Chapter 49: First Encounter with Horse Bandits

Jia Zhan suffered a loss in the first round. If it was a real spear fight, he would have been injured now. After the first round, the two turned their horses and attacked each other again.

The first round was a test, and Jia Zhan couldn't help but use all his strength in the second round.

His [Wild Wind Halberd] emphasizes opening and closing, mainly attacking. Hua Zichen has been on the defensive but still has a lot of ease.

Hua Zichen's spear skills are stronger than the opponent's, and his will is much stronger than the opponent's, which makes all the opponent's moves simple in his eyes.

After more than 30 moves, Jia Zhan felt more and more uncomfortable. Hua Zichen could easily resolve all his offensive moves, but Hua Zichen's occasional killing moves required him to spend too much energy and energy to resolve them. At this time, his energy has been almost used up, while Hua Zichen has only used more than 30% of his energy.

"No more fighting! I didn't expect that the Hua family would have a genius like you. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Hua family will be promoted to become a noble family within ten years." Jia Zhan's words were equivalent to admitting defeat. Hua Zichen would certainly not be reluctant to give up. If they were really on the battlefield, he could seriously injure the opponent in the first round, and the three of them would meet to end the battle.

The people in the Hua family caravan heard Jia Zhan's words clearly. If the Jia family said so, it was inevitable that the Hua family would become a noble family in the future. The Jia family would naturally get along with the Hua family on an equal footing in the future. The rise of Huajia Fort had become inevitable.

The audience below the Qidong realm of the Jia family thought that the two had fought to a draw, but those above the Qidong realm could see clearly that Jia Zhan had lost, and he was suppressed from the beginning.

At Hua Zichen's age, he can now fight Jia Zhan and win. In the future, he can at least reach the great perfection of the Qi training realm, and it is not impossible to enter the innate realm. This means that the Hua family will be in a strong period in the next hundred years.

After the competition, the Jia family became more enthusiastic about the Hua family. They completely put themselves on an equal footing with the people in Huajiabao, which made the Hua family very proud. People who were rarely seen in Guangxian before are now brothers with them, which makes them deeply feel the importance of family strength.

During the lunch break, Hua Kai asked Er Zhuang to send the last seriously injured person back to his caravan.

When the wounded person first entered the Hua family caravan, he was already in a dying state. Now, after more than 20 days of recuperation, he is not only out of danger but can also get off the car and walk by himself. Before leaving, he looked at the Hua family caravan reluctantly. During his time in the Hua family caravan, he felt an atmosphere completely different from that of his own family. The head of the Hua family loves his subordinates, and the atmosphere in the Hua family caravan is lively and everyone is full of vigor. Sometimes Hua Kai also faces jokes with a smile. If this happens to his own head of the family, it would be strange if he doesn't beat you half to death.

Hua Kai checked the loyalty of the departing team member and found that he had reached more than 40 points. He couldn't help laughing. If this servant stayed in the Hua family caravan for a few more days, he might become a member of the Hua family.

Today, "Three Kingdoms" talked about the Battle of Red Cliffs. Hua Kai made a major revision to the original plot. He described each major force in detail, which made the whole story of "Three Kingdoms" a three-dimensional struggle between aristocratic families. This seemed to be more in line with everyone's appetite. The whole plot was enriched. Hua Kai estimated that "Three Kingdoms" could allow him to expand it to more than 1.4 million words.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other first-class combat power generals in "Three Kingdoms" have all been described by him as Xiantian realm. Guan Yu is more powerful than Lu Bu at the beginning. He has reached the peak of Xiantian realm, holding the magic weapon Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and the red rabbit horse under his crotch. There is no opponent in the world.

Because everyone likes to hear stories about duels, and Guan Yu is the most popular, Hua Kai wrote Guan Yu to be even more powerful. He now wonders what everyone's expressions will be when he talks about Guan Yu losing Jingzhou and being killed by Lu Meng!

After lunch at noon, the people on the grassland were afraid to leave the tent because of the hot sun. The temperature difference between day and night in Linhu grassland at the end of April is very large, so the Guangxian merchant group only walks for three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon every day, so that the horses can walk more than 120 miles a day, and they can eat on the grassland to replenish their physical strength at other times.

All the caravans have more free time every day. Every time they rush on the road, the Han family no longer stops to wait. Those who are slow in pace will rush for more time. The distance between the Guangxian caravans is very wide, sometimes more than ten miles away.

In the afternoon, the Hua family was invited by the Jia family to practice horse formation charging together. Hua Kai was very happy to practice with the Jia family. The Hua family had too little experience in horse fighting. As a noble family, the Jia family followed Qi State to participate in national wars many times, and many people in their caravans had received regular cavalry training.

After an afternoon of training, the Hua family began to realize their shortcomings. In the past, the family rarely had strong horses, let alone fine horses! Now that the Hua family has enough war horses, it is time to add horseback combat training, which is very important whether dealing with grassland horse bandits or serving in the military in the future.

