Chapter 72
"Fuck!"

"These sons of bitches!"

Everyone couldn't help but curse.

Tong Guan had nearly a hundred followers, 30 drivers, and nearly 20 escorts, which already exceeded the number of guards brought by Lu Hui.

Originally, relying on his own training skills, he was still sure of winning, but now it was better, he had defeated Tong Guan, and later he had to face more than two hundred bandits.

If he hadn't been careful and arranged spies in front of him, he would have become a mantis hunting cicadas.

"Let's retreat!" Lu Hui ordered.

"No more robbing?" someone asked.

"Of course not." Lu Hui explained: "The mantis hunted the cicada, and the oriole followed. Today we almost became a mantis. But now that we know there are bandits in the south, let's do the oriole."

"I understand."

After calling the guards on the other side of the official road to come and gather, Lu Hui and others started from the path and walked around to the back of the bandit gathering point.Even the 20 people who were ambushing in the mountain col before and after were summoned.

Spies were sent forward and backward, and Lu Hui led his guards to march carefully through the forest. Because of the previous exploration, he didn't worry about getting lost.

During this period, we also met a few lone bandits, who were caught by the speed of the spies and almost had their whereabouts exposed.

"Be more careful." Lu Hui had to send extra manpower to check the front, rear and left sides to avoid being hit by the bandits running around.

"That's almost it. We are now about a mile away from the bandits' ambush site, which is to the west of us." Detective Hui reported.

"Stop, eat and drink water, and hurry up to regain your strength." Lu Hui ordered.

At this moment, the rapid march in the forest consumed everyone's physical strength.

70 people sat together, took off their face coverings, took out the dry food and water bags from the packages and began to eat and drink. There were 30 people on the periphery as secret sentries to avoid being approached by the blind bandits.

"Shift shift!"

30 people go out and 30 people come back, taking turns to rest, eat and drink.

"We were lucky and didn't encounter pigs, wolves, tigers or leopards." A guard said thankfully.

The strange thing is that as soon as I finished saying this, I heard the whistle from the east of the resting point making bird calls, one fast and one slow.

"You crow mouth."

This bird call is a warning that a large animal is approaching.

"Go and deal with it quickly. Don't make a big fuss." Lu Hui pointed at a group of people and ordered.

The ten-man team immediately drew out their long knives and walked towards the east. Unexpectedly, they saw them return in just ten breaths.

"It was a big insect. When he saw our ten knives coming, he ran away."

Animals in nature are the most spiritual. They can sense danger and know that they are no match for these ten people, so they run away decisively.

"Just run away." Lu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a pack of wolves or wild boars, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

The wolves are difficult to deal with and the wild boars are reckless, both of which are difficult to deal with.

The forest became quiet again, leaving only the sound of people eating, drinking and chewing.

After waiting for half an hour, a gong sound suddenly came from the west, and then a faint cry of killing was heard.

"go!"

Retracting the hidden sentries around him, Lu Hui led his men towards the west.As they got closer and closer to the battlefield, the shouts of killing became louder and louder. It was not until they were more than 100 steps away from the battlefield that Lu Hui asked everyone to stop.

"You wait here, you come with me." Asking the others to wait in the forest, Lu Hui led a small team to the edge of the battlefield carefully.

All the pirates who were ambushing in the forest on the official road have been killed, and even the bandit leader stood outside the forest to take command.

Looking at the battlefield on the official road outside the forest, Lu Hui quickly counted and found that the number of bandits exceeded 300.

Tong Guan's convoy was split into two pieces. The carts surrounded each other and formed two piles, surrounded by bandits and charging towards them.The guards protecting the convoy should be elites selected from the army. Judging from the battle situation, they are all good fighters with one against three.

Moreover, these guards actually all have armor. Although only the upper body is armored, they have a very obvious advantage over the armor-less bandits.

Only fifty guards fought in a stalemate with more than 300 bandits.

"Fortunately, there are mantises like bandits in front, otherwise it would be the personal guards of Chenjiazhuang who would have to fight these fifty elite guards." Lu Hui was secretly lucky.

Searching the battlefield, I saw an ox cart in the large cart circle to the north surrounded by more than a dozen followers. Although these followers did not have elite guards, they were still strong. Each held a long knife and guarded the ox cart very well. comprehensive.

"Tong Guan must be in this car."

"Fire the arrow!" A loud roar came from the pipe nearby!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
More than a dozen arrows were shot from the forest opposite. Several guards did not pay attention and were immediately shot. Then they were hacked to death by bandits.

There are actually archers among the bandits!

"Go back and deliver the message. The 50 people will detour to the opposite forest and deal with the bandit archers first." Lu Hui ordered.

"Yes!" One of the guards quickly retreated into the forest.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Hui, who had been observing the north and south directions of the official road, saw fifty personal guards crossing the official road and disappearing into the forest opposite from a mile away from the south.

"Let the guards at the back come up and prepare to fight!" Lu Hui ordered again.

The battle situation on the official road ahead has begun to tilt towards the bandits, and the attendants, messengers, coachmen, etc. have all begun to resist with knives.

Moreover, Lu Hui saw that Tong Guan's ox cart was turning around, and he probably planned to raid north and return to Meiguan.

A quarter of an hour later, a killing cry suddenly came from the forest opposite, and an archer rolled and crawled out of the forest, shouting "There is an ambush!"

"Kill!!" Lu Hui roared and led his guards to fight out of the forest, aiming directly at the bandit leader beside the official road.

The "yellow" that suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides shocked both parties on the official road. The bandits were the most frightened. Being attacked from both sides, they immediately became panicked.

Lu Hui rushed to a bandit leader. Although the bandit leader looked frightened, he still fought back with a knife.

bass!
The two knives were chopped together. Lu Hui's knife was fine, but the machete on the bandit's back made a big gap.

kill!

Lu Hui roared and slashed out with force again.

bass!The bandit's knife fell from his hand, and Lu Hui's third knife struck him in the neck, killing him with one blow.

"Who are you?" One of the leaders asked loudly before he died, but the guards just slashed and killed with knives and did not reply.

"We have reinforcements coming, kill quickly!" The guard Tong Guan who was surrounded in the middle was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he would turn around when he was on the verge of despair.

The highly motivated guards, entourage and bodyguards quickly dispersed the panicked bandits. The official road was littered with corpses and injured people who could not move.

The common enemy of the guards and Tong Guan was eliminated, but neither side put away their swords. Instead, they regrouped and were on guard against each other.

"Who is the hero across the way? Please come forward. Today you save my life, Tong Guan. I promise not to treat the hero badly." A slightly older but energetic greeting came from the oxcart.
