Yun Yiyi watched the battlefield ahead closely while racking her brains to think of a solution.
However, if it is delayed any further, it will be disadvantageous for Uncle Li and the others.
In particular, there were many enemy soldiers watching the battle around.
She glanced at the large group of refugees behind her and figured they could no longer be relied upon.
However, if I rush forward myself, it probably won't be of much use.
So, we have to find help.
Thinking of this, Yun Yiyi quietly retreated into the woods.
Then she went to the ferry in the dark.
Yun Yiyi didn't dare to walk on the main road and could only walk through the woods.
She walked so fast that she felt a burning pain in her throat.
She covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to make a sound. For a moment, the pounding of her heartbeat seemed to be knocking in her ears.
It took her more than half an hour to reach the ferry.
She crouched down and quietly came to the place where the officers and soldiers were stationed.
It was so quiet, with only the sound of burning wood.
Yun Yiyi looked around, then she leaned over to look into the yard. There were two bonfires lit in the yard, and more than a dozen soldiers were lying on the open space around them.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Yun Yiyi guessed that these people should all be dead.
She looked through the open doorway and saw that there were also dead bodies lying on the floor of the house.
Yun Yiyi looked at three courtyards in a row and saw the same situation in all of them.
It seems that we can no longer rely on the officers and soldiers.
Suddenly, there was a sound of talking next to the ferry.
Yun Yiyi hurriedly found a place to hide, and then she secretly looked towards the ferry.
A large ship arrived at the ferry, its lights ablaze. Through the light, one could see a number of people moving about on board.
The key point is that we don’t know whether the people on the ship are enemy soldiers or others.
Fortunately, after a while, a group of people came down from the boat and headed straight for the yard where the officers and soldiers were stationed.
Yun Yiyi hid here and there in a hurry and came out of the yard.
"Everyone in the three courtyards was dead. Not a single person was left alive. And I found their wounds, which were probably knife wounds."
"Not only that, the people who killed them must have been ruthless. Basically, every blow was fatal."
"I don't know who led the people to kill these officers and soldiers."
"By the way, is the person who is supposed to pick us up still here?"
"No, I just walked around here, and there's no one around. It seems like they all ran away at once."
"The bodies of refugees were found on the road. I suspect the people who killed the officers and soldiers are now chasing the refugees."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go after them."
Yun Yiyi pricked up her ears and listened to the discussions in the yard. The more she listened, the happier she became.
She quietly moved to the side of the gate and looked at the dozen or so people standing in the yard. After one look, she knew what was going on.
She rushed into the yard, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Meng, Uncle Zhang, I finally found you."
The people in the yard were also startled by the person who suddenly ran out.
They all drew their knives and pointed them at the people rushing in.
Yun Yiyi ran to a position two steps away from them and stopped.
"It's me, Yiyi."
The people in the yard looked carefully in the direction of the voice and found that it was an acquaintance.
They put away their knives and surrounded Yun Yiyi.
"Yiyi, where did everyone go? Did you see Uncle Li and the others?"
"Yiyi, do you know who killed these soldiers?"
"Yiyi, where are your fellow villagers?"
Yun Yiyi waved her little arms and said, "Uncle Wang, please stop talking and listen to me first."
Everyone suddenly became quiet and stopped talking.
"Uncle Wang, we were attacked at night. The attackers were enemy soldiers. So we fled with the others along the same way we came."
"Later, we got separated. I came back to find the villagers and Uncle Li and the others."
"However, their current situation is not good. There are about sixty enemy soldiers. They have intercepted all the refugees and Uncle Li and his men right in front."
"I came here looking for help. When I arrived, I found that all the soldiers stationed here were dead. Then, I heard you talking."
"Well done, Yiyi. How are your Uncle Li and the others doing now?"
"Not so good, Uncle Wang. We have to hurry and rescue Uncle Li and the others. If we delay any longer, the situation will be disadvantageous to us."
"How come the enemy soldiers suddenly came to the ferry? This is too sudden."
"And there aren't many of them. It feels like they were sent out to gather information."
"Okay, enough talking. Go get two guys on the boat, and get some more guys to follow us."
"Yiyi, let's go first. You lead the way and we can talk as we walk."
"Okay, Uncle Wang."
The group walked onto the main road. "Uncle Wang, when I came here just now, there was a group of people fighting with Uncle Li and his men."
"There were also more than a dozen enemy soldiers surrounding the refugees."
"The worst thing is that there is a group of enemy soldiers on horseback at the end of the team."
"That's a difficult situation. We don't have any war horses here. If they run away on horseback, we can't outrun them."
"Uncle Wang, if they were to escape on horseback, they would have to take this same route. So I have a bold idea."
"What's your idea, Yiyi? Tell us so we can take it into consideration."
Uncle Wang and his companions had been traveling with Yun Yiyi for a while, and they knew how intelligent Yun Yiyi was.
"Uncle Wang, we can tie a trip rope not far from them. It's dark, and they can't see the road clearly, so they'll definitely trip over it."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, Uncle Wang paused awkwardly and said, "Yiyi, no one here brought a rope."
Yun Yiyi was also stunned for a moment. It was over. She didn’t bring the rope.
“It’s okay, Uncle Wang, there are plenty of trees and big rocks beside the road. We’ll move some big rocks and firewood to block the road later.
Also, arrange a few more people to lie in ambush nearby. As soon as they see the horse fall, they can chop down the enemy soldiers and that's it."
"Yes, that's a good idea."
Yun Yiyi pointed ahead and said, "Uncle Wang, do you see that? Uncle Li and the others are right there."
Everyone looked in the direction Yun Yiyi pointed. Not far ahead, there were many lit torches and the sounds of fighting could be heard.
"Uncle Wang, let's stop here and set a trap. If we get any closer, we'll easily alert the enemy."
"Okay, let's choose this place."
After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he took everyone to the nearby woods to find branches and large rocks.
Yun Yiyi was moving big stones back and forth.
Soon, everyone made a roadblock on the road with stones and branches.
If you walk normally, you will definitely be able to find roadblocks blocking the way.
However, if it were enemy soldiers fleeing on horseback, they would probably have only one outcome.
