Chapter 342 Assault and Fighting
(PS: Second update, see if you can make up a chapter tomorrow.) Good night~. ~)
Calculating the time, according to the information sent back by Tiqi, the prince and his entourage will probably arrive in Chuzhou City in three days. And Chuzhou City has begun martial law in the whole city, and is ready to meet all the matters.
Xie Shence naturally still lives in Langya Mountain, and all the matters from the prince to Chuzhou City, except for safety, the rest such as welcoming and accompanying him have nothing to do with him, so he doesn't care.
And that night, Xie Shence received a secret report from Tiqi that the hiding place commanded by the Erli people had been found - in the small canyon thirty miles east of the city.
Xie Shence was very familiar with the small canyon, which was a military garrison abandoned by the Huai army, and it was already deserted when Xie Shence was a child. Due to the need to practice courage, Xie Shence was thrown in many times by King Li Yan in the middle of the night. Therefore, Xie Shence is familiar with the terrain here.
Because it is an abandoned military camp, it is said that the yin qi is extremely heavy, and the ghost cry can be heard at night, and it is inaccessible, that is, there are few people coming and going during the day.
Such a place, as a hiding place, is naturally the best. Moreover, it is far from Chuzhou City, which is convenient for command.
Xie Shence hesitated for a long time, whether to attack or not.
Obviously, the hideout commanded by the Erli people could not be discovered so easily. Although there is nothing wrong with the whole process of the woodcutter accidentally discovering and then reporting to the school knife camp after being confirmed by the Jianghu rangers, Xie Shence, who has always been cautious, would not believe that the people of Erli would be exposed so thoroughly that he had not yet found out.
The woodcutter can see it, but the professional killer of the Tiqi has found nothing?
Are you kidding.
So Xie Shence decided - kill!
It doesn't matter if he is or not, even if it is a bait deliberately released by the Erli people, it must be a big mouthful of meat, since there is meat, you might as well eat it.
Tiqi's strength in Huaiyang Road is strong enough not to worry about being bitten back.
So under Xie Shence's arrangement, hundreds of horsemen and fifty school swordsmen set off that night.
Coming and going like the wind, aggression like fire, is the consistent style of Tiqi.
At night, the small canyon is very infiltrating, and the scattered fireflies fly by from time to time, and there are no frogs - although there is a small stream, the wind is raging, and because of the unique topography of the canyon, it howls like a wolf.
There were still a few ghost fires wafting in the graveyard in the distance.
Along the way, the people kept spilling out, and each found the most favorable terrain and ambushed. In the end, only Xie Shence and other twenty people remained, slowly approaching the stronghold of the Erli people mentioned in the intelligence.
A few flames like ghost fires swayed in the wind, and although the flames were shaken by the wind, they were not extinguished.
Xie Shence looked at it carefully, and then took out the information and compared it, and after confirming that it was the stronghold of the Erli people, he then made a gesture in the faint light of the fire, and then several Ti Cavalry went up.
A few gray felt tents were not visible at night if they were not close, and the four riders quickly turned back after attaching a certain tent to each other.
Fraud?
In an instant, such a thought welled up in the hearts of many Tiqi.
Xie Shence smiled slightly, there was indeed a bomb.
Then a loud bang was heard, and the flames of the sky tore the four tents away, blowing up large swaths of gravel and dirt.
Ti Qi only felt that his ears were going to be deaf, although some of them had seen the "Divine Thunder", but these people were absolutely trustworthy people selected by Xie Shence, and they were strictly ordered not to reveal half a word of the Divine Thunder, so even if they understood it in their hearts, they would not say it at this time.
The people in the four tents were blown up into the sky before they could scream.
A cloud of flesh and blood fell with mud and sand, hitting the riders hiding behind the rocks, one of which had a tongue and half of his intestines around his neck.
Immediately after the explosion was over, a horseman wearing plate armor stepped forward to check the results.
As it turned out, thirteen people were killed in the explosion, and one person was lucky not to die after a leg was broken.
Tiqi sorted out the body, then gagged the man and brought it to Xie Shence, pressing him to the ground and kneeling. Xie Shence looked at him in the dark and asked lightly, "Where is your command?" ”
The man struggled and whined a few times, and thanked Shence for the rope to be removed from his mouth.
As soon as the rope from the man's mouth was removed, and before he could make a sound, he was punched in the stomach by a horseman, and he had to bend down again.
"You have a chance."
The man curled up on the ground, gasped, raised his head to look at Xie Shence, and sneered twice.
Xie Shence waved his hand, and then a knight drew a straight knife and beheaded the man with a wave of his hand.
The attack ended.
So Xie Shence ordered to continue walking.
The reason why they didn't go back directly after annihilating all the Erli people was because Youtiqi reported the surrounding situation to Xie Shence.
It seems that someone is coming from the cliffs on both sides.
The people in this situation will naturally not be Xie Shence's reinforcements, but can only be the ambush soldiers of the Erli people.
Sure enough, after the sound of a bang, more than a dozen torches were thrown down from the cliff, illuminating the place where the explosion had just exploded.
The torches fell to the ground and were not extinguished, but they burned and lasted, and the flames were vigorous.
