The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Although there were a small number of refugees who had just experienced a battle with them.

But the two sides are not very familiar with each other, so there is no question of trusting each other.

At this time, the refugees heard the powerful explosion and moved the carriage to an open space on the east side of the forest, far away from where they were ambushing.

As usual, Lu Tianming left the women to guard the gunpowder area, and he went out of the woods with a big knife.

Before I even walked out of the woods, I saw a group of men on the slope ahead running back in a hurry.

Lu Tianming was shocked. Before he could ask what was going on, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away.

There is no need to ask now, the officers and soldiers are here again!

And judging from the sound of horse hooves, there must be quite a few people coming.

The group quickly fled into the woods and found a place to ambush.

At this time, Lu Qingqing told Lu Tianming the details of what she had just seen.

This group of officers and soldiers numbered about one or two hundred people.

What is strange is that there were no fleeing refugees in front of this large group of officers and soldiers. It is obvious that they did not come here to chase refugees.

After listening to what Lu Qingqing said, Lu Tianming felt his heart tighten.

He stared straight ahead, but in his mind he was wondering why this group of soldiers came.

Quickly eliminate several reasons, and finally only the two most likely ones remain.

First, these officers and soldiers were patrolling the encirclement to see if there were any refugees left behind.

Second, this group of officers and soldiers were looking for the dozens of officers and soldiers they had killed!

Based on previous situations, it can be inferred that the officers and soldiers formed a circle when capturing the soldiers this time.

Those who escaped from the official road were probably also expected by others.

I guess the problem on the official road has been resolved by now.

Now, no matter which of these two possibilities it is, it is not a good thing for them.

Everyone in the forest was praying, hoping that the large number of soldiers would not discover them.

Unfortunately, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come to you.

Then I heard the sound of a large number of horse hooves getting closer and closer until they stopped at the outskirts of the woods.

When the sound of horse hooves stopped, Lu Qingqing heard a deep male voice outside.

"Everyone, get off your horses and search the woods!"

These words were like a bolt of lightning, striking everyone in the forest.

Whether they were refugees or people in the team, they all looked sad, feeling that they might not be able to survive this.

This group of officers and soldiers was several times their number and was all equipped with weapons.

Even if the gunpowder could injure some officers and soldiers, there would still be many people left.

Moreover, once the gunpowder exploded, the officers and soldiers stationed on the official road would definitely hear the noise and rush over.

As for being caught obediently, if you don't say it, you will just be cannon fodder.

They killed so many officers and soldiers, but if there was even one informer, none of them would survive!

This game looks like a dead end no matter how you look at it.

In the entire team, only Lu Tianming, Lu Qingqing and Master Yan's disciples looked relatively calm.

These people had seen the explosion in Jingou before and were quite confident about the gunpowder they had buried.

However, nothing is absolute, so you still have to prepare early.

Lu Tianming quickly selected a dozen men and ambushed them outside the woods, responsible for leading the officers and soldiers to the place where they buried the gunpowder.

Among them, the leader was his son Lu Shuhe.

He knew his son well and knew his abilities, so he just gave him a few simple instructions.

Then he took the remaining people and quickly returned to the area where the gunpowder was buried and set up an ambush.

In addition, the most important step was that he arranged several women who were known to be reliable to be responsible for igniting the gunpowder.

This gunpowder is the key to the success or failure of this battle!

As for those in their team who had no fighting ability, such as the elderly, children and Sun Cui, they had already returned to the carriage on the west side of the forest.

Those who stay here can help in the battle!

After the assignment, everyone began to wait patiently for the officers and soldiers to approach.

Lu Qingqing stared at the front, listening to the sounds made by the officers and soldiers outside the woods, and her heart beat faster unconsciously.

Beside him, Qin Lang seemed to have noticed her abnormality, and he shook her wrist and said in a very low voice:

"Daya, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Lu Qingqing looked at Qin Lang, who had a serious expression on his face, and inexplicably felt a little relieved.

She gripped the bow tightly and began to focus on the front.

At this time, in front of the forest.

The first soldier appeared in the sight of Lu Shuhe and a dozen other men, followed by the second and third.

Their mission in ambush here was to lure officers and soldiers into the area where gunpowder was buried.

This requires that they should not be too close or too far away from the officers and soldiers.

Lu Shuhe stared nervously ahead, watching the officers and soldiers getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the time was almost right, he whispered:

"run!"

Then, he stood up first and ran into the depths of the woods.

The officers and soldiers in the rear were startled at first, but then they saw more than a dozen men escaping, and they were overjoyed and shouted loudly:

"There are refugees here, come and catch them!"

There were only five or six officers and soldiers who came to this place to search.

Because of the casualties on the official road, they did not rush to chase after them, but waited for the arrival of their companions.

Lu Shu and a few others ran towards the woods, looking back at the officers and soldiers from time to time.

Seeing that the people hadn't caught up with them, if they ran any further they would be out of their sight.

Just as Lu Shuhe was getting anxious, he saw Li Rui, who was at the end, suddenly slip and fall to the ground with a cry of "ouch".

Seeing this, Lu Shuhe and others in front hurried back to help.

At this time, the officers and soldiers around also heard the noise and shouted as they chased after this place.

After helping Li Rui up, Lu Shuhe ran inside while supporting him.

With the 'burden' of being supported, the speed naturally slowed down.

At this time, forty or fifty officers and soldiers had gathered behind them. They chased them while shouting:

"Stop immediately and save your lives!"

Lu Shuhe looked back at the distance from time to time to make sure they could keep up and lead the people towards the gunpowder.

By the time they were about to reach the ambush, there were already more than a hundred officers and soldiers following behind.

Lu Tianming hid in the dark, watching the people in front enter the encirclement, while dozens of officers and soldiers behind were still dragging their feet and had not come in. He couldn't help but frown.

No, we can’t delay any longer!

"action!"

Lu Tianming shouted loudly, and the people who were lying in ambush around him stood up together.

Of course, the main purpose of this action was to let the woman who was responsible for lighting the fuse of the gunpowder take action.

When the officers and soldiers saw so many people lying in ambush around them, they were frightened for a moment.

They didn't notice at all that the woman in charge of lighting the gunpowder was lying in ambush not far away.

The officers and soldiers held their swords in front of them and looked around vigilantly.

But after seeing the number of people in ambush, he relaxed a little.

One of the leading officers said:

"You bold and unruly people, do you want to rebel?

With just your small number of people, do you think you can compete with us?

I tell you, surrender early, and I will be magnanimous and not bother with you!"

As the man spoke, he couldn't hide the sneer on his face.

Lu Tianming didn't expect that this soldier would talk so much and actually delay time.

He originally thought that both sides would fight directly, so he arranged so many men to lie in ambush, ready to delay them during the battle.

After all, it takes time to light the fuse.

This way, no one in the team can achieve their goal without getting hurt, which is naturally the best!
