Chapter 43: The Dark Night Attack, The Course of Killing
The crossbow arrow hit Turushi accurately, only from a distance of more than thirty meters, and the force was so powerful that the crossbow arrow almost penetrated his dog's head.
Without even making a sound, the reconnaissance pacesetter Tulushi leaned back and fell into the snow among the trees.
Guo Dajing drew the arrow again, lay down in the snow and aimed at the next target.
Snow dust filled the air, the night was dark, and there were trees and shrubs blocking the way. The other captives did not notice that their leader, the life-catching king they most admired, had died silently like a wild dog.
Life is fair, whether it is common people, princes or generals, death will not favor anyone, and there will be no special rituals.
A falling stone can kill ordinary soldiers, warriors and generals.
Another Jianlu who entered the woods fell down, and a powerful crossbow arrow shot through his neck. He lay in vain in the snow with his eyes wide open. The blood flowed rapidly, taking away all his strength and warmth.
Guo Dajing moved his position slowly and covertly, set the third prisoner as his target, cocked his crossbow, and waited patiently.
The Jianlu seemed to have noticed something unusual. He did not enter the woods immediately. Instead, under the cover of snow in the bushes outside the forest, he carefully observed and moved closer to Turushi's position.
Guo Dajing was hidden in the woods. Although it was difficult to spot him as he was almost integrated with the snow, his shooting was also affected by the trees.
But he was not in a hurry, nor did he aim after him. He pointed the crossbow arrow at the place where Tulushi fell dead, waiting for Jianlu to be exposed.
Finally, Jianlu appeared at the location predicted by Guo Dajing. He also saw Turushi lying dead in the forest, and his eyes widened in shock.
Crash! After a slight sound, the Jianlu paid the price of death for his daze while holding his gun. He fell on his back, with only a small part of the arrow cluster exposed in his left eye socket.
There are two more!
Guo Dajing became increasingly calm and composed, crawling in the snow in the forest, the white cloth on his body almost blending into the surrounding snow.
Creak! There was the sound of trampling on the snow ahead, and Guo Dajing stopped, waiting patiently for Jianlu to appear.
Separately enter the woods, sneak towards the fire to rendezvous, and deal with the enemies encountered.
Jianlu faithfully carried out Tulushi's orders, carefully observed and marched carefully. With his own martial arts skills, even if he encountered multiple enemies, he was sure to kill them one by one.
Suddenly, Jianlu tilted his body and couldn't help but let out a groan. The severe pain in his legs almost caused him to fall. He leaned on the ground with a smoked scimitar to barely support his body.
Guo Dajing didn't panic, drew the arrow again, aimed at Jianlu, and shot an arrow.
The crossbow arrow hit Jianlu like lightning and penetrated his shoulder blade. With a scream, the impact and the injury to his leg caused Jianlu's body to spin around, hit a tree heavily, and then fell to the ground.
The scimitar also came out of his hand.
Guo Dajing jumped up from the snow with a hunting crossbow in hand and approached quickly.
Jianlu was half-kneeling on one leg, pulled out the dagger from his boot, stared at the approaching enemy, and wanted to fight to the death.
But what greeted him was another crossbow arrow, which destroyed his other arm. Then, a big foot kicked him hard on the head until he fell into coma.
There's only one left!
Guo Dajing held the crossbow and moved cautiously, preparing to kill the last enemy.
"Pah, pah!" Two slaps were heard far away in Guo Dajing's ears, which were his own contact signals.
Guo Dajing didn't respond. Instead, he became more cautious, listened carefully, observed with eyes, and slowly moved toward his teammates.
Zhou Qing frowned and looked at the comrades next to him, with a look of hesitation on his face. But after a while, he still made a gesture, and the four of them moved forward while maintaining the battle formation.
Guo Dajing stopped, lay down in the snow, and listened carefully.
