When I was on the road, I found that the supplies exchanged were five times the cost, which deliberately lowered the price. The caravan rushed to several tribes alone, but hired a few people from the tribe that had just left to lead the way.

With a guide, I walked a lot less and smoothly reached two tribes. The negotiations through local areas were much more convenient than their negotiations.

In a few days, the scouts checked the situation clearly. The first tribe of the three tribes was slightly larger, while the remaining two tribes were slightly smaller.

Even so, the goods, grain, salt and tea brought by Li De became popular, and the cattle, sheep and horses they exchanged were almost beyond the carrying range of the convoy. After all, they only had 500 people.

The guards' mission is not really coming to do business. They are trying to protect Li De, and the animals earned by trade have to be watched.

It is their purpose to find out the details. If there is an easy solution to things, you will not be able to move your fists, because things will not end well after you move your fists, and the result will be extreme and it will not be able to ease for a period of time.

The transaction went smoothly, and the income on the way back of the caravan had been counted. It would definitely be a big addition if these animals were brought back to the War City.

The cost is a few trucks of grain and a few bags of fine salt.

"Grandmaster, the scout found that several people were following our convoy sneakily and sent people over to find nothing." Shi Huaiyi said.

"It seems that there are people who want to find money everywhere, be careful especially at night." Li Dedao.

The way for the vanguard to defend at night is to use several huge fires to divide them into three layers inside and outside to illuminate the surroundings, one to prevent wild beasts from approaching, and the other to prevent enemies.

On bright nights, there will be no enemy so stupid that you will attack like this.

The vanguards' convoys are very experienced. They carry a lot of dry firewood on their carriages. Don't ask why, they don't use materials locally. In fact, except for dead branches and leaves, the branches of fresh branches cannot be burned.

Just add firewood to it and it will cause black smoke, so they may not necessarily encounter dead branches and leaves on the way they pass. Therefore, it is necessary to keep these dry firewood and can be used at night.

One thing is actually not good to expose their position in this way. Many things have pros and cons.

Several fires were lit at the place where the vanguard stopped.

Several people who followed during the day did not catch up after the vanguard scout discovered it. At this time, someone appeared in a secret place about 600 meters in the convoy and was secretly peeking.

The person who came to observe for a long time before leaving. He quietly moved back and saw that the person was very experienced in this kind of thing, and stayed away from where he hid his horse and made it easier to catch the horse.

Not long after, we arrived at the back of a valley. At this time, there was a built-up cavalry here, with about 3,000 people.

"It was confirmed that the caravan was stationed in front, and all five hundred people were surrounded by the carriage. A bonfire was set up outside. It took more than a dozen breaths to charge suddenly." The scout said.

The person who heard the news was the commander of this cavalry, and the three thousand cavalry under him belonged to the powerful brigade of the Tiel Tribe.

Where these people usually appear are between tribes. As long as they are not from their own tribes, they will rob them. The three tribes are their fat sheep.

Their behavior is the horse bandits, and they treat people who are not surprised by their tribes. Many people dare not speak out. Every time the families of the three tribes have some savings, they will be robbed by these people.

The fundamental reason is that there are their spies between the three tribes. They have been paid attention since Li De's convoy entered the first tribe, and some spies spread the news to the cavalry generals.

The reason why the caravan has not taken action is because the more animals the caravan exchanges, the more it will affect the convoy's itinerary and give the Tiel Cavalry a task to rush on the road.

When the convoy came to the third tribe to trade, the Tiel cavalry had arrived, but they would not rashly launch an attack just because they had a large number of people.

Once the floor is intimate in the tribe, they will be exposed and will have an impact on their future interests. After the convoy leaves, theirs slowly followed.

They can save trouble when they go away and do things at night.

Why don’t they choose to take action during the day? Three thousand cavalrymen are not in numbers against 500 people, and aren’t the light field in broad daylight better?

Only experienced people will not do this. Although the Tiel Cavalry is engaged in the activities of horse bandits, they are still strong brigades. The methods they can lead troops to fight are all their experiences. Although they have a lot of bad record, they attach great importance to the lives of their tribesmen.

Their soldiers are not too many in the whole north, and their living environment does not allow them to have that large population, let alone train a qualified soldier.

The accidental attack at night was unexpected, and the opportunity for combat was the most favorable, and the smallest face was always the least. What they wanted was goods and money. As for the people who were escorting the convoy, they lacked the population, but they did not have the habit of sheltering slaves.

Due to the environment, they don’t need so much work, they don’t have so much production work, and there is basically nothing else to do except hunt and rob.

"Set out!" The commander of the thousand-man gave the order in a deep voice, without any expression on his face. He obviously regarded the convoy as the delicious food of fat sheep in his hands and mouth.

The Tiel cavalry is very different from the Turkic cavalry. Although the Turkic cavalry looks brave and good at fighting, their weapons and equipment are indeed very average. However, the Tiel cavalry is different from the Tiel cavalry. Although they are well-armed and have few soldiers, they are all soldiers of war.

The horse team was discovered when the first bonfire was charged. Although the vanguards had experience in night battles, it was obvious that the Tiel cavalry was also rich, and the bonfires around were directly spread out by their people with iron chains.

Soon, more than half of the bonfires were extinguished. Seeing that the Tiel cavalry did not rush to attack, they led the team to run away after extinguishing the bonfire.

Then the horse team was scattered into several small teams in the distance. In the darkness, the horse team's voice was very dispersed and could not tell which direction it came from.

The fright from the surrounding darkness. In this case, if it is a businessman, ordinary people will definitely be nervous and afraid, which is a tactic of Tiel cavalry to scare people.

It's very teasing.

The distance between the second bonfire was not too far. Just when the horse team was in a mess, several scattered horse teams suddenly appeared and spread out the second bonfire with iron chains, spread out, and then disappeared.

They were waiting for the second bonfire to go out.

Li De was also surprised to see this situation. They did not have such tactics in the face of the Turks. They all relied on their bravery and good at fighting. Not only did Xiao Yong have a brain in the situation of these enemies.

Looking at the second bonfire scattered, it was clear that the other party wanted to make the convoy lose its light, become blind, and then attack.
