Chapter 409: The Enemy Situation Appears by the Jungle Lake
409.
There is an enemy situation on the edge of the lake in the jungle
There are two kinds of footprints, old and new? Li Pojun couldn't help frowning when he saw it, indicating that there were still people here.
Liu Zhong said with a smile: "Your Highness, maybe it's Orion, you see that this old footprint is very chaotic, it should have been a panic running by, maybe it's a hunter chasing prey, my old colleague."
Hearing this, Li Pojun turned his head and asked, "When you were a hunter, would you go deep into the mountains for dozens of miles to hunt?"
Liu Zhong was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head and said: "This is not possible, we hunters all know that the old forest is very dangerous, not to mention all kinds of mountain spirits and ghosts, but poisonous insects and beasts can harm people's lives, and they dare not go deep within thirty or fifty miles."
Li Pojun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "However, this place is at least fifty miles away from the outermost part of the mountain."
When Liu Zhong heard this, he also frowned and thought about it.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers who was resting on the outskirts straightened up and shouted, "Your Highness, come quickly, there is something here."
When Li Pojun heard this, he hurriedly went over to take a look, only to see a personal soldier carefully digging out a ...... from the soil Feather arrows?
Li Pojun saw that it was really an arrow, but the arrow feathers had rotted, the wooden arrow shaft had rotted, and the iron arrow had also generated a thick lump of rust, and it was estimated that Li Pojun would turn into a ball of iron powder if he pinched it hard.
Li Pojun looked at him and didn't speak, but Chen Kang, who had come back from the troubled times, said: "Your Highness, this is the standard feather arrow in the former Sui army, and the army was equipped with this kind of feather arrow throughout the Great Cause."
Li Pojun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, the feather arrow of the former Sui? Why is it in the deep mountains and old forests here?
Seeing this, Chen Kang said: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and there were more or less deserters in various places, perhaps it was possible that the deserters fled into the mountains with their armor."
Li Pojun also nodded when he heard this, and casually threw away this rotten feather arrow.
Half a quarter of an hour had passed, and Li Pojun shouted: "Get up, pack up your equipment, and go."
Li Pojun and more than 500 other people followed Liu Zhong's footsteps and walked more than ten miles, if it weren't for the traces all the time, Li Pojun was a little hesitant to return.
Suddenly, Liu Zhong paused, hurriedly raised his palms, and before Li Pojun could ask, Liu Zhong said, "Your Highness looks here."
Li Pojun looked at it, and his eyes were condensed at the moment, it turned out that there was a stone, and next to the stone was a chaotic footprint, the key was that these footprints were clearly visible, and what surprised Li Pojun even more was that there were blood stains on the stone.
Liu Zhong lay on the ground, looked carefully at the clear and fresh footprints, pinched the soil again, raised his head and said: "Your Highness, these footprints will not be a day, and they should be stepped on yesterday at the latest."
Li Pojun nodded and didn't look at the footprints, walked straight to the stone, squatted down and looked at the bloodstains, suddenly, Li Pojun's eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand to twist a handful of hair from the dried bloodstains.
Seeing this handful of hair, Li Pojun smiled.
Because although Li Pojun didn't know what kind of hair this handful of hair was, it was definitely not human, it should be beasts, which means that the group of people just killed a beast here, not ...... Zhang Dajiang them.
Liu Zhong took a closer look, sniffed again, and said directly: "Your Highness, this is rabbit hair, and it smells of rabbits."
Li Pojun smiled and nodded, Liu Zhong didn't understand why Li Pojun was smiling, only the clever Feng Xin was shocked when he saw the bloodstain to when he heard that it was a rabbit, he was also relieved, and he was afraid that the stubborn old man Zhang was killed.
Li Pojun turned around and drew his sword, and said to the more than 500 vigilant guards: "The sword is unsheathed, the bow and crossbow are wound, three people in a team, form a formation, scatter in all directions, and move forward cautiously."
He said to Liu Zhong again: "Lead the way, continue to walk."
Hearing this, Liu Zhong also pulled out his horizontal knife, held it with both hands, and the cat bent down, looking at the traces on the ground while moving forward vigilantly.
After walking for less than a stick of incense, he heard a huge sound of water, Liu Zhong slowly stopped and said, "Your Highness, there should be a river ahead."
Li Pojun stood and closed his eyes and listened, opened his eyes and said, "It's a waterfall, continue to walk towards the water."
Liu Zhong listened and was surprised by Li Pojun's hearing, and at the same time walked slowly and cautiously.
After all, he knew that when they hunted or camped in the mountains, they all had to be camped at the water's edge, and first, people wanted water, and they couldn't do without water. The second is that the prey also needs to drink water, and there are many prey guarding the water's edge to drink.
In this way, everyone walked with their hearts tense, after all, maybe a crossbow arrow would come out of nowhere, and the crossbow arrow could not be prevented, especially in this dark dense forest, so even if there were occasional thorns slashing through the face and hands, and scratching blood, they would still keep their mouths shut and keep silent.
As we walked on, the sound of the water became louder, and the humming sound was deafening.
Suddenly, Li Pojun paused, squatted down and raised his palms, and everyone squatted silently.
Li Pojun said bluntly: "Quiet, there are people ahead."
Chen Kang and the others were taken aback when they heard this, clenched the blade in their hands, and looked directly at Li Pojun, meaning to ask where the person you said was staying, but don't be scary.
Li Pojun said: "It should be at the water's edge." He stretched out his hand and said, "Take the bow."
The soldiers handed over two stone bows and a pot of arrows, Li Pojun only took three, and said: "Scatter and surround the waterside in front, Chen Kang, you go over there."
After that, he got up slowly, and a team of five hundred people and three people set up the mandarin duck formation taught by Li Pojun, back to back, two with knives and one with a bow, and scattered to the water's edge.
As soon as I entered the water, I didn't have time to look at the deafening waterfall falling from the cliff and the small lake below, when I heard a loud roar in front of me, "What kind of person, there is a situation". As soon as the voice fell, Li Pojun saw two sunspots jumping down from the trees by the lake, and they were actually running towards the waterfall.
Feng Xin was startled,
Busy lying down, at a glance, he said urgently: "Your Highness, it's them, the man in black."
Li Pojun's eyes widened, and he was actually discovered by the enemy first, which was embarrassing.
Immediately, he opened his bow and arrows, and shot straight at the man in black who was jumping and running and shouting that there was a situation.
The feather arrow deflected, and the man in black was hit by an arrow in his back and fell in response.
The other person tilted his head and looked, almost lost his soul with fright, the other party has a marksman?
Immediately, he stopped running, hid behind a tree, and shouted: "There is an enemy, chief, there is an enemy."
Li Pojun saw that he was hiding under the big tree, and he also secretly scolded Fake. When he threw his bow to his soldiers, he drew his sword and shouted, "There are only a few dozen of them, and they will go up together."
As soon as Li Pojun's words fell, a large group of black-clothed people rushed out of the waterfall, and it seemed that the number of people was less than fifty.
