Since Liang Shidu became the leader of the third tribe of Jinshan Palace six years ago, he has never suffered such a big loss. Thirty-four subordinates were killed and more than 20 people were killed and injured, which made him so angry that he was crazy.

He had robbed the caravans that went north countless times. As long as they appeared, the merchants of the caravans would not kneel on the ground and let them deal with them. They were even more docile than the flock of sheep. Today, these merchants dared to resist and even severely injured his subordinates. It was simply incredible.

Master Liang immediately realized that there must be special people among these merchants. He squinted his eyes and looked at the mysterious sand forest under the night sky. He remembered the young man who used the sword. He was cruel and agile like a cheetah. It was him who led a large group of merchants to repel the attacks of his subordinates, and at least a dozen people died at his hands. Who was this person?

"Commander, what should we do next?" a confidant asked in a low voice.

"what to do?"

Master Liang gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't kill them all, how can I get rid of the anger in my heart!"

Although Master Liang vowed to kill all the merchants, he could not bear the huge loss, and dozens of casualties were killed or injured. It was difficult for him to explain to Mr. Beijing that if the casualties increased, Mr. Beijing would never let him go. Thinking of Mr. Beijing's cruel means of punishing his subordinates, Master Liang was shuddered.

He walked a few steps behind his hands. The best way was to use the night cover to sneak attack the group of merchants. As long as his subordinates could enter more than a dozen people, and cooperate internally and externally, they could break through the opponent's defense line and massacre all the merchants.

Liang Shi was squatting on the ground and drew a topographic map on the sand with wooden sticks. He had found that the south entrance was relatively flat and the cavalry could go directly in. The key was to seize the south entrance, so they were sure to win.

After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand and called a few subordinates, whispered a few words to them. The subordinates clasped their fists and agreed, and immediately ran to the stone forest. Only by knowing themselves and the enemy could they win every battle. Master Liang must first understand the situation of his dealings. He must never underestimate the enemy and charge blindly.

Half an hour later, the subordinates who ran to investigate the situation came back and reported to him about the situation in the tomb, which surprised Master Liang. How could it be possible that there was no defense in the south entrance?

He immediately turned over and waved his hand and said, "Come with me!"

He led fifty cavalry slowly to the stone forest. Soon, the Liang Division brought a large group of cavalry to a stone forest about seventy steps away from the southern entrance. He waved his hand and everyone stopped the war horses.

Master Liang focused his mind and observed the south entrance. Under the bright moonlight, there was no obstacle at the entrance that was ten feet wide. The tomb was very quiet and there was no guard. Master Liang thought to himself, could the other party be sang an empty city plan with him?

He slowly sneered, and he wanted to try it out. What means could the other party stop his cavalry from attacking. He turned around and ordered several cavalrymen, "Get in!"

As soon as several cavalry urged the horses, the horses rushed out and ran in the narrow stone forest. The speed was not fast at first, but the closer they were to the entrance, the wider the road, and the faster the speed of several cavalry was, like a rushing lightning, and the sound of horse hooves was as loud as drum beats.

But just as the cavalry rushed into the south entrance, a tripping rope was raised on the ground, and the war horses neighed bitterly, and fell forward and rolled out heavily with the cavalry. The two war horses behind were not as strong as possible and were tripped one after another. Several black shadows flashed on both sides, stabbing the fallen cavalry with spears to death.

Master Liang could see clearly, and he snorted heavily. Just a few tripping ropes, could he stop his horse riding?

He shouted, "Go in and pay attention to the tripping horses on the ground!"

Dozens of cavalry were dispatched together, galloping forward in sequence like a long snake. For well-trained cavalry, the tripping rope is not terrible. As long as they can be discovered in advance, they can usually avoid it. If they already know that there is a tripping rope at the entrance, how could they still be fooled?

The cavalry in front ran faster and faster. Instantly, they rushed to the entrance. The tripping rope bounced up again, but the war horse jumped high, avoiding the tripping rope very sensitively, and rushed into the open space of the tomb. The second and third war horses were also done in the same way, and they all rushed into the tomb smoothly.

Master Liang was so excited that his fists and palms hit him. As long as fifty cavalry rushed in, they would wipe out the group of merchants tonight and exude the anger in their hearts.

The trip masso failed, and the cavalry rushed into the open space of the tomb one after another. The situation suddenly became tense. Zhang Xuan, who was standing on the high platform, looked at the cavalry rushing in coldly. He shouted, "Take it!"

I saw several long ropes pulling together on the top of the entrance. A stone pillar on the right that was hollowed out in advance began to shake and slowly tilted. The cavalry below were so scared that they turned away and fled, but the cavalry behind blocked the retreat. The stone pillar fell down with a shrill scream.

