Chapter 6 Fighting Horse Thieves

Hou Dayong established his authority in the battle, and no one in the caravan caused trouble anymore. Although Zhao Wu's disciples always looked at Hou Dayong, no one dared to challenge him. Seeing that the trip was coming in two days, Yuguan was approaching, the caravan gradually felt relieved. It seemed that this trip was safe and sound.

Liu San's attitude towards Hou Dayong changed significantly, and he invited Hou Dayong to have a meal together many times. One day, Liu San invited Hou Dayong to her place again. After drinking and eating, Liu San suddenly asked: "I saw Hou Lang practicing bows and arrows every day, and his archery skills are very good. Do you have the intention to join the army?"

Hou Dayong knew that his brother Liu Cunxiao was the governor of Cangzhou. He followed his wishes and seemed to see from his daily practice of archery, he could have the intention to join the army. Hou Dayong secretly thought: If he joined Liu Cunxiao's army, whether he could meet Chai Rong is a question. Chai Rong will become the emperor next year. Now he will be like buying an original stock and joining Liu San. It would be a bit in a bit of talent, and time would not be delayed.

After a brief thought, Hou Dayong decided to go directly to Chanzhou to join Chai Rong. Hou Dayong said respectfully: "I grew up in the forest of the North. There are many beasts in the north. I practice archery skills to hunt."

Liu San laughed and said, "No wonder Hou Lang's tricks are so fierce. Even Zhao Wu is not an enemy. It was originally a skill he learned to fight with beasts since childhood." Then he tentatively found: "Hou Lang, with such skills, being companions with beasts in the mountains is a waste of talents. He is willing to serve in the army. A certain brother served as the governor of Cangzhou and was eager to seek talent. Now the world is chaotic, and the Hu people bully us in the Central Plains, and the people are poisoned. It is a place where heroes use their skills, make contributions in the army, become generals and honor their ancestors, which is not difficult."

Hou Dayong bowed a long time and declined, "I saw Liu Lang very proudly that he was a man from the mountains and fields. He really didn't dare to think so. After arriving in the Central Plains, he would find a mountain forest to accompany the beasts."

Liu San looked at Hou Dayong in surprise, and saw that he looked respectful, but declined his recommendation, so he didn't say anything more. He Fugui secretly called it a pity. Liu San never spoke easily. Many warriors wanted to ask someone to recommend it but could not. This opportunity was not easy to get, but Hou Dayong had already spoken, and it was not easy to take it back.

I arrived at Yuguan on the last day. The caravan was safe and sound, and I felt that the autumn was clear and the air was refreshing. Everyone had begun to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Many guys had already planned to go home and ask my wife to make a pot of wine, buy some good braised meat, take a sip, and then have a good intimate relationship with her. It would be better to have the hard work of this northbound trip.

At night, Liu San lost his usual vigilance and sent people to see around him. Without finding any danger, he chose a low ground, but there was no barrier around him. Seeing that Liu San chose a place that was difficult to defend, Hou Dayong revealed: "The terrain here is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it is not a good place to camp." Liu San did not care and said: "Hou Lang is really a person with heart, so there is no need to worry. This place is very close to Yuguan. The Liao army is nearby. The Liao people hate horse thieves the most, and they all dare not act here. They can sleep peacefully tonight. At night, the wind is strong, so they can avoid the north wind. The north wind that kills the sky blows like a knife at night, which has frozen me a few days ago."

Hou Dayong had no idea. After nightfall, he always felt something strange. Hou Dayong thought to himself: "Maybe Liu San relaxed his vigilance and made him uneasy. I hope he will be safe and smooth tonight and arrive in Cangzhou early." Hou Dayong habitually finished recordings of his wife and told his wife and daughter what happened today. Just as he was about to lie down, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside and shouted loudly. The thing he feared most was happening.

