Chapter 226: The Battle of the Scouts
In the winter wilderness, there are not many traces of life, and now, it is the cold that dominates this troubled land. The weeds on the ground were yellow and covered with frost. The cold wind continued to pass, radiating a strong chill. Although there was the sun, there was still a thin layer of frost on the ground, and there were knee-high weeds everywhere in sight, shivering with the cold wind.
Affected by the cold, the surrounding weeds all looked a little wilted, and their heads drooped listlessly. From time to time, he swayed his body, and under the blowing of the cold wind, he whined and whined, making the vast field seem more peaceful.
The sound of horses' hooves shook the icy earth, and a fast horse came to meet him, rolling up a bitter cold wind and bringing up a thin layer of earth. Suddenly, behind the grass, a black war horse and a black knight stood majestically, dominating this empty area in an instant. The knight on horseback looked fierce. The eyes are shining, fully armed, and horizontal knives, bows and arrows can be caught at hand.
Zhang Man touched the mane on the black horse's head with satisfaction, waiting for the arrival of the other companions. He is a soldier of the second outpost of the Nufeng Battalion, that is, a subordinate of Wending. Perhaps it is the commander who influences the overall image and style of the team, and the soldiers of the second post are the same as Wending, who can fight and are very brave.
The cavalry and probe horses of the Tatar army went out of the city, in order to clear the eyes of these Tatar troops. The knights of the Furious Blade Battalion also appeared and wanted to fight them. The battle between the scouts is absolutely calm and cruel, and the fighters who can serve as scouts are very comprehensive in their skills and tactics, and their psychological qualities are also excellent, and their individual combat abilities are all top-notch. Although the Fury Blade Battalion is not a professional scout team, it is definitely no worse than the scouts.
Zhang Man cautiously observed the movements around him, while listening to the voices coming from behind. After a while, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, followed by a jujube red war horse, and the knight on horseback was wearing a knight in the uniform of the Yan Army, but it was his partner friend Li Dian who came up.
Next to them, a dense line of horseshoe prints can be clearly seen, and it seems that at least six war horses have passed here, but the horseshoe prints are a little blurry, and they cannot be distinguished in a short time.
"Keep chasing! Let's go ahead of them and see what happens! Li Dian said in a deep voice.
Zhang Man nodded, and the two of them quickly rushed towards the south along the horses' hoof prints on the ground.
The two followed the horseshoe prints and galloped wildly, and after running for more than half an hour, Li Dian suddenly changed the route of his advance, went around the field next to him, and continued to run for half an hour, and suddenly raised his palm, and at the same time quietly stopped the war horse. Zhang Man immediately stopped his horse, and at the same time took off his longbow and waited for the battle.
It turned out that Li Dian had heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the west. Li Dian made a "six" gesture towards Zhang Man, indicating that there were six people. Zhang Man nodded, quickly jumped off the horse, drew his horizontal knife, and his whole body lurked in the grass.
Li Dian also jumped off his horse and drew his horizontal knife. The two quietly infiltrated along the grass, and sure enough, after walking for a while, they climbed a small high ground, and saw the shadows of eight horses appearing in the distant field, and they were spreading their legs and galloping towards this side.
After the two arrived at the front, they saw the terrain, and then dismounted and waited for the arrival of the target.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and the six horses all passed through the grassy slope in the middle, forming a straight line with each other. Li Dian rode out of the oblique spur, and the swishing was an arrow.
"Whoosh!"
"Poof!"
Two crisp sounds, the cavalry of the Swift Army at the head was hit by an arrow on the side. One fell off the horse's back, and then was stepped on by the horses of his companions behind him, and let out a terrible cry, and after rolling on the ground several times in a row, he would never move again.
"Woo Woo ......"
It was also two crisp sounds, and Zhang Man raised his hand to be two arrows, which was his ability to fire two arrows quickly. An arrow hits a person in the throat, and an arrow hits the opponent in the chest. The man who immediately hit him in the throat died on the spot, and the other man also fell off his horse, and was silent, presumably either killed or knocked unconscious.
The cavalry who was hit by the arrow on this side had just fallen to the ground, and Li Dian had already slapped his horse to kill it, and he raised his hand and shot another arrow, and with a whoosh, another cavalryman fell to the ground, but he simply fell to the grass slope. They were suddenly attacked, and the cavalryman had already subconsciously wanted to dodge, pulling the reins of his horse and preparing to turn the corner, however, he still could not dodge and was shot in the chest.
The horses on both sides were very fast, and after the six cavalrymen who were ambushed died, four of them died, but the remaining two were not slow to react, one rushed directly towards Zhang Man, raised the saber in his hand, and slashed at Zhang Man's head.
"Dang!"
Zhang Man blocked the opponent's knife, but his body was also slashed by the opponent's saber and sat on the ground, rolled directly on the ground, and then avoided the opponent's another knife.
"Whew!"
Li Dian slapped his horse and shot an arrow again.
The distance between the two sides was very close, and the cavalry was coming towards him again, and the arrows that roared away were particularly lethal.
The cavalry of the Warrior Army screamed miserably, hung upside down under the horse, and was dragged by the war horse to continue to move forward fiercely, bringing up a trail of blood. Seeing the war horse galloping away, Zhang Man hurriedly turned over his horse and hurriedly chased after him. War horses, this is a scarce material for the Fire Lin Army. Although Yanzhou Mansion has a horse farm from Qiyun, it is still scarce.
The remaining cavalry turned around and ran, and Li Dian chased after him without hesitation, bent his bow and arrow, and shot a vicious arrow. The last cavalry also grunted and rolled off their horses.
