Chapter 284 (Two Hundred and Eighty-Four) Division of Labor
Twice, already twice! Zhang Ji almost exposed his target twice. As a trained master, could he be so careless? At this time, some of Tie Jinjue's men already suspected him, but Zhang Ji usually seemed to have nothing wrong with him. He had always worked for Tie Jinjue wholeheartedly before, and he did not look like someone with ulterior motives at all. This made people suspicious. His people were puzzled.
At this time, some of Tie Wandao's men thought that since the ambush had appeared, it was better to divide the work and cooperate. Some people went to look for the ambush person who was throwing stones, and the other people walked from the high ground on both sides, waiting for opportunities to attack Fei Caohe. Fang Piaolan and the others followed Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan on horseback to keep an eye on them, but they had to keep a far enough distance from them to ensure that they would not be hurt by Fei Cunyi's arrows.
Tie Wandao's other subordinates also felt that this method was advisable and immediately acted on it.
The reason why those people dared to look for the ambush was because they discovered that the ambush seemed to be afraid of exposing themselves. It would be easier to get rid of the ambush first and then capture Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan. Although they knew that the other party was in the dark and they were in danger in the open, they felt that they had bows and arrows in their hands. As long as they were careful, they should be able to deal with those ambushers who were afraid of showing up.
Xu Zilei and others rode up to the highlands on both sides. As they moved forward, they looked down at the path Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan were taking, and soon saw their figures.
At the same time, Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan were followed by Tie Wandao's men on horseback from a distance. In order to prevent being shot by Fei Cunyi's arrows, those people never got closer to them, and it was useless for them. Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan shot arrows because Fei Cunyi could shoot arrows much further than Tie Wandao's men. As long as Tie Wandao's men kept a sufficient distance from the two of them, Fei Cunyi would not be hit by Fei Cunyi's arrows. Then even if they shoot arrows, they will definitely not be able to hit Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan.
Fei Cunyi looked toward the high ground on both sides of the rear and saw that the most dangerous person at present was not the people directly behind them, but the people on both sides of the high ground who were getting closer and closer to them.
Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan walked this road from east to west. Tie Wandao's men walked on the high ground on both sides, getting closer and closer to the two people they wanted to arrest. In order to avoid being in a low place for the time being, When Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan saw Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan, they moved to the north and south. When they planned to reach a place where they could shoot Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan with arrows, they fired arrows at the edge of the highland to attack them. People were caught off guard, but some of them would approach the edge of the highland from time to time to see where Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan had gone.
Fei Cunyi was at a low place and could not always see the people on the highlands on both sides. But every time he saw a flash of a figure on the edge of the highland, he drew his bow and shot an arrow diagonally upwards and behind him, but because he was standing beside him Being in a low place, blocked by the edge of the high ground, the range that the arrow can reach is extremely limited, so it is difficult for him to hit the occasional person on the high ground.
Although no one on the high ground was hit by Fei Cunyi's arrow, one person was hit by a stone again at this time. This time, the group of Tie Wandao's men who were specifically looking for the ambusher had seen clearly where the stone came from, and chased it in the direction from which it came.
This pebble was sent by Zhang Ji. (End of chapter)
