Chapter 379: Howling Plunder
If this soldier had appeared earlier, jumping out and shouting before Li Yunxin had said those words, perhaps one sentence would have caused chaos in the camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 But at this moment, Li Yunxin's words were still in their ears, so the sergeants did not panic for a while when they saw him like this and heard his words. It's everyone who looks at the "Mixed Yuanzi Dao Chief" first, and then looks at his team.
But the deserter had no intention of scheming with them. Shouting that was probably just a knee-jerk reaction. Seeing that they were indifferent, he did not pay any attention to them, and jumped off the hill to pass through their camp.
At that time, I could see his appearance clearly - according to the style of the clothes and armor on this person, it seemed that he was not a soldier of Qingguo. He had blood on his shoulders and legs, and it didn't look like his own. He was holding a short knife in his hand, but the knife was clean, so it could be seen that he probably saw that the situation was not good, turned around and fled.
Therefore - he has no weapon in his hand. If a soldier from a certain country rushed over like this on a normal day, he would have been shot on the spot without saying a word.
But because they had also seen demons before, Ding Min just shouted in a deep voice: "Take it for me!"
It's easy to take him. He was already stumbling - a soldier stretched out his leg and stumbled, and fell on the ground and ate. When he was about to get up again, the two big men had already pressed him up and held him down.
This guy was probably really scared - he immediately struggled desperately, and shouted: "There's a monster! Can't you hear me! You don't want to let me go, ah!"
While shouting and struggling desperately, the two of them couldn't hold him back. Xu Mou immediately got up and walked to him, bent down and snapped, snapped, snapped, and gave him four slaps, which knocked him dizzy and stopped shouting.
Then he looked at him sternly: "Where are you soldier? What monsters did you meet? Where are your people?"
But the little soldier was stunned for a moment, only staring at him and unable to speak. Ding Min also stood up and frowned slightly: "Listening to the accent of his speech, it should be from Yeguo." ”
Then he turned his head and looked around, and suddenly his face changed: "Get up!"
-- Footsteps were heard in the woods. It sounds like a lot of people, eager but not cluttered. When I walked through the forest with yellow leaves, I made a rustling sound, and for a moment I couldn't tell how many people there were. Four scouts had died last night, and they had only stopped for a short time at noon, so they didn't send out the sentry.
When everyone listened to Ding Min's words, grabbed their armor and weapons, and just stood up, they suddenly saw a little cold light flashing in the forest!
It must have been the sun's rays reflected by the bright iron - and the next moment, with a whoosh, a feathered arrow burst through the air, pierced through the gap between the bodies of the two soldiers who were pressing the soldiers of the Naye Kingdom, and nailed him to the ground!
This arrow is different from the arrows used by the Qing soldiers - the shaft is thicker and longer, and the tail feathers are also black. At this moment, the two men who pressed the little soldier were stunned with fright, only to see that half of the arrow had gone into the ground, and their tails were buzzing and fluttering. This arrow was so cruel and ruthless that the back of the little soldier immediately shot him to death.
The panicked soldier rushing to the camp was already a taboo when marching. And now the man who fired the arrow shot the captives in their camp with one arrow, and it was almost like a declaration of war. Seeing that it was a mortal method rather than some demon method, these Qingguo soldiers were not very afraid.
A few fire chiefs gave an order, and these forty or so people immediately formed a formation. Without saying a word, the fiery archers under Xu Mou's hands bent their bows and shot flat into the forest. This round is not to hurt people, but to suppress the momentum of the comer. Sure enough, I immediately heard someone in the forest shouting: "...... Dare to shoot arrows! What a bold man -- where are the miscellaneous soldiers!"
Hearing this accent, Ding Min and Xu Mou glanced at each other, and at the same time whispered: "Leaving the country." ”
Liguo is the largest country in the world, and there is a long and narrow country between it and Qingguo. But this does not mean that the two sides do not border each other - the territory of the country of departure protrudes out from the east to the south, facing both the country of Ye and the country of Qing, like a knife inserted into the body of both.
And Ding Min used to guard the border land, and it was that border land that he guarded - the military strength of the country was strong, and there were no large-scale wars in the countries in peacetime, so those soldiers often had idle troubles. Occasionally, picking quarrels and provoking trouble at the border is something that the generals acquiesce into.
Because there is no war in the world, we must always train our troops. Soldiers can't always fight bandits in training -- what is the difference between bandits and newly captured strong men in the eyes of the regular army?
As a result, there are occasional skirmishes at the border, which are also some kind of rehearsal that is acceptable to both sides.
So Ding Min knew that because the country was located in the north, the people who left the country were taller and thicker than the people of Yeguo and Qingguo, and their temperament was also arrogant. This can be seen from the feathered arrows they use—the shafts of which are longer and thicker than those of the Qing army.
Now they are in a position that is not very far from the frontier land from the country. It is not surprising that the soldiers who have left the country are here - it is indeed their arrogant style. It's just that...... How did you kill the soldiers of the country?
Ding Min raised his hand and told the archers to stop firing arrows. Then he said loudly: "This is under the banner of the Daqing Zhichong Arms Battalion, which way from the country is in the forest?"
