Chapter 887: Wild Beast (Part II)
Chapter 945: Wild Beast (II)
"Stabilize ......"
"Watch the hook!"
"I won't die for thousands of years, and if I can go back this time, everyone is my dearest brother."
"The benefits of being knighted are indispensable to everyone...... So cheer up and keep your life! β
In the low roaring wind, the figures moving forward passed through the cliffs and mountain walls, and the scout named Zou Hu followed the green forest lord Ren Rampage, pulling the rope through the difficult places.
"If things go well, the merits we won this time, the wife and the shadow son, will not be used up in a few lifetimes!"
What sounded in Zou Hu's mind was Ren Hengchong's encouragement before he set off.
The scout war between the Black Flag and the Golden Man has been officially started on October 22, and it has been two months since today. During this time, their group of scouts who had been transferred from the Han army suffered heavy casualties.
Inspired by various head rewards, the scout elites on the battlefield also burst into amazing fighting passions at first. But soon after, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, who walked through the forest and cooperated tacitly and calmly carried out the killing again and again, gave them a head-on blow.
Camouflage costumes similar to those in the mountains and forests, monitoring personnel arranged from various commanding heights, the movement and cooperation between various teams, the strong crossbows that catch the enemy's concentrated fire, the increasingly hidden mines planted on the mountain roads, and even the gunfire from an unknown distance...... The team tactics specially prepared by the other party in the mountains and forests have taught these elites who rely on "strange people" and have the ability to eat through mountains and mountains.
It's just that the course fee is paid for in human life.
The ten-member team led by Zou Hu was considered to be the luckier among all the excluded scout teams, due to the relative lag of the area in charge, after holding out for a month, only two out of ten people died, but basically did not get much credit.
He had two more contacts with the Blood Covered God Fist Ren Hengchong, and this green forest tycoon admired Zou Hu's skills and summoned him to act together.
Ren Hengchong is among all kinds of scouts, and he is a very important official among the Jurchens. Such people often rush ahead, have benefits, but also face greater dangers. He originally led a team of more than 100 people, and also hunted and killed the heads of some members of the Black Flag Army, and his subordinates suffered a lot of losses, but in an accident in early December, everyone finally suffered a great injury.
At that time, the Huaxia army organized a rainy night raid, and after gathering in the rugged mountains, more than 300 people came to a temporary garrison point on the mountain road controlled by the Jurchens. Perhaps because of the detailed investigation carried out in normal times, they quickly cleared the outer guard point in the dark night, and entered the muddy camp, and the military camp was suddenly attacked, which almost caused a mutiny for a while.
If this is on the flat ground, it is almost impossible for people to gather together again in the dark night, but the terrain between the mountain roads prevents the escape, and the Jurchens react quickly, and the two teams quickly blocked the front and back roads, although the Han army in the camp suffered a massacre, but finally survived and dragged the situation into a stalemate.
Seeing that the plan failed, the Black Flag Army began to retreat quickly into the darkness, and the mountain road was also difficult to travel at this time, and the Jurchen commander thought that it was best to hold the other party's tail and chase for a while, and the other party would inevitably have to pay some price in this chaotic situation, and everyone chased after him. Several grenades on the mountain were successfully blasted in the rain, shattering the already slippery mountain wall and causing mudslides that engulfed many people.
Ren Hengchong and his party suffered the greatest loss in this accident, and his disciples and grandchildren were already injured, and after this time, some people left bravely, leaving less than twenty people. Of Zou Hu's men, only one survived.
At this time, the battle in the mountains became more and more dangerous, and the surviving Han scouts had already learned the ferocity of the black flag, and they no longer dared to move forward after entering the mountain. Some of them asked to leave, but the Jurchens refused the scouts' retreat on the grounds that the access was tight and they were not allowed to retreat - on the surface, this was not aimed at them, and it was indeed becoming more and more difficult to transport them by mountain roads, and even the Jurchen wounded were arranged to be treated in a military camp near the front line at this time.
Morale is low, unable to retreat, and the only good thing is that neither of them will break up at the moment. Ren Hengchong is strong in martial arts, led more than 100 people before, and also won more than 20 black flag heads in the battle for merit.
But Ren Hengchong was an energetic and courageous person, and in the following days, he instigated and encouraged his subordinates to take another wave of wealth, and pulled several masters into the gang to "participate in the grand event". He seemed to have foreseen a certain action, and after the fifteenth of December, he received certain news that it was raining in the darkness of the night in the early morning of the nineteenth day. A group of twenty-seven people who were originally lying near the front line followed Ren Hengchong to carry out the operation.
