Chapter 436: How to Break Through

The chasing guys didn't know that in fact, Cheng Ziyu's side only found three ropes in total.

But they made the most of the three ropes.

After the second rope was pulled out, Cheng Ziyu's people began to retreat, in order to ensure that everyone could leave, the third rope was a cover to trick the other party into slowing down. So it's not that the pursuers are cautious and don't trigger the third rope, it's that they don't intend to pull the third rope at all.

At this time, Cheng Ziyu and their people had already retreated, but in the eyes of the people of "Little Five", the sudden silence was even more strange, and the more they were unaware, the more they felt that there might be a trap and did not dare to rush to speed up.

Afraid of falling into the trap, they shot arrows behind the trees in front of them as they went, and walked dozens of kilometers like this, and only continued to speed up after not finding any sneak attacks.

But as soon as they tossed like this, they had already fallen behind Cheng Ziyu for a long distance......

By this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the last light in the sky would be swallowed up by darkness.

They accelerated.

They knew very well that Cheng Ziyu's carriage in front of them was very close to them, and Li Chun should not be too far away from this side. Their task is to deliberately shout and silence, and then kill a few people before Li Chun arrives, seriously injure Cheng Ziyu and Mrs. Lin, and create a shocking scene......

The opponent's defense has become more and more perfunctory, and the opponent will cut down three or five trees and place them side by side, making them an obstacle that they must dismount and move the trees or the horse will never be able to cross in one step.

But at this point, there would only be a broken tree or two across the road from time to time, and their horses would jump over it with a slight leap...... The other party is clearly a little powerless.

Soon, they will be able to complete the task.

They were a little smug.

Lo and behold, another broken tree appeared in front of me.

The horses clamped the belly of the horses, lifted the speed, and the horses kicked on their hind legs, and even the people and horses jumped over easily......

Mere trifle.

Naturally, they didn't expect that the other party had prepared a third line of defense here.

The horse stumbles!

The vacant horse was in urgent need of a focus point, and the two forepaws were just about to land on the ground, but they just touched the ground, but suddenly fell flat.

Stepped on the air.

A large pit appeared.

The front foot is empty, but the back foot that can be retracted by jumping is still in the air at the moment.

The consequences can be imagined......

After judging that there would be a pursuit, Cheng Ziyu and their entire convoy had made detailed plans and were preparing all the way.

Because he noticed that no one was following him after leaving the city, Liang Dahe Fengxing went to a nearby village as fast as possible to collect seven or eight shovels for retention.

At the first time when Fengxing observed the menacing of the other party, nearly half of the entire convoy continued to protect the carriage forward, and the remaining dozen or so people had already found their positions according to the existing plan.

Except for a few of them who pulled the ropes, they quickly found the ambush place, and the remaining ten or so men beat their horses as fast as they could, found the narrowest part of the road and began to dig a hole.

There was the tools, the speed, the determination, and the brothers in the back trying to gain time, and they naturally did their best.

They didn't have specific requirements, they just wanted to dig the pit as deep and wide as possible. Ten practitioners who have the strength to do light exercises work together, and the effect of nearly half a tea time is also extraordinary.

When the first group of brothers to pull the rope returned, they knew that the other party was not far away, and they hurriedly cooperated to finish it together...... At this time, with their efforts, they had dug a large pit about a foot deep and more than half a foot wide.

The severed log was stopped one foot in front of the pit, and everything was done. In order to jump over the beam, the opponent will definitely step into the pit!

Although the difference of more than one foot may not seem large, the effect of walking and falling into the trap and jumping up and falling into the trap is naturally different! It will definitely have the effect of doing more with less.

Suddenly, whether it is a horse or a person, it is normal for bad luck to break a leg or foot.

Of course, in order to ensure the threat, Cheng Ziyu also prepared a lot of small wooden sticks with pointed tips in the shape of bamboo shoots and inserted them firmly into the soil early......

"Little Bamboo Shoots" was proposed by Cheng Ziyu after the action was arranged, with Liu Er as the main force, and Mrs. Lin and Cheng Ziyu working together.

When she was in Ningbo City, Cheng Ziyu thought about buying some weapons such as bows and arrows that could be used for sneak attacks, but she was afraid of being followed by fake Xiaowu's people, so she exposed her intentions.

She had pretended to be fooled to "believe" that Wan Er and the Xu family were the masterminds of the detention incident, so it was reasonable for her to find someone to escort her back trip or buy a sword to protect herself. But it would be wrong for her to buy a hidden weapon bow and arrow, it would not be a defense but an active offense.