There was no immediate response to him. It took about a dozen breaths before a figure slowly appeared in the forest. Look at it this way...... There were quite a few people, nearly 100 of them. These people stood on the hill, with the sun on their backs, and looked slightly condescendingly. They wore black armor and leather helmets. However, the leather helmet is pressed very low, and the outline of the face is mostly angular, so it looks very solemn and cold.
About twenty archers, with bows and arrows, aimed at them. There were also about forty heavily armored soldiers—Ding Min recognized them as the outfits of the departing heavy cavalry. It's just that right now in the woods, probably they abandoned their horses and walked. The rest are sword and shield bearers and spearmen, and the configuration of the Qingjun is not very different.
However, these people looked at them coldly and did not speak, and they were bigger than Qingjun, and the pressure in the forest on this autumn afternoon also made it difficult for people to breathe.
After such a stalemate of half-burnt incense, a strong man with a helmet and armor walked to the front of the forest, his chin was shaved iron, he glanced at Li Yunxin first, then at Ding Min, and said loudly: "You are so bold." Dare to shoot an arrow at me leaving the army. Folding the arms word battalion? ha. ”
When he said this, he burst out laughing: "Does anyone still have the face to mention this name? Thousands of people have been completely annihilated in one wave in Hongshi Gorge -- this is already a joke of all armies! You southern barbarians, you can't fight, you can die!"
When he said this, Qingjun was immediately furious. But Ding Min raised his hand again and didn't ask them to speak. only said with a straight face: "Ding Min is in the next team." Who is your Excellency?"
The military system of leaving the army is different from that of the Qing army, with 100 people as one capital and the head of the capital. Judging by the number of people they have now, it should be the strength of Yidu. But Yan Er was in the middle of the formation and said angrily: "Boss, what did these bastard bastards say? Let me teach them a lesson!"
Dan Ding Min turned his face slightly and said in a low voice, "Take your arrows." These people ...... Tough. ”
In fact, what I want to say is "not their opponent". Heavy cavalry were rare in any army - there were forty heavy cavalry in this one. Ding Min had seen this kind of army when he was in the border area -- the people who left the country called them the Howling Army. The heavy armoured soldiers had mounts, and the light armoured soldiers and archers had mounts as well - they became light horses. When marching into the army, it comes and goes like the wind, and it is cruel and ruthless. They guard the border all the year round, not only do they not take the border troops of other countries in their eyes, but even if they encounter a caravan leaving the country, if they are in a good mood, they will also plunder. If you are in a good mood, you will probably even kill people.
Right now, he shot and killed the soldiers of the country in front of them. If there is a ferocity...... It's hard to fight and kill. At that point, they won't be able to take advantage of anything.
The head of the departing army repeatedly provoked, but Ding Min was still calm and restrained. So this head seems to be bored. Then he frowned and snorted: "Southern barbarian." There is no egg in the goods. ”
Then he said: "I am the fifth Jing of the head of the Da Li Xiao plundering army. Are you guys transporting red clay? Hmm? Where are you going?"
Hearing his name, Li Yunxin, who was cold-eyed on the side, looked at him twice. Because the "fifth" is a compound surname - almost all those in this world who have a compound surname are royal ancestors. It's just that some of them were hundreds of years ago, and some of them were tens of thousands of years ago. This surname is not common, but he heard it once in Weicheng - the ghost emperor of the Weicheng Waste Palace, the former general Jin Wuwei under the throne of Emperor Lu Zhengyang, the fifth Boyu.
At this time, the Qingguo soldiers were so angry that their necks turned red, but Ding Min still didn't change his face: "It turned out to be the fifth capital." These people are indeed going to Tongtianze to transport red clay - for the world's Xuanmen and for the well-being of the common people. I just heard from this soldier that he has encountered a demon......
Fifth Jing smiled disdainfully: "Hmph." The demons have already been killed by us!"
Then he squinted at the corpse of the Ye army: "This is an eggless goods." I was supposed to be a guide for us in this mountain, but when I saw the demon, I turned around and ran away-deserter, no matter where I fled, it was a dead word. You guys, too, deserters, escaped from the Red Rock Gorge?"
Ding Min said in a deep voice: "We are not deserters. We, were—"
Having said that, the atmosphere has eased a little. Therefore, the next fifth Jing asked arrogantly, Ding Min replied without humility or arrogance, but explained the matter clearly.
Their detachment entered the kingdom of karma from the eastern frontier. Because the whole world is doing things for Xuanmen, the people of Yeguo, Yuguo, and Qingguo go to Tongtianze to transport red clay, and they have to "escort" when they leave the army.
The Fifth Jing capital cruised through the nearby mountains, guided by soldiers from three major countries. Not only do they have secular soldiers, but they also have a Xuanmen sword cultivator. It was also their luck that they did not encounter a big demon with great magical powers, but they all encountered a small miscellaneous fish like the old fox demon before. Xuanmen's sword cultivation did not have much effort to deal with these demons, so these soldiers who left the country slowly became less afraid.
