The terrifying thing about the wolf is not when you meet it, but when it is about to come but does not come, but it may appear at any time, the terrifying atmosphere suppresses all the residents of the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, and the hammer of the blacksmith shop in the town does not stop all night, and the hammer blows seem to hit everyone's hearts, nervous and dignified! I don't know how many people can't sleep this night, war is the most feared thing for human beings, man-made disasters are always greater than natural disasters!

The surrounding broken town walls are being urgently repaired, and a large number of bricks and stones have been moved to the wall, and in order to survive, everyone has burst out with great strength; At the same time, in order to better defend against the Huns, everyone decided to set up patrol posts in the mountains and forests around forty or fifty miles to the north, and it was the only way to come to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, because this task was very dangerous, and it was possible to encounter the Huns' outpost rangers at any time, so this work was carried out by Zhang Ji, Xiao Yi, Da Niu, and Ma Liu, who had the best riding skills and archery skills in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yi got up very early, wore a leather armor given by the cobbler, after two layers of thick cowhide nitrate, it was tightly fixed with copper nails, and the outside was coated with a thick layer of black paint, which was both strong and moisture-proof, and the key positions in the front and back of the heart were also inlaid with copper mirrors, which had strong protection and did not affect the flexibility of the arm. Then put on the 'Chiyou Ghost Face', the mask made of pure iron can not only be used for dancing, but also a good facial defense equipment, with bows and arrows, blades and big bulls, Ma Liu, together with the cobbler Zhang Ji to inspect in the distance, the atmosphere before the war made the three young people sleep badly, all of them have dark circles under their eyes, and they look like three 'national treasures'!

Fifty miles of road, fast horses can arrive in half an hour, this mountain is lush with vegetation, often infested with wild beasts, it was originally the best hunting place for everyone in their leisure time, but the peaceful and peaceful woods in the past, now in the eyes of everyone has become gloomy and terrifying, every flying forest bird, or a rabbit alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves, can make them nervously raise their bows and arrows, the kind of ambivalence that both hope to meet the enemy, but also afraid of meeting the enemy, depressed people breathless......

One day, two days, three days passed, the four of them inspected every corner of the vicinity, did not let go of any clues, the mountains and forests were still peaceful, the trace of the Huns seemed to be far away, but the atmosphere of the battle was more intense, and it was more torturous. Da Niu and Ma Liu were already obviously restless, and even shot the arrow in their hands several times when they heard a little movement, but what they shot was just a small beast running in the forest, Xiao Yi looked quite calm on the surface, just wiped the phoenix wings in his hand over and over again, only in this way could he reduce the pressure in his heart, but it was the leatherman Zhang Ji, still that cold look, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to the atmosphere before the war, obviously this is a man who has been on the battlefield and killed people!

The so-called surprise encounter is a meeting when both sides are unprepared, and the competition at this time is reaction ability and determination on the battlefield.

At noon three days later, there was still no trace of the Huns, the four-person team that had been patrolling for a long time breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to dismount and rest for a while, when suddenly a group of birds flew out of the woods in the distance, and they all flapped their wings in panic, as if they were frightened by something, the cobbler Zhang Ji immediately raised his hand and signaled everyone to hide in the shade of the trees, not to move, a pair of eyes kept scanning the surrounding woods, and at the same time listened attentively, in the mountains and forests with many obscurations, sometimes the ears are more important than the eyes......

"Da! Da! Da! With the faint sound of horses' hooves, a troop of cavalry soon emerged from the woods, all fat Hun war horses, and on the back of the horses were five men in leather armor, short in stature, with thick necks......

Before Xiao Yi and the three of them could see each other's appearance clearly, Zhang Ji, a leatherman beside him, had quickly pulled out the 5-stone big black bow and shot out with an arrow, and with the sound of the bowstring, one of the other party's cavalry fell off his horse, and then he heard the cobbler's roar: "It's the reconnaissance rangers of the Huns, kill them all!" ”

Xiao Yi reacted immediately, quickly drew his bow and aimed at the neck of a Hun soldier, shot an arrow, and quickly hit the target with the sound of breaking through the air, with Xiao Yi's eyesight, he could even see the blood spurting out of the enemy's neck, the first time he killed and saw blood, not only did not make him feel the slightest fear, but a burst of excitement poured out of his heart, as if a bloodthirsty demon in his body was awakened.