Xi Duguan led the horse team and followed the caravan all the way. Xi Duguan didn't have many people, only more than 100 people, all of them were elite soldiers. They had long recognized this as Liu San's caravan. Liu San's business was so fat every time, but this person was very careful. He had always brought a guard and had a very strict defense. Several groups of horse teams made their decisions and failed to get good luck several times, and many brothers were damaged. They kept following Yanshan. Today was the last day and they would go to Yuguan tomorrow. If they still had no flaws today, they would have to give up this business. The more than a hundred men under them were all tribe members. They followed him for many years and could not be easily damaged. The will of heaven was fulfilling. Finally, on the last day, the caravan had a problem with the defense and chose a place that was conducive to the impact of the horse team, and the defense was lax.

It was completely dark, and although there was moonlight, it was not bright, so people could only be seen faintly. The official of the official quietly launched the horse team and approached the caravan from both sides. When approaching the caravan, a sharp whistle sounded, which was a signal of the official of the official of the official of the official of the official of the person attacking.

When the caravan guards found the horse team, the horse team was close at hand. The guard picked up his weapons and shouted loudly: "The horse thief is here, the horse thief is here." Several sharp arrows, like poisonous snakes, rushed out of the darkness and quickly penetrated his body.

The caravan guards and men heard the sound and quickly picked up their weapons to get out of the tent. The sharp arrows shot by the horse thief had already been waiting at the door. Sharp arrows broke through the air. In the darkness, the guards and men could not hide at all, and most of them were caught in the arrows and fell at the door of the tent.

When the first sharp whistle sounded, Hou Dayong jumped up as fast as possible, took his weapon, and did not go out from the main entrance of the tent, but came out of a corner of the tent and rode on the "wind". The "wind" heard the sound of horse hooves and turned around excitedly. Seeing that the caravan had been disrupted by the raid, no one organized resistance, he knew something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Go behind the goods, go behind the goods." The fast-reacting guard and the servant immediately understood

Hou Dayong's meaning was that behind the goods, they could defend against enemy arrows and use goods to block the impact of war horses. More than 20 people quickly gathered behind the goods, including Liu San, He Fugui, He Wulang and Zhao Wu, and Liu San's friends were basically all lost in the first raid of the horse thief. After all, He Fugui and Zhao Wu's disciples were martial artists and were quick to react. When they heard Hou Dayong's shouts, they rolled and crawled behind the goods, but several people were injured.

Except for Hou Dayong riding a horse with bows and arrows, the rest of the guards picked up all kinds of weapons, including knives, guns, and wooden sticks. As soon as Hou Dayong shot out two arrows, he led the horse team to the front of the goods. Fortunately, the cargo blocked the horse team, otherwise the caravan would not be able to resist at all under the impact of the horse team.

The official of the official held a big axe in his hand, and was powerful and led his horse team to bypass the goods. More than 20 guards fought with more than 100 horse thieves. In a blink of an eye, the guards were killed, only Liu San, He Fugui, Zhao Wu, He Wulang and other good men killed their opponents, grabbed the war horses, and killed the horse thieves desperately. Liu San did not usually play guns and sticks, but his sword skills were cruel and killed several close-knit horse thieves.

On the horse, Xi Duguan split two guards with a big axe one after another. Seeing that the guards were cut in half and blood burst, Xi Duguan's ferocity was aroused and his face was full of grim smile. Suddenly, he heard the sound of breaking the wind behind him, and turned around and opened with a big axe.

When Hou Dayong saw a big man holding an axe killing two guards, he rushed from behind and raised his sword to slash. Unexpectedly, the big man was backhanded and almost lost his sword. Hou Dayong was shocked: This enemy has such great strength. Hou Dayong had no way out at this time, and the brave ones won when they meet on a narrow road. Hou Dayong raised his sword to slash towards his opponent.

Seeing that the visitor was very tricky in swordsmanship, Xi Duguan flashed sideways and slashed Hou Dayong in his chest with a big axe. Hou Dayong saw that the axe was heavy and did not dare to take it head-on, so he ran away with his horse. The "wind" speed was extremely fast, and he pulled his opponent away in a blink of an eye. Xi Duguan chased him tightly, but saw his opponent turn to his side, raised his hand, and heard a "bang" sound. Xi Duguan felt a numbness in his right chest, and then he fell off his horse. It turned out that Hou Dayong saw that it was not Xi Duguan's opponent, and while he ran away, he pulled out his pistol and shot Xi Duguan off his horse.

