Chapter 743: The Battle of the Scouts
The two armies, both bent on a decisive battle, approached each other cautiously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both sides have large cavalry, and no one wants to be attacked by the opponent before the decisive battle, and be dealt a heavy blow. The characteristics of the cavalry determine that they come and go like the wind, it is difficult to catch their whereabouts, and if they are given any opportunity, the losses will be unbearable.
Everyone wants to grasp the exact position of the other, which makes small battles staged in various places before the big war, and the protagonists of both sides are elite scouts.
The scouts are all elites in the army, and in the past few days, the losses of their respective scouts have made the commanders of both sides cry in distress, but they have to be sent out again and again to carry out the tasks of life and death.
Zhang Long and Zhang Hu's names are only one word apart, but they are not brothers, they are from the same village, they are conscripted into the army together, they participate in training together, and they enter the scout team together.
This is the third time they have come out.
The two of them lay in the grass half a man deep, looking up at the stars in the sky. The weather finally cleared, but the bright starry water and moonlight did not make them feel pleasant, because such conditions meant that they were more likely to be exposed.
"Huzi, counting the two heads this time, I have already cut off six heads, and five will be turned around, this time I will go back, Lao Tzu will be the sentry chief, hahaha, you will be my soldier at that time." Zhang Long bit a straw in his mouth and said triumphantly.
"Don't dream, I also cut four, only one, let's see, when I go back this time, I'm sure I'll be able to get the fifth head, we haven't been able to tell the winner since we were young, and this time it's the same. If you are the sentry commander, I will certainly not be left behind. Zhang Hu hummed and chirped.
Zhang Long chuckled, "This is a little difficult, I see that this time it is our last solo attack, the distance between the two sides is quite close, there is no need to hide it anymore, you can also see, the enemy scouts we met are getting more and more powerful, and it is too difficult to cut off a head." ”
"Anyway, if I don't cut five full, I won't go back." Zhang Hu said angrily: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts, you just want to drag me back, so that you can be the sentry commander, this time after the battle, back to the village, you became an officer, I am still just a small soldier, Qiao Niang will definitely follow you." ”
"Qiao Niang's father said, whoever has a chance, Qiao Niang will follow whom, it's no wonder to me." Zhang Long chirped and laughed, "Lose step by step, lose step by step, Huzi, accept your fate!" Look at this plane, we will definitely not be able to meet the enemy today, see that the sky is not dark, there is still half an hour, it is the time for us to return, you don't want to violate the military order. ”
Zhang Hu's face darkened, he pulled a large handful of grass and twisted it fiercely in his hand, and no longer paid attention to Zhang Long.
The two are not only fellow countrymen, but also close as brothers, and they still like the same woman in their lives, they are hostile competitors, and the relationship is quite complicated.
Zhang Long smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the big dog lying quietly beside him, this is a hunting dog that has been with him for many years. In the barracks, dogs were not allowed, but the dog was licensed, and it was even listed in the army directory with a salary.
Zhang Long and Zhang Hu were paired in two, and being able to cut off the heads of so many of the other party's scouts was inseparable from it.
Feeling the touch of his master, the big dog raised his head, squinted his eyes, stretched out his long crimson tongue, and licked his head and hand.
"Stone, if you win this battle, I'll find you a mistress Luo." Zhang Long said with a grin. Zhang Hu on the side was even more depressed, raised his hand and threw the broken grass in his hand to the big dog called the stone, the stone stood up, shook the hair, shook all the weeds clean, stretched out his head and licked Zhang Hu again.
Zhang Hu sighed, took out a piece of jerky from his pocket, stuffed it into the mouth of the stone, and then turned around, put his hand under his head, and thought about his thoughts sullenly.
The stone was munching on the jerky comfortably, and naturally it couldn't pay attention to the lip and tongue between the two masters. Instead, I enjoyed the love of the two masters.
The big mouth chewing on the jerky suddenly stopped, the stone raised its head, the hair on its body suddenly stood on end, and a whimper came out of its throat. Zhang Long was startled, turned over and sat up, and reached out to hold the handle of the ring hand knife.
"Huzi!" He exclaimed, under his breath.
Zhang Hu had already held the knife in his hand and half-squatted.
Under the moonlight, there was nothing, but in the next moment, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, and six horses in three directions wrapped towards them, and the faces of the two changed suddenly.
"They seem to know where we are." Zhang Long said in disbelief. "How did they find out about us?"
Zhang Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, indeed, looking at the other party's actions, it was obvious that he wanted to surround them, of course, he had already discovered where they were.
He let out a sigh of relief, today is not a question of whether he can confirm the fifth head, but whether he can go home alive. He rolled over and lay on his back, arranging his equipment, his sword, his crossbow arrows, and a horse lance.
