Chapter 9: Frightened

"The bow camp is in the front, the spear camp is in the center, and the broadsword camp is in the back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Sentinel!"

"In!"

"Carefully sentry along the way, there must be no negligence. ”

"Yes. ”

"Grain Officer!"

"In!"

"In addition to grain and grass, you must prepare enough arrows, and if there are not enough arrows on the way, ask you. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yu Dian. ”

"The end will be. ”

"Let's go. ”

"The last will obey. ”

In the face of the illegal practice of Qiu Tianqi, the young commander-in-chief, who once again used three battalions with a total of 2,400 soldiers, Wei Shaofeng, the deputy commander-in-chief, and others could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak.

It was 25 August, and after breakfast, 2,400 soldiers set off along the official road into Beijing in a tightly packed carriage covered with tarpaulins.

On a crisp autumn day, the mood of the more than 2,000 soldiers was not excited at all. Since the burning of the barracks that day, which almost killed four or five hundred soldiers in the pro-barracks, the general barracks has lost dozens of soldiers every night for several days. Especially in the pro-military camp, up to now, the team of 800 people is less than 100 people. Therefore, the entire general barracks was panicked.

Gradually, everyone knew the reason why the savage boy with the waist of the beast skin attacked the barracks and why he always couldn't get along with the barracks. It turned out that it was the young general soldier who led the pro-military camp to snatch people's 10,000-year-old meat Ganoderma lucidum, not only shot and injured the boy, but also killed a peasant girl. Moreover, it is said that the girl is the older sister of the teenager who was separated in the great flood five years ago.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that this matter is in an uproar, and the entire Ying Tianfu is alarmed. Naturally, the news came from the mouths of people familiar with the burned-out fenced courtyard. Afterwards, it is impossible for people in the vicinity not to find the new grave. Moreover, there were people who had seen what happened from afar. Naturally, it was easy to guess the relationship between the boy and the girl who was rescued by the owner and his wife from the flood five years ago.

These words also reached Qiu Tianqi's ears. As for how he felt after hearing this, only he knew.

After a day's march, before the sun set, it was already more than 70 miles away from Yingtianfu City, and just came to the junction of the plain and the mountain.

"Young commander, isn't it time to set up camp?"

"Well, right on the grass by the creek at the foot of the hill over there. ”

Qiu Tianqi casually pointed to the northwest with the horsewhip in his hand.

"Yes. ”

The lieutenant general led the troops to set up camp, while Qiu Tianqi climbed a small mound on horseback, and looked around and found no suspicious figures. When there was a sound of clattering horses' hooves behind him, Qiu Tianqi turned around and dismounted, handed the reins to the guards beside him, looked at the sentinel who came from the horse and asked, "Have you found anything?"

"I've struck three times, and there is no suspicious person within a radius of twenty miles. ”

"Well, don't be negligent. Keep the sentry. ”

"Yes. ”

"Young commander, the camp has been set up, please go to the camp to rest. ”

"Vice General Yu, do you think he will follow?"

"Don't worry, he has been going around the general barracks for more than ten days, and it is absolutely impossible not to follow. ”

Qiu Tianqi didn't say anything, just nodded. However, he faintly hoped in his heart that it was best that the savage boy would not follow, so that he could enter the capital safely, and after offering the 10,000-year-old meat lingzhi to the emperor, he would be added to the rank and knight, and maybe he would no longer have to respond to Tianfu, and he would no longer have to face that hateful, demon-like savage boy in the dark night.

"Young General Soldier, when will the men and horses leave?"

"After midnight, according to what has been agreed in advance. Half of the men and horses of the bow and crossbow battalion, and three hundred men and horses each of the spear battalion and the broadsword battalion, quietly went to the first line of heaven to ambush. Unless he doesn't come, as long as he comes, he must do it with one blow. ”

"Don't worry, he will definitely come. ”

The moon rises late on August 25, and it is not until around the time of the sub-hour that a last quarter moon appears in the sky. In the song of autumn insects, the hazy night is even quieter.

At the moment, a group of men and horses quietly drove out of the camp on the grass by the river. It can be said that the person did not make the slightest sound, and walked along the official road into Beijing.

Finally, I can sleep peacefully. After Qiu Tianqi saw the 1,000 men and horses who went to the first line of heaven to ambush leave, he did not forget to patrol around the camp for a while, and then returned to the central tent to relieve his armor and sleep.

"Ahh

After sleeping for less than an hour, a miserable scream suddenly broke the silence of the autumn night, and Qiu Tianqi sat up from the bed in a flash.

"What's the matter?!"

"Young Chief Soldier Qiyu, that man is here again, and he has just shot a soldier who is patrolling the night. ”

Qiu Tianqi knew that his dream of getting a good night's sleep tonight was completely shattered. However, no soldiers were sent to search. The general army camp outside the city of Yingtianfu Mansion couldn't help the ghost-like savage boy, let alone in the area where it meets the mountains and wilderness.

All the methods imaginable before have been used, and even the lights in the camp have been extinguished, but they still can't stop the savage boy hiding in the shadows from shooting the night patrol sentry with unerring accuracy. As a last resort, Qiu Tianqi could only order the night patrol sentries to hide behind the camp fence as much as possible. Even so, there were sentries who were shot from time to time.

"Can he not see at night?!"

This made Qiu Tianqi unbelievable.

As for being able to shoot and kill the soldiers hiding behind through the camp gate, Qiu Tianqi was clear in his heart. At the beginning, it was under the 10,000-year-old flesh Lingzhi that seemed to be not serious on the shoulders of the savage boy, but in fact, it took six strong soldiers to lift it, how could Qiu Tianqi not know the strength of the young man. What is not clear is just how much strength the boy has.

After paying the price of eleven soldiers and not sleeping all night, the dawn finally came. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, according to previous experience, the savage boy would not sneak attack during the day.

buried the pot early to make rice, and hurried on the road.

After leaving the campsite three miles last night, the official road went headlong into the mountains. Not to mention, the road became bumpy, and the surrounding area was also covered with dense jungle blocking everyone's view. Even if scouts were constantly being dispatched, including Qiu Tianqi, they were still nervous in their hearts, fearing that they would shoot a deadly arrow from behind a tree or in the grass.

An hour later, a procession of more than 1,000 people had driven the wagon into the mountains, and the nightmare struck again. The young man, who never sneaked up on soldiers during the day, changed his normal behavior, and could always drill out of the cracks of the sentry, and only fired one arrow at a time, and each arrow would definitely kill one person.

As a result, the journey on August 26 became extraordinarily slow, and after paying the lives of one hundred and forty-four soldiers, it finally reached the first line of heaven at the beginning of the night.
