Chapter 22: Survival

The others were also out of ideas.

During the day, they fought with the horse bandits, and at night they occupied the town, and everyone had to think more about it.

"Probably not, right?" Shen Dacheng said uncertainly: "No matter how powerful the horse bandits are, is it possible that they dare to blatantly confront the government?" ”

The reason why he didn't rush to leave at that time was that he was afraid that he would be retaliated against by the gang of horse bandits when he left the town.

It's just that I didn't expect them to chase here.

Shen Xinyue calmly analyzed: "I don't think they should be targeting us, just now the shopkeeper shouted, the horse bandits occupied the county government, if it is just to retaliate against us, you can wait for us to go out of the city, why bother to mobilize the people to make such a big move?" ”

Shen Dacheng: "The crescent girl is right, no matter what, the big guy hurry up and pack up his things, don't panic, let's see the situation first." ”

Soon, everyone was dressed neatly, and the things that Shen Xinyue bought during the day were also neatly placed.

At the moment, many people are still holding on to luck.

It didn't take long for Shen Fuan, who went out to inquire about the situation, to come back.

"The horse bandits are going from house to house arresting people, and I heard them mention some kind of food."

Shen Xinyue: "Big brother, how many of them are there?" How is the equipment? ”

Shen Fuan hesitated for a moment, thought carefully for a while, and said: "I don't see many arrests, only four or five, everyone has a knife in their hands, and they have already slashed and killed several people. I made a general inquiry, and said that there were two or three hundred people who entered the city, and several city gates were guarded, and they were not allowed to leave the city at all. ”

Shen Xinyue's brain was running rapidly.

The horse bandits are all high-level action cases, at most dozens of people, and now these two or three hundred people will inevitably make her suspicious.

It's a strange thing.

However, no matter what these people were, she certainly couldn't sit still.

Shen Laoqi proposed: "Why don't we escape through the back door?" ”

An eldest lady interjected: "Run, where are so many of us fleeing?" Haven't you heard that the gates of the city are sealed? As long as we are obedient, they shouldn't do anything to us, right? ”

"The horse bandits are coming, run, the horse bandits are coming!" Just when everyone was hesitating, someone suddenly rushed out of the opposite room, but before he could get out of the courtyard, he was suddenly stabbed in the body.

"Acquaintances get out of the house quickly, don't wait for the master to come in and look for it, otherwise the end will be the same as him."

The horse bandit at the head drew his knife and kicked the man to the ground.

Looking at the convulsive figure on the ground, everyone in the room trembled with fear......

In the dark of night, a team of light cavalry was rushing.

"Young master, further ahead is Ning County, the pass in front is easy to ambush, subordinates go over and take a look first?"

Lu Zhong grabbed the reins: "Pay attention to safety." ”

The long rush made his voice a little hoarse.

Chang Ping was ordered to beat the horse and leave, and it didn't take long for him to turn back again.

"Young master, as expected, there is an ambush ahead. But for some reason, people died. And they died in a very strange way, the fatal wound was not a sword, nor a bow or arrow, nor a ......."

"Getting to the point."

"There are more than 20 people in total, and they should be horse bandits."

"Let's take a look."

Soon the group went up the hill and stopped in front of a wood.

At that time, Shen Xinyue and the others were in a hurry to meet their families, and they did not dispose of the corpses, and at this moment they were lying on the ground.

Lu Zhong walked to a corpse and squatted down, and through the moonlight, he could vaguely see that there was a blood hole in the door of this person's head.

If it is caused by a hidden weapon, even at the shortest distance, it is not easy to achieve such a large force into the skull.

Not to mention the indiscriminate shooting of so many people.

Chang An came over: "Young master, I just found horseshoe prints in the forest, as well as tripping horses and a lot of stones. It seems that these people were premeditated. ”

Chang Ping frowned: "What are we going to do when the horse bandits rob us?" It's not that they don't know that we are the poorest soldiers, and my winter coat ......."

Lu Zhong clapped his hands and got up: "These people are not ordinary horse bandits. ”

"I've just taken a closer look, and these people have calluses on their mouths, which should be caused by years of sword use. There are also the shoes they wear, although they look ordinary, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that they are in the army. ”

Chang An nodded: "I also checked it just now, and those horseshoe prints were all left by the horseshoe." ”

Chang Ping: "People in the army? Why are they ambushing us? ”

Chang An patted his arm, shook his head helplessly, and followed Lu Zhong down the mountain.

"Tell me clearly, what kind of eyes were you looking at just now?" He clearly felt contempt!

Chang Ping chased after him unconvinced, and heard Lu Zhong speak: "Since they can set up an ambush here, they already know my intentions." I'm afraid that Ning County is in danger, let's hurry up. ”

Saying that, he turned over and got on his horse, and the group galloped in the direction of Ningxian......

"Get out of here!" The horse bandits in the courtyard were still shouting, and many people staggered out of the room.

"What to do? Let's get out of here, I don't want to die. "There was a timid woman, whose legs were so weak that she almost collapsed to the ground.

"Village chief, his uncle, you can get an idea."

It's not a matter to always hide in the room, Shen Dacheng gritted his teeth, and was about to call everyone out, but was stopped by Shen Xinyue.

"Looking at the current situation, they will definitely not let us go easily, if we go out, we will be sent to death, it is better to take advantage of their lack of people now, we will create chaos and escape!"

"That's a good saying, that's a horse bandit, hundreds of people, you have a lot of ability to send you to death, but don't drag us."

opened his mouth wide and said that he was about to go out with his son Yuanbao.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a woman fall to the ground, and the horse bandit in the yard did not stop at all, and killed the other party with a knife.

", these people have no humanity at all......"

She trembled, but her steps could not be walked out.

"Uncle, don't go out if you and Brother Fu'an are injured, after a while, my second brother and I will go out to solve a few people in the yard, and you will take your things to the stables to take out the car, and then take your things to the east gate."

"Then I will lead the people towards the east gate. Although they were quite numerous, there were four gates, and each gate handle was a maximum of fifty or sixty people. When the time comes, as long as there are more people, you can take advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

After listening to her words, some people still said uncertainly: "Can this work?" If we listen to them, maybe we will still live, but if we annoy them, we will really die. ”

Shen Dacheng: "No matter what, it's possible to die, let's take a gamble." If it happens, it's better than putting your life in their hands. When the time comes, there will be no chance to escape. ”