"Zhang Long, look at the sky, big bird!" Zhang Hu's eyes suddenly widened, and above their heads, a huge black shadow was circling back and forth.
"We have a dog, and the other party has a big eagle." Zhang Long muttered, "It's troublesome." Huzi, old rule, you lure the target, I will attack them, as long as we can kill one or two of them, we still have a chance. ”
"You run, I'll attack and kill. I'm missing a head! Zhang Hu shook his head and said.
"Bastard, can you and the stone have a tacit understanding with me? At this time, I still want to have a fart head, thinking about how to survive, right? If we survive, we can all be the sentry commanders, continue to compete, we can't survive, everything is in vain, if we can only live one, then things will be simpler. Roll, hurry, start, two horses, take away. ”
Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and climbed up, the grass below was from the depths, the two horses were quietly kneeling on the ground, he snorted softly, the two horses stood up immediately, without saying a word, he turned over a horse, led another horse with one hand, hit the horse with a backhand palm, and galloped away towards the distance.
Overhead, the huge black shadow chirped loudly, following him closely. Zhang Hu scolded angrily, stretched out his hand to take off the crossbow arrow, and aimed at the sky, but he reluctantly gave up, that thing was ghostly, it was difficult to figure out the route at all, he didn't want to waste a crossbow arrow.
Zhang Long lay in the grass and pulled out a crossbow arrow, a crossbow arrow, you can kill one, the rest, it depends on luck, the scouts who can survive to this time, there is no weak, one-on-one is difficult to deal with, let alone six at once.
The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and he could clearly hear the other party's excited roar, Qin Yu was a little difficult to understand, but Zhang Long still roughly understood the other party's meaning, and it was similar to their thoughts, and he also wanted to cut off a few more heads to go back so that he could be promoted!
Zhang Long smirked, leaning out of the grass and half of his body, the crossbow arrow in his hand aimed at one of the two rapidly approaching figures.
With a soft thud, the bolts shot out like lightning, accompanied by a scream, and the loud sound of the falling horse was very clear in the silent night. With one arrow, Zhang Long threw away the crossbow in his hand without hesitation, bent down to pick up the horse lance at his feet, and rushed to another.
The Qin scouts never imagined that there was an enemy in ambush here. The big eagle in the sky can find the target, but it can't find how many people there are, just now Zhang Hu escaped with two horses, which made them relax their vigilance. Six against one, they won.
The mental relaxation allowed Zhang Long to succeed in one blow.
Under the moonlight, another Qin scout suddenly stopped his horse, turned around for half a circle, and accelerated towards Zhang Long again, his body lowered, and the iron spear flashed with a faint cold light in his hand.
Riding on foot, Zhang Long did not have the slightest intention of backing down. Holding a horse lance, he actually charged against the opponent, in the eyes of the opponent, this is naturally an inexplicable way to die.
Stone, Zhang Long also has a killer feature, he believes that the stone, who has been with him for many years, knows when to attack.
The stone lived up to his expectations, and a black shadow swooped out of the grass like lightning, its mouth wide open, its fangs bared, and it bit down on the horse's stock with such precision that it would never let go.
The galloping war horse neighed sadly, the person stood up, the charging knight was caught off guard, and immediately fell off the horse, and the charging Zhang Long seemed to have already counted all this, the horse lance stabbed out, and the sharp lance blade immediately ended the other party's life.
The battle started in an instant and ended in an instant, and the other four Qin State scouts heard the screams here, and they all looked back in amazement to see that their two companions had lost their lives in an instant.
The four of them immediately turned around and rushed towards Zhang Long.
They are all scouts, and they have an unusually fast judgment of the enemy's situation, and they immediately understand that the other party is two, the one who escapes in front is to lure the enemy, and the one behind is a killing move, and the one in front may not be able to catch up, but the one in the back must not be let go. The four of them came back with a concerted killing.
Zhang Huquan turned the horse's head, howled, and ran back with the horse's lance. Zhang Long killed two, and now it's two against four, and they don't have no chance.
Zhang Long held the lance, crossed his legs, looked at Zhang Hu's figure running back under the moonlit night, and laughed. He knew that this brother would not leave him, and just like before, the two would fight side by side again.
The stone bit a horse's reins and led a horse to Zhang Long's side, the first horse of the scout to be killed by Zhang Long's crossbow arrows, the man died, but the horse did not leave.
Zhang Long turned over on the horse, shook the reins of the horse, and roared loudly: "Stone, let's get on." ”
In the sky, a huge black shadow swooped down in the air, and above the ground, a black shadow shuttled through the grass like lightning, and six war horses quickly approached.
