Chapter 54: Snooping

Meng Yi followed the sentry quietly into the depths of the forest, groping for more than two miles. A large cowhide tent appeared before him, and not only that, but also many wooden huts made of logs. There were no campfires in the camp, but occasionally one or two loud dog barks could be heard. The situation in front of him made Meng Yi immediately out of a state of confusion.

Look at this, there are at least forty or fifty thousand Donghu people in ambush in the forest, God...... If the army is attacking the valley above. These people suddenly appeared in the rear of the Qin army's formation, do they still have to fight that battle? A fine layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on Meng Yi's spine!

Because the Donghu people had dogs, Meng Yi, the sentry and a few guards could only watch from a distance. When the guards saw this, they were also frightened and stood on the spot, lying on their stomachs like fools at a loss.

"Lord, we only touched it when we heard the dog bark. What now? In less than an hour, the army will be here. If it is ......" the sentry did not dare to say any more, this forest is so big, God knows how many Donghu people are hidden. It is said that this time, the Donghu people launched an entire clan to invade, and there were hundreds of thousands of people.

Meng Yi immediately woke up from his stunned state, and all he had to do now was to flee immediately with his subordinates. He had only 500 men, and if he was discovered by the Donghu people. will be submerged in the sea of Donghu cavalry, and the death must be more ugly than a pig.

But as soon as he withdrew a few steps, there was a crisp "click" behind him. It turned out that a guard accidentally stepped on the trap on the ground, and Meng Yi quickly covered the guard's mouth with a quick hand. The guard's legs were caught in huge traps, bent at odd angles. Meng Yi could feel the "grunt" sound in the guard's mouth. On a cold day, beads of sweat are pouring out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The guards struggled desperately, and the others who reacted also pressed over. crushed the unlucky guy who was struggling desperately under him, and the guards who were covering their mouths and noses struggled even more fiercely. Four or five strong men almost couldn't hold it down!

Everyone's nerves have collapsed to the extreme, and if he is allowed to shout at this time. As long as the Donghu people release the hounds, everyone will die without a place to be buried.

The uninjured leg kept kicking, and the snow on the ground was pushed away, and the dead branches and leaves were piled up. Eventually, the strength of the guards to struggle became smaller and smaller. Until the end, he stood still and straight. Meng Fu felt that his body was starting to chill, and he was so shocked that he withdrew his hand to reveal the white and distorted face of the guard.

Under the silver moon, his eyes widened. The facial features are distorted by great pain, and the mouth grows like a black hole. Before his death, he desperately wanted to breathe a breath of air, but his young master's hand held down his mouth and nose. Ten years ago, when the young master was a child, he used to ride on his neck. Those little hands are fat and tender, and the pink dudu is so cute. Unexpectedly, only ten years later, it was these hands that ended his life.

"Young Master, let's go! The old fish can't live if he breaks his leg, so it's a relief to go like this. The rest of the guards came to see the grieving Meng Yi. Hurry to pull him up, now is not the time to grieve. If the true situation of the Donghu people is not brought back to the army, the Qin army will be greeted with extremely heavy losses.

Meng Yi pulled out his dagger, cut off a lock of hair from his guard, turned around and left. The military situation in the ice and snow is urgent, and you can't leave with the corpse at all. This lock of hair can be regarded as an explanation to his family. They are all old people who have been beaten to death with Meng Fu, and life and death have been seen very lightly.

But as soon as Meng Yi got up, he saw a pair of turquoise eyes looking at him in the forest not far away. Meng Yi, who was frightened by the bow, was so frightened that he almost screamed, and the crossbow arrow in his hand had just been raised.

"Wow......!" A long wolf howl resounded throughout the forest, followed by an overwhelming barking of dogs. When Meng Yi's crossbow bolts penetrated the wolf's skin, the camp of the Donghu people had already exploded into chaos.

Countless hounds barked desperately, and the loud noise made the trees tremble. Soon the voices of the Donghu people rang out, and then Meng Yi saw dozens of hounds frantically rushing towards them.

"Young Master, let's go!" Meng Yi's personal guards were all old retainers who had followed Meng Fu for many years, and this time they went to Meng Wu and Meng Tian to protect the youngest brother. If something went wrong with Meng Yi, there would be no need for them to go back.

The guards drew their bronze swords and rushed towards the hounds. The sentry hesitated, then ran. He was not a retainer of the Meng family, and certainly did not have the courage to fight to the death against dozens of hounds.

The Donghu people hunted in the forest, and the hounds were the most important helpers. Of course, the hunting dogs of the Donghu people first came from domesticated wolves. There are even more daring guys who have been raising wolves since they were young. Although domesticated wolves do not have the bloodlust of wild wolves, they are much more ferocious than dogs.

The wolf that Meng Yi shot to death was a forest wolf that Murong Song had domesticated since he was a child.

The Donghu people have been in ambush in the forest for nearly ten days, and this vast forest has provided good protection for the Donghu people. They are already very familiar with the forest, and the forests in the northwest are similar except for the tree species that are different from those in the northeast.

After hesitating for less than a second, Meng Yi followed the sentry and ran back. Soon there was a scream behind him, first of which was the wailing of a dog. Then there was the heart-rending screams of the guards, and the Donghu Hound was very fierce. Several of the guards killed a hound, and they were pounced on by the fierce hounds. After a frantic bite, they were torn into several pieces.

The blood soaked the snow in an instant, and when Murong Song saw a hound dragging a human leg back, he immediately shouted, "Oops!" "Damn Qin Army spies actually found out here.

Soon, more hounds barked and rushed into the woods.

Meng Yi ran frantically, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The soldiers didn't buy him much time, and the distance of two miles was simply the distance between life and death. The panting sound was terrifyingly loud, and Meng Yi felt that his lungs were very much like a bellows.

Soon the barking of the dog behind him sounded again, and there was also the sound of people. Meng Yi even heard the neighing of the war horse, which made him feel terrible.

The sentinel who fled first couldn't run, and Meng Yi, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, easily overtook him. And quickly left him behind, it doesn't matter if he can't outrun the hound. As long as you outrun this guy, you can buy a little time. After all, if a dog wants to tear a big living person apart, it still needs to waste some time.

"Ah......h Soon the screams of the sentinels resounded through the skies of the woods. (To be continued.) )
