Chapter 005 is still alive

"Brother Du, the overall situation is of utmost importance; do not pursue a desperate enemy," Li Tinggui shouted from behind

What are the possible methods, as per the responsibilities

Li Tinggui and others are on high alert, preparing for another fierce battle

"Uncle Wang, are we going or not?" Meng Chang asked in a hushed voice

Not good! Someone!" Not long after, Meng Chang was startled awake by Du Yifeng's shout

The person scrutinized Wang Wenwu carefully, and their expression changed. "Impressive skills! Who exactly are you?"

"Were those cavalrymen all eliminated by you?" the man asked

If a real fight breaks out, those few are not afraid. But what will happen to the Li family, both the adults and the children

Two big men embraced each other and unexpectedly began to cry. These were not tears of pain; rather, they were tears that proved life still exists

Oh, oh. The minions cheered victoriously, clearing a path.

The crowd parted to make way for a tall and imposing figure, who had a sword at his waist and held a long spear in his hand. He shouted in a stern voice: "This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me..."

A carriage without a horse cannot move

Li tightly embraced Meng Chang and quietly asked, "Chang'er, how do you know it is Li Congyan's people? I see that the attire of these individuals does not resemble that of his soldiers"

Li Tinggui found the title "Team Leader Li" quite agreeable and immediately went ahead to scout the path

The three men were instantly shattered by the cavalry, filled with astonishment, and then saw another person charging over, hastily turning their horses around to flee.

That person did not believe, "Is it just you few?"

He glanced again at Du Yifeng and Wang Wenwu, who occupied another position, and their expressions also indicated agreement

It turns out to be an old acquaintance of Wang Laodi, indicating a considerable friendship. Li Tinggui then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "There are still three people who have not returned from the city after purchasing horses, so I kindly ask the chief to have someone wait here."

Du Yifeng finally stopped the pursuit with resentment

I am tired and need to rest for a while. After saying this, Meng Chang lay down on the ground and fell asleep

"Well, you, Fu Laosi, a descendant of a prestigious military family, have also taken up the profession of robbery and theft." Wang Wenwu chuckled as he playfully punched Fu Laosi.

Wang Wenwu looked at the bloody scene before him, seemingly recalling something, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes blazing with fury, and his heart racing

Du Yifeng pulled out several arrows from the nearby carriage and forcefully hurled them at the enemy's mounts, while he himself leaped over as well

The axe is used for chopping wood, while the fork is used for lifting rice and winnowing grain

Wang Wenwu had leaned close to Li Tinggui, looking at this person with great astonishment

The three of them each occupied a position, forming a triangle

This was the first time Meng Chang had seen so many dead bodies. Although the corpses were not in front of him, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn, and he vomited with a "wow".

It is evident. At first, he intended to detain us to coerce our father, but to no avail. Then he sought to put us to death, forcing our father to turn against the court. He could not act openly, as that would cause our father to resent him, so he planned for the soldiers to disguise themselves.

This person is also a generous individual, exclaiming loudly: "That is only natural; we seek only wealth. You youngsters, step aside and let them pass."

Those individuals were dressed in a variety of styles, some in military uniforms, others in civilian attire, and so forth. The weapons in their hands were equally diverse, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, and hooks, encompassing everything imaginable

Wu Zhang understood immediately and pushed the cart towards the enemy

"Withdraw." Li Tinggui waved his hand to call back the troops. Behind them lay the corpses of men and horses, the blood having stained this land red

While speaking, he also made a "click" gesture.

Old Master Fu readily agreed, "That is only natural"

Li Tinggui was still hesitating, and turned to Li with a questioning look in his eyes.

Two soldiers were killed, three were seriously injured, and only thirteen could continue fighting. Li Tinggui immediately redeployed: "Brother Wang, join the ranks and move to the left side. Increase the distance between us, and when I give the command, charge and strike at the horse's legs. Brothers Du and Wu, stay at the back, with the five injured holding knives to guard against surprise attacks."

Meng Chang had already gotten up, and upon seeing this scene, he sat back down with a thud, sighing, "The roof leaks just as the night rain falls; having just escaped the tiger's den, I have now entered the wolf's lair. Heaven, you are truly forsaking me!"

Li nodded in agreement. But how should she proceed? As a woman, she felt completely at a loss at this moment

This time the losses were greater, with four killed in action, three seriously injured, and nearly everyone sustaining minor injuries

Du Yifeng and others also fell into contemplation

After Tuan Tuan surrounded Meng Chang and the others, he stopped, brandishing his gun and knife in confrontation with Li Tinggui and the others, without advancing further

Du Yifeng's arrow struck down two horses, and his sword pierced another two.

Wang Wenwu responded from the left: "First the horse, then the person"

"Be cautious and discreet!" Li Tinggui shouted as he drew his knife

Madam, we must find a way to leave this place as soon as possible. If the enemy attacks again, the consequences would be unimaginable said Li Tinggui

Prepare!" Li Tinggui shouted loudly, "Maintain formation, charge!" This attack was farther than the last one, approximately 20 meters. The reason was simple: our numbers had decreased while the enemy's had increased, so he had to leave Du Yifeng and the others more buffer space.

Haha. Aren't we enough?" Wang Wenwu exclaimed with a hearty laugh.

Only then did I remember that there were many people around. Old Fourth Fu shouted, "Liu Yuzhou, bring more people to help carry the items. The others will follow me back to the stronghold. Brother Wang, gather your people at the stronghold for a meeting"

"Uncle Wu, take the two drivers and return to the city to hire six carriages. Go quickly and come back quickly. Mother, give Uncle Wu some extra money." As soon as Meng Chang arrived at the location, he instructed.

