Chapter 725: Behind the scenes of the horse thief

Chapter 250 The fourth horse thief's mastermind
Ba Chiman easily pulled the two horse thieves who were climbing the wall before barely falling back to the ground.He knew that this Confucian golden body should have the magical power of a Confucian master!
If you want to come to the statement of the 72 disciples of Confucian saints, there is something credible!It can leave a "rule circle" in a bronze statue, and when the true essence of the same source in later generations is poured into it, it can be activated.It seems that this golden body is not only the facade of those great factions in the Central Plains, but also a great magic weapon!
It's just that whether there is a weapon spirit in this golden body, I'm afraid only the person who uses it can know.

Linley looked at Ba Chiman who had fled in despair, and his heart was finally relieved.It is also the first time for him to use this bronze statue, after all, it has been staying in Xiaoyuan Academy before that.In the past five years, Linley had heard too many legends about the 72 sages, but he hadn't really seen them until today.

It makes sense when you think about it. Xiaoyuan Academy, as the number one academy in the world, is where Confucian orthodoxy lies. Although it is not as good as Luo Yunzong in terms of status, no one dares to provoke it.Coupled with the fact that Chen Chuantuo, a long-established strongman of the older generation, is in charge, it is indeed difficult to encounter the situation where 72 golden bodies are shot.

A group of horse thieves saw their boss come back from the city wall in a state of embarrassment, and a golden light appeared on the city wall, so naturally they didn't dare to approach again.As for the horse thieves on the city wall who rushed up to fight, although most of them are not warriors with inner strength and true energy, they are naturally not affected much. However, the horse thieves below dare not continue to climb the city, and they can't resist if they are only left on the city wall how long.

……

Dalamut looked depressedly at the demon-breaking crossbow arrows that kept shooting down from above. He had resisted a few arrows before, and the internal injuries left behind had not healed quickly, so he didn't dare to show his head now.

After fighting for more than half an hour, they didn't even touch the edge of the city wall.If it weren't for the surrounding sandstorms blocking their vision, and the horse thieves themselves being brave and fearless, they might have been repelled long ago.

"Little ones, withdraw first!" Dalamute gave the order to withdraw the troops with some reluctance, and soon the trumpet from the "Shahe Long Horn" came from behind.

The land of the Western Regions is not as particular as the Central Plains people. They don't understand the rules of "beating drums to march" and "singing gold to withdraw troops".In the Western Regions, especially for horse thieves who often fight in sandstorms, this "Sand River Horn" is much more practical.

Not only does the sound have strong penetrating power and will not be affected by sandstorms, but also the structure of each long horn is different, so the timbre and sound quality are naturally very different, and few people can pretend to imitate them.

"Third master, why withdraw troops? Give us another cup of tea, and we'll go up!" A group of horse thieves looked at Dalamut with red eyes, obviously they had been red-eyed just now!
However, the third leader naturally knew that it would not be easy to fight on the city walls. Leaving aside the city guards who guarded the city, the combat power of the group of Qijia Commercial Bank was quite impressive.Although the number of horse thieves is not as large as his 300-man team, in terms of strength, the two are really on par.

In addition, there are city walls to protect and the main force of the city guards!Dalamut wants to take down the South City Gate with this kind of people, which can basically be said to be a dream.Of course, if Ba Chiman brought his [-] main force to fight with him, there might be some hope, but the hope was not great.

"I can understand what you said! It's just that you look back and see how many of our brothers are left? If we really want to take down this city wall, I can't even say that I can survive. Among you, who would dare Do you think you can really survive?" Dalamute looked at the few subordinates in front of him who seemed to have been beaten with blood, and asked mercilessly.

Hearing what their third family said, they turned their heads and glanced. As the saying goes, you don't know if you don't see it, and they were really shocked when they saw it.

At this time, there were less than 200 horse thieves present, and all of them were injured.You must know that they had 300 people when they came. Even if they fought with Qi Chengcheng for a while and killed 70 or [-] people, there should be [-] people.It can be seen that the siege battle during this period has caused nearly a hundred casualties to the horse thieves.

Feeling the seriousness of the atmosphere and the freezing point of morale, Dalamut did not continue to attack them.At the same time, he raised his eyes and saw a golden light shining in the distance.

He knew that Loulan City must have come up with some truly powerful means, otherwise this phenomenon would not have appeared.

