Chapter 1480: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (Twenty-four)
On the nameless hill, the Qing'an caravan had just completed its defensive arrangements when the enemy surrounded them impatiently.
One or two thousand bandits swarmed across the wilderness, their eyes flashing with greed and bloodthirstiness, like wolves eyeing a flock of sheep, eager to show their fangs.
These bandits were not ordinary refugees. Most of them were strong and equipped with spears, swords, axes and a small number of bows and arrows. They moved in an orderly manner and were absolutely a simple mob.
Moreover, among the bandits, there are some well-equipped leaders who are active and shout to boost morale from time to time.
The bandits stopped only about half a mile away from the caravan.
They did not launch a rash attack, but simply surrounded the caravan on the hill, ready to attack.
And seemed to be waiting for something.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen in the temporary camp asked someone to move a large box.
The box was so heavy that it required four porters to move it.
The box was placed in front of Wang Chen. He drew his sword and cut off the copper lock hanging on it.
Then he kicked the lid open.
The people in the caravan gathered around couldn't help but gasp.
Because the box is filled with extremely fine snowflake silver, it makes people's heart beat fast just by looking at it.
Although everyone knew that the caravan came to Yunze Prefecture to purchase food, they carried a large amount of gold and silver.
But knowing and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different things!
Wang Chen stepped on the silver box and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen the current situation. We are being targeted by bandits. If we don't get rid of these jackals, let alone bringing food home, our lives may not be saved."
"I plan to charge these bandits while their numbers are still small. Who of you is willing to join me in killing the enemies?"
So many bandits are definitely not from the same group. It is estimated that the thieves and robbers in Yunze Prefecture knew that there was a fat sheep passing by, and one or two teams could not take it down, so they spread the message to summon their kind to share the food together.
Therefore, it is not a wise choice to defend on this hill without water source. The enemy is not very strong at the moment, and it is the best time to launch a charge.
But how many can Wang Chen kill alone?
The caravan guards looked at each other in bewilderment, and dozens of them stepped forward and saluted in unison, saying, "We are willing to die for you, sir!"
These guards were all veterans of the garrison. They had once followed Wang Chen to slay bandits on the city wall of Qing'an County, and therefore they admired and trusted Wang Chen the most.
Moreover, they have killed people and seen blood, so they have a natural bravery and are the most active in responding.
"very good!"
Wang Chen kicked over the silver box, and ingots of ten-liang silver weighing ten taels poured out.
"Each person takes one ingot first, and there will be a big reward after killing the bandits!"
If you want someone to risk their life for you, you must pay them enough money. Wang Chen doesn't like to make empty promises to others, especially when facing a powerful enemy.
"We are also willing to serve you, sir!"
The escorts and porters followed suit and volunteered to fight.
In addition to being stimulated by the silver all over the ground, they were basically local people from Qing'an County and knew the importance of this batch of grain to their hometown. If they could not take it back, their families might not have enough food to eat.
The most important thing is, when surrounded by bandits, how can you survive if you don't fight back desperately?
It is impossible to surrender. Surrendering will definitely mean death!
Then why not follow Wang Chen and fight to the death?
"very good!"
Wang Chen selected three hundred elite soldiers and equipped them with weapons, then he took out a long wooden box from under a carriage.
The wooden box contains a long handle and a long blade, which together form a Mo Dao that is more than eight feet long!
This Mo Dao was specially forged by Wang Chen for this grain-purchasing mission by the best craftsman in the official workshop. The blade is made of thousand-forged fine iron, and after being infused with internal strength, it can easily cut through heavy armor.
When Wang Chen lifted up the Mo Dao, which was taller than himself, the blade reflected a cold light, shocking everyone present!
"Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Wang Chen rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the bandits at the foot of the hill.
Three hundred warriors followed closely behind!
This scene left the bandits dumbfounded.
They have the advantage in numbers and can be considered as local tyrants. They want to trap the Qing'an caravan here and nibble on it bit by bit, so that they can always get the most delicious fat meat in the end.
But no one expected that the Qing'an caravan would not play according to common sense and actually took the initiative to launch an attack.
Seeing the three hundred aggressive warriors, many bandits became frightened and retreated subconsciously.
"Don't panic!"
A bandit leader shouted angrily: "Archers, get ready, shoot them to death!"
At this time, Wang Chen was less than half a mile away from the nearest bandits.
He charged at a very fast speed, thus greatly increasing the distance between him and the 300 warriors behind him.
Forming a trend of going straight to the point.
call out!call out!call out!
Hundreds of arrows shot towards Wang Chen.
Although these arrows were shot out in a hurry and appeared to be disorderly, they were still densely packed and completely covered Wang Chen.
"break!"
Wang Chen suddenly raised his head and roared. An invisible wave of air exploded, actually shaking away all the arrows shot at him.
The next moment, Wang Chen suddenly increased the speed of his charge, and he flew forward with his Mo Dao in hand, reaching the nearest bandit in an instant.
call!
The long Mo Dao swept out, the sharp blade emitting a cold light, and it killed two bandits at the same time.
The two bandits held shields in front of them, but they were like paper under the sharp edge of the Mo Dao and did not provide any defensive effect at all.
Wang Chen actually chopped him and his shield into four pieces with one sword!
The bandits who were cut in half and fell to the ground did not die immediately. They let out shrill and desperate howls, officially opening the curtain for this brutal battle.
Wang Chen did not stop, he charged into the middle of the bandits, wielding his Mo Dao left and right, stirring up a bloody storm!
No bandit could stop Wang Chen's blade.
This eight-foot-long Mo Dao had an astonishingly large killing range. In Wang Chen's hands, it was invincible, ruthlessly reaping the lives of batches of enemies.
"die!"
A bandit leader with bloodshot eyes roared and leaped high, looking down at Wang Chen's head with his sword.
As a result, before his men fell, a flash of extremely sharp sword light appeared, and suddenly a blood rain burst out all over the sky.
The bandits' not-so-strict formation collapsed in an instant.
These thieves came here to make a fortune rather than to fight for their lives. Seeing their companions around them being killed in large numbers like wheat swept by a sickle and listening to their tragic wails, they were all terrified.
Many bandits turned and ran, even dropping their weapons.