"Brother Du will lead them ahead, and I will stay back with Brother Wang," Li Tinggui said. Vigilance is essential, and Wang Wenwu immediately gripped his knife and stood beside him

After several rounds of slashing, only a few enemies remained. Du Yifeng brandished his sword and charged forward towards the three individuals in the distance

"Haha," elicited a burst of laughter

Other soldiers were also desperately striking at the hooves of the horses, some targeting two horses, while others focused on one, all striving to prevent the horses from advancing

It seemed as if heaven had heard Meng Chang's words, and with a resounding "rumble," a spring thunderclap suddenly erupted

Old Master Fu smiled sheepishly, "On that day, after I rushed out, I intended to seek refuge with a few of my brothers, but unexpectedly took the wrong direction and ended up here after a long journey. This brother brought people to rob me." As he spoke, he pointed to a person behind him, "They were no match for me, so they requested that I stay in the stronghold as the leader. I thought it wouldn't hurt to find temporary shelter, so I decided to stay."

The place fell silent, and everyone voluntarily made space for the two of them.

Li Tinggui said: "Precisely."

The second wave of enemies has arrived swiftly, this time numbering approximately thirty individuals, while three others remain in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to act

"Leave the things, let the people go," shouted the other lackeys

Li Tinggui shouted while charging: "First the horse, then the man"

Several cold crows flew towards those corpses, their "caw caw" calls uncertain whether they expressed sorrow or joy

It is truly wonderful to be alive

"Charge!" This group of people shouted again, gradually tightening the encirclement.

Mother Wu hurriedly took out the bedding and spread it out, while Wang Wenwu carried him onto the bedding, and Li helped to cover him properly

In this battle, everyone is utterly exhausted. Li Tinggui did not relax in the slightest and immediately arranged for vigilance

At that moment, a person suddenly ran from a distance, approached their leader, and whispered a few words. The leader, after hearing, exclaimed to Li Tinggui, "Wait!"

The battle has ended, everyone has put away their weapons and returned, supporting the injured.

Everyone worked together and concealed themselves in a small hollow at the foot of the mountain

This hero, as we pass through your esteemed territory, has not ascended the mountain to pay our respects, and for that, we apologize. Now that we have left our possessions behind, we hope the hero will show mercy and not harm the women and children. Under the eaves, one must bow their head. Li Tinggui endured the humiliation and spoke quietly.

Wu Zhang, with great strength, pushed the cart to the left and right, knocking over three horses, and then threw down the cart, drawing his sword to charge at the enemy

Li Tinggui walked over to him and said, "Brother Wang, thanks to you and Brother Du, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to cope. Thank you both"

"Push the cart!" Du Yifeng sensed something was amiss at a glance and immediately called out to Wu Zhang

Meng Chang's left and right arms are now completely injured and bandaged, which is quite comical. Although he had some reactions earlier due to the unfamiliarity of the situation, he has now returned to normal. His youthful voice came through: "Team Leader Li, you quickly go to the foot of the mountain to find a secluded spot. Uncle Wu, you and the others take those two carts loaded with supplies and follow. The rest of you assist the injured. Everyone, follow along, let's set off"

As Meng Chang was about to lean forward to take a look, Du Yifeng immediately admonished, "Be careful!"

The attackers suddenly halted their charge and looked up at the sky

At the moment of encountering the enemy, Li Tinggui lay on his side, striking down the horse on his right. He then swiftly swung his blade towards the hind legs of the horse on his left. Without waiting to kill the fallen enemy, he leaped up and struck the rear of the horse that had already charged past.

The enemies who were not on horseback were no match for the two of them, and soon all perished under their swords. The two did not rest, charging forward to assist Li Tinggui and the others

Are you going to change your mind? Li Tinggui tightened his grip on the steel knife

Li disregarded her status and stepped forward to assist Wu Ma in caring for the injured. Du Yi, despite his fatigue, took out a knife and medicinal herbs to treat their wounds. Even the three coachmen cast aside their fears and came forward to help.

Jingxi and the other three hurried over, some helping him pat his back, while others took towels to wipe him down

This time, there were quite a few who charged forward, with as many as seven enemies.

Why is it that they are about the same age as me, yet they show no reaction? By the way, they escaped from the palace, and the massacre that took place in the palace was probably even more brutal than this. With this thought in mind, Meng Chang couldn't help but look towards Wang Wenwu

The man looked closely at Wang Wenwu again, dropped the spear to the ground, took a large step forward, and pressed down on his shoulders, "Brother Wang, you are still alive!"

"Who do you say we are, Old Master Fu?" Wang Wenwu stepped forward to respond

We are still alive!

Li nodded slightly. Wealth is merely an external possession; one's life is truly one's own.

After a sound rang out, the heavens returned to tranquility

The number of casualties among the personnel is minimal, and only a few remain who can endure.

What else is hidden! Over one hundred people brandishing knives and guns, shouting "Kill," rushed at them from all directions, effectively surrounding them.

Li Tinggui, Wang Wenwu, and Wu Zhang also have minor injuries to varying degrees, but fortunately, they are not serious

He knew that the short-statured person in the middle was very likely Li Congyan

Upon seeing that the person was a child, he also smiled and said: "Little friend, stand aside; knives and guns do not have eyes."

This phrase is familiar to Meng Chang, as it appears frequently in storytelling. He casually continued: "If you pass this way, leave behind a toll for the road. Dare to say a single 'no', heh heh, and the big knife will come down on your head, just kill without concern for burial."

Wu Zhang immediately turned back with two drivers to hire a carriage back to the city

Wang Wenwu finally returned from his memories and let out a deep sigh, saying, "Brother Li, you are too polite"

On the left side, Wang Wenwu also showed no weakness, consecutively bringing down three horses.

The current situation is very dire
