Chapter Forty-Seven: The Dragon
It can be said that the obscure surname in the sky, the little crescent, saved the life of the Great Qin scout.
Although the copper needles that suddenly shot out from the shadows were prepared, it was clear that the extremely low visibility of the dense forest greatly hindered the accuracy of these copper needles. Therefore, the more than ten copper needles stained with poison that came in this attack only only shot three scout soldiers, except for the Great Qin scouts who were poisoned and died first.
Although the copper needles are as thin as a cow's hair, each one is rubbed with a poisonous poison that seals the throat with blood. Therefore, the other three Great Qin scouts who were shot by the copper needle were soon poisoned and died one after another, just like the first Great Qin scout who fell to the ground and died.
More than ten bare-chested black shadows appeared around the remaining four Great Qin scouts, and they pounced on them with a thick murderous aura.
After previous inspections, the Great Qin scouts already knew that these dark-skinned, tattooed, sturdy bare-chested men were none other than the Baiyue barbarians of Chu. Only these Baiyue barbarians, who have been fighting with all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts for many years, and who live in the poisonous swamp miasma, will be so fierce and not afraid of death.
The sudden attack and the death of the four robes made the remaining Great Qin scouts calm down immediately after a short period of panic, and looking at the more than ten Baiyue barbarians slaughtered around, the four Great Qin scouts clenched the short swords in their hands and met them silently.
The remaining four Great Qin scouts did not directly rush to kill as they had previously hunted the first wave of Baiyue Barbarians, and they formed a diamond-shaped battle formation with a clear disadvantage in numbers, rolling towards the front.
There were only three Baiyue barbarians in front, and behind these three barbarians was the depths of the dense forest, and the camp of the king's army was ten miles away from this dense forest.
The Great Qin scouts were obviously much more familiar with the terrain than these Chu barbarians who lived south of the Huai River and even south of the Yangtze River all the year round, and they also knew better how many Great Qin scouts were waiting to enter this dense forest in this dense forest.
Maybe at this moment, there are already Great Qin scouts who heard the movement and are on their way.
Looking at the four Great Qin scouts who were like a violent wind sweeping over, the three Baiyue barbarians standing in front of them did not dodge at all, and one of the big men in front raised the thick three-headed fishing fork in his hand and stabbed at the Great Qin scout who was in the position of the arrow.
The other two elite men were also holding fishing forks in their hands, and they attacked the two Great Qin scouts on the left and right behind the Great Qin scouts at the arrow position.
The fishing fork-shaped weapon in the hands of the Baiyue Barbarians was much longer than the short sword equipped by the Great Qin scouts. As the saying goes, "one inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous", especially in such a small-scale fight, it is necessary to take a lot of advantage.
The short sword of the Great Qin scout has not yet touched these Baiyue barbarians, and it is estimated that everyone will have three more big holes in their bodies.
The Great Qin scout, who was used as an arrow first, looked at the fishing fork that was about to stab at him, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his words.
"Kill!"
This Great Qin scout burst out! With this killing, he twisted his body suddenly, avoiding the vital point in his chest, and slammed into the stabbing fishing fork with a faster speed.
A dazzling light appeared in the eyes of the Baiyue Barbarian, and the Baiyue Barbarian, whose face had changed greatly, was in no hurry to withdraw and dodge.
"Poof!" "Click!"
A muffled sound, a crunch sound!
A huge head soared into the sky, and hot blood spurted out from the chest of the headless Baiyue Barbarian, and when the head poured from the top of the head of this Great Qin scout, it immediately made him look like a powerful ghost.
This Great Qin scout, who still had a long fishing fork in his body, cut off his head cleanly in a manner similar to self-mutilation and bearing the Baiyue Barbarian Fishing Fork, and he also had three more holes in his body.
Baiyue Barbarian's frightened head slammed to the ground and rolled twice.
The two Great Qin scouts who followed closely behind this Great Qin scout, after hearing his "kill", also took exactly the same action. Two more pillars of blood erupted.
In a few breaths, the three Great Qin scouts who rushed to the front used self-harm to kill all the three Baiyue barbarians who were blocking the way on the spot, and at this moment, the three headless bodies of the Baiyue barbarians could fall to the ground.
Killed three Baiyue barbarians, four Great Qin scouts were seriously injured and three were seriously injured, and only the last Great Qin scout was left intact at present.
Everything happens between the lights and the fire.
The fierce and violent combat style of the Great Qin scouts made the remaining ** Baiyue barbarians who were slaughtered around them stagnate!
But at this moment, the four Great Qin scouts have given up the idea of escaping, and three of them are seriously injured, and they can only die faster if they escape! Taking advantage of the Baiyue Barbarian's stunned effort, he used the intact Daqin Scout as an arrow, and rushed straight to the two Baiyue Barbarians who were closest to him.
For death, the Great Qin soldiers have never been afraid!
It's still a fight for life!
After all, the Baiyue Barbarians were fierce and abnormal, and after killing the two Baiyue Barbarians again, the four Great Qin Scouts were all killed! However, the fierce fighting style of the Great Qin scouts made the fierce Baiyue barbarians feel slightly frightened.
Because the Great Qin scouts are not only ruthless to the enemy, but also to themselves!
