Volume 1 The Wind and Cloud of the Northern Plains Chapter 5 Short Encounters

"Wang Rui. Wang Rui!" Zhou Zhe got up to look for Wang Rui after he figured it out, he wanted to persuade Wang Rui to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. In an emergency, even honorific titles are useless. The sergeants looked at Zhou Zhe with disgust. And Zhou Zhe ignored it at all, Wang Rui walked out of the group of sergeants eating pancakes, looked at the young villagers in front of him with some dissatisfaction, and said lightly:

"What are you yelling for?" Although he was not angry, his tone was also dissatisfied. Zhou Zhe looked at the unkind gazes around him and took a deep breath:

"Wang Baihu, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the situation has also been ascertained, and it is time to report the situation back to Longquan Pass. ”

"A certain soldier is on the march, and you don't have to worry about when to act. Wang Rui felt that this person was just boring, so he replied coldly, and went back to sit down and eat pancakes. Zhou Zhe was not in everyone

said clearly in front of him, otherwise, when the time comes, if he really says that the wolf rider may gather several teams to attack, Wang Rui will be embarrassed, if he does not leave, he may be wiped out by the regiment, and if he leaves, the morale of the army may be damaged, and his prestige may be damaged. In a crowd

Under the sergeant's somewhat disdainful gaze, Zhou Zhe gave Liu Dabeard a look. After the sergeants sat down to eat cakes, Liu Dabeard walked up to Zhou Zhe and asked:

"What the hell are you doing, what did you find?" Zhou Zhe didn't hold much back this time, and told his speculation and speculation. Liu Dabeard was shocked, but he didn't delay, and ran directly to Wang Rui and bit his ear. Then he came back and pulled Zhou Zhe over, and the three of them talked in a whisper, and the sergeants around him didn't think much about it, but just praised Lin Xiaoer on the side for eating. In this time, this product has already eaten 10 pancakes.

"You mean, the wolf rider may assemble and then attack?" Wang Rui asked directly at this time.

"It is very likely that it has been about 2 hours since dawn, and if it is assembled, there will be at least two or more teams. Zhou Zhe said, looked at the backs of the surrounding sergeants and whispered: "I know that you are not afraid of wolf riding, and the enemy is outnumbered, it is difficult to have a chance of winning, and even if you win, it may be a miserable victory." ”

"You don't have to cover it up with nice words. Wang Rui waved his hand, "The terrain of this mountain pass is narrow, and it is useless if there are many people, so it can be a battle." Otherwise, it will be winter, and there will not even be some hard dishes. ”

"How can you fight this mountain pass so big? The wolf cavalry can't be opened, and you don't have a cavalry advantage. Zhou Zhe was a little annoyed and belligerent with Wang Rui. And Wang Rui was also a little speechless. The bearded Liu next to him hurriedly played a round:

"Baihu, I think it's either like this, if there are more people, we will withdraw, and if there are fewer people, we will fight. Take a few heads in exchange for a few meals that go with wine. And we have also arrived in Lin Village, and with the situation here, reporting is indeed the first priority. These words are indeed reasonable, and Wang Rui was about to agree, but at this time, the two sentry men on the mountain rode war horses, accelerated and ran over, and shouted with their hands

"Wolf ride. The wolf rode to the foot of the mountain. Zhou Zhe couldn't wait to stab him two with a knife in his heart, no matter how many people there were, such a loud sound, the wolf rider behind the foot of the mountain must have heard it, and the retreat movement at this moment may be understood by the wolf rider, and when the time comes, the sergeant who is familiar with the horse's nature may run away, and he and Lin Xiaoer have almost no hope of survival.

"*()......&!" Zhou Zhe scolded, causing Liu Dabeard and Wang Rui to look stunned, this is still the three-good villager who is delicate and like a scholar?

"King, Wang Baihu, at the foot of the mountain, the wolf rode over, six, sixty at least. Everyone was shocked by this shout. When Wang Rui heard this, he put away the pancakes and shouted:

"The whole team is ready for battle!"

Can you get on your horse and prepare for battle? And it's a wolf rider who has heard the sound and is speeding up. Zhou Zhe scolded in his heart, his brainstorming was full, and he took advantage of the situation to pull Wang Rui:

"Take a step to speak. His eyes glared at Wang Rui, and he despised one of his tendons in his heart, and he also admired their fierceness and fearlessness.

