Chapter 266: Grassland Bandits

Three days after leaving the Ordos tribe, Hua Kai crossed the territories of two large tribes and finally saw the Dongling Mountains. They traveled north along the Dongling Mountains for four days before entering the Linhu grassland.

Hua Kai has been to many grassland tribes in the past few years. He feels that each grassland tribe has its own style and characteristics! The style differences between grassland countries are even greater.

Hua Kai compared the three countries of Dayuezhi, Xiongnu, and Donghu. Dayuezhi has the strongest folk culture atmosphere. They generally rarely contact other tribes and rarely have conflicts with others. The management of small tribes by large tribes is mostly nominal. The dependence of each tribe is very weak, and herdsmen mostly live the most primitive and simple life.

The Xiongnu Kingdom is dominated by large tribes. All small and medium tribes survive hard under the wings of large tribes. Large tribes have special resources on the grassland. They divide the area and govern each other. Small and medium tribes are just the property of large tribes.

When arriving at Linhu Country, there are very few large tribes. Many small and medium-sized tribes here have cooperative relations with the Central Plains caravans, and many Central Plains cultures can be seen here.

When a caravan passes by, most tribes just go up to check if there are any good goods that they can eat, and then sell them to other tribes to make a profit. Many merchant groups that go to the grassland to trade basically stop here, so there are the most horse bandits here.

When entering the Linhu grassland, Hua Kai saw many horse teams appearing near them from time to time. The other party stared at the Hua family team to observe their strength. The Hua family's 10,000-man horse team has no carriages, and it is a difficult and unprofitable one. Therefore, generally few horse bandits are willing to attack them.

Two days have passed, and Hua Kai has seen more than ten horse bandit reconnaissance teams. Most of the horse bandit teams here are only a hundred people in size, and they only attack some weak caravans.

When Hua Kai got up early in the morning of that day, a member of the Hua family told him that there was a 2,000-man horse bandit group ahead, which was scouting them every half an hour. Perhaps they had seen that the Hua family's horse team was not strong and wanted to test them.

Two thousand elite cavalrymen had to deal with more than 10,000 mobs. As long as they were strong, they could slowly devour the other side. They might have seen that the Hua family's 10,000 cavalry did not have much combat power.

"Let all the slave teams move forward normally. We will go to meet this horse bandit group. If we don't show them their colors, they will pester you again next year." Hua Kai heard the report to the Hua family and said.

Most of these horse bandits are from nearby small and medium-sized tribes. They call this behavior hunting. Generally, the riding skills of the grassland tribes are much better than those of the Central Plains. With the same horses and strength, they are not afraid of enemies that are ten times their own. Sometimes they will cooperate when they encounter a hard bone, just like the horse bandits near the rocky beach of Linhu country.

Hua Kai rode a [Di Lu horse] and led 200 people from the Hua family to the front of the team. He saw a cavalry team of 2,000 people in front of him quietly looking at him from a distance. He was not afraid even after he approached 500 meters, as if waiting for them to send negotiators to negotiate with them.

Although the Hua family did not have many combat personnel, each of them was the elite of the family, especially Hua Kai himself as a Xiantian realm, how could he be afraid of the other party.

Hua Kai rode his horse to approach the other party, and looked at the several members of the Qi training realm behind him, and everyone immediately understood what he meant.

12 members of the Qi training realm followed behind Hua Kai and slowly approached the other party, looking like they were going to negotiate with the other party.

At this time, more than 20 people appeared in the other team. They seemed to be the leaders of their horse bandits, and basically everyone had a horse under their crotch.

Hua Kai approached calmly and found that there were two Qi training realms in the other team. No wonder they dared to attack a cavalry team of 10,000 people, because even if the cavalry team of 10,000 people was not strong in combat power, it was not something that ordinary horse bandits dared to provoke.

The negotiators from both sides approached slowly. Hua Kai looked at the people in the distance with a smile while holding the [Silver Spear]. The 12 Qi-training realm warriors of the Hua family were all standard [Silver Spear]. They rode war horses and followed Hua Kai. The other side seemed to find that Hua Kai and others were not right, but they didn't care. They didn't believe that these dozen people could pose any threat to them.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, Hua Kai urged [Di Lu Ma] to speed up. The first reaction of the other side's representatives when they saw this was to disperse and prepare to encircle. They planned to quickly eat Hua Kai's 13 people, and then compete with the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him.

[Di Lu Ma] was getting faster and faster. Hua Kai saw the position of the two Qi-training realm warriors on the other side and rushed towards them quickly. The other side did not expect Hua Kai to be so bold, and several people surrounded and killed him.

[Di Lu Ma] rushed towards the other side's crowd, and Hua Kai quickly shot and killed the strongest Qi-training realm warrior on the other side. The other side seemed to feel Hua Kai's strength and circulated the true qi of his whole body to resist.

Hua Kai's [Sky Spear] repelled the opponent with one move, and the opponent's face suddenly became white and almost fell off the horse. Hua Kai's second killing move was already here, and he saw the opponent's weakness and shot the [Silver Spear] directly at the opponent's neck.

The horse bandit leader wanted to resist, but his strength had not recovered yet, and he was pierced through the neck by the [Silver Spear]. He died at the hands of Hua Kai in just two moves.

