Chapter 302 Zhou Jin
"Hey hey, I don't believe that you don't care about Han women. I think it's not early today. Let's rest in the Han village in front of us. Anyway, by the way, let's inquire about the situation in Longxi City. Isn't it right?" In the face of Tegel's serious reminder, Sidem didn't care. The two had cooperated for a long time and were very familiar with each other. Sidem naturally understood that although Tegel was serious, in fact, he did not have his own sleak in his heart, but did not show it.
"Then let's listen to you. Longxi City has not been stationed for a long time, and it is not a military town. Let's go to a Han village to inquire about the news. Well, speaking of which, I also miss some Han women. Looking at the appearance of the side, Tegel also did not insist on rushing the way, he said. However, when Tegel said the last sentence, it made the Xianbei men around him laugh.
On the official road leading to Longxi, a team of business travelers was moving slowly. Seeing that they were about to reach Longxi, people smiled involuntarily.
"Boss Zhou, it's about to arrive in Longxi. Our business is doing well, and it's safe on the way. I think you can make a good profit, boss." A burly man in the caravan said to a young man dressed as a scribe.
The young man's name is Zhou Jin. He was originally a big family in Longxi City. He has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child. Unfortunately, Beigong Boyu invaded, so that Longxi City was destroyed, and Zhou Jin's family also died in the war, and Zhou Jin survived the war. After the war, Zhou Jin returned to Longxi, hoping to find his lost family. Unfortunately, the times have passed. Longxi, which has experienced the war, is no longer the prosperity of the past, and the Zhou family is no longer a big family in the past. In desperation, Zhou Jin relied on reading a lot of books and started a business. Although it is a disgrace for scholars. It must be farmers, industry and commerce. Businessmen are the most unnoticed in all industries, but for Zhou Jin, who has a broken family, it is not necessarily not a good thing to inquire about his separated family.
"Well? Brother Li is right. If this trip can arrive in Longxi safely, it can indeed make a small profit. However, recently, I heard that Longxi is not very peaceful, and it seems that there are Xianbei people. Brother Li, please tell everyone that you can work harder. When you enter Longxi City, I will buy wine for everyone and treat you well. After listening to Lao Li's words, although Zhou Jin also feels reasonable, Zhou Jin has developed a cautious attitude since the war, and will never relax until the end of everything.
Brother Li in Zhou Jin's mouth is the guard leader of Zhou Jin's caravan. This person's surname is Li, so everyone calls him Lao Li. Only when Zhou Jin and Lao Li get along with him and think that he is good, this is called Brother Li to show the meaning of closeness.
"Listen, everyone. Cheer up and work harder. The front is almost to Longxi City. When it comes to Longxi City, the board will buy us wine." Seeing that Zhou Jin wanted to do it for everyone, Lao Li couldn't help shouting at everyone.
When everyone heard Lao Li's words, they suddenly became energetic and excited, and the speed of the motorcade suddenly accelerated a lot.
Zhou Jin naturally knows that the northwest men he hired live a life of licking blood with a knife. They are bold, but they have developed a drinking personality. As the saying goes, as long as there is wine and meat, they don't care about it.
"Look what's over there?" Everyone was making a fuss when they suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping in the distance, with strange clothes on their bodies, which was not the dress of the Central Plains at a glance.
"The cavalry is the cavalry. No, they are Xianbei. The Xianbei cavalry has come." Looking at the strangely dressed knights and remembering the rumors that the Xianbei cavalry were wandering around, everyone soon understood what had happened. Yes, it was the Xianbei cavalry who killed it.
"Boss Zhou, you take the workmen to go quickly and hide in front of you. I'll take my brothers to block it first." I saw the Xianbei cavalry approaching. Lao Li knew that it was unavoidable, so he could only let Zhou Jin go with the goods first, while he grabbed a sword in his hand and was ready to fight against the Xianbei people who had been killed.
"Grandma, I didn't expect to catch a group of fat sheep in the village where I haven't seen the Han people yet." Just as Zhou Jin and his group saw Tegel and his party, Tegel and the others also found Zhou Jin's caravan and rushed over. For these Xianbei riders, Zhou Jin and his party are naturally fat sheep.
"Ha ha, let's go around from both sides. Don't let them run away." When he saw the caravan not far away, he suddenly said with a trace of greed in his eyes. For these Xianbei people, although the Han women are very attractive to them, in contrast, they, who have lived in a bitter place for a long time, prefer the wealth of the Han family.
"Brothers, protect the caravan." Lao Li, who was ready to fight with the Xianbei people, saw that the Xianbei people were suddenly divided into two teams and surrounded from both sides. He had to change his combat plan and instead took a group of guards to escort the caravan to rush in the direction of Longxi City.