"Everyone, stop thinking about it, and follow me to meet the head of the family first!" Dalamute reined in the yellow puma under his crotch, turned the horse's head, and went north of the city.

Seeing this, the horse thieves couldn't help but look at each other, and then urged the horses under their crotches to follow in the footsteps of their own third master.

……

Seeing that the horse thief finally retreated, the city guards on the south gate wall let out deafening shouts!Seeing this, Qi Chengcheng couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.The trade of Loulan City is developed, but the military strength is not strong. Although the city lord Xiao Yuanfeng is a hero of a generation, and his own cultivation is also extremely terrifying, otherwise it would be impossible to start from scratch and build such a large family business.

However, the quality of the Loulan city guards is not flattering, and it may be related to the massacre a few years ago.A blood sacrifice formation was arranged in the city, and then some people from the Demon Cult caused riots in the city, throwing the entire Loulan City into chaos.

Those Chengwei Lords who rushed to the front to defend their homes became the first batch of targets to be attacked by the people. The bravest died in battle, and the most desperate also died in battle.Those who survived were those who were not so brave and desperate.

Later, when Xiao Yuanfeng reorganized the Loulan Kingdom, he naturally promoted the backbone of the army who had experienced this catastrophe, as the saying goes: a raging soldier, a raging nest!
This may also be the most fundamental reason for the decline in the strength of the Loulan City Guards.

"Where is the guard?" Qi Chengcheng asked in a low voice.

A man in refined iron armor immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Young Deputy Commander of the City Guard, Wu Qi! I have met Qi Gongzi!"

Qi Chengcheng glanced at the other party, and didn't care about the respectful attitude of the other party. His Qi's business firm had a good reputation in the Western Regions over the years, and the other party's respect for him was more for Qi's family business.

"This group of horse thieves has lost a lot, we should send someone to chase them down!"

Hearing this suggestion, the city guard changed his expression and said in a low voice: "Young Master Qi, since the enemy has already retreated, further pursuit will only increase casualties. Second, although the horse bandits failed in the siege battle, they have to fight in the desert. We are indeed not opponents. Third,..."

Qi Chengcheng interrupted the other party's long speech with a wave of his hand, and said impatiently: "The third, the third, I know the third. I know, don't chase after the poor!"

Seeing this, the general of the city guard immediately nodded his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes, the poor do not chase after you, the poor do not chase after you!"

"I know these tactics of war, and I also see that the enemy generals must also know some tactics of war." He said a little about the direction of Dalamut's retreat. "My bet is that he thinks that I dare not send troops to pursue him, and dare not fight him in the desert!"

…………Dividing line…………

Xiao Yuanfeng came down from the Drum Tower, looked at the "Golden Confucian Body" and Lin Fenghuo and others in front of him, he had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "You two young heroes, I thank you for this!"

Seeing this, Lin Fenghuo quickly said, "City Master Xiao doesn't need to do this. Before we set off, the master had a clear order that the two of us should help you maintain the stability of Loulan City."

Linley also slowly withdrew his inner energy and said in a low voice, "The dean told us that this trip is not only an experience for the two of us, but also the first step for Xiaoyuan Academy to inherit Confucianism in the Western Regions. "

Hearing the two people's reply, Xiao Yuanfeng raised his eyes and glanced at the bronze statue in front of him. He himself did not expect that this Confucian bronze statue was so miraculous.Although his cultivation base is not bad, he has already reached the level of the great master of chivalry, and he has reached the peak of the lower level of martial arts.

But from the beginning to the end, he didn't make a direct move. It's not that he didn't dare to fight Ba Chiman.No matter how powerful the opponent's magic skills are, there is still a huge gap between a chivalrous person entering a house and a chivalrous person reaching a great accomplishment state.

And what made Xiao Yuanfeng really unwilling to make a move was the horse thief's mastermind behind the scenes!

He sent out investigation teams several times before, but disappeared without reason one after another.Until the Loulan executives figured out a way to let these spies report three times a day, no matter what they found, they would be in detail.

It wasn't until this moment that they discovered that once these spies aimed their investigation at the Devil's Cult, they would be wiped out in a short time, and they would lose contact completely.

So Xiao Yuanfeng has been waiting for this black hand behind the scenes to appear.

……

Bachiman headed eastward with a large army of horse thieves with less than 500 people left. The previous siege battle was indeed too dramatic. When he finally evacuated in a hurry, there were more than 50 horse thieves on the city wall alone. Did not withdraw in time.

