Chapter 172: Dark Arrow

The battle in the woods is different from the plains and mountains. Under the command of the big and small leaders, all the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect also lined up in formation, opening the way with a shield and a shield, followed by a sword and shield hand, then a spearman, and finally an archer. Sikong Xuan followed the archers and slowly marched forward.

After entering the forest, it was too dark to see too far, and the formation was a little untidy, and I don't know which leader suggested lighting torches.

As soon as the disciples thought about it, they all reasoned, and they directly lit the torch. In an instant, a large area was illuminated, only to find that his army was somewhat fragmented by trees, and the formation was a little sparse.

The leader who proposed to light the torch shouted to all the disciples to gather and prepare to form another formation. More than a thousand disciples of the Heavenly King Sect all gathered in the direction of Sikong Xuan's location according to the words, and it took the boss's effort and more than ten big trees to finally gather together.

Just after the assembly was completed, the leader was about to order the army to continue marching, when suddenly countless bows and arrows were shot from the dark woods around him. These arrows are specifically thrown at the place where the fire is shining, and there is no need for aim, and the rain of arrows covers them, like harvesting wheat, and they fall down one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect had already shot hundreds of people without even seeing the faces of the Beji people, and the army of more than a thousand people instantly became sparse and sparse, with dead and wounded. In the woods, the wails of these Heavenly King Sect disciples were constantly heard, obviously those who were injured but not dead.

When Sikong Xuan was attacked by the rain of arrows, he had already alertly hid behind a big tree, which was dark, so he was spared.

At this time, seeing that his side had suffered heavy losses, Sikong Xuan shouted: "A group of stupid people, quickly extinguish the torches, aren't you sending targets to the enemy like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of powerful bows and arrows shot over. Although Sikong Xuan was injured, it was not something that ordinary martial arts masters could deal with, he directly listened to the wind to identify the position, probed with his hand, grabbed all these arrows in his hand without falling, and then directly used his true qi to shoot back according to the direction from which he came.

After these dozens of arrows shot back at a faster speed than when they came, there were more than a dozen muffled grunts from the dark woods, apparently killed by Sikong Xuan.

Seeing this, the surviving disciples of the Heavenly King Sect immediately extinguished their torches and hid in the woods, not daring to move. One of the surviving leaders touched Sikong Xuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Sikong Hall Master, now that our people have died at least half of them after the rain of arrows just now!"

"Hmph! Our cavalry is a new force! And the Beji people are a tired army! As long as we can hold on here, hold them back, and prevent them from escaping, when the army behind us catches up, we will definitely be able to pursue them!" Sikong Xuan calmly analyzed.

"But we don't know anything about fighting in the mountains and forests! These Beji people are extremely cunning, hiding in the shadows and keeping silent, just waiting for us to show their flaws!" the leader said softly.

"Hmph, don't you know how to listen to the wind?" Sikong Xuan reprimanded, "When there is a sound from the other side, send someone to shoot and pursue! Anyway, we can afford it, they can't afford it! After two major battles, they must have added a lot of wounded and need treatment urgently! As long as we drag them, it will be victory! You send some people to tell me to pass on the people behind me and tell them to hurry up, we are here, and the Beji people are consumed!"

"Yes!" Sikong Xuan is the hall master after all, and he has a lot of prestige among the Heavenly King Sect, although there are people who have been constantly admonishing him just now, but they have all become dead people. This leader can also see that Harichi was directly killed by Sikong Xuan, and the second leader can be regarded as indirectly dying at Sikong Xuan's hands, and now if he continues to admonish, he will inevitably die. Anyway, Sikong Xuan is right, as long as it is consumed, sooner or later, the Beji people will not be able to consume their own side.

When they were impatient to kill, although the brothers were not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, they would not really be defeated by them.

At the moment, the leader was very aware of the current affairs, and directly led the order to arrange personnel to find out of the woods, and then carefully arranged his subordinates to be on guard, and dispatched more than 100 elite disciples to be on standby at any time to hunt down and kill places with sounds. In the end, some disciples were arranged to rescue those Zhongjian disciples who were not dead.

