Chapter 312: Wu Yan Mountain [II]
Chapter 312 Wuyan Mountain [II]
"Do you think it easy?" Liao Chen snorted coldly, beckoned to the others who were still lying in the grass on the slope and observing the Xixia Iron Harriers, and said, "In the river, the traces we left behind cannot be clearly removed for a while, and even if these Xixia Iron Harriers are idiots, it is impossible not to see them." If they don't come down, we'll still ambush a fart? ”
"Then ambush them where they don't expect it!" Wen Erlang said coldly.
"What's the unexpected place?" Liao Chen became interested, and his eyes fell on Wen Erlang's slightly green face. The reason why Wen Erlang, who is only eighteen years old this year, is a member of the horse exploration team of the Beiwei Army is not because of his martial arts, but because of his delicate wit.
"Right here!" Wen Erlang said seriously.
Chen Laosan was stunned, lowered his voice full of shameful laughter, and said: "You doll is really funny, you can see it at a glance, that is, this stream can hide people a little." How could they have something they didn't think of? ”
Wen Erlang said with some resentment: "You haven't listened, how do you know?" ”
Chen Laosan still wanted to refute, but Liao Chen had already glared at Chen Laosan. For Wen Erlang, a baby who has not yet grown up, Chen Laosan can ignore it, but for Liao Chen, although Chen Laosan is not reconciled in his heart, but after a short period of weighing the pros and cons, he still closed his mouth knowingly.
"Ambush on this slope!" Wen Erlang said with a serious face. "Don't look at these Xixia Iron Harriers as if they are very vigilant, but I think the successive victories, how can it not make these Xixia Iron Harriers arrogant? When they got to the creek. What must be thinking about is to let the war horse drink. There won't be much vigilance! ”
But they got to the side. Before you go down the slope, you can see the scene below. Where are our horses hidden? Even if they are hidden, the traces of horse manure and horse hooves left behind cannot be completely eliminated. Wen Erlang, you're right, even if these Western Xia Iron Harriers are arrogant, they are not blind. Basically, they are barbarians with excellent eyesight, condescending, how can they not see these traces? Liao Chen said slowly. Liao Chen's words are not so much a refutation as an inquiry.
Wen Erlang said confidently: "Why hide it? When you are relaxed, you suddenly find that there is a war horse below. That is, if there is an enemy, what is your first reaction? ”
"Do you need to say anything? There must be an enemy, weapons drawn! Chen Laosan couldn't help but be sarcastic.
This time, Liao Chen did not stop Chen Laosan again, but looked at Wen Erlang with interest.
"These Western Xia Iron Harriers won't do that!" Wen Erlang said with certainty, and he didn't know where he came from, but Chen Laosan was frightened by Wen Erlang's tone. I wanted to ridicule the words, but when it came to my mouth, I stopped unconsciously.
Wen Erlang said: "Lian Zhan Lian Jie, the Western Xia Iron Harrier has already become proud. They never imagined that such a Song army would be inserted into such a deep distance, and they would definitely be stunned and lose their minds at first. Of course. The other party is a well-known Xixia Iron Harrier, and it is impossible to lose his mind for too long. I guess it's only two or three breaths in time. But that's enough to kill! So we only have one chance, as long as we succeed, these horses and equipment are ours! ”
"Well, you've got a good plan!" Liao Chen had appreciation in his eyes, and said with a slight chin bow: "With such a short distance, if you want to ensure that you can kill with one hit to the greatest extent, you can use a javelin!" ”
Liao Chen's eyes fell on the two javelins hanging from the saddle, although the javelins were equipped in the Song army, they were not very much equipped, and they had always been only infantry equipment. Because the horseback is very bumpy, it is not impossible to practice throwing the javelin firmly on horseback, but with this time, it is better to practice the bow and arrow.
In fact, it is better to use horse shooting than javelins, which are certainly more lethal, but the number of equipment cannot be too large. An infantry is equipped with five at most, because a heavy javelin weighs eight catties, even an ordinary javelin is five catties, and the weight of five javelins is already equivalent to a set of light iron armor. And he can only use it five times!
And what about the arrows? Generally, light arrows are only one or two or five dollars, medium-sized arrows are only two or two two or three dollars, and heavy arrows are only more than four or two! For example, about seven arrows weigh a pound, while thirty-five arrows weigh as much as an ordinary javelin. Therefore, the javelin, a weapon with a long history, is not very important in the military.
