C2455 Cover the Rear

"It seems like the people stationed here are not our people" Wait. When Lu Yizha and the others approached, they secretly observed the sentries and discovered that these people didn't seem to be the people of their Fengjue Country.

The people from the Fengjue Country and the people from the Great Lu Dynasty had obvious differences in appearance. When Lu Yizha and the others were in the Great Lu Dynasty, others could tell with a single glance that they weren't from the Great Lu Dynasty.

The people from the Fengjue Country and those from the surrounding countries also had different appearances. Although they were not as obvious as the people of the Great Lu Dynasty, to those who were familiar with them... There were still some differences. Therefore, after Lu Yizha and the others took a closer look, they also decided that these few sentries were not from their Fengjue Country. Then, the people in this camp were definitely not their people.

Because Lu Yizha and the others had already lost contact with the people outside the pass. So... At this moment, they didn't know that outside the pass... There were also many people from other countries who disguised themselves as horse bandits. They were preparing to stop them here, so when Lu Yizha and the others saw that these people weren't from their Fengjue Country... They didn't immediately think of their other identities.

"From the looks of it, these people look like bandits." Lu Yizha said to himself.

Indeed, the clothes worn by these sentries were similar to the bandits Lu Yizha had seen before. However, Lu Yizha could sense a formidable aura from their bodies. Moreover, these people had evidence that they were walking while standing guard. It seemed to be very orderly, but it was different from horse bandits. Although the horse bandits were similarly valiant, they were free and undisciplined. There was no such rule.

"Who are they? Why haven't I seen them before?" Lu Yizha asked curiously.

As a person who lived in the military camp all year round, when it came to mounted bandits... In fact, Lu Yizha was no stranger to them. He had even dealt with horse bandits before. Outside this pass, there were some powerful and famous horse bandits. He could even call out their names and had interacted with them before.

However, Lu Yizha had no impression of the people in this camp. Judging from the size of the enemy, they were obviously not small. This meant that they were not ordinary horse bandits. He shouldn't have never heard of horse bandits of this scale before.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince, what should we do now? Should we go and take a look?" A follower asked.

In the eyes of the crowd, it was naturally best that these people were from the Fengjue Country. If they were horse bandits instead, it wouldn't be a big deal. It wasn't that they hadn't dealt with mounted bandits before. They believed that... As long as those horse bandits weren't fools, they wouldn't harm the Fengjue Country First Prince. As long as they revealed their identities, they wouldn't harm them. After all, the horse bandits were here for money. If they offended the strongest country outside of this pass... It would definitely not benefit them in the slightest.

Thus, when these subordinates determined that these people were horse bandits, they did not have much of a worry in their hearts.

However, Lu Yizha, who had been in the military camp for many years, was still vigilant enough. He wasn't certain about the situation in front of him, but he felt that something wasn't right. Therefore, he was not willing to take the risk. Furthermore, on these sentries... He could sense a dangerous aura.

"Don't go there yet. Let's retreat first and continue our journey. Don't complicate things" Lu Yizha said.

He couldn't determine the specific identities of these people. It was better for him to not interact with the local areas first. If he had tens of thousands of soldiers by his side, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about anything. Even if these people were from the Great Lu Dynasty army, he would still dare to go over and greet them.

However, he didn't have that many soldiers by his side that were good at fighting. There were only around twenty or so subordinates. Moreover, there were also people who were injured. Under such circumstances, he naturally didn't want to cause trouble. It was best to be careful.

"Yes." Although everyone felt that Lu Yizha's decision was a little strange, they did not refute it. They were only servants. The only thing they needed to do was to unconditionally listen to Lu Yizha's orders.

However, just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, an accident happened. Some of them guessed the dried branches from under their feet. There was a clear cracking sound, and the surroundings were very quiet. Such a clear sound could be heard from a very far distance in this quiet environment. It was enough for the sentries who were not too far away from them to hear.

"Who is it?!" Those sentries had always been on high alert, so they immediately heard that voice and immediately reacted.

Damn it!

When he heard the sound, Lu Yizha had already realized that the situation was not good. Because, when he had just observed, he had already noticed. Even though it was late at night, those sentries did not have the slightest intention of slacking off. They were much more vigilant than the soldiers of the Great Lu Dynasty that he had seen in the pass. This was also one of the reasons why Lu Yizha felt that they were not bandits. Although the bandits were equally fierce, however, under such circumstances, there weren't many who could still stand guard so seriously.

