Volume 1 Crossing the Rivers and Lakes and Involving Temples Chapter 21 Fierce Battle
No one is missing, Ye Chen doesn't understand, it's just that the big living person who was still talking just now disappeared in an instant, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
Zou Hu left one person on guard, and the rest continued to grope forward. Zou Hu had already cleared four dark piles in the grass, and the one he had just cleared almost screamed, which scared Ye Chen and the others into a cold sweat. In this deep mountain and old forest, a little shouting can spread far away, if the enemy's brigade of men and horses is recruited, the brothers really don't even have a chance to survive today. Leaving a soldier on the spot for each stake cleared reduces the risk of being spotted by the enemy, because if the enemy comes to check the post, at least the soldier has a good chance of killing the enemy or running away to report to his comrades.
Ye Chen stopped suddenly, this stop doesn't matter, but it makes Zou Hu and the brothers of the pro-soldier team nervous, who will be okay and scary at this juncture! Ye Chen looked at Zou Hu and said, "Zou Hu, did you find anything unusual about these dark piles just now?" ”
Zou Hu wondered, "No." ”
Ye Chen said: "Have you noticed the difference in their clothing?" ”
Zou Hu replied thoughtfully: "If you want to say so, it is a uniform gray costume, and I don't pay attention to anything else." ”
Ye Chen smiled: "Yes, it's clothing, do you know what it means?" ”
Zou Hu was anxious: "Brother, can we not sell Guanzi, can we finish the words at one time." ”
Ye Chen said in a small voice: "The uniformity of clothing means that the other party is at least an orderly organization, plus the hidden pile set up by the other party every fifty zhang, I guess this force is not an ordinary organization, what do you think, who will set up a hidden pile every fifty zhang." ”
Zou Hu said: "As far as I know, the average organization or gang can put one or two dark whistles at most when doing things, and there are only ...... such orderly secret whistles and uniform clothing Only in the enemy spies and armies! After saying that, Zou Hu himself was shocked, and then looked at the people around him.
Ye Chen clasped his fists and looked at everyone and said: "Everyone came here with me to adventure today, I, Ye Chen, thank you, it stands to reason that we should go back first and report to Lord Huangfu before making a decision." Ye Chen looked around and continued: "However, I can't leave today, because my brother Qin Xiaoqin was tortured by them and has only one breath left, and now his life and death are unknown, and I have to take revenge on this revenge myself." I ask you for one thing, turn around and go out of the mountain immediately, you may still encounter enemies on the way, but in any case, you have to go out and notify Lord Huangfu and the Annan Provincial War Camp to come to encircle and suppress. Once such a huge number of enemies are let go, it will be our Chinese people who will suffer. As soldiers, we have the responsibility and obligation to do this, please. ”
Zou Hu stepped forward and pressed his fist and said, "We all know your intentions, but this matter should be our soldier's business, and it is most appropriate for you to go back." ”
Ye Chen looked at him and said word by word: "A month ago, with the permission of Lin Zhijiang, the general of the Longjia Army of the Annan Provincial War Camp, I have joined the Longjia Army, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lin Wu, the captain of the Longjia Army." ”
Zou Hu said suspiciously: "I heard General Lin mention it before, saying that our Longjia Army has added two new people, but now they are still on duty outside and have not returned, and everyone still questions who is so awesome, and they have not yet entered the camp and started to be on duty." ”
This time Ye Chen was confused: "Am I famous?" ”
Zou Hu suddenly laughed and hammered his shoulder, and said, "Yes." But even so, it's appropriate for you to go back and report the situation. ”
Ye Chen and Zou Hu couldn't convince anyone, and the two were at a stalemate for a while. At this time, a pro-soldier who was exploring the way ahead ran over quickly, clasped his fists at Ye Chen and Zou Hu and said, "Someone is coming, about seven or eight people, with long knives in their hands, and the most important thing is that they have crossbows hanging on their waists, just like us. ”
Zou Hu began to worry, after all, he pulled out four or five hidden piles all the way, if these people came to check the post or change shifts, then his brothers would be in trouble, and they would soon be discovered.
Ye Chen opened his mouth and asked: "Can you annihilate them in one fell swoop, do you know your people, do you have this strength?" ”
Zou Hu fell into deep thought, and thought for a while before he spoke: "We are a total of eleven people, five of us were pulled out of the dark stake before, five were sent out, and there are still six left. It's very difficult to kill these seven or eight people without a sound just by the six of us, and the other party has a repeater. ”
Zou Hu looked back at his brother and continued, "Unless we rely on the repeater in our hands to catch them off guard. ”
Ye Chen said solemnly: "In this way, we will ambush on the spot, and when they walk in, you will fire a salvo of crossbows and attack different enemies separately, maybe we can destroy them." ”
Zou Hu then ordered: "Brothers, ambush on the spot, the four of you will assign it by yourself, each with two goals, and Ye Chen and I will be on both sides to respond to everyone at any time." ”
Everyone nodded, then took cover, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
When everyone was ambushed, Ye Chen ran to a big tree in front of him, jumped up suddenly, grabbed a branch with his left hand and lifted it up hard, followed by his feet and kept climbing up, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen was already squatting on the big branch. Zou Hu also found a class tree and was afraid to go up, echoing Ye Chen from left to right.