"If you say you want to leave, or if it hinders the morale of our army, even if you are not a soldier I lead, I will kill you first. Wang Rui looked back at Zhou Zhe, full of anger, and the sergeants who were a little nervous on the side also looked at Zhou Zhe.

Zhou Zhe looked at the group of nervous and somewhat excited sergeants, calmed down a little, and said without caring about the moment of life and death:

"If you want to win this one, you have to listen to me. ”

"Heh, what a big breath, you are just a mountain villager, listen to you?" Wang Rui was a little annoyed by Zhou Zhe's arrogance.

"20 people against 60 people, even if you are ambushed, how many layers of certainty do you have? If you fight head-on, what are the odds of winning? How can the information be sent back to Longquan Pass?" Zhou Zhe's series of questions almost stunned everyone,

Although the sergeants are not afraid of death, they are not stupid people who don't want to die, but they will want to seize any chance to win, this is human nature, and the cruelty of encircling three and missing one lies in this.

"How are you doing?" Wang Rui didn't look at Zhou Zhe, just rubbed the spear in his hand, looked at the tip of the spear, and there was a posture that you couldn't tell if you were ugly, and I would kill first.

"Choose a sergeant with the best control of the horses, pull all the horses away, make the illusion that we have evacuated, go northeast, stop just when you see the exit of the pass, wait until the wolf rider appears, and then start moving. The rest of the sergeants, all the crossbows, gathered together and used, ambushed and waited for the wolves to shoot closely, and the arrows were good with longbows to shoot the missing. Now there is only the wind blowing from the north to the south, and we are outside the mountain pass, as long as we are disguised, we don't have to worry that their giant wolves can smell us. We just need to hide and have a team of horses in the distance to attract their attention. Zhou Zhe said the plan in his head in one breath.

"It's just~~ how is it hidden here?" Wang Rui kicked the thin, uneven and yellowed turf on the ground. There was nothing but 3 big trees next to the village.

"There is a way!" Zhou Zhe didn't care who it was at this time, dragged a sergeant, let him lie on the ground, and then scattered all the dead branches and leaves on his body. gave him the cavalry crossbow and looked at everyone, at this time everyone, including Wang Rui, was already stupid, this was a pile of dry grass. Wang Rui took a closer look, turned around a few more times, walked away to take a look, and came back and got some dry grass and fiddled with the sergeant a few times before he was satisfied. The big hand patted Zhou Zhe's shoulder, almost crippled Zhou Zhe, and said with a smile:

"Brother Zhou, you can! There are two brushes!!" Liu Dabeard next to him also gave a thumbs up and gave an exaggerated facial expression.

"Also, if they don't come in the direction of our ambush, Wang Baihu, your strength is the strongest, and you can only attract it. Zhou Zhe continued to begin his ambush operation. Among the sergeants, Liu Dabeard, who had the best archery skills, and another sergeant was arranged by Zhou Zhe at the back of the line, near the big tree. It is convenient for them to observe the overall situation, kill the missing wolf riders, and the rest of the people also take out the crossbows with their baggage reserves, or one crossbow per person, or two crossbows per man are placed in a fan-shaped range of about twenty meters in front of the three big trees. Wang Rui is the queen of the tree. The sergeant in control of the horse had already left far away, waiting for the wolf to show its head. If this side wins, he controls the horse and returns, and if he fails, he goes to Longquan Pass to report the news. And everyone is ready, just waiting for an order, or a great victory, or a complete defeat. After the arrangement, it was about half an hour after the wolf was spotted. Everyone was lying on the dry and cold grass, and there was silence around them, and only their own heavy breathing could be heard. Zhou Zhe was also lying on the grass, cold sweat soaked his back, and his eyes were full of bloodshots. He's in the corner of the fan, and if he gives the order, everyone will open fire. This was his last arrangement.

The wolf rode in the anticipation of the sergeants, and finally appeared in the mountain pass, and the first two horsemen saw the horses running away in the distance, and immediately shouted to the rear team, and then left the home team, and took out the longbow behind him, which was a sign of the expansion of the battle formation. A series of skillful tactics and personal familiarity made Zhou Zhe's heart tighten, and he almost pulled the trigger with a trembling hand. The wolf riders who followed behind also formed a queue, coming in the direction of Lin Village, with two archers on each side who were armed with bows ready to strike from the flanks at any time.

