Text Chapter 108 The Vanishing Phantom 2
The two of them were surprised to see each other, this man was dressed in a rough shirt covered with a layer of delicate leather armor, carrying a strong bow, and a steel knife hanging from his waist.
This man's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that this person's swords and bows were all in the military standard, but he didn't know which side he was from.
The man on the other side was frightened, and saw that he was an unfamiliar face, but he only said that he was right, and did not warn, so he pulled out his waist knife and pounced.
The young man was so frightened that he turned his head and ran, and before he could explain, he ran back and forth around the trees in a panic, hoping to get rid of him. The person behind saw that he couldn't catch up for a while, and he was even more anxious, seeing that he was moving flexibly, he didn't look like an ordinary farmer, for fear that this person's companions would come to support, and he didn't dare to make a mistake when he was alone now.
Both of them didn't know the details of the other party, and they were both worried that the other party and their companions would come to support, but they didn't dare to raise their warnings, for fear of attracting opponents, so they chased back and forth between the trees in the forest for a while, dodging. The man slashed several times in the back, but the young man took advantage of the trees to dodge.
In the past few days, scouts from both sides have repeatedly chased each other in this area, hunted and killed, and used all kinds of methods to the extreme, even pretending to be each other, and suddenly attacking each other when they were unprepared. Or set a trap to lure the enemy deep, or capture or kill, so the scouts on both sides have learned well, as long as they are not familiar faces, once they meet by chance, kill them first.
The young man who was being pursued ran away and defended himself, "Don't do it, I'm not a villain!" He didn't know the identity of this person, and he didn't dare to say his identity easily, but the pursuer was unaware of it and continued to chase and kill silently.
At last, the young man ran out of the woods in a hurry, and rushed forward regardless of the east, west, north and south, when he suddenly heard a bow and arrow swishing in his ears, which made him tremble in his heart, and it took him a while to realize that the arrow was shot behind him.
A scream of "ah-" came from behind, and the young man looked back to see that it was the chaser who had been hit by an arrow in the chest, and fell to the ground with his head in the sky and convulsed.
Immediately, three people in front of him rushed over with swords and swords, and one person at the back led his horse to follow in the distance. It turned out that the opposite scout happened to come over, and saw the two men running out of the woods, and recognized that the person behind them was not his companion in the army. Since it wasn't, it was naturally a scout of the Yuan army, and he didn't answer at the moment, and shot an arrow directly.
The three of them ignored the young man's surprised gaze, and first came over to look at the Yuan army scout who fell to the ground, only to see that the man had a mouthful of blood, his eyes were dull, and his pupils were dilated, and it was clear that he was hopeless!
One person packed up the bow and arrow and waist knife on the ground, searched him, and found a waist card of the Yuan army scout, which must be the Yuan army; The other two drew their swords and watched the young man warily.
"Who is you, and how can you be hunted down by the Tartars here?" One person asked, since he said this, he was naturally a scout of Linqu.
It was a young man, who looked slightly older than the young man who was being chased. They happened to meet the two men, and seeing that the Tartar scouts chasing after them did not pay attention, they took advantage of the gap to shoot him with an arrow.
This young man was terrified, he had been ordered to quietly go out of the camp to Yidu City to report the news, he was a deserter, and he did not have any scout waist cards or other tokens on him, so he was eager to find any excuses.
"The small is a nearby villager, I wanted to visit a sick aunt at a relative's house, I didn't want to meet this person in this forest, this person didn't ask, he came up to kill the little one, the little one was afraid, and escaped from the forest, fortunately I met a few military masters, the grace of saving lives, no teeth unforgettable!" The man made up his mind and replied in a pitted manner.
"Aren't you afraid that the Tartar horses are constantly scouting here now? How dare you come out alone? The man asked.
"The little ones are naturally afraid, so they took advantage of the dawn to think about quietly hurrying, not taking the avenues, taking the paths, but they still encountered a military disaster."
"What is your name, where do you live, and where are you going?"
"Little Roth, who lives in Tianjiabao, twenty miles to the west, rushed to the wicker shop in the east."
One question and one answer, but there are no flaws. This person has been in the Jing'an Army's baggage camp for more than ten days, because he has been transporting baggage back and forth, and has talked with many people, and has taken out a lot of local information, which is just right at this time.
Look at him with a horrified face, his clothes are completely dressed by locals, but there are no horses' feet.
After repeated questioning, the young man gradually stabilized his mind and replied more and more methodically.
As the leader of this investigation, Yan Wei always felt that something was wrong. Since Yu Zhilong captured the city, because of his military exploits, he was selected by Sun Xing to enter the scout team of the Jing'an Army, awarded the head of the brand, and had several brothers under him. Now that the war is imminent, whether it is the Yuan army in Yidu or the Shuntian army in Linqu, including the scouts of the Jing'an army, they have repeatedly appeared in this area day and night, and the two sides have fought dozens of times, with casualties on each other.
Ordinary people are worried about being involved in the war, so those who can hide in other places try to avoid other places, and those who have nowhere to go try to hide in the village as much as possible, and will not leave the village unless they have to.
The reason for this man's statement seems to be believable, but the accent is slightly different from that of the locals. However, if you judge by the accent, it is obviously insufficient. Yan Wei hesitated for a moment, and motioned for a companion to enter the forest to investigate carefully, lest there be a companion behind the Yuan army spout.
