Chapter 343： Ambushed

Chapter 343 Encountered an ambush

"There is an ambush." ​​Wei Jin also said.

Is there an ambush? how come?

Although it is close to the battlefield, this place is behind the battlefield.

Even if there are thieves, there are only local bandits and robbers or forced refugees.

But these people absolutely dare not touch the things of the army.

Xu Zhengyong's people were wearing military uniforms, and the flag of the army was hanging high. How could they ambush them?

Just when Xu Zhengyong was suspicious, several arrows shot out from the mountains on both sides of the front, heading towards their team of food and grass.

Xu Zhengyong subconsciously turned around to protect Wei Ruo, but there was a figure moving faster than him.

Wei Ruo didn't realize what happened, and his body fell into a firm embrace.

Wei Ruo looked up and saw Wei Jinyi's profile.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that the knife he had drawn out from nowhere was blocking the incoming arrows, and the harsh sound of the metal arrow colliding with the knife rang in Wei Ruo's ears.

Xu Zhengyong glanced at Wei Jinyi and found that his martial arts skills were extremely high. After making sure that Wei Ruo was safe by his side, he no longer had to worry about the future.

Xu Zhengyong pulled out his saber and ordered to the soldiers he brought: "Follow me to break through!"

After speaking, Xu Zhengyong took the lead and rushed to the hillsides on both sides of the road.

The soldiers followed closely, drawing their swords to fight.

Wei Ruo, who was protected by Wei Jinyi, tightly hugged Wei Jinyi's waist with both hands, and pressed his body against Wei Jinyi's chest.

She knew that what she had to do now was to be obedient and not make trouble.

Although he couldn't do anything physically, Wei Ruo observed the hillsides on both sides to determine the position and approximate number of ambushers.

There are about twenty people on each side. They are condescending and occupy a favorable terrain.

If you forcefully break through with your body, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

After understanding the general situation, Wei Ruo had a countermeasure in mind.

"Second brother, there is a red wooden box on the first carriage, which contains black spherical objects. You light them and throw them on the mountains on both sides." Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi.

After listening to Wei Ruo's words, Wei Jin also glanced at the first carriage behind him.

Then, holding Wei Ruo in his arms, he jumped a few times, came to the carriage, raised the knife and split the rope and linen wrapped in the carriage.

In addition to food, there is also a red wooden box.

After opening the box, the inside was exactly what Wei Ruo said was round and dark, with a line on each of them.

Wei Jin also put Wei Ruo down and let him hide under the car.

Wei Ruo squatted on the ground obediently, took out a fire pocket from her arms and handed it to Wei Jinyi.

"Huo Zhezi, light that fuse."

Without any hesitation or questioning, Wei Jin also quickly took the torch handed over by Wei Ruo, lit the fuse, and then threw it up, kicking him towards the ambush position on the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang", which shook the entire narrow path.

Xu Zhengyong, who was charging, and his team were blindfolded.

When everyone was shocked, Wei Jin also kicked out the second and third...

Explosions sounded one after another.

The sound was so loud that it seemed like mountains were falling apart.

This place is located between two mountains, and the two mountains can amplify the sound, making the explosion sound extraordinarily loud.

After a while, there was no movement on the hillsides on both sides.

Wei Jin also stopped, holding a bomb in his hand, and staring at the hillsides on both sides.

Wei Ruo poked his head out from under the car, Wei Jin also signaled her to wait, Wei Ruo hid his head back again.

Then Xu Zhengyong led people to rush to the hillsides on both sides. After confirming that all the people in ambush were dead, he greeted everyone.

Wei Jin also pulled Wei Ruo out from under the car.

Wei Jin also carefully looked at Wei Ruo's body, and made sure that she was only covered with dirt and was not injured.

"Second brother, are your feet not swollen?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.

"No."

"This bomb is quite heavy. If you kick it with your foot, I feel like a normal person could break a bone." Wei Ruo said looking at Wei Jinyi's foot.

Wei Ruo thought that Wei Jin would also throw it with his hands, but he didn't expect him to choose to kick it with his feet.

If everyone has the skill of the second brother, there is no need to make a special projectile.

"It's okay." Wei Jin also replied.

"Don't lie to me, take off your shoes and show me later. If you are injured or broken, I will give you some medicine."

"It's really fine." Wei Jin also emphasized.

In order to divert Wei Ruo's attention, Wei Jin also asked Wei Ruo: "What is this ball?"

"This is a bomb. The principle is similar to that of setting off firecrackers and fireworks when we celebrate New Years and festivals, but this one is much more powerful." Wei Ruo explained.

Speaking, Wei Ruo picked up a weight in his hand and said, "I put it on the grain cart specially, and I thought it was just in case, but I didn't expect it to be really useful."

Xiaobei who ran back with Xiumei happened to hear what Wei Ruo said, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, where did you get such a powerful thing?"

"Borrowed from the gods." Wei Ruo replied.

"Huh?" Xiaobei stared blankly.

Then he looked back at his young master foolishly.

Wei Jin didn't speak either, but he already knew it.

While Wei Ruo and the others were talking, Xu Zhengyong came down from the hillside.

"If..." Xu Zhengyong almost slipped his tongue, and after a pause, he asked Wei Ruo, "How are you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine, what happened to those ambush people?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It's all dead."

Talking, Xu Zhengyong handed Wei Ruo something.

"This is the weapon they just used."

Although the thing had been blown up to only half of it, Wei Ruo recognized at a glance that it was a slave designed by her.

"Is this thing equipped by people from other places besides the Anti-Japanese Army?" Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong.

Xu Zhengyong shook his head: "Only the anti-Japanese army in Taizhou is equipped."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed.

If this is the case, then the people who ambushed and attacked them were not...

Xiumei couldn't help asking questions: "This is food for the Anti-Japanese Army. Does anyone in the Anti-Japanese Army hope that the food will not be supplied?"

No one can answer her question for the time being.

Xu Zhengyong said: "It doesn't necessarily have to be done by people in the Anti-Japanese Army. Maybe someone stole our 驽, or stole the 驽's design."

Xu Zhengyong still hopes deep down that this matter has nothing to do with the Anti-Japanese Army.

He didn't want to believe that someone in the Anti-Japanese Army would choose to betray his comrades who fought **** battles with him, betray his country and the people they swore to protect.

After being silent for a while, Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong: "How many people in the barracks know about my delivery of food today?"