The bald man's eyes were very dark. He actually made sufficient preparations for this operation, but in the end it still fell short.The reason is not that he underestimated the enemy of Loulan City, but that he did not expect other forces to intervene in this matter.

"Confucianism? Huh! If it was in the Central Plains, I would have nothing to say, but this is the Western Regions! How dare you go against us? Do you think a broken bronze statue can really eat us?" Ba Chiman murmured to himself.

Just as he was thinking about it alone, the entourage at the side suddenly reminded him: "Master, someone is following up!"

Hearing this, Bachiman was startled at first, but immediately released his soul-searching, and found that this group of people was none other than the branch led by Dalamut.

Ba Chiman was both happy and worried about himself as the number one officer under his command.Dalamut's magic power was obtained by chance, and I have to say that this kid's luck is really great. I have been among horse thieves for so many years before I got on the line of the Devil's Cult.It is impossible not to be jealous that the other party has received the inheritance from a Demon Cult master at a young age.

Fortunately, although this kid has a gloomy personality, he is very capable of handling things. Ba Chiman himself can rest assured that many things are entrusted to him.Moreover, many brothers among the horse thieves are also very convinced of the third leader, so his attitude towards Dalamut is very complicated.

Knowing that it was his own people, Bachiman naturally slowed down his marching speed. At this time, the horse bandits suffered heavy losses, and it was much safer to move after the rendezvous.Soon, Dalamut got out of the wind and sand on that yellow puma, followed by nearly two hundred horse thieves.

"Anda!"

Dalamut got off his horse, trotted two steps and knelt down on one knee beside Ba Chiman's horse.

"You and I are both Anda, why is this! Get up and talk!" The bald man frowned slightly, and instead of getting off his horse to help him, he pointed at Dalamut with his whip.

Ba Chiman has already noticed that something is wrong. The horse thief team brought by the other party is injured and disabled, and the number is far less than 300!
Seeing this, Dalamute sighed inwardly, and continued without getting up, "I led my brothers to feign an attack in the south of the city. It was okay at first, and I restrained the two young people who came from it."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and seeing the face of the boss changed, he knew that his boss had also met these two people.

"Why, suddenly a team came out and came straight from the back!"

Hearing this, Ba Chiman frowned even tighter.

"A team? Was it arranged by Loulan City in advance?" He asked in disbelief, because in the mind of the bald man, these city guards in Loulan City were completely shrunken turtles, and they only dared to rely on the topography of the city wall. If you fight against them, if you put them in the wild, you won't dare to confront him at all.

"No, it's not them! It's Qijia Firm!" Dalamut whispered with a serious expression.

Hearing this reply, Ba Chiman froze on the spot. As a well-known Malaysian thief in the Western Regions, he had naturally heard of the name "Qijia Commercial Firm".There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that this firm has the support of the "Jihad Hall" behind it!This is also the main reason why they can win so many trade routes.

The countries of the Western Regions are a federal force with multiple regimes.As the ruler of the Western Regions, Jihad Hall has the right to speak and make decisions in the Western Regions that the other seven super sects did not have.

If standing behind Loulan City is not those Central Plains aristocratic families or sects, but the Jihad Hall, it is better not to go through this muddy water by yourself!

"Okay, I get it! If they join us, we will have to think long-term about today's defeat!" After that, Ba Chiman didn't say anything more, and didn't even continue to play the drama of "harmony between monarch and minister", but directly transferred The horse headed east.

Horse thieves are not afraid of sandstorms, not because they like to march or fight in sandstorms, but because they know how to deal with sandstorms better.For example, now that they came to the leeward side of a huge rock, the leader of the horse thief immediately announced that they would camp and rest.

The sandstorms in the Western Regions did not blow for a day or two, and it usually took ten and a half months to stop.Of course, in special circumstances, it may take longer.

There are less than 700 people gathered here. Compared with the more than 1000 people before the war, they are indeed a little bit injured at this time.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Ba Chiman, Dalamut and several veteran horse thieves were sitting together, discussing their next plan.

"The first one, we have to go back to Black Castle, the second one is still in their hands." A black-faced horse thief said in a low voice.

The rest of the people looked at each other one after another, but no one made any other comments.

Ba Chiman nodded, looked at Dalamut who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Anda, tell me, how will we tell that senior when we meet him?"

(Revised, you can watch!)
