Although Shi Bao had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he had a sharp tongue. He was famous in Guancun Village. However, his loose tongue did not mean that he had a bad heart. Even though he was disgusted by this poor scholar, he did not relax his grip on the horse's chew so that the scholar could keep up with the group.
However, their situation was getting worse. Although they were a tribe that grew up on horseback, the horse bandits were no weaker than them. After all, one was a professional robber while the other was a part-time herder. There was a difference.
Just as Shi Bao and Mu Nan were arguing, several groups of elderly tribesmen turned back to stop them. There was no tragedy here, only cruelty! The people who turned back knew that their sacrifice would give their relatives and nephews a chance to survive. The people who were being protected also knew that when they grew older, they would have the same opportunity to contribute. This was the survival of the grassland people.
The horse bandits were already a mile away. If this continued, they would enter the range of the enemy's arrows in no time!
"But our arrows will hit them first!"
Shi Bao gritted his teeth. "After a while, I will turn back to join the battle. I won't be able to protect you anymore. Take care of yourself and steer the horse well. Don't look around and let others take care of you! The rest are women and children. Who can continue to lead the horse for you? "
Mu Nan did not appreciate it at all. "Why should I leave? Of course I will fight with you! Even if I can't kill anyone, I can at least attract the attention of a horse bandit! "
Shi Bao sighed. He had not wasted his time leading the horse for him. These were the words of a human, so it was worth it.
"Thank you for your kindness! But forget about it! If I see you in danger, do you think I will save you or not? "
Mu Nan was still the same. Although he was afraid, it did not stop him from being a good teacher. "It's not right for you to let the elderly cover the retreat! Where is the respect for the elderly and love for the young? If it were us inland people, we would let the young and strong go and the old and weak retreat. This is the foundation of the human race's prosperity! You are too … "
Shi Bao shouted, "Survival of the fittest, natural selection! You are pretending to be benevolent in Gale Plain. After a battle, only the old and weak will be left. Your tribe will be wiped out. What future do you have to talk about? Sour scholar, I don't want to argue with you! "
Under the pursuit of the horse bandits, Miao Gaofeng's figure became clearer and clearer! However, the sound of death's hooves was getting closer and closer!
Although Miao Feng Peak was called a peak, if it was compared to the mountains inland, it might just be a hill! This was a ring-shaped mountain. The east side was the highest, reaching a height of several hundred feet. It could barely be called a peak. The other directions did not even have a name. There was only a valley in the middle of the ring-shaped mountain. It could be considered a treasured place in the grassland. The water and grass were abundant, and the climate was pleasant. It was unknown why, after hundreds and thousands of years, there were no horse bandits entrenched here.
Only the exiles from the interior cultivated the land here, but they didn't have much of a scale.
Mu Nan suddenly realized something. "Hey, if we lure the horse bandits in like this, if the Mountain God doesn't show his power, won't we be causing trouble for the people inside and hurting the innocent? The prairie people have always considered themselves as heroes. You can't divert the trouble away like this, can you? "
This time, even the sharp-tongued Shi Bao couldn't say anything! They all vaguely realized that something was wrong, but they didn't know how to change it! Even if a few people changed their direction, they wouldn't be able to change the situation!
There were only one or two hundred people left in Xiaguan Village. The elderly and the young were almost all dead! It was also because of their sacrifice, the hope of the tribe, that the young men and women had the opportunity to break into Miao Feng Valley!
The women carried their children in front, while the young men like Shi Bao blocked the entrance of the valley, including the women who could pick up weapons and arrows. They had no way out!
The worst thing was that the Mountain God didn't seem to have any reaction to this.
Dozens of young men and women were facing the outside of the valley, blocking the entrance of the valley into a thin formation. They didn't learn any formations, nor did they know the tactics of the inland people. They didn't dismount from their horses, but sat straight on their horses with their scimitars in front of their saddles. They held their bows and waited for the horse bandits to attack!
At least they should dismount! If they didn't have time to dig holes, they could use some branches to set fire! If they didn't learn how to use the environment, how could they fight a war?
Mu Nan pouted. Although he also didn't have any experience in war, the things he learned from books told him that it was wrong to do so! Since they were so defensive, they might as well not enter the valley and fight for their lives outside!
But he didn't say anything in the end because this was the nature of the grassland people. It was something that couldn't be changed. Even if they defended as he imagined, the difference in numbers and strength would only delay them for a moment. It was better than nothing, so it didn't seem to be meaningful!
The grassland people would rather die on horseback!
Shi Bao frowned as he looked at Mu Nan's exquisitely crafted longsword. He sighed. This thing was useless when used on a horse. It was too straight, too thin, and too brittle! But he didn't have any extra scimitars. If he didn't know how to use a scimitar, he would hurt himself!
It was a weapon that could please the ladies of the noble families and show off their heroism!
"When we clash later, follow closely! Focus on the front and don't look around! If you're lucky enough to survive, just find a direction and run! Seeing that you are dressed like a scholar, they might not chase after you! "
Mu Nan said angrily, "There are so many women around, why do you have to pick on me? Are you trying to humiliate me on purpose? "
At the last moment, Shi Bao said softly, "I don't want to talk to them about this because they are from the lower pass. This is our fate! You are different, you are a guest! We grassland people never ask our guests to fight for us! "
Mu Nan gathered his Qi and said, "You treat me as a guest, but the horse bandits don't care about that! What's the difference? Hmm, I'm suddenly in the mood for poetry. Don't disturb me! "
Shi Bao shook his head. He had nothing to say! Although this bookworm was annoying, it wasn't that he had no redeeming qualities. It was just that he didn't know if he could come up with a poem before his brain was removed.
The horse bandits on the opposite side slowed down. Their opponent was already at death's door and had nowhere to run, so there was no need to rush. But this Miao Feng Peak was a little strange, so they had to be cautious!
The legend was not only limited to scholars, but also among the people who fought in Jianghu! Gale Plain was extremely vast, but there weren't many places with good Fengshui like Miao Feng Peak. As long as they were strong enough, they could make this place their stronghold and start a big business!
But for thousands of years, not a single group of horse bandits dared to open a business here! Outsiders might not know, but they were well aware. It wasn't that there were no horse bandits who had never come here, but none of them could stay here. The strangeness of this place was incomprehensible! They could only talk about it in the direction of the supernatural!
None of the horse bandit leaders who came here had a good ending. There were no exceptions!