Time passed little by little, and the wolf rider gradually approached, Zhou Zhe even asked about the fishy smell brought by the mountain wind, and the cold sweat on his face began to drip in again, and he took a deep breath. Close your eyes and force your mind to calm down. He needs to wait for a very close limit position to launch a strike, so that he can hit the most enemies in the shortest possible time to change the situation of more enemies and fewer enemies, and then he will come

There is a chance to win. 50 steps, 40 steps, 30 steps...

"Attack, Liu Dabeard knocked out the archers on both sides!" Zhou Zhe shouted when he turned his hand on the crossbow machine, and then directly discarded the cavalry crossbow, after supporting the ground with both hands, his right hand pushed hard, and his left hand was relaxed and rolled, and the two arrow feathers fell where he was just now. Then, without hesitation, he peeked at the flanking archers and ran behind the trees. The two archers on the west side were shot cleanly by Liu Dabeard and another archer at the first time. The one on the east side hit Zhou Zhe as soon as he heard the sound, and after he missed, the second group of arrows was not yet launched, and he was attacked by Liu Dabeard, who had already been prepared. The fan-shaped range of the wolf rider was hit by the first attacking sergeant door, and most of the wolf riders died or went up in just a few seconds, and after a short period of confusion, the well-trained wolf riders did not hesitate to urge the giant wolves to disperse, but after all, they lost their numerical advantage, and there was no extra time to draw out their bows and arrows to calmly counterattack, so they could only win by quickly closing the distance and winning with the speed advantage of the cavalry.

"Wang Rui, what are you waiting for?" Zhou Zhe looked at the wolf rider dozens of steps away, and was about to rush to the front of him, shouting about birth.

"Bang!" Wang Rui's spear that quickly flashed from behind the tree swept away, slamming into the charging giant wolf with a strong wind, and the huge inertia made the half-orc knight fly out, fly past Zhou Zhe and fall to the ground. Then Wang Rui strode forward and reflexively stabbed the giant wolf's vital point, and continued to rush forward to fight after collecting the gun, Zhou Zhe picked up a hammer under the tree, and ran to the fallen orc without hesitation, and smashed it when he was not fully awake. At this moment, he suddenly felt a gust of fishy wind behind his head, and as soon as he turned his head, the giant wolf had already pounced, and Zhou Zhe, who had no time to dodge, thought that he was going to die in the wolf's mouth, and Liu's bearded arrow was nailed into the ears of the giant wolf, and then smashed on Zhou Zhe's body with inertia, Zhou Zhe was almost suffocated. But fortunately, his life was saved.

The battle ended quickly, and there was no chance of escape. The wolf riders were all killed, and only a few of the wolves that had lost their knights were able to escape. When Liu Dabeard and Lin Xiaoer

When the giant wolf was removed from Zhou Zhe, the other sergeants were already cleaning the battlefield.

"Brother Zhou, don't speak yet. Liu Dabeard was very careful, and touched Zhou Zhe's body to make sure that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, so he pulled Zhou Zhe up. Looking at the giant wolf that was removed, and the half-orc who was beaten under him, smelling the smell of blood, Zhou Zhe was a little weak. If it weren't for Lin Xiaoer, who was nervous, he would not have been able to stand steadily. Just asked weakly:

"It's all over?"

"It's over, none of them escaped, you can sit down and rest for a while!" Then Liu Dabeard untied the water bladder and handed it to Zhou Zhe, patted him on the shoulder and went over to clean up the battlefield. Zhou Zhe quietly looked at the people cleaning the battlefield, counted the number of people, there were nine people missing, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes, nine people, and they were already killed. The sergeants were more or less sad, silently cutting off one of the orcs' ears as proof of beheading, while the corpses of their comrades, piled up, should have been prepared to be burned on the spot, at least not to make them food for the giant wolf. Wang Rui holds the badge of a soldier who died in battle. Leaning against the tree in a silent daze. Zhou Zhe felt that his coldness might just be pretending. Maybe he's sad too!
