Chapter 54: The Trap of Escape and Pursuit
After a few crisp bangs, the arrows shot from Green Moon City could no longer hit the carriage and landed on the road where the carriage was passing.
Looking at the tips of the few arrows exposed on the back wall of the carriage, Zhou Shan, Dong Yun, Yueting and Yueyu, whose bodies were constantly shaking with the bumps of the carriage, the four of them glanced at each other, and they all showed palpitations.
"Sister Shan'er, are we safe?" Yue Ting and Yue Yu hugged each other tightly and looked at Zhou Shan.
"Safe?" Zhou Shan smiled bitterly, shook his head and continued, "We escaped from the gate of Green Moon City so blatantly, do you think it might be safe?"
"That is, now that things are getting bigger and bigger, if the officers and soldiers also join in and capture us together, then we will not be able to escape. Dong Yun was so angry that her liver hurt, and she couldn't help but recall what a carefree and comfortable life she had before marrying Wang Yan. Fortunately, I have just gotten married and have not finished my honeymoon, so I have started this life of fugitive. Compared with other people's sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, the honeymoon full of poetry and picturesqueness, my honeymoon is definitely nervous enough, exciting enough, thrilling enough, and terrible enough!
"What if they can't catch up with us?" Tsukiyu listened to the rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the carriage, and still had a hint of fantasy in her heart.
"Stop dreaming. What pulled us away was just an ordinary horse that could no longer be ordinary, and compared with the war horses ridden by officers and soldiers, there was a very big gap in terms of speed, endurance, and other aspects. What's more, with a heavy carriage and a few of us, it was only a matter of time before we were caught up. Let's get ready to fight. As the saying goes, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, if they want to catch us, they must pay a heavy price!" Dong Yun completely extinguished Yueyu's illusions and began to mobilize before the battle.
In the carriage of the carriage, there was silence again, and no one responded to Dong Yun's call. In addition to Dong Yun, Zhou Shan and the others have faced a life and death crisis for the third time in just a few days. They really want to look up to the sky and sigh - oh my God, don't play with us like this!
Wang Yan, who was concentrating on driving, felt that the speed of the carriage began to slow down, and understood that this horse that had exploded excessively and was physically exhausted was exhausted. I had to abandon the car and walk.
"Get out of the car and go into the woods!" Wang Yan decisively stopped the carriage, saw that there were still woods on the side of the road, and immediately made a decision.
"Going into the woods again, aren't you running faster on the road?" Yueting and Yueyu didn't understand why Wang Yan always had to choose the woods. If they knew that Dao Wang Yan had been living in the woods, I am afraid they would not think like this.
"Can you run past the horses of the officers and soldiers who are chasing us?" Wang Yan pulled out the arrows behind the carriage and gathered all the weapons he could use.
"......" Yueting and Yueyu were speechless again.
"Wang Yan, how sure are you?" Zhou Shan understood that Wang Yan would not be untargeted, and there must be a purpose for him to do so.
"Do your best. Wang Yan's answer was very reluctant, he knew nothing about the situation of the officers and soldiers chasing them, and he had no bottom in his heart.
"I see. Zhou Shan didn't ask any further, and directly pulled Dong Yun, Yueting, and Yueyu to run towards the woods together.
"Beast, you hide here, observe the situation of the pursuers, and then chase after us. Wang Yan said to the beast.
"Master, you are too great. and left the most dangerous things to the beasts. The beast obediently burrowed into the woods and disappeared, but its whining words still reached the ears of Wang Yan.
"I can only count on you. Wang Yan looked at the place where the beast had disappeared, and he believed that the beast would not live up to his expectations.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Green Moon City, after listening to the report of the officer guarding the city gate, 'Yueping Peak' became more and more angry, and his whole face was distorted and deformed, which would definitely make the man-eating monsters sigh to themselves.
"Useless rice bucket! What are you doing in a daze, chase me quickly!" 'Yue Pingfeng' didn't know what to scold before he could vent his anger.
"Yes!" the officer guarding the city gate hurriedly took the order. The reason why he did not send people to chase after him at the first time was because his duty was only to guard the city gates, and it was not his responsibility to hunt down fugitives.
"Go too. I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die!" 'Yue Pingfeng' said to the empty hall after the officers guarding the city gate left. He has changed his original intention of capturing the twin princesses alive, as long as he can deal a heavy blow to the emperor and Yuezheng, killing them is also a good choice.
No one answered, but with a few faint sounds of breaking wind, the distorted face of 'Yue Pingfeng' finally became normal.
'All the ten Hokage guards sent by the Scorching Sun Country to protect them are dispatched, and I don't believe you can escape. The three princes, who wore the mask of Yue Pingfeng, were finally relieved.
An army of nearly 100 men, heavily armed, galloped out of the city on war horses, and chased them at great speed in the direction from which Wang Yan and the others had fled.
The sound of the breaking wind sounded, and several figures disappeared in a flash, disappearing behind the army.
After a while, several more figures appeared, also chasing away at a very fast speed, and it could be seen from the light and swift hands that they were also masters of martial arts.
