We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Li Che had no intention of answering the little girl's inner questions at the moment.

Arrows filled the sky like a swarm of locusts, attacking the convoy in a black mass.

Looking back, the overwhelming arrows had already shot the carriage crookedly.

Li Che's frame was the first to be hit and became the focus of the rain of arrows. Almost one-third of the arrows fell on the car.

The driver was sitting on the carriage with an arrow stuck in his neck and blood constantly spitting out of his mouth. It was obvious that he was beyond saving.

Li Che's eyes fixed, and he no longer hesitated. He pulled Qiu Wen up, dodged the flying arrows, and escaped from the range of the carriage.

"Don't panic, Your Highness. I'm coming!"

A roar came, but the sound arrived before the person arrived.

Hu Qiang strode forward quickly, standing in front of Li Che like an iron tower.

He held a large wooden board in his hand, which he got from somewhere, and kept using it to block the incoming arrows.

Looking at Hu Qiang's tall figure, Li Che felt inexplicably at ease.

Looking at the convoy again, after being attacked by a rain of arrows, the convoy had begun to fall into chaos.

In the chaos, he saw many civilians falling to the ground after being shot by arrows, with blood staining his vision red, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

He shouted sternly, "Enemy attack, don't panic!"

Someone saw Li Che and was immediately shocked:

"His Highness is here, protect Him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several slaves who had just collapsed on the ground in fear actually gritted their teeth, stood up, and moved closer to Li Che.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will never let these bandits hurt you!" someone shouted while trembling.

More and more slaves gathered, and together with the criminal army guarding them, they soon gathered dozens of people.

Dozens of people used their flesh and blood to build a human wall, protecting Li Che tightly in the center.

Looking at these loyal faces in front of him, Li Che felt mixed emotions.

Unconsciously, I have gained so much loyalty.

And I didn't give them anything in return, I just gave them freedom and the right to have enough food to eat every day.

At this moment, the rain of arrows finally stopped, with only a few scattered arrows falling into the caravan.

Li Che looked around and saw figures flashing through the forest. The leaves of the entire forest were shaking and countless birds were startled away from the forest.

When I moved my sight to the edge of the forest, I saw a burly, one-eyed man holding a large ghost-head sword. He walked out slowly and said in a loud voice:

"Kill me!"

Before he finished speaking, a group of bandits emerged from behind him.

For a moment, the whole mountain was filled with the crazy and excited roars of the bandits.

Bandits in tattered clothes, holding sharp weapons, rushed out from all directions and attacked the convoy!

"Attention, entire army, stay calm and act according to the plan!" Li Che gave the order in a deep voice with a sharp gaze.

Upon hearing Li Che's order, the soldiers woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly called on the laborers and slaves to get up.

The carriages were driven to the edge of the mountain road and connected end to end to form a line of defense.

The soldiers took out simple shields made of wooden boards from under the carriages and placed them at the forefront of the line.

Behind the shields, the laborers and slaves held spears, and although their bodies trembled uncontrollably with fear, they still tried to stand in a straight line.

Seeing the bandits getting closer and closer, the soldiers at the front swallowed their saliva and tightly grasped their simple shields with their sweaty hands.

Then, he heard Li Che's calm and decisive command from behind him:

"Yu!"

Li Che's words were like a reassurance, and the soldiers subconsciously raised their shields as ordered.

shhhhh--

When the shields fell, the soldiers made up their minds and raised their shields to charge at the bandits who were close at hand.

boom--

The bandits crashed heavily into the front line like a flood.

The bandits in the front row were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground by the soldiers' shields, and chaos suddenly broke out on the periphery of the line.

"prick!"

Li Che's order sounded again.

The civilians and slaves behind him were already nervous, with Li Che's orders echoing in their minds, and they instinctively thrust out with the spears in their hands.

A cold light flashed, like a meteor falling to the ground, and the spear beams instantly pierced the fallen bandits, and wailing sounds came one after another.

Due to the lack of experience of the civilians, some unlucky bandits were even pierced by seven or eight spears at the same time and instantly turned into blood gourds.

"receive!"

After receiving Li Che's order again, the civilians retracted their spears and retreated behind the soldiers, panting.

Although the coordination was unfamiliar, the effect was very significant.

The bandits rushed forward in a chaotic manner, but not only failed to shake the front line, but also left hundreds of corpses.

Li Che appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was beating like a drum.

My ex-girlfriend who studied history did not lie to me.

When it comes to commanding non-elite troops in ancient times, things like the Bagua Formation, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation are actually useless.

The soldiers lack tacit understanding and courage, so naturally they will not cooperate. Forcibly using the formation will have side effects.

In this situation, the commander only needs to give the simplest orders and keep the army in order.

After hundreds of their companions were stabbed down by the Ninggu army, the bandits behind them were suddenly frightened and stopped moving forward.

"A bunch of cowards!" The strong man glared and cursed:

"What are you all standing there for? There are only a few of them on the other side. What are you afraid of? Come on, everyone!"

Seeing that the bandits were indifferent, the strong man was so angry that he raised his ghost-head sword and killed several bandits who were hesitating.

Dozens of armored bandits appeared behind the burly man. These people were obviously different from ordinary bandits. They were full of murderous aura and were the trusted bandits under Fan Chong.

Dozens of people, holding sharp blades, lined up in a row.

When he saw some bandits retreating out of fear, he walked up to them and stabbed them without saying a word.

After killing more than ten people in a row, the bandits finally realized that retreat would lead to death, and they all stopped.

"Listen up to me," the one-eyed burly man shouted. "Go in, kill all the men, and take all the women away. I'll allow you to have some fun too."

"If you make this deal, you'll have good food and wine when you return! If anyone dares to hesitate, don't blame me for being indifferent to anyone!"

The fear of death and the desire for wine and women came at the same time.

The bandits' eyes suddenly lit up red and they rushed forward again.

This time, there were more bandits rushing up, and it looked like a dark mass everywhere.

Li Che looked around and saw a large number of bandits rushing towards the convoy like a black tide.

He quickly ordered the front-line soldiers to form a formation with shields, while the militiamen in the rear attacked with spears.

However, the bandits continued to fight, and although the bandits in the front row suffered heavy losses, the bandits in the back row had already reached them.

Shouts, wails, and the clashing of weapons filled the air, and Li Che's command was drowned out by the deafening waves of sound.

The two sides engaged in a desperate fight, and the official road was dyed red with blood.
