Chapter 765 Caught Up

After being浇筑 (jiāo zhù, infused) with blood, the woman seemed to be casting a spell. Then, they brought a large piece of snow to cover the black-armored man, and the woman began casting spells again.

Finally, the snow turned into ice, freezing the black-armored man again, but this time the red inside the ice was very bright.

"Using ice as insulation, afraid of spoilage?"

Xue San muttered to himself.

It was precisely because the team had to carry a large ice lump that their speed was inevitably slow, and the team's attrition was already very serious.

After doing all this, the team didn't delay and continued westward, leaving many wounded in place.

"They're escaping, but such an exaggerated and costly escape, is because..." Xue San twisted his neck and stood up from the snow. "Combining it with the previous military crossbows, it's because someone in the west will meet them?"

He couldn't wait any longer; he had to act.

…

The starry sky in the snowfield was very pure. Perhaps the reason why the wild men formed a belief in the stars was because, in this harsh living environment, gazing at the stars was a kind of comfort that was difficult for most wild men to obtain in other aspects of their lives.

And under this beautiful starry sky, a dwarf was directing his men to set up an ambush.

Dai Li didn't quite understand; the ambush location was too far away, but these people were long accustomed to Master San's authority, and no one dared to question him.

Xue San specifically instructed:

"Remember, the ice block pulled on the sled of that team seals a master. If the ice breaks and that guy runs out after the attack, don't fight him head-on; quickly form a battle formation and retreat.

That thing is like the pills sold in brothels; powerful for a moment, then it withers.

Alright, each to your positions; wait for my signal."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Xue San once again moved forward alone to reconnoiter. The team had to stop after nightfall. The snow wolves couldn't run anymore, and the horses were exhausted as well. They had to stop and catch their breath; otherwise, they would really have to rely on human power to pull the sled, but the problem was that the people were also exhausted.

This team had traveled a long distance for a long time before Xue San discovered them. During this time, they had experienced several attacks, and the endurance of both humans and animals had reached their limits.

The remaining people in the team began to stand guard on the periphery, while inside, they were all gathered around the sled. Due to a lack of manpower, they couldn't form a layered defense.

And tonight, there would inevitably be another assassination attempt, which was something both sides were clear about.

After Xue San lurked closer, he didn't dare to go any deeper, but instead buried himself in the snow, concealing his aura.

He waited quietly for about an hour when he heard the "buzzing" sound again.

Xue San under the snow smiled and placed his hand on the leather drum at his waist.

The message being transmitted around roughly meant reconnaissance.

Obviously, the repeated attacks had not only caused heavy losses to the team but also to the attacking side, and they had also lost many Star辰接引者 (chen jie yin zhe, Star Receiver).

In this long pursuit, both sides had shed too much blood.

Most importantly, they were very afraid of the existence in the ice.

The simple exchanges were mostly about observation and deployment, and the information released was also very simple.

Xue San frowned slightly.

What's going on?

You guys aren't planning to attack?

That won't do; you're not ready, but I am.

Xue San began to beat the drum.

In fact, this kind of information transmission is very simple; the prelude is the level, and the back is the command or the situation.

Xue San didn't know what their level titles were, but thanks to the last time the attacking side launched an attack, he remembered the expression of the highest level giving orders.

Soon,

with Xue San's drum sound,

in the ears of those people,

it was like a new order being issued:

"The Great Elder commands... attack!"

For a moment, these people were stunned. They only had a few people. Tonight they were supposed to observe the situation. Why did they suddenly attack?

"The Great Elder commands... attack!"

"The Great Elder commands... attack!"

The order to urge the attack was still being issued.

Finally, someone rose from concealment, holding a knife, and charged down with a shout.

Immediately, the others also got up and charged down.

The team was alarmed and immediately prepared to defend, but only a dozen or so people charged down sporadically.

The military crossbows in the team fired, and soon, most of them fell to the ground, and the rest began to retreat.

An attack that seemed like a farce began and ended like this.

However, the chain reaction triggered by this was that a team of people riding horses rushed over from the other side. There weren't many of them either.

They were obviously drawn by the attack of their own people and also charged out, then began to toss and shoot, and their momentum was quickly dispersed, and they began to move around.

Before long, on the other side, a team of dozens of cavalrymen charged out.

The saying "pull one hair and the whole body moves" described the scene at this time.

But sometimes, miracles can suddenly happen, such as this second wave of cavalry, which did not encounter too much resistance and directly rushed into the team, then began to slash and kill.