The reason why Zhao Yu let the Beiwei army be equipped was because he reduced the weight of the javelin, which was only less than four catties. The combat effectiveness is reduced, but the javelin is heavier at the end and the end, which will make the javelin stick to the shield, which can make the shield unbalanced and disrupt the opponent's shield formation. This is the biggest reason why Zhao Yu let the Beiwei Army equip the javelin, and he doesn't want it to be of greater use now.
At that moment, Liao Chen thought of it, and immediately ambushed them on the edge of the slope, the weeds could not cover their figures, but this was enough, and the difference between the slope and the flat ground was enough to hide their figures.
Just ready, it didn't take long to hear the deep voice of those Western Xia Iron Harriers, Liao Chen was now even lame in official language, let alone listening to the Western Xia language. Despite this, Liao Chen still felt the pleasure in the language of these Western Xia Iron Harriers. It was as if they were not here to make rounds, but to go on an outing.
"These arrogant guys, huh! Wait a while, when you will suffer! Liao Chen was unhappy, he spit out the grass root that was biting in his mouth, and said with a cold snort.
They didn't care about these things like Liao Chen, they all concentrated and calmed, even Chen Laosan, who had always been arrogant, didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and his lips were tightly pursed.
Wen Erlang was the most nervous, because the plan was proposed by him, and if it failed...... Thinking of this, Bunjiro didn't dare to think about it anymore, and tried to keep his attention to his ears, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the earth, as long as he felt that he was not too nervous.
Although I didn't see the enemy, who was the weakest hand in the horse exploration team of the back army?
By listening to the ground, they already knew how far away the Western Xia Iron Harrier was from them. Maybe it won't be as accurate as the eyes, but that's enough!
The Western Xia Iron Harrier is as relaxed as ever. I don't know if it's because the two sides are getting closer and closer. Or because the Western Xia Iron Harrier is more relaxed. Their voices are louder and more pleasant. From their pronunciation, you can also hear the familiar but helpless words of incompetence, waste, and song dog.
Time passed so slowly at this moment, and Wen Erlang felt that the beads of sweat on his cheeks seemed to turn into lead and iron, and the speed of flow became very slow, very heavy......
No matter how slowly time passed, he was still passing. The neighing of a war horse sounded. It's here! Everyone knows that a fleeting opportunity has come!
The neighing of the war horses undoubtedly meant that the Western Xia Iron Harriers had strangled the war horses, and they had already seen the scene of the stream under the hillside.
Wen Erlang was the first to stand up, and he was still covered with grass clippings, and he had nothing to do with the lonely hero. But at this moment, his thin body, slightly embarrassed figure, but he has the heart of a lonely hero, kill!
Wen Erlang threw the javelin at the Xixia Iron Harrier closest to him, although his tense face was a little nervous that could not be concealed, but at this moment, the javelin thrown by Wen Erlang did not tremble at all. Steady, like a Tomahawk missile. Sensei said that the javelin was bursting at a speed. The distance between the two sides alone is less than two meters.
The Xixia Iron Harrier didn't even have time to change the expression on his face, only to hear a thud, and a bloody arrow flew out of his chest. The javelin has been pierced into the chest of the Xixia Iron Harrier, and the sturdy armor gives people the illusion that it is made of inferior paper at this moment, and the strength of the javelin is even carried by the Xixia Iron Harrier and falls off the war horse.
Liao Chen is even more strong, he was born in Guangnan West Road, and he is undoubtedly more familiar with the use of javelins than Wen Erlang and others. The javelin was in his hand as if it were his limb. The Xixia Iron Harrier who directly aimed at him was shot in the head, and the heavy javelin seemed to be smashed on a watermelon, red and white exploded in an instant, making people feel palpitations involuntarily.
Is it over? No!
Chen Laosan and his companion's javelin were not hit, but Chen Laosan was very strong, and rushed forward the moment before the Xixia Iron Harrier reacted. It's not a fight with the other party, but the other party is wearing thick armor.
Chen Laosan rushed to the side of the opponent's war horse, and stabbed the horse's ass with the dagger that had been prepared a long time ago. At this time, the Xixia Iron Harrier had already come to his senses, but it was too late!
