewarded? " "Yes, General Zhou is not a stingy person!" Hearing this, Niu Gao grinned and patted his bulging pocket.  : "It's a pity that it's not in Zhending Mansion, otherwise with these dozen coppers, I would definitely invite Brother Yue to have a good time in Waseli!" At this moment, a whistle suddenly came from the front of the motorcade, followed by another whistle.  It sounded like a response.  Yue Fei's face changed drastically: "Tanqi met someone!" Almost at the same time, the first cart issued an order: "Stop, pass on, stop!" With the "stop" sounds, the convoy gradually stopped.  Then, under the command of each car leader, the entire convoy formed a semi-oblate car array with its back against the river. People and livestock were all in the car array.inside.  "There are horse thieves, horse thieves!" Liu Sheng, who was responsible for leading the way and sentry, rolled down from his horse panting. The look on his face was in sharp contrast to the complacent look he had just before the village.  , beads of sweat rolled down his forehead in strings.  "How many troops are there?" Zhou Ping asked anxiously.  "I don't know, at least there are more than a thousand!" Liu Sheng's face turned pale: "How could there be such a large number of horse thieves? How could it be this season!"  Don¡¯t go down¡ª¡± Zhou Ping said this, sighed, and said: ¡°Go down, put on your armor, and fire all the divine arms and bows. You are not allowed to fire an arrow without my order.¡± Zhou Ping¡¯s order was quickly passed down.  At this time, the role of the more than forty veterans was reflected. Driven by their sword backs and leather shoes, although they were a little panicked, everyone was in their positions. The spearman holding a spear was at the front.  Behind them are the short-sighted men holding peace axes and sabers, and at the end are the divine-arm archers, while the coachmen are responsible for carrying arrows and stringing them.  "Bang!" With a sound, a hole appeared in the wall of the carriage behind Zhou Ping. Before he could realize what was going on, Liu Sheng threw him to the ground.  "What's wrong?" "It's a sling. The horse thieves are using that thing to hit us!" Liu Sheng turned around and shouted to the remaining people: "Everyone hides behind the carriage. Those who have helmets must wear them!" Car formation  The people at the back followed Liu Sheng's instructions and hid behind the carriage, and some simply lay down on the ground. However, from time to time, some people were hit by stones, made miserable screams, or simply passed out.  The stone bullets or lead bullets fired from this sling are so powerful that even if they are a hundred steps away, a soldier wearing iron armor will often suffer a bloody head injury.  Moreover, cobblestones are much cheaper than arrows. The only disadvantage is that this is a weapon that requires very high skill from the user. Few people can hit a person fifty meters away while riding on horseback, but it is used for  Coverage shots are still enough.  Zhou Ping struggled to raise his head from the grass and looked out from the gap between the wheels. He could see hundreds of horse thieves shooting with slings at a distance of about 150 meters from the convoy. About five meters to his right  A corpse was lying on the ground six meters away, with blood and brains splattered everywhere. The groans and screams of the injured could be heard from behind, like hell.  "Asshole, let go of me, you bastards!" A voice came from above Zhou Ping's head. He looked up and saw that it was the captured Yuanzhi. He was struggling to break free from the rope, but he couldn't get away with it.  The rope made of rawhide became tighter and tighter as he struggled, digging into his flesh, and even his face turned purple.  "Zhou Ping, you son of a bitch, let me go!" When the guy from the distance realized that Zhou Ping was looking at him, his voice became even louder. It's no wonder that he was hit by several stone bullets in a row.  The carriage had several holes even in the walls of the carriage.  Zhou Ping smiled, pulled out the short knife from his waist, stood up and quickly pulled the leather rope on his body twice. The far barrier quickly pulled away the leather rope, not caring about his injured leg, and threw himself on it.  There was a scream from the ground.  "How to deal with these horse thieves?" Zhou Ping asked while lying on the ground.  "Why should I help you? We are Khitans over there!" Yuan Lanzi's eyes widened angrily.  "The horse thieves came here and couldn't tell the difference between Khitan and Han people. They chopped them into pieces. If you don't believe it, just run out and shout with them to see if they recognize you?" Yuan Banzi opened his mouth, but he didn't.  After speaking, he replied in a low voice after a moment: "The horse thieves can't keep fighting like this. They will always come closer. You have a divine arm bow. Get closer and hit them hard!" "Yeah!  "Zhou Ping laughed: "It's exactly what I thought!" He climbed to the side twice and said to the little leader on the side: "Pass this on, you are not allowed to fire an arrow without my order!" After a while,  The stone-throwing attacks of the horse thieves gradually became sparse, and the convoy without any counterattack gradually made them hesitant. Although cobblestones are cheaper than arrows, they are not so easy to obtain on the grassland.  Zhou Ping noticed this, looked at Yue Fei who was not far away, and shouted: "Pengju, get on the roof of the car and say that we are willing to surrender!" Yue Fei immediately understood what Zhou Ping meant, and he quickly climbed onto the car.  He raised his head, waved his arms above his head and shouted: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, we are willing to surrender!" After Yue Fei shouted twice, the stone bullets of the horse thieves gradually stopped, and then came a  There was a burst of laughter. Although Zhou Ping could not understand the language of the horse thieves, it was not difficult to hear the arrogance and pride in their tone.  He smiled slightly, stood up and leaned against the wheel, making a gesture to everyone.  "Everyone"Get ready, give these thieves a good look later!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
