Chapter 3 Escape

As soon as the morning dawned, according to the agreement at the time of departure yesterday, Xu He picked up neatly and came to the carriage to gather. Everyone is ready, but Wu Niang came late, her child is only three years old, and she is a little girl.

The villagers already knew that there were wolf corpses about seven miles away from the village, so they got up early to clean up and gave them some steamed bread and baked cakes.

With the experience of the first day of marching, today Xu He and Xu Hu directly arranged according to the fast marching method, with two less maids, and the speed of the second brigade has also increased a little.

Walk, walk, another day passed, because of the early departure and early rest, nothing more terrible happened.

Today, I also met the scouts of Xu Guo, and when I asked, Hongcheng had been breached. The army of Wu has penetrated more than 100 miles into the border of Xu State, blocking the border of Xu Chu in the south of Xu State and the border of Xu Tan in the east of Xu State.

Hearing this news, the whole brigade was in a bad mood, they had already passed Zhining County, and it was expected that they would go to the southwestern border of Xuchu in two more days. I didn't dare to go in two waves, and a bunch of people gathered together again and moved forward slowly.

Afraid of something, on the third day, the brigade went out and went about seventy miles to the border with Xu Chu, and encountered a wave of Wu soldiers.

The soldiers of Wu Guo discovered this team from afar, shouted happily, and rushed over, this is a big fat sheep, look at the three carriages, this war is decided.

This Wu army of about 300 people was searching and advancing, and when they saw the big fat sheep coming, they immediately turned into a charge from a distance of about five miles.

Xu Hu asked Xu He to hurry away with the cart and maids, and he took thirty-five family members to quickly set up a defense. Xu He was afraid that something else would happen in front of her, so she didn't dare to leave the horse she was riding, and a horse would at least contact her faster.

Five miles away, you can find that the brigade is really not nonsense, the ancients had very good eyesight, there is no short-sightedness, and the farsighted eye is a big handful, and it is very clear to see five miles away on the hillside.

Over there, Xu He hurriedly fled with the women and children, and here Xu Hu commanded the family to lay down a bow and arrow array. The day before yesterday, the bow and arrow were basically not used, the wolves were very smart, and there were many sneak attacks by night, and when they found out, the bow and arrow could not be used, so they could only use the Changge sword, so this battle was not afraid of wasting arrows.

When the soldiers of Wu were about 200 meters away from Xu Hu's position, Xu Hu's bow and arrow array was launched, and he chose his position on the high ground on the side of the road, mainly to block, as long as the women and children could escape as far as possible.

The soldiers of Wu are not vegetarians, although they do not have many arrows, but there are many people, and one person and one arrow are more than the enemy, and the shooting on both sides began.

Xu Hu's position played a great role, prepared and unprepared, the soldiers of Wu in front were shot badly and killed, and the soldiers of Wu changed their tactics and divided two teams of fifty people to detour from both sides of the high ground.

Xu Hu saw this formation and knew that it was going to be finished here, but he could only hold on, according to the speed at which women and children were marching with thin softness, this would only be about three miles away.

Xu Hu tried his best to delay for a while, not to mention, under the protection and suppression of the bow and arrow array, the soldiers of Wu State had not captured the high ground for an hour, and more than 90 people were killed and wounded. Xu Hu's casualties were not small, and there were only eighteen people left who could continue to fight, and the hidden horse was also lost and one was killed. There were not many bows and arrows, Xu Hu understood that no matter how desperate he was, he ordered the family members to flee for their lives, and rode after Xu He with the three family members, and the fourteen family members also ran behind.

Tiangong also came to join in the fun, a thunderclap, the pouring rain came, I can't take care of it, hurry up.
