Chapter 10: The First Battle (3)
Tang led people all the way to the speed, it had already exceeded 50 miles, and Jin Shi had long lost the concept of distance, only knew that he ran from dark to dawn, and he was still running after dawn, and the roads and hills were running.
At the foot of another hill, Don finally ordered a halt, and instructed: "Hide the war horse in the haystack, bring dry rations, and take the equipment and follow me." ”
Although it was the first time for Jin Shi to participate in this kind of operation, he was not panicked at all, although he didn't know where Tang was going to take them, but he believed that Tang's sentence of 'they must be slaughtered' was not nonsense.
After walking a distance, Don said: "Fix in place, eat something, and replenish your strength." ”
Jin Shi was already hungry, and jolting on horseback was no less than pulling and training, taking out dry food and gnawing it.
Don walked up to a high ground, carefully showed his head, watched for a moment, and then came back and said to the man who had been with him last night, "Nordin, it's up to you." ”
The man named Nordin nodded silently, took another bite of dry food, and left alone.
Jin Shi was a little curious, staring at Nordin leaving. Don looked at him and Fat Tiger and asked, "What's your name?"
"Golden stone. "Fat Tiger. ”
"How old is this year?"
Jin Shi didn't dare to answer, when he joined the army, he was in a bad state, and he left without thinking about anything, but he knew that he could only join the army at the age of fourteen. He didn't know how he would feel if he told Don that he was only twelve years old now, so he chose not to answer, and let Fat Tiger communicate as usual. Fat Tiger said: "Sixteen years old. ”
Tang nodded and said, "Yes, I went to the battlefield before me, and I was still reading at the academy when I was sixteen years old." ”
Fat Tiger showed a look of envy and said, "Is it the Elemental School?"
Tang said: "Yes, but I am the same as you, and all that awakens is Gangqi. ”
Just as Fat Tiger wanted to ask again, he suddenly saw a figure running quickly towards this side. It's just that the speed, but it's really fast, faster than the war horse, Jin Shi and the fat tiger instinctively clench the shield and sword. Don stopped them and said, "It's okay, it's Nordin." ”
Nordin ran back like a ghost and said to Don, "Your guess is right, and you have set up a temporary stronghold in the depths of the hills behind. Weeds are overgrown and not easy to spot. ”
Tang pondered: "See how many people don't. ”
Nordin shook his head and said: "I can't see it, there are only two sentry posts, and there is no trace of the war horse, which is well hidden." ”
Tang didn't look disappointed, and said, "That's right, if we don't hide it, how can we set up a stronghold under our noses." ”
Nordin asked, "So what now?"
Tang said, "There is no hurry. He gathered everyone around and said, "Brothers, the man has been found." ”
Even Jin Shi was a little excited. Tang also said: "Maybe you don't know who we are looking for? Now let me tell you, in the past few days, the convoy has been attacked one after another, and it is this group of people who did it. ”
A veteran said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, rush up and kill them all?"
Tang smiled slyly and said, "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, choose to appear at night, it must be day and night, and now is the time for them to sleep." It's still early, so we're full of food and drink, and we'll kill when we've had enough rest. ”
"Well, listen to you. The veteran felt that Don had a point. The rest agreed, and prepared and trimmed in various ways. Jin Shi didn't speak, he could kill the enemy anyway, as for the rest, it didn't matter.
After resting, Tang led everyone quietly to the depths of the hill. The hilly terrain is flat and overgrown with weeds, making it easy to hide. After walking for a while, Tang raised his hand and clenched his fist, Jin Shi had learned from Grandmaster Ban Suo, which meant to stop. Don reached out and pressed down to make everyone crouch, and he reached out to Jinshi to take the bow. Jin Shi untied his bow and handed him an arrow.
Don and Nordin glanced at each other, and they pulled their bows at the same time, and then released their arrows at the same time. Tang lifted the shield sword as fast as he could, and said, "Charge." With that, the figure dissipated in front of him.
Before Jin Shi could figure out what the situation was, he saw the other veterans follow with their swords waving. He didn't care so much, and rushed forward.
