Chapter 408: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
The autumn wind swept over the hills and gently brushed over the canopy of the trees that covered the hills. Pieces of scorched yellow leaves, swaying on the branches, although the leaves are tightly pulling the branches, want to stay in the place where it was born and raised, but their strength is too small after all, and finally they can't break free from the pull of the autumn wind, reluctantly leave the branches, fluttering to the ground.
Everywhere is sprinkled with yellow fallen leaves, with the caress of the autumn wind, the once verdant on the hill is gone forever, looking at it, a bleak group, people can't help but feel desolate.
The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow of the remnant sun is sprinkled on the hills, shining on the bare trees and fallen leaves all over the mountain. The orange light reflected the mountain, and the fallen leaves on the ground were also covered with a thin layer of blood.
Yu Poison and Lei Gong sat with their backs against a big bluestone, although the two were talking, their eyes glanced at the sunset that was already hanging in the west from time to time. The eyes of the two of them showed a little anxiety.
The matter had been agreed, and what they had to do was to wait until dark, raise troops to surround Qingniujiao and Huanglong, and force them to agree to join Liu Wei.
The sun is getting lower and lower, and it is about to set below the horizon. Yu Poison stood up, straightened his neck, and looked at the sunset in the west. As the sun set in the west, the expression on his face became more and more impatient.
"Yu Poison!" Just as Poison was anxiously waiting for the sunset, a burst of shouting suddenly reached his ears.
Hearing this explosion, Yu Poison was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his gaze to the direction where the explosion came.
What appeared in front of him was the green bull horn and the yellow dragon standing side by side not far from him with a sword in his hand. Behind the two of them, there was still a black black army soldier.
Seeing that Qingniujiao and Huanglong were not good, Lei Gong, who was sitting behind Yu Poison, stood up suddenly, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, stared at the balls in his eyes, and shouted to the two: "What do you two want?" ”
"Don't even move!" As soon as Lei Gong's words fell, a shout came from the hillside: "Rebels, kill!" ”
With this shout, countless Black Mountain troops with swords in their hands poured out, and surrounded the generals and Lei Gong.
Suddenly changed, and before Yu Poison and the Black Mountain Army under the command of Lei Gong could understand what was going on, they were surrounded by Tong Ze, who had fought side by side in the past.
An officer under the command of Yu Poison, seeing that the soldiers of the Green Ox Horn and the Yellow Dragon surrounded them, bent down and tried to pick up the short spear from the ground.
At the moment when he bent down, a Montenegrin soldier under the green bull horn threw the short spear in his hand at him.
The short spear made a burst of air and flew towards the Black Mountain Army officer who was bending down to pick up his weapon. The officer of the Black Mountain Army, who had picked up his weapon, had just stood up and was about to call his companions to resist, when the short spear flying towards him slammed into his chest with a "poof".
He obviously didn't expect a short spear to fly towards him, the front of the chest was pierced by the short spear, his body shook, his eyes widened, his throat made a few soft "gurgling" sounds, and he fell straight backwards.
There were already people who wanted to resist being killed, although there were a large number of people under Yu Poison and Lei Gong, they looked at each other one by one, and many people had the heart to resist, but they were afraid of following in the footsteps of the officer. The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Black Mountain Army, which were far more numerous than the Qingniujiao and Huanglong's subordinates, were shocked by less than 20,000 people and did not dare to make a slight move.
"Yu Poison, I know that you were captured by the Luoyang army, not to fight your way out of the encirclement, but to be released back by the King of Luoyang!" Twisting his brows, he stared at Yu Poison coldly, Qingniujiao gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "If you intend to surrender to the enemy, I don't care, but you actually conspired with Lei Gong and wanted to murder General X and Huanglong." How can we tolerate such evil deeds! ”
"Green Horns!" As soon as Qingniujiao's words fell, Lei Gong, who was standing behind Yu Poison, drew his long sword, took two steps forward, his thin cheeks, which were so thin that he had almost no flesh, twitched violently twice, and shouted loudly: "Do you dare to fight with someone?" ”
"Heads-up?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Lei Gong, Qing Niujiao snorted coldly twice, and said to him: "Single-handedly, single-handedly!" ”
Qingniujiao promised to fight alone, and Lei Gong took another step forward, putting on a posture of stepping forward to fight.
"But it's not someone who is alone with you!" What Yu Poison and Lei Gong didn't expect was that Qing Niujiao not only did not step forward to meet Lei Gong, but took a step back, waved his hand behind him, with a playful smile on his face, and said with endless ridicule in his tone: "It's a certain soldier under his command, everyone singles you out!" Alone with you, are you a fool? ”
As soon as Qingniujiao's words fell, a sound of arrows breaking through the air came, and a black pressure pressed an arrow, flying out from behind Qingniujiao and Huanglong, and flying towards Yu Poison and Lei Gong.
There was already infighting on the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain was quiet. Behind a bush with lush foliage lurks a team dressed in red armor with golden feathers stuck in their helmets.
It was not Deng Zhan who led the dragoon guards to the foot of the mountain, but Liu Wei.
At first, he planned to ask Deng Zhan and Guan Hai to lead the dragoon guards to assist Yu Poison, but then he thought about it, for latent operations, he used to be a special soldier, after all, he knew more than Deng Zhan, who was born as a knight, so he decided to take Deng Zhan and Guan Hai to personally command this battle.
Liu Wei's decision to personally lead the dragoon guards into battle was very unexpected by Pang Tong and others. Although Pang Tong was persuaded hard, he could not make Liu Wei change his mind, and in desperation, he could only order Guan Qing to lead Yu Linwei to prepare for it.
