"Shield bearer, hurry up and stand in front to protect the lady!"
Zheng Fang shouted loudly: "First Company, go quickly and kill their catapults for me!"
"yes!"
A group of shield bearers immediately rushed out of the team, carrying heavy shields and running towards the carriage.
There was also a group of escorts holding weapons and running towards the location where the catapult appeared.
But before the shield bearer could rush to the front of the carriage, another whistling sound was heard in the distance.
Everyone turned to look and saw another piece of stone flying out of the ravine.
What made Zheng Fang and Zhao Yue even more anxious was that there were several fire balls among the flying rocks, which were obviously kerosene jars that had been ignited.
"It's over!"
Zheng Fang looked up at the sky, his heart filled with despair.
He was one of the first batch of veteran escorts to follow Jin Feng, and he was very familiar with catapults and kerosene altars.
This is also a classic combination, more terrifying than throwing stones!
Once the kerosene jar hits, the area around the carriage will be engulfed in flames.
Guan Xiaorou hasn't gotten out of the carriage yet, and it will be difficult for her to get out by then!
"Why did I agree to let Madam get into the carriage?"
Zhao Yue's heart was also filled with regret.
Just now when Zheng Fang persuaded Guan Xiaorou to get into the carriage, Zhao Yue had hesitated in his heart. He only started to persuade him for the sake of Guan Xiaorou's safety.
Due to the continuous improvements made by Jin Feng, Wan Heming and others, the size of portable heavy crossbows has become very small. The special terrain of Jiulian Valley means that there are too many places where heavy crossbows can be deployed.
Moreover, the range of the heavy crossbow is relatively long, so when the scouts explore the path ahead, they cannot guarantee that nothing is missed.
The catapult is much larger than the heavy crossbow, and even if it is portable, it is difficult to hide.
The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau also has some mini catapults. For example, when the scouts ambush the Heiyun tribe in Luolinggou, they used mini catapults.
However, the attack range of the mini catapult is very small, and the ammunition that can be thrown is also small.
At first, the targets of the scouts were only the falcons and leaders of the Black Cloud tribe. In the end, it was the combination of hot air balloons and grenades that killed the enemies on a large scale.
When the reinforcements were advancing, the woods and mountain peaks on both sides of the mountain road were the key investigation areas. Therefore, in Zhao Yue's opinion, if the enemy wanted to ambush and attack the leader of the reinforcements, the probability of using a heavy crossbow was greater.
It turned out that he guessed wrong.
At this time, Zhao Yue wished he could slap himself a few times.
But it's too late to regret it now.
In a few seconds at most, the jar of kerosene will hit the carriage. Even if Guan Xiaorou escapes from the carriage now, it will be too late!
Just when Zheng Fang and Zhao Yue were heartbroken, they suddenly saw a figure rushing out of the grass not far away, carrying a shield and flying towards the carriage.
The opponent's legs and feet seemed a little awkward, and he was limping a bit when he ran, but his speed was very fast, and he was on top of the carriage in the blink of an eye.
Guan Xiaorou's personal guard captain Alian was not injured just now and was pulling on the carriage door.
But the carriage door was slightly deformed by the rocks just now, and she couldn't open it at all.
When Zhao Yue saw this, he reminded Guan Xiaorou to get out of the emergency escape hatch under the car seat.
Seeing someone flying over, Alian was so shocked that the hairs on her back stood up, and she pulled out the black knife from her waist.
But at this moment, a cold shout came from above: "It's me!"
Alian took a closer look and saw that the person standing on the top of the carriage turned out to be Qin'er!
Qin'er was originally the personal maid of the Ninth Princess. Later, she was injured while protecting the Ninth Princess, so she secretly left Xihewan and disappeared.
Alian didn't expect to see her here.
She wanted to ask Qin'er why she was here, but she had no time.
Flying stones and jars of kerosene have roared over!
I saw Qin'er ducking sideways to avoid the flying rocks, then raised her shield and slapped it hard on the jar of kerosene!
Bang!
The jar of kerosene was smashed to pieces, and the kerosene flew everywhere. The shield had the most kerosene, and it caught fire at that time.
Qin'er threw away the shield and then picked up a wooden board that was broken by stones from the roof of the car.
Fortunately, the kerosene jars thrown by the catapult flew several hundred meters away and were very scattered. Only one kerosene jar landed on the top of the carriage, and the others fell to other places.
The kerosene jar had been smashed to pieces by Qin'er, and the carriage was lucky enough to escape.
Zheng Fang and Zhao Yue, who were already desperate, were so surprised that they almost jumped up.
If possible, they would love to hold Qin'er and kiss her twice.
But they didn't bother to say hello to Qin'er, but quickly shouted: "Madam, come out of the emergency exit!"
The enemy's two attacks were at the same location, indicating that they had already experimented with this place and adjusted the angle of the catapult.
The catapult is in a ravine a few hundred meters away. The enemy can attack at least several times before rushing over. They must get Guan Xiaorou out before the next attack.
Qin'er obviously understood this. After confirming that the attack had passed, she immediately jumped down from the top of the carriage and grabbed the carriage door.
Lian'er pulled the car door that had not been opened for a long time, but Qin'er pulled it open.⑧①ZW.????m
In the carriage, Guan Xiaorou was still looking for the seat switch because she had never used the emergency escape hatch and did not expect to use it one day.
Hearing someone opening the car door, Guan Xiaorou looked up and saw Qin'er, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Qin'er, why are you here?"
"We'll talk about this later, now come with me!"
Qin'er pulled Guan Xiaorou out and carried her away.
After confirming that Guan Xiaorou was fine, Zheng Fang's heart finally fell to the ground, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to move the wounded who had just been hit by stones as quickly as possible.
Zhao Yue quickly greeted Qin'er and Guan Xiaorou: "Madam, it's great that you are okay! Miss Qin'er, I really want to thank you this time. If it hadn't been for you..."
Before she finished speaking, Qin'er suddenly flew up and kicked Zhao Yue in the chest.
Zhao Yue was kicked and sent flying backwards!
Qin'er also carried Guan Xiaorou and rushed to the side!
The next second, a heavy crossbow arrow whizzed past Qin'er, nailed heavily on the stone on the roadside, and then rebounded and knocked away an escort before stopping.
Qin'er's kick to Zhao Yue just now was a clever one. It seemed that Zhao Yue was kicked backwards for several meters, but he was not seriously injured. After landing, he didn't have time to get up, so he shouted to Qin'er: "Qin'er, hurry up.
Madam hide!"
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Qin'er had received professional security training. After dodging heavy crossbow arrows, she rushed into the nearby woods with Guan Xiaorou on her shoulders and hid behind a big tree.
Zheng Fang also came to his senses at this time and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Second Company, go kill the heavy crossbow!"
"yes!"
The second company commander agreed and led a group of bodyguards towards the bushes where the heavy crossbows flew out.
But after only running a few dozen meters, another arrow roared out of the bushes and headed straight for the Second Company!