Under the dispatch of this leader, the surviving disciples of the Heavenly King Sect gradually calmed down again, and they all knew what Sikong Xuan had just said from the leader's mouth, and they all felt very reasonable, and they all did what they were supposed to do according to their orders.

After paying some price, the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect finally settled everything, and after those disciples who were injured but not dead were transferred out of the woods, this pitch-black forest gradually returned to silence, even if there were insects and birds, there was nothing.

In the woods, the atmosphere was quiet and terrifying, and many Heavenly King Sect disciples were also full of confidence at the beginning, but in the end they became impetuous, and they couldn't help but prepare to kill from the ambush.

The leader also saw that it was not good, and immediately ran back to Sikong Xuan to ask for instructions, and said: "Hall Master, everyone has been panicked by this ghost forest, you see ......."

"It's already been a cup of tea, and within two pillars of incense, the follow-up reinforcements will definitely arrive, you go and appease the brothers for me! Persistence is victory, we can't let these many brothers die in vain, and we can't let go of those Beji turtle grandchildren!" Sikong Xuan also knew that this was an extraordinary time, and couldn't help but whisper to reassure.

The leader heard that the reinforcements would arrive soon, so he nodded at the moment and quietly passed on Sikong Xuan's words. Most of the disciples who were a little impetuous gradually calmed down again.

A very small number of disciples who couldn't bear it howled and were about to rush into the depths to kill, but they were directly shot on the spot by several sharp arrows.

In a short time, more than a dozen disciples were killed by arrows from nowhere, and all the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect were silent, and they no longer dared to move. And Sikong Xuan also relied on his extraordinary martial arts cultivation to shoot several archers in the shadows with hidden weapons.

After another stick of incense, the people of Xu Beji could no longer hold on, and there was a noise in the depths of the forest. The leader was overjoyed, and directly sent more than 100 elite disciples to kill as slightly as possible.

These disciples are all carefully selected, not necessarily how high their martial arts are, but most of them are astute and good disciples. At this time, they walked in the deep forest, and like the Begi people, they did not make much noise, but walked towards the sound of the sound in the depths.

But after walking for a long time, there was a sudden terrible howl, and these Heavenly Kings sent disciples to look at it, and found that at some point, more than a dozen disciples had fallen into a deep pit, and were directly killed by the wooden spears buried in the pit. Only one disciple was lucky enough to fall on his companion, and with this obstacle, he jumped out of the pit with light skills.

Before he had time to rejoice, this disciple had just come out of the pit, and he didn't know where the mechanism was triggered, and countless arrows suddenly shot out, although these disciples stood relatively open, but they were still directly killed by this wave of arrows.

Seeing the tragic death of their companions, all the surviving disciples of the Heavenly King Sect were all apprehensive and unstrong-willed, and they had all quietly retreated, taking advantage of the lack of attention of their companions in front of them, and slipped towards the back. But before he could take a few steps, he was killed on the spot by several people who appeared out of nowhere.

These people cooperated tacitly, one fell directly from the sky, covering the mouth of the fleeing man, and a different number of knives and axes appeared, directly hacking the fleeing person to death. It wasn't until it was confirmed that the person had breathed that he lifted the body and carefully moved it into the deep forest.

In this way, more than a dozen disciples of the Heavenly King Sect died tragically! In the blink of an eye, the pursuit force of more than 100 people selected by the leader had only less than 70 disciples left. And these disciples didn't know how many of their own people were left, so they just continued to kill according to the sound.

Along the way, there were bumps and bumps, bumped into several traps, and after paying more than 30 lives, the remaining 30 people finally rushed to the location of the sound source.

But after arriving here, these disciples were directly dumbfounded, and they found that where were the Beji people who fled for their lives in embarrassment, but some well-armored and well-equipped warriors. These warriors all deliberately made noises to lure these Heavenly King disciples here.