Lying dormant behind a large rock behind the bushes, looking at the two Montenegrin soldiers who were standing guard not far from them, Liu Wei never moved.
"Your Highness." Under the guidance of the scouts, the dragoon guards have been here for more than half an hour, Liu Wei has not ordered an attack on the Black Mountain Army on the mountain, Deng Zhan and others are a little anxious, come to Liu Wei's side, and whisper: "The sky is already dark, do you ...... go up the mountain?" ”
Liu Wei shook his head and didn't speak, but his eyes stayed on the two sentry Black Mountain troops.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Deng Zhan had to give up the idea of going up the mountain immediately and sat down with his back against the big rock.
As soon as his buttocks touched the ground, Liu Wei on the side stretched out a finger and poked him in the arm, and quickly waved his hand at him.
After being stabbed twice by Liu Wei, Deng Zhan got up, grabbed the bluestone, and stretched out his head to look at the hillside.
The two sentry Montenegrin soldiers were still standing there chatting about something, but behind a few big trees not far from them, there were more than a dozen hidden Montenegrin troops.
From the demeanor of the more than a dozen Montenegrin troops hiding behind the trees, Liu Wei could see that they must have had some intentions against the two Montenegrin troops who were on guard. It's just that because he doesn't know who is the enemy and who is the friend of the two groups, Liu Wei can only choose to wait and see for the time being.
The Black Mountain Army behind the tree lay dormant for a moment, and two of them jumped out, holding short spears, and stabbed at the two Black Mountain soldiers who were on guard.
The two Montenegrin soldiers who were on guard heard the movement and hurriedly turned around. The moment they turned, two sharp spears pierced into their chests.
"Here's a few people!" The Black Mountain Army who was hiding must have been negligent in a short period of time, knowing that the opportunity was fleeting, Liu Wei beckoned behind him, and before anyone responded, he was already bent over and quickly jumped forward.
"General Guan, you are waiting here!" Seeing Liu Wei jumping out, Deng Zhan explained to Guan Hai, who was squatting not far away, and he was about to follow.
More than a dozen dragoons immediately followed, taking advantage of the time when the Black Mountain Army on the hillside was disposing of the two corpses, and jumped out of the hillside.
Liu Wei and Deng Zhan led people to jump out, and Guan Hai, who was left behind by Deng Zhan and looked at him with a lot of chagrin, he punched the ground heavily, and looked at Liu Wei and the others who were about to approach the more than ten Montenegrin soldiers with great envy.
When the more than a dozen Montenegrin soldiers approached, Liu Wei gestured behind him, meaning that he wanted to stay alive and not rush to take the lives of these Montenegrin troops.
Deng Zhan and the more than a dozen dragoon guards who followed him nodded, and when Liu Wei waved his hand again, everyone scattered in all directions, each looking for the best angle to attack.
The more than a dozen Montenegrin soldiers hastily buried the two corpses, and just as they were about to disperse, Liu Wei beckoned to Deng Zhan and more than a dozen dragoons who had already stood in their positions.
Seeing Liu Wei's gesture, Deng Zhan and the dozen or so dragoons jumped out and rushed towards the unsuspecting Black Mountain Army.
At the same time that Deng Zhan and the others rushed out of the city, Liu Wei also jumped forward quickly.
The ground was covered with dead leaves, and Liu Wei and the others jumped out, and under the extremely fast speed, they couldn't keep their feet light at all.
Everyone stepped on the dead leaves, making a rapid "rustling" sound.
Hearing the sound, the more than a dozen Montenegrin soldiers hurriedly turned their heads, and two of them reacted a little faster, and while turning their heads, they didn't even discern where the person who pounced on them was, and raised their short spears and stabbed them behind them.
If it were an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that the two Montenegrin troops who pierced with spears would really have some gains. But what they faced was not an ordinary soldier, but a dragoon guard that Liu Wei asked Deng Zhan to specially train for special operations.
The spear stabbed into the chests of the two dragoons, who twisted their bodies as they ran, spun their whole body around, and as they retracted their feet, their arms stabbed like lightning towards the necks of the Black Mountain Army, which was stabbing their spears into their necks.
Almost at the same time, all the Montenegrin troops let out a muffled snort and were knocked to the ground by Liu Wei and others.
A dragoon guard put his knees against the back of a Montenegrin army, crushing him to the ground. The Black Mountain threw up his neck, opened his mouth to scream, and pressed down his dragoon guard and raised his fist and slammed it into his temple.
With a crisp sound of "pop", the temples were beaten, and the Black Mountain Army only felt that his mind was confused, his eyes were dark, his face was planted in the thick fallen leaves, and he passed out.
"Say, who are you waiting for?" Liu Wei put his knees on the back of a Montenegrin army, grabbed the hair of the Montenegrin army with one hand, and pulled out the dagger given to him by Guan Qing from his waist with the other hand, put the dagger on the neck of the Montenegrin army, lowered his voice and asked coldly: "Why do you want to kill those two people?" ”
There was a dagger on his neck, and the Montenegrin army was nervous, and he unconsciously let out a fart. With a fart sound of "poof", a foul smell suddenly spread around.
Holding his breath, he took twenty or thirty breaths, and when he felt that the stench was gone, Liu Wei took a deep breath of the fresh air that had just been restored, pressed the edge of the dagger towards the neck of the Black Mountain Army, and asked coldly: "Tell me quickly, who are you waiting for?" ”
