Chapter Forty-Eight: The Road to Escape

Cheng You, who was puzzled, wanted to speak again, but suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Be careful, stay out and hide, there's a team of cavalry coming!"

Song Yuyuan's serious voice came clearly, and several people hurriedly squatted down close to the side of the path, and even the sound of breathing seemed to stop in an instant.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the street not far ahead, rumbling louder and louder, and a figure appeared on the street opposite the alley, but it was a group of panicked deserters.

Most of these deserters were wearing the uniforms of the Da Viet et Nam military, and they could faintly see the big red words behind them in the gray morning light!

"There's a trail, enter the trail!"

The two deserters had sharp eyes, and one turned and went into the alley where the crowd was hiding, while the others were not so lucky, and a group of horsemen had already rushed behind them, and the spears and lances in the hands of the riders had already been struck down fiercely.

"Ah......h

The screams were repeated, and the bodies of the Qian family in the alley couldn't stop trembling, the screams gradually stopped, and the sound of horses' hooves also ran across the alley, chasing other deserters, and the sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away.

The two deserters in the alley stood with knives in their hands, looking at a group of people hiding in the darkness with a wary face, and as soon as they came in, they saw this group of people squatting here silently, staring at themselves directly, and the two of them jumped in their throats at that time, and almost screamed on the spot.

However, although the two sides have been facing each other for a long time, no one has been willing to speak out.

"We're going out of the city, what are the plans of the two officials?"

Song Yuyuan took the lead in opening his mouth, and now the time is pressing, but there is no time to delay.

"You're going out of town?

The two soldiers glanced at each other, and one of them put his sword into the sheath and leaned over with an affectionate expression.

"How to get there? We brothers can also escort a few people along the way. ”

It seems that the other party doesn't want to stay in the county town where he doesn't know what the situation is, and wants to take a ride and go out of the city together.

"Don't make a sound, just follow along!"

Song Yuyuan replied coldly, patted Qian Gui's shoulder, and motioned him to hurry up and lead the way, now that the sky is okay, hiding in the alley can still hide people's eyes and ears by hiding in the dark, but the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and it won't be long before this method will not work.

"This way, let's go!"

Qian Gui also reflected, hunched over and trotted across the street to another alley.

A group of people galloped silently along the road like long snakes, but they didn't want to be seen clearly by the two riders who were lagging behind in the distance.

"There's someone over here!"

The two riders were also bold, and they clearly saw that Chen Ziang and his party were numerous, and they still rushed over with a shout.

When they approached, a group of people had already disappeared into the opposite alley, and two riders looked at each other and turned over and dismounted, one with a mace and the other with a spear in his hand, and rushed into the alley.

The alley was darker than the outside, and the two of them would inevitably squint their eyes for a moment as soon as they entered the alley, but before the two of them could get used to it, a pair of iron fists had suddenly appeared and hit them fiercely on the chest.

Although the two of them were wearing battle armor and had strong physiques, they couldn't resist this ferocious fist, their chests suddenly sank, their internal organs cracked, and a mouthful of blood couldn't stop spurting out.

'There are masters!'

The last sense of remorse rose, and the bodies of the two had fallen limply.

Du Wu withdrew his fists, turned his steps, his feet were like wading through the water, and his feet staggered back and forth without leaving the ground, and after a while, he had already followed the team in front of him.

"There are three more streets, and it would be nice to go through a small alley. It's just that the street ahead is a main road, so it's a long way to go!"

Qian Gui's blood was surging up and down at this time, his whole body was trembling a little, and his voice was also trembling, but he didn't notice it.

In just one pillar of incense, a few people have already encountered several batches of Taiping soldiers, and while killing a batch, their own team has increased by seven people.

"It's okay, you just lead the way, you don't have to worry about the rest!"

Song Yuyuan's face was tense, the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and the sword body was stained with blood.

"Let's go!"

Qian Gui gritted his teeth, suddenly walked out of the alley, and came to the street, where there was a group of fleeing officers and soldiers who were scattered like headless flies, and some people even smashed open the door of the owner of the house on the street and forced their way in, causing a noise in the house.

Chen Ziang's group didn't care, and followed Qian Gui to rush straight away, which frightened some officers and soldiers.

"There's still someone here!"

There was a shout at the end of the street, and a group of Taiping infantry had already rushed towards Chen Ziang's group.

"Kill!"

Song Yuyuan pointed at the long sword in his hand, and the sword swords and the three guards beside him had already rushed forward.

There were only a dozen soldiers on the opposite side, and they were all dressed in regular clothes and had never put on armor, which was just a piece of cake for them, and they could only delay the time a little.

The sword light flashed first, and the sword was like a ghost in the dim morning, and the long sword moves in his hand were also extremely tricky, and the tip of the sword pointed to the place where the human body was unguarded, and in the shaking of the figure, three people had fallen under his sword.

It's just that although the fallen person was traumatized, the wound was not fatal, and it was the later nursing home that mended the knife again to cut off the breath of the three people.

The knife is fierce, wide open and closed, although the change is small but the power is great, under the light of his rolling knife, four or five soldiers have been seriously injured, and they can't afford to fall to the ground, even if they don't need to mend the knife, they can't survive for a moment or three.

Song Yuyuan also rushed up, his swordsmanship was upright, brilliant and domineering, but he was also full of murderous spirit, either penetrating through the chest, or cutting off the opponent's head with a sword.

A few people were like tigers entering the flock, and after a while of slashing, only two soldiers escaped early when they saw that it was not good.

"Let's go!"

Song Yuyuan let out a low shout and took the lead in running wildly, and a few clever officers and soldiers in the group of officers and soldiers behind him also joined Chen Ziang's group with a glance.

Cheng You, who was at the end, followed the crowd unhurriedly, but his brows began to tighten.

It seems that the officers and men in the city have been completely dispersed, and the Taiping army no longer needs to concentrate on attacking the army with all its strength, and has begun to disperse to sweep away the remnants of the officers and soldiers!

"Drive, drive!"

On the other side of the street, six cavalry cavalry suddenly appeared, three of them were wearing armor and one was wearing a helmet, and they seemed to be a general of the city defense, but now the six of them looked panicked, flicking their leather whips desperately, and urging their horses to gallop wildly, as if some fierce beast was chasing behind them.

"Da Da Da ......"

The crisp sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the rear, and the sound of horses' hooves was crisp and melodious, and the movements were very rhythmic, so that Cheng You could instantly separate it from the six horsemen in front of him.

"He's catching up!"

When he looked back, his face was even more panicked, and even showed a look of despair.

"Fuck, I fought with him!"

The lagging horse suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse stood upright, and spun in a circle on its hind legs.

'Good riding!'

Cheng You's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration in his heart.

In a flash of light, the rider's head rose to the sky, and the spear in his hand froze in place like an ornament.
