"Hurry, hurry up," Rudolf shouted to help.
The carriage finally reached them, and they hurriedly hid inside.
Cheng Qianxun also hurriedly hid under the carriage.
The small space underneath was almost filled with knights, at least a dozen of them.
The rest were either shot to death or fled into the nearby woods and hid behind trees.
And an arrow shot into the black cloth covering the eyes of the horse pulling the cart.
With a "squeak" sound, the horse finally fell down, its four hooves twitched a few times, and died.
Everyone hid in the carriage and could not move for the time being.
If the carriage had to move, it would have to carry hundreds of kilograms of dead horses, which did not have that much strength.
From where the arrow came, a voice came: "Viscount Gordon, surrender, if you surrender, your safety will be guaranteed."
Gordon looked at the corpses of knights lying on the ground outside.
There were about fourteen or five dead, and there were three or four injured at the bottom of the carriage.
This time, almost half of the knights brought out this time were destroyed, and the other twenty or so knights all hid, their lives uncertain.
He thought for a moment and replied in a loud voice: "You have to know who to surrender to.
Do you dare to tell me your name?"
"Does Viscount Gordon still have the right to choose?"
the other party laughed.
But a voice sounded: "I, Marquis Louis.
I want to avenge my dead daughter and unborn grandson.
Gordon, if you don't surrender, I will ask the archers to shoot you into hedgehogs one by one."
Everyone rolled their eyes at Marquis Louis.
He was really high-spirited and tireless, or rather haunting.
Louis must have felt that he would win this time, so he dared to say his name.
Shooting secret arrows in the back is no longer about upholding or not upholding the dignity of the nobility.
Rudolph shook his head slightly: "It seems that the money left to him was still too much.
He sold it all and hired archers and knights."
Gordon asked slightly nervously: "Approximately how many people are there?"
Everyone was nervous.
Gordon had figured it out.
Among the knights next to him, even the junior knights were so frightened that they trembled all over.
Rudolf made some calculations: "If all his remaining assets are sold, he can hire about thirty archers and ten knights.
Archers can also be used as swordsmen, so his number is at most forty."
"Forty" a young knight exclaimed softly: "But there were only thirty-two of us when we came out.
And there were so many dead and wounded."
"The number of people sometimes means nothing."
Rudolph looked at the panicked knight coldly: "One of them is enough to kill four of you, and I am enough to kill ten of them."
These words make perfect sense.
Cheng Qianxun seized the opportunity and opened his mouth suddenly.
He seemed to burst into laughter, which made the other knights very amused.
Gordon reached out and touched Xuehu's head for the first time, letting others see Xuehu smiling.
He deliberately smiled to encourage morale: "You're right, even foxes know this truth, so don't say anything stupider than a pig."
Someone shouted again: "Viscount Gordon, do you surrender?"
Gordon was not stupid and shouted outside: "This is a big matter, let me think about it."
Then he looked around: "I decided to fight."
But how to hit Rudolph raised the corner of his mouth confidently: "Delay time, it is almost noon now.

Delay until evening.
At night, take advantage of the darkness to escape into the woods to meet the others, and then fight back."
Gordon nodded and slapped the young knight on the shoulder who just said the wrong thing: "Archers have poor swordsmanship and fight at close range.
Now you can kill two of them alone."
All the knights will smile heartily.
In fact, these are words of comfort, but they sound quite reasonable.
Archers work hard to practice archery.
Unless they are extremely talented, their swordsmanship will naturally not be as strong as that of swordsmen who have been practicing swordsmanship.
This is the same as most swordsmen are not as good at archery as archers.
Rudolph looked sideways around the woods.
Some knights were still hiding behind the trees.
He was not sure how much he said: "We have to find a way to notify others.
Let them gather in one place at night, and then we will attack them from both sides and beat them.
I can’t even escape, so this old guy Louis will lose all his money this time and be completely put to rest.”
But who was going to deliver the message?
A knight threw away the leather hat he was wearing.
After a few rounds, four or five arrows were shot out, two of which nailed the top of the hat to the snow, and the white feathers on the tail of the sword were still buzzing and trembling.
No one dared to go out, Rudolf said: "I'll go."
He was just about to leave.
Snow Fox bit his sleeve with her mouth.
Rudolf was stunned: "You go" Cheng Qianxun nodded sharply.
She couldn't let Rudolph and Gordon take risks.
Once they died, she would be considered a failure.
After a while, when Rudolph shouted: "Three two one, throw" several fur hats were thrown out from the bottom of the carriage.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A group of arrows shot out.
After the arrow fell, Cheng Qianxun quickly ran towards the woods nearby.
When the archers saw that they were all hats, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they saw a slender white figure emerging from the bottom of the car and thought they were dazzled.
When he saw clearly that it was a snow fox, he heard Louis yell angrily: "Shoot, shoot it to death, hurry up!"
It’s just a fox, but if the employer says to shoot it, then shoot it.
Cheng Qianxun hurriedly made a zigzag to escape, got rid of the arrow, and jumped into the woods.
Hiding behind the tree, she let out a long breath, and then hurriedly went to find the other knights.
After running for about ten meters, we found four or five people.
She called out to them twice and raised her neck, letting them see that there was a piece of linen tied around her neck and a piece of animal skin tied underneath.
One of the people came over, took off the animal skin suspiciously, and opened it to look at it.
It was a charcoal sketch of where they were going.
"Brothers, come with me, maybe it will happen again this time."
The man was greeting others to leave, but his pants were bitten by the snow fox.
He looked back and saw Xuehu let go of his pants and stared at the animal skin in his hand, as if he understood something: "You still want to inform others."
Xuehu nodded, squatting there and continuing to look at him.
He rolled up the animal skin as it was, tied it with linen, and touched the snow fox's head: "Go ahead."
Cheng Qianxun then continued to look for other knights hiding in the woods, and a voice of admiration came from behind: "This smart little guy."
It doesn't matter if she praises her, it's all praise to Snow Fox.
She just wants Gordon and Rudolph to be safe.

