Chapter 59: Dark Arrows

On the meadow at night, bonfires are everywhere.

The men who rode around the bonfire barbecued the wild things they had hunted during the day, giggling and talking about the experience of victory, boasting about how many warriors of the Fourth Prince's Department they had photographed their horses, and who else was not as strong as he was overturned by him, and even the Fourth Prince was only the last person who did not fall off the horse, and it was only because the leader of the team had saved him face.

Qiong'er carefully roasted the hare in her hand, as well as some wild vegetables and mushrooms she had just picked up. There is no water source near this pasture, and they carry a limited number of water bladders, but they have to provide ten days of drinking, and there are not enough people, let alone horses. So she didn't dare to put too much salt on the hare, for fear that it would taste good, but she had to drink more water.

Yue Jinsheng has been wiping one of his bows, Qiong'er has seen him shoot with this bow during the day, and he feels that the quality is good, the wood is thick and has an iron body, the two ends seem to be made of horns or antlers, the bowstring is tendon, it is handled very well, it is wound with multiple strands, the bearing force is large enough, and the range can reach about 100 steps.

Since coming out of the mountain, Qiong'er, who has been kept in the house, has not seen much of the weapons of the Moon Dynasty, but in the bow of this place in the north, this one is a good thing. Although it was not as heavy and durable as the iron gall bow in the hand of the Great Khan, if that thing was equipped by a powerful person, it could pose as well as it did in the daytime, and hit the target at an extremely long range.

But if it is a person with little strength, or when the two armies are facing each other, it is not applicable. After all, when a person's strength is exhausted, it is very dangerous to repeatedly operate this kind of heavy bow and consume the body on the battlefield.

Unless the iron gallant heavy bow is changed to a long-range heavy crossbow, which is set on the ground, the two of them will shoot together from a long distance, and the other party will shoot at a distance of three hundred paces

Suddenly, with Shangyue Jinsheng's inquiring gaze, Qiong'er quickly turned his face and concentrated on roasting the somewhat mushy rabbit meat.

Smelling some mush, Qiong'er awkwardly withdrew the rabbit meat, took out a dagger from his arms to eliminate some mushy places, and handed it over.

Yue Jinsheng ignored the moment he saw just now, took the rabbit meat and ate it with a frown. Qiong'er gnawed on the wild vegetables with a weak heart, and her eyes didn't dare to glance around.

After dinner, Yue Jinsheng fell asleep by the fire, but Qiong'er was in charge of the vigil with strong spirits. She hadn't ridden a horse for more than ten years, and after a long time, she almost forgot that she was so tired of riding, her inner thighs were hot and tight because of the friction for a day, and the bones in her body were loose.

The two of them are actually in the innermost circle of the team, so there will be no surprises at all. Even if there were wild beasts that were not afraid of campfires at night, there were more than a thousand people around them and the same number of horses, and they would have woken up long before they got closer.

The fire gradually went out, and the darkness kept hitting the deep sleep that enveloped the dome, and she couldn't help but bow her head.

Until he was tapped on the shoulder, he suddenly woke up, and looked stiffly at Yue Jinsheng next to him who didn't know when he touched it, and almost poked out the dagger he was holding in his hand.

Yue Jinsheng motioned for her not to make a sound, pointed outside, and led the dome into the darkness gently.

On the grass, there is no place to hide your body except to hide in it. Qiong'er lay next to Yue Jinsheng, watching several groups of people walk back and forth past the place where they were sitting just now, seemed to stay for a moment, and then left again as if nothing happened. It's just that the metallic cold light occasionally reflected under the moonlight makes the dome frightened.

Is this going to kill them both?

People who can enter the inner circle are all fine riders! That's the person from the Three Princes' Department, the personal guard that the Great Khan gave to his son! Could it be that the Great Khan wants to find an opportunity to kill this son?

Why?

He doesn't love Concubine Yue very much?

Yue Jinsheng didn't react in surprise at all, it seemed that everything he expected was expected. Qiong'er's heart sank, yes! If he hadn't thought of his father Khan for murderous intentions, how could he have taken himself to hide in advance? At this moment, she understood why Yue Jin Sheng wanted to take herself, if it weren't for her own ugly slave, Yue Jin Sheng would have eaten and rested with those elite riders, then

When the sky was dark, the two of them, who had been sleepless all night, reappeared in the same place, as if they had never left. It was only a moment before the outer ring suddenly became chaotic.

There is an enemy attack!

Qiong'er looked at Yue Jinsheng in confusion, where did the enemy attack come from in this vast grassland, the northern boundary? The elite horsemen reacted quickly, and quickly got up, not to mention the formation, because it was a sneak attack, in order to avoid the sound of horses' hooves waking people up, the other party did not ride horses.

In the glow of the day, the hand-to-hand combat of more than 1,000 people began!

Yue Jinsheng was approached by more than 100 people with the dome and protected in the inner circle. The battle was fought from a distance, and it was not clear in the haze, and the only way to distinguish between distance and proximity could be distinguished by the occasional intersecting of weapons or the sound of muffled grunts.

The force value of these elite cavalry is indeed very high, and they have always controlled the battlefield from a distance and cannot get close, but the tension in the firmament has not been reduced. There are more than 100 men around him, and one person and one knife can chop her and Yue Jinsheng into meat puree.

Fortunately, the game only lasted for an hour before it ended, and the hand-to-hand combat was all about strength, and there was no tactics at all. The opponent's sneak attack was repulsed, and the elite horsemen surrounded them again.

"Damn, these five princes are really a bad breed, and they never come out to fight head-on except for secret sneak attacks!"

"So what, haven't we beaten you back?"

"Hahahaha, the fifth prince didn't participate at all, I guess I sat on the horse and watched the battle in the back!"

"It's a shame that those people followed such a master!"

"What a shame for our northern tribe!"

"Hey, hey, hey, they lost and went back to be beaten by that scumbag, I guess it's even more heartbroken!"

Qiong'er's hand preparing breakfast paused, it turned out to be the fifth prince's department to sneak attack? Yesterday, there was a provocative battle between the four princes, and before dawn, it was the time when people were most tired and weak, but another tribe appeared to attack. Is this because Yue Jinsheng's character is too poor, or has Beibi always hunted like this?

At breakfast, Hu Erhan came over to report the battle situation to Yue Jinsheng, as well as the problem of casualties. Although they are all members of the same clan and cannot kill people with weapons, there are still accidental injuries. The damage of this night attack is much greater than that of the daytime, after all, in the case of low light, there will always be a knife or two to stab people.

Yue Jinsheng just nodded, and did not have any extra explanations, and seemed to trust the leader of this elite cavalry very much.

"Prince, today we have to find a water source, otherwise we won't have enough supplies for these days!" As he spoke, his eyes drifted across the firmament.

"Okay, I'm participating in the hunt for the first time this year, and I don't know the direction, just lead the team!" Yue Jinsheng didn't care about responding, but his body moved a little, blocking Huerhan's sight shooting at the dome.
