Chapter 31: Ambush

"Report, find out ahead!"

The scout quickly rolled off his horse and gave an imperial salute to the commander in front of him, followed by a loud voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tell the Great Commander, this mountain runs from east to west, the length is about twenty miles, and there are no traces of other horses and horses in the radius. ”

Perry raised his head slightly, squinted at a barren mountain covered with yellow sand in front of him, "Is there a road to the south?"

The young scout was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Unless you bypass this mountain, there is only one valley in front of you. ”

"Then let's get through the valley," Perry looked back at the dozen or so horsemen behind him who were unsaddle and change horses, and smiled at the scout in front of him, "If nothing else, we can find the Duke's trace today." ”

"Yes, my lord!" the young knight straightened up and gave a military salute, his eyes unabashedly mixed with a hint of eagerness and excitement.

When Perry saw him, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Listening to your accent, it should be from Moxi, right?"

"Yes, sir. The scout's slightly immature face showed a look of pride at this time, "My hometown is from Moxi Province, and my grandfather also served as a soldier in the Third Legion under Duke Ellio. ”

"Yes," Perry smiled slightly, "I heard when I was in the imperial capital that the most elite unit under Duke Elillo, known as the 'Imperial God of War', was the Third Legion, and it is said that even the iron cavalry of the steppe people could not surpass the heavy infantry of the Third Legion. ”

"Yes, my lord, grandpa has taught me the duke's kindness to our northwest since I was a child, so don't worry, I will definitely find the duke to the death!"

"Very well, your grandfather will be proud of you," Perry patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, hurry up and change horses to explore the way, and when I find the Duke, I will definitely find your commander to give you a credit." ”

"Yes, Grand Commander!" the knight gave another military salute and turned to leave.

Perry turned around and dismounted, and the soldiers on either side led the horse away, and the combat boots stepped on the soft yellow sand, such a desert scenery was indeed a tragic and desolate feeling that the emperor had never received.

It's just that he has no time to sigh now, looking at the yellow sand in front of him, Perry's eyes are a little colder.

It was already morning since the departure last night, and the vanguard led by him had traveled nearly 600 miles south for more than ten hours, but the result was ......

Nothing!

Perry was not surprised, after all, Suya had been missing for nearly a month, and although she had found abnormal magic fluctuations from the magic compass, it was impossible to determine when she left them.

However, since the approximate range can be determined, a careful search will certainly find clues. It's just that the only thing that makes Perry a little uneasy is another piece of information he got from the Mobei station: the Macedonian side also seems to be on the move......

"It seems that things are worse than I imagined," Perry smiled coldly, but his right hand unconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, "No matter what, Suya, you can't just die......"

...... Half an hour later, Perry and his party finally walked into the valley, and there was nothing unusual along the way, to Perry's surprise, there was a river in this narrow valley.

Halfway through the valley, the trees on both sides were getting thicker, and some of the low bushes were almost overgrown on sunny slopes, when Perry suddenly raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates behind him to stop.

"My lord, is there anything wrong?" The guard on the side was obviously a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he immediately asked Perry as he watched his surroundings warily.

Perry ignored his subordinates' doubts, just turned over and dismounted, bent down and carefully looked at the yellow sand and a few fallen leaves under his feet, only to take two looks, and he immediately stood up.

"Barr, where's the scout?" Perry frowned and glanced into the distance.

"The scout hasn't come back yet, and he's been in charge of exploring the way half an hour ago......" The guard named "Barr" was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and his brows were furrowed:

"Speaking of which, he should be back too, my order is to explore the way, and it shouldn't be delayed for so long. ”

Perry's heart sank, his eyes looked around gloomily, and he said in a deep voice: "There are traces left by carts and horses on the dirt road, and the yellow sand on it is newly covered, and it looks like ruts and horseshoe prints swept away by horse-drawn bush branches. ”

"What do you mean ......"

"It seems that there are other people besides us who are also looking for her," Perry straightened up, as if interested, "deliberately erasing her tracks, hmph, such a trick to hide his head and tail, but I don't know which group of clowns are jumping off the beam." ”

As soon as Perry finished speaking, there was a slight sound of horses' hooves in the valley, and a cavalryman in military uniform staggered off his horse, and a feathered arrow was stuck in his back, which was so deep that he was about to die.

At this moment, he was shouting something hoarsely: "Big ...... My lord, there is an ambush ...... ahead."

"What's going on?" Barr saw this, and immediately stepped forward, only to find that the scout had struggled a few times, and his breath was gone, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"My lord, look ......"

