While moving to the ditch in the sorghum field, Lin Xi had been slowly placing a circle of thin twine.
After waiting patiently for a long time, a large Mang army finally appeared in his sight.
This is a light-armored cavalry force of about two thousand people. They have obviously performed a certain mission and there are signs of fighting. Many people are injured. They are not moving very fast at the moment. They are marching on the side.
Let the war horses eat some tender grass and rest for a while.
Because a reconnaissance force had previously conducted reconnaissance within a radius of a hundred miles and determined that there was no trace of the activities of the Yunqin army with a certain structure, this Damang army did not appear to be very vigilant and did not divide the front army and the rear army.
Since the founding of the Yunqin Kingdom, under the influence of Dean Zhang, unless they are some extremely high-level generals or high-level generals of some special forces, the rest of the Yunqin generals are wearing black leather armor like ordinary sergeants, except for the underwear.
There is a difference between A and A. In this way, if Xu Qiubai was not an assassin who came from the Yunqin army and was extremely familiar with some of the Yunqin army's commands and gestures, it would be difficult to figure out who the generals were in the Yunqin army.
.
However, the Yunqin Empire like Da Mang was not so deeply influenced by Dean Zhang. There were obvious differences in the clothing and attire of generals at all levels in the military.
The helmets of high-ranking generals in Da Mang are generally inlaid with Purgatory Mountain ruby, malachite, fire amber and other materials according to their rank, while the helmets of low-ranking generals are inlaid with turquoise, yellow agate, moiré ruby, and those of lower ranks are not inlaid.
It's just an object with gold and silver decorations, and the top of the helmet is decorated with feathers of various monsters.
When Lin Xi was taught by Wind Walker at Qingluan Academy, he not only practiced archery skills, but also memorized these knowledge and some stealth assassination techniques.
His eyes quickly locked on the top general of this great cavalry army.
This was a giant who was definitely more than two meters tall and weighed more than 250 kilograms. At such a distance that ordinary people couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Xi could clearly see the muscles on this man's face.
They were all bulging out, and his face was really full of flesh, and he was extremely tough. Probably because his body itself was too heavy, the weapons of this great general were carried solely on a war horse that followed him.
.It is an oval flat ring-shaped weapon, the whole body is black and red, and the runes are the flowing magma-like runes unique to Damang. The outer and inner rings are extremely sharp blades except for a handshake place.
The mouth is uneven, like the shape of clusters of flames.
His helmet is inlaid with yellow agate, which in Da Mang represents the official rank of a fifth-grade cavalry captain, and he has a command of three thousand troops.
At this moment, there are only more than 2,000 people in this cavalry army. Either they have only brought so many, or they have already gone through a big battle and nearly a thousand people have been injured or killed.
The organized cavalry has always been the nemesis of practitioners.
Not only are the horses' endurance enough to catch up with the practitioners who have a temporary advantage in speed, but among the organized cavalry, just arrows and some throwers can pose a fatal threat to the practitioners. At this moment, with a cavalry army of this size, Lin Xi
It was impossible to compete with them, so he did not waste time to carefully check the military equipment of this army. He just waited for this army to move forward while searching for traces of other generals in this army.
This Da Mang army was completely unaware that it had been targeted by a Windrunner from Qingluan Academy, and continued to march unhurriedly. For an army that was just returning, ensuring a route that was not blocked by enemy troops was more important than
Saving some time is far more important.
Lin Xi's eyes looked extremely bright in the grass, really like two gems shining brightly.
At the moment when the last hundred or so horses of this great army passed through the burnt town, he yanked the thin linen thread in his hand that was already slightly stretched.
when!
A sound like the sound of some kind of crossbow machine in Yunqin suddenly appeared in this silent wilderness, ringing from the flanks of this huge army!
Almost everyone in this large cavalry force lowered their bodies as if reflexively in one breath, and glanced at the grass where the incident occurred with extremely cold eyes.