Before the operation, few people knew what the purpose of this trip was, but Ren Hengchong was still a superior with personal charm after all, he was calm and domineering, thoughtful and decisive. Before leaving, he assured everyone that whether the operation succeeded or failed, it would be their last shot, and once the operation was successful, they would be knighted in the future.
Everyone knows that this is going to be a big thing.
But under the instigation of Ren Hengchong, Zou Hu thought to himself that a person's life should always experience such an adventure.
They circled around the rugged mountains, avoiding the location of several watchtowers. At this time, the weather is beautiful and rainy, and many places that would normally be found by hot air balloons are finally able to venture through. There were several dangers during the advance, and when passing a cliff, Zou Hu almost fell down the cliff, and Ren Hengchong in front of him stretched out a hand to hold him.
"Be careful, let's go back together!"
Ren Hengchong encouraged him so much.
By noon, the sky was still dark, the mountain wind was howling, and everyone stopped at a mountain beam. Zou Hu vaguely knew in his heart that the position they were in had bypassed the Shura Field in Yushui Creek in front of them, and it seemed that they had come to the rear of the Black Flag Army battlefield.
"Now, the purpose of this trip can be told to your brothers."
Ren Hengchong spoke, and everyone's hearts were thumping, only to see the green forest tycoon pointing ahead: "Beyond here, in front of you is the camp where the Black Flag Army treats the wounded, and there is another prisoner camp nearby." There will be a big battle in Rainwater Creek today, and I also know that among the captives, there are also people who have arranged for a mutiny, and our target is in this wounded barracks. β
After he said this, someone reacted: "Zhao, if there is chaos before and after, we enter the wounded barracks, and we want as many heads as we want, then how many heads will ......"
Ren Hengchong laughed: "Haha, on weekdays, I may want to take a few more heads to invite credit, but at this time, my brother underestimated Ren." I have an old relationship with the Naning people, and I have arranged for people to be in the southwest for a few years. β
Someone's face suddenly turned white: "Stabb, assassinate, kill Ningren and slaughter ......"
As soon as his voice came out, everyone's faces changed suddenly.
Ning Yi killed the monarch and rebelled, the name of the demon and the bloody hand slaughter is known all over the world, and there are many discussions about it in the green forest, some people say that he is actually not good at martial arts, but more people think that his martial arts have long been not the first in the world, and he should be one of the best masters.
Fang La failed to kill him back then, Zhou Dong had a sympathetic friendship with him, he destroyed Liangshan, Lin Zongwu suffered a big loss with him several times, and then there was a rumor that Lu Tuo was killed by a trick. If it weren't for the fact that he had murdered too many people, far more than the number of killings by ordinary great grandmasters, I am afraid that people would be more familiar with his achievements in the green forest, rather than his atrocities of killing kings.
Even though there are not many people in the green forest who have actually seen the heart demon attack, it is also a fact that he has thwarted countless assassinations. At this time, Ren Hengchong brought more than 20 people to kill Ning Yi, although it was heroic and respectable, but many people had the idea of turning around and running away as long as the other party nodded.
Fortunately, in the cold rain, Ren Hengchong waved his hand: "Ning Motou is cautious by nature, although I also want to kill him once and for all, but many people's cars are in front, Ren will not be so reckless." This operation was not for Ning Yi, but for a little devil of the Ning family. β
He pointed ahead: "Ning Yi's second son, Ning Ji, is only thirteen years old this year, in the past few years, Ning Yi has arranged for him to help in the military medical team in order to polish him. And I bet they didn't expect us to be able to go through the mountains and reach the rear. Once the battle situation before and after is chaotic, let's take action together and catch Ning Yi's son, this is a great merit to the sky. β
The wind was inspiring, the rain was still cold, Ren Hengchong said in the end, word by word, everyone realized the power of this matter, the blood surged up, and there was also a cold feeling in their hearts.
"This thing, this thing...... We moved his son, and he will be targeted by him from now on......"
Someone whispered this sentence, and Ren Hengchong's eyes swept over: "At the moment, this battle, you are dead or alive, brothers, if Ning Yi can really carry this battle, the world is so big, do you think there is really any way to live?" β
Everyone's faces changed, and some people's eyes became firm, Zou Hu gritted his teeth: "So far, is there any way out!" β
"That's right, if the Jurchens don't win, we won't have a way to live."
"The Wu Dynasty is rotten at home, looking for death by yourself, the general trend of the world is like this, it can't be stopped after all."
"That's right, we are a group of twenty-eight people, and we haven't been found here, and none of the brothers have folded on the road, this is God's will."
After a whisper, everyone settled down, and now crossed the mountain beam, avoiding the sight of the watchtower and walked forward, and in a short time, the mountain road crossed the field of vision through the dark sky, and the outline of the camp of the wounded soldiers appeared not far away.