After the Baiyue barbarians killed all the Great Qin scouts, they did not choose to continue to go deep into the dense forest to get close to Wang Li, nor did they pick up the corpses of the more than ten Baiyue barbarians who died, but immediately turned around and ran on the way to and fro.
Obviously, the battle with the Great Qin scouts had made them give up continuing to explore the reality of the Qin army by this route.
Although Baiyue Barbarian is fierce and abnormal, he is not a fool, and he encountered a wave of Great Qin's scouts when he went deep into the dense forest, and if he continued to go deeper, he was afraid that he would not be able to go far before the whole army would be annihilated.
What's more, the sound of the fight just now was not covered by anyone, and I am afraid that the rest of the Great Qin scouts who heard the sound of the fight were already on their way.
In the previous battle, neither the Great Qin Scouts nor the Baiyue Barbarians found that in a bush less than twenty steps away from them, more than ten pairs of eyes had been watching the battle between the two of them.
These dozen or so black shadows were the people who had rushed to hear the movement of the birds, and they were originally on the other side of the woods three miles away. To be precise, these dozen or so black shadows should be Xiang Yu's temporary scout soldiers.
Looking at the remaining six Baiyue barbarians who hurriedly returned along the original path, the more than ten black shadows hiding in the bushes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the tragic battle just now made Xiang Yu, who had never seen blood now, and was already an elite cavalryman, chill in his heart!
"Retreat!"
A low cry rang out from the bushes.
Hearing this voice, the hearts of the remaining dozen or so black shadows that had been carrying them all along finally let go. Like the six Baiyue barbarians, Xiang Yu's dozen or so scouts also slowly began to return along the same path.
In the less than ten black shadows left the tea time, more than twenty Great Qin scouts appeared in the place where they had just fought.
Looking at the corpses of more than 20 Baiyue barbarians who fell to the ground and died, and the corpses of the other ten Daqin scouts who died miserably, these more than 20 Daqin scouts probed and immediately chased after the line that Baiyue barbarians had just withdrawn.
An hour later, Xiang Yu's dozen or so temporary scouts rushed to the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River and appeared in front of a field of reeds.
"Lord Captain, shall I just go back like this?" A man in black whispered to a strong man standing at the front, who was nearly nine feet tall.
"Hmm!"
"But how can we ...... to the Major General?"
"This matter will be clear to the young general, don't worry!" The strong man interrupted the man in black.
Long And, the first fierce general under Xiang Yu in history, grew up with Xiang Yu, and can be said to be a "childhood sweetheart". Long He was finally killed by Han Xin's design, and drowned Xiang Yu's last hundred or ten thousand elites in a big flood!
Long and these more than ten people were the temporary scouts sent by Xiang Yu to investigate the reality of the Qin army after receiving Xiang Liang's order! As a person who has played with Xiang Yu since childhood, Long He is obviously Xiang Yu's real confidant.
And this time the exploration of the Qin army is extremely important, so Xiang Yu sent his confidant and brother Long He out. Only by the dragon and himself can Xiang Yu really rest assured.
On the north bank of the Huai River, Wang Li basically confiscated all the ferries, and the same was true for Yingbu on the south bank. Therefore, Long Ji and the others rode a horse and galloped downstream for nearly thirty miles before they found a small boat and crossed the Huai River while it was dark!
Although the light was a little dim in the dark just now, Long Ji still discovered the identities of the two parties who were fighting.
The identities of the two parties are very recognizable, the black armor of the Qin army, the unique skin color and tattoos of the Baiyue barbarians, and the weapons!
Because he didn't know why the Baiyue barbarians ran to the south bank of the Huai River to confront the Qin army, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe, Long He stopped his subordinates' suggestion to fish in troubled waters, and planned to wait until the Qin army scouts and Baiyue barbarians finished fighting, and then continue to go deeper, through the dense forest to complete Xiang Yu's order to explore the Qin army's hypocrisy.
However, the combat power of the Baiyue barbarians and the Qin army scouts greatly exceeded Long Ji's expectations, and the Baiyue barbarians hurriedly retreated regardless of the corpses of the clansmen after killing all the Qin army scouts, making Long He, who originally wanted to continue to go deeper through the dense forest to explore the Qin army's camp, feel a trace of danger.
Without the slightest hesitation, Long He decisively gave up the idea of delving deeper into the reality of the Qin army, and chose to withdraw from the dense forest.
The appearance of Baiyue Barbarian was an accident, but this accident made Long He think of another way to know the reality of the Qin army.
The fight between the Baiyue barbarians and the Qin army scouts just now was obviously not the first time, otherwise the Qin army would not have laid so many sentry and secret sentry in this dense forest. And the Baiyue barbarians can be regarded as Chu people, and it is obviously much easier to get the reality of the Qin army from their mouths than to venture deep into the dense forest.
What's more, even if this Baiyue barbarian was an enemy, it was obviously much easier to get information from them than the well-equipped and well-trained Qin army.
The most important thing is that Baiyue barbarians appeared on the north bank of the Huai River, which made Long He immediately think of Xiang Yu's "Fanjun" Wu Rui raising troops against Qin, could it be that Wu Rui's army also arrived near Shouchun?
If Wu Rui's army, which I don't know whether it was friend or foe, really arrived in Shouchun, then Wu Rui's army, which was also on the south bank, was obviously more threatening to the Xiang clan than the Qin army that was still on the north bank of the Huai River