Da Niu and Ma Liuduo also reacted at this time, bent their bows and arrows, and shot two people in a row in a moment, the last Hun soldier was obviously experienced, and found a tree to cover him at the first time when he encountered the attack just now, and at this time he saw that his companions were shot and killed, and he did not love to fight, and hurriedly beat his horse and galloped back.

"Can't let him go, chase!" The cobbler roared, and the first one pursued him, and the people immediately struck their horses and followed, and when they saw the blood, they were not afraid.

The war horses of the Huns are obviously more sophisticated, far from being comparable to the war horses of the cobbler and others, and the distance of the pursuit is constantly being widened. The cabbage roared like a dragon and a tiger, and suddenly accelerated, and chased after it like an arrow from a string, and approached the target in a moment; the Huns, who were running for their lives, were obviously taken aback when they heard the sound of horses' hooves rapidly approaching behind, but the perennial experience of fighting made him react immediately, drew his bow and arrow, leaned back, and shot an arrow, and the sound of the sound of the hammer pierced the sky, and went straight to Xiao Yi's front door; The seamless movement of the cabbage was as light as an ape, and he dodged it with a slight sideways turn, and at the same time took off his phoenix wings from the hook on the side of the saddle.

The speed is incomparable, at the moment when the 'cabbage' rushed past the Huns, the cold boring blade swept by, and a frightened head immediately flew into the sky, and the blood in the cavity spurted out, and part of it fell on Xiao Yi's face, making the 'Chiyou Ghost Face' look even more hideous and terrifying, and the headless corpse ran out more than ten meters on horseback before hitting the ground......

The three cobblers also arrived at this time, Da Niu and Ma Liu were pale by the bloody scene in front of them, after all, killing people with bows and arrows at a long distance and hand-to-hand combat are two different things, the cruelty of the latter is far better than the former, however, as a newcomer to the battlefield for the first time, there is no timid retreat, nor is there a disgusting vomiting by the smell of blood, it is already considered a good performance, the recruits see blood in battle, and there are many people who are scared to pee their pants, after all, not everyone is born a cold-blooded killer!

As for Xiao Yi, the cobbler looked at the blood-stained 'Chiyou Ghost Face', nodded slightly, his vision was right, deep in the heart of this young man who always showed two dimples when he laughed, there was a bloodthirsty demon sleeping, and what he had to do now was to wake up this demon completely.

Jumping off the horse, the cobbler began to inspect the headless corpse, the key parts of the leather armor on the body were decorated with iron plates, obviously better than the previous Hun soldiers, and then took out the arrows from the quiver and looked at it, it was all iron arrows.

The cobbler's cold face immediately became serious, and he explained to the three battlefield newcomers on the side: "The Huns have backward smelting technology, and there is a great lack of iron tools and foundries, and most of the soldiers still use bronze arrows that have long been eliminated in the Central Plains, and even bone arrows made of animal bones, and only the leaders above the centurion use pure iron arrows; And being able to send a centurion as a ranger means that behind them is at least a thousand-man cavalry of the Huns. ”

After listening to the cobbler's analysis, Xiao Yi's faces changed color at the same time, the enemy situation was unexpectedly serious, a thousand elite Hun cavalry was by no means something that the hundreds of old and weak people in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion could deal with, and they must be evacuated to the south bank of the river immediately.

"Drag all the dead bodies into the woods and hide them, bury all the blood in the sand, gather all their horses, and it is estimated that it will not be long before their brigade will be killed, and we will go back at once to report the news," ordered the cobbler resolutely.

A wolf smoke rose quickly in the forest, and the wolf finally came......
