Chapter Seventy-Two: Sudden Encounter with the Enemy
Hearing the proclamation of his own soldiers, Deng Yu gave an order calmly. "Prepare for battle! Send scouts to find out the enemy's situation, and order the cavalry battalion to be dispatched, which is bound to destroy all the enemy troops. ”
The soldiers clenched their fists, and after receiving the order, they quickly beat their horses and galloped forward.
At this time, Ye Yu heard the whistle from the Spirit Department, and hurriedly rushed back to the Spirit Department team.
After a while, he reined in his war horse by the side of the cold horse and asked suspiciously, "Han Qizheng, what's the situation?" ”
Han Li grimaced his face and raised his hand to point into the distance. "Look! Ahead is a border village, and the smoke rising indicates that the village has been burned. ”
"Burning the village?"
Ye Yu was startled, and when he looked around, he saw several puffs of gray-black smoke rushing into the air.
"Damn! It must have been done by the Tibetan barbarians. Han Li clenched his fists and shouted resentfully.
Ye Yu thought for a while and said puzzledly: "The remnants of Tubo dare to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty? ”
At this time, Jiang Wu reminded: "Wei Chief, there is no border army stationed in this area, and the Tubo Department in Western Xinjiang often crosses the border to graze. In previous years, they were afraid of the imperial court and did not dare to make trouble, but at this time, the two sides were at war, so they were naturally unscrupulous. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yu was stunned, and looked into the distance through the smoke.
According to the map, a hundred miles away is the first small city in Tibet, could it be that this group of barbarians still played the strategy of clearing the wilderness?
His gaze fell, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy as he watched nearly a hundred scouts galloping towards the village to investigate.
Soon after, the scouts who had entered the village suddenly stopped moving, and even the sound of horses' hooves stopped abruptly.
Ye Yu's eyebrows jumped, and he said with a bad premonition: "Something is wrong!" ”
Han Li on the side frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Yu hurriedly dismounted, supported the ground with his hands after squatting, and analyzed: "More than 100 scouts didn't even make a single movement with people and horses, and that village was only smoking, but there was no fire at all. ”
Han Li smiled: "Haha, we are so far away, it's normal that we don't hear movement." ”
Since Ye Yu cultivated his spiritual sense, his perception has become much stronger, and although he is less than a few hundred meters away, he can still sense a little movement.
He stood up and stared ahead, his face growing more and more solemn.
Sure enough, not long after, two horses came out of the village and rushed towards the front army like crazy.
"Something's wrong!" Seeing this, Ye Yu quickly got on the horse and shouted in a deep voice.
Hearing his shout, Mu Ying in the Spirit Department queue wrinkled her eyebrows, staring at the two horses from far and near.
A moment later, the two scouts entered the front army with frightened faces and blood covered in blood.
A scout with a hideous wound on his face shouted loudly after seeing the general in the battalion: "General, there is a demon...... Sorcery! ”
The cavalry general is a general, he doesn't believe in these, he has even seen the magic of the spirit clan, what kind of demon magic do he care?
He waved his whip at the babbling scout and shouted, "What demon? Met the Elvein? Tell the fuck clearly! ”
The scout was already a little delirious by this time, and the look of fear on his face was growing stronger.
He stepped off the war horse and was in a commotion, and in the blink of an eye, the scout suddenly rolled his eyes, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground in a daze.
And the war horse that lost its owner also showed a vision, foam kept coming out of its mouth, and its front hooves were frantically scraping the ground.
Before the soldiers could react, the war horse also fell to the ground with a bang, and blood foamed from its mouth instantly.
At this time, a cavalryman hurriedly dismounted to investigate, and after a while, his face turned pale, and he said in horror: "Death...... Dead, scared to death! ”
The general's expression changed when he heard this, and his gaze immediately shifted to the other scout.
The scout's expression suddenly turned painful when he saw his companion's tragic death, and his face instantly turned red.
He grabbed the mouth of his clothes with both hands, and his mouth was hot.
His head began to smoke in front of everyone's eyes, and flames erupted from the holes in his facial features, which burned from the inside out in a blink of an eye.
"Ahh
With a miserable scream, even the people and horses were instantly burned to ashes.
"Shhh
Witnessing this scene, the faces of the five thousand cavalry suddenly changed greatly, and those who got close hurriedly urged the horses to retreat.
For a time, the hearts of the entire former military generals were shrouded in a layer of haze.
"Really...... Is there really a demon law? ”
One of the soldiers next to the general widened his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Shut up!" Seeing this, the general shouted: "Where did the demon law come from in the world? At best, it's just a magic of the Spirit Race, why are you panicking? ”
Having said that, in recent years, the Spirit Race has rarely appeared, and the new generation has only learned about the existence of this race from their parents.
Most people don't have the opportunity to experience the spirit arts, and they will naturally be terrified when they witness the strange scene in front of them.
At this time, Ye Yu stared at the incident point, and his forehead was almost twisted.
He knew very well that the two scouts did not have any spiritual power fluctuations, and they were obviously not killed by the spirit clan's magic skills.
He glanced at Han Li, who agreed with the general's statement, and said lightly: "Brother Han, this is not a spirit clan magic!" ”
"Huh?" Han Li was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What else can this sign be if it's not a spirit race?" ”
Ye Yu didn't think about it, so he blurted out. "There are no spiritual power fluctuations in this at all, if it is really a spirit race, it is impossible not to leave ......"
Hearing this, Han Li frowned, and hurriedly said, "How do you know that there are no spiritual power fluctuations?" You're not a mid-level ......."
Mu Ying looked at Ye Yu deeply, waved his hand to interrupt the cold calendar, and then said loudly to the general: "This department has not noticed the spirit wave, this is not the spirit clan's magic!" ”
Ye Yu felt Mu Ying's gaze, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he realized that he had missed his mouth.
Everyone knew that lower-level spirits did not have the ability to detect spiritual power fluctuations, and only sixth-rank and above spirits had this ability.
Fortunately, it did not attract everyone's attention, and everyone's attention was focused on Mu Ying.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shrunk his body, thinking that he could no longer be in the limelight.
Hearing Mu Ying's words, the general looked stunned, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He glanced at Mu Ying, and then shouted: "No matter what kind of demons and monsters it is, it will be scattered under the charge of a certain iron horse." ”
"Wu Shen ......"
"Mu Zhixiu has to say more, don't disturb our army's heart." General Wu raised his hand to stop Mu Ying, and shouted with a solemn expression: "Guerrilla Zhang! ”
"The last general!"
A swarthy warrior urged his horse out of the ranks, and resolutely answered with his fists clenched.
General Wu pointed to the village in the distance, and ordered in a cold voice: "You lead a thousand iron horsemen to level it!" ”
Guerrilla Zhang lowered his head heavily, turned his head sideways and shouted at the cavalry under his command: "Brothers, go into battle with the general to kill the enemy." ”
"Drink!"
For a time, nearly 1,000 war horses came out of the ranks, and the soldiers on horseback shouted in unison, following Zhang's guerrilla and rushing towards the village.
Mu Ying wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at General Wu with a worried face.
"Hehe, don't worry! It's just a small village, and a single charge can wipe out the enemy in it. General Wu said with a smile on his face.
Seeing a thousand cavalry running wildly, Mu Ying said coldly: "The enemy situation in front is unknown, and it is not a wise general to rush to send troops." ”
