Qing Shangcheng is one of the largest black iron cities on the border of the Murong family, although it has just been promoted, the surrounding defenses are much tighter than the bronze city.

It was not easy for Liu Wu and Liu Liu to each lead a long team of spearmen forward to clear the outposts on the periphery of Qingshui Castle.

The scout system in Lincheng has not yet been established, and Liu Wu and Liu Liu, the two scout captains who have been predetermined, also have no soldiers under them, and now they are only leading fifty agile and clever soldiers from the pikemen to serve as the first batch of scout teams.

Liu Wu's equipment is also different from that of Tiger Ben and Pink.

Although they were still equipped with spears, the main offensive weapons were short knives and arm shields, and each of them was equipped with three short spears with small arms.

After the scouts who had fled into the mountains and forests left the large army for two miles, under the leadership of Liu Wu and Liu Liu, they dispersed to the left and right, and crisp and short whistles sounded at intervals.

Disappear into the woods.

Liu Wu is proficient in tracking techniques, and the old bastard who grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and it didn't take long for him to enter the mountains and forests, and he found the traces left by people who often passed by in the mountains and forests.

Taking the lead and running forward, Liu Wu risked his waist to look for those obvious marks left in the grass.

When the rainy season comes, the muddy paths between the mountains and forests are often washed up by the mountains and rivers, and when the rain does not fall, the traces left behind after walking through the mountains and forests are clearly visible.

Liu Wu squatted on the ground, gently pulled out a few broken weeds, and checked the footprints left on the ground.

The footprints are not the rough marks left by ordinary people's straw sandals, and the mud that is stepped on back and forth is very smooth, taking away the fine mud that falls in front of the muddy footprints.

It can be seen that the strength of the extra toes is very large, it is a person who practices martial arts, and there is also a weight on the body, judging from the traces left by the flat shoes, it should be the sentry post outside the Qing Shangcheng.

Liu Wu raised his head and glanced at the dark mountain forest a few times, and whispered to the ten scouts behind him, "It's close. There were five people in total, carrying a load. It should be food and supplies. He carries a weapon with him, and the weeds around him have been cut off by a knife. ”

Liu Wumao took a few steps forward, pointing to the footprints on the ground and imparting his experience to the scouts.

"Look at their footprints, the heels that land are very heavy, and the toes that start are very strong, that's why they leave such marks in the semi-dry mountains. ”

He said as he lifted up a broken weed on the side of the mountain road, which was stained with a little mud: "The grass stalk will rebound when it encounters footsteps, not with great strength, it will not break, but this one is broken, and it is also stuck to the soil, you can assess that the weight on their bodies is not light, and the heavy steps are almost close to the ground." ”

Liu Wu looked up at the sloping mountain road: "On such a mountain road, a guard-level soldier has to carry a hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds of weight, and he will only get tired after a long distance. They will be tired, they should have just returned from Qingshang. ”

"Qingshangcheng is about fifteen miles away from here, and it is not easy to run a dead horse on Wangshan and travel fifteen miles with a weight of one hundred catties. We go up to the top of the hill and should soon be able to see their outpost. ”

After Liu Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand and took the lead to rush forward.

The scouts scattered around him in the woods leaped like flies to follow in his footsteps, and ran quickly towards the top of the mountain.

The lightly armed scout followed Liu Wu to the top of the mountain, Liu Wu crawled forward in the grass for a while, with a smile on his face, and gently pointed to the opposite hillside to the scout behind him.

On the opposite hillside, among the dense forests, a corner of the tree house is faintly exposed, and on the slope below the tree house, a large pot is lit on a bonfire, and it is really steaming and boiling something!

Two soldiers in light armor squatted to the side and spoke.

The mountains and forests were silent, and the voices of the two people spread far away, and they could only hear their voices but couldn't hear them clearly.

Liu Wu raised his hand, pointed to the hillside behind the treehouse and waved his hand gently, pointed to his fist, and then opened his final clenched fist, and the five scouts took a few steps back slightly, detouring to the position he commanded.

The situation on the other side of the treehouse is already clear, the two soldiers outside are cooking big meat, and there are two other people in and out of the treehouse, and there should be two more people who have not shown up inside.

Because there are six large bowls on the ground, and six bamboo tubes hang from the trunk under the tree house.

The situation in the mountains and forests is different from that at home, most of the utensils for eating and drinking water are made of convenient items in the mountains and forests, and from the wear and tear of the six large bowls and bamboo tubes, these six soldiers have been here for some time.

Liu Wu crouched in the grass, watching his team reach their designated position, his body sliding like a snake across the hill.

The remaining five swam forward with him.

At fifty zhang, thirty zhang, and twenty zhang, Liu Wu stopped, and now he could hear the voice of the person on the other side, but there was no need to listen to what they said.

Liu Wu took off the short spear on his back with his backhand and made a fist gesture to his companion behind him.

That gesture means to close the net!

Their task this time is to clean up, not to catch alive.

The guy who came in and out of the tree house came out again with a low curse, came to the cauldron and said a few words to the two, reached out and picked up the spatula in the cauldron to scoop up a piece of meat, tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

Liu Wu's eyes flashed with coldness, he jumped up from the grass violently, and strode towards the tree house, the short spear in his hand was thrown out with all his might, and a breathtaking sound of breaking the air flashed in mid-air.

In the eyes of the Lincheng scouts, the short spear that shot out instantly swept more than twenty zhang, and the lightning penetrated into the chest of the Qingshang soldier who had just heard the sound and turned around.

The majestic power of the spinning short spear carried the entire body of the Qing Shui soldier backwards, and smashed it in front of the other two soldiers who were hurriedly getting up.

The two let out a scream and turned and ran towards the grass next to the treehouse.

Grab, grab, grab...... A series of dense bowstrings sounded, followed by Liu Wu's nameless scout, who fired a series of crossbows in his hands, and strode forward.

At a distance of twenty zhang, the bodies of the two Qing soldiers were thrown away screaming under the impact of arrows, and they fell to the edge of the grass and struggled a few times to move.

The bowstring stopped, and Liu Wu, who was impacting, also stopped, turned out another broken spear in his hand, and cautiously leaned forward.

Boom!

The soft sound of the bowstring came from the treehouse, and the arrows came head-on, and the treehouse suddenly exploded and three figures jumped out of the air, rushing towards Liu Wu and them, Liu Wu's figure rolled to the left to avoid the arrows, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill them." ”

Five scouts lying in ambush on the hillside rushed down, and the rustling of the grass, accompanied by the rattling of bowstrings, spread out through the forest.

The three figures that broke through became live targets in the air about two feet away, and the terrifying burst of the crossbow's ability and strong force shot the three of them into a sieve in mid-air, and the corpses that had lost their vital characteristics were twisted into a strange angle and smashed to the ground.

Liu Wu raised his hand and quickly circled a few times: "Go to the two to see if there are any leaks, and clean up the battlefield for the rest, don't leave an arrow." ”

The scouts lunged in all directions.