They were covered with gray and black cloth, all the way close, Ren Hengchong took out the binoculars, hid in the hidden place to observe carefully, at this time the battle on the front line has been going on for nearly half a day, the rear is tense, but they all pay attention to the battlefield, the camp is only occasionally wounded to send, many military doctors have rushed to the battlefield to be busy, in the steam, Ren Hengchong found the expected figure......
β¦β¦
On the battlefield of Yushuixi, Qu Zhengyan, who was dressed in a robe, climbed to the watchtower high in the foothills, raised his binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield, and occasionally, his gaze crossed the hazy sky, calculating the time of something in his heart.
β¦β¦
Seven miles away from Yushui Creek, near the winding mountain road, one soldier after another lay on the soaked grass and trees, using the terrain to hide their figures.
Chen Tian crossed one figure after another, climbed to the front, and snatched the telescope in the observer's hand: "How is it?" β
"There is no change from what I saw before, the north watchtower, the man is napping......"
Chen Tian watched quietly: "Although it is a Jurchen, it seems that his body is weak...... Hmph, Second Ancestor......"
The rain in the foothills of the mountains continued to fall, and at first glance it seemed to be just between the woods and the slopes of the wasteland, and people were quietly, waiting for Chen Tian to give the expected order.
At a certain moment, the command was transmitted in the form of a whisper.
ββ¦β¦ Get ready. β
β¦β¦
The drizzle was cold to the bones, and the weather was not suitable for transporting the wounded, so only a small number of the wounded were sent to the wounded camp at the rear of the battlefield.
There were not many wounded soldiers who were sent one after another, but the doctors in the camp rushed to the battlefield, and most of them were reduced at this time. Ning Ji participated in the morning first aid, and saw three seriously injured scouts die in front of his eyes.
That wasn't a lot at the moment, but as the matter came to an end, the smell of blood on his body seemed to carry some remnants of the warrior's death, which made him feel depressed. He didn't immediately go to inspect the tent where the wounded soldiers had gathered, found a place where no one was around, disposed of all kinds of utensils that had been stained with blood from the previous treatment, and put steel knives, sewing needles, and other items in hot water.
Before the things were washed, someone hurried over, but there was a tense situation in the nearby prisoner camp, and the soldiers who were arranged there had already reacted, and the doctor who came in a hurry came to Ning Ji to confirm his safety.
"I'm fine." Ning Ji thought for a while, "By the way, did anyone on the captive side accidentally get injured or ate the wrong thing yesterday and was sent over?" β
In the imagination of the elder brother and the staff group, it was very dangerous to run close to the front line, not only because it might not be possible to escape safely after the collapse of the front line, but also if the Jurchens knew where they were, they might send some people to attack.
For example, some prisoners were arranged to pretend to be wounded or sick after being captured, and were sent to the wounded barracks for treatment. If he could catch Ning Yi's son, the other party would most likely take a similar approach.
The doctor shook his head: "There was an order before, we don't care about the treatment of the captives for the time being, in short, we can't mix the two sides." Therefore, a few people have been sent to the prisoner camp. β
Ning Ji nodded, and was about to speak, when there was a shouting sound outside, but it was a few more injured people sent to the camp in front, Ning Ji was washing props, and said to the doctor next to him: "You go and see it first, I'll come after washing things." β
No one from the captive camp sent it over, which made Ning Ji's mood a little depressed, otherwise, he could try his luck to see if there were any masters lurking among them. Ning Ji thought about this, and looked out from the window of the boiling water room - his brother also said before that there are always flaws in the defense of the camp, and the place with the biggest flaws and the thinnest defense is the most likely to be selected as the breakthrough point.
At this time, Ning Ji frowned with some doubts.
Maybe he was thinking wrongβhe lowered the window of the boiling water room, turned around and walked to the wooden basin with the instruments on the side, changed the pot of boiling water, and walked out.
There were people walking through the camp, but at this time, there were not many people walking around in the rain in the entire wounded barracks. A watchtower has been replaced, and someone has come down from a nearby cliff and changed into white clothes. Ning Ji walked past the two tents with the basin of boiling water, and a figure came from the front.
The man stretched out his hand.
Ning Ji's brows moved, and he also stretched out his hand: "Big brother help me hold it." β
The basin of water tipped over, and boiling water poured on the man's chest.
The cold and the heat alternated on the man, and the man didn't seem to react, but he maintained a huge sense of tension and didn't scream, and at the man's side, two figures had already rushed forward.
Ning Ji was only thirteen years old at this time, he ate better than ordinary children, and his stature was slightly taller than his peers, but he was only fourteen or fifteen years old. The two figures roared and grabbed forward, bringing out the wind between their fingers, and Ning Ji's left hand also stretched forward, grabbing the two fingers of the person in front, dragging and pulling, and his body had quickly retreated.
