Chapter 8: The Race to the Death

Taking off the heavy leather armor and putting on the chain mail that was much more dexterous, Zhang Yunwen checked the knife again, and everything was ready.

Picking up a bag of black plant ash and a bundle of carbon strips, Zhang Yunwen walked out of the tent.

Habitually raising his wrist, but it is empty. Only then did I remember that it is still the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, and it is no longer the Lang Son battlefield in Vietnam. Then I remembered the damn watch, two minutes, two damn two minutes.

In half an hour, a hundred people came to the school field one after another, and no one was late. And with them, there were many captains and generals who watched the excitement.

"Little Housheng, how can you be so bold, you want one person to fight a hundred people! Don't say it's you, I'm afraid Yuwen Chengdu can't do it! As soon as Cheng Biting Jin met, he slapped Zhang Yunwen on the shoulder.

Rubbing his shoulders, Zhang Yunwen said helplessly: "Please rest assured General Cheng, if the subordinate is not sure, he will not take a risk!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin's face trembled, and he leaned close to Zhang Yunwen's ear: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin asked me to give you a message." These proud soldiers should be beaten up! But there are a few people you need to pay attention to. Turning his gaze to the few people on the school ground, Zhang Yunwen clearly remembered that these people were sent by General Xue Wanche.

Zhang Yunwen was taken aback, Xue Wanche was the general of the East Palace, the East Palace was so far away from Luoyang, it was impossible for the prince to know that he was going to set up a reconnaissance battalion, and the only possibility was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi who was now in the military camp. Didn't King Qi instruct Xue Wanche to send a few soldiers to investigate the truth?

Zhang Yunwen nodded, indicating that he knew, it seemed that none of these people would survive.

Cheng Yanjin was satisfied and stood aside with a cadre of generals to chat, watching Zhang Yunwen train the team.

"That's it! All of them have. Now obey my command, and go out of the camp to the right until you reach the edge of the woods. ”

Seeing these hundred people walking out of the barracks to the right, Zhang Yunwen said hello to the generals who came here, and also went out to the right to catch up with the team.

As soon as he arrived in the woods, Zhang Yunwen stood in a standard military posture and said to the hundred: "Okay, my soldiers, enjoy the feeling of death from now on!" ”

After saying that, without waiting for these people to come to their senses, they turned around and disappeared into the woods.

The hundred men looked at each other for a moment, and soon divided into several small groups. The eight soldiers sent by Qiu Xinggong gathered together and echoed with the Xuanjia guards sent by Cheng Biting Jin Qinqiong; And those soldiers who were favored by Zhang Yunwen were also divided into two groups, one group was the soldiers who came voluntarily at the beginning, and the other group was pulled over by Zhang Yunwen with an arrow; Xue Wanche's six soldiers as a regiment; The five deserters who were brought by Zhang Yunwen to fill the number were also huddled together.

Although these people are all **, due to the relationship between the camp and righteousness, they are separated, giving Zhang Yunwen a chance to break through.

These soldiers are also veterans of the Eastern Expedition and Western Expedition since the establishment of Li Tang, and they have very rich combat experience, seeing Zhang Yunwen disappearing into the woods, these small groups hurriedly formed a circle formation to defend against Zhang Yunwen's sneak attack.

However, how can defense alone leave white ashes on Zhang Yunwen's body, so these small groups each launched a person to discuss how to act.

"We each led people to search in one direction, and whenever we met the kid surnamed Zhang, we would quickly whistle as a police officer, and don't give that kid a chance. When the rest of the people heard the whistling, they immediately moved in that direction and tried to encircle the boy! Well, who has an opinion that has not been added! A Captain Yilu, who was emphasized by Zhang Yunwen with an arrow, said to the rest of the people. Captain Yilu belongs to the rank of official from the seventh rank, and he is considered a senior official in this group of soldiers.

"I have an opinion, there are only five of us in total, how can we search for one side alone? In the event of an attack, I'm afraid it's not enough! Chen Quankang, one of the five deserters, raised his concerns.

