Chapter 122: Sniping
The three of them followed the instructions on the map, and finally, after nearly twenty hours, came to the vicinity of a military camp and entered a dense forest near the military camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This military camp is not very large, there are more than a dozen military tents in total, about 200 people or so, but the whole military camp is backed by a high mountain, built around the water, the river water surface is only about 30 meters wide, the water flow is very turbulent, a wooden bridge built with logs is the only way in and out.
On the bridge, two groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth, although they were only patrolling, they were in a neat formation and walked in unison, which seemed to be very well-trained.
Thundercloud looked outside for a while, and then he noticed that two monks who were tied up and covered with black cloth on their heads had been brought into the barracks, and soon there were screams from the barracks, which turned out to be a prison.
At this time, it was late, the moonlight was bright, and the three of them were a little hungry, so Lei Yun made a sumptuous supper, and the three of them ate together with Xuanwuwei and Xuanbee.
Lei Yun prepared a large pot of steaming shrimp and crab seafood porridge, as well as two large baskets of steamed soft sweet potatoes, two large plates of crispy shrimp and meatballs wrapped in batter, and a bamboo basket of tender green radish and green onions.
After eating and drinking, Lei Yun whispered a few rounds to Meng Yuan, and Meng Yuan took advantage of the night to touch the barracks, and after a while, the torrential rain covered the entire barracks with hail, and even the two teams of soldiers patrolling outside ran into the barracks to hide from the rain.
After the rain had fallen for nearly an hour, it gradually stopped, and the two groups of soldiers ran out again, but soon, the northwest wind carried goose feathers and heavy snow and drifted down, and the soldiers had to run back again, during which a man in an officer's uniform came out to look at the weather, cursed and wrapped his clothes tightly, and hurried back to the military tent, and then no one came out again.
At this time, a figure took advantage of the night to enter the barracks, sneakily wandered around a dozen military tents for a long time, and it took a long time to run out of the barracks.
When it was raining and snowing on Meng Yuan's side, Xuanchen had already taken five Xuanwu guards to cut down dozens of big trees, remove the excess branches, and transport them to the river upstream.
The wooden bridge was quickly broken by the impact of the giant log, and although it was not completely destroyed, it was no longer usable.
The snow fell all night until the next morning, and as the officer was the first to come out of the tent, the barracks soon became lively.
At this time, the snow was already up to the knees, the soldiers got up together, and began to clear the snow inside and outside the camp, busy for a long time, when the wooden bridge was cleared, only to find that the wooden bridge was also damaged, the officer ran out to look at the old for a long time, and finally determined that it was caused by the branches that drifted down the river, and quickly arranged for people to go out to cut down the trees and repair the wooden bridge.
At this moment, the soldier in charge of cooking found that the food stored in the barracks was gone, and the officer immediately went to the barracks in a hurry to check, and after losing his temper for a long time, he sent two people to transport the military rations first, and then arranged for dozens of people to go out to hunt some rabbits and pheasants and so on.
It didn't take long for a team of about fifty people to walk out of the barracks and into the depths of the dense forest outside the barracks.
It wasn't long before a tree-cutting procession of about forty people came out of the barracks, but they didn't carry weapons, but only axes, ropes, and other tools.
Soon, this team walked into the dense forest where Lei Yun and others were hiding, and after turning around in the dense forest, they began to cut down trees, these sergeants swept the snow for half a day, and now they haven't even eaten breakfast, and their strength is also insufficient, and they have not even been able to cut down a tree for half a day.
A leading sergeant major frowned when he saw this, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and shouted and cursed loudly, asking the soldiers to speed up their efficiency.
The sergeant major was also very helpless when he saw this, he himself was just watching others chopping from the side, and he was already hungry, let alone those soldiers.
At this moment, suddenly the sword flashed, and the sergeant major suddenly felt the scene in front of him spin, and then he actually saw his own body ---- a headless body.
It was Lei Yun who struck, after he slashed the sergeant major to death, the five Xuanwu guards also killed the soldiers who cut down the trees like tigers into wolves, but these soldiers couldn't even pick up the axes to cut down trees at this time, where could they resist? It was quickly slaughtered by the Xuanwu guards.
At the same time, the battle between Meng Yuan and Xuan Chen's side was also coming to an end.
As soon as the team sent out to hunt entered the dense forest, they found a flock of pheasants gathered in the forest clearing in front of them, and the leading captain was overjoyed when he saw it, so he bent his bow and set up an arrow, the bow opened like a full moon, and the arrow went like a shooting star, and an arrow killed a pheasant.
When everyone saw it, they immediately cheered continuously, and at the same time they opened their bows and shots, and after a while, they shot two pheasants, and as soon as the prey arrived, the soldiers suddenly boosted their morale, and they rushed forward one after another, taking the initiative to find the prey, but they didn't notice that a faint mist was slowly coming, and it was getting thicker and thicker.
As the fog became thicker and thicker, and soon, the visibility in the forest became extremely low, and at this moment, a "Amitabha" sounded, and the soldiers immediately felt stiff and fell into a state of paralysis.
Almost at the same time as the Buddha's horn sounded, countless tiny poisonous needles suddenly flew in the sky, like rain, and shot into the soldiers' bodies one after another, and the miserable howls immediately sounded, and all the soldiers who were hit by the needles quickly swollen with fist-sized red envelopes, rolling on the ground in pain.
A figure suddenly burst out of the grass, the light in his hand was bright, and lightning balls kept coming out of his hands, splitting these soldiers one by one into smoke, and after more than two blows, they were all on fire, and the air was soon filled with a strange smell of meat.
Almost did not encounter any resistance, Meng Yuan and Xuan Chen, with the cooperation of Xuan Bee, completely wiped out this hunting team of fifty people, and the enemies on both sides added up, bringing a total of nearly 10,000 points to the three of Lei Yun, and also dropped four or five treasure chests, and opened some buns and gold sore medicine.
After the three of them converged, they rushed to the side of the avenue in front of the dense forest without stopping, and just now Lei Yun paid attention to it, and the two soldiers who went to transfer military rations left the barracks from here.
Thundercloud saw that it was still early, and continued to walk forward with everyone, checking the surrounding terrain as he walked, and kept frowning, and walked for an hour or so, and finally his eyes lit up, and a path sandwiched between the river and the woods appeared in front of everyone.
After signaling everyone to stop, Thundercloud took out a large pile of shovels and pickaxes from his backpack, and everyone worked together, and soon dug the path into a pothole.
After destroying the road, the three of them climbed several very thick trees and hid among the branches.
Because the five Xuanwu guards were too large to hide in the trees, they simply jumped into the river, and the whole person was soaked in the water, only half of the head was exposed, and it was covered with aquatic plants.
After about an hour, more than a dozen horse-drawn carts full of grain slowly came from the road, and a group of heavily armed soldiers opened the way in front of the grain carts, led by a military general in black armor and riding a pitch-black horse under his crotch.
Because the road was not wide, the carriages were lined up in a straight line, and the whole procession was in a "one" shape, and soon they reached the place where the road was destroyed, and when they found that the carriages could not pass, they all stopped.
After the carriage stopped, the military general at the head looked at the surrounding terrain vigilantly, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted:
"It's not good, there's a problem."
Almost at the same time, the carriage at the end of the procession suddenly caught fire, and the entire convoy was immediately thrown into chaos.
