Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
By the time Li Lingfeng and his party chased after a small mountain village, the sky was already dark, but because there was snow on the ground, it was not too dark, and the village in the distance could still be seen in the haze.
Just as they approached a distance of hundreds of paces outside the village, there was a sudden sound of scolding in the village, followed by a screaming sound, from outside the village they could see that there were a lot of torches lit in the village, so that they could see that the village was full of people, and it was obvious that the thieves who had run here had already begun to move.
After Li Lingfeng and Situ Liang glanced at each other, they both nodded to each other.
So Li Lingfeng waved his hand, and the rest of the people stayed here, and he took out a bull-eared sharp knife from his calf, and the other two scouts under him immediately pulled out a short knife like him, and held it in his hand.
Although there is a creaking sound when you step on the snow, there is a mess in the village at this time, and the women cry and the men scold, which just covers the sound of their feet stepping on the snow.
The thieves obviously did not expect that someone would touch the village at this time, leaving only two people to guard the entrance of the village, and the rest of the people broke into the village and were searching for the woman's belongings from house to house.
And the two thieves guarding the entrance of the village were not outside the village, but looked at the scene in the village with a hippie smile, both a little envious and a little expectant, they did not find that there were three black shadows in the snow quickly approaching them, and these three black shadows took advantage of the cover of some trees outside the village entrance, constantly moving their bodies, and quickly approached the village entrance.
A thief soldier held his hand, held a gun, leaned against a tree, kept looking at the village, and said in his mouth: "I said Diao Laosi, we should be unlucky today, we can't drink this soup!" In a while, it's our turn to brush the pot water! ”
The other guy smiled lewdly and replied, "Brush the pot water, brush the pot water!" When it's our turn in a while, let's pick a beautiful one and recognize it by brushing the pot water! Hey! But as soon as their words fell, they felt that something was wrong, and suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind them, and they quickly turned their heads, but as soon as their heads were turned, what fell into their eyes was a sharp knife.
Li Lingfeng's movements were clean and neat, the sharp knife was swung out like lightning, a thief's eyes widened, his mouth was wide open, and a blood mark appeared on his neck, and in a blink of an eye, the blood mark began to expand, and a stream of blood arrows spurted out from his neck, and fell on the snow, by the light of the fire in the village, the human blood that fell on the snow was so bright and dazzling, he wanted to shout a warning, but when he opened his mouth, the big mouth on his neck leaked air, and he couldn't make a sound at all, he threw away the spear in his arms, and covered the wound on his neck with both hands, Looking at the killer who suddenly appeared in front of him with frightened eyes, after a while, his legs went limp, his body fell forward and fell to the ground, and after a few kicks on his legs, he stopped moving.
At the same time, the other two scouts dealt with the remaining thief together, one of them pounced on it, strangled the guy's neck, and the short knife of one hand was directly inserted into the mouth of the guy, and the sharp blade immediately cut off the tongue of the guy, and sent it hard, and inserted the knife into his throat, and the other person pounced, and without saying a word, the knife was inserted into the heart of the guy, and with a twist, the guy's body immediately softened.
Li Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction to the two subordinates, expressing his appreciation for them, and then turned around, put his hands to his lips, and let out a night owl cry.
After hearing the signal sent by Li Lingfeng, Situ Liang waved his hand, and took the rest of the people to turn over and jump on the horse's back.
The scout equipment of the Xingtian Army is relatively chaotic, and they all choose the guys who take advantage of them according to their personal preferences, some people are equipped with riding bows, some people carry a few short javelins, and some people carry a few short axes to use as flying axes, as for the main battle weapons, some people hold cavalry robbers, and some people hold knives and sticks, in short, Xiao Tianjian does not restrict them, as long as they can give full play to their greatest strength.
As soon as these people got on the horse, they urged the war horses one after another, and rushed towards the village together, the hooves of the war horses smashed on the snow, raising a piece of residual snow, and a dozen or so people rushed to the village like a god of death in the night.
Li Lingfeng and his two scouts did not go back to ride their horses, the three of them put away their short knives, pulled out the Yanling knife from behind their backs, and after holding it tightly, they immediately dived towards the village in a place where the torch could not shine.
Feng Tiancheng's minions, who were killing people and robbing money in the village, were in full swing at this moment, shouting that they were the Xingtian Army, while dragging a teenager out of the door, slashing him on the neck, slashing the teenager to death on the spot, and shouting in his mouth: "This is the end of disobeying our Xingtian Army!" ”
Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice from the village, and some of the minions immediately stopped what they were doing, and listened carefully with their ears pricked up, and in the blink of an eye, the faces of these minions changed, because they all heard that it was the sound of cavalry galloping wildly, and the sound had reached the head of the village, so they were all a little surprised, I don't know who these cavalry came at this time, but they were not too nervous, because they knew that they only came here with the other two of their men and horses, Some of them went out into the streets of the village and looked towards the village with torches.
Situ Liang took these dozen or so subordinates scouts, and swept into the small village like a whirlwind, and saw a thief holding a torch, standing on the side of the street and looking at them, without saying a word, he took off his bow and arrows and shot over.
The arrow pierced through the darkness of the snowy night, and with a whoosh it hit the fellow's chest, and with a scream, the fellow flew upside down, falling to the snow, and screaming, "Enemy attack......"
Before he could say this, the dozen or so horses flashed past him like a whirlwind, and the last one landed right on his belly, and trampled his screams back down his throat, and his body was trampled almost in half, and when he fell back to the ground, he rolled over and died.
The scouts on horseback all showed their magic weapons one by one, some bent their bows and shot arrows, some threw javelins, and some threw out their throwing axes, and where they passed, a terrible scream suddenly sounded.
Feng Tiancheng's subordinates, who were caught off guard, were suddenly hit by their impact, either by arrows, or by javelins, or by flying axes, screaming and falling at the door of each family.
And the rest of Feng Tiancheng's minions were suddenly frightened, and when they couldn't figure out the situation, these people immediately scattered like birds and beasts, either rushing into the private houses, or running away from the village with their lives.
And this village is very small, Situ Liang led his men to pass through the village in an instant, and took the reins of the horse on the other side of the village, he waved his hand and divided his men into two groups, one went around the village, and the other group returned to the village with Situ Liang turned over.
This time, after they entered the village, they jumped off their horses, one by one with the weapons they took advantage of, and began to search for the remnants of the village house by house.
And Feng Tiancheng's subordinates are just ordinary minions, where are these scouts selected by the Xingtian Army! There was no room for them to fight back, so they were overturned on the snow in the village one by one.