The two fingers of the assassin in front of him were grabbed, and his body was already dragged up by Ning Ji in the air, spinning slightly, Ning Ji's right hand drooped, holding a steel knife that cut flesh and bones, and stabbed the man in the waist like lightning.
At this moment, the person who was poured boiling water was still standing, two people in front of him and one person retreated, the assassin in front of him was grabbed by his fingers, twisted his body and rotated, and one hand had been directly screwed behind the back by the child in front of him, turning into a standard hand being pressed behind his back. The assassin in the back reached out, and it was already the chest of his companion in front of him. The boy held a short blade in his hand, went straight from behind, pressed it to his neck, and pulled it away with a knife as the boy stepped back.
Blood spurted from his companion, splashing the slower Assassin's head all over his face.
At this time, Ning Ji had already taken two steps back slightly, and he turned around and walked directly into the unoccupied material tent behind. In the rain ahead, a figure fell.
The Assassin made an urgent gesture to the rear, and someone suddenly exerted force from a distance, splashing muddy water and rushing towards him, and the two failed Assassins pounced on the tent, and a crossbow bolt was fired from the tent, and the Assassin hurriedly dodged, and the bamboo knots carried in the front of the crossbow arrows soared into the sky with a sharp and piercing sound of breaking the wind.
"!"
The man who was splashed with boiling water earlier gritted his teeth and scolded, understanding the ruthlessness of the young man he faced this time. After all, his clothes were soaked by the rain, and there were several layers of separation, and although the boiling water was hot, it did not cause great damage. It just alarmed the camp, and the time they could do it might only be a moment.
Catch this kid, and they still have a chance to escape!
He and his companions swooped down on the tent ahead.
"Good time!"
In the tent in front of him, a sword light slashed out like thunder, and before he could react, his entire arm flew in the air with blood.
Ning Ji was like a tiger cub and killed it!
β¦β¦
Olecranon Rock.
The two sides of attack and defense collided like a torrent in the rain.
Braving the wind and rain, the climbing figure climbed all the way from the side to the halfway point of the eagle's beak rock, and several Jurchen scouts also frantically tried to climb up from below, and some of them raised their crossbow arrows in an attempt to make a short shot.
The place where the fire was lit was in a crack in the rock of the eagle's beak, and the fuse had been buried for several days, wrapped in special paper, not wet by the rain, and the person who lit the fire climbed in the wind and rain, repeatedly trying to blow the fire fold.
A special soldier hung the rope on the iron hook that was already embedded in the shadows, and his body swayed, and he walked on the rock wall with the rope, killing the Jurchen scouts who climbed up with iron claws and other objects.
The fight on the cliff is inconspicuous at this moment.
He just glanced over there, and then at the valley mouth that came down from behind, and determined the level of trouble with retreating at this time, so he didn't think much about it.
"Attackβ"
He gave such an order.
Spots of light appeared to ignite on the eagle's beak rock, and the two special forces tried to climb along the mountain wall to escape, and the Jurchen scouts pursued them in the rear, trying to force them to level the ground. He waved his hand over there, "Slaughter them for me." β
A squad circled that side.
Eagle's Beak Rock stands quietly in the rain.
Mao Yishan looked over there. He looked at the fighting front.
At one point, the first dull explosion appeared in the rock, followed by a series of muffled sounds, and the dull light of the fire accompanied by smoke and dust, as if drawing a crooked line on the huge rock.
At this time, the Huaxia Army's blasting technology could not completely blast the huge stone with pure brute force, they used a crack in the rock to bury gunpowder, and after the explosion, most of the people in the valley who had not yet participated in the battle looked over there. Without turning his head, he took two deep breaths and shouted, "Attack!" "The Jurchens in front of them are like rainbows!
"Forget it!" Mao Yishan waved his long knife and calmed down, and at this moment, a stone crack gradually cracked in the middle of the huge eagle's beak rock, and in a moment, the huge rock slipped towards the mouth of the valley. It moved slowly, then it exploded and fell!
The earth shook in the rain, and the boulders carried countless fragments, and built a wall of rubble more than a foot high at the mouth of the valley, and the voices of people behind could still be heard, saying, "Tell them to crawl over me!" β
At the bottom of the gourd-shaped valley, nearly a thousand relatives and guards have gathered here.
Ahead, there are 800 black flags led by Mao Yishan.
He picked up his long knife and walked towards the battle line: "There are no more fancys in this battle. β
For many years, the Jurchens have never been afraid of war.
Mao Yishan wiped his mouth and nose.
"Kill them all!"
