Chapter 12: The Hunter and the Prey

Hammer was well hidden, downwind and upwind of the valley below, and he felt that the scouts of the summer city were like wild beasts, and they could always see clues, otherwise the scouts of the rest of the tribes would not have been killed one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was convinced of the land that Luo Xing said was flowing with milk and honey, because those people's clothes were very beautiful, and the bronze sword he grabbed was also very beautiful, how could he think about wearing clothes if he couldn't eat enough? Before Dawu changed the rules of tribal distribution, the poor wore sheepskin all day long, and then put on all kinds of soft skins.

Brushing aside the grass in front of him and quietly looking down, only nine people cautiously watched the movement around them, as if they were looking for something.

These nine people were different from the previous scouts, not all of them were armed with bronze swords and bows and arrows, but more like people who came out of the military formation.

Two men carried shields and brass swords made of leather and planks, and five men carried spears.

The two men carried bows and arrows on their backs, and the bows were very long, and there was a strange layer of flakes like sheep's horns attached to them, and they were very powerful. Hammer was surprised that the other party's bowstring was not a horsehair and a ponytail, but it was also very tough, it seemed to be a thread that had never been seen before, and there was a smell of stinking burnt hair when burned on fire.

The people around him whispered, "Hammer, come on, there are only nine of them." A few days ago, other tribes were killed by their scouts, and we let Da Wu shine in front of the various leaders last time, and today is another opportunity, lest those people accuse Da Wu of breaking the rules of the grassland and use human heads to shut them up. ”

"I think something is wrong, these people are like the meat we used to catch wolves in winter, and they were deliberately let us see it. Wait a little longer. ”

After hunting on the grassland for many years, Hamer's intuition is very accurate, and the people around him also trust his intuition, after all, he has more than 40 scalp hanging skewers on his body, which is rare even if it is placed in the entire grassland.

Estimated the distance of these people, it was very far, even he couldn't shoot accurately.

However, after waiting for a while, the people below were about to walk out of their sight, but the people he expected to hide had not moved at all.

But he was not in a hurry at all, and carefully looked at the small high slope in the distance, there were still fourteen people hiding there, and if he didn't make a move on his side, they would also make a move, and when the time came, he would know if there was anyone hiding.

"Da Wu has always wanted to know how many people are on the other side, and this time he will find a way to catch a living. We're not in a hurry. ”

He lowered his voice and told the people around him, like wolves on the winter grassland, patiently waiting for the migrating deer herd to make mistakes.

After a while, the fourteen people on the high slope suddenly got up from the grass and divided into two groups, and walked along the two breads not far apart, the grass here was so low that there was no way to approach quietly.

These people also knew that Hammer was not far away, and if there were no ambushers, the heads of these nine people would be their own, and if there were ambushers, Hammer would have killed them.

The two archers below the high slope immediately put the birch shaft on the bow, but did not immediately return the shot.

Their arrows are all heavy and heavy, not suitable for such long distances. The leader of the nine men was not Ishiyama, but an archer drawn from the new army, and Ishiyama was still hiding in the distance, and they used this method to move from one mile to another, luring each other to appear.

The leader had a pottery whistle around his neck, and he didn't know where the stone mountain was hidden, and he might not even be able to observe the situation here, but he believed that as long as he blew the whistle, the stone mountain would definitely come out.

"This is trying to catch us."

The leader rubbed the rough antler wrench, the thumb and index finger were between the feather arrows, and the bow was not immediately pulled, and it was too laborious to pull the bow.

The fourteen people on the opposite side probably knew that the bow of the Xia Cheng scout shot farther than theirs, so they ran very fast, and when they were close to about fifty paces, the leader pulled the silk bowstring, and the heavy arrow was aimed at the person on the opposite side, and the moment the bow was opened, the longer the bow was drawn, the more the arm trembled, and the archers in the new army were strictly forbidden to aim for a long time.

The person on the opposite side almost subconsciously dodged, and the heavy arrow flew past his side, and the distance of fifty steps was not something that everyone could shoot, but it also shocked the person into a cold sweat, and his bow would never have such great strength at such a distance.

The moment the feather arrow flew out, the pupils of Hammer, who was hiding in the distance, shrank suddenly, although he didn't shoot, but the posture of the person pulling the bow and shooting the arrow was very similar to him, how many years of war did he have to have the ability to cast it instantly, and the person below was very young, but he had a little meaning.

"Nine people see fourteen people and don't run, if there is no ambush in the distance, it's like a wolf doesn't eat meat. Look at it. ”

Hammer sneered and continued to watch the movement below, his hand touching the snatched bronze sword, waiting for the hidden person to appear.

At the bottom of the high slope, the leading new army archer missed an arrow, and immediately twisted another arrow, the distance of forty paces was the official engagement distance of the scouts, and if it was too far to shoot, not to mention, it was unlucky to shoot and not even penetrate the skin.

The sword and shield men of the nine men immediately blocked the leather wooden shield in front of them, and the three spearmen stood in a row, the gesmen stood on the sides, and the archers returned the fire on the outermost side.

The opposite side wanted to catch someone and kill someone, but four people stopped to draw their bows while running, and the rest of the people rushed forward, and no one could shoot accurately while running.

The new army archers leading on the left took a deep breath, and instead of looking at the four enemies who were about to draw their bows and shoot back, they aimed at the people who were already close to rushing over with a few skins on their bodies.

