Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 56 Ambush

Zhao Hanzhang took out all the young people visible to the naked eye and arranged them. At a glance, she saw a curtain being lowered, so she walked forward and pulled Jia Erlang down, who was huddled inside, "You go to the front."

Jia Erlang's face turned pale and he said, "I won't go. The number of people in my family is no less than that of yours. You're just pretending to be so powerful."

Zhao Hanzhang dragged him forward, but Jia Erlang found that he couldn't get away.

Zhao Hanzhang whipped him forward hard, threw the sword on him as an accessory and said: "You stay in front of this car. Behind this car are your mother and sister. If you don't, I will Let there be a gap here."

Jia Erlang:......

The gentlemen who were thinking about paddling to hide behind said:...

Although it is true that they are afraid of death, behind them are mothers, wives, daughters or sisters.

They silently clenched the swords in their hands. Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin slightly and said, "Go forward according to the position I have arranged for you."

The team has been adjusted. It is much more orderly and faster. It seems to be stronger than before. However, Zhao Hanzhang knows that this is just a fake appearance. Without training, the cooperation between them is almost zero. Once they encounter the insurgent army, , this team is vulnerable.

But... at least it improves the success rate and gives everyone a little more life.

People who had escaped from the city gate caught up with them. Seeing that they were moving in an orderly manner and many of them were young and strong, they immediately followed them, hoping to gain some ground.

Zhao Hanzhang and others were also happy to follow them. This was a wilderness, and the more people there were, the greater the chance of survival.

The group of people ran forward with all their strength. The horses and mules were panting from exhaustion, but no one dared to stop, because the people chasing behind them shouted: "The rebel army is coming, the rebel army is coming..."

Zhao Hanzhang looked back and saw from a distance that the rebels were chasing a group of fleeing civilians, and there were about a dozen of them on horseback.

Perhaps they didn't dare to go deep. The men on horseback caught up and killed them, then turned around. After a while, they came back to kill them again.

In this way, Zhao Hanzhang kicked his horse and ran forward, while looking back to calculate the time interval and forward speed of their attacks, his heart sank.

By running like this, it would take less than an hour for them to break through the fleeing crowd behind them and reach them.

Unless they want to flee like the people behind them, because the number is scattered and the rebels are too lazy to chase them.

But this is impossible. Not only did they bring so much luggage with them, but even if they lost all their luggage, they still had so many people, carriages and horses.

They can't escape separately.

Zhao Hanzhang reined in his horse, turned around and said to Mr. Jia and others: "If this doesn't work, we have to stop the pursuers."

Mr. Jia was not ignorant. He looked back at the approaching rebel army and said with a headache: "They are all desperadoes. We have scattered many people. How can we stop them?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The most important thing is their horses. We must destroy their horses, otherwise none of us will be able to escape in less than an hour."

Mr. Jia pondered for a moment and then asked, "What does Sanniang want to do?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Give me bows and arrows, and give me twenty men."

Mr. Jia looked at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji opened his mouth and asked Zhao Hanzhang to stop messing around. Mr. Chen, the neighbor from the next street who was running away with them, already said: "Okay, I have five people in my family, let Sanniang decide what to do."

Mr. Jia then said: "Okay, bows and arrows...I will provide ten of them, and I will provide five of them."

Zhao Hanzhang said calmly: "The remaining ten will come from the Zhao family."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Uncle, I want to pick ten people to stay."

Zhao Ji nodded in front of everyone.

Zhao Hanzhang was not polite and directly ordered ten people.

As for the remaining bows and arrows, they were also provided by the Zhao family.

Zhao Changyu is rich. Although he is a bit stingy in terms of living expenses, he is not stingy at all in raising money, and his equipment is excellent.

The same goes for bows and arrows.

Zhao Hanzhang took the bow from a guard, stretched out his hand and slowly pulled it open. After getting used to the strength, he let go and took a quiver of arrows.

She rode up to catch up with Wang's carriage in front of her, and said to Uncle Cheng who was sitting on the shaft: "You take my mother and Erlang to chase the army. I will take the rear."

She turned to look at Erlang, leaned forward to touch his hair, "Erlang, you have to follow my mother's carriage closely and protect my mother, you know?"

Zhao Erlang nodded seriously and promised: "Sister, don't worry, I will protect you."

He paused and then said: "There is also sister."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."

Wang heard this and opened the curtains to look at her, "Sanniang, how old are you and you are a girl, how can I let you be the queen?"

She said angrily: "Is your uncle trying to harm you?"

This time, Zhao Ji was wronged. Zhao Hanzhang said: "No, I asked to go myself. Auntie, if no one is there to stop the rebel army behind, they will catch up soon."

Wang said cowardly: "There are still many people behind us. Those of us running at the front may be able to catch up with the army soon."

"There are no unbroken eggs after overturning the nest. I dare not bet that the situation ahead will definitely be in our favor, so the following group of rebels must be blocked, or at least get rid of their horses."

Zhao Hanzhang stretched out her hand and slapped the horse's butt hard, making their carriage speed up. She slowly reined in the horse and watched them run away.

The selected guards also stopped aside, standing on the roadside watching them go away. Fleeing people kept running past them. The number of people was so dense that she couldn't even set a trap on the road.

Zhao Hanzhang clenched the bow in her hand and scanned the woods on both sides. She carefully looked at the nearby terrain and arranged them in groups of three. There were four groups in total, guarding each other on both sides. .

"Our purpose is to shoot the horses. As long as their horses are injured, it will be difficult for the infantry to catch up with our troops."

"But what should we do? If the shot fails, they will arrive in a moment. By then we..."

Infantry versus cavalry basically had no chance of winning, not to mention the Huns who were good at riding and shooting.

"So we are lying in ambush in the forest, each with three arrows. After shooting all of them, we immediately get into the forest. There are many dense trees here, and the speed of the horse is limited. Whether you can escape or not depends on your luck. "

The eight people who had not yet been arranged looked at each other and asked quietly, "What about us?"

"You are responsible for pulling the rope."

"Although their cavalry made a surprise attack, the infantry followed closely behind them. With a pull on the trip horse rope, we..."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed in his heart. After all, he was not a soldier in the army. In the army, one could only obey orders. Soldiers were not afraid of death. Even if they were afraid, they would not express their fear of death as a question.

Zhao Hanzhang dismounted, patted the horse's butt and let it go into the woods to rest for a while. He looked at them calmly and said, "I will be with you. If you shoot arrows, I will shoot arrows too. And I will give you the rear. I won't do it until you all run away." Stop and leave, so if you die, I will die too."

"The people running in front are my relatives and friends. If we can't keep their horses, they will leave our relatives and friends on this road for at most an hour." Zhao Hanzhang glanced at their faces and asked in a deep voice. : "So, will you come with me? Of course, this is a matter of narrow escape. If you don't want to, you can leave now."

The twenty people couldn't help but look at each other, and after a long silence, they clasped their fists and bent down, "I will obey Miss Zhao's instructions."

Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief quietly, nodded and said: "They are almost here, get ready."