The stone pillars were smashed heavily, broken into several pieces, and dust flew. The three cavalry below could not dodge and were smashed to pieces. There was a sudden chaos at the southern entrance. The merchant hiding in the dark rushed out under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin.

"Splitting the head!"

Cheng Yaojin roared, swung his axe and chopped off the head of a cavalry. The other three cavalrymen who rushed into the open space of the tomb were surrounded and stabbed the three cavalry to death.

On the two walls, dozens of hidden archers all appeared, arching with bows and archers, and dense arrows shot at the chaotic horse thieves and cavalrymen in the middle. They screamed in tears, and riding horses were all caught in the arrows. Liang Shi was so anxious that he shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"

The horse thieves retreated one after another, leaving behind more than a dozen injured or shot dead companions, and retreated out of Shilin in a mess. Chai Shao led more than 20 people to rush out, and the chaotic blades were used to kill all the cavalry who were not killed by the arrow, peeled off their leather armor, and picked up all the weapons.

A beautiful counter-sneak attack, the horse thief lost twenty people again, but the caravan did not hurt one person, which greatly boosted the morale of the merchants, and everyone placed their last hope on Zhang Xuan.

But Zhang Xuan had no time to enjoy the support of the merchants. He directed the merchants to block all the entrances with huge rocks, and picked out fifty strong men from the merchants and friends, and asked them to put on the seized leather armor, hold spears in their hands and arrange them into a spear formation, and Cheng Yaojin trained them.

Zhang Xuan knew very well how serious the situation was. Once the sneak attack failed, the horse thieves would probably attack like during the day. They would inevitably come in from all directions. There were not many merchants who could fight, only more than 180 people. If a one-on-one situation was formed, they would be in danger.

Only by training into a formation as soon as possible can there be a glimmer of hope of self-protection. Zhang Xuan gathered everyone else together. He stood on the platform and shouted to them: "The horse thief has been killed by us for more than fifty people. They are not scary. What is scary is that we are timid. As long as we have the courage to fight them to the death, we can survive."

"For our wife, children and parents, we must live!"

With Zhang Xuan's inspiration, everyone's passion began to boil. They thought of their wives and children. In order to allow them to live in troubled times, they would not hesitate to do business. If they died at the hands of horse thieves, what should their wives and children do?

"Life!"

A businessman raised his arms and shouted, everyone was excited, raised his weapons and shouted, "Fight to the death, we must survive!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand to calm everyone down. He said to everyone: "The battle between life and death often depends on who is more ruthless and fiercer, but our strength in fighting alone is not as good as the other party. If we want to defeat the other party, there is only one way. A few people go together. I ask you to become companions, two, three, or four. As long as the other party flips in, you will rush up to kill the other party, and don't hesitate."

The merchants began to look for their companions to form a team. At this time, Chai Shao walked to Zhang Xuan and asked in a low voice: "Do you think this is useful?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I don't know, but I can only do my best. How much I can live depends on God's will."

Zhang Xuan patted his shoulder again, "You are with Uncle Li Er, try to protect him as much as possible."

Chai Shao looked back and saw that Li Shentong had only five men left. They could not leave their masters and could no longer provide assistance to Zhang Xuan. Chai Shao nodded and stood up and left quickly.

Zhang Xuan felt a wave of depression between his chest and abdomen. He restrained his physical discomfort and quickly walked towards fifty spearmen who were training.

.........

The sneak attack at night caused the dark horse thief to be severely injured again. Mr. Liang suffered a great humiliation that he had never experienced since his debut, making him difficult to get on the tiger and had to sacrifice his life. No matter what the price he paid, he would drive the other party to kill him.

Now the opponent has sealed several entrances with huge rocks, making his cavalry unable to rush in. They can only turn in and fight to the death with the opponent.

The Liang army only left more than twenty people to take care of the war horses, and the remaining 120 horse thieves all went out and surrounded the tomb open space from three directions.

In fact, Master Liang had thought of another way, which was to attack the livestock of merchants and disturb them to cause chaos, but the other party was obviously fully prepared and concentrated the livestock in the northeast. The terrain was the highest and the cliffs were everywhere, and it was impossible to climb over from outside. Moreover, all the livestock were blindfolded by cloth, and various goods surrounded them, making them unable to run around, and could only stay quietly in the corner.

But no matter which plan is planned, Master Liang could not try it one by one. He could only use the simplest and most effective method to let everyone go in and massacre. Although there will be certain losses, Master Liang no longer cares about it.

He carried a large iron spear and personally led his subordinates to walk step by step towards the central area of ​​Xuanshaling.

It was almost the fourth update, and in the open space of the tomb, everyone was sitting on the steps and waiting silently. They were not sleepy or despair. Zhang Xuan gave them hope, and everyone believed that as long as they fought to the death, they could survive.

"Here you come!"