"How could this happen? Is this Longxi no longer safe? Seeing Xianbei riding rushing over, Zhou Jin was in a trance. After Beigong Boyu was killed, Zhou Jin thought that Longxi was safe and would never be invaded by foreigners again. Then he boldly returned to his hometown and wanted to find his lost family and reproduce the prosperity of the Zhou family on the ruins. But I didn't expect that this is just a few years of relaxed life. Seeing that I gradually have some money in Longxi, I met Xianbei people. Is Xianbei people going to attack Longxi? A bad feeling arose in Zhou Jin's heart.
"Boss Zhou, don't be stunned. Take the caravan and find a place to defend after the front. Maybe you can avoid this disaster." Seeing that Zhou Jin's expression was a little trance, Lao Li hurriedly urged. As the captain of the caravan, Lao Li had only one idea in his mind at this time, which was how to keep the caravan.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. If we run like this, the Xianbei people will chase behind. Sooner or later, we will be caught up by the Xianbei people. At that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." Seeing that Xianbei was chasing after him, Zhou Jin was shocked and looked at Lao Li and couldn't help asking.
"Boss Zhou really has some eyes. In the face of the impact of Xianbei riding, our best way is to organize people to defend on the spot, but I don't know if Boss Zhou is willing to block his life with Lao Li and fight with him." Seeing that Zhou Jin saw the key, Lao Li couldn't help saying to Zhou Jin**.
Lao Li has been the escort of the caravan for many years. Naturally, he knows how to face the attack of the riding. However, the general owner of the caravan may not be able to make up his mind to work hard, so he advocates that Zhou Jin runs away with the caravan and can run away one by one. However, in contrast, Lao Li is more Lao Li, who tends to fight to the death with these riders, must be very confident in his skills as a guard, and is full of hatred for these foreign riders in front of him.
"Although I, Zhou Jin, am just a scholar, I am also a backbone person. I will press up my goods and manpower. I don't believe it. We Han people will also be bullied by foreigners in the territory of the Han people." Seeing that Lao Li had a way, the flame of hatred in Zhou Jin's heart immediately burned, and his blood was boiling for a while to fight with Xianbei people.
"Everyone listened and pulled all the horses around the city, tied them tightly with ropes, unloaded all the goods, and put them in a circle. We had a good time with these dogs, bitches. With Zhou Jin's consent, Lao Li immediately commanded the crowd to take action.
First of all, use all the horses of the caravan to surround the city to form a simple defensive formation. This is the formation that the caravan usually rests, which is useful for defending against the raids of wild wolves or the attacks of bandits. It's just Lao Li's words that everyone quickly completed the outermost defense. Of course, it is impossible to deal with Xianbei people by relying on such a simple defense, so Lao Li commanded the crowd to use goods in the circle of horses, and formed a small circle. Although this small circle is small, it plays a great role in the battle. Compared with the defense of the peripheral horses, it is more secretive and has a good effect on preventing the enemy's feather and arrow attacks. At the same time, it can also collect the wounded, so that the wounded can use its cover and attack the enemy with bows and arrows. At the same time, it can also be the first on the periphery. After the road defense line was broken through, it played the role of the second line of defense.
It's complicated, but for everyone, it's very simple to do. As a caravan, these horses are usually linked together with ropes. At this time, these horses are just one after another to complete the first line of defense, and the work of unloading the goods is even more familiar, but at this time, they are about to arrive. In the battle, everyone was a little nervous.
However, even so, when Zhou Jin and others had just completed two lines of defense and grabbed the weapon in their hands, the Xianbei's horse had been killed.
"Grandma, I'm ready so soon. These Han people are not stupid." Looking at the simple defensive formation of the Han people, holding swords, bows and arrows in one hand, as if facing a big enemy. Tegel said depressedly. Tegel understood that the biggest advantage for the cavalry was the impact. At this time, the defense of these Han caravans was like a stubborn stone, giving Tegel a feeling that there was nowhere to start.
"Hey hey, isn't this more interesting? I'd like to see what these Han people can do." Unlike Tegel's caution, Side Teng smiled contemptuously, and then waved the machete in his hand and rushed over with more than a dozen people. As a rider on the grassland, Xianbei people are best at not sharp attacks or close combat between the two sides, but harassment and fighting. They use the sharpness of bows and arrows in their hands and the speed of sitting on horses to constantly consume the enemy's combat effectiveness. In the face of Zhou Jin's caravan, side Teng naturally doesn't want to be so troublesome, but when the distance between them gradually gets closer, Xianbei people still habitually bend their bows and arrows.
