When we arrived at this earthen enclosure, there was a neighing of war horses and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves behind the earthen enclosure.

Chu He tilted his head, and the two black-armored sergeants behind him galloped away twice along the earth fence.

Chu He, on the other hand, turned over and dismounted, and cautiously walked into Tuweizi with Song Nian and several other black-armored sergeants.

There was silence in this earthen enclosure, only a few corpses were lying down.

Chu He glanced at it and said lightly: "It's not an intrusion...... It's a sudden disturbance from within......"

Song Nian nodded, although this earth enclosure is simple, after all, it is a two-person high wall built of rammed earth, and it is difficult to penetrate.

But judging from the outside situation, there is no trace of an attack.

Some of these soldiers who arrived in the place did not even draw their swords and bows, and they died in the end.

Chu He held the long sword in his hand and slowly moved forward, and the black-armored army behind him also slowly drew their knives and touched the several rooms inside the earth enclosure.

Song Nian stepped forward and checked the corpses on the ground.

The injuries of the corpse were basically in the throat.

This stab wound ...... Like the corpses found on the road, the knife was not very sharp, much rougher than the steel knife of the Black Armor Army, and even inferior to the border army, but it was much thicker than the border army.

The difference is that the corpses found on the road have no weapons left around, and they seem to have been taken away by the murderer.

The Chu River clings to the side of the rammed earth house and slowly moves forward.

Song Nian walked lightly to Chu He's side and said in a low voice, "These people ...... It was suddenly attacked, his throat was cut and he died, the murderer should be familiar with the person in charge of this place, and the weapons used are rough and bulky......"

Chu He nodded slightly, waved his hand slightly, and motioned for Song Nian to retreat.

Ahead was the entrance to the rammed-earth house where the soldiers lived, and a curtain hung from the door.

Chu He suddenly struck, his long sword shattered the cloth curtain, and then quickly retreated.

If there is an enemy in the room at this time, it will be a flurry of arrows.

After Chu He dodged this blow, he could take the opportunity to rush in.

However, in the room, there was no sound.

Chu He glanced at it quickly, then sighed and relaxed.

"What's wrong?" Song Nian asked anxiously.

Chu He shook his head and pointed to the inside of the earthen house: "See for yourself." ”

Song Nian poked his head out from behind Chu He, and he was also stunned.

There was not a single living person in the earthen house.

There was only one corpse.

Judging by the special armor on his body and the position he sits, this person should be the commander of this place.

It's just that there was a deep knife mark on his throat, and blood was slowly scattered.

And under his feet, there is a thick three-eyed iron cylinder, which is the "iron cannon" used in the army to release signals.

In this room, there is even a strong smell of gunsmoke.

The sound of the cannon that everyone heard at the bottom of the mountain should be the signal released by this iron cannon. This person may have wanted to warn, or maybe he wanted to ask for help, but it was too late, and after the cannon sounded, he lost his life in an instant.

Looking at this person, Song Nian sighed.

"Why, do you recognize?" Chu He frowned.

Song Nian nodded: "Do you remember when Xue Long died?" He is the personal soldier who was beaten by Xue Hu after Xue Long's death, named Ma Wu. ”

Chu He nodded: "It turned out to be him, why was he sent here?" ”

This person is also ill-fated, first he was beaten and imprisoned by Xue Long and Xue Hu as a deserter, and then he was almost beaten to death by Xue Hu as a murderer, and now he is living in this desolate Tuweizi as a main general, but he still can't escape the fate of death.

However, what made Song Nian curious was that the expression on Ma Wu's face was extremely calm.

Being able to face death calmly is also considered ...... An ability to do it.

Song Nian sighed and began to examine the cause of this person's death.

Nothing special. It's this knife, it's unusually fast.

Indeed, it was the hand of the murderer of the Black Sky Demon God Sect that they were tracking.

"The time of death is very close, and the murderer is afraid that he has not gone far." Song Nian checked it and said suddenly.

Chu He frowned slightly, the murderer is nearby?

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard outside.

Several people got nervous and rushed out of the house.

But it was the two black-armored sergeants who had been sent out before who rushed in from the front door of Tuweizi and shouted, "Lord Chu! Those Hu people retreated! ”

Chu He and Song Nian hurriedly rushed to the rammed earth wall of Tuweizi.

This earthen enclosure is on the top of the mountain, and it is very clear to see from a distance.

In the distance, more than a dozen Hu people rode horses and galloped away into the distance.

They fled in a panic, and even kept looking back, as if there were terrifying demons in this dirt enclosure.

"My lord, these Hu people seem to be very afraid of our Black Armor Army, and as soon as they saw us, they immediately fled!" The black-armored sergeant under the wall said proudly.

Song Nian frowned and looked into the distance.

These Hu people, as if greatly frightened, frightened the flocks of geese and ducks that were hiding in the grass, flapping their wings, and flying southward.

The wild geese and wild ducks were plump, and after these Hu people fled away, they saw that there was no sign of the black armor army chasing them in the earthen enclosure on the mountain, so they set up a bow and shot arrows on the spot, and even began to hunt.

"These Hu people! Suddenly, our border army was so bold! "These black-armored soldiers are extremely angry.

Song Nian said lightly: "Out of this earth enclosure, it is the world of the Hu people, we will catch up, and they will flee immediately!" We have no way to hunt them down on the vast grassland. ”

This is the eternal pain of agricultural civilization to nomadic civilization.

Then, Song Nian turned to Chu He and said, "Lord Chu, do you want to light the beacon fire, warn the Sanchuankou side, and let that side send someone over as soon as possible!" ”

Chu He frowned, and suddenly said, "No! If a beacon fire is lit here, the emptiness of this place will immediately be known by the Hu people, and if the Hu people succeed in taking the opportunity to attack the ...... This river valley is completely lost! ”

"What do you mean?" Song Nian frowned and asked.

Chu He said lightly: "We are chasing the Hu people!" Let these Hu people be frightened, they don't know the reality of this place! Naturally, I didn't dare to attack! Then we send a letter to the rear, gather the army! ”

Song Nian thought so.

Chu He jumped off the wall, mounted a war horse, and led dozens of black-armored soldiers to rush down the hillside.

The Hu people, who were swaggering and hunting in the distance, saw a bunch of black-armored cavalry rushing down the hillside, and they were quite proud, shouting again and again, trying to provoke.

Unexpectedly, the Black Armor Army was extremely fast, rushed down the hillside, and a rain of arrows covered these Hu people.

Especially the Chu River, when he was the first to shoot an arrow, it shot over like lightning, and immediately penetrated the arm of a Hu person.

The Hu man screamed and fled with all his might.

After this blow, the Hu people were wounded and fled in all directions.

Chu He didn't pursue either, but just brought back a few geese that the Hu people had shot before.

Song Nian looked at the overall situation on the wall of the wall, and then he put his mind at ease, returned to the earthen house, and checked Ma Wu's body.

Although the cause of death was determined, she still had a lot of puzzles.
