Surviving In The Ancient Times With Limitless Supplies
Chapter 429: Night Ambush

Chapter 429: Night Ambush

After a while, Xu Xiang said, "A Lu Qian, can you monitor Yu Hao and let me know his every move?"

A Lu Qian nodded as an answer, then Xu Xiang looked at A Lu Zhi and said, "A Lu Zhi, we must destroy the space gate located in the Western Region before the Moon Pavilion finds Huan Yun. Do you think we can do it?"

A Lu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Although the probability is low, it is possible as long as the barbarians are defeated."

After he said that, A Lu Yu said, "Xu Xiang, I heard that you want to join the army to steal supplies from the barbarians."

Nodding at him, Xu Xiang said, "Yes."

A Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "Then I will go with you."

After hearing his words, the others just nodded in agreement. With A Lu Yu’s help, their success rate will be higher. They must prevent the barbarians from obtaining these supplies. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to win this war. The five of them chatted for a while, and then the three brothers went back to their tents.

When only Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng were left in the tent, Mu Yucheng asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Is your relationship with the Pavilion Master of the Moon Pavilion really close?"

Hearing his question, Xu Xiang looked at him and said, "I indeed had a very close relationship with him in my first life. He is like a real elder brother to me and we have lived together for more than thirty years. Unlike the first life, he really hated me and my elder brother in my second life. Although we have known each other for over four years, we haven’t even spoken more than three words with each other."

Listening to her answer, Mu Yucheng frowned slightly. He had already learned from Xu Xiang and Huan Yun that the core members of Moon Pavilion were also from another world. It’s just that he doesn’t know which Yu Hao is living in this world.

Since he didn’t know the answer, he held Xu Xiang’s hand and said seriously: "Xiang’er, I will protect you. Don’t be afraid."

Listening to his sudden promise, Xu Xiang chuckled. She leaned against him, put her hands around his waist, and said, "Mhm. As long as you are here, I am not afraid."

Five days later, Xiao Shao received the message about the supplies. He read the report for a while and then burned the paper. Then he looked at Fan Zhengying and said, "The supplies have arrived in the mountainous area. Be ready to leave in twenty minutes."

Fan Zhengying clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate accepted the order."

After Fan Zhengying left, Xiao Shao called a soldier and said, "Inform Miss Xu and General A Lu Yu to set off in twenty minutes."

"Yes, Supreme General." The soldiers accepted the order and rushed out to deliver it.

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Shao, Xiao Han, Xu Xiang, A Lu Yu, and Mu Yucheng left the military camp with one hundred hidden guards. Due to the need for stealth and quick action, Xu Xiang lent them each a pair of wind boots and night vision glasses.

When the Xiao brothers and the hidden guards saw the wind boots for the first time, they were so surprised that they couldn’t react. But after they learned how to use the wind boots, no one was willing to put them down. With how fast the wind boots could fly, they reached the mountainous area in just three hours.

When the moon was at its highest, they were already hiding on the cliff waiting for their target. After waiting for another hour, they finally saw a long line of transport carts slowly approaching. Due to the roughed mountain roads, it took the mercenaries twice as long to reach this area.

Xiao Shao looked at the people guarding the transport carts and found that in addition to mercenaries, there were also some martial arts experts from the Jiang Hu among them. Xiao Shao’s initial plan was to beat them up, steal the goods, and return to the military camps.

But after seeing the difference in numbers between them and the martial art experts from Jiang Hu, Xiao Shao canceled his plan. With the addition of those martial arts experts, there is no telling who will win in a fight between them.

After thinking about it again, he changed his plan to an ambush attack. He plans to take advantage of the darkness of the night to ambush first and reduce the number of the enemies, before they go down and attack the rest of the mercenaries.

Because the mercenaries had to transport supplies, weapons and war horses secretly, they didn’t even have a single torch light up right now. This darkness is the best setting for a night ambush. In addition, the mountain road is narrow and long. This makes it easy for them to break up the enemy’s formations and reduce the risk for his own people.

Seeing that the transport carts were approaching the cliff where they were hiding, Xiao Shao raised his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, the hidden guards drew the bow string and prepared to release the arrow. Just when the middle part of the convoy passed by them, Xiao Shao signaled the hidden guards to release the arrows. In an instant, countless arrows rained down on the mercenaries below.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Stab! Stab! Stab!

"Ah!"

At the moment when arrows rained down and caught the mercenaries off guard, the mercenary leader drew his sword and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! Protect the goods!"

Following their leader’s order, the mercenaries hurriedly drew their swords and parried the arrows around the transport carts, while the martial arts experts tried to block the arrows and protect the horses.

After the first round of the arrow attack, the mercenaries and martial arts experts were ready for a bloody battle.