Yan Wei continued to interrogate, did not find any flaws, but the doubts in his heart were even worse, at this time the teammates behind led the horse over, saw a corpse on the ground, casually asked, knowing that he had met an enemy scout, and sighed: "What day is it today, why did you continue to meet the spies of the Tartars?" On the contrary, it is difficult for villagers to meet these days! โ
Yan Wei's heart moved, as if he had found something, and seeing that the young man's expression was gradually uneasy, he couldn't help rubbing his pants with one hand behind him. His expression remained unchanged, and he said, "It's not safe on the road now, it's okay or don't go out, you can go." โ
The young man's heart was overjoyed, he thanked him tremblingly, turned around and continued to walk out of the forest, he did not dare to step too quickly, he forcibly endured his uneasiness and joy, and just wanted to leave quickly.
Yan Wei looked at this person's back, from top to bottom, repeatedly examined, and his eyes suddenly fell on this person's dusty shoes, which were clearly a batch of military shoes made by the Jing'an Army! He was shocked in his heart and shouted, "Stop! "It's going to catch up.
Just as Yan Wei shouted out, he heard a miserable scream in the forest, but it was from the person who had just entered the forest to search.
Yan Wei and the three of them were taken aback, the enemy attacked!
Hearing the screams of their companions, the three of them immediately knew that something was wrong, and they all turned their heads to look at Lin Nei, only to see Lin Nei stumbling out of a person, it was his own companion, he was bleeding from his shoulders, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "There is an enemy, run!" โ
Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves in the forest was chaotic, and after a while, he rushed out to count the Yuan army, followed by several horses!
Yan Wei suffered a loss when several people had dismounted, hurriedly met the enemy, and was suddenly at a disadvantage.
Yuan Qi waved the snow bright sword and went straight to Yan Wei, fortunately, because he rushed out of the forest, the horse speed could not be too fast, Yan Wei saw the enemy appear, and immediately flashed behind his horse, striving to get on the horse and fight the enemy.
Yuan rode quickly, the knife was chopped, the three of them raised their knives to greet each other, when the sound was endless, Yan Wei grabbed the horse in the melee, raised the steel knife to meet the Yuan cavalry scout, and strived to give his companions the opportunity to get on the horse. There were six or seven people in this Yuan army, and the number was more than them, and Yan Wei's companion who had just entered the forest was already wounded, and he was inconvenient to move in the melee, and he made a mistake and was struck by the enemy, and he screamed again and fell to the ground and died.
"Da Zhuang!" Yan Wei was anxious to fire in his eyes, and he mustered his strength, he was born in a fighting line, and he was skilled in martial arts, and when he saw the empty door that was exposed because of excitement after the other party succeeded, he leaned over and swung the knife, slashing the man's shoulder, and the pain made the pawn sigh, abandoned the knife, leaned over and turned the horse back.
The two Yuan Riders suddenly saw a young man who was hurrying in the distance, thinking that it was a gang of thieves, and they didn't ask, but when they saw that it was a little far away, they took off the bow and arrow on the saddle, and opened their bows and shot!
The young man turned his head and saw several cavalry troops running out of the forest, he was happy in his heart, and wanted to come back to greet him, but when he saw two Yuan soldiers shooting arrows with bows, they were aiming at themselves, and he was shocked, and quickly waved his hand indiscriminately and shouted: "Don't shoot arrows!" Own! Don't shoot arrows, your own people."
He can see it clearly now, and the Yuan Qi who rushed out behind him was dressed as an official soldier.
Yuan Qi didn't pay attention to it at all, two carved arrows flew out like meteors, the young man didn't expect Yuan Qi to act like this, and waved his hand with his arms open, his happy expression had not fully bloomed, "Poofโโ, poof-" Two sounds, two carved arrows hit him under the ribs and shoulder!
"My own people!" The young man could barely cry, having fled the barracks with all his hard work and came with the hope of revenge, but he was met with such an incident on the way.
"I'm Meng Wu of the Meng Clan's Righteous Army, and I have news of the anti-thiefโ"
He endured the pain, pressed the wound under his ribs with one hand, and wanted to hide to the side first. The Yuan cavalry chasing behind hung up the strong bow, took off the spear under his crotch, urged the war horse, and continued to rush towards him. The snow-bright spear head showed a chill in the daylight.
Yan Wei finally blocked the assassination of several Yuan Cavalry, bought time for the two companions to get on their horses, and the three of them rode their horses and galloped wildly, leaving the battlefield, turning back and shooting arrows from time to time to deter the Yuan Cavalry who wanted to chase after them.
The two sides fired arrows at each other, and soon one of Yan Wei's men was shot off his horse by the Yuan cavalry, and was immediately assassinated by the Yuan cavalry galloping over.
While escaping, Yan Wei turned his head to look at the young man, in the green grassy field, this person was hit by two arrows, and his chest was sore by the Yuan army's spear, and he fell to the ground quietly, motionless.
"I wonder who this person is? actually wore the military shoes of the Jing'an Army, and when he saw us and others, he spoke falsely, and he was clearly not a good person! He was so busy saving himself and others that he didn't hear the young man's shout, "Your own people!" and so on.
"Brother Qi, I'm sorry, Xiao Wu didn't finish your explanation-" The young man's last consciousness drifted in his mind before he died. He was stabbed in the chest by Yuan Qi's spear again, his heart and lungs were completely destroyed, and even the divine doctor couldn't save his life!
According to the battle report of the Jing'an Army on the same day, Yan Wei and the four of them encountered the enemy at the Jiapigou about 30 miles in the north, killed two enemies, injured one enemy, and lost two of them himself, but did not capture them. Halfway through, he encountered a suspicious person, and before he could be interrogated, he was killed by the Yuan Qi.
Yidu Road Battle Report, on the same day, he encountered the enemy at the Jiapi Ditch, lost two people, killed three enemies, captured two war horses, and a bow.
Meng Qi and the others continued to wait for a reply in the baggage camp, completely unaware that the sent companion Meng Wu had suffered and died at the hands of the Yuan army.
And so another day passed.
