Chapter 111: Can you help?
Chapter 111 Can I help you?
After a day of stop-and-go, seeing the sun was about to set, the convoy in front began to speed up. They wanted to go for a quick walk and go to a town ten miles away to spend the night.
Ye Anlan and the others originally planned to spend the night in that town, but after today's incident, how could Ye Anlan get involved with this group of people again.
She called Chang'an and Wang Tai, "You two take fifty people and follow them from a distance. When they stop to rest, you two will bring people back and let us know. Let's take a longer walk tonight and go to the village in front of them to spend the night." .Tomorrow we will get up a little earlier and try to get rid of them directly."
Chang An nodded, "It's better for Qingji and I to go together. Our goals are small, and if we encounter any danger, we can take care of each other and quickly evacuate."
Ye Anlan was right after thinking about it, so she nodded and agreed with Chang An's suggestion, "Then you two must pay attention to keeping a distance from them."
Otherwise, if someone wants to ambush and bully the few, they will just be the two of them, and they will have nothing to reason with if they suffer.
She contributed her precious medicine powder and pills again, "You take these in case you need them, you all know how to use them, and I have prepared enough antidote for you."
Changan took the coarse cloth bag containing the paper package and small medicine bottle, and rode away with Qingji, while Ye Anlan ordered everyone to rest in place for a while.
She found Mrs. Li, "Mother, take out the steamed stuffed buns left over at noon and let everyone eat them for dinner."
Mrs. Li nodded, and motioned for Aunt Su to take someone to get the steamed stuffed buns stuffed with wild vegetables and pork that she made more at noon.
Aunt Su agreed, and took the other aunts and aunts to distribute buns to everyone, while Li Shi grabbed Ye Anlan's arm and asked, "Shall we drive overnight?"
Ye Anlan nodded, "If you are lucky, you will have to walk another ten miles. If you are unlucky, it is possible to walk twenty or thirty miles."
With the strength of their feet, it would take almost an hour to walk ten miles, and if it was twenty or thirty miles, it would take them almost half an hour.
Mrs. Li understood immediately, "The mother also distributed the coarse grain pancakes that she prepared earlier to everyone."
Those were the lunches that she and her aunts and aunts prepared for everyone at noon today. The team in front were hunting, cooking, and eating slowly at noon, so Ye Anlan asked Li Shi and the others to cook them too. A hot meal was held for everyone to beat their teeth.
Their hunting team brought back a lot of prey, and the members of the guards who did not have pathfinding and security tasks brought back a lot of wild vegetables with the teenagers. The aunts and aunts led by Mrs. Li used the fresh ingredients they brought back to feed Everyone stewed bone soup and steamed big buns.
There are buns left, which can be used as dinner for everyone together with the coarse grain pancakes prepared earlier.
Mrs. Li was so busy here that he managed to finish distributing quota dinners to more than 2,000 people, while Changan and Qingji had already encountered emergencies over there.
The two of them followed the team in front of them less than five miles away, when the team in front was flanked by a group of bandits that suddenly appeared.
One of the team of bandits rushed back from the town. About half of them rode around the convoy on horseback, and the other half were driving carts, bringing all the things they plundered today. Kind of loot.
I don't know if they ransacked the whole town. Just within the sight range of Chang'an and Qingji, there are almost 20 carts of grain, pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, cloth, and I don't know if there are two more carts. There was a big box with something in it, and two carts were strung together with ropes by bandits. She was a young woman who was crying all over her face, but didn't dare to cry loudly.
Further back, because the line of sight was blocked by the mountain, Chang'an and Qingji couldn't see how many vehicles were left and what was on them.
All they could see was a group of bandits who were supposed to show up here to meet their companions, and bandits carrying a large amount of loot, one in front of the other, sandwiching the team in front of them, and then said nothing Then he fought with the guards of that team.
These bandits took advantage of the front and back attacking and attacking them by surprise. Coupled with the large number of people, the team in front was beaten into chaos after a while.
Seeing this scene, Changan and Qingji retreated quietly.
The two used concise words and spoke extremely fast, and quickly told Ye Anlan and others about the previous battle situation.
"...there are too many bandits. Although the guards of that family can fight one against two or even one against three, the opponent's number is four to five times that of theirs. As soon as the two sides meet, the guards of that family die There are about a dozen of them."
What Chang An said was to remind Ye Anlan to make up his mind as soon as possible.
If you want to save them, you must do it immediately, otherwise, when they rush over, the guards of that family will be counted as one by one, and they will all be dead. By then, they will not even have a person who can help .
Ye Anlan is also very aware of this point. Isn't it stupid to die one after another. She didn't want to do business that would cost her money, so she made a quick decision and left Zheng Fengshou and Yang Xiaotao as backup generals just in case, and then arranged for Pei Huaiyu to preside over the overall situation.
As for herself, she finally had the opportunity to fight openly, and of course she was responsible for leading the team to fight the mountain bandits.
Arranging his own rear, Ye Anlan took all the members of the guards in the team who did not have security missions, and went straight to the scene of the scuffle.
But don’t be too anxious, you still need to use some tactics. In order to minimize the risk factor, Ye Anlan did not immediately take everyone to engage in hand-to-hand combat with bandits.
She asked Li Jing to take more than two hundred people with excellent archery skills to occupy a favorable position. First, she used the rain of arrows to disrupt the formation of the bandits and startled the bandits' horses. In chaos, Ye Anlan took the members of the guard who were good at melee combat to kill the bandits.
The bandits never dreamed that they just picked up a fat sheep by chance, and that Cheng Yaojin, who was killed halfway by Ye Anlan and his gang, made dumplings for them.
"Quick, hurry up and get out at this moment!" The family whose guards were nearly 40% dead or injured, not only did the head of the family not intend to join hands with Ye Anlan and the others to fight against the enemy, but instead took advantage of Ye Anlan and the others to deal with the group of bandits behind, and gave birth to a child. The heart to take advantage of the chaos and run away.
The guards who were still alive looked at each other, and finally the middle-aged guard who was the leader stood up bravely. While killing the enemy, he said loudly: "Old man, the road ahead is blocked, we can't get through!"
Actually, it’s not that they can’t make it through, they are a group of horseback riders, and they can go around any corner. The ones who really can’t make it through are the old and weak women and children who can only ride cars_(:з」∠)_
He was slandering, when he heard another female voice coming from the car, "Then you can concentrate on killing the enemy first, I don't think it will take long for these bandits to flee one after another."
The middle-aged guards led by him secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, old lady."
