Chapter 85 85. If you are slow to surrender, you will die

Outside Qingshi City, a convoy was slowly moving away from the city behind it.

There were hundreds of people armed with weapons in the caravan, and the oxen and horses pulling the carts were obviously top-quality animals.

Even without seeing what's inside the carriage, just looking at what's outside, it's a huge fortune.

In an era without mechanical power, large livestock such as cattle and horses were an extremely scarce labor force and wealth.

The convoy before us had dozens of these valuable animals pulling the carts, and the ruts left on the ground were even deeper, making people wonder what the heavy objects were being pulled by the carts.

In fact, before the convoy left Qingshi City, someone was already secretly watching.

Even earlier, when the Jiang family, a wealthy family in Qingshi City, needed to leave Qingshi City with their entire family, many people were already secretly following them.

The accumulation of several or even dozens of generations of wealthy families in Qingshi City is enough to arouse the covetousness of others.

Even such a convoy that seemed to be carrying huge wealth was only part of the Jiang family's property.

In one of the carriages in the convoy, Jiang Qian frowned at Jiang Ming and scolded him, "Jiang Ming, how can you be so sad? Have you forgotten what your father and teacher taught you to be calm?"

Jiang Ming, who was just old enough to study, was scolded by his sister, who was born of the same mother. He couldn't help but sigh, "Sister, the Jiang family has offended the chief clerk under Xiongzhou Mu. Do you think we can leave safely?"

Jiang Ming pointed outside the carriage and said, "Dad asked me and other families to leave Yuntangzhou separately, saying that as many people as possible should escape, but there are only so many people in our third family, and we don't have much property. More importantly, the things that my eldest brother brought are few and light, and of high value, and there are also hundreds of armored soldiers."

Jiang Ming very calmly pointed out one thing, something that no one in the Jiang family was willing to admit or accept.

"Those of us who left Yuntangzhou in different places are baits. If the person we offended really wants to kill us all, he will kill those of us who are slower and weaker first. As the next head of the family, my eldest brother will be able to live and develop in other states."

After saying this, Jiang Ming looked miserable again. He was only fifteen years old, unfamiliar with archery and horse riding, and he didn't have the strength to train on weekdays. However, he was smart enough to see the danger of this journey.

No wonder he was so nervous and uneasy.

Jiang Qian frowned slightly, looking unhappy, but finally sighed, "Brother, are you blaming dad for arranging us like this?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "No, I don't blame you. My eldest brother is the next head of the family. If the Jiang family's former connections want to recognize someone, besides the head of the family, it's my eldest brother. With those connections, the Jiang family may be able to start over somewhere else."

"We have a large number of soldiers guarding Big Brother, and that's also the reason. Although we have fewer people and carry more things, and we may even be suspected of sharing the pressure with Big Brother, we are still out of Bluestone City and can gamble on our own survival."

"At this moment, the head of the family and the elders are probably waiting to be killed in Qingshi City to appease the anger of the chief clerk."

The Jiang family had obviously made preparations for both scenarios. They let the head of the family and the elders, who were no longer able to migrate, wait for death in Qingshi City in an attempt to appease the chief clerk's anger.

The other method is to let the young and strong people in the family leave in different places, and whoever can leave will be the one.

Jiang Ming was talking to his sister when he heard a voice outside the carriage. He stepped out and looked, his face turned pale. "It's the Wolf Riders of the Wind Wolf Tribe. We're done for."

The convoy had stopped, but seeing the murderous looks of the wolf cavalrymen around him, Jiang Ming didn't believe that these wolf monsters were here to talk nicely.

Jiang Qian, who also saw this scene, was extremely nervous, "Why are they here?"

"The leader of the Wind Wolf Tribe died a while ago, and the tribe was directly split into three or four parts by several heirs. It is normal for someone to surrender to the chief clerk."

While Jiang Ming was explaining, he was thinking quickly about how he could escape safely.

But no matter how he thought about it, the answer he got in the end was the same: death was inevitable. Jiang Ming turned around and asked his sister, "Sister, are you planning to..."

Jiang Ming wanted to ask his sister whether she planned to die here with her innocence intact, or whether she planned to try her charm to see if she could get a chance to survive from the wolf cavalry.

But before the question was even uttered, there was some commotion among the wolf cavalrymen who had surrounded them.

Someone is attacking the wolf cavalry!
Jiang Ming looked far ahead and saw an amazing scene.

A dozen wolf cavalrymen held high a large banner with the word "Mo" on it and violently rushed into the team, slaughtering their compatriots.

"Hahahaha, damn it, you guys made it so easy for me to find you!" Mo Hao laughed wildly, his eyes red, and the blood in his hands turned into swords dancing wildly, "Those who surrender will not be killed, surrender before I kill you all."

The cavalry team led by Mo Hao was extremely fast, and the wolf cavalry of the Wind Wolf Tribe had no way of catching up with them. Moreover, the soldiers on the cavalry drew their bows and arrows and were able to shoot steadily with a high hit rate.

The effect of the talent [Flexible Warhorse] directly increased the riding skills of the cavalry led by Mo Hao by thirty levels.

This level, added to the Kusset cavalry, whose riding skills were already not low, directly transformed the quantitative change into the qualitative change.

Every time you draw your bow and draw your arrow, an enemy will fall on the wolf's back. At the same time, the increase in riding level also reduces the burden on the mount, allowing it to run faster.

For cavalrymen, a faster mount could mean the difference between victory and defeat, and life and death.

At the same time, after Mo Hao gave the soldiers the order to act freely, he directly urged the giant wolf under him to charge towards the place where the most wolf cavalry were.

He knew very well that if he wanted to capture this group of cavalry, the first thing he had to do was to kill the commander of the unit, causing a sharp drop in the morale of the troops.

The blood frenzy was immediately activated, and the blood in the body began to boil, giving this body powerful strength.

After experiencing several times of [Blood Burning], Mo Hao's body became extraordinarily strong.

He was so strong that the wolf cavalry were no match for him.

On the way of charging, more than a dozen wolf cavalrymen tried to stop him, but they only saw a flash of blood, and the cavalrymen, including the wolves, were cut in two, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

There was no trace of these wolf cavalrymen in Mo Hao's eyes. All he saw was the commander, who was telling the other party something with his actions.

Although it was not expressed in words, the action made it very clear.

I'm going to start from here, walk step by step in a straight line to kill your entire army, then stand in front of you and chop you to death!
Arrogance, arrogance, and incomparable oppression directly turned into a huge stone weighing heavily on the commander's heart.

But this feeling did not last long, because the wolf cavalry could not stop Mo Hao's charge, let alone Mo Hao's sword.

A streak of blood flashed by, and crazy red eyes looked at the commander, with a knife already on the commander's head, "Surrender?"

"you……"

Before the commander could utter the second syllable, Mo Hao had already shredded him into pieces, "Sorry, you surrendered too late."