At this time, when the remaining disciples of the Heavenly King Sect saw this scene, they didn't know that they had been fooled, and they all turned around directly, preparing to flee with light skills. However, the group of warriors who did not know the origin were indeed well-trained, and they directly walked out of the darkness and walked out of the warriors who were several times the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect, surrounded these disciples of the Heavenly King Sect, and killed them on the spot.

The disciples of the Heavenly King Sect were not good at fighting in the forest, secondly, they only cared about fleeing for their lives, thirdly, the number of people was too small, and fourthly, the equipment was not as good as that of these warriors, and they were directly chopped into pulp by these warriors without any damage, and they only had time to let out bursts of terrible screams, and nothing else could be done.

After the death of these Heavenly King Sect disciples, peace returned to the forest. Only the mood of the disciples of the Heavenly King Sect became heavier and heavier. Sikong Xuan also didn't expect this Beji person to be so terrifying, in this pitch-black woods, he could be so powerful! Although he could accurately grasp Zilong's location through the Gu worm, he didn't dare to take risks alone.

Although the Beji people only have more than 600 tired warriors, the two masters of Zilong and Hu Dulu are not the ones that the current Sikong Xuan can despise. The cloud mist palm was extremely consumed, and it was broken by Hu Dulu with that shameless method, and Sikong Xuan was now just forcibly suppressing the internal injuries.

If Sikong Xuan dared to touch it alone now, in such an environment, he really didn't dare to guarantee that he could defeat the alliance of Zilong and Hu Dulu alone.

But retreating Sikong Xuan was even more unwilling, he could only hope for the army behind. This time, he brought more than half of the left-behind people to encircle and suppress Hu Dulu, and the total number was at least more than 8,000. After two great battles, the number of dead and wounded was about two thousand, and there were one thousand in this wood, and the rest was still five thousand. As soon as the 5,000 army arrives, it will be directly crushed in strongly, even if it is three for one, the Beji people will not be able to afford it.

As for the other side, the location of Zilong. He also talked to Hu Dulu quietly: "Lord Hu Dulu is really not mistaken, this army of unknown origin is really aimed at the people of the Heavenly King Sect, but I don't know what the origin of this army is, and it is so good at forest warfare!"

"Yes!" Hu Dulu said in a low voice of admiration, "The forest battle of this army is not only not below our Beji people, but far above our Beji people! Just now, after the people of the Heavenly King Sect were lured out by them, along the way, there were many traps that they had temporarily laid! But being able to lay so many traps in such a short period of time shows that they are terrible!"

"Yes, our people will shoot arrows after the Heavenly King Sect has moved, but they haven't even thought about hiding after shooting! But the people over there can directly find another position after releasing the arrows, and this kind of army must have undergone strict training, not like us!" Asri also added.

"Then what is their origin?" Zilong was also quite curious, how could this army be better at fighting in the mountains and forests than the Beji people. You must know that the Beji people have retained the tradition of fighting in the mountains and forests because they originated from the Northeast Ya people. In the Hetao Plain, there are not many mountains and forests, but more plains.

Many tribes, even if they are trained, are targeted training in the way of riding and archery, rather than fighting in the mountains and forests, why is this army even better than the Beji people?

"Better than us, then there is only one conclusion!" Hu Dulu whispered, "They are not from the tribe of the Hetao grassland!"

"Oh, not on the grassland, where did that come from?" Asli was slightly shocked when she heard this, she had grown so big, she had never been out of the river loop, although she had heard her father talk about the outside world, but after all, she had not seen it, so she couldn't imagine where this army came from!

"Beyond the Hetao is the desert, which is the territory of the Mongols! Since the Mongols retreated to the desert, they have only practiced cavalry and archery, and it is certainly impossible for this army to fight in the mountains and forests to come from Mongolia! Moreover, if the Wang faction cooperates with the Ordos Department today, the ordinary Mongol tribes will not provoke Ordos, even if they are Tatars, they will not!" Hu Dulu slowly analyzed.

"What does Lord Hu Dulu mean that these people are from Daming?" Zilong said in slight surprise, a figure gradually flashed in his mind, but as soon as he appeared, he shook his head and cleared his mind directly.
