Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 51: Self-Casting
"Sir, do you think the enemy will really come?" On the top of a mountain col, there are mountain cols on both sides. At the bottom is a small piece of flat land, which can only allow two horses to pass side by side. Below is a steeper mountain. The stream flows from it.
After passing by, in a hidden place at the top of the mountain col, Captain Seven asked Ling Xin'an.
"Team Six has reported that the enemy is really coming here." Sun Wu said.
"Hehe, that's good!" Captain Seven smiled.
"Are your skin itchy? Do you want to rush forward so much?" Sun Wu said.
"Captain, that's not what I said. The main reason is that the feeling of waiting is uncomfortable!" Captain Seven said.
"Xiao Liu has found out that the enemy is more than twice our size and powerful, so don't take it lightly!" Lu Fengxian said aside.
"Hehe, thanks to your master's clever plan, no matter how many people come, they will all be killed." Captain Ninth said aside.
Ling Xin'an said calmly: "Remember, don't expect any clever tricks at any time. Only your own strength is the foundation."
"Yes, sir!" Everyone said yes quickly.
At this time, members of Team Six appeared in the field of vision, and they were seen approaching cautiously and quickly.
"Sir, they are coming!" Captain Six said immediately after he got down.
"how much longer?"
"Half an hour!"
"good!"
After hearing this, everyone looked serious and stared ahead.
Time passed slowly, and there was a faint sound from the woods ahead. The trees shook slightly, and the barbarians appeared.
"Everyone, pay attention. The first wave is to shoot the horses on the head, and the second wave is to shoot the barbarians so that they cannot ride horses!" Ling Xin'an whispered.
Everyone nodded in unison, and then quietly hid their figures behind the trees. Ling Xin'an remembered the special forces she had watched back then, and specially asked everyone to paint their clothes and faces with colors, and leaned against the trees. It was almost impossible to tell that anyone was hiding.
On the tree trunk.
Converging his body shape and breath, the wind blew by, leaving only the sound of swaying branches.
After more than half a month of trekking, the barbarians no longer were as nervous and cautious as when they first came in. A few days ago, they vaguely felt someone was following them from behind, but then they disappeared. There was no one in the next three days, so
Most of the ghosts looked relaxed at this time and even started talking.
"This time I'm going to rob a few Zhou women and bring them back to give me babies!" A rough man said with a smile.
"They say Dazhou women are fair and tender, I want to snatch a few back." Another one agreed.
"I just want food!" someone said.
Amid all kinds of banter and discussions, we gradually approached the Jiadao Mountain Col.
"Stop!" shouted an order, and the person at the front was sitting on a horse. He was tall and wearing a light yellow costume of the underworld. His long hair was messy. Just looking at his back gave people a strong pressure. Behind him, there were barbarians.
They immediately stopped and looked at that person.
The big man on horseback has a dark face and a thick and messy beard. He is staring ahead and sniffing.
The air seemed to smell something he shouldn't have.
"Chief, is there an ambush?" The same person on the side looked at the mountain pass ahead.
Obviously, the burly man was the leader of this unit. His eyes flickered and he said: "This place is long and narrow on both sides and the road in the middle is narrow. If there is an ambush, it is a good place."
"According to our spies, there were no pursuing troops. At first we suspected that there were enemies following us, but later they didn't. Apparently they must have lost track of us," said the man on the side.
The barbarian leader pondered for a while and said: "Jiadou, you are right, I was overthinking it!"
"The leader is being cautious!" The man named Jia Dou bent down and said.
The large army continued to move forward, but because of the leader's words just now, the army lost interest in talking.
This time when the barbarians entered the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to food, they cared more about women.
There were too few women in the barbarian tribes. More and more barbarian men grew up, but because there were not enough women to reproduce, more and more barbarians in the army began to riot, harassing other tribes from time to time, and even directly annihilating them.
They conquered those small tribes, killed all the men, and robbed the women.
Nuhar was the big leader this time. When he heard that the men behind him were imagining abducting the Zhou women, his heart couldn't help but get hot.
Back then, he also kidnapped Dazhou women. They were so beautiful and fair that he couldn't put them down. He was different from other barbarians. He just wanted to play with Dazhou women. When he got tired of playing with them, he would reward them to his subordinates. For
He has always longed for the big Zhou woman.
In just three days, we will arrive at the town closest to Shuzhou, where there are enough women from the Zhou Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but relax because of his paranoid thoughts. The mountain col in front of him was no longer the strategic place for military strategists before.
The wind was blowing by at this moment, bringing with it the gentle whistling of the forest, and the ripe smell of late autumn, which made the barbarians feel relaxed. More than two hundred troops walked side by side into the mountain col, but it only took a quarter of an hour.
When the wind picked up again, countless shadows suddenly appeared in the sky, and then came the sounds of war horses screaming and scurrying around.
Nuhal felt the shadows flying from both sides, and the scimitar in his hand flashed past, and there was a crisp sound of breaking.
It's a bow and arrow!
There was already a shout in my ears: "Enemy attack!"
The war horse under his crotch was already in a mess. No matter how well-trained it was, the injured part was the head, and it suddenly fell on its back in this narrow mountain road.
No matter how well the war horse is protected, the eyes and lips still have to be exposed. The enemy's target is not the person but the war horse.
