After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 21 Being unkind

"court death!"

There was a hint of ferocity in Song Ji's eyes.

Since Jiang Che was not fooled, there was no need for him to waste any more time. He immediately gave an order and arrows whizzed out and shot towards the convoy.

At the same time, the dozens of riders surrounding the rear of the convoy were also ready for battle. They would charge forward as soon as the arrows stopped.

This is not robbery at all, but robbery and killing!

"Everyone, relying on the defense of the convoy, will fight to the death to protect Madam Zhu today." Jiang Che raised his hand with a knife, stopped an arrow, and shouted towards the surroundings.

The bandit's arrows were soft and not powerful enough.

But now he has gained a lot of strength and has a strength of hundreds of kilograms. As long as he is more vigilant, the opponent will not be able to hit him. What is really worth worrying about is the charge after the opponent's arrows stop.

The Zhu family's bodyguards were basically made up of farmers, and they were okay in showing off, but it was completely useless when they really fought. Just like now, the well-trained soldiers in the main camp dodge arrows flexibly.

But most of the guards were unable to react in time, and several of them were shot down in a short period of time.

The only thing worth relying on is the twenty soldiers under his command.

Although these people are just government soldiers, they are usually well-trained. Many of them have even begun to practice martial arts, and they are still better than the chaotic bandits opposite.

The arrows were messy like rain, and the charge was no longer possible. Jiang Che immediately dismounted and gathered around with several soldiers, holding a wooden board from the carriage as a shield. The previously arrogant Zhu Qingqing had lost her mind and could only lower her head and hide in later.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Blocking and retreating, Jiang Che and the others gradually retreated to the carriage. Jiang Che looked at Mrs. Zhu who was lying in the carriage and did not dare to raise her head and asked quickly.

"Commander Jiang Jiang, if you find it difficult to deal with this, I beg you not to mind Qing'er's previous rudeness, take her with you and leave me alone." Mrs. Zhu raised her head and begged.

"Don't worry, madam."

Jiang Che nodded.

About thirty breaths later, the bandit's arrow rain gradually stopped, and all the arrows of Jiang Che's soldiers were almost exhausted. The casualties were not too small, and several soldiers were shot and wounded.

Half of the guards fell to the ground, and some of them had thrown away their swords and were lying on the ground. Those who dared to fight with their swords were no more than one palm.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

Song Ji roared, and more than a hundred bandits finally launched a general attack.

Jiang Che grabbed the reins and climbed onto the horse, pulled Zhu Qingqing up, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, hold me tight."

"Thank you"

Zhu Qingqing was inexplicably grateful.

But she didn't know at all that Jiang Che was using her as a human shield. If things turned around later, his fault wouldn't be too great. After all, he was leading the eldest lady to break out of the encirclement.

"kill!"

Jiang Che pointed his sword, and more than ten soldiers got on their horses and prepared to charge.

Before that, Jiang Che, a guy who was an auxiliary soldier, commanded them. Most of them were actually dissatisfied, but with his calm response just now, all the soldiers already regarded him as their backbone.

"I'll clear the way!"

Geng Dabiao was holding a large wooden board that was three feet long and leading the way with a fierce look.

"If you want to break out, dream!"

Song Ji saw Jiang Che's plan and sneered. If nearly a hundred elite bandits allowed Jiang Che and others to escape when they were surrounded, they would be looking down on him.

After the order was given to take action, more than a hundred bandits were approaching, and the two sides officially began to fight hand-to-hand.

Song Ji also took direct aim at Jiang Che and Zhu Qingqing behind him. He jumped a few feet and was close to them in an instant. His palm turned green and he smashed down like a mountain.

"Ding!"

When the flesh palm and the long knife clashed, the sound they made was the sound of gold and iron. Its powerful force made his blood surge, and the war horse beneath him became a little unstable. The other party's strength is far superior to him!

"die!"

Song Ji turned over and used his strength to jump to the tree trunk and hit him again. Jiang Che's face hardened and he was about to use Zhu Qingqing as a human shield. But before he could make a move, he saw a puff of dust and smoke billowing in the distance with his peripheral vision.

There is also a flag with the word "zhu" looming.

With his mind spinning, Jiang Che held down Zhu Qingqing with one hand and punched Song Ji.

"boom!"

The fists and palms collided, letting out a muffled groan. Song Ji was knocked back, and the horse under Jiang Che was also knocked to his knees. He rolled several times on the ground.

His arm was sore and he had obviously been injured by the shock.

However, while the two sides were fighting, reinforcements from the distance were already approaching. Arrows struck through the air, and several bandits were killed on the spot.

Song Ji's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect such a change at all. He glanced at Jiang Che unwillingly, turned around and grabbed a horse and fled quickly.

Of course, as he retreated, he also shouted:

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

In fact, Song Ji's orders were not needed, because when they saw a large number of soldiers approaching, many sharp-eyed bandits had already ran away, running alone, and then a large-scale retreat.

"Jiang Che, Jiang Che, are you okay?"

Zhu Qingqing also fell to the ground because her horse fell down. Seeing Jiang Che holding her arm in disgrace, she quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I am fine."

"Thank you very much just now."

Zhu Qingqing lowered her head and thanked her.

The wind from Song Ji's punch hit the side of her face. She was so frightened that she lost her soul. If Jiang Che hadn't pulled her out, she might have died.

Now that the initial contempt had disappeared, she felt nothing but gratitude in her heart after experiencing the severe beating.

Jiang Che glanced at the pursuing reinforcements, and a warm smile appeared on his face:
  "Miss Zhu, just be fine."

He also secretly thought that Zhu Qingqing was destined to be lucky. If he hadn't seen someone rushing to help, he would have used her as a human shield just now. As long as she could block the blow, he would have a good chance of escaping.

But who lets the facts change?

The reinforcements continued to pursue the bandits, but Jiang Che immediately began to count the casualties.

More than half of the twenty soldiers who came with him to escort him were killed or wounded. Only five people in the Zhu family's nursing home were still alive. The rest died on the spot. Mrs. Zhu was equally fatal.

Hiding in the carriage, she was not noticed at all. Apart from being slightly frightened, she was fine.

However, Geng Dabiao's arm was slightly injured and was being bandaged at the moment.

Not long after, the reinforcements finally came back, and many of them were holding bloody packages in their hands. It didn't take much to think about what they were, which was beyond Jiang Che's expectation.

This time it was not Liu Zhi who led the rescue team.

But being unkind.

The other party first said hello to Mrs. Zhu, and then went straight to him. The first sentence he said was:

"We meet again, Jiang Che, right?"

"Yes, Commander Gou."

Jiang Che raised his head and smiled.

"You are smart and sent people in advance to ask for reinforcements. I didn't stop at all along the way. If I hadn't been intercepted, I might have arrived long ago. Also, this time I saved your life. How are you going to thank me? "
