Chapter 2074 The Yanlong Change (Part 2)
"Whoosh!"
"Pfft!"
This arrow shot out from nowhere instantly pierced the young cavalry's forehead, and red and white brains burst out, extremely bloody.
Captain Biao, whose face was spattered with blood, stared blankly at the body that slowly fell from the horse, his mind going blank.
The soldiers around him were also in a state of confusion and had no idea what was going on.
Just a moment later, the commander howled with a trembling voice:
"Enemy attack!"
Years of military experience told him that there must be ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides, and he would be in big trouble today.
"Enemy attack~"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Whoosh~"
"Chi chi chi~"
"Ahhhh~"
Before he could finish his words, arrows were shot out from the dense forests on both sides, blocking all the paths for the cavalry to travel.
These unprepared scouts were hit by arrows one after another and had no time to make a gesture of resistance.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Chi chi chi~"
Although the rain of arrows was not dense, it was extremely accurate. Almost no arrows missed. It seemed that the ambush was hiding very close.
These scouts belonging to the Yan family fell off their horses one after another, and even the scout leader was hit by two arrows. Blood bloomed in the jungle, and screams could be heard everywhere.
"Swish swish~"
"Ahhhh~"
There were only twenty or thirty people, and they all died very quickly. From the beginning to the end, they did not see the figure of the ambush, only the arrows that were killing people kept flying out.
Dozens of people just handed over their lives here without any explanation.
The jungle that was noisy just now soon became quiet. Dozens of corpses were lying on the ground, and horses were running wildly.
The smell of blood filled the air little by little.
Most of the soldiers never had the chance to pull out the saber from their waists until they died.
It was only then that a masked man in black walked out from the jungle on both sides.
Some people were carrying crossbows, and some were holding bright scimitars, and their sharp eyes were scanning the corpses.
"Puff~Puff~"
A figure vomiting blood caught their attention. The man had a long life. He was hit by two arrows in the chest and was still alive. He looked at these men in black with despair.
He raised his head with all his strength and glanced at the arrow stuck in his chest. The arrow shaft was a bit rough.
This is the standard arrow shaft of the Long Army.
It was the Long Army that attacked them secretly!
The commander stared hard at the man in black who was walking towards him step by step. He didn't understand why the Long Army wanted to sneak attack them. Didn't the two sides always coexist peacefully?
The man in black finally stopped beside the commander and asked softly:
"Have you fought at the border? Have you killed barbarians?"
"Puff~Puff~"
The commander did not respond except spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, but the man in black got a definite answer from his eyes.
The man in black murmured:
"I don't want to kill you, but I have to, I'm sorry."
There was a flash of regret in the eyes of the man in black, but it soon turned cold again.
The commander became more and more confused as to why this guy spoke so strangely. Inadvertently, he saw the scimitar in the man's hand, his pupils shrank instantly, and he said in shock:
"You are cool..."
"laugh!"
Without giving him a chance to finish his words, the machete fell straight from his head, slit the leader's throat, and killed him with one stab.
"Do you recognize it~"
The face shrouded in a black mask seemed to be sneering: "But it doesn't matter, no one will know anyway."
There were corpses all around, and all the talking Yan Jiajun had closed their mouths.
A man in black, carrying a knife, walked up to him quietly and said in a deep voice:
"Head, it's been confirmed, there are no survivors.
In addition, traces of Long Army scouts were found five miles southeast, do we want them?"
"Oh? What a coincidence."
The leading man sneered:
"Let's go, don't let anyone go."
"promise!"
…
Time passes little by little, from day to dusk, from dusk to night, and then to a new day.
The dead bodies lying on the jungle road gradually became cold and stiff.
The smell of blood in the mountains and forests also dissipated under the blowing autumn wind, and except for the corpses on the ground, there was no longer any sign of a war.
Finally, in the evening of the second day, a burst of rapid horse hooves broke the silence of the forest.
"Da da da~"
Another group of Yan family scouts appeared here, and the faces of the cavalrymen on horseback seemed a little anxious.
When they saw the corpses on the ground, their eyes became cold and cold. At the same time, more than ten riders split up and went to search the jungle on both sides.
The scouts had not returned since they had gone out, and the cavalrymen came to find them. Although they were found, they had already turned into cold corpses.
They have been stationed on Tianning Road for so long, and this is the first time that the entire scout team has been intercepted and killed.
The leading captain waved his hand:
"Search to see if there are any survivors!"
"promise!"
A famous cavalryman dismounted and began to search carefully.
The captain's face was gloomy, and his eyes kept scanning these corpses. How could such a good person die?
Who did it?
The first thing that came to his mind was Long Jun.
Judging from the appearance of the dead bodies, they were all killed by arrows. There was no sign of close combat. The ambush soldiers were obviously well-trained soldiers. Ordinary bandits and bandits did not have this ability.
Soon, a soldier trotted over and said in a deep voice:
"Boss! Twenty-four people were there, all killed, no one left alive.
The jungles on both sides were also searched and some footprints were found. They should have been ambushing our scouts here in advance, but there were no traces of identification left.
This is the feather arrow found on the body."
The captain took the arrow that was still stained with blood, glanced at it and said with certainty:
"Damn it, Long Jun's arrows are indeed from these bastards!"
The Yan Army and the Long Army were both soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty. Their bows and crossbows were actually the same, and he could recognize them at a glance.
A commander beside him looked solemn and asked in a deep voice:
"Boss, what is the purpose of the Long Army's sneak attack on our scouts?
Are we going to go to war with our army? Shouldn’t we? Didn’t we sign an alliance long ago?”
"don't know."
The captain shook his head and said: "This is not something we should consider. All we have to do is report the news quickly. Don't let the Long Army make any big moves."
The captain always had a premonition in his heart that something big was going to happen.
The man closed his mouth silently, feeling uneasy in his heart.
They originally stayed in Tianning Road and lived a comfortable life every day without going to the front lines to fight. But now if they fight together, countless people will die~
"Let's go!"
The captain no longer hesitated, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and said:
"Go back immediately, and send messages to other scouts. Please be careful and don't get into trouble again!"
