Chapter 298 Arrangement]
Chen Fenghe first secretly told Chen Wu and Yuan Xun about this route, and asked them to take everyone to escape from here when it was absolutely necessary.
The reason why we didn't tell everyone in advance was because we were afraid that there would be chaos. If too many people knew the escape route, some people would flee in advance. If they were discovered by the Beirong soldiers or Qu Wenmin's people, the exile team would be attacked from all sides.
After hearing this, Chen Wu and Yuan Xun nodded to indicate that they understood.
Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo then asked Chen Wu to instruct everyone to dig some deep holes near the cave entrance, cover them with branches, and then cover them with a layer of soil to pretend that everything is normal.
Others found some hemp ropes and stones, and combined them with arrows to make a simple automatic archery device. Once someone accidentally touched the string, the mechanism would be triggered, causing the arrow to be automatically shot out.
After finishing all this, it was already dark.
Seeing that the cave was secluded, Chen Wu ordered a fire to be lit and roasted a wild roe deer. After a while, the roe deer meat began to sizzle. After everyone shared the food and replenished their strength, they put out the fire and hid behind the rocks in the cave, waiting nervously.
The sky darkened, the fire in the cave was extinguished, and it was pitch black. However, because my eyes had adapted to the light, I could still see things.
Suddenly, there was some movement at the entrance of the cave. First, there were light footsteps, and then suddenly there were a few screams and sounds of collapse. Then, the arrows set in the cave were triggered by the mechanism and shot out with a "whoosh", and the screams of people who were hit by arrows were heard.
Chen Wu felt excited and turned to look at Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo.
Judging from the noise, it was obvious that all the traps they set were used!
However, Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunshuo's expressions did not relax at all, but instead became more solemn.
Because although many of the attackers fell into the trap, it was obvious that there were so many people coming that the few traps they set up could not withstand them.
Chen Fenghe nodded slightly to Chen Wu.
Chen Wu's heart trembled and he turned to look at Yuan Xun.
Yuan Xun also nodded to him, then tiptoed into the cave and gestured to several officers, who silently directed the exiled prisoners to walk towards the escape cave they had explored before.
Xiao Yunshuo looked at Chen Fenghe and whispered, "Madam Shen, you should temporarily withdraw with them. Mr. Chen, I and the others will hold the line here."
Chen Fenghe shook her head and was about to refuse when Xiao Yunshuo took advantage of the fact that everyone else was nervously watching the cave entrance and came over to say in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Be obedient. Mother and the little ones also need to be taken care of..."
The breath of his voice brushed against her ears, making her feel a little itchy. Shen Fenghe couldn't help but feel moved, but she quickly took a deep breath and calmed down.
After thinking for a while, she finally nodded slightly. With Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu here, it should be enough to deal with the attackers.
Although they had explored the escape hole at the back before and the exit was very hidden, there was no guarantee that the other side had a large number of people. If they also discovered the place and ambushed it in advance, then only Yuan Xun and others would be left, and they would be in danger.
It would be safer if she went along.
Chen Fenghe fished out a porcelain bottle from the space and stuffed it into Xiao Yunshuo's hand, whispering, "This is a smokescreen that works instantly. If the enemy is too numerous, spread it out. It should buy you some time to retreat."
Xiao Yunshuo squeezed her hand tightly and whispered, "Okay."
Chen Fenghe did not delay any longer and turned around to reunite with Qin Mengyue and a few little guys, and followed Yuan Xun and others to retreat towards the cave entrance.
At the front entrance of the cave, many people had already rushed in, stepping on the corpses of their companions who had been trapped in the trap.
When Xiao Yunshuo saw how they were dressed, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The people who rushed in were all wearing the uniforms of the Beirong Army, just like the ones he had killed before. They were so arrogant as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were Beirong soldiers.