Li Dian led the opponent's war horses, and at the same time gathered the remaining four war horses, although those war horses ran away. But Li Dian persisted in calling, and constantly changed the way of calling, and actually called all of them back. Soon after, the war horse also brought back the galloping war horse. Killing six people on the other side and snatching six more horses is definitely something to celebrate. There will be no one too much of this kind of war material.
The sky is getting darker, the winter sun has already set, and I don't know where to hide. A slight cold wind blew, making people shiver. The cold of winter is always so tiresome and painful.
In the morning, several cavalry and scout horses were killed from Anyuan County, and wandered back and forth outside and around various towns and villages, so that the pedestrians who occasionally saw them could not avoid them, and in some towns, the people hid in their homes early. The brutality of the Evil Army was well known at that time, and since it was powerless to resist, it was better to hide honestly.
Watching a cavalryman of the Yan Army flash past the entrance of the village, hiding in his home, watching from the hole in the papier-mâché window, Li Laoshi secretly scolded: "Damn the Yan Army, sooner or later you will be killed by the Yan Army......
"Boom ......" "Plop"
Two sharp sounds, in Li Laoshi's eyes, a black light flew out from the corner not far away, penetrated into the throat of the cavalry of the Yan Army, and killed it. The cavalry of the Warrior Army shook for a moment, as if they were about to grasp something with both hands, but finally fell weakly.
"Uh...... Has what I said come true? Li honestly swallowed his saliva and whispered to himself. Suddenly, he noticed that a black shadow appeared from the corner of the neighbor's wall not far away, and several of them jumped up, jumped on the horses of the cavalry of the Evil Army, and left like lightning. Subsequently, several cavalry of the Yan Army who rushed to hear the news chased after them.
"Yan Jun? Definitely! Damn the Evil Army, what a retribution! Li honestly said secretly.
In the evening, night gradually fell, and the sky and earth were confused, revealing a bone-chilling cold.
It was cold, it was too cold, and Han Jin felt as if his blood had coagulated. The wisps of moisture slowly penetrated from under the armor, and the armor was cold to the bone. The scalp is numb, the hands and feet are stiff, and the skin is purple, this is the situation that Han Jin is in now. He had never felt so cold in winter, and perhaps today was his time of death.
Han Jin held the dagger issued by the guard battalion, lying on his stomach and gasping slightly, the dagger was very cold to the touch, colder than the cold earth. A drop of blood oozed from his back and then slid silently to the ground. He was hit by an arrow, and he had four or five arrows stuck in his back, all of which were given by the Evil Army. But in the same way, he had also killed four pursuers, and in the beginning, today's operation, he had already killed eight cavalrymen of the Warrior Army.
After climbing a few steps, he paused for a moment and recovered his body. Han Jin felt that the strength in his body was passing little by little, and he also felt that he was getting colder and colder, and his body was getting stiffer and stiffer.
"Damn the Baddamn Warriors...... Lao Tzu was enough...... "killed eight people, four of whom were pursuers, but again, the price he paid for this was: he was stabbed in the right leg and lost consciousness; He was hit by five arrows in his back and was dying. He took the horse and ran, and finally ran to the woods around the town, and fell off his horse, and as for the war horse that he had taken from the army, he no longer knew where he had gone. The three people who acted with him had already been killed when they first engaged the cavalry of the Evil Army, and among the four, he was the only one left.
It was supposed to be the time when the birds were returning to their nests, but there was no sound in the forest, and it was unusually quiet. Depressed and breathless. Life in the warrior land was always full of killing, full of tension, and he had never enjoyed such a peaceful moment. In barracks, such tranquility usually means the arrival of tense battles.
Quiet.
Quiescence.
It seems that there is no trace of the Evil Army around.
"I don't know if the war horse of the Indigo Army will reveal its location, damn it, I can't move, can I kill it! I'm still thinking about continuing to fight the Warriors. Han Jin cheered himself up as he thought about moving ahead.
Time is slowly flowing, and life is slowly draining away. Han Jin exhausted and tried to support the injured right leg, and found that the right leg had completely lost sensation, although the wound on the thigh had been bandaged, but because of the lack of sufficient medicine, it could only barely stop the bleeding, as for the rest, it was impossible to force it at all. This is still explained by Zhao Xun, a simple bandaging method, which can stop bleeding in time, so as not to cause death due to bleeding.
As his consciousness began to blur, a slight neighing of horses suddenly sounded in the woods.
"Who is it? Could it be the Warriors? Han Jin clenched the dagger in his hand, not only to kill the enemy, but also to kill himself, because he didn't want to be a prisoner.
Gradually, a white war horse appeared in Han Jin's field of vision, and after waiting for a while, Han Jin let go of his worries. This war horse is the war horse that he took from the Yan Army, but I don't know why it came back.
Calling softly to the war horse, the white war horse slowly galloped to Han Jin's body, bowing his head and adding a few strokes to Han Jin's face. Perhaps, he saw Han Jin as his new master. Han Jin exerted a lot of strength, and finally climbed on the back of the war horse, and then cautiously ran towards the north.
In the end, Han Jin was saved, and this batch of war horses that he called Bai Xue had always been his treasures, because he felt that this war horse had saved his life!
The cavalry and horses of the two armies were still fighting fiercely with each other in a radius of more than ten miles. It's just that the cavalry of the Yan Army has always regarded the other party as the scout team of the Yan Army in Pingzhou Mansion. Of course, this is also what Zhao Mang and others want to see.