Nuhar was furious. Seeing that the enemy could not be seen on the top of the mountain, he was so angry that he immediately raised his horse and galloped towards the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, some of them immediately turned their horses around and charged towards the top of the mountain. Behind them, people kept rolling off their horses. The people and horses were in chaos. Jia Dou shouted: "Abandon the horse and kill the enemy!"
Little did he know that at this moment, a sharp arrow passed through his head, splattering blood all over his face. When he was dying, Jia Dou had a look of disbelief on his face, and his body fell off the horse.
At this time, the bow and arrow had already changed its target and shot towards the crowd.
According to Ling Xin'an's plan, he first disrupted the enemy's rhythm, shot the men first, then the horses, and then shot the men while they were in chaos.
Sure enough, three waves of arrows came down, and almost all the horses were injured and rolled down or scattered everywhere, and the barbarians were in chaos.
When they woke up and headed towards the top of the mountain, arrows began to be aimed at them.
Nuhar didn't hear Jia Dou's screams, and was only furious in his heart. He and his horse headed towards the top of the mountain as one. Behind him, dozens of horses were galloping towards him.
The mountain col is steep but relatively stable. For the barbarians, who are known as the best mounted archers in the world, this is not difficult. Therefore, the distance of 500 feet can be reached halfway up the mountain in one breath.
Puff puff, people kept falling to the ground and dying after being hit by arrows, but for a master like Nuhar, it was obvious that the arrows could not hurt him.
So he clamped his feet hard again, and the war horse jumped up and galloped towards the top of the mountain again. At this moment, a shadow came towards him. It was a sharp bamboo tip inserted upside down, not one, but a row of staggered ones.
flying downwards.
Nuhar's face changed drastically, he kicked off his feet and leaped towards the trees on one side. At this time, his horse screamed from behind. Looking back, he saw that the sharp bamboo tips had pierced the horse's body, not only
His subordinates, as well as those who followed him, screamed in agony. Of course, some of them fell off their horses and fell to the ground desperately, narrowly escaping the disaster.
Nuhar's face was extremely dark purple at this time, and the anger in his heart made him roar in the sky uncontrollably.
Under the attacks of these two groups, more than half of his men had been killed or wounded. Even if they killed all the Zhou people who attacked them later, those war horses would not be enough for them to fight the autumn wind before going back. This mission can be said to be over.
A complete failure.
Even if you fail, I, Hanur, will kill you bastards like you.
Nuhar's whole body burst out with unprecedented murderous intent, and the anger in his heart was beyond words. He flew towards the top of the mountain like a wild goose.
The huge figure was caught by a gust of wind, instantly leaping over several big trees, quickly passing nearly a hundred feet, and reaching the top of the mountain. A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Nuhar's mouth, and he stretched out his hand towards a tree in front of him that was about to settle down.
Leaving the trees, he only needed to borrow a few more trees to leap to the top of the mountain. When the time came, he would not be afraid of his strength.
However, when his feet landed on the tree, suddenly there was a slippage under his feet, and the whole person fell forward. His body fell from the tree, and he was in the air. His face changed drastically. At this time, three bows and arrows shot forward and backward.
The shot came as fast as lightning, and the knife in Nuhar's hand flashed past, but it was just a blow, and there was no way to rely on it. Just when he had just finished his breath and had not yet regained his strength, three bows and arrows shot again, Nuhar
On one side of the void, there was a severe pain in the left shoulder and chest. The whole person fell to the ground. Before he could react, there was severe pain in the entire back. Countless barbs the size of baby arms were hidden in the weeds and were exposed at this time.
It had a ferocious face. Nuhar could not see the ground at all, and was pricked like a hedgehog. Blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth. He stared at the trees on the top of the mountain where no human figure had yet appeared, looking horrified.
From behind, seeing Nuhar dead on the mountainside, the barbarians were completely stunned and panicked.
Their two leaders died like this. At this time, the barbarian troops were already in chaos. Although there were many fewer arrows on them, there were less than a hundred barbarians left.
Hundreds of people versus hundreds of people, Ling Xin'an was not reckless enough to challenge him alone, so he waved his hand, and countless shadows fell straight down from the trees. These were soldiers painted with colored paint and hidden on the top of the trees. No barbarians noticed at all.
, those barbarians who were still rushing to the top of the mountain didn't react before the soldiers falling from the sky struck them with swords.
When the fighting began, Ling Xin'an's troops occupied the geographical advantage and chopped down the enemy from top to bottom. However, the strength of the barbarians was beyond his expectation.
Fortunately, there was no commander, no matter how many barbarians there were, under the encirclement of Ling Xin'an and Sun Wu, they were all slaughtered in less than an hour, and more than thirty lives were lost here.
When the smell of blood filled the mountain col, the screams of horses could be heard at the foot of the mountain, and there was not a single barbarian alive on the battlefield. But Ling Xin'an was not happy at all. It could have been said to be a complete victory, but he did not expect the barbarians' final victory.
The counterattack was so violent that nearly seventy people were killed or injured.
"Clean up the battlefield, cut off their leader's head, find slightly injured horses, let the injured soldiers ride them, and let's go back." Ling Xin'an said.
Chapter completed!