At the same time, Lin Xi in the ditch had already picked up the giant black-bone bow dyed green by him. His eyes passed through the messy sorghum stalks and accurately locked onto the giant-like Da Mang general and the other ones.
On the bodies of two generals with gold and silver decorations on their helmets.
"Chi!" "Chi!" "Chi!"
Three sharp piercing sounds were heard before the loud one disappeared.
Three balls of blood surged from the bodies of the three people almost at the same time.
As soon as the giant general's hand reached out to the giant ring on the horse beside him, a huge crack appeared on the side of his unusually thick and strong neck, and his entire head was almost broken, and he fell sideways.
One of the other two Da Mang generals was hit by an arrow in the gap between his armor and fell to the ground while the other was raising his hand and was hit by an arrow in his armpit. The cold metal arrow hit him directly from his armpit.
It pierced through and shattered half of the important organs in his body. The powerful force pressed into his body, causing him to spurt out blood and many broken organs the moment he fell from the horse.
After three sharp cracks in the air and a heavy crash to the ground, there was a moment of absolute silence.
Because this time was too short, the picture was transferred into my mind, and rational reactions and judgments were unable to wash away the initial shock.
After an extremely short period of dead silence, with a "Boom!", the vast army was instantly filled with countless voices.
The sounds of swords and armor, horrified shouts, shouts, orders, and the sound of horse hooves were all intertwined in a very chaotic manner.
Hundreds of Da Mang cavalry rushed towards the place where the sound was heard. Dozens of Da Mang sergeants immediately rushed to the side of the three generals who fell to the ground, but their expressions changed quickly.
He turned completely pale and howled in despair.
From the reactions of these people, the Da Mang soldiers on the periphery already knew that their commander-in-chief and the other two generals had turned into corpses that were turning cold quickly.
The eyes of all these Da Mang soldiers were darting around wildly, but they couldn't see any movement. What's more, what made these Da Mang soldiers feel incredible amidst the fear and anger of their commander being assassinated was that all of them actually
No one could tell where these three arrows came from through the sound of the arrows piercing the air.
Because at that moment, the sound of these three arrows breaking through the air seemed to come from all directions in the air, as if someone was blowing a whistle violently from all directions in the air.
A school officer squeezed in beside the three corpses.
This school officer can usually only command a hundred people, but after the death of these three generals, there are only school officers at the same level as him in the army, and his seniority is the most senior among these officers, so he should be like this at this time
The commander of a large Mang army.
The old school officer, whose face was paler than his gray temples, suppressed his extreme shock and anger and pulled out an arrow that was deeply embedded in the corpse of the general in front of him.
He saw that this was a black-feathered steel arrow that was very popular among Yunqin cultivators and archers.
This kind of arrow is made entirely of Yunqin's unique charcoal-quenched alloy steel. There are steel patterns on the surface that look like tiny feathers. The appearance is exactly the same as some heavy gold armor-piercing arrows, except that the arrowhead does not have those armor-piercing arrows.
The arrowheads are hard and expensive, and ordinary practitioners can afford them without the support of large forces.
This kind of special steel feather arrow was originally impossible to make a sound like someone was whistling from all directions. However, at a glance, the old school officer saw some unusual engraved lines on the tip and body of the arrow.
.
It was this kind of engraved line that made the arrow sound abnormally loud, making it impossible for them to judge the specific direction of the arrow's flight. Moreover, this kind of engraved line did not affect the accuracy of the arrow!
What kind of archer is this?
The old school officer raised his head, and what made him breathless was that he saw that several of the hundred-man cavalry he had sent earlier were running back madly. A sergeant at the front was carrying a brass
Something like a leather bucket, while the other cavalry were frantically searching in one direction in the grass.
After a few hurried reports, the old school officer issued several orders in succession, and hundreds of people dispersed, searching frantically in all directions.
After more than ten pauses, someone finally found some traces of human activity in the ditch in the sorghum field. However, no matter how much they searched, they could no longer find any trace of the assassin.