Under the pain of the war horse, it neighed, and the Xixia Iron Harrier only had time to let out a strange cry full of fear and unwillingness. The war horse rushed down the hillside with him, and before he had taken a few steps, the war horse had lost its front hooves, and even the man and the horse rolled down the hillside. There is no need to look at it, Liao Chen also knows that this Xixia Iron Harrier must be dead and cannot die anymore. Don't look at the sprint distance, but Hexi Horse is famous for its explosive power, not to mention that this slope is not short, so if you fall like this, you won't die, Liao Chen will treat the other party as a god.
"It's a pity that Hexi horse!" A soldier of the Beiwei Army couldn't help but say with regret that in the Song army, every war horse is precious. Not to mention the Hexi horses, which have now been banned from being exported to the Northern Song Dynasty in Western Xia, this is no longer something that can be bought with money.
"It's because I'm not good at it!" Chen Laosan is a chaotic person, and he still has the responsibility he should have, and he did not hesitate to stand up and admit his mistakes.
"I can't blame Chen Laosan for this, in fact, I'm also very nervous, just hit the Xixia thief, it's just luck! And no matter what you say, the Xixia Iron Harrier was also killed, it's better than him going back to report the news! Wen Erlang did not fall into the trap at this time, but unexpectedly stood up to speak for Chen Laosan.
Chen Laosan was stunned, and then snorted coldly, his face a little unbearable.
Liao Chen glanced at Chen Laosan, then at Wen Erlang, smiled, and did not express his opinion on this matter. Instead, he said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, immediately pack up the war horses." Taking advantage of the lack of an opening in the Xixia thief's horse circle, we quickly went to investigate. By the way, Wen Erlang, you go and see the Xixia Iron Harrier under the stream, although it stands to reason that he should die and can't die anymore if he falls like this, but it's better to be cautious in everything! And cut the horse meat for today's dinner! ”
"Okay!" Wen Erlang happily agreed, and walked down the slope conveniently.
It didn't take long for Liao Chen and the others to gather their war horses, and their luck behind them was not bad, and they soon saw the camp of the Western Xia army from a distance, but they didn't dare to get too close. The Western Xia army was mostly cavalry, so the closer they were to the camp, the more horses they had, and they dared to take a few looks from afar.
"Alright, let's retreat!" Liao Chen said decisively, he had seen that there were several teams of Western Xia army scouts who seemed to have noticed the land where they were lurking, and if they didn't withdraw, they would be afraid that there would be no chance to withdraw.
The other Tanma of the Weiwei Army also have no opinion, don't look at the Tanma as if he is a lonely hero who goes deep behind enemy lines to investigate the situation, in fact, none of the people who can be Tanma are brave guys. The role of the scouts is not to kill the enemy, but to find out the information, so what they need most is not to be greedy for merit, and to retreat decisively when they find out the information they should have.
Infiltrate the local camp alone, catch an important general of the other side, and take this general back to his camp. This kind of probe will not be liked by the generals, the generals want a steady probe, what if you miss and are caught? Isn't that a recipe for stealing chickens?
Such a thing would not be advocated in the midst of that army's exploration.
When Liao Chen and the others returned, several other exploration horses had already returned, and some of them even greeted Liao Chen and them with a smile. However, more people looked at the eight Hexi horses that Liao Chen brought back with envy and surprise, which turned out to be nine, but because Chen Laosan fell and killed the Xixia Iron Harrier, the nine Hexi horses that were originally in their hands had to unfortunately become the current number.
Without waiting for Liao Chen and them to go to the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Yu had already walked out with an excited face, and when he saw Liao Chen. Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and hammered the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, you Liao Chen, there is really a way, but what about taking a Xixia Iron Harrier?" ”
"It's just slaughtering three Xixia dolls!" Having said that, the smug color on Liao Chen's face could not be concealed.
Zhao Yu didn't have any disgust with Liao Chen's cheap performance, and laughed and said: "Okay, if you say this, you will wipe out the credit of other people, but what good information do you get?" ”
"How about discovering the place where the Western Xia thieves camped? The last general has not lived up to your trust, right? Liao Chen showed a proud expression and puffed out his chest.
Zhao Yu was stunned, mixed with surprise, and said repeatedly: "Okay! Good! Good! ”
"Is there a betrayal of the king's trust? It's simply beyond the trust of this king, go to the big tent of the Chinese army and say it! The expression on Zhao Yu's excited face was extremely rich, and as he spoke, he pulled Liao Chen to the big tent of the Chinese army. (To be continued......)
