Chapter 239: Sneak Attack
Yusuf felt his heart pounding out of his throat, but as the leader of the tribe, he had to force himself to calm down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He rinsed the back of his hand with plenty of water, and after a few minutes, the redness and swelling gradually subsided, and he did not feel any other discomfort in his body.
It turned out to be a false alarm, and Yusuf felt that the shock he received today was enough for his heart to beat wildly for the rest of his life.
Looking at the dark woods in front of him, he no longer had the courage to move forward, God knows what else was hidden in it that made people fear.
People cleared the clearing, and more than 10,000 people quietly settled down.
They chewed on cold jerky, and the cold air of the night made them wrap their sheepskin coats tightly, but they did not dare to light the fire for fear of being the target of the enemy's sneak attack.
It was destined to be a long, difficult night.
Yusuf sent a large number of sharp soldiers to stand guard around the area, and waited until late at night, and the intense tiredness made him slowly close his eyelids.
Wow -
There was a slight noise in the darkness in the distance, and Yusuf awoke to find that the people around him were sleeping soundly, and the guards were still not sounding the sound of safety.
This made him sleepy, and he kept cursing Renaud in his heart, a damn coward.
Could it be that he would only use these shady tricks to dare not duel with his cavalry on the battlefield?
Hmm――
A muffled snort came again, and Yusuf heard it this time, and stood up.
He ran towards the place where the sound had just come from, and in the cold moonlight, a dark shadow flickered and disappeared.
The strong smell of blood made him uneasy, and he tried to kick the people lying on the ground with his foot, only to find that their throats had been cut and blood was pouring out.
"It's a sneak attack!"
Yusuf shouted, looking terrifying in the strange woods with mottled shadows.
The soldiers were woken up from their dreams, and had just noisily lit their torches, when out of nowhere a pitch-black crossbow arrow pierced their companions' chests.
"Ahh
A glittering electric light crept out of the bolt, and the soldier who was hit by the arrow lay on the ground in convulsions, watching as a large black hole burned out of his chest.
"The devil, it's the devil!"
Fear spread like a tidal wave through the camp more than a thousand meters long, and they no longer ignored the greeting of the leader, discarded their horses and weapons, and ran out of the woods in a panic.
"Don't run, stop me!"
Yusuf yelled in frustration, but except for the people who were closer to him gathered at him in fear, the people in the distance soon ran away.
The crossbow bolts in the darkness always pinpoint fleeing soldiers, and if they are shot anywhere, the eerie electric light can wrap around their bodies, and then release a fierce heat that burns their bodies.
A soldier who had been shot in the calf lay on the ground in despair, unable to care about the dozens of itchy and painful wounds cut by the spurs on his neck and face.
He saw a pitch-black figure, ghostly peeking out from behind a tree, and then plunged a pitch-black bayonet into his heart.
Before he died, he saw more figures emerge from behind the trees, riding black birds with terrifying faces like those of the devil.
Puff puff puff -
Yousuf gathered more than a thousand people, relying on the cover of horses, to form a fan-shaped defensive circle.
He knew that the fleeing clansmen must be finished, and in such darkness, being chased and killed by that kind of ghost-like enemy, not many people would have a chance to live.
It's all Horton's fault, in order to avoid that horrific explosion, his talent is so scattered.
If more than 10,000 people had gathered together and set up camp, even if they were surrounded on all sides, they would not have ended up in such a situation.
But it was too late to regret it, and he could clearly feel the shadows of the enemy everywhere in the surrounding woods. They were just waiting for the opportunity and then eating the last of his people in one bite.
Even if you die, you must not die so badly!
Yusuf turned his heart sideways, and made people keep throwing torches far away.
In this way, the enemy who comes to sneak up will have nothing to hide. He prepared his longbow and pricked up his ears to listen to everything around him.
Hum -
The sound of the bowstring made an instant, and the feathered arrow instantly pierced through the countless green leaves, into the shoulder of one of the guards, and a second arrow followed, piercing his throat before he could scream.
The two arrows made the surrounding clansmen feel a lot more at ease, at least they knew that the enemy was also an ordinary human, not a devil who could not be killed.
As long as there are enough torches, you can hold out until dawn, and just as Yusuf was secretly calculating, suddenly the flames flashed, and the dull explosions sounded one after another around him.
It's not like that kind of explosion.
Yusuf was about to put his mind at ease, but he noticed something even worse, and a large cloud of smoke rose from the ground and quickly spread around.
The smoke had a strong smell, and it was not only the throat that was choking, but also the eyes that were burning with pain.
He couldn't see anything around him, and could only hear the sound of countless coughs, which were slowly decreasing.
"Ahh
A small leader beside him fell to the ground clutching his stomach, and Yusuf immediately fell to the ground, and the air near the ground carried a hint of dampness, which made him feel a little better.
But the sound of his subordinates falling around him made him want to plunge into the ground.
It was a small slender hand that grabbed him by the neck, and Yusuf got goosebumps all over his body, and stabbed the dagger he had prepared behind him with his backhand, but it stabbed in the cold air.
"Torn. ”
Yusuph's head gurgled and fell to the ground with this faint sound.
Miley's figure receded instantly, as if she didn't want her clothes to be stained with his blood.
After half a night of sneak attacks and pursuits, there was not much left of Yusuf's more than 10,000 troops.
Miley put away her weapon, she shook her hair, and the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose were also thrown out with this action, and this battle was over at this time.
Rao is a battle maniac like her, standing in this bloody hell, still uncomfortable. Because it's not a fair duel, it's more like a one-sided strangulation.
What is it called...... Mistress Renault really likes to say things that people don't understand.
She turned around and gave the signal to close the team.
The torches in the woods were finally completely extinguished, and in the dim sky, Anna rubbed her aching forehead.
She was very tired from a long day of flying, but fortunately, under the guidance of her accurate intelligence, the Black Iron Army and the escort army almost wiped out Yusef's 20,000 people at a very low cost.
But this was only the beginning, and Anna could feel that the truly powerful enemy was still in the mountains in the distance. (To be continued.) )
