Chapter 771: Fighting
The fire was extinguished, and the forest was instantly covered in darkness.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard on the west side of the camp, and the horse team stopped three hundred yards from the camp, and then slowly moved in the direction of the campfire......
Boom - Boom - Arrows shot at the pitch-black tent.
"Ulla—Ulla—" The leader shouted as he drew his scimitar at his waist and shouted at the top of his voice.
A dozen or so horsemen were ordered to rush towards the dark camp, and the soldiers in front screamed and slashed open one side of the tent, and the soldiers behind stabbed into it.
"Chief, no—ah!" The soldier threw himself into the air and said to the leader who was standing at the edge of the camp to supervise the battle, and before he could finish speaking, there was an extra crossbow bolt on his neck.
Suddenly there was movement on the south and north sides of the camp, and the leader, knowing that he had been ambushed, ran towards his horse while shouting words he did not understand.
"Lao Lu, you, Wu Peng, and Lao Ke protect Lord Gu! Let's meet this group of Cossacks. Xie Xinghua threw away the crossbow, pulled out the war knife on his waist and was about to rush over.
"Don't worry!" Lu Fuming stood up with his sword in his hand, and protected Gu Jia and the others with Wu Peng and Ke Yunfei.
"Xie Qianhu, you have to be careful." Gu Jia also stood up and instructed.
"Hahaha!" Xie Xinghua arched his hand at Gu Jia, laughed loudly and rushed over with eight or nine of his subordinates.
The dark woodland instantly became a battlefield, and the steel Yanling knife in Xie Xinghua's hand opened and closed, harvesting the panicked Cossacks while running, and seven or eight Ming border troops actually chased and cut down more than a dozen.
The Cossacks were just assassinations, they had seen the combat effectiveness of this group of Ming people, and now that the mission has failed, they have no intention of fighting at all, the Cossack leaders have already mounted their horses at this time, looked back at the subordinates behind them, and actually fled westward on horseback.
Seeing this, Zhai Chu gave up the enemy in front of him and ran straight in the direction of the Cossack leader.
Under the faint moonlight, but seeing that Zhai Chu's body was as light as a swallow, the bushes and thorns in the forest were not enough to stop him at all, but the leader on the horse was clumsily jumping around the woodland in a panic.
Closer, closer.
Zhai Chudu had already seen the Cossack's frightened expression, he took a breath and flew forward, slashing at the hind legs of the war horse, and the war horse immediately fell to the ground with a scream......
After about half an hour, the forest was calm again.
"Xie Qianhu, Yu Liang is injured." A soldier walked towards the camp with Yu Liang on his back.
Yu Liang was stabbed in the left arm, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
"Got it, go to the tent to bandage it first, are the others still hurt? What about Zhai Chu? Xie Xinghua counted the number of people and found that there was one person missing, and his timbre suddenly changed.
It's three thousand miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and there are enemies everywhere, and anything can happen.
"Zhang Xingzhi and Sun Changle are slightly injured and don't get in the way, everyone else is fine, Zhai Zongqi ...... It was so chaotic just now, I didn't even notice it. Cheng Datou helped Yu Liang and said.
"I saw Zhai Zongqi chasing west." Yu Liang endured the pain and turned around and said.
"This Lao Zhai, what he said is good is collective action, your uncle's! Hurry up and deal with the wounds, Lao Wu and I will look for them, and the rest of the people will clean up the battlefield! Xie Xinghua waved his hand at Wu Peng, and walked west with his sword.
But before he could go far, he saw Wu Peng dragging a Cossack from a distance.
"Lao Zhai! Your uncle, who let you run over alone? Xie Xinghua ran over anxiously.
"Hehe, it's okay, I saw that this leader wanted to run, so I didn't think much about it and followed." Zhai Chu said embarrassedly.
These days, he has been chased and killed by the Rakshasa Country, and there is no one in the team who is not depressed, and Zhai Chu is also very puzzled about what this group of Cossacks is going to do.
"No, I knocked him unconscious." Zhai Chu pointed to the dead dog-like Cossacks on the ground.
The three of them then carried the captives towards the camp.
The bonfire was lit again, and the Cossack captives were tied to the trunk of a dead tree.
"Father Hule, I'll ask, you will be our interpreter." Xie Xinghua rushed to Hoffman Yuledao, and he knew Yuletong Rakshasa language.
After receiving an affirmative reply from Yule, Xie Xinghua carried a war knife and clamped it around the Cossack's neck.
"How many of you still have them? Why are you chasing us? Is the Rakshasa Kingdom trying to provoke a new war? Time was pressing, Xie Xinghua didn't have time to spend with this captive, and he didn't even bother to ask the name.
But who knew that the Cossack did not understand Xinghua at all, but twisted his neck and closed his eyes.
"Your uncle, don't eat and drink for toasting." Xie Xinghua angrily came up and stabbed at the Cossack's left foot, and directly cut off all the rootless toes.
"Whew—" the Cossack cried out in pain.
"Let me ask again, how many of you still have and why are you chasing us?" Xie Xinghua patiently wiped the blood stains on the knife on the Cossacks' pants.
But this Cossack only cared about the pain and struggled, where was he willing to listen, Xie Xinghua raised the knife and stabbed his right foot again, this time it was quiet, and the prisoner was directly stunned by the pain.
"Xie Qianhu, this ...... It's so inhumane, it's so inhumane, I protest! Yu Le on the side couldn't stand it, he was a Catholic, born to persuade people to be kind and believe in their Lord, in his opinion, this Ming Qianhu surnamed Xie was too brutal.
"We're saving your lives, Father Hule, and you can translate it for us." Xie Xinghua didn't take Yu Le's words to heart at all, he didn't look at any of these bearded priests.
Xie Xinghua woke up the captive with a soak of urine, and put the knife on his neck again.
"Don't say it again, Lao Tzu should cut off your hands, after cutting your hands, it is your legs, and after cutting and pushing, it is your arms." After Xie Xinghua finished speaking, he motioned to Yule to translate his words to the Cossack.
Yu Le originally wanted to persuade, but Xie Xinghua immediately glared at him, and Yu Le retold the original words in Rakshasa with a sigh of relief.
The Cossack shrank his hand, looked frightened, and said a lot at Hule.
"He said that the Ming people had invaded their territory, and Lord Vasily had ordered that all the Ming people should be purged, and they thought that we were spies sent by the Ming Dynasty.
They have a military camp three hundred miles away from here, and there are tens of thousands of Rakshasa soldiers stationed there, and if this assassination fails, Lord Vasily will definitely send more people to encircle and suppress us.
He said he hoped you could let him go, he wanted to go home. ”
Yu Le also panicked after hearing this, although he was not a Ming person, but the Rakshasa people did not think so.
"Phew! Don't be ashamed, do you know how many people I have? Xie Xinghua said disdainfully when he heard this.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you in vain, so we'll send you home." After saying that, the knife cut the throat of the Cossacks.
