I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 91 Take the initiative
The autumn heat is still very severe. People feel dizzy from the heat during the day, and before it is time to rest, heavy rain suddenly falls.
While the people were busy covering the oilcloth, soothing the horses, and searching for straw raincoats and hats to wear, the officer leader Wang Lie suddenly gave the order: "Move forward quickly!" The food delivery team was immediately filled with cries of grief. This was simply a way to kill people!
Fortunately, this heavy rain washed away the summer heat. The rain was very cool, much better than the scorching sun during the day.
However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the road began to gather. After being soaked by the rain and crushed by the wheels, the road surface became muddy in a blink of an eye.
The wheels of the wagons carrying heavy loads of grain were deeply sunk into the mud. Originally they only had to follow the team, but now everyone had to push the wagons hard to move forward.
Fortunately, with Jiang Yue's help, their car moved faster and they successfully left behind the officer who kept yelling at them to "move faster!"
In this way, with a total of twenty cars and an hour of driving, their team quickly arrived at the post station twenty miles away.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and many civilians were dumbfounded. It rained from the afternoon until noon the next day without a break, and the ground of the entire post station turned into a pool of mud and rainwater mixed together, making it turbid.
After the rain stopped, Jiang Ming felt the accumulated water and found it was above his calves.
Of course, there was no time to delay. The time for delivering military rations was limited. If they were late, they would be punished by military law. The leading officer shouted to the civilians: "Hurry up."
The driver in front drove the cart, and five laborers pushed hard on the left and right sides, and they had to watch out for the grain bags falling into the mud. If they were not careful, they would fall off the cart.
"Hurry up, the military mission cannot be delayed!" the escorting officers and soldiers shouted.
It was easier to push the cart through the low-lying area and onto the official road. On the muddy road, the wheels were soon covered with mud, so we had to stop and pry the wheels open.
As they walked and stopped, the leader Wang Lie became more and more irritable. They could see refugees in groups of three or four on the road. Some of them coveted food and were knocked to the ground by Wang Lie's whip, which frightened the other refugees so much that they fled far away.
Anyone who dares to touch the military rations will be killed without mercy!
After walking for half a day, they had covered less than ten miles.
"Stop the car, fix it up, and camp in the wild tonight!"
The ground was still wet, so it was impossible to sleep. The militiamen from each car stayed behind to guard, and the rest sat together, back to back, for a short rest. Jiang Yue climbed up the nearest tree, keeping alert at all times.
Nothing happened that night. The chief officer Wang Lie took out the roster and called the roll. There were six laborers in one car, and there were 120 people in 20 cars. After the roll call, all 120 were present, including one more person, Jiang Yue.
Wang Lie then reminded loudly: "The front is the border of Nandu County. This is where our Daqian and Jiaochi enemy troops are fighting. The enemy may appear at any time to plunder our food. We must not take it lightly!"
"Now sharpen your weapons. Once you enter Nandu County, kill the enemies as hard as you can!"
"The military order has been issued. If anyone dares to escape, the entire group will be punished. The escapee will be punished by military law, and the three clans will be punished as well."
This is a deterrent. With the list, the place of origin, and detailed records, no one can expect to take any chances.
The group had just walked a few miles when things started to look bad. Wang Lie kept sending soldiers to explore the way ahead, and soldiers would come back to report the situation. Jiang Yue was too far away to hear clearly, but she could tell that Wang Lie, the leader, looked unhappy.
The series of strange behaviors made the civilians feel uneasy. An hour later, they met the first grain transport team.
The carriages and horses were all there, as were the provisions, but the casualties were heavy, and even more than a dozen war horses had fallen. The mess on the ground told them that there had been a fierce fight here.
When the other team leader saw Wang Lie, he immediately rushed over. His arm was injured by an arrow, but he only broke the tail of the arrow. He didn't care about his own injury at all and asked Wang Lie to help him complete the task of transporting grain.
I don’t know what conditions the two men discussed in private, but Wang Lie only allowed the other team to follow behind. They could not borrow any men or horses, but had to find a way to transport food to catch up.
There were many fellow villagers in the two grain transport teams. As the saying goes, "When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears." In this grain transport team, Jiang Yue saw Meng Dazhuang and Jiang Youtian. They were assigned to the same grain transport team, but the leading officer was not very capable and was attacked by the enemy army. Most of the militiamen were killed or injured, and the grain transport was put on hold.
Jiang Ming looked at the two fellow villagers, took out the still hot cakes from his arms and shared them with the two of them. The others helped to transport the food, and he could do nothing else.
The soldier is back again, and this news makes Wang Lie horrified. There is a small group of enemy troops ahead, and it is this group of people who attacked the grain transport team just now.
"All militiamen, protect the food in your vehicles. All the militiamen behind each convoy, gather here!"
Jiang Ming was transferred out later, and Jiang Yue followed him over.
"Wang Shoujun, what's going on?"
Jiang Yue was able to follow the grain transport team because of Zhai Qingya's favor. Wang Lie was quite polite to her.
"Nine enemy soldiers have been spotted ahead. We can't avoid them. Prepare to fight. One soldier leads two militiamen to form a team. We will ambush them 200 meters ahead. We'll strike first and have the upper hand!"
The forest was surrounded by fog. After waiting for only half an hour, they saw a group of enemy soldiers searching in the forest. They first saw the grain transport convoy, screaming fiercely and heading straight for the grain transport truck. The militiamen trembled when they saw the enemy coming, but no one dared to flee. They held knives in their hands and looked ahead, surrounding the grain in the middle.
This is the life of all of them. Everyone's fate is tied to the car. If one loss happens, all will suffer. If the enemy dares to come, they will fight to the death!
When the enemy ran to 200 meters away, there was a sudden shout of killing. Wang Lie, Jiang Yue and others who were in ambush immediately jumped out to fight. Jiang Yue then saw the legendary people who were extremely tall, almost two meters tall. They had red skin all over their bodies, and their short eyes flashed with greed.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Jiang Yue swung his saber, but the saber was blocked by the enemy's arms. These guys were very strong, and Jiang Yue jumped up and stabbed the enemy's throat with his saber.
"thump!"
The enemies fell down. Although they were strong, they were not agile enough.
"Don't fight them head-on. Three of you should surround them!"
While fighting, Jiang Yue kept an eye on Jiang Ming's situation.
The Jiaoshi man still charged forward without fear in the face of the three men's siege. A militiaman could not help but feel a little scared, but Jiang Ming did not retreat. He cooperated with the soldiers and attacked the Jiaoshi man closely.
The soldier dodged the fierce blow of the Jiaoshi man and swung his sword at his leg. Jiang Ming rushed over and took the opportunity to attack from the side, making the Jiaoshi man exhausted. The remaining militiaman also gained courage and used the surrounding environment to constantly create interference, restricting the Jiaoshi man's actions.