Seeing this, Perry didn't seem to panic, but sighed slightly, "It's also my fault for being too careless, it's just a pity for a loyal soldier in my empire,"

After speaking, he strode forward like this, looked at the empty valley, and said coldly: "Since the person who killed me, don't you dare to come out?"

As soon as the words fell, a few bowstrings sounded in the bushes not far away, and more than a dozen cold arrows flew out in response, and the first arrow was like lightning and fire, shooting straight at Perry.

The sound of "boom" breaking through the air, coupled with the speed of the eagle feather iron arrow, the power of this arrow made people tremble just by looking at it, and everyone didn't even have time to react, the bow and arrow were almost close at hand.

A crisp metal crash echoed through the valley, and Perry held his spear, as if he had just inadvertently parried, and the arrow was deflected to the side of the stone wall.

But even so, the residual momentum is unabated, and after the arrow rubs out the sparks on the stone wall, it actually plunges into the stone wall to a depth of more than an inch!

The cavalry on the horse also reacted at this time, and Barr's face was gloomy, and he immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" and drew his saber and swung it, blocking the cold arrows fired in all directions.

Although they were unexpectedly attacked by a sneak attack, the elite of these central armies immediately showed the quality of soldiers who had been honed all year round, and the small cavalry team of only a dozen people did not panic too much at the moment, but while resisting and retreating, they paid attention to the direction of the cold arrow.

Baal's eyes were even more vicious, and he locked on to a few bushes at a glance, and while fighting and retreating, he even drew his bow and arrows, and even pulled the bow to organize a counterattack, which was quite hideous and fierce.

Perry didn't care about this, he turned over and rode on his war horse, and his whole body immediately became full of fighting energy, and the whole person was like a raging flame, ignoring the oncoming rain of arrows, and rushed straight towards the farthest bushes with a cold face!

Silver vindictive!!

Seeing this scene, whether it was the cavalry on the horse, or the assassin hiding in the shadows, almost everyone was taken aback, the silver fighting spirit, which meant that only high-level knights could have a strong fighting spirit.

The rain of arrows immediately fell around Perry, but Perry's fighting spirit protected his body, and as soon as the cold arrow encountered the surging fighting energy, it was immediately bounced off or even broken!

In the blink of an eye, Perry had already rushed to the bushes alone, and most of the ambushes hiding in the bushes were archers, unable to react at such a close distance.

Perry didn't hesitate at all, urging the fighting spirit into the steel spear in his hand, a horizontal spear, galloping through the horse, the sharp silver fighting qi was like a huge blade, instantly slashing at the archer in the bushes.

I only heard a loud "boom", and the bushes were cut by Perry's strong fighting spirit, and they were immediately shattered, and the branches and leaves, along with the limbs of the ambush soldiers, were instantly stopped and broken!

A few terrible screams were mixed with painful groans, and Perry's body was suddenly stained with a lot of blood, but there was almost no hesitation, he turned his horse around, and struck another heavy blow at another bush!

This time, the fighting spirit was like an arrow from the string, directly smashed into the grass, and at the same time that the scattered fighting spirit exploded, the ambushes didn't even have time to scream, and a bush was already blown to pieces.

Perry succeeded in two blows, killing at least dozens of people at once, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of the cavalry behind him, and the ambush soldiers on the opposite side saw that this killing god was so terrifying, how could they have any fighting spirit?

For a while, the roles of the two groups of people immediately reversed, and more than a dozen cavalrymen, inspired by Perry's imposing offensive, only felt the blood boiling in their chests, and they wanted to immediately swing their knives and cut off the enemy's heads.

The ambush of nearly 100 people lost almost half of them, and the rest were frightened by Perry's momentum one by one, and they retreated and fled one after another.

"It's the Macedonians!" Barr was stunned for a moment when he saw the clothes on the fleeing ambush soldiers, and then gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill all these damned aliens!"

Since there was a deserter, it was difficult for the others to hold on, and soon, the remaining dozens of people were immediately defeated, except for a few scattered ambushes who were still making weak resistance, and most of the rest rushed to flee for their lives.

Seeing this, Barr was not in a hurry, and immediately gathered the formation organization, more than a dozen people lined up in a column, drew their scimitars and rushed forward, looking at the largest crowd, one charge can harvest at least a dozen people's lives.

After a few charges, the team immediately dispersed, relying on the mobility of the cavalry and the heavy attack of the horse charge, one by one to catch up with the scattered deserters, and then kill them one by one.

Perry did not participate in the rest of the battle, he already knew very well that his two charges had broken the enemy's morale, and the rest of the slaughter was just left to his subordinates.

Hmph! Macedonians?

Gently wiping away the blood from the gun, Perry sighed slightly for a moment, and finally showed a grim look on his handsome face.

"Leave a few alive, and the rest will be killed!"
