A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 99 Ambush
If this is the case, the road ahead will be difficult.

On the other side, the officers and soldiers sent by Tu Shan encountered refugees who were separated from Bai Xia and the others. Not surprisingly, these refugees were guarded by Tu Shan's officers and soldiers and headed towards Tu Shan.

Facing a team that was completely different from the number reported by Wu County, the centurion ordered someone to call the refugee who was the leader of the team to question him, and only then did he know that half of the people had entered the mountain.

"Baihu, are we going up the mountain?"

The centurion looked at the mountain forest not far away. The mountain road was difficult, and the refugees would not be able to walk far with their families.

But such a complex terrain is also very unfavorable for them to catch people.

He glanced sideways at the group of refugees they encountered, and arrested them rashly, fearing that they would see something wrong.

"Send someone to investigate the situation, let's go back and report back first"

The group of refugees in front of them is enough to do business, and they don't need to venture into the mountains, but those refugees who enter the mountains can't let them go, they must grasp the information of the refugees.

The officers and soldiers did not communicate much with the refugees. They only took two people to ask about the number of people, and they stopped asking.

In the team of 200 people, there were only two scouts left. The refugees never expected to encounter officials, but they didn't realize the danger, and even thought they were saved. Instead of taking a good official road, I chose to take the mountain road.

They have no idea what awaits them ahead.

But on the mountain, Li Xiuyuan and the others led the other half of the refugees to move forward with difficulty.

He is small and his steps are small, and it is very difficult for him to walk, but along the way, he never uttered a word.

There were also children around his age in the team. Some of the children were too tired to walk, but they were all pushed back by the adult holding Li Xiuyuan.

It has to be said that Li Xiuyuan still played a big role in this.

"Master Li, I saw officers and soldiers, and two more officers and soldiers are catching up."

The refugee who was sent out to stare at another refugee team ran up quickly. His name was Qi Shan, he was 13 years old, and he was just a child, but he had one of the biggest advantages, that is, his endurance and speed.

In Bai Xia's words, Qi Shan is a natural athlete.

Because he is small, fast, and has good stamina, Li Xiuyuan was sent out to watch the movements of the refugees.

More than 200 officers and soldiers were very conspicuous, and he could see them from a distance.

Seeing two scouts left behind by officers and soldiers, he quickly ran back and reported the situation to Li Xiuyuan.

"Are you sure there are only two of you?"

Qi Shan nodded heavily.

"determine"

Li Xiuyuan pondered, if there are only two people, then...

"Let the old and the weak go first, come ten people to follow my orders, and kill the officers and soldiers who come over"

After speaking, Li Xiuyuan asked Shuanzi to bring the pannier, and saw that there were many big knives in the pannier that Shuanzi was carrying, and a bow at the bottom, which was left to them by Bai Xia before he left.

The refugees quickly moved, and when they heard officers and soldiers chasing them, everyone became nervous.

After several days of training, the mobility of this group of refugees has improved a lot. Not many people spoke along the way, and soon the team separated from the remaining ten people.

These ten people are none other than the members of the guard that Li Xiuyuan and the others recruited.

The three of Li San'er also joined the guard.

"Li San'er, you come to command, and you must make sure that the two officers and soldiers come and go."

Li Xiuyuan was also ruthless, it is not suitable for the government to know their current whereabouts.

Mainly because of the 1000 people he could have kept, only 500 people were left because of the mine incident. If the 500 people were captured by the government again, let's not talk about their fate, just say that he has them. Just no one left.

He now also knows where his weakness is. There is no one, no ability, and no news channels. He still doesn't know anything about the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, so what to fight with the government.

So he also discussed with Bai Xia, they first had to find a suitable place to stay, recuperate, and at the same time slowly expand their power.

There must be sufficient land and water here, so that these refugees can open up wasteland and farm land, and have a continuous source of food.

Far away.

Soon, Li San'er's deployment was completed, and Li Xiuyuan left Longyuan early.

He can't help here, so it's better to stay away, so as not to drag them down.

The professionally trained scouts were very fast. After a while, they saw two officers and soldiers in light armor walking in the forest as if they were walking on flat ground, checking for traces on both sides of the road while walking.

Li San'er and the others chose a corner where the dry grass was slightly deep, so they could see where they came from and hide their figure.

Unexpectedly, the two scouts were not stupid, and followed them all the way. The team of hundreds of people was full of grass and trees everywhere, but only this corner here was dense with grass.

"Watch out for an ambush"

When they reached the corner, the two scouts immediately slowed down and watched the dry grass ahead vigilantly.

"call out"

"shhhhhh"

Almost as soon as the scout's words fell, a few sharp arrows shot out.

"Be careful"

The two immediately prepared to face the battle.

"Up"

Liang You and Xu Cai rushed to the front, slashing straight at the two scouts with the big sabers in their hands. They were the leaders, and the refugees behind also chased after them.

This is a mountain road, but due to being trampled by refugees, there is a flat land of about [-] meters. The two scouts are very skilled. Except for Liang You and Xu Cai, All ordinary refugees.

Although they trained for a period of time, after all, the time was short and the combat experience was not rich. For a while, neither side could do anything to defeat the other.

"A Cai"

Liang You yelled, Xu Cai instantly understood what he meant, and the two of them attacked one of the scouts with all their strength, intending to deal with one of them first.

The other scout, Xu Cai, was standing in front of him, and the knife in his hand slashed at a refugee.

The refugee didn't react. He saw the knife coming towards the top of his head. Seeing that he was about to die under the scout's knife, he was so frightened that two groups fought, and a sharp arrow shot out suddenly, forcing the scout to block it with a knife. The refugees were also rescued by other companions.

With Li San'er's bow and arrow cover, the balance of victory tilted towards the refugees.

"Uh"

Soon, the scout surrounded by Liang and You fell to the ground unwillingly.

Seeing this, the other scout made a feint and ran away before Liang You and the two came.

"Don't let him get away"

Li San'er secretly thought it was bad, the officers and soldiers hadn't gone far, if the scout was allowed to go far, the consequences would be disastrous.

Immediately raise the arrow and shoot, but the scout who can be selected, naturally has the ability to escape, the speed of his feet is far faster than these refugees, Li San'er shot several arrows, but failed to hit, unexpectedly The scout ran away.

"damn it"

"Go, go and report to Young Master Li"

Li San'er was so worried that he let the scout run away, not knowing how many officers and soldiers would be attracted.