Airplanes......

Feathered arrows flew out, and heavy stone arrows struck a man in the chest, who staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

The feathered arrows on the opposite side also flew over, and two of them were shot at the leather shield, one missed, and the other hit the left hand of the hand.

When the four men finished shooting the arrow, they immediately wanted to separate from the left and right, wanting to attack from the flanks and back, and the two new archers ignored them, straddled behind the spearmen and sword and shield men, and drew their bows again to shoot only at the enemy who was wounded by the wounded enemy.

Two arrows in the battle, shooting and killing four people on the opposite side, such a close distance is exactly the same as the usual training, and the archers on the opposite side also shot Ge and an archer.

The leading archer stood on the left, took the spear of the hand, and with a shout, seven men rushed out at the same time with a shout.

The three spearmen held their spears and followed closely behind the sword and shield soldiers, and the people on the opposite side looked at the spears and subconsciously avoided them, but when they dodged forward, the sword and shield soldiers would draw their short swords and stab, and if they hesitated, they would be stabbed by the spears.

The steppe tribe rushed to the front with a stone axe to separate the spears that were pierced, knowing that those sword and shield soldiers were not easy to provoke, flashed to the left, wanting to go around to the side, and attract the spearmen to stab themselves, so that the front could break through the opening.

But the spearman didn't pay any attention to him, as if he could only see the man in front of him, who had just flashed to the side, and a short spear with the tip of the spear swung out and hooked him to the neck.

He is also a person who has fought many battles, and his head took a step back without even thinking about it, but as soon as he retreated, he vacated his partner around him, and swept short, just hooking one person's arm, pulling back, and suddenly a long wound appeared.

The two sword and shield soldiers at the front stabbed to death two people who squeezed in through the gap in the spear, and in just a moment's effort, three people were already lying on the ground, plus the four who had been shot before, almost half of the people on the opposite side were left in a wheezing moment.

The living people were all squeezed to both sides, and for a while they couldn't believe it, it was the first time they had fought with the infantry of Xia City, although the white horses were killing on the grassland, they only felt that the other party was lucky to only meet a small settlement and women and children, these people never thought that this group of strange people was so powerful.

Seeing that there was no enemy left in front of him, the leading archer shouted: "Points! ”

The two sword and shield soldiers immediately separated, facing the enemy who was squeezed away and retreating on both sides, the spearmen and soldiers were divided into two, the left and right sides turned at the same time, and the three people stood in a row, the sword and shield soldiers were on both sides, and the spearmen were in the middle, and the extra spearmen were crowded in the ranks on the right, shouting and rushing towards the enemy who was originally squeezed to both sides and was now in front.

The enemy went around in a circle, and they just had to turn around as they were trained.

All this happened in a flash of light, and the seven surviving people had no intention of fighting again, so they turned around and fled.

Hammer's eyes widened when he was hiding in the distance, and so did the clansmen next to him, they had heard Luoxing say that these people were very strange in fighting, but they never expected it to be so weird.

To talk about it, it seems that everyone is not very good, except for the one who seems to have some ability in archery, and the rest of the people are placed in the grassland in the tribal gathering, it seems that they are the characters who are thrown to the ground and cause everyone to laugh, how can it be so simple to kill people?

Those people were also good hands of the rest of the tribe, but the battle just now was like a sheep tied up to be slaughtered.

Hammer swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said: "No wonder this group of people don't run, don't say if there are others in ambush, these nine people don't take fourteen people in their eyes at all." ”

Bait can catch fish, but if the line is not strong enough, the fish can burp after eating the bait and leave......

The people around him asked timidly, "Hammer, are we still going out?" ”

"Don't go out! I always felt like there must be someone hiding...... We have to tell the Dawu chieftain how these people fight...... If there are four or five hundred such people, this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

Hammer looked worriedly at the group of people below who stopped chasing after a few steps, and was shocked in his heart, thinking that fourteen people were enough to force out those who were hiding, but he didn't expect that people didn't care at all.

He had followed Dawu to many villages, but it was the first time he had seen such a person, and a dark cloud passed through his heart...... Da Wu originally wanted to take this opportunity to show the bravery of his tribe, but now it seems that he is afraid to tell the leader of Da Wu not to rush too far ahead, and let other tribes try it first.

I lay there in horror for a long time, watching the people below cut off their heads on the ground, and after waiting for a long time, I finally heard a whistle, and a few moments later several people rushed out of the woods in the distance, sitting next to the corpses and saying things that Hammer did not understand.

Hammer secretly wiped his sweat, there are more than 20 good players around him, but if the people below are all the same as before, I am afraid that my own people will also give people heads.

The few people next to him didn't even dare to breathe, secretly admiring Hamer's intuition, which saved their lives.

Brave as Hamer, there was a trace of fear at this time, and the two stone mountains finally thought that they had missed the first meeting with fear.

"Let's go back when they're gone, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out how many people are on the other side."

"Will they taunt us like rabbits?"

"Taunting? It's good to say that we also killed a few the day before yesterday, which is much stronger than other tribes. If they are not convinced, just let their people come. ”

Hammer said angrily, gritted his teeth, and said: "This time all the tribes are here, whoever loves to go in front of them, what is the place where milk and honey are everywhere, the clansmen are dead, what's the use of wanting this place?" ”

"I have to go back and tell Da Wu that you must not get ahead of ......" (To be continued.) )