Jin Shi didn't run a few steps when he saw a remnant wall in the weeds, and two corpses fell outside the wall, both of which were killed by an arrow shot through the heart. They did not wear the black military uniforms of the Aosi Empire, but wore gray civilian clothes, but the weapons around them were definitely military standard weapons.
Jin Shi still didn't see Tang's figure, but there was already a sound of fighting behind the remnant wall, and the veterans also rushed behind the remnant wall one by one, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to rush.
Jin Shi rushed through the remnant wall, a little confused, and when he saw the people in a mess, he didn't know how to make a move.
Suddenly, Jin Shi saw a person swinging a knife and slashing at Tang's back, he gritted his teeth and rushed over with a shield. The knife slashed at the shield, this voice was too familiar to him, and as soon as the sound ended, he instinctively swung the shield out of the sword. Jinshi watched as the blade of the sword stabbed into the chest of his foe. Before he could react, a figure appeared on the right and lunged towards him. Jin Shi collected his sword and raised his shield to block the man's attack, as he had practiced, adjusting his pace, approaching, swinging his sword and slashing diagonally.
The enemy skillfully dodged the attack of the Golden Stone and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Golden Stone. Jin Shi was a little flustered, instinctively holding his shield to block and retreat. As soon as he retreated, he retreated to the position of the remnant wall, and the golden stone could only move sideways. Suddenly he heard a 'thud', and Jin Shi realized that the enemy was slashing at the wall, and he quickly pushed in, his shield striking the enemy.
Jin Shi couldn't see the enemy's expression, only that he was knocked to the ground, gathered his shield sideways, and swung his sword down. The enemy also erupted into a fierce blow and collided with Jinshi's sword, and he suddenly felt his hand paralyzed by the shock, and the sword also showed signs that he could not hold it.
When the sword was shaken back, Jin Shi retracted the shield in front with inertia, but his right hand was still numb and could not attack. In a hurry, Jin Shi shouted loudly and pressed down violently with his body. The enemy wanted to take the opportunity to get up, but he didn't want to be knocked to the ground again.
Jin Shi pressed the enemy to the ground, and suddenly found that the enemy had his free hand to swing a knife to slash himself, he turned his body, knelt on the enemy's elbow with his left knee, and stepped on the enemy's wrist with his right foot, so that the enemy could not attack him.
The enemy waved his hands and struggled, bursting out with surging power. Jin Shi was also roaring and bursting out with more strength to suppress the enemy, he didn't know how long he had been pressing, suddenly felt that his right hand had strength, he shouted again, his left elbow exerted force, his body was propped up, and the sword in his right hand was already raised high.
Collect the shield, turn around, and slash down. He practiced this movement for two years, and the two years of non-stop practice made him instinctive, even if there was one more bending movement, this sword still flowed, perfectly slashing the throat of the enemy.
Jin Shi had already realized that he had won this round of fighting, and he gathered his shield and sword, ready to find his next target. Suddenly, he saw a figure on the left side attacking, and he shouted, just like a drill, and like a drill, he drew his sword.
Jin Shi's sword slashed halfway, and he felt a huge force hit his chest, and his whole body was unstable, rolling backwards. I don't know if it was a round or two rounds, but I was dizzy anyway. Suddenly, I heard a voice and said, "Good boy, even I dare to cut it, not bad." ”
Then he heard a burst of laughter, Jin Shi shook his stunned head, and finally came to his senses, and saw a group of people in front of him, staring at him and laughing.
Jin Shi looked at Tang's tall figure, and slowly turned out to be exactly the same as the person who attacked him just now. I understood something in an instant, and I was very embarrassed.
Looking at the battlefield again, there were more than 20 corpses lying on the ground. Jin Shi knew that the battle had been won, and immediately burst into tears. Thinking of the scene of the killing of the village, the scene of the killing of his mother, and the scene of his father hugging him before he died, he cried, crying more and more, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, Jin Shi was laughing and crying.
It was his biggest mood swing in two years, as if something was relieved. In the past two years, he has not been smiling, he has not paid attention to anything, and he only knows the cultivation and practice of one mind every day. Now it seems that he made the right choice at that time, and his efforts have also had a good start, how can he not be happy, how can he not want to laugh.
So Jin Shi is laughing, laughing unscrupulously, laughing creepy, laughing with all his might.