Search one by one and let them see the map one by one. . .
When it was getting dark, Cheng Qianxun was panting from exhaustion.
All four legs were numb.
Presumably, all the surviving knights must have been notified, and those who were not notified must have gone back to report the news.
Going back to report the news does not mean going back along the original route, you need to bypass these archers.
Maybe Louis had set an ambush on the road too close.
I don’t know when the remaining knights in the castle will be reinforced.
Cheng Qianxun ran to where the carriage was parked.
She secretly exposed her head and smiled at Gordon and Rudolph under the car.
But they didn't notice it yet, so she turned around and picked up a small stone with her mouth, placed it on the snow, turned around and kicked it back with her hind foot.
Haven't found it yet, here's another one.
During the second piece, Rudolph and Gordon noticed it and turned around.
She smiled at them.
He nodded.
When she heard the sound of a bow string vibrating, she quickly retracted her head, and an arrow hit the tree trunk where she was hiding, which scared her and made her heart beat much faster.
Okay, the next step is to wait for it to get dark.
But Cheng Qianxun discovered something that was extremely disadvantageous to her.
When she returned to her human form, the surrounding cold would freeze her within five minutes.
Could it be that she had to walk in the snow again, staying awake and struggling until Gordon and the others came over?
When she heard something moving outside, she secretly poked her head out to take a look, and was immediately moved.
Rudolf was holding a sword and cutting the rope connecting the dead horse and the carriage, his exposed arm.
There were miscellaneous things tied up, including wine bags and leather bags.
These things were all made of cowhide or pigskin and were very hard.
Although arrows were fired, they were all blocked.
The rope was finally cut.
Gordon gave an order: "Come on, let's push together."
All the uninjured people pushed the carriage towards her.
And the injured person covered his wound.
Move little by little with the carriage.
Arrows kept coming, even if they penetrated the carriage, they were just arrows.
Thanks to the fact that the technology of this era is not as good as that of the Qin and Han dynasties, otherwise the Qin and Han dynasty's arrows would have shot through, let alone wooden boards, even iron armor.
It is said that powerful archers could shoot through six or eight layers of wood, leaving the people under the car behind.
A complete hedgehog.
Finally moving to the woods, everyone got out from under the car.
Gordon picked up Cheng Qianxun and touched her head gratefully.
I heard Louis' people shouting: "You can't escape, we have long surrounded this place."
I don't know whether it is true or not.
In order to buy time, Rudolf shouted back: "We can consider surrender, but we must first discuss the conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Nonsense, don't you want us to pay?"
Then there was a long silence, and Louis probably started to think about how much compensation he would need from them.
This is not the time to be impulsive.
Even if he wants to avenge his daughter, he still needs to reward the people who worked for him with compensation.
Even if you want to kill Gordon, you must first figure out how to make Gordon surrender, capture and then kill him.
If the conditions cannot be negotiated, Gordon may not be able to take the lead.

Gordon and the other knights laughed immediately.
This was the best way to delay.
So everyone sat down, took out the food reserves around them and started eating.
While Rudolf was chewing dry bread, he continued to stall for time: "What, a thousand gold coins, that's too much.
Is Marquis Louis a robber?
Viscount Gordon can't come up with that much money."
Louis was furious: "Why can't I get it out?
This guy Gordon took at least five thousand gold coins and a lot of land from me."
"That was also shared equally among the three gentlemen.
Count Sneed got the most.
If you don't believe me, just ask."
Rudolf opened the cork and returned the drink.
"Did Sneijder be eaten by wolves?
There is not even a ghost in his manor now, and the money is gone."
Louis roared.
Rudolph wiped his mouth: "It must have been taken away by his housekeeper.
Whether you believe it or not, we adults only got five hundred gold coins."
"No, I want a thousand and land..."
So the two of them were arguing
