Chapter 110: Night Capture of the Mountain Stream
The mountains shrouded in night are vast and far-reaching.
There was a little fire on the hill, and when you got closer, you could hear the voices of the soldiers under Gongsun Xu's command.
Ma Fei led twenty lightly armed Yuan soldiers to lurk in the forest.
Zhang He never thought of attacking the enemy with a small number of elites, and there were no night clothes in the army.
More than 20 people lurking in the woods were covered in charcoal ash, and their faces were smeared with black marks.
The wind shuttling through the forest blows the leaves, and the shaking leaves rub against each other, making a soft "rustle" sound.
The one who led the way for them was the scout who reported to Yuan Xu.
He used to draw water from streams during the day and was familiar with the terrain.
Cutting off the flow of water is more labor-intensive than poisoning, and the risk of exposure is also greater.
Yuan Xu didn't think about poisoning at all.
The stream flows, and any poison is thrown, and it will soon be washed away, and it is simply impossible to inflict any damage on the enemy troops.
Even if the poison is not washed away, the fish in the water will never be unharmed!
Dead fish went down the river, no matter how stupid Gongsun Xu was, it was impossible to imagine that the stream water was undrinkable!
Dormant in the woods, Ma Fei quietly observed the surrounding environment.
Born as a bandit, he can give full play to his advantages in jungle combat!
Yuan Xu sent him out of this consideration.
Along the creek, every once in a while several enemy troops would pass by.
Gongsun Xu attaches great importance to the water source, and deliberately placed soldiers to patrol along the stream!
The first thing to solve is these patrols!
The sound of footsteps stepping on thick fallen leaves came into Ma Fei's ears.
He knew that there was a group of enemy troops patrolling the stream.
After dormant for more than half an hour, he had already estimated that there were three enemy troops patrolling along the stream.
Each team has five people, and the interval is half a column of incense......
beckoned, Ma Feimao approached the stream lightly.
Several Yuan soldiers with sharp short blades followed closely behind him.
The footsteps were getting closer, and they could already hear the enemy talking to each other.
Holding their breath, they hid their tracks through the trees, and their eyes stared at the stream without blinking.
Five figures appeared in the night.
Several enemy soldiers whispered to each other and walked past them.
Beckoning behind him, Ma Fei strode out, followed closely by several Yuan Jun.
Hearing the movement on the side, the five enemy soldiers hurriedly turned their heads!
It's too close!
Before they could even see whether it was a man or a beast that rushed out, they were thrown to the ground by Ma Fei and others.
Gragging an enemy bun, Ma Fei rested the short blade on his throat and slashed it hard......
At the same time as him, several Yuan troops had also dealt with the defeated enemy.
Dragging the corpse, they quickly burrowed back into the woods.
Tranquility has been restored by the stream!
With the first experience, they quickly tackled the second team of people.
Ten dead bodies lay behind them, lurking in the woods by the stream, and everyone waited quietly for the third group of enemy troops to arrive.
With the faint sound of footsteps, the last group of enemy troops appeared in their sight.
The crouching Yuan Jun owed a debt and only waited for Ma Fei to give the order.
At the critical moment, the enemy army actually stopped.
Ma Fei hurriedly stopped Yuan Jun, who was ready to go, and watched with bated breath at the five figures by the stream.
The captain of the enemy army seemed to notice something, and crouched down by the stream.
What alerted him was the faint smell of blood in the air.
The bloody smell was very light, and he still smelled it faintly with a sensitive nose.
Touching the ground, he touched a gooey mass.
I leaned over the tip of my nose and sniffed it......
It's blood!
Suddenly startled, he drew his long sword!
Seeing the captain draw his sword, the four soldiers also leveled their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
There was nothing nearby, except for the dark woods, and not even a single bird that was startled!
The enemy found the blood remaining from the corpse, clenched the short sword, and Ma Fei's palms were dripping with sweat.
Gongsun continued to be stationed not far from here, and as soon as they sent the signal, more enemy troops would immediately come to their aid.
Whether they can go down the mountain alive is a trivial matter, and it ruined Yuan Xu's plan......
Ma Fei didn't dare to think about it!
The atmosphere was too tense, and Yuan Jun behind him subconsciously moved his body.
The footboard grinds against the ground with a soft, barely audible sound.
In the quiet of the night, only the sound of the stream, this soft sound was unusually harsh.
The enemy captain jerked his face in the direction in which they were hiding.
He didn't shout, there were many wild beasts in the woods, maybe the sound was made by wild beasts......
The blood stains on the ground were not clear whether they were human or beast.
If the wrong alarm is transmitted, Gongsun will not be spared!
You have to find out if there is any danger before you can report it to the general!
Wu Chang's mentality happened to give Ma Fei and others a chance!
Gently pressing his hand behind him twice, Ma Fei motioned to the soldiers to calm down.
Five enemy troops cautiously approached them.
It was too dark, and it was in the forest, Ma Fei and the others were only more than ten steps away from them, but they couldn't find it at all.
Staring at the approaching enemy troops, Ma Fei felt that he could even hear his own heartbeat.
It's close! It's close! Getting closer!
Hiding behind a tree, he did not give the order to kill him immediately.
Twenty Yuan Jun, under the cover of the big tree, held the short sword and did not dare to take a breath.
The darkness gave them the best cover, and five enemy soldiers walked past them without noticing.
One of the enemy was walking, stumbling over a large mass.
He staggered two steps forward, but before he could stand firmly, he stepped on another large lump of soft things, slipped under his feet, and fell to the ground.
Pressing what tripped him, he was taken aback.
By his touch, he felt that it was a man, a dead man!
Before he could scream, a sharp dagger slashed through his throat.
Blood flew up, and he made two strange "gurgling" noises in his throat, and planted his head on the soft fallen leaves.
Defeating the last group of enemy troops, Ma Fei led twenty Yuan troops to the source of the creek as fast as possible.
At the foot of the hill, Zhu Gongdao and Ma Yi led more than 100 Yuan troops, who were anxiously waiting.
Ma Fei has been up the mountain for two hours, and there is still no movement.
Rubbing his fists, Ma Yi was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth.
"Maybe stop a little!" Dizzy by his eyes, Zhu Gongdao said angrily: "Your uncle is steady, and he will definitely be able to accomplish this." What are you walking back and forth? ”
"Uncle has been up the mountain for two hours!" Ma Yi rubbed his hands and said, "Is it possible to be anxious in your heart? ”
"When will Childe act?" Zhu Gongdao glared at him: "Wait!?" ”
Rolling his eyes at him, Ma Yi didn't say anything more.
followed Yuan Xu in Shangcai, and Ma Yi really didn't see him go wrong.
The enemy's strength is strong, he can still defeat the strong, Gongsun Xu is just doing the battle of trapped beasts, how can he have branches?