It is very likely that the other party will suspect that she has seen through the whole situation, knowing that everything is a false accusation, and they will be hunted down and killed. If that is the case, the other side will definitely show no mercy and will carry out a real killing of all of them.

However, this does not prevent them from uniting together and striving to use their own abilities and strength to extricate themselves from difficulties.

Especially the three people in the carriage, they also wanted to do something.

There are many trees on both sides of the road after leaving the city.

So Cheng Ziyu let Feng Xing, who climbed the tree all the way, find the right slender and tenacious branches to collect some of them. She and Mrs. Lin helped to select and cut the materials, and Liu Er came to do the sharpening work.

After a few quarters of an hour, they made dozens of small bamboo shoots, and later Mrs. Lin's mother-in-law and Xia Wei, who followed the window on horseback, also came to help, and finally made up about 100 finished products. At that time, they thought that the worst thing was that these small pointed sticks could also be used as secret weapons, and they could be used as much as they could.

So after finding out that he was being pursued, the little bamboo shoot was arranged......

When Fengxing and Liang Da returned, the pit had been covered up, and everyone had disappeared, each in its place, just waiting for the other party to take the bait.

On the pit surface, a few "well" shapes were set up horizontally and vertically with branches, and then the felt cloth taken from the carriage and the horse was spread on the pit surface one by one, so that the cloth would not collapse with the support of the branches.

Finally, the cloth strips were sprinkled with gravel, crushed mud, leaves, and dead branches, and the surface was decorated with little difference from the normal road surface.

With the help of the night, where will the other party in the fast march see the strangeness of the ground.

In this way, the other party stepped in smoothly.

The horse's feet suddenly stepped into the air, the horse lost its balance, and the high-speed abrupt stop, and the huge force of the forward rush even led the man and the horse into the pit......

The horses that followed closely behind did not have time to stop suddenly, some of them hit the hips of the horses in front of them, and some of them also stepped into the air with one foot, stepped into the deep pit, and stepped on the people and horses that fell in front of them, and the horses stepped on the horses, and the horses trampled on people, all of them were in chaos......

The people in the pit turned over on their backs, and the people and horses who were thrown out rolled on the "small bamboo shoots" again, and many people and horses were scarred, and for a while, people scolded the horses and neighed, howling again and again.

When a horse fell to his knees, the "little bamboo shoot" happened to be inserted into the knee eye, and the pain was so painful that he jumped up instantly. The horse jumped violently, overturned several people in succession, jumped out of the pit in reverse, and rushed to the rear of the team like crazy, causing a commotion in the horse team......

The rows of men at the back of the line weren't much better.

Although they did not fall into the pit, they were visibly frightened by the haste of the horses that had been sharply straightened and the horses that had been hit by the accident that had preceded them, and several of them suddenly jumped violently and went on a rampage uncontrollably.

Two of them threw people off their horses and fled in reverse......

Only two of the first group of guys who fell into the trap reacted quickly, quickly rose when the horses were unbalanced, and jumped a little farther away unharmed......

This group of people fully interpreted the words "war and chaos".

But it's not just the pit or the annoying little sticks that really make them feel bad.

Instead, the moment the horse fell into the pit, a number of arrows were shot from among the trees on both sides of the road.

is different from before, the people who came all the way to release cold arrows were one left and one right, obviously only two people.

And at the moment, there are at least six to eight people sneaking up.

And the two who didn't fall into the pit just now didn't have time to rejoice, and a few arrows had already been brushed and greeted......

And that's not even the worst.

The point is that half of the arrows that flew in were wrapped in oiled cotton cloth and lit on fire.

While the men had fallen into the pit, and their attention was drawn by the big pit under their feet, the small sticks, and the startled horses, it was too late to hear the whizzing wind.

The weather was already dry, and the bottom of the pit was covered with a layer of dry grass and dead leaves that ignited when it caught fire, and the sparks and flames burst into flames......

I had already prepared for this day, but I was afraid that it would be late on the return trip, so Mrs. Lin had already prepared torches and pine oil for making a bonfire in her car, which happened to be used at this time. After some oil was stained on the arrowhead, all the rest of the oil was poured to the bottom of the pit, even the lamp oil in the carriage.

At this moment, before the people and horses could react, the pit caught fire. The horses in the pit were almost in a state of madness, and they rushed upwards in a violent manner, and the few people who burned on their bodies did not care to fight back and soared upward......

