Boom!!

The dull sound was like the thunder god above the nine heavens opening his mouth and spitting out a long river of thunder and lightning. Countless thunderbolts made a deafening roar as they poured down.

Including me, the four people who were sleeping with their eyes closed in the tent all opened their eyes.

With a "tsk" sound, Wushuang opened his sleeping bag and stuck out his head. He rubbed his groggy eyes. Due to insufficient sleep, there were still red bloodshot eyes at the corners. He looked around blankly: "What's going on?"

I also got out of the sleeping bag, looking equally confused.

Strange to say, there was a deafening sound of thunder suddenly heard in my sleep. Now that I woke up and sat up, the sound had disappeared. After waking up a little, I lay down again.

Rumble!

The voice came again.

"Don't listen, it's the sound of horse hooves."

Zhang Yao's magnetic voice came from the side: "And they are war horses. A large number of cavalry are coming this way!"

"This...can you still tell if it's a war horse?"

Wushuang felt a little incredible.

"Can!"

Zhang Yao nodded, got out of the sleeping bag, and said expressionlessly: "War horses and ordinary horses run differently. Ordinary horses bump up and down when running, and it will be painful to ride on them, but war horses run like

It sways from side to side, like a cradle, and warriors can even take a nap on it. The white slaves who came from the west in those days traveled long distances, traveling day and night, like a group of monsters who did not need to sleep. In fact, they were taking a nap on the horse.

rest.

The way the horse runs determines the sound of the horse's hooves.

If it is an ordinary horse, the sound of the horse's hooves will be crisp and impactful.

But if it is a war horse, the sound of the horse's hooves will be relatively soft when running.

The opponent is still some distance away from here, and is still on its way, so it's not time to launch a charge yet."

A large number of cavalry...

It’s a Cypriot!!

I swallowed hard: "How many people are there on the other side?"

"No less than two thousand!"

"..."

two thousand……

Two thousand people?!

Damn it, one spit from each of us would drown us!

I said in disbelief: "Didn't Zhuang Li and the others say before that the most the other party dispatched was only a few hundred people? Where did the two thousand people come from? Where did the two thousand people come from! This is impossible, aren't you?

I heard it wrong."

Yao Yao didn't speak, just looked at me quietly.

Then I stopped burning.

Because I remembered that she was once a commander-in-chief.

When it comes to ancient wars, who knows more about them than she does?!

She said 2,000 people, so it basically stayed within this range.

Two thousand cavalry...

Grandpa God!

Zhuang Li's intelligence was completely wrong. This was a very large Cypriot force, with two thousand cavalry capable of fighting, and the entire tribe probably numbered tens of thousands.

At this time, there was a noise outside.

Obviously, my master and others also heard the news.

By the time I picked up my things and went outside, everyone had already gathered.

Although I had a light sleep, I still could not usher in the long-lost light in this world. The sky was only dim and bright. Although the poplar forest was not as invisible as before, my vision was still blurry.

Shi Lei had a gloomy face and said directly: "The Sai people are coming! A lot of people have come. Although I don't know how many there are specifically, but... there are many more than when we first came because the sound of horse hooves is much louder than before.

!!”

This is not new news to Wushuang and I, but to others, it is no less than an earthquake.

Most probably no one would have expected that Zhuang Li and the others had just mentioned this group of Cypriots with mysterious origins a few hours ago, and they did not expect to bump into them so soon.

"There were hundreds of people before, but now there are even more. What's going on? You can't have any fun!"

Lao Bai scratched his head and said, "How about... let's run!"

"Are you an idiot? How can a person with two legs outrun a person with four legs?

Don’t forget, when you run out of this forest, you’ll see endless grassland outside. People can see you from miles away, and you won’t have anywhere to hide, you’ll be a living target!”

Li Jianglong glared at Lao Bai, remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I would say, rather than rushing out to be a living target, it would be better to stay here!

This Populus euphratica forest has dense vegetation, the density of Populus euphratica is extremely high, and the grass is also tall, which is not conducive to horses galloping, and there are enough trees. They are all bunkers. We can still deal with them here!"

After saying this, she added: "Besides, it's hard to say whether the other party came to see us or not.

Didn't Shi Lei say last night that the other party had been patrolling nearby for a while, and he didn't know what he was exploring, but he probably didn't find them.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the other party is not coming for us, so it is better to hide..."

"There is no need to give a high probability, the other party is coming for us!"

Ma Yao, who had been listening on the ground, interrupted Li Jianglong and stood up from the ground: "Because... the opponent has already started to charge!

The direction is this way!”

Li Jianglong suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Rumble!

At this time, there was a roar in the distance, and you didn't have to be close to the ground to hear it.

The roar was weak at first, but became stronger in the blink of an eye, which showed that the opponent was advancing rapidly.

"How is this possible..."

Li Jianglong couldn't believe it and said nonchalantly: "Didn't we find people hiding in the Populus euphratica forest before? Why did they come right after us as soon as we arrived..."

"Gunshot!

The gunshots last night!”

Shi Lei said solemnly: "We had a fight last night. The sound of gunfire spread far away. The sound of gunfire must have alerted the rangers nearby. So before dawn, they came with a large force..."

I no longer cared about listening to them, so I ran out of the woods.

On the lush green grassland, every blade of grass was green. After one night, clear water droplets hung on the leaves. The water vapor evaporated from these water droplets filled the grassland and Populus euphratica forest with a thin mist.

I ran all the way, my pants legs were already wet and covered with fine grass clippings. I ran to the edge of the Populus euphratica forest in one breath and looked up in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.

Boom!!

The sound of horse hooves became louder.

This time I also heard some clues, and the sound of horse hooves became more sonorous and powerful than before.

This was probably the movement of the war horses when they charged, and this was how Yao Yao judged the opponent's intentions.

After a while, I felt numbness on the soles of my feet, and the ground seemed to tremble as if it had been trampled by war horses.

On the boundless grassland, in the thin white mist, a black figure riding a horse appeared. He entered my field of vision first, but this was just the beginning. Then more and more black figures appeared on the distant horizon.

Lining up in a row, behind him, more and more black shadows appeared...
