Chapter 146 Deeply rooted in people's hearts

The merchant group dared to continue to move forward with the 20,000 horse bandits following them, which forced the horse bandits to have a real fight with the merchant group.

Hua Xing watched 5,000 people slowly walk to 200 meters in front of him, organizing the formation to attack the 100 of them. He told everyone to pay attention, a fight was inevitable.

Not long after, the horse bandits organized everything and began to charge Hua Xing and others. When the distance between the two sides was only 100 meters, the merchant group knew that the horse bandits were really going to attack this time, so they stopped the carriage and established a defensive formation, and Hua Xing and the other 100 people also began to attack the enemy at this time.

Two thousand people collided with more than 100 people, and the imagined scene of the merchant group being directly submerged did not appear. The leader of the bandit group was only at the second level of Qi training. He was killed by Hua Xing's [Moonlight Spear] in a confrontation. In order to quickly kill the opponent and shock the bandit group, Hua Xing did not defend himself at all. The opponent's fourth-grade broadsword chopped him, and Hua Xing's body just shook. [Golden Silk Soft Armor] offset 90% of his damage.

The merchant group led by Hua Xing was like a boulder that blocked the flood of the bandit group's charge. The bandit group lost more than a hundred people in a confrontation. Although the number of the merchant group was small, their strength, weapons, and armor were more than one level stronger than the bandits. The bandit group did not approach the merchant group quickly. At this time, the merchant group had organized a defensive car formation. In the distance, 15,000 bandits were approaching the merchant group from the other side. Hua Xing saw this and organized people to retreat.

Eight Qi training realms held back the bandits who were chasing them continuously, and the others took the opportunity to leave the battle group and return to the car formation. Next, they might usher in a big battle, a battle that concerns the life and death of everyone.

Hua Xing, a Qi-training realm, was overwhelmed by thousands of horse bandits, but because the other side had no Qi-training realm masters, they had to use up all their Qi to kill them. I just don't know how many lives the horse bandits would have to pay to use up the Qi of eight Qi-training realm masters.

On the merchant side, 15,000 horse bandits had already started to contact the carriage formation. Countless horses crashed into the long spear formation of the carriages. There was a chaos in front of the carriage formation. Long spears kept stabbing out of the carriage formation, and people in the horse bandit group kept dying.

"Dad, the Chen family caravan's carriage formation seems to be unable to hold on!" After fighting for more than half an hour, everyone was killing and the carriage formation became a line of death. Countless horse bandits died in front of the carriage formation, and the merchant group, although there were casualties, was still able to keep the horse bandits out of the carriage formation.

"Xue Pan, you and Huang Guangwen go back to the formation to support first, and protect the chariot formation from being broken through." Hua Xing shouted loudly. At this time, they were almost unable to hold on. In this high-intensity battle, the eight of them did not remember how many horse bandits they killed, but these horse bandits always wanted to trap them to give the main force a chance to break through the caravan's defense line.

Although Xue Pan was an archer, even if he picked up a spear without using martial arts, the general Qidong realm was not his opponent. Hearing Hua Xing asking him to support the caravan, he quickly joined Huang Guangwen and began to approach the caravan.

Two Qi training realm masters returned to the caravan to support, and the Chen family quickly stabilized the front line. They had been paying attention to the opponent's Qi training realm masters, but after fighting for more than an hour, the opponent's Qi training realm did not appear. At this time, the horse bandit group finally couldn't hold on. Some horse bandits saw no hope of breaking through the car formation defense, and Hua Xing and others killed for an hour, killing more and more vigorously, without any sign of exhaustion, and they began to have the idea of ​​retreating.

The bandit group relied on a sharp spirit. As long as someone wanted to retreat, it would spread quickly to the entire group. They began to deliberately slow down the pace of attack and let others die as much as possible. Slowly, some people began to retreat. The entire group of bandits instantly began to retreat. In less than an incense stick of time, more than 10,000 remaining bandits began to retreat. The casualties of the Guangxian Merchant Corps were also not small. They had less than a thousand people and had no strength to pursue. Hua Xing led a hundred elite members of the merchant group and gathered a thousand war horses and watched the bandit group leave.

This battle seemed fierce, but in fact the casualties were not great. The bandit group had a total of more than 3,000 casualties, most of which were the results of the elite hundred-man group led by Hua Xing. The merchant group also had a total of nearly 100 casualties, and the number of injured was more than 200. It can be said that the combat power was reduced by half.

Fortunately, none of the eight Qi training realms were injured, and Hua Xing was not even slightly injured. This time they killed the morale of the merchant group.

The horse bandits who tried to test the Guangxian Merchant Corps saw that the other party was not easy to mess with, but they were unwilling to let him go. They still had more than 15,000 combat forces.

Hua Xing looked at the horse bandit group in the distance and smiled contemptuously. The merchant group had already killed the horse bandit group and believed that the other party would not dare to attack him again.

In fact, the reputation of all merchant groups was slowly killed in such battles. Today, the Guangxian Merchant Corps led by the Hua family withstood the attack of 20,000 horse bandits. This news will soon spread among the horse bandit forces. Whoever plans to attack them in the future will have to weigh their own strength. This is why the old merchant caravans generally rarely encounter any danger, and the more new faces there are in the merchant caravan, the more likely they are to be attacked by horse bandits.