"Master, the man who is chasing us is coming. The beast sent a message to Wang Yan.
"Specifics. Wang Yan communicated quickly with the beast in his heart, and sped up the action of setting the trap. These simple traps were only used by Wang Yan to injure the pursuers, causing panic among the enemies and affecting their pace of pursuit.
"That's too many, I can't count them. The beast looked at the officers and soldiers who had caught up with the carriage parked on the side of the road, and quickly surrounded the carriage, and told Wang Yan about the situation here: "They are all riding horses and carrying weapons. “
"A lot?" Wang Yan felt helpless, how much is 'a lot', this beast.
"Master, I feel that there are still some people secretly approaching, and they are so murderous. The beast suddenly became alert.
"I know, come back. Wang Yan's expression was solemn, and it seemed that the real enemy couldn't bear it anymore. For the officers and soldiers who are chasing, Wang Yan has no intention of killing the killer, but for the enemy in the dark, Wang Yan will definitely not be merciful......
took out the porcelain bottle containing the snake king's venom from his arms, and a cold light flashed in Wang Yan's eyes: "Come on, I'll wait for you." ”
The officers and men surrounding the carriage carefully searched the carriage and its surroundings in the hope of finding traces of the fugitives they were to pursue.
"Report to the chief that no fugitives were found in the carriage. "There were soldiers who, after searching the wagon, reported the situation to their officers.
"Report sir, there are signs of movement on the edge of the woods. "Some soldiers noticed something unusual and hurried to report it.
"I see. The fugitive abandoned the car and fled into the woods. The officer leading the team made a correct judgment and immediately gave an order to his soldiers: "Leave ten men to guard the horses, and the rest will go into the woods with me, and be sure to catch up with the fugitives." ”
"Yes!" the soldiers replied in unison, and after leaving ten soldiers, they followed the officers who led the group into the woods following the trail left by Wang Yan and them.
"Focusing on the traces left by the fugitives, everyone lined up at a distance of three meters and searched indiscriminately. "The officers who led the team still have some experience, and if they don't search carefully, they can easily be evaded by the fugitives who use the night to evade their search.
The soldiers did as they were ordered and quickly dispersed. Line up and sweep through the woods.
He hadn't gone far when one of the soldiers, noticing that something was not quite right with a tree not far in front of him, cautiously stepped forward to take a closer look.
When one of his feet stepped on a layer of fallen leaves under the tree, he suddenly felt his foot and neck being tightly strangled. The branch bounced up in an instant, dragging the vine and hanging the soldier upside down in the air.
"Help, help me!" the frightened soldier suddenly shouted in horror.
"Be careful, there is an ambush. The officer who led the team immediately stopped the soldiers' advance and quickly led people to surround them.
After a moment of careful observation, he did not find any suspicious figures around, and the officer leading the team sent someone to put down the soldier who was hanging upside down in the air and waving his hands and feet;
"I noticed something wrong with the tree and wanted to come and see it clearly, but I didn't think it was a trap set by a fugitive. The soldiers were terrified.
"Be careful, these fugitives are not simple. The officer leading the team looked at the improvised trap and told the soldiers to pay attention. In the escape, he can calmly set up traps, it seems that the fugitive is still calm and calm, and the trouble is not small.
Regrouped and continued the search, albeit at a noticeably slower pace. Wang Yan's goal of setting a trap to delay the pursuers was achieved. Of course, it was not enough to delay the speed of the pursuers, Wang Yan also laid other traps, waiting for the pursuers to step into it.
"Ahh He had just stepped over a small patch of grass, and he didn't expect the edge of the grass to be hollowed out, so he leaned forward and stepped heavily into the small pit with one foot. Buried in a pit of earth, revealing only the tip of an arrow more than two inches long, it pierced his foot so hard that he was incapacitated.
There was no way, so the officer leading the team had to send a soldier to escort the wounded soldier back, and the rest of the soldiers continued to search slowly.
"Ahh
The ubiquitous traps made the soldiers involved in the search miserable. These simple but highly effective traps kept the soldiers off guard in the darkness of night, and some soldiers were constantly withdrawing from the search team because they were injured.
The officer who led the team was also helpless, so he could only continue to lead his soldiers to search, after all, the city lord's order could not be disobeyed.
"What a bunch of rubbish. The Red Shadow Guard of the Scorching Sun Country, who was secretly following, scolded in a low voice, originally expecting the soldiers to be able to catch those few people, so that they would not have to reveal their whereabouts, but seeing the 'outstanding' performance of these soldiers, it was really a big disappointment.
"Let's go on. With a low shout, all the Red Shadow Guards burst out of their cloaks and flew over the treetops, leaving the searching soldiers far behind. The trap set by Wang Yan did not have any effect on them.
Wang Yan took Zhou Shan, Dong Yun, Yueting, and Yueyu to quickly shuttle through the woods. The traps had succeeded in helping them to widen the distance between them and their pursuers, and some relaxed expressions gradually appeared on their faces. Of course, Wang Yan was an exception, because he knew that a more formidable enemy was about to appear.
