Chapter 176 The Pursuers Arrive

After running for about half a day, Wu Fan stopped the carriage and let the horse rest for a while. The horses they transport grain have average speed and average endurance, so the horse has already been a little overwhelmed.

"Everyone come down and rest for a while." Wu Fan said to everyone on the carriage: "Xiao Liu, you go to be on guard, Niu Er, go get some grass to feed the horses, Wang Bing, go take a look at the surrounding situation, see where we are now where."

Wu Fan immediately made arrangements for the members of the team. After running around, Wu Fan not only lost contact with the large team, but also lost his direction and did not know where he ran.

Wu Fan sat on the carriage, thinking about the impact of this incident on them.

Wu Fan was not very clear about the specific situation on the front line. Neither he nor Zhou Shan was qualified to know too much about it. However, it was certain that the imperial army suffered a disastrous defeat.

Wu Fan was wondering whether this disastrous defeat would have any impact on them.

Originally, Wu Fan's military service lasted for three months. During these three months, they needed to travel continuously to deliver food to the troops stationed in the wilderness plains to maintain their daily use.

However, now that this army has been defeated, and it was defeated miserably, and it evacuated directly from the wilderness plain, then Wu Fan and the others do not need to continue to transport food to the wilderness plain.

However, this situation is not certain. If the imperial court is unwilling to accept this failure and sends troops to the wilderness plains again to attack the people in the demon world, then Wu Fan and his team's mission of transporting food and grass will probably continue.

If the imperial court has no intention of continuing to send troops to the wilderness plains for the time being, then Wu Fan and the others' military service is likely to end early. Originally, the time for this military service was not fixed. It was originally scheduled to be three months. Time, this time will be extended or reduced according to the actual situation, so it is possible for Wu Fan and the others to end their military service.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan hopes that the imperial court will not rush to send troops to the wilderness plains. In that case, his military service may be temporarily ended, and he will have time to return to the Hermit Village to see the crops he planted.

However, Wu Fan feels that the possibility of this situation is relatively small.

This time the imperial army suffered a disastrous defeat. Both the emperor and General Li were probably feeling uncomfortable and unconvinced. They would definitely send troops to attack the people in the demon world for revenge. Therefore, the possibility of sending troops again was relatively high.

"Hey, I just hope that His Majesty the Emperor will not be so hasty to send troops." Wu Fan thought to himself.

At this time, Wang Bing, who was responsible for checking the surrounding situation, came back.

"Captain, this is not the way we came here before. This should be the southwest of the wilderness plain, and Qingyuan County is in the southeast of the wilderness plain." Wang Bing said.

Wang Bing is also a member of Wu Fan's team. He is about the same age as Niu Er. His family is very poor and he often needs to go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables. Therefore, he has a good sense of direction and can judge where they are based on the surrounding environment. Direction is a living compass.

"So, we are going the wrong way?" Wu Fan said.

In fact, when he looked at the surrounding environment, which was different from when he came before, he realized that they might have gone the wrong way. However, at that time, he only wanted to get rid of the enemies behind him. As for the specific direction of escape, No matter where it is, I can't control that much.

Wang Bing nodded.

Wu Fan said: "It's okay, let's just change the direction. Now that there are no pursuers behind us, we don't need to panic so much."

However, as soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, he saw Zheng Xiaoliu running back in a panic.

"Captain, what's wrong, there's a group of cavalry coming from behind!" Zheng Xiaoliu said in a panic.

"Cavalry? Have you seen the identity clearly? Are they from us or from the demon world?" Wu Fan asked quickly.

"I didn't see clearly, but the clothes they were wearing were not the clothes of our army. They should be people from the demon world." Zheng Xiaoliu said.

Everyone gasped after hearing this, their faces turned pale, and even Wu Fan frowned.

There is only one road here, with mountains on both sides of the road. If they continue to move forward, based on the speed of their horses, they are likely to be overtaken by the cavalry behind them. If they abandon the carriage and go up the mountain, let alone whether the enemy will They would chase them in. The mountain was inherently dangerous, and they didn't know where the mountain led to. It would be even more troublesome to return to the county town.

What's more, the enemy is likely to follow their tracks and catch up, and when the time comes, they will be even more dangerous.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan looked around, and then said, "Xiao Liu, Wang Bing, you two use the ropes tied with food to make snagging ropes and hide on both sides of the road. The others, grab their weapons and prepare to fight! Let's! We will meet these people in the demon world to see if they are three-headed and six-armed!"

"yes!"

Although everyone was nervous, they had no objection to Wu Fan's order and immediately prepared for battle. They all knew that it would be difficult for them to escape under the current situation. As long as they faced the enemy head-on and defeated them, they could There is hope of escape.

If time permits, Wu Fan would like to set up some traps here, just like he did when he killed the colorful tiger before. However, the enemy is already approaching and he doesn't have that much time.

Sure enough, not long after they were ready, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

The enemy is coming!

In Wu Fan's field of vision, there appeared more than a dozen mounts. These mounts were different. There were only two or three horses, and the others were of different shapes. Some looked like giant lizards, some looked like centipedes, and some looked like lions. The same thing was that they were all very large, and full of fierceness.

On the backs of these mounts sat people dressed in black. They were tall and strong. Even though they were still a little far away, Wu Fan could feel the murderous aura emanating from them.

Are these people from the demon world?

Although they were more burly than ordinary humans, they did not have three heads and six arms and looked like beasts as Niu Er had said before.

Those people from the demon world seemed to have discovered Wu Fan and others. They did not mean to stop at all. Instead, they sped up and wanted to rush Wu Fan and others in one fell swoop.

As for Wu Fan and others taking a defensive posture, they did not take it seriously. They were confident that a charge could scatter Wu Fan and others like ants!

"Swish!"

Having confirmed the other party's identity, Wu Fan was not polite and took the lead. The arrows flew towards the newcomers with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
