The slap in the face came so quickly.
Just a few seconds ago, Boss Li was here confidently saying that his team was absolutely safe and could not possibly be kidnapped by any bandits.
If it weren't for the timely reaction of the guards nearby, Mr. Li's horse would have been lost.
Moreover, there were enemies lying in ambush on all four sides, so this was a complete robbery.
"tread……"
Liu Hu, the leader, observed the group in front of him. It seemed to have only a few dozen people.
My men here are all skilled in wielding weapons, and there are several experts, including the three leaders.
On the other side, the one who just cut the arrow looks a little threatening, but it's not a big problem.
There were more than a dozen archers around him. If he tried to defend against a large number of arrows all by himself, he would probably be riddled with arrows.
"So, this time, the advantage is in my hands!"
My mind settled down again; this time, I was sure to have a big win.
"Whoosh..."
With a swing of his broadsword, a gust of air left a shallow mark on the ground.
"Everyone, judging from this setup, I don't need to say anything more, right?"
Everyone understands, everyone understands. It's protection money, money to buy your life. If you know what's good for you, just hand it over right now and obediently give it to us.
Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to use knives to demand money, and if that happens and blood is drawn, things will get complicated.
He didn't approach, but maintained a safe distance, walking slowly, trying to exert pressure in this way.
As for the results?
After his initial surprise, Mr. Li, the owner of the caravan, remained calm, and the guards around him also stood still.
Han Feiyu originally wanted to observe more, but Old Man Han gestured for him to be quiet.
"Old man, I thought this guy was going to say something like, 'This road is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave some money behind.'"
"Speaking nonsense at a time like this? Don't you even know what time it is? Can't you be serious for once?"
Their conversation went unnoticed by others, but the situation here began to change due to the ongoing standoff.
"Hey, what are you all thinking about, staying so quiet and still?"
Unwilling to pay? Let me make this clear: 30%. Give me 30% of your money, and I'll let you off the hook.
"It's not a loss, is it? A little bit of material possessions for a life, it's a win no matter how you look at it."
The captain of the guards remained silent, only glancing at Boss Li's expression before raising the knife in his hand.
"Sizzle..."
Seeing their leader's actions, the other guards also drew their knives and pointed them at the bandits around them.
The meaning is quite clear: they won't give any money.
Mountain bandits want to rob us? They should check their own capabilities first.
"Alright, preparing to resist? Men, attack!"
At the command, both the caravan guards and the surrounding bandits began their actions.
"Ordinary people, hide under the car!"
The guards only had time to shout that once before the archers on both sides fired a shot.
"Whoosh... Clang clang clang..."
Because the trade routes were varied, they were prepared with wooden shields, which blocked most of the first wave of attacks and protected the horses of the caravan.
The rest, because the homemade bows and arrows were somewhat crudely made, had arrows that landed nearby.
Because the bandits were few in number, the defense was relatively easy this time.
After their first round of shooting failed, they knew from the sight of the approaching guards that the enemy wouldn't give them a second chance.
Discard the bow and arrows, raise the machete, and charge.
"kill……"
