"oops!"
Li Mo gritted his teeth angrily. How long has it been since he was still caring about those tattered luggage?
Suddenly, he thought about it, it seems that these large and small baggage can be piled on the boat as a shield!
Thinking of this, Li Mo immediately called for help to unload all the luggage from the carriage.
It didn't matter if they moved it. They saw the holes pierced by the arrows and secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they had such a burden.
Otherwise, all three of the Ning family would be shot into a hornet's nest at this time.
After carrying the baggage to the boat, Li Mo asked everyone to get on the boat, then cut the ropes and everyone rowed together.
"Old man, you three get down quickly, hide behind these baggage, and be careful of the enemy's arrows!"
Li Mo pointed to the baggage at the stern of the boat and said.
"Okay, okay."
At this time, Ning's father didn't care about anything valuable anymore, so he hurriedly pulled his wife and hid behind the baggage, not forgetting to put a few baggage on him.
Ten people sat in two rows, shaking the oars as hard as they could, and the clipper rushed southward along the river like an arrow from the string.
Thanks to the prosperity of the county town, the nightlife here is very rich. There are an endless stream of boats and boats on the river, and the lights are brightly lit, illuminating the way forward for them.
"Hurry! Chase after us! The thieves are all on the boat!"
The patrol team on the shore chased after him, shouting loudly.
They shouted and chased, stopping to shoot arrows.
But how could their people with two legs run past the boats going down the river? Soon, they were left behind.
Seeing this scene, Li Mo grinned.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from the shore. A team of horses rushed to the shore with torches and came to the position in front of Li Mo and the others.
"No, it's the enemy's cavalry, pick up the plank quickly!"
Li Mo shouted loudly and directed the remaining people to pick up the door panels prepared in advance and hold them next to the boat to protect the Shadow Guard brothers rowing the boat.
"The thief is on the boat! Hurry! Shoot the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The cavalry immediately raised their bows and nocked arrows, and in an instant, dense arrows were shot towards them.
"Block! Don't let go!"
Li Mo shouted, asking his brothers to block the enemy's arrows. He and Qiu Ying picked up their repeating crossbows, aimed at the cavalry on the shore, calculated the speed of the boats, and fired arrows quickly.
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows from both sides came and went, and the fight was lively.
There are many people on the cavalry side, but there are few people who can shoot arrows. After all, some people still have to hold torches, and the shooting speed is also slow.
There are only two people shooting arrows on this side of the ship, but the repeating crossbows are fast. Li Mo and Qiu Ying are good at archery and are very familiar with the use of repeating crossbows. Both sides went back and forth. There were no casualties on their side, but there were no casualties on the cavalry side. Several horses were shot.
The boat was very fast and exceeded the attack range of the cavalry. When the men of the cavalry saw this, they put away their bows and arrows and continued the pursuit.
Those who can ride horses and shoot arrows at the same time are all elites, there are bound to be not many of them, and these people are indeed the personal guards of the Anton Palace.
This group of people was very fast and soon caught up with the boat again, chasing and firing arrows along the river bank.
"Brother, brother! How are we, are we out of the city?"
Father Ning quietly raised his head and called out to Li Mo in a low voice.
"Not yet, old man, hide it quickly."
"Okay, okay, what about that, little brother, don't let those people shoot me to death."
A good life is in front of you, and the old man doesn't want to die on the eve of dawn.
Li Mo almost laughed angrily and said,
"Don't worry, old man. Even if we risk our lives, we still have to protect you. If the enemy wants to kill you, just step over our bodies!"
After finishing speaking, Li Mo turned around, suddenly pulled Qiu Ying with his right hand, and blocked it forward with his left hand.
Whoosh!
An arrow hit Li Mo's arm, and blood flowed out.
"Li Mo! How are you?"
Qiu Ying anxiously dropped the repeating crossbow and grabbed Li Mo's arm to take a look.
"I'm fine. I just got hit by an arrow. I can't die."
"Everyone, hurry up and row your boat to a place with a lot of big ships. There are a lot of big ships there and they can block the arrows for us!"
"As you command!"
The people of the Shadow Guard nodded immediately and rowed the boat towards the middle of the river.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of arrows piercing the air kept coming to my ears. However, when the boat entered the middle of the river, the sound of arrows suddenly disappeared.
There were large ships on both sides, almost like walls, blocking the arrows for them.
On the contrary, frightened screams and calls for help could be heard from time to time on the boats.
Seeing this scene, Li Mo laughed a few times, and then said to Qiu Ying,
"Please help me break the arrow first. Keeping such a long arrow will affect your activities too much."
"Don't move now. I'll help you pick out the arrows when it's safe. If you move now, it will cause more damage!"
Qiuying frowned and said.
"It's okay, I can still fight!"
Li Mo's expression was as hard as iron.
Seeing him like this, Qiu Ying shed tears of distress, pressed her teeth, stretched out her hands, and folded hard, and the arrow was broken.
She couldn't cut with a knife, as it would only cause violent vibrations and gouge out a big hole in Li Mo's arm.
Li Mo was so painful that he was sweating all over his body, but he still suppressed his laughter and said,
"Look, is everything okay? Give me a bandage quickly to stop the bleeding."
"You know how to act blindly, so I need you to save me?"
Although he said this, Qiu Ying still took out a piece of cloth from his arms and briefly bandaged Li Mo's arm.
As a member of the Shadow Guard, it is a mandatory requirement to carry something healing with you.
The boat was very small and could only accommodate a dozen people. Compared with the big boat like a Big Mac, it was as if the moon was not yet full.
But being small has its advantages. The small boat moved among the big ships, as agile as a loach, and it was also extremely fast.
Soon, a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the south of the city. It was already relatively remote and there were very few flower boats on the river.
Moreover, the city wall in the distance can also be seen.
This river is called Wei River. It starts from Hulan County in the north, flows through Dongping County, goes all the way south, flows through Datong County, Yangjiu County and Nankou County, and finally enters the territory of Qi State.
This river also nourishes the surrounding land along the way.
It runs straight through Dongping County City. There are tall and wide water gates on the south and north walls.
Normally, the city gate would be closed at night, but the water gate would not be closed unless there was a war.
Because the iron gate on the water gate, which weighs several kilograms, is too heavy.
Whether it is rising or falling, it is extremely difficult.
They were getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer. Not only were there horse teams, but there were also several fast boats chasing them on the river behind them.