At this time, the killing moves of other horse bandit leaders had already arrived, and an energy shield rose around Hua Kai. Unless he could cause a little damage to him in the late stage of Qi training, the attacks of these horse bandit leaders in front of him did not seem to be a threat to him.

He quickly shot and killed two more people. At this time, the opponent had already begun to find something wrong, and turned around to escape one by one. Hua Kai caught up with one person and killed him with another move. At this time, 12 Qi training people of the Hua family had already arrived.

Hua Kai killed four people in succession. Seeing that the horse bandit leaders began to flee in all directions, he aimed at the remaining Qi training realm leader and rode his horse to chase him. Anyone who dared to stop him on the road would die under his gun.

"Everyone, run away! They have Xiantian realm!"

At this time, a horse bandit leader shouted, and the whole horse bandit group suddenly began to be in chaos.

Xiantian realm is the strength of the patriarch of a large tribe. How could they provoke Xiantian realm? It was their bad luck to recognize the wrong target today. All the horse bandits planned to escape quickly at this time. They would never provoke the caravan escorted by Xiantian realm.

How could Hua Kai let the other party go? He saw that the last Qi training realm horse bandit leader was about to escape from the horse bandit group, and his legs tightened [Di Lu]'s body. [Di Lu] neighed and stepped into the air, chasing after the Qi training realm horse bandit leader.

The moment he saw Hua Kai riding his horse into the air, the Qi-training bandit knew that he would die today. A Xiantian realm was already abnormal enough, and you were riding a divine horse. How could people live? He ordered the surrounding bandits to attack Hua Kai together, but how could these ordinary bandits stop Hua Kai's attack.

After Hua Kai killed the Qi-training bandit leader, the entire bandit group began to be in chaos. More than 20 people who had originally gone to negotiate with the Hua family caravan were now almost all killed. The 12 Qi-training realms rushed into the bandit group like cutting melons and vegetables. People in the entire bandit group continued to die. At this time, 200 members of the Hua Kai guard team had also come, and the entire bandit group began to flee.

The Hua family would not miss such an opportunity. This year, let these bandits realize the strength of the Hua family. In the future, they will run away when they see the Hua family flag. Although the grassland bandits are greedy, they are shrewd!

When Hua Kai found that he had killed his way through the rear of the bandit group, the slave team had already begun to surround and collect prisoners. The bandit group of more than 2,000 people took less than two hours, and only more than 300 people escaped. Most of the remaining bandits were killed, and some were surrounded by tens of thousands of slaves, and finally had to choose to surrender.

Seeing that the slaves were already cleaning up the battlefield, Hua Kai returned to the Hua family team and all the family members gathered around him. Although the Hua family had only more than 200 real combat forces, they directly broke through the formation of more than 2,000 bandits, and more than ten people were injured, but no one was killed.

What Hua Kai didn't expect was that the bandits had already been defeated in the end. More than 10,000 slaves came up to surround more than 1,000 bandits, but more than 200 were injured and 80 were killed. The slaves' combat power was really terrible.

Hua Kai wanted to draw some combat forces from each slave brigade to form an elite team, so that he could better deal with the next danger, but he finally thought about it and gave up. The main force of the slave team was withdrawn, and the slave team's combat power would only be lower. If they really encountered danger, they would easily form a trend of defeat, which was the most terrible for the entire slave team.

In this battle, the Hua family captured more than 800 horse thieves and more than 1,500 intact horses. The reason why there were so many captives was entirely due to the action of Hua Kai, who was in the innate realm. After the victory of this battle, many slaves saw Hua Kai with admiration in their eyes, and the loyalty of the entire slave team increased a lot.

With the increase of loyalty, the cohesion of the entire slave team also increased. At night, they set up tents a lot faster.

Dinner was barbecue. In this battle, there were thousands of dead and injured horses seized. Now all the injured horses were killed and piled together. Hua Kai would give them to Xue Chen and his fifth uncle at night. So much horse meat was enough for everyone to eat for several days.

"Master, a total of one BMW, 597 fine horses, 915 strong horses, and 32 nags were seized. In addition, some weapons were seized. How should we deal with these horse bandits?" A family servant came to Hua Kai and said.

"Feed the horses well, and all the horses below the steed will be assigned to the slave team. More horses will help them travel faster. Keep the captives first! If a tribe wants to redeem them, let them go." Hua Kai said.

The relationship between the horse thieves, tribes and caravans in Linhu grassland has played out too many stories here. Hua Kai does not want to change anything. Let these horse thieves leave, and the Hua family's reputation in this grassland will grow from now on. It will be safer for their flags to pass through here in the future.

The next day, the Hua family cavalry continued to set off. Soon Hua Kai saw people dressed as tribal herdsmen following them not far away. Hua Kai asked the family servants to contact them.

The other party was indeed from the surrounding tribes. They asked someone to contact the Hua family caravan and ask about the possibility of redeeming the captives.

Hua Kai handed this matter to the family servants. Most of the more than 800 captives were only in the Tempering Body Realm, and there were only about 200 people above the Kaiyuan Realm. The ransom was at most a few thousand gold. The number of Hua Kai's direct personnel was too small, and the family servants must play an increasingly important role in the Hua family in the future.
