Chapter 374 Life hangs on a thread

The two stayed on the hillside until almost evening before preparing to leave.

But before the two of them got up, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves not far away. Cao Ang immediately lay down and did not dare to move.

There were five people coming, none of whom Cao Ang recognized, so he thought they were accomplices of the previous assassins.

These people were about to leave when Cao Ang's horse suddenly neighed, alarming several people. The five people immediately dismounted and searched the hillside.

Cao Ang knew that the two of them might not be able to escape this wave of searches, so he left a crossbow machine and gave it to Yuan Ying, and whispered: "Wei Rui, lie down here and don't move. No matter what happens, don't make a sound."

Yuan Ying nodded, trying not to worry too much about Cao Ang.

Cao Ang held a crossbow in his hand, hung the other on his waist, and quietly approached the crowd. Seeing an opportunity, Cao Ang pointed the crossbow in his hand at the people in the distance. Hearing the sound of the crossbow, an arrow flew out, and he immediately shot

Kill someone.

Cao Ang's crossbow arrow flew out and immediately ran towards the grass in the distance without waiting to see if it hit.

A man on the other side fell to the ground and was immediately shocked. Seeing Cao Ang's figure passing by, he immediately chased after Cao Ang.

Cao Ang was loading the crossbow while running, which naturally limited his speed. The people behind him were chasing him closer and closer, and from time to time, arrows passed by Cao Ang's side.

Cao Ang did not dare to look back, he could only hear the sound of wind in his ears, and his heart was pounding.

Cao Ang ran behind a big rock in one breath, with the crossbow already loaded in his hand. He immediately turned over and lay on the rock, and shot at the person in front behind him.

The arrow hit his left chest, and the man fell dead immediately.

Fortunately, neither side was wearing armor, otherwise if the other party were all armored soldiers, Cao Ang would have had no choice but to flee for his life.

Seeing that another person had been lost, the other party was also shocked and did not dare to pursue too hastily.

Cao Ang changed places again and continued to use the terrain to deal with this group of people.

Of course, Cao Ang did not dare to waste too much time, lest the opponent's support would arrive.

Zhao Mang couldn't find him, so he must have discovered the inside story. What he had to do now was to buy as much time as possible and wait for everyone to come to his rescue.

Cao Ang escaped for a while and then found that the three opponents spread out and tried to outflank him from three directions.

Cao Ang was not afraid of the opponent's combined attack, which gave him the opportunity to disperse and attack.

Cao Ang was hiding behind a tree when he saw a person approaching. Cao Ang shot him with another arrow. However, Cao Ang was exposed again and the other two people also came forward.

Cao Ang's escape route has been blocked, and there is a slope of three or four feet behind him. If he turns over backwards, it will easily reveal a flaw.

We meet on a narrow road, and we have no choice but to fight hard.

Cao Ang immediately pulled out another crossbow and rushed in one direction. Before the other side, the arrow flew out and hit his throat, killing him.

However, although Cao Ang succeeded, he also exposed his backside.

When the remaining man saw this, he immediately shot an arrow and hit Cao Ang in the right chest from behind. Cao Ang was hit hard and fell to the ground immediately, making no sound anymore.

Seeing that he had succeeded, the last person carefully moved forward to search, but before he had taken two steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain and saw an arrow coming out of his chest.

The man turned around and saw a woman holding a crossbow, facing him.

The man wanted to raise his hand, but was unable to do so and collapsed.

The person who shot this man was none other than Yuan Ying.

Although Yuan Ying had been hiding where she was, she was still observing the situation. Seeing that Cao Ang was injured, she could no longer care about the fear in her heart and fired a fatal blow.

As a lady of the family, Yuan Ying has been a housekeeper since she was a child. She can also ride horses, shoot arrows, and even play with crossbows. If she had been a little girl, people like Cai Zhaoji might have fainted.

When Yuan Ying saw this man fall, she relaxed and almost fell down. But she couldn't care about anything else and rushed to Cao Ang's side, only to see that Cao Ang had slowly gotten up.

After Cao Ang was hit by an arrow, although he was hit hard, his vital parts were not injured. The reason why he fell was that he was preparing to repeat his old trick, taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to attack and kill the opponent. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ying was able to take care of the last person.

Yuan Ying stepped forward to support Cao Ang.

There were blood stains on the corner of Cao Ang's mouth, and he didn't know if he had injured his lungs. Cao Ang quickly licked it off with his tongue, and then said: "If there is no Wei Rui today, I will die here. My young master is capable of running a household, and his martial arts can kill thieves.

Heaven will not let you and I, husband and wife, die here."

"Stop talking!"

Seeing that Cao Ang was still in the mood to joke, Yuan Ying felt relieved and asked, "What do you do with the arrow in your back?"

Cao Ang took out a bottle of Han version of "Yunnan Baiyao" from his arms and handed it to Yuan Ying.

"First pull out the arrow, then sprinkle it with medicine, and finally bandage it."

After Cao Ang finished speaking, he asked again: "Is it possible?"

"Don't underestimate people."

Yuan Ying boldly took hold of the arrow handle, pulled out the arrow with both hands, and sprinkled powder on it. Cao Ang gritted his teeth in pain and his face was twisted together.

After a while, Cao Ang regained his breath and whispered: "This time I went to Xingyang. I heard that a thief can cut the skin, gouge the cheek bones, and take out the arrow clusters stuck in the bones.

Go. But this person is chatting and laughing, with a calm expression on his face. It seems that I am far worse than this person."

"You are a civil servant, so you are different from them."

"I'm a general!"

Cao Ang asked Yuan Ying to tie up his wounds, then he struggled to get up, picked up one person's saber, dealt with the wounds one by one, and packed up all the crossbows carried by the five people.

These days, loading crossbows takes too much time. Now that I have captured eight crossbows, I can handle a small squad of the opponent.

"Do you have all these things with you?"

Two people and one horse, if they carry so many things, it will be a bit in the way.

"A warrior can lose his life, but not his weapon."

As Cao Ang spoke, he took out a few cakes from one person and handed them to Yuan Ying.

"It seems that we have to spend the night in the mountains. I was originally worried about the food problem, but unexpectedly these people solved it for us. This is our ration for tonight."

At this point, Cao Ang even sang cheerfully: "There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy made them for us."

Yuan Ying felt a lot more relieved when she saw that Cao Ang was in a difficult situation without any signs of depression. Although Cao Ang always behaved like a rogue in front of him, today she felt safe.

After cleaning up the mess, Cao Ang went to get their horses back.

Cao Ang stroked the horse's forehead and couldn't help but complain: "Horse, horse, do you know that with your words today, I almost lost my master. I have to eat horse broth to calm my shock when I get back."

The horse didn't understand Cao Ang's words and neighed in a low voice. Cao Ang suspected that it was probably thirsty.

After going down the hillside, Cao Ang captured a few more horses. He put his things on one horse, and he and Yuan Ying each rode one, and the rest were used as spares.
