C175 combat preparation (2/2)

Unless their leader felt that he could not control some of his men and wanted to use the merchant caravan's men to deal with them, then such a bizarre thing would happen.

However, this kind of thing would usually only occur in the Dragon City and Cloudsoaring City, where there was a large group of horse bandits. After all, only those places would be able to afford such a large number of horse bandits.

Only a large group of mounted bandits would have the chance of having a leader send a thorn to its death.

However, there was still a long way to go between the Dragon City and the clouds. Even Xiao Wen and the others couldn't see any nomadic tribes passing by.

”Could it be that it's the recently arrived Manchu Tangzi?” The leader of the guards was also a quick-witted person. Plus, he had travelled to the north and south, so he was experienced and knowledgeable.

Recalling what that herdsman had said today, he immediately realized that the true identity of this group of mounted bandits was most likely that of the patrolmen who had been defeated by the Han army outside Yunzhong City in the past.

”Humph!”

Xiao Wen snorted coldly, ”If all of them were to surround us at the same time, it would bring us some trouble. But if there were only these few dozen? Is this the meaning of looking down on me, Xiao Wen? ”

As he said that, he cut the last piece of rabbit meat on the table into two. With a calm expression, he picked up the fork and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly.

However, at this time, Xiao Wen suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound. He saw the arrows that had been shooting down from the sky land on top of Xiao Wen's table, piercing deeply into the wooden board on top of the table.

Under the dim yellow candlelight, the parts of the arrow that had yet to enter the wood reflected an icy cold light … There was also a dense killing intent.

”How preposterous!” Seeing the arrow that almost pierced his heart, Xiao Wen lost his original calmness.

An angry expression appeared on his face.

”Hahaha!” Those lowly two-legged sheep inside should be scared! ”I should have gained something from this arrow.”

”Boss is amazing, just a casual shot is enough to hit these two-legged sheep.”

Outside the fortification area, a triumphant voice boomed.

The expression of anger on Xiao Wen's face became even more obvious.

”Everyone!” Xiao Wen stood up and said, ”Those Tartars are actually so arrogant. They clearly don't want to give me, the young master, any face. At this point, I will do nothing but attack. Everyone, get ready and hold the lever crossbow. ”If I don't kill all of them today, I swear I won't be a human!”

Hearing this, the guards felt their blood boil.

Big men were valiant, and they liked to fight.

Moreover, Uncle Li had also sent out a notice from the Cloud Palace. If anyone could kill a Tarantula, it would count as a soldier.

And this was enough to raise a commoner's rank by two levels.

The desire to fight had become particularly strong under the stimulation of benefits.

Without waiting for Xiao Wen to give the command to attack, the guards had already wolfed down all the food on the table and started distributing weapons in preparation for battle.

At the same time, looking at the arrow on the table, Xiao Wen was no longer in the mood to continue eating.

He stood up and took off his gorgeous robe.

The leader of the caravan immediately took out a piece of cloth filled with pudding and put it on Xiao Wen. Afterwards, he took off the crown on Xiao Wen's hair and tied it up with a black cloth.

At this moment, Xiao Wen was dressed like a commoner.

After all, Xiao Wen's older brother had died in the beautiful human armor.

On the battlefield, if Xiao Wen was still dressed like a noble, then the policemen would have already started shooting at him.