Seeing that the official was caught, several horse thieves rushed towards Hou Dayong. The horse thieves had the absolute advantage. Hou Dayong was unwilling to fight and fled with the "wind". In succession, two horse thieves who blocked the road were shot and killed by Hou Dayong. Seeing that Hou Dayong raised his hand and his companions were caught, they also emitted a loud noise and fire. They didn't know what weapons Hou Dayong used, and they shouted: "There are the advantages of hidden weapons." They did not dare to approach, so Hou Dayong took the opportunity to break out of the horse thieves team.

Hou Dayong escaped from the horse thief and did not walk far away. Seeing a few trees on the slope ahead, he put the pistol back to his waist, took off his longbow, and hid in the forest. With the moonlight, he checked the situation in the camp. Soon, another horse rushed out, and four or five horse thieves were chasing behind him. When the horse thief entered the archery journey, Hou Dayong shot several arrows in succession, and the horse thieves were constantly hit by arrows. Since Hou Dayong arrived at the Sumo Marine Tribe, he practiced archery every day. He knew that in ancient times, bows and arrows were extremely dangerous long-range attack weapons. To gain a foothold on the battlefield, he had to master this skill. Therefore, Hou Dayong basically did not leave his bow every day. In addition to long-term military shooting training, he formed good basic qualities. Therefore, the archery technique has improved rapidly, not to mention the hundreds of steps to penetrate the willows, but he is 80 to nine points to grasp the big target.

When all the horse thieves landed on the ground, the riders who rushed out of the encirclement also came to the place where Hou Dayong was hiding, but it was Liu San. Liu San's hair was scattered and said gratefully: "Hou Lang is really brave, and the kindness of saving each other will never be forgotten." Hou Dayong looked at the residence and said: "Look, there is still the one who can rush out." Liu San nodded, and when he arrived at the place where the horse thief fell, he picked up the horse thief's bow and arrow, and carried a knife to kill the horse thief who was still injured. Seeing that the caravan was seriously injured, Hou Dayong resented the horse thief's cruelty, and did not stop Liu San's move, he picked up the horse thief's arrows and added them to the arrow bag.

Hou Dayong and Liu San had just added arrows, but when they saw three cavalry rushing out of the camp, the thieves chased them relentlessly. When the horse thieves entered the arrow, Hou Dayong and Liu San drew their bows and shot them fiercely. Liu San said angrily: "Let these dog thieves see my methods." The two of them shot without any errors, and the horse thieves screamed one after another. In the darkness, the horse thieves were unable to distinguish the direction of the enemy's arrows, and they could only be shot. Seeing that the situation was wrong, a whistle sounded and stopped chasing. Hou Dayong and others did not dare to fight with the horse thieves again. After the horse thieves looted the camp, they quickly headed towards Yanshan.

The two of them rushed out of the thief surrounded him, including He Fugui, Zhao Wu and He Wulang. Seeing Hou Dayong and Liu San, they fell off the horse, and He Wulang fell off the horse. He Fugui hugged He Wulang and cried in a hurry. Hou Dayong saw that He Wulang was seriously injured, covered in wounds, and an arrow was inserted on his shoulder, and he was unconscious. Suddenly, He Fugui burst into tears, and it turned out that He Wulang had no breath.

The father and son of the He family were invited by Liu San. Seeing He Wulang dead, Liu San sighed: "He Wulang bravely resisted the thief and was a hero. This revenge must be avenged."

Hou Dayong explored He Wulang's carotid artery, looked through his eyelids, and pushed He Fugui away without hesitation, put He Wulang flat, and pressed his chest rhythmically with his hands. Everyone looked at Hou Dayong Shi Wei in confusion. After a while, He Wulang woke up. Hou Dayong took out a small bag with him with his waist, took out the wild ginseng sent by Ajige, cut it off, put it in He Wulang's mouth, and let it hold it.

After some treatment, He Fugui saw that although He Wulang was weak, his life was not hindered. He turned over and knelt down to Hou Dayong: "He family will never forget the kindness of saving his life. The kindness of the kindness of the Lord and the Lord will be driven by him, and He is willing to be heartbroken."
