First Emperor Rebirth

Chapter 228 1 It's Too Late

"Who are you? Do you know that this is the county government transport convoy? Leave quickly, or the county magistrate will blame you for not being able to afford it."

Ten miles to the east of Huxiang, a convoy of twenty vehicles carrying goods was stopped by bandits. The flags of the Huxiang County Government were planted on the carriages of the caravan. In addition to thirty drivers, there were fifty other casual escorts. The city guards dared to intercept them under such circumstances, and they made it clear that they planned to fight against the county government.

On March [-]th, it has been eight days since the last time several cases occurred in one day in Huxiang. In these eight days, under the strong means of the county magistrate Yingzheng, three theft cases have been solved. The city guards have also found traces of the bandits who ransacked the town, and are currently chasing them down.

There are various indications that Ying Zheng has already focused all his attention on the outside of the city at this time. At present, the vigilance in the city has reached the lowest point in history.Qin Yue once tried to send someone to deliver a blank letter to the slums in the south of the city, but Ying Zheng didn't notice such a move, which made Qin Yue overjoyed, so he immediately passed on the word and started the second action.

And just at this time, the hidden stake in the city brought another piece of good news. On March [-]th, a batch of supplies purchased by the county government from a neighboring county will be shipped over.When Qin Yue got the news, he couldn't help but immediately deploy manpower to implement the plan.

This time, the leader of the team is Shadow Thorn, Xin Zhao. All the Shadow Thorns in the Huxiang area have been summoned, with a total of more than 100 people. In addition, Qin Yue borrowed [-] Shadow Thorns from neighboring counties, forming a lineup of [-] people. Pretty strong.

"Hmph, I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and I don't look at the situation around me. I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I say such big words. Let me tell you, what I do is to lose my head, and I am afraid of getting caught."

Xin Zhao was dressed in black, with a red silk scarf wrapped around his right arm. Standing forward, he felt as if he was standing on an iron tower. The bulging muscles in his hands were very intimidating.

Xin Zhao's words were very long-winded, which was quite different from his previous performance in front of Qin Yue. He also lost the humility of the past, and had a little more arrogance and arrogance.This is indeed the temperament that a bandit should have, and Xin Zhao can be regarded as acting by nature.

The leader of the city guards was a Dubo, and all fifty city guards were his subordinates. After several times of encirclement and suppression by bandits, these low-level officers at least had a lot of instinctive reactions, and their fighting awareness also increased. Quite a lot.The implication of Zhao Xin's words is obvious, that is, it must be snatched.

Obedience to orders is a soldier's bounden duty, and the Dubo's mission is to escort the cargo back to the city safely without any loss.

Therefore, the only choice now is to fight. Du Bo didn't speak, but his soldiers had already guessed what he meant. Without Du Bo's instructions, fifty soldiers quickly prepared for battle, and the people who pushed the carriage were also very good. With experience, when he saw the bandits in front of him blocking the way, he quickly moved the carriage closer to the middle. The entire team was shortened by more than half in a very short period of time, and it was much easier to take care of the fifty city guards.

After all the arrangements are completed, Du Bo is not in a hurry.It is only ten miles away from Huxiang, and it is completely within the detection range of the city guards. As long as you persist for a while, reinforcements will be sent to rescue from the city.

For comrades-in-arms, all the city guards have strong self-confidence. As a member of the city guards, they used to be proud of this group, and they are now.

"Are you planning to stick around and wait for help? Since I dare to fight here today, then it must be settled." Xin Zhao looked at the city guards who had no plans to attack, and immediately guessed what they were thinking. , Said triumphantly.

Not only showing off yourself, but also hitting the morale of the enemy, why not do such a thing?

The face of Du Bo, the leader of the army, changed, he was guessed what was in his heart, a little unnatural.Those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come, it seems that this sentence is really true.

"Hmph, so what if you've got it right? With this kind of people, you're going against the hundreds of city guard brothers in Huxiang. You're getting impatient, hang yourself for fun."

Du Bo stiffened his neck and said in a low voice, at this time, the leader who can't be messed up is him.

He is now the backbone of the army, the only pillar before reinforcements arrive, everyone present is watching him, his words and deeds will affect the entire battle situation, so Du Bo can only force himself to calm down, See tricks and split tricks.

It's not that Du Bo didn't think about counter-charging. There was absolutely no way that the fifty city guards would lose against the fifty bandits in front.However, the civilian husbands behind the city guards are in danger. These people have not received professional training at all, and it is really worrying to deal with the bandits.

Hearing this, Xin Zhao said extremely viciously: "I have given you a chance today, since you don't know how to cherish it, then I can't blame you."

After finishing speaking, a Shadow Assassin member pretending to be a bandit next to Xin Zhao put his hand in his mouth, and blew hard, and there was a very crisp whistling sound.The howling sound fell, and twenty bandits appeared on the left and right sides of the official road.

Seeing this, Du Bo's face changed greatly. It turned out that everything was planned long ago.

"Aren't you afraid of the retaliation of the county magistrate when you do this?" Du Bo had no choice but to bring up Yingzheng as an example. Buy some time.

"Haha, haha," Xin Zhao laughed exaggeratedly, his shoulders kept twitching, his chest heaved one after another, as if he had heard the best joke in the world, tears almost fell down at the end of the laugh. "Since I did it, I will never regret it. You don't need to use Ying Zheng to suppress me."

Du Bo was helpless, he knew it was useless to say anything today.He couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, thinking of the task given to him by the county captain before leaving, Du Bo thought that even if he risked his life here today, he would never let these supplies fall into the hands of bandits.

"Put the convoy outside and form a circle. The city guards enter the middle, and all the porters enter the innermost layer to receive the protection of the city guards."

After thinking about it, Du Bo made a decision. With so many things in stake, he had to think carefully if he wanted to have a good fight.

Before Du Bo's words fell, several cold lights suddenly burst out from both sides of the road and flew towards the city guard army at an extremely fast speed. Although the sound of piercing the sky woke up the city guard soldiers, it was too late after all. , When he reacted, Yu Jian was already on his body, and he wanted to hide, but he had no choice.

Phew, just a sneak attack, the city guards went up and injured three people slightly and two seriously.

"How come there are archers here?" Du Bo growled with his eyes wide open, and the look in his eyes seemed to choose someone for his liking, which was very scary.

"Isn't it a surprise? But, it's too late, everything is too late."

Xin Zhao smiled triumphantly, and waved his hands to order all his subordinates to attack.
