On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 329 Chase 2
"If it's really what you think, dad, that would be the best." After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he took out the crossbow: "But we still have to be careful, just in case."

She doesn't take chances and instead prepares for the worst.

Xiao Boss could only let Xiao Lao Er rush to the front, then he jumped off the carriage and ran forward to ventilate the mule carts in front and behind.

The speed of the mule-drawn carriage was not as fast as that of the horse-drawn carriage.

What's more, their mule carts are all overloaded.

Unfortunately, after a while, although the two carriages were closer to the three mule carriages, they followed them leisurely, showing no signs of overtaking.

This is not normal.

Xiao Xiao was a little confused: "Could it be that I guessed wrong? Didn't we reveal the truth? Aren't they here to hunt us down?"

Jiang Yu wiped off the dirt on his face with a wet handkerchief, but his face became serious: "No, you guessed it right, they will definitely come to hunt us down."

Xiao Xiao was very surprised: "Then why don't you take action? Is it possible that killing someone depends on the time?"

Jiang Yu smiled bitterly: "Maybe the epidemic has made them scrupulous, and they are planning to wait until we are far away before taking action, so as to avoid the trouble of cleaning up afterwards."

Boss Xiao, who had his head in, was about to discuss with them. When he heard this, he showed murderous intent: "They only have two carriages, and there are only fifteen or six people at most. How about we strike first?"

Jiang Yu also spoke: "They have the task of guarding the city gate, and they can't send too many people. Besides, they really don't take us old, weak, sick and disabled seriously. It's possible that a small flag will lead people here." "

Boss Xiao nodded repeatedly: "That's right, they didn't even open the curtain of the last car to pass by. Didn't you know there were about ten people crowded inside?"

Holding Xiao Sanlang in his arms, Old Man Xiao huddled in the corner and said, "Even if there are only a dozen or so people, but they all know martial arts, I'm afraid they will be a tough nut to crack?"

"Then let's pay attention to our surroundings," Jiang Yu saw that Xiao Xiao didn't say anything and his father-in-law was not about to speak, so he continued: "If there is a hiding place, let's take the opportunity to hide and let the mule cart continue to move forward. , let’s make a sneak attack from behind, so we have a better chance of winning.”

Xiao Xiu also picked up the bow and arrow and said firmly: "I'm going too. Sanmei and I will shoot the driver one by one."

"If something happens to the driver, the people inside will definitely come out. It's impossible to know where the arrows were shot from. We can still take advantage of the opportunity to make a sneak attack and shoot every one we can."

Jiang Yu was worried: "We have enough manpower. Xiuer, you are pregnant, so you can just sit in the mule cart and go forward?"

After all, it is not certain how many rebels have come. If there are few people, it is okay. If there are many people, he and Hou Er will only be able to do some boxing and kicking. The rest can only rely on brute force. He is worried about Xiao Xiuliu. Will be injured next.

For the sake of Xiao Xiu and the child in her belly, Jiang Yu prepared for the worst.

Those who stayed would most likely suffer casualties, so of course he didn't want Xiu'er to stay.

But Xiao Xiu insisted: "I am in good health, and I want to do my best. I don't want to see you get hurt."

Boss Xiao was very pleased after hearing this: "It's good if you have this heart."

Then he quietly said: "You should go with your grandparents and your mother, right? With you here, we can rest assured."

Xiao Xiu also insisted on staying this time: "I have been practicing archery every day since I learned archery. I also want heroes to be useful."

Xiao Xiao admires her eldest sister very much. She looks gentle but has a tough temper.

She also spoke for her eldest sister: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her later."

Boss Xiao shook his head helplessly: "Then you all should be careful."

As for the carriage behind, it followed the mule carriage for more than ten miles.

They were all a little impatient: "Brother Cheng, look at them walking slowly, why don't we start earlier?" Xiao Qi also raised the car curtain and looked forward: "There are woods ahead, right there. Let’s do it.”

After that, he continued to eat pastries.

They also came here with this carriage. Who knew that the carriage was not only spacious, but also had a lot of pastries, which was a great advantage for them.

Seeing that they were about to reach the woods, they all wrapped their faces with vinegar-soaked towels, and then asked their fellow drivers to speed up and catch up.

But at the moment when they were about to catch up with the mule cart, the drivers on the two carriages before and after them all let out a scream: "Ah..."

Xiaoqi Ah Cheng also quickly picked up the knife: "Get out of the car, be careful!"

When they got out of the car, Jiang Yu and Hou Er rushed out with swords. Behind them were the men from Xutian Village, who also rushed out with swords and clubs.

The Xiao family relied on the large number of people and their desperate efforts, so the people who came to hunt them could not kill people as easily as cutting a melon.

The two sides began to fight. The Xiao family shouted loudly to fight and kill, but the rebels had no time to listen to the sound of arrows being shot.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiu secretly launched an arrow attack.

Of course, this also tests your eyesight. Otherwise, it would be bad if you miss the enemy and hit your own people instead.

Fortunately, they were not far apart at the moment. Boss Xiao had previously told everyone to crouch down and get away if they couldn't be beaten, so that the Xiao sisters would take action.

The people in Xutian Village had all seen the Xiao sisters’ archery skills, and they all readily agreed.

So when he was injured, he immediately fell down and rolled out. When the rebels wanted to catch up, an arrow flew over and hit him in the head.

There were only ten rebels, including the small flag.

At first, they killed the two drivers, leaving only eight people.

Three more people were injured by secret arrows from the Xiao sisters, and one person was killed each by Hou Er and Jiang Yu. The remaining four people panicked when they saw their comrades falling down screaming one by one.

Once people were frightened, they became less ruthless in their attacks. Soon one of them was killed by the Xiao brothers who cooperated tacitly, and two soldiers were beaten half to death by the men from Xutian Village.

The last one also died in the hands of two guards.

Jiang Yu didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

He originally thought that there might be casualties on his side, after all, the men in Xutian Village had no martial arts skills.

But the battle ended quickly, and there were really no casualties on their side. Even though three people suffered stab wounds, they were not fatal.

There were two other people who bruised their faces and hurt their legs when they were trying to avoid.

Jiang Yu and Hou Er also stopped the bleeding and bandaged them first.

"It's a pity that the carriage ran away." Boss Xiao glanced at the missing carriage and called to his younger brother: "You and I will clean up the battlefield together."

Xiao Xiao supported her sister and walked out of the darkness, not forgetting to tell them: "Father, second uncle, hurry up, we have to leave quickly."

"I'm afraid they won't wait until they get back and they will send people to chase them."

At this moment, Old Man Xiao and Xiao Erlang, who had left first in a mule cart and attracted their attention, came back in a carriage.

Old Man Xiao first looked at his children and grandchildren, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "We were in front. When we saw that there was no one on the two carriages, we tried to block them. Unexpectedly, we actually stopped them."
