Chapter 518 Night Murder
The three carriages loaded with ordnance had just left the east gate, and Zhao Pan, who had been hiding in the dark, walked out with a gloomy face.
"General, do you want to catch up?"
"Need not."
Facing Lieutenant General Liu Tao's proposal, Zhao Pan waved his hand.
"In the future, the people from Anbu will take care of it. Liu Tao, tonight is not very peaceful. You temporarily take a group of people to guard the east city wall. If anything happens, let me know as soon as possible."
"The last general takes orders!"
After Liu Tao responded, he waved his hand directly, indicating that the troops under his command took over the garrison of Dongcheng Gate.
At the same time, the other end...
Zhang Lin, who had left Tiebi City, and the others drove their carriage to the east.
After running for nearly three hours, it finally stopped.
Look at the empty meeting place.
Zhang Lin was secretly irritable.
"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
In the past, Zhang Lin would naturally not care about this time error.
But this time was different. After all, he was in a hurry to escape!
After waiting for nearly thirty minutes, no one was seen.
For Zhang Lin and others at this time, this time was like a year, and it was extremely difficult.
The unease in some people's hearts has become more and more intense as time goes by.
"Boss, they won't come, will they?"
"shut up!"
Zhang Lin snorted angrily.
Now it's not only his subordinates who are panicking, but he himself is also panicking.
But things have come to this point, what's the use of panic?
"We still have three trucks of ordnance here. They can't want it. Moreover, our existence is also of great use to them. Now we can't get along and defect to them, and they can't refuse."
Zhang Lin's words had a certain comforting effect.
Time passed by every second.
Another ten to twenty minutes passed.
The sound of horse hooves in the distance shocked Zhang Lin and the others who were terrified in their hearts.
But just in case.
Zhang Lin still put his hand on the bronze sword on his waist.
And then shouted from a long distance...
"Who is coming?"
He should have heard his question, and an obviously twisted voice replied in Central Plains words, "It's us!"
The people and horses in the distance obviously slowed down after they approached a certain distance.
After getting close, by the light of the torch in his hand.
I saw that the costumes of the people coming from the opposite side were actually a group of people from the grasslands!
The position they are currently in should be regarded as the junction between the Central Plains and the grasslands.
It is the eastern border periphery of Wanjie Civilization.
Outside of other people's territory, this group of prairie people obviously did not dare to be too arrogant.
Estimated the number of people, it should be only about fifty horses.
"Have you brought everything?"
The prairie man at the head asked in a twisted Central Plains dialect.
Zhang Lin, who heard the question, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and then said loudly...
"The things are in the car, so what are the terms you agreed to us?"
In the past, Zhang Lin and the others stole weapons and exchanged resources such as cattle, sheep and horses with these grassland people.
These livestock are quite valuable in today's Wanjie civilization.
A horse, a cow, can be sold for a high price.
Lamb is something that only dignitaries can afford.
With each batch, they can make a lot of money.
After everyone gets a point, everyone can still get a small amount.
Of course, this time, what Zhang Lin and the others wanted was obviously not cattle, sheep and horses.
Once their identities are exposed, the money of Wanjie Civilization will be meaningless to them.
So the condition they put forward this time is to let the leader of the other tribe take them to the grassland.
They were originally people of the civilization of the worlds.
And he is also a soldier of the original Wanjie civilization.
For the prairie people, even if they can no longer help them steal ordnance, it still has a lot of value.
So Zhang Lin decided that the other party would accept them.
And it's true...
"Don't worry, our leader has agreed to accept you."
While speaking, the prairie man who took the lead eased a little, and then spoke again.
"Bring your stuff and come with us."
Hearing this, Zhang Lin and the others immediately showed joy.
Although the living environment on the grassland is relatively harsh, it is far less prosperous and comfortable than their Central Plains.
But in this situation, it is not bad to save life.
Where is there any room for choice?
A group of people drove a carriage and was about to follow the prairie people to the grassland.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the mutation protruded!
In the dark night, a humming sound rang out one after another.
Right under Zhang Lin's nose.
A roaring crossbow arrow directly penetrated the throat of the prairie man in the lead!
For a while, in this canyon passage, a scene of chaos was staged.
The screams of the prairie people and the neighs of the war horses quickly mixed into a ball.
On the mountains on both sides, men in black with hand crossbows appeared one after another.
Fire frantically towards the prairie people below.
At this moment, under this night, the torches in their hands became the guiding lights on their Huangquan Road!
"Torches, put out the torches!"
Zhang Lin, who had reacted, was afraid that they themselves would become the target of the men in black.
He hurriedly screamed and asked the subordinates behind him to put out the torches in their hands.
At the same time, the grassland people also responded.
They threw away the torches in their hands, and then shouted loudly...
"There is an ambush! Quickly withdraw!!"
Looking at the prairie man who turned his horse's head and wanted to retreat.
The Anbu members who were lying in ambush on both sides let out a sneer at the same time.
When Zhang Lin and others came to leave the signal the day before yesterday, they had already started ambush arrangements.
During this period, naturally, I also saw the grassland people who came to receive the signal.
It's just that they were not fully prepared at the time, so naturally they didn't act rashly.
And now, this meeting place has already been set up by them.
Want to escape? It's just a dream!
The stumbling cables on the ground were pulled straight up.
Under the night, the line of sight was greatly affected.
In addition, these prairie people lost the torches again.
How could it be possible to find a tripwire on the ground now?
The person who was tripped almost instantly turned on his back.
Listen to the movement below.
The black crow, who knew that the tripping horse had taken effect, sneered.
Then he quickly pulled out the bronze sword from his waist and shouted, "Leave a few alive to ask questions, and the rest, kill them all!"
One after another black shadows flew out under the darkness of the night with a murderous intent.
A series of layouts did not give those grassland people any chance to resist.
Almost all the fifty cavalry were buried.
Until Zhang Lin and the others came back to their senses.
A man in black holding a bronze sword has surrounded their three carriages!
Above the mountains, there are several hand crossbows eyeing.
Everything shows a fact.
That is they have no way to escape!