After a while, seven or eight people with long knives in their hands, chatting as they walked, not noticing the slightest movement in front of them. When Zou Hu waited for them to be two feet away, Zou Hu slowly raised his right hand and motioned for everyone to prepare. Ye Chen also lifted the knife, ready to jump down at any time and fight in close quarters. After leading them into the encirclement, Zou Hu lowered his right hand and shouted at the same time: "Shoot!" ”
Several members of the pro-soldier team immediately used the crossbow in their hands to shoot at the enemy, and Huaguo's repeater was a four-repeater crossbow, which could only be fired four times at a time. Several people assigned the target according to the previous one, and the two crossbows shot one person, whether they hit it or not, they had to shoot the crossbow in their hands in the fastest time.
This group of enemies wearing gray combat uniforms did not expect that there were still people in ambush around the base camp, and they were not prepared at all, and five people were thrown to the ground on the spot. Seeing this, the other two immediately pulled out their legs and ran back, Ye Chen quickly jumped off the trunk of the tree, and landed on the shoulder of a man, and waved the long knife in his hand to wipe the man's neck. The other man was about to shout "There are officers and soldiers", but before the voice came out, Zou Hu had already covered his mouth with his hand, and his left and right hands twisted hard in different directions at the same time, and the man slowly fell down with a frightened look on his face, and he couldn't scream anymore. At the same time, the four pro-soldiers have drawn their knives and slashed at the enemy who was knocked down by the four crossbows at the beginning, although some people were knocked down, but they were still wailing in pain, in order to prevent the enemy from shouting again and causing unnecessary trouble, they had only one choice, mend the knife! Although on the battlefield, many soldiers and generals disdain to do such a thing as mending swords, and they do not have this habit, but this time is different, the enemy is outnumbered, the disparity is too great, and if they are not careful, they will never recover.
Ye Chen and Zou Hu looked through the corpses one by one, one by one to confirm whether the enemy was dead and could not die anymore. Ye Chen looked at Zou Hu and said, "It won't be long before the enemy will find out that his companion is gone, and he will definitely look for him everywhere." We need to hurry up and report the news, it's useless to stay here. ”
Zou Hu echoed: "That's right, let's withdraw." ”
But the two of them didn't move their legs after speaking, and for a long time, they looked at each other and smiled. Zou Hu instructed one of his subordinates: "Erwa, you take the brothers to report back quickly, you won't be able to leave if it's too late." ”
The one named Erwa didn't leave, and said with red eyes: "Team Zheng, if you don't go, we won't leave." ”
Zou Hu stepped forward and kicked it, and the second baby was kicked to the ground, he was not annoyed, patted his ass and got up and said: "Team Zheng, I'll stay, you take your brothers to go first, and then come to save me when you find the Dragon Armor Army." ”
Zou Hu wanted to step forward and kick him again, but Ye Chen stopped him, then turned his head to everyone and said, "It's all big men, don't ink, listen to your team, I'll stay with him." ”
Seeing that the second baby was still unmoved, Ye Chen immediately put the long knife across his neck, glared at him and said, "Hurry up, if you don't leave, no one can leave!" ”
Zou Hu on the side also shouted: "Get out, this is a military order, if you don't obey the order of the main general, according to the law of Dahua, you will be decided." ”
Erwa was helpless by the two, and said: "Team Zheng, you two be careful, I will definitely take everyone back as quickly as possible." ”
Zou Hu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up, go quickly." A few pro-soldiers reluctantly followed behind Erwa, turning back in three steps. Seeing this, Zou Hu picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it at them, and everyone ran back quickly.
After seeing everyone leave, Ye Chen slowly made it on Zou Hu's side, watching Zou Hu sort out the four repeating crossbows left by the brothers before leaving. He picked up a repeater and asked, "How do you use this thing?" ”
Zou Hu knew that he hadn't used this guy yet, so he began to carefully teach Ye Chen how to use the repeater, pressing the arrow, pushing the safety open, aiming at the enemy, and shooting quickly. Ye Chen played with the repeater crossbow in his hand and asked, "Who invented this, it's really ingenious, cow!" ”
Zou Hu said with a smile: "I heard General Lin mention it before, it seems that it was designed by a refining department under the Ministry of War, because this kind of repeater has greatly improved the combat capability of the army, and His Majesty has personally issued an order to reward every craftsman in the refining division who participated in the design." ”
Ye Chen nodded, and couldn't put down the repeater in his hand. Zou Hu picked up the repeater with his arrows and handed it to Ye Chen and said, "Try your hand, don't be uncomfortable when you fight." ”
Ye Chen stood up and aimed his crossbow at a large tree branch twenty zhang away, and shot three arrows in a row according to the method of Zou Hujiao, but none of the arrows hit the trunk, and the arrows all fell two or three zhang away from the trunk. Seeing this, Zou Hu smiled and said: "This repeater has one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, it can only be used in close combat, and the range is about fifteen zhang. The two armies faced each other, and the long-range archers threw them, and the enemy would only use this repeater when they were close. ”
Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, picked up the arrows shot out and reloaded them, and then chose a big tree ten zhang away to aim and shoot, only to hear a few dull sounds, and the four short arrows were all nailed into the trunk.
Zou Hu exclaimed: "Brother, you can use it for the first time, you have such a quasi-head, brother admires." Ye Chen was a little embarrassed by his praise, and then pressed the arrows of the two crossbows in front of him respectively and hung them on his waist. When everything was ready, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked briskly in the direction of the enemy's camp.