The sound of wind, the rustling of branches, the crunching of snow in the distance, and—
Guo Dajing turned his eyes to the side and moved the crossbow slightly, making almost no sound.
Click! The very slight sound made Guo Dajing confirm his judgment. It was stepping on a dead branch in the snow.
"Pah, pah!" There were two more slaps, and Zhou Qing and others got closer.
Guo Dajing continued to lurk, listening to the footsteps of the enemy approaching. Although it was slight, there was already a direction and a pattern.
Finally, Jianlu's figure flashed from behind the trees and appeared in Guo Dajing's sight.
This guy looked like a veteran at first glance. He was strong but agile, and made very little noise when moving. There was a fierce light in his gloomy eyes, a dagger in his mouth, and a scimitar that was also smoked in his hand.
.
However, this guy didn't notice that Guo Dajing was well hidden, and his target was Zhou Qing and others who were approaching.
Guo Dajing held his breath, aimed and pulled the trigger. If he was only a dozen meters away, he would definitely hit the target.
The arrow was fierce and accurate, penetrating Jianlu's shoulder, and without losing its momentum, it pierced the trunk of a nearby tree and nailed him to the tree.
The uncontrollable scream was not released because he was holding a dagger in his mouth. Jianlu was caught off guard and struggled, his face was hideous, and he didn't know whether it was pain or fear.
Guo Dajing showed no mercy, raised his crossbow and fired another arrow, destroying one of Jianlu's legs.
The dagger in his mouth fell to the ground. Jianlu broke away from the arrow nailed to the tree. He leaned on the ground with his scimitar and half-knelt on the ground. Like a dying hungry wolf, he looked up and stood up from the snow and walked slowly.
of enemies.
Knowing that he was no longer lucky, Jianlu grinned, bared his teeth, sprayed thick white mist, swung his machete, and roared like a dying beast at the approaching Guo Dajing.
Guo Dajing had no expression on his face and shot an arrow coldly, injuring Jianlu's other shoulder and completely losing his ability to fight.
"Damn Nikan, you are despicable and shameless..." Jianlu was shaking all over in pain, but he still stared with ferocious eyes like a wolf and gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
Guo Dajing put away his crossbow, drew out his scimitar, and struck Jianlu hard on the face with the back of the knife.
Blood spurted from his nose and mouth, and a few yellow teeth fell to the ground. Jianlu's cursing suddenly stopped and was replaced by a vague whimpering sound.
Guo Dajing stepped on Jianlu and pulled out the crossbow arrow from his body. The pain made Jianlu twist and tremble, and he was hit again on the face. He was already bloody and in a semi-conscious state.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" Guo Dajing then clapped his hands and responded to his companions.
…………………….
For soldiers, war is cruel and fair. Either you kill me or I kill you. It just depends on who is more skilled and has better luck.
Even in later generations, the collision between reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance and the contest between special forces were bloody and cruel, even more than a real battlefield fight.
Thanks to Guo Dajing's cheating device, Zhou Qing's five-man team created the best record.
Although they didn't know yet that they had killed Jianlu's reconnaissance pacesetter and the trump card captured Tulushi, killing three and capturing two was definitely a great achievement.
Zhou Qing immediately took the prisoners to the back and began to interrogate them. The military situation was like a fire. If they pry open the prisoners' mouths as soon as possible, they can get accurate information.
Guo Dajing did not participate in the interrogation. He still stayed at the front line, monitoring and alerting. He single-handedly defeated five prisoners, which seemed very powerful.
But he knew what he was relying on. Although he was suspected of cheating and opportunism, he didn't feel much guilt.
The enemy is the enemy, and no means are excessive. In battle, there is no such thing as a woman's kindness. In order to win, of course, you can use any means and do not talk about martial ethics.
"Brother Dajing." The person accompanying Guo Dajing now is He Guizhong. He looks like a cunning little merchant. He looks at Guo Dajing from time to time and is obviously shocked by his abilities.