This was very interesting. The attacking side, which had been confused, saw this situation, and people from other places also emerged, beginning to launch a chaotic attack on the team.

The efficiency was very low, the incident was sudden, and the casualties were heavy, but precisely because of a moment of negligence, the gap in the team was widened, and the two sides fought together.

Xue San stuck his head out of the snow again and put away the leather drum. He hadn't expected this scene either.

It could only be said that both sides were at the end of their ropes, and the team's degree of weakness was much greater than expected.

But at this moment, the woman jumped onto the ice block pulled by the sled again.

When she jumped up, the attacking side immediately became demoralized. Obviously, they had recalled the horror of being dominated by the black-armored man in the ice that day.

However, it wasn't enough to say they were directly scared into collapse. At the very least, they had to let that black-armored man stand up once more.

And the people defending on the team's side were actually waiting for their side to make a move.

For a time,

everyone was fighting somewhat absentmindedly, and even in a few places, they tacitly opened up a distance, all waiting for the results on the sled.

The woman seemed to be hesitating, but the current stalemate prevented her from waiting any longer.

Therefore,

after taking a deep breath, she placed her palm on the ice block again and began to chant incantations.

"Crack... crack..."

Cracks began to appear in the ice.

The attacking side began to disengage on a large scale and was even preparing to retreat.

"Bang!"

The ice block exploded.

Xue San remembered that the last time the ice block cracked, the force was terrible, and the woman was directly blown away, but this time, the woman was able to jump down calmly.

The black-armored man broke through the ice and woke up again.

He took the knife,

stood up,

his eyes flashing red, scanning the surroundings.

Finally, the attacking side collapsed first and began to flee.

The team still didn't pursue;

Xue San quietly continued to stare at the situation in front, and just at this moment, the black-armored man suddenly turned his face to the direction where Xue San was hiding, and his gaze also fell over.

He had discovered him!

The black-armored man raised his knife. As an assassin, Xue San had the illusion of being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Damn, careless!

The black-armored man took a step and walked in Xue San's direction.

However, it might be because of the reverse奶 (nǎi, buffing) effect; it actually worked. The black-armored man had just taken a few steps when the knife fell down, and his body also leaned forward, face down, falling to the ground.

"Phew..."

And the others in the team obviously didn't know what the black-armored man meant; they just immediately surrounded the black-armored man and prepared to pile snow on him again, preparing to freeze him again.

Xue San also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still waiting, waiting until the woman began to recast the spell for freezing. After Xue San confirmed that there was no pitfall, he pulled out the fire letter and raised it.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of whistling was heard.

Immediately, a group of Pingxi侯府 (Pingxi Marquis's Mansion) yamen runners trained by Xue San himself and equipped with excellent equipment began to run quickly. They were in teams of three, each with bows and crossbows.

This team, if placed in the martial world, could easily destroy a sect because they were true killers. Even if their strength wasn't as strong as yours, even if their realm wasn't as high as yours, they were better at killing people and understood what cooperation meant.

The gang who had attacked the team several times before seemed to have a lot of people, but in reality, they were very chaotic.

Master San took a deep breath and pressed his hands down, preparing to go down and reap heads.

In his opinion, the outcome was already doomed.

However,

at this moment,

a burst of horse hooves suddenly came from the periphery. The hooves were very rapid and dense.

Immediately afterward, a group of cavalry appeared from the west. A rough sweep could confirm that the scale was thousands, or even more.

The team immediately cheered. Obviously, this was what they had been desperately running for, regardless of exhaustion and committing the great taboo of military strategists. The team that was coming to meet them had arrived!

Xue San opened his mouth wide. At this moment, he felt like a villain in a movie. Just when he was confidently about to take everything, reality rushed up and slapped him hard in the face.

And the team cheered, and many people were still crying. Obviously, they were finally saved, at least, that's what they thought.

Xue San was a little embarrassed now. He could choose to escape immediately; he hadn't fallen into the battle yet. Now, if he escaped with the help of the terrain, he had a high probability of escaping alive, but this also meant that the subordinates he had brought would have to be basically explained here. Master San was a little reluctant.

At this moment,

from another direction, a burst of horse hooves also came, with a neat rhythm and beat, and at the same time, the stern sound of armor colliding and rubbing.

A man riding a Pixiu walked to the front of the formation,

smiled slightly at a swordsman on horseback beside him,

and said:

"Oh, caught up."