However, this concern was scoffed at by everyone: "Hmph, cowardly and afraid, worthy of being a deserter!" Five big men can't even deal with a kid, how can they be considered my Datang soldiers? Why don't you go home early and pick up your baby! ”

Chen Quankang's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were burning when he looked at the person who spoke out.

Captain Yi Lu hurriedly stopped the conflict between the crowd and said to Chen Quankang: "In this way, you go next to Zhao Yi and them, get closer to Zhao Yi, and if you are in trouble, you can ask him for help!" ”

Chen Quankang nodded.

"Alright, let's do it!" Captain Yi Lu said, waving his wooden knife stained with white ash.

Suddenly, the hundred people scattered in all directions, slowly searching for Zhang Yunwen's footprints.

However, the search did not go well, and from morning to afternoon, they spent a day, and still did not touch a single hair of Zhang Yunwen. Because he agreed with Zhang Yunwen that he couldn't eat, at this time, everyone was tired and hungry.

A group of soldiers walked slowly forward while looking around for clues. Suddenly, I only heard an "ah-" sound from the front, and the two vanguard soldiers fell into a deep pit nearly half a foot in unison. In the pit, several blackened charcoal were inserted at the bottom of the pit, and the two of them fell, and the armor suddenly drew black marks. On the wall of the pit, a few big black characters were written: "You are dead!" ”

One of the soldiers at the end of the line turned around, found that there was no harm behind him, and turned to follow the group again. However, suddenly, he felt a hint of danger, and hurriedly stepped forward in two steps to catch up with the soldiers in front of him. But he saw the soldier stumbling, as if he had tripped over something. Then, dozens of ash-stained branches shot out from the branches on either side, all of them in the middle of the line. Suddenly, three or four people were covered in black ash.

Traps are scattered throughout the woods. Almost every time, the screams of the soldiers could be heard, but the sound was all from the soldiers falling into the trap.

The soldiers searching for it were miserable, and they only heard the cries of their own side, but they didn't see the shadow of Zhang Yunwen.

At dusk, the soldiers who had been searching separately regrouped. When the number of people was counted, it was found that there were about 30 people missing.

The lieutenant looked at the depressed soldier and encouraged: "Brothers, don't be afraid, since that Zhang Yunwen has set a trap very well, then we don't take the initiative to attack, and come and wait for the rabbit." He bragged that he was going to knock us all over, and as long as we could drag it out until tomorrow, we won! And we don't have anything to eat, and he doesn't have anything to eat either, as long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to get through! ”

If Zhang Yunwen heard these words here, he would definitely think that a political commissar had also traveled to the Tang Dynasty like him.

The remaining sixty or so soldiers formed a circle and stood on a clearing, quietly waiting for the sunset.

However, only the sound of the branches swaying was heard, and then, a piece of charcoal shot straight at one person, and the leather armor bounced off.

Everyone was startled and looked around, but there was a vast expanse, and there was no figure. Looking at the soldier's leather armor again, there was a bit of black ash, as if mocking the people present.

The Captain Yi couldn't help but stand up and shouted, "Surnamed Zhang, what are you doing!" Don't think that a single piece of charcoal can kill someone, this doesn't count! ”

As soon as the words fell, a wooden stick shot over, hitting the black ash on the leather armor of the soldier just now, and it trembled slightly and did not fall there. A soldier next to him took off the wooden stick, but gasped.

I saw that the wooden stick was made from a sharp branch, and when it shot on the leather armor, it shot a small hole.

The lieutenant was speechless for a moment, and could only watch as the soldier left the woods.

In the following time, there were carbon bars from different directions that hit the sergeant, and many of the carbon bars actually hit the forehead directly, hitting the soldier with a large bag on the forehead.

And the rest of the soldiers knew how powerful they were, and quickly formed a formation and protected the perimeter with large shields.

By the time it was completely dark, there were only about forty men left.

In the dark, Zhang Yunwen looked at the torches lit by the soldiers, sneered, jumped up, and turned over a tree.
