Chapter 343 Encountering 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 at the rear of the battlefield.
Even if there are thieves, they are only local bandits or robbers or forced refugees.
But these people would never dare to touch the army's things.
The people led by Xu Zhengyong were dressed in military uniforms and had the military flag raised high. How could they ambush them?
Just when Xu Zhengyong was suspicious, several arrows were shot from the mountains on both sides in front, heading towards their team transporting food and grass.
Xu Zhengyong subconsciously turned around to protect Wei Ruo, but there was a figure who moved faster than him.
Wei Ruo didn't even realize what happened, and his body fell into a strong embrace.
Wei Ruo raised his head and saw Wei Jinyi's side face.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the knife he had drawn out from nowhere, blocking the incoming arrow. The harsh sound of the metal arrow and the knife colliding sounded 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 any worries.
Xu Zhengyong drew his saber and ordered to the soldiers he brought: "Follow me to break out!"
After saying this, Xu Zhengyong took the lead and rushed towards the hillsides on both sides of the road.
The soldiers followed closely and drew their swords to fight.
Wei Ruo, who was protected by Wei Jinyi, hugged Wei Jinyi's waist tightly with both hands and pressed her body against Wei Jinyi's chest.
She knew that what she had to do now was to be obedient and not cause any trouble.
Although he could not do anything physically, Wei Ruo's eyes were observing the hillsides on both sides to determine the location and approximate number of the ambushers.
There were about twenty people on each side. They were condescending and occupied a favorable terrain.
If you forcefully break through the encirclement with your physical body, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
After understanding the general situation, Wei Ruo had a plan 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 onto the mountains on both sides." Wei Ruo also said to Wei Jin.
After listening to Wei Ruo's words, Wei Jinyi glanced at the first carriage behind him.
Then he jumped up a few times with Wei Ruo in his arms, came to the carriage, raised his knife and split the ropes and linen wrapped on the carriage.
In addition to the food, there is also a red wooden box inside.
After opening the box, what was inside was the spherical object Wei Ruo mentioned. It was dark and had a line on each one.
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 dumpling from his arms and handed it to Wei Jinyi.
"Huozhezi, light the fuse."
Without hesitation or questioning, Wei Jin quickly took the huozhezi handed over by Wei Ruo, lit the fuse, then threw it up and kicked it towards the ambush position on the mountain. .
Then there was a loud "bang" sound, which shook the entire intestinal tract.
Xu Zhengyong, who was charging, and the soldiers in his team were all blinded.
When everyone was shocked, Wei Jinyi kicked out the second, third...
and explosions sounded one after another.
The sound was as loud as a mountain falling apart.
This place is located between two mountains. The two mountains amplify the sound, making the explosion sound particularly 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 stuck her head out from under the car. Wei Jin also signaled her to wait, but Wei Ruo hid her head back again.
Xu Zhengyong then 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 looked at Wei Ruo's body carefully to make sure that she was only stained with some mud and was not injured.
"Second brother, aren't your feet swollen?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.
"No."
"This bomb is quite heavy. If you kick it with your feet, I feel like a normal person could break his own bone." Wei Ruo said, looking at Wei Jinyi's feet.
At that time, Wei Ruo thought that Wei Jin would also throw it with his hands, but he did not expect that he would choose to kick it with his feet.
If everyone had the skills of the second brother, there would be no need to make a special projector.
"It's okay." Wei Jin also replied.
"Don't lie to me. Take off your shoes and show me for a while. If you are injured or broken, I will give you some medicine." "It's
really okay." 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 how we set off firecrackers and fireworks during festivals, but this one is much more powerful." If explained.
As he said that, Wei Ruo picked up one and weighed it in his hand and said, "I put it on the grain truck specially. I originally thought it would be just in case, but I didn't expect it to be used." He ran with Xiumei
. Xiao Bei, who came back, happened to hear Wei Ruo say this and asked quickly: "Miss, where did you get such a powerful thing?" "
Borrowed it from the gods." Wei Ruo replied.
"Ah?" Xiaobei's eyes widened in confusion.
Then he stupidly looked back at his young master.
Wei Jin didn't say anything, but he already knew it in his heart.
While Wei Ruo and the others were talking, Xu Zhengyong came down from the hillside.
"Ruo..." Xu Zhengyong almost let it slip. After a pause, he changed his question and asked Wei Ruo, "How are you? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine. How are the people who ambush?" Wei Ruo asked.
"They're all dead."
Xu Zhengyong said and handed something to Wei Ruo.
"This is the weapon they just used."
Although the thing had been blown up to only half of it, Wei Ruo still recognized it at a glance as the weapon she designed.
"Is this thing equipped by people other than the Japanese army now?" Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong.
Xu Zhengyong shook his head: "Only the anti-Japanese army equipment from Taizhou Prefecture is available."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
If so, wouldn't it be that those who ambush and attack them...
Xiumei couldn't help but ask: "This is food and grass for the anti-Japanese army. Is there anyone in the anti-Japanese army who hopes that the food and grass will not be supplied?"
No one can answer her question yet.
Xu Zhengyong said: "It may not be someone from the Anti-Japanese Army who did it. Maybe someone stole our slaves, or stole the designs of the slaves." Deep in his heart, Xu Zhengyong still hopes that this matter will be related to the Anti-Japanese Army
. Internally it doesn't matter.
He didn't want to believe that there were people in the anti-Japanese army who would choose to betray their comrades who fought bloody battles with him, their country and the people they were sworn to protect.
After a moment of silence, Wei Ruo asked Xu Zhengyong: "How many people in the military camp know that I came to deliver food today?"