Only torches soaked in Greek fire can do this.
Immediately after the torches fell, dozens of feathered arrows fell on the black shadows standing in the middle of the field.
It's just that those black shadows swayed a few times at will, and then fell.
It was a disguise made by the killed Erli people. There were only a few relatively intact corpses left, all of which were used by Xie Shence.
So in the shortest possible time, a few waves of feathered arrows flew towards the cliffs on both sides, and with a few muffled snorts, about four or five Erli archers were shot.
Of course, these people are only a small part.
The battle between the archers is not like the war between the snipers of later generations, trapped by factors such as terrain, weapons, trees, line of sight, and vision, the range of movement of the archers is not large, and both sides are controlled at a distance that does not lose the opponent's position, and the blind shooting is tense and orderly.
The terrain was unfavorable to Tiqi, so not long after Xie Shence left, these people also retreated in the direction of Taniguchi.
The Erli people divided their troops, some of them chased Xie Shence, and some of them chased and killed in the direction of Taniguchi.
Xie Shence is in trouble.
To be precise, even if hundreds of people were dispatched, the strength of the Erli people was still underestimated.
At this time, there were about thirty men in black, lit torches, and blocked the way in front of Xie Shence.
"Kill."
Xie Shence let out a low shout, then pulled out his one-handed crossbow from his back waist and pulled the trigger in front of him.
Knocked down one person in an instant, and it was too late to wind it, Xie Shence inserted his one-handed and crossbow back into his waist, pulled out his Han knife, and rushed forward.
The night fight is the most dangerous, that is, the possibility of being accidentally injured by a companion is greatly increased, fortunately the torch is lit, although the figure is sufficient, but the line of sight is relatively clear.
Xie Shence's combat power tonight is still above the Erli killer, and according to the previous experience, it is very likely that the Erli people are led by a Class A listed person.
Grade A listing person, but there are a number of strong people.
Xie Shence wandered around the outside line and soon found two characters who were suspected to be Grade A listings.
All of them were defeated by one enemy and three without falling behind, and the means were extremely violent, and soon two of the six or seven horsemen who besieged the two were injured and basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Xie Shence quietly pulled out the one-handed crossbow on his waist, wound it, and then aimed at one person, found an opportunity, and suddenly shot it, which was an arrow.
With a "snap", the person who was sneak attacked by Xie Shence seemed to have expected Xie Shence's cold arrow, and actually slapped the crossbow arrow away with a knife when he turned around.
The person who was attacked immediately discovered Xie Shence, and with a roar, with a shocking momentum, forced away the two entangled horsemen, and ran towards Xie Shence.
It was clear that he was angry.
The surrounding Erli assassins naturally noticed the movement here, so a few more people leaned towards Xie Shence's side.
It's common sense to deal with the archers first in team fights.
"When", Xie Shence and the Erli killer made a move, and the two of them each took a step back, and then stepped forward again and stabbed them with a knife.
But in the blink of an eye, Xie Shence's stabbing knife was changed to flirtatious, which caught the Erli killer off guard, and was hit by Xie Shence's next offensive and retreated.
The Han sword, which is different from the sabers of various countries, is longer and narrower, so it is also more unique in usage, and it is not advantageous to attack from a distance, but is extremely powerful in close combat. In the past, Xie Shence's opponents often suffered from this, and were succeeded by Xie Shence.
But today's opponents are clearly smarter.
just blindly retreated, not only invisibly defusing Xie Shence's offensive, but instead leading Xie Shence to his own camp.
Of course, Xie Shence will not be fooled, he is already fighting around, so naturally he will not go deep into the battle circle, and it is even more impossible to attack the opponent's pile.
Xie Shence was also consciously retreating, resisting the sneak attack of the Erli killers who came over.
Just after Xie Shence forced back an Erli killer with a knife and broke his right hand, the hairs on his back suddenly stood on end.
There is danger!
Before he had time to stop, Xie Shence pulled out the dog's leg with his free left hand, and the knife edge was outward, resting it on his neck, while squatting down.
"Dang!" The huge force was transmitted to Xie Shence through the dog's legs, and if it wasn't just the right squat to remove part of the strength, this blow would have broken Xie Shence's collarbone.
Rao is like this, Xie Shence was also shocked and grinned, very uncomfortable.
It's not an internal injury or anything, it's just a simple pain.
There was blood on the collarbone and the back of the neck, and it was uncomfortable to stick to the clothes.
The man who sneaked up on him smiled, and then said, "Long Knife Crescent, you are the Commander of the Tiqi Division, Xie Shence. ”
Xie Shence looked at the two knives in his hand, and said in his heart, you said that the long knife I know is a Han knife, and the crescent moon is a dog's leg?
It's quite chic, much better than a dog's leg.
Inserting the dog's leg back into his thigh, Xie Shence stood up and said, "Which of you is the commander?" ”
The man who sneaked up laughed again: "You are dead, I will tell me about the widowed beauty at your funeral." ”
Xie Shence narrowed his eyes.
Without any extra words, Xie Shence held the knife in both hands, and his wings rose and pounced on the man.