When it was getting dark, the slaves of the Hua family caravan were setting up tents. Hua Kai brought Hua Xuan to give him a brief introduction to the key points of [Sky Spear]. Hua Xuan seemed particularly serious.

Hua Xuan: Level 6 of the Qi Condensation Realm

Qualification: A

Constitution: 9

Strength: 6

Will: 12

Mental Method: Jingxin Jue (Yellow Grade Advanced Mental Method) Introduction

Spear Method: Sky Spear (Yellow Grade Advanced Spear Method) Not yet introduced

Loyalty: 79

In half a month, Hua Xuan's face became ruddy and he became more confident because he took Peiyuan Dan. He has already understood the Jingxin Jue, but it is not so easy to learn the Sky Spear. Someone must concentrate on teaching it. Generally, this is how family inheritance is passed down.

Hua Xuan is very satisfied with his current life. He no longer worries about being beaten or hungry. He only needs to complete the tasks assigned by the head of the family, and he can do whatever he wants, such as practicing martial arts.

Strength changes destiny, the basic principle of survival in this world. Hua Xuan remembered that he not only learned the Hua family's mental method in the past few days, but the head of the family also taught him the family's martial arts in person, which made him deeply realize that his destiny is completely different from before.

"You still need to practice more basic gun skills. Your gun skills are too poor. You can't miss 500 straight stabs every day. If you are tired, you can rest more and don't have to follow me all the time."

Hua Kai looked at Hua Xuan's swollen arm and had a love for him. Hua Xuan's loyalty increased by about 5 points every day. It slowed down after it rose to 70 points in the past few days. It is completely worthy of the family's vigorous cultivation.

He carefully explained the key points of [Sky Spear] to Hua Xuan. At this time, the Hua family members who went to train with the Jia family had not returned yet, and Hua Kai directed everyone to start cooking dinner.

The carriage carrying food was at the front of the team. Hua Kai quietly took out 30 kilograms of wild beast meat and put it in the carriage. Wei Baotou took the meat and saw that the meat was extremely fresh. He did not ask where the meat came from.

Every few days, the Hua family would inexplicably have wild beast meat to eat, and it was fresh wild beast meat. This was also the reason why the Hua family could continue to train so intensively.

Hua Xuan followed Hua Kai to command the slaves in front of him. These slaves did not resist his command at all, but were extremely respectful. In their opinion, being favored by the master was already a success.

These slaves have been with the Hua family for a long time and have become more and more spiritual. As long as they can complete the few tasks in a day on time, no one will ask them too much. Looking at the Hua family children practicing martial arts on horses in the distance, they all showed hope in their eyes.

When dinner was almost done, the Hua family came back one by one on horseback. Seeing their happy appearance, they must have gained a lot today.

"Just now, thanks to the Fifth Master suppressing their two Qi training realms, Yu Shusheng was able to break through the opponent's horse formation..." A member of the Hua family said loudly and happily.

"That's right, how could they stop our Fifth Master... This is because the old man didn't appear, otherwise the Jia family would have been killed!" The Hua family member had a swollen face and nose, and it was obvious that he was injured in the training just now.

"How dare you say that? The 7th level of Kaiyuan realm was defeated by the 2nd level of Kaiyuan realm of Jia family and fell off the horse. Your body was as stiff as a piece of wood when you got on the horse. Just now, the Jia family broke through from you. If Yu Shusheng hadn't made up for it in time, who knows who would win or lose!" Er Zhuang's face was also bruised. He pointed at the team member just now and said dissatisfiedly.

Today, the Jia family and the Hua family each sent 40 people to compete. Only two Qi training realms of the Jia family went out, but they were defeated by Hua Zichen and Yu Jun. High-end combat power can play a key role in a team.

"Stop talking, and eat quickly! After dinner, we will have a meeting to summarize the problems we encountered in today's training. Everyone must summarize their own problems, otherwise you can forget about listening to Kai'er's lecture." Hua Xing saw everyone making a fuss and stepped forward to say.

In the competition with the Jia family's horse formation today, Hua Xing gave the opportunity to Yu Jun, which made the Hua family slightly better, but in the final analysis, the Hua family's horse fighting experience was too poor, and most people could not play half of their strength after getting on the horse. This is what the Hua family needs to improve next.

In the morning of the next day, the Hua family was still training their horsemanship. In the afternoon, several other families in the merchant group also had to join the sparring lineup. At night, everyone in the Hua family went home dejected.

It turned out that the Ren family caravan added a Qi training master to the Jia family team today, so the Jia family lineup had 3 Qi training masters. Hua Xing still did not make a move this time. Hua Zichen and Yu Jun jointly suppressed the three Qi training masters of the other side, but the other members of the Hua family were defeated as soon as they came into contact with the other side. How badly the Hua family bullied the Jia family before, how badly they were bullied by the Jia family and the Ren family today.