When Lu Yizha saw how serious the other party was, he could only say... Even the slightest sound would be discovered by the other party. And now, the situation proved that his previous guess wasn't wrong. As expected, the other party had noticed the strange sound at the first possible moment.

"Let's go!" Lu Yizha let out a low roar and immediately fled into the distance. His subordinates also followed him at the first possible moment.

However, the sentries in the camp reacted quickly. They had caught up at the first moment. More importantly, they all had horses!

Therefore, the distance between Lu Yizha and the others and the people behind them was quickly shortened.

"The people in front, stop!" The few sentries shouted, "Otherwise, we won't be polite!"

Lu Yizha sensed danger. He did not stop, nor did he dare to stop. Instead, he ran forward even faster.

"Shoot!" The few sentries chasing behind did not hesitate at all. Seeing that Lu Yizha and the others did not want to stop, they immediately ordered the arrows to be shot.

There were five or six people chasing after them. Five or six arrows flew over at the same time. Although it was late at night, their vision was affected. However... The people who were chasing after them were able to determine their position based on the sound of Lu Yizha and the others running. In addition to their superb archery skills, among these six arrows... Two hit the target.

Two of Lu Yizha's followers immediately cried out in pain. One of them was unlucky enough to have his heart pierced by the arrow. After screaming in pain, he fell to the ground and died. The other one was slightly luckier. The arrow hit his thigh. The huge pain made him scream in pain. He fell to the ground.

The follower knew that in this situation, he wanted to run away from the horses. It was almost impossible, so he gave up on escaping. He turned around and shouted to the pursuers behind him, "Which group of horse bandits are you? Do you know who we are? Our Fengjue Country, First Prince's men are here as well. If you hurt His Royal Highness the First Prince, all of you will be buried with him!"1

Obviously, this follower was also worried about Lu Yizha. He was afraid that Lu Yizha would also be shot by an arrow. Therefore, he quickly reported Lu Yizha's body so that these bandits would not dare to continue shooting. After all, horse bandits were horse bandits. No matter how strong they were, they wouldn't dare to go against a country. Furthermore, this country was the most powerful country in the surrounding area.

Therefore, in the eyes of this follower, if these people knew that Lu Yizha was here, they wouldn't dare to continue hunting him down. He, Lu Yizha, and the others wouldn't be in danger.

However, what he didn't expect was that the people behind him became even more anxious after hearing his words.

"Quickly, go back and tell the general that Lu Yizha has appeared. He is right here. Ask the general to bring some men to surround and kill him." Among the pursuers, someone said loudly, and his tone was somewhat excited.

"General?" The follower who had just spoken realized that something was wrong when he heard the other party's name. There would not be any generals among the horse bandits. Only the troops would have such an identity.

"Could it be that they are not mounted bandits? Which country's army is pretending to be them?" The subordinate thought after a moment.

However, just as he thought of this, his body was shot again. This time, he was shot by two arrows in an instant, and one went straight into his abdomen. One shot hit his forehead, and instantly, his countless consciousness quickly dissipated. He also fell backwards.

"Lu Yizha, surrender now. You won't be able to escape." The pursuers kept chasing after Lu Yizha and the others. At the same time, they kept shooting arrows from their hands.

Lu Yizha naturally wouldn't foolishly stop and wait for his death. He was completely sure. These people weren't horse bandits, even though he didn't know their exact identities. However, they definitely didn't have any good intentions towards him. From their words and the arrows that kept shooting out... Lu Yizha understood this point.

A person with only two legs would definitely not be able to outrun four legs. In addition, the surroundings were very spacious and there were very few obstacles. Their speed was even slower than a horse's. If it wasn't for the dark sky... It severely affected the sight of the cavalrymen behind them. I'm afraid... Lu Yizha and the others had been caught up to a long time ago.

However, if they continued to chase after them, it was only a matter of time before Lu Yizha and the others caught up to them. Therefore, he had to think of a way to stall those few people and buy himself some time to escape.

"You guys stay behind." After he understood, Lu Yizha pointed at those followers without hesitation and said, "Hold them back."

"Yes, sir." The followers nodded at the same time and did not hesitate at all. They were Lu Yizha's followers, and they had given Lu Yizha orders. Even if it was an order to them... It would be very dangerous, and they wouldn't disobey Lu Yizha's order.