When the Guangxian Merchant Corps saw the horse bandit group retreat, they packed up and hurried on their way. While the horse bandit group had just been defeated, the more distance they traveled, the higher the safety.

Hua Xing was right. The bandits followed the caravan at most a thousand meters away and dared not approach. Although they were unwilling to fail, no one was stupid enough to go and die.

In this way, the Guangxian caravan finally had no time to rest. They walked until dusk. They walked more than 70 miles a day and finally entered a rocky beach. This place was not conducive to the charge of war horses. The bandits did not dare to attack the caravan here. Everyone was relieved.

The Hua family lost three members this time, and several of them were seriously injured. Hua Xing secretly gave the injured people [Rejuvenation Pill]. Now all the caravans of the Guangxian caravan are burning the bodies of the fallen members. Several representatives of the caravans came to Hua Xing.

"Grandpa Hua, we finally entered the rocky beach this time. I think it will be difficult for the caravans to go to the Xiongnu grassland this year!" The leader of the Jia family said when he saw Hua Xing.

"Without the Xiantian Realm master from Linzi City leading the team this year, the difficulty of trading has increased several times. If it weren't for the eight Qi-training Realm masters, the caravan would probably have been broken by the bandit group. There may not be many caravans that can enter the Xiongnu Kingdom this year, and the price of goods will definitely be much better than last year." Hua Xing said.

The others nodded when they heard this. It is normal for caravans to have people die. As long as they can make more than ten times the profit this time and as long as the caravan is not damaged by more than half, everything will be profitable.

"I just don't know how the Han family will get through this hurdle this time. The Han family has only one Qi-training Realm master, leading more than 20 small caravans, which may not be enough to withstand the charge of the bandit group." Yue Jiateng thought of the other half of the Guangxian team and couldn't help but say.

"What do they have to do with us? If they can't come, just go back to Linhu Grassland! They have to bring the Shen family with them to slow down their progress. I think the Han family is going too far. Everyone in Guang County knows how powerful the Hua family is. Our county lord just can't see it. Now the Hua family is not much weaker than the Han family, but they don't even have the status of a noble family. Such a Han family is hard to convince the public!" Huang Guangwen complained about the Han family, but his eyes were fixed on the leader of the Jia family. When the head of the Geng family heard Huang Guangwen say this, he hurriedly expressed his attitude: "The Han family has lost face this year. It will be difficult to take the initiative in the Guangxian Merchants Group in the future. I don't know how the battle with Yan State went. If the Han family suffered too much loss this time..."

Geng's words were even more exaggerated, but everyone nodded after hearing it. The Hua family withstood most of the pressure to stop the horse bandit group this time. In the future, they must follow the pace of the Hua family. The fate of their family in the future may depend on the fight between the Hua family and the Han family, because this time the merchant group returns home, regardless of whether the Han family's business is successful or not, the Hua family will definitely increase in strength, and the conflict between the two families will be more difficult to reconcile.

"The Jia family and the Hua family are the most steadfast allies, and they will definitely stand on the side of the Hua family, but the Han family has the support of the Tian family behind them, so we can't do anything too much. If we force the Tian family to take action, all our families tied together are not enough to kill any one of the Tian family's Xiantian realm." The Jia family caravan reminded.

Everyone was showing their loyalty to Hua Xing. When they heard the leader of the Jia family say this, they couldn't help but nod their heads. They either had to slap the Han family to death or just endure it.

Everyone looked at Hua Xing and knew clearly that it might not be so easy for the Hua family to be promoted to a noble family.

In the next three days, although there were horse bandits and spies often appearing in the rocky beach, no horse bandits dared to attack the Guangxian Merchants Group in the rocky beach. Everyone had new horse carriages and it was not too bumpy to travel here. Last year, they could only travel about 30 miles a day, but now they can travel more than 70 miles a day. They were about to leave the rocky beach area when they found another horse bandit group of more than 10,000 people waiting not far ahead.

"All caravans keep a distance between each other, the 'emergency team' follows behind me, Xue Pan, you stay in the car formation and specialize in shooting horse bandits above the Qidong realm, everyone be careful and prepare." Hua Xing asked the merchant group to shorten the distance and move forward slowly as before. They acted as if they wanted to fight. The entire Guangxian Merchants Group was very confident when they saw the horse bandit group this time, after all, they had fought a larger horse bandit group.

Seeing the merchant group like this, the other horse bandit group sent a team of more than ten people to slowly walk towards the merchant group, apparently to negotiate with him.

The other side came with four Qi training realm, the strongest of whom was in the great perfection of Qi training realm, and kept staring at Hua Xing, wanting to test the strength of the merchant group first.

Yu Jun wanted to go on the field to fight when he saw this, he was also in the ninth level of Qi training realm, but Hua Xing stopped him.

Hua Xing planned to go on the field himself, he had [Flame] and [Moonlight Spear], and his combat power was much stronger than Yu Jun. As long as he could let the horse bandit group see his strength, perhaps this crisis could be easily overcome.