In the following days, the Guangxian merchant group left the Linhu grassland area, and the Tai family and other caravan members joined the Hua family to fight against the Jia family. Everyone was playing a game of I win tomorrow and you lose the day after tomorrow, and they had a lot of fun.

And Hua Kai's horsemanship was getting better and better. He also occasionally joined the lineup for training, but as long as Hua Kai joined the Hua family, he lost more and won less each time, and he became a big weakness in the team!

In May, the grassland began to rain more. Every day at dawn, the rain stopped at 10 o'clock in the morning. The caravan began to change its work and rest habits. They all set out after 1 o'clock in the afternoon and walked until after 6 o'clock in the afternoon. This is the rhythm of the grassland business in May.

On May 10th, it had rained for two consecutive days. Everyone was hiding in the tent and did not come out. Even the horses began to dig the grass beside the tent impatiently. Hua Kai took a large sheepskin and wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carefully. He had written more than 300,000 words on such sheepskin. There were 7,000 or 8,000 words on each of the more than 40 sheepskins. When he returned to Huajiabao, he needed to re-transcribe all the sheepskins.

"Grandpa, why did you come back so early?" Hua Kai asked in surprise when he saw his grandfather on duty coming home at this time.

"Just now, the Han family saw a horse team in the west. It may be that we have been here for a long time and have been targeted by horse bandits. The Han family wants to send the "advanced emergency team" to check it out. They hope that the Hua family will let your fifth uncle or Yu Shusheng go one by one." Hua Xing said.

"Grandpa, you and Yu Jun go! If you encounter danger, send the news back as soon as possible, and don't be entangled by horse bandits!" Hua Kai urged.

After Yu Jun and Hua Xing left, all the caravans began to spread rumors that there were large groups of horse bandits ahead. The caravans began to move closer together, and it was not until the evening that Hua Xing and Yu Jun came back.

They told Hua Kai that they saw two caravans in Linzi City 40 miles to the west. They had now arrived at a Gobi Desert to rest, and more than a thousand horse bandits were wandering around them, wearing down their spirits bit by bit!

The Linzi caravan was led by a Xiantian Realm, but it was not enough to have a Xiantian Realm to deal with a large number of horse bandits. The Tian family planned to gather troops to give the horse bandits a heavy blow, but this was not easy.

The two caravans in Linzi City had about 3,000 people, and less than 2,000 soldiers who could fight. To drive them away, they had to have overwhelming forces, but as long as they sent a large number of troops, the other side would directly choose to escape. After the main force of the caravan left, they would split up and look for opportunities to raid the caravan goods.

This made the two major merchant groups in Linzi City very uncomfortable. Today, seeing that the Guangxian merchant group was not far from them, they planned to work with the Guangxian merchant group to deal a heavy blow to the horse bandits. Otherwise, when the caravan returns from the Xiongnu, it will be more dangerous if they bring more things.

"The Han family means that all the caravans in Guangxian will gather together and put all the main forces to solve the problem ahead. We only need to leave some people here to ensure that they will not be quickly broken by the horse bandits!" Hua Xing told Hua Kai the Han family's idea. Now they must set a rule. It would be best if they could give these horse bandits some color. In the future, they will have to think twice before moving the Guangxian merchant group.

Hua Kai agreed with the Han family's opinion. In fact, he couldn't disagree. The Han family's inquiry was just a gesture. Without absolute strength, no one dared to disobey the Han family's orders.

Hua Kai and his fifth uncle Hua Zichen stayed in the caravan. Grandpa brought Yu Jun, Hua Fu's housekeeper, Er Zhuang and 36 others to support the Linzi City merchant group with the Han family.

The 12 caravans of Guangxian Merchant Corps are now all gathered together. All the carriages form a circle of one acre. Only more than 300 people are left inside, staring at the west vigilantly, waiting for the outcome of the battle.

From morning to afternoon, the rain began to lighten. No news of the Guangxian Merchant Corps support team came from the west, and everyone began to panic.

Hua Kai was at ease with his writing. He liked writing more and more recently. In the past, he could only run [Quiet Heart Sutra] for two hours a day, and the speed of improving his true qi was as slow as a snail. Now he practiced [Basic Copywriting Skills] twice a day for two hours in the morning and evening, mainly practicing [Basic Copywriting Skills], which made Hua Kai's true qi improve nearly 10 times faster.

After dinner, Uncle Wu told Hua Kai that horse bandits appeared around the merchant corps. Some people realized that if the merchant corps was defeated, these horse bandits would attack them again. Many people began to fear.

Hua Kai was not worried. As long as the Tian family was in the Xiantian realm, the horse bandits would not be able to win, unless the horse bandits fought desperately with the merchant group. However, the merchant group was the main defender, and there were many strong horse bandits, so Hua Kai thought that there was basically no possibility of a decisive battle.

Until the evening, while all the caravans in Guang County were anxiously waiting, the Guang County support team finally came back!
