On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

The rebels who were keeping watch outside saw the light of torches in the distance and reported immediately.

The leader, Cao Heng, had been drinking and eating a little earlier. He couldn't sleep for a while. He lay there and thought, they had gained a lot in the back house, but if their colleagues were in the city, it would be more like rats coming in. Mi vat, so happy that I can't find the north.

But he is just a general bannerman, so even if there are benefits, when it is his turn, the day lily will be cold.

On the other hand, it is good to be outside, the tiger is not at home, and the monkey can be called the king.

It's just that the cold night is long, and it's a bit cold lying in the carriage. It would be better if there was someone around to warm the bed for him.

He had a beautiful thought. He closed his eyes and prepared to have a sweet dream. Unexpectedly, he heard his men report.

Out of caution, he immediately asked his resting men to get up, looked at the torches that were getting closer, and squinted his eyes: "Could it be that the people in the city escaped overnight?"

Then he waved his hand and arranged for his men to ambush: "Brothers, this is the fat sheep that I brought to my door. We won't be polite later."

The soldiers were afraid of scaring away the fat sheep and did not dare to respond loudly. They just hit the people next to them to express their excitement.

When they got closer, the sharp-eyed people were a little disappointed: "Sir, it seems that the people coming are ours? Are they here to meet us?"

"Is it possible that all our people have entered the city?"

"That's impossible. Then there will be more refugees on the road. Maybe they came to help us because we didn't rush back."

"Hey, how can they be so good?"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao was also talking to Xiao Erlang: "Wait a minute and call out: Mr. Jiang, is it you?"

The second half of her sentence really used the dialect of Jiang Baihu and his friends.

She can understand various languages ​​and dialects, which should be considered a blessing from God.

But she found that Xiao Erlang was purely interested in language. He would learn whatever he wanted, and if he listened to a few more sentences, he would be able to learn other people's pronunciation and accent.

But Xiao Erlang was even more shocked when he heard what the third sister said. He thought he had learned to speak quickly enough, but he was tricked by the third sister again.

Well, the strongest has its own strength. He sighed a little disappointedly and said: "Sister, can you say it again?"

Xiao Xiao said it carefully twice more.

Xiao Erlang followed her and whispered a few more times. He saw that the distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer. He followed the instructions of the third sister and deliberately lowered his voice to cover up his immaturity and make his voice hoarse and rough. : "Master Jiang, is it you?"

It is definitely impossible for Mr. Jiang to agree, and he has already been sent to his grave by them.

But Cao Heng and his men didn't know. They thought they were really acquaintances of Jiang Baihu, so they loosened their hands on the handle of the knife.

Some people asked curiously: "It's almost midnight, why are you still rushing here from the city?"

Xiao Erlang didn't dare to say anything.

The main reason is that he doesn't know what to say next, and the third sister didn't teach him?

Xiao Xiao shouted: "Do it!"

Let’s talk about it, now that we are here, do we really want to chat?

Before Xiao Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian, who were hiding in the dark, also shot secret arrows with tacit understanding.

When Xiao Xiao also opened his mouth, he took the lead and rushed forward with his sword drawn. He was so fast that before the other party could react, the sword had already pierced the heart of the man in front of him.

She quickly pulled out, and some hot blood splashed onto her body.

Xiao Xiao's heart was calm and calm, almost ruthless. As expected, you will get used to killing people very quickly.

If you don't kill others, you will be killed.

The people following Xiao Xiao trembled all over when they saw Xiao Xiao's ferocity, and they all rushed forward with weapons in hand.

Although they don't know martial arts, they are very strong as they rely on farming to support their families, and now they are armed with sharp weapons.

No matter how good your skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.

Cao Heng's men couldn't do anything to them for a while, not to mention they had to be careful of hidden arrows hurting people. This person was just trying to make a fool of himself, and he was even more afraid of accidentally hurting his own people.

At this moment, they really want to ask, how can these people who suddenly appear in their skins recognize their own people?
But even if they asked, the people in Xutian Village would not tell them. Before they set off, they all tied several red cloth strips on their arms. The color was particularly conspicuous in the bright night.

Besides, we all live in a small village and play in the mud together when we are naked. The tacit understanding is definitely better than that of the rebels.

After all, Xiao Erlang was only twelve years old, and Xiao Xiao had already arranged his work.

Therefore, Xiao Erlang did not try to be brave. When he saw them taking action, he quickly retreated and shouted with all his strength: "Old Hou and Lao Jin, please do it quickly. We have more than fifty people coming to support you. We should cooperate inside and outside." , destroy them."

In fact, only forty-two people came, mainly because Xutian Village is a small village with only more than thirty households.

But with such a shout, everyone inside will be inspired, and the rebels outside will increase their psychological pressure.

If you feel guilty and your morale is low, one thing will go away and the other will go up.

And the people inside have been paying attention to the situation outside.

I was originally worried that it was really reinforcements from the rebels, so they could really be ready to open the door and surrender.

Unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived, which made everyone extremely happy.

Earlier, when the housekeeper and the others fought against the rebels outside, they were outnumbered and had too many female relatives to protect, so everyone suffered more or less minor injuries.

Now that they heard that more than fifty reinforcements had arrived, everyone felt reassured and opened the door to meet the enemy with great morale.

But as soon as they came out, Xiao Xiao shouted: "Everyone take off your clothes."

This is what was promised before. Wearing their robes can only confuse you for a while.

If they were still wearing rebel robes when Housekeeper Hou and the others rushed out, Housekeeper Hou and the others would be unable to do anything for a while.

Therefore, what Xiao Xiao said about "taking off clothes" was not a honey trap.

But it is convenient for the stewards and others to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

When it comes to their own lives, the common people are very obedient. They take a few steps back and when they reach a safe place, they take off their outer clothes first and then rush forward to fight.

Xiao Erlang relied on his nimble hands and feet to take the risk and stole three quivers that the rebels had placed on the carriage. The quivers were full of arrows.

This made Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian overjoyed.

They were also experienced now. After shooting a few hidden arrows, they quickly changed places and squatted down, so that when the rebels reacted, they would no longer be able to find them.

If Xiao Xiao knew about it, he would definitely praise them for their good understanding and their ability to learn the essence of guerrilla warfare without a teacher.

The enemy was outnumbered, and after fighting for a while, Cao Heng became more and more panicked as he watched his men fall one by one, and finally escaped with seven or eight defeated soldiers.

Of course, before leaving, I didn’t forget to say harsh words: “If you don’t drink a toast, I’ll be fined, so just wait for me!”