Horses trample on people, people push horses, horses are afraid of fire, people are afraid of frightened horses, and it becomes a mess.

The horses that followed behind saw their frightened companions, and the riots and the fires that rose from the ground jumped with astonishment.

At one time, more than half of the more than fifty horses fled and were frightened.

The crowd was busy keeping the horses from being thrown off and trying to reassure the horses. If you can't be appeased, you can only jump off the horse quickly......

And the attacks from the trees never stopped.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a good line of sight, just shoot into the pit, where the howl came out.

A small mess, three people in the pit have fallen and cannot afford to live, I don't know whether they were shot by arrows or trampled by horses.

After a rain of indiscriminate arrows, the pursuers who had just been rampant only cared about their horses, protecting themselves, blocking cold arrows, and preventing trampling, they were too busy to take care of themselves, let alone rescue and fight back.

At this moment, their ability to fight back is almost completely useless.

And Cheng Ziyu tossed for a long time, and there was no casualty.

They are waiting for each other's moment!

At this point, the total number of more than 70 people on the other side is at this point, and at most half of them are intact.

Many people are still in the pit, many people have even lost their horses, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced......

They are condescending, and they have an absolute advantage against these guys.

At the moment, except for the number of people, the rest of the advantages are on their side.

Especially in terms of psychological morale, they are almost in a state of crushing.

Moreover, there was a wall of fire in the way, at least for the time being, completely dragging the other side forward.

In the end, even if they couldn't fight and evacuate, their purpose was achieved......

At this moment, Liang Da gave an order.

Prepared guards rode out of the darkness with swords in hand, and pointed their sharp swords straight at the already panicked pursuers. After digging the deep pit, they did not leave, and remained in ambush nearby, waiting to deliver the heaviest blow to the other party.

Several people who had been hiding in the trees and drawing their bows to sneak attack also threw away the bows in their hands and jumped off the trees, drawing their swords and participating in the fight.

Liang's big move is fierce, one person tops several people.

Feng Xing was originally the best at assassination, but the night that ordinary people couldn't see clearly was no different from the day for him, and it was more than enough for a pair of many.

A group of people fought fiercely in a group......

And at this moment, the carriage was already hundreds of feet away from them.

The rear has not been chasing the soldiers, and they have not retreated, Cheng Ziyu and the others knew that this was a successful plan, and they hit it.

But before their hearts could be put down, Xia Wei knocked on the window.

"There's a lot of people coming up front." She judged from the sound of horses' hooves coming from the ground.

Cheng Ziyu understood what she meant, did she not know if the other party was Li Chun's person, or was it ......

"Xia Wei, you can get on the roof of the carriage and take a look."

Xia Wei jumped on the roof of the car, and her voice sank.

"The other party didn't raise a torch." She only vaguely saw a dark shadow approaching in the distance.

Cheng Ziyu also secretly screamed badly.

If Li Chun came over, she would definitely see it, and there was no reason not to bring a little light. This is quietly approaching, and it can only be the other party......

She was slightly annoyed.

Most likely, she was tricked.

The other party had already planned to flank and outflank the front and back.

The group of people in the rear came with great momentum, and no matter whether they intercepted it or not, sooner or later they would leave a large part of the elite forces to break the rear. In other words, her main force has also been pinned down a few hundred feet away, and in front of her, she is about to encounter a group of people who are coming around from elsewhere to intercept her.

Or it is very likely that the dozens of people who were chasing from the rear were originally deliberately used by the other party to attract their own fire. In order to attack the east and west, and intercept their main force to the greatest extent.

But the rest of his own manpower is only a few dozen.

How else to break through?

There was no good way, so the group of them had to stop first and wait for the other party to approach to see the situation. Xia Wei whistled a long whistle into the air again, signaling that something was wrong here.

A large number of horses' hooves gradually came, and dozens of people were getting closer and closer to where they were.

Li Chun hadn't arrived at this time, and Cheng Ziyu felt that it was very likely that he was also restrained.

It is also one of the other party's goals to use Li Chun's hand to make this matter bigger, so it is very likely to make some traps for Li Chun and make a small fuss to provoke his anger.

Xia Wei whistled again, with a rhythm and pause in the middle, probably with some special meaning, right?

And everyone in the team hoped that the black group that was getting closer and closer would not come to them, but this little hope was difficult to achieve.
