Lord of Rot

Chapter 347 Battle of Bonta Canyon

It was afternoon on the road and the sun was setting in the west.

The visibility in the canyon was decreasing. It was very depressing along the way. The front was vast. When I turned my head and looked back, I could no longer see the entrance to Bonta Canyon.

It was as if they had been swallowed into the belly of a giant beast and lost their way.

I lit the torch I had prepared and continued on my way.

Everyone had already had a good rest before entering the canyon. Now this place is narrow and cramped, making it very unsuitable for resting on the ground.

Of course, only if someone dares to catch them will they know who is the fisherman and who is the turtle.

Suddenly, a sharp bird call came.

Li Qi suddenly looked up and looked forward, raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

"stop!"

Someone shouted, someone blew a whistle, and the team stopped in unison.

The caravan following at the rear also received the order and stopped quickly.

The canyon is narrow, and there are mountains like chasms on the left and right. It is difficult for birds to cross. How can there be birds?

Therefore, it can only be an ambush.

……

Djeru lay on the ground with his face sideways.

"coming!"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, his face lit up with joy.

They heard that there was a war going on in the East Gorge recently, but they didn't know the specific reason. Stories and rumors couldn't pass through the canyon, and even if they did, they wouldn't get into the ears of the robbers.

As a desert bandit, Djeru's team has more than 30 people and strong soldiers and horses.

They usually make a living by robbing passing caravans, and some caravans will take the initiative to give money to buy peace.

In the past month, almost no caravans have passed by, and my own team has to tighten their belts to get by.

The companions who were ambushing behind heard Djelu's reminder and quickly prepared their horses and protective shields to block the road.

The crossbow bought at a huge price was also equipped with arrows.

No matter who is coming in front of you, if you encounter this trick, you must pay the price obediently.

After a while, the "Fat Sheep" caravan came.

"It's still a rich merchant team!" Djelu was overjoyed.

I have almost never seen a caravan protected by thirty or forty cavalry.

And the one in the leader's gorgeous dress should be a noble.

Kidnapping nobles, any amount of ransom will be enough to cover expenses for several months. If you are lucky, you can enjoy the happiness until the Chinese New Year.

There was a weirdo with four arms in the team, which made Djelu feel a little uncomfortable. Why is there such a disgusting person? He should be killed!

The horse completely blocked the road and the team had to stop.

Djerou had returned to the team and shouted loudly, "We are..."

"Oh!"

There was a sudden explosion.

The narrow Bonta Canyon is a natural echo device, and loud noises are echoed far away.

"What's going on?" Djeru had no idea what just happened.

Hearing a cry of pain from beside him, Djeru reacted, turned around and saw blood pouring from the right chest of the young man hiding next to him.

"What kind of arrow is this?"

"Is it magic?"

Djeru's heart beat wildly and he panicked.

I have never seen anything like this in my life. Why was there a sudden spring thunder explosion, and then my companion next to me was seriously injured?

Unfortunately, there was no chance for him to think.

The young nobleman at the front suddenly waved his right hand forward, and a group of cavalry holding strange gun barrels rushed over.

Without saying a word, just start killing!

How could there be such a fierce and decisive person?

Djeru suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted loudly: "Arrow, counterattack!"

The unknown is scary, but Juma gives him confidence.

If they encountered such a group of cavalry in the plains and wilderness, even their bare-handed Djeru would have no choice but to turn around and run away. Being hit by a horse would kill him.

But when the cavalry, which could only go straight forward, encountered a resistance that they could not cross, they had no choice but to wait for death!

The arrow flew towards a cavalryman and accurately hit his chest armor. There was only a "dang" sound as the arrow knocked off a piece of iron scales and then slid away.

The upper body of the light cavalry is made of thickened and modified scale armor, which mainly protects key parts such as the chest, abdomen and head. The lower body is made of light armor for the convenience of shooting immediately. If it encounters a heavy cavalry hedging, it will definitely be a dead end, but in the face of It's completely different when it comes to ordinary infantry. They can fight, run and have high mobility.

The cavalryman raised the strange weapon in his hand.

Although Djeru didn't know what kind of weapon it was, he guessed it was similar to a crossbow.

What kind of sharpshooter does one have to be to ride a horse and shoot arrows to hit people? Djeru didn't believe that this group of people were all sharpshooters.

Moreover, when they rushed in front of them, they found that there was a resisting horse that could not get past them. When they turned back and ran back, it was a good opportunity for their own crossbowmen to take advantage of the victory and pursue them.

"Oh!"

The sound like spring thunder came again, and the robbers were shaken.

The sounds were connected in a series, really like thunder roaring on a rainy day.

Several crossbowmen immediately screamed and fell down.

"Hide!" Jerome shouted hurriedly: "They can't turn over! Wait until they escape back and then shoot arrows to chase them!"

The group hid behind shields, hoping that the invisible arrows would be blocked by the shields.

But this is destined to be a fantasy. It is just an ordinary hardwood shield. How can it block the fire of hot weapons?

The projectiles flew through the shield easily and even hit the crouching figure directly in the head.

Djeru looked scared, but didn't know what to do, so he could only curl up.

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.

coming!

Stop it!

Djeru waited, but instead of stopping, the horse's hooves rushed harder and harder, getting closer and closer!

There was a sudden darkness above his head, and Djeru subconsciously raised his head to look up.

A horse actually jumped over the horse, flew through the air and jumped in front of him.

"what!"

Some people couldn't help but scream and ran away, but the cavalry on horseback pulled out their swords and took off their heads with one blow.

Djeru quickly begged for mercy: "My lord, my lord, there is a misunderstanding. Don't kill me! I am the leader of this group of people!"

These were those who were caught and killed, and some of them turned around and ran away after realizing that Juma could not stop this group of cavalry.

How could two legs outrun four?

And they have guns.

After scattered gunshots and screams, when the musketeers returned, everything had settled.

Move away from the horse and the road ahead becomes clear again.

On the other hand, the two mercenaries who had been following behind swallowed. They knew how strong Li Qi's soldiers were, but they had never heard of a cavalryman who could leap over and resist horses on horseback.

If you can make a leap, it won't be called a horse-rejection.

Or is it that the horses the musketeers ride are of unusual breeds, like eagles without wings, capable of flying close to the ground?

"Sir, it's a group of robbers," the soldier said when he came back after investigating.

Li Qi "Let's search and burn the body."

"Yes!"

The captured Djelu was also brought to Li Qi.

The cavalryman who pulled him over said: "Sir, he said he is the leader of this bandit!"

Li Qi frowned: "Since he is the bandit leader, why don't you just kill him? Why leave it to me?"

He didn't like this group of bandits and refused horses, shields, and crossbows.

It was enough to see that this group of people relied on this method to make money and eat. If they all were killed, no one would be unjust.

"Yes!" The soldier was also a little embarrassed. He really thought Jello was useful just now.

Who knew that the lord of my own family didn't look at him seriously at all.

Djeru wanted to say something else, but his head was chopped off with a sword.

Not many useful things were found, so Li Qi directly rewarded the musketeers with those things.

Another soldier came back: "Sir, there is a cave ahead, which seems to be a resting place for these bandits!"

Li Qi immediately said: "It just happened. Let's go over and have a rest. We will set off again at dawn tomorrow."
