Chapter 1001 Retreat to Wuzhizhuang
"Enemy attack!" As the guards outside shouted, Li Xiu in the carriage reacted. He was frightened to death when he looked at the long arrow in front of him. Then he closed the car window and hid in the corner of the carriage. After all, it was too dark now, the enemy was dark and they were in the dark. And their target must be himself. If he had taken the carriage now, it would definitely attract more bows and arrows.
The guards outside also reacted quickly. When the first long arrow shot, they had already reacted and shouted to protect Li Xiu's carriage. However, this time the attack was obviously more than one person, and they had a sophisticated plan. With a roar, countless arrows rushed out like locusts in the darkness.
Li Xiu's guards were all old men of the Detachment of Women. They had rich advantages and experience, and their equipment was extremely excellent. However, even so, in such situations, there were still casualties in such situations as dark and we were still open. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were shot off the horse, and most of the remaining people were injured.
Li Xiu didn't expect that there would be so many people who ambushed him this time. Through the gap in the car window, he saw the guards beside him fall down one by one. He felt that his heart was bleeding, but then he calmed down and calculated the time he had come out. He found that this place was still far from Chang'an City Gate.
In fact, the ambush locations of these ambush candidates were very clever, just at the middle point between Li Xiu's house and Chang'an City. In this way, no matter which direction they fled, it would be difficult for them to find reinforcements.
"Damn it!" After discovering the above problem, Li Xiu couldn't help but slam the carriage in anger. If they were closer to the city gate, they could rush forward with all their might. There were a large number of defenders at the city gate, so the assassination of his own naturally did not dare to get close. It would be better if they were closer to home. As long as the home heard the noise, Princess Pingyang would definitely send someone to rescue.
But now he was not relying on both ends, and the attack of the ambushers was urgent. The guards outside couldn't stop them for long, and this was thanks to Princess Pingyang who asked him to bring more guards, otherwise he might have become someone else's sword ghost now.
"Retreat to Wuzhizhuang!" But at this moment, I suddenly heard the guard leader outside shouting, which made Li Xiu suddenly realize that this place is not far from Wuzhizhuang, and Wuzhizhuang is originally the territory of the veterans of the Women's Detachment of the Women's Army, and as long as he gets there, it will be safe!
With the shout of the guards, the guards immediately turned their horses, protected Li Xiu's carriage and ran wildly towards Wuzhizhuang. Wuzhizhuang was next to the yellow canal, about several miles away from here, and they usually arrive in a short time when riding horses.
However, just as Li Xiu and the others moved, the people who were ambushing seemed to understand their intentions and no longer shoot arrows. Two teams of men in black came out from both sides of the road, as if they were trying to block Li Xiu and the others on the official road.
Just now, because it was too dark and the ambushers only fired arrows, the guards around Li Xiu suffered a great loss because they couldn't find anyone if they wanted to fight back, not to mention how frustrating they were. But now they saw the ambushers killing them, and now they finally found a place to vent. They were all veterans in the Women's Army back then. Even if they hadn't been on the battlefield for several years, the courage they had trained back then was still there. At that time, under the command of the guard leader, a team of people immediately sent them to meet them.
As soon as the guards came into contact with the man in black, blood and his feet flew, and his screams were even more connected. Although these man in black had a large number, they were obviously not in the military formation. Even though some of the man in black had excellent martial arts skills, they did not know how to cooperate. As a result, they were killed by the guards. After all, these guards were killed from the dead on the battlefield, and they were extremely familiar with each other. The cooperation between the teams was like a monster with multiple skills.
However, although the guards had the upper hand at the beginning, there were too many men in black. Not only were there in front and on both sides, but there were men in black rushing out behind them, so the guards did not dare to fight. After several cavalrymen rushed to the road, Li Xiu's carriage followed closely. Several other guards simply jumped onto Li Xiu's carriage to prevent the men in black from approaching.
Li Xiu's guards ran all the way, but the man in black behind was chasing him and would shoot cold arrows from time to time, which resulted in constant casualties and injuries of the guards. Although Li Xiu was so angry that he was so angry that he had no choice. After all, he was not a general. He was really fighting with others with a knife. I am afraid that any man in black could kill him.
Fortunately, they were only a few miles away from Wuzhizhuang, and the guards were killing and retreating. Although many people fell down on the way, they finally succeeded in coming outside the entrance of Wuzhizhuang. Wuzhizhuang was composed of five long-shaped sects, which looked like five fingers.
Most of the young men in the five farms were organized to form caravans to travel around the Tang Dynasty. Although it was very hard to go to business, the income was very rich. Therefore, Wuzhizhuang was one of the richest farms around. Therefore, not only were the houses in the villages beautiful, but the roads were also very wide. There was even a huge square in front of the five farms. This place was mainly used for martial arts performances by five farms. After all, the farms were all from brigades, and they also needed to use force to protect their safety when traveling business. Therefore, the five farms were also strong in martial arts style. Children of all sizes were often supervised by several coaches to practice martial arts.
But it was already late at night, and there was naturally no one in the square in front of the village. However, when Li Xiu's carriage rushed into the square, the man in black behind also chased him. He surrounded Li Xiu's carriage, and the guards also protected the carriage in the middle and fought desperately with the man in black.
Although he was surrounded, Li Xiu calmed down instead. Because the sound of chopping and slaughtering here had already alarmed the village. Several families near the square had already lit up the lights. Li Xiu even saw that Xiang Shanzhi's home was also lit up. Xiang Shanzhi was the heads of five villages, and the house was built next to the square. He used to go to business with the caravan, but in recent years, he has stayed at home to teach the children in the village to practice martial arts.
"Help me!" Li Xiu shouted in the direction of the Zhuangzi. Although the people in the Zhuangzi were alarmed, the Zhuangzi must be very cautious when encountering such unknown situations. After all, it was so dark and there were people fighting outside. Generally, timid people would not dare to go out at all. Although Wuzhizhuang is from a corps, there is no need to fight for strangers, so people in the Zhuangzi must know that they are here.