Guo Dajing nodded politely and continued to observe the movement on the other side of the river.
He Guizhong chuckled twice and said, "I heard what Lao Zhou said about you, but everyone still didn't quite believe it. This time, everyone is probably convinced."
Guo Dajing smiled and pointed behind him. There was a faint scream in the distance, and he wanted to change the topic.
He Guizhong waved his hand indifferently and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing that Lao Zhou and Li Haidong can't pry open."
After a pause, he added: "Especially Li Haidong, even though he smiles all day long, he goes straight to the lifeline, but he is so cruel! He used to be a pig breeder, and now he still never leaves his body..."
Guo Dajing didn't expect that the guy who had been with him for most of the night was actually a smiling tiger. Hearing He Guizhong's description, he subconsciously tightened his legs.
"Among us, I am the least promising." He Guizhong smiled to himself and said, "I used to be a ginseng dealer. Apart from traveling to many places and knowing many roads, I have no other advantages."
This is also very powerful, at least it is very useful when sneaking behind enemy lines.
Guo Dajing stretched out his thumb and could use gestures, but he didn't want to speak. He is a ruthless person who doesn't talk much, so this persona cannot be broken.
He Guizhong chuckled, gave a thumbs up to Guo Dajing, and said: "When it comes to skills, the Dajing brothers are the best. Five Jianqiu captured people, they are all powerful guys, and you took care of them all by yourself."
With admiration and awe, He Guizhong looked at Guo Dajing and said: "What's even more amazing is that we caught two people alive. This is a greater achievement than the heads. If important information is asked, the Dajing brothers can be promoted two or three times in a row."
class."
Guo Dajing grinned, and then said with a solemn expression: "Beasts, they should be killed."
"That's right, the Jianlu prisoners are all beasts and should be killed." He Guizhong agreed deeply, gritting his teeth, not looking like a cunning peddler.
Under such difficult conditions, those who still fought desperately with the Jianlu must have a deep hatred against the Jianlu. Even among the Liao people who lived on remote islands, none of them had their families destroyed or their relatives killed.
Guo Dajing sighed secretly and reached out to pat He Guizhong on the shoulder, expressing both sympathy and encouragement.
He Guizhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and patted Guo Dajing on the shoulder, saying: "You brother, I have made a decision. I don't ask you anything else, but kill more Jianlu for me in the future."
"Okay!" Guo Dajing agreed without hesitation without thinking.
The relationship between the two suddenly became closer, and their conversations became more harmonious.
Of course, He Guizhong was doing most of the talking, and Guo Dajing responded with gestures, expressions, or short words.
It wasn't until Zhou Qing rushed over that the communication between the two was interrupted.
"The general information has been asked. Let's take action separately." Zhou Qing looked serious and handed over the task to Guo Dajing and He Guizhong.
The Jianlu Brigade was about to cross the river to attack soon. Zhou Qing sent He Guizhong and Ma Min to notify the sentries on both sides to retreat back to avoid casualties.
In fact, Zhou Qing knew very well that with Guo Dajing here, he had won the victory. I am afraid that other sentinels were not so lucky, and casualties and losses were inevitable. If early warning could be obtained, the losses might be smaller.
Because, Jianlu's reconnaissance and spying will definitely not be at one point, just these five people.
In addition to informing other sentinels, Zhou Qing and Guo Dajing, Li Haidong escorted the prisoners to the rear, notified the army of the intelligence, and further interrogated the details.
After the arrangement was completed, everyone began to take action. Time was running out. Li Haidong took Pegasus to deliver the information. Zhou Qing and Guo Dajing escorted the prisoners and walked behind.
At this time, the sky turned slightly white, and the morning was about to begin.
Guo Dajing looked away from the bloody prisoner and looked up at the pale patch of white in the sky, his expression quite complicated.
Fighting and killing, as the themes of his life, were finally firmly imprinted on him and in his heart. A new life course also unfolded under his feet.
