31, startled string
"Brother, what you just said actually has another possibility!"
Zhao Hong seemed to have figured out something suddenly, and shouted, then met Li Pian's surprised eyes and said excitedly:
"It is precisely because Huangfu Song, the leading army, was a famous general who wiped out the Yellow Turbans, and because he was once dismissed from his post in the second year of Zhongping, he was more cautious this time and would never take the risk to rescue Chen Cang easily. It is precisely because of the chaos in the world that the unscrupulous generals in the court had to re-activate Huangfu Song. In this way, no matter how many dissatisfactions there were in the court, at least the Han court would not be able to dismiss him before the war ended. In this way,"
"In this way, the coalition forces will not only fail to attack aid, but will instead waste themselves to death!"
Yan Xing just interrupted and added the next sentence. At this moment, his eyes burst out with light. The reason is not that everyone does not understand, but some people deliberately choose to ignore it. Now even if he is reluctant, he has to admit that the coalition forces are in danger, and the leader of the coalition forces is using the lives of these 70,000 to 80,000 people to make a big bet.
Li Pian was silent. He had just made a strong spirit to cheer up the two of them, but in fact he was not sure. The current situation was already confusing and it was difficult to tell the future. After hearing what Zhao Hong and Yan Xing said, he had to admit in his heart that this possibility was also great. However, how could Li Pian, who had always been heroic and generous, admit his inner sorrow in person? He had to drink another sip of strong wine at himself and remain silent.
"Woo--"
Suddenly, a short horn sounded harshly. Li Pian, who was silent, shuddered and threw down his wine bag, and said in surprise and joy:
"Enemy attack!"
What was shocked was that this was the trumpet that only happened to the enemy, but what was happy was that the Han army was really here.
However, as soon as he said that, he felt it was impossible for him to go out. In this kind of ice and snow weather, the army rarely chose to raid long distances. The bad weather would reduce the military's combat power halfway halfway. It was obvious that the Han army could not be so stupid. They ran over to die from the snow and ice. However, the sound of the horn was indeed an alarm from the foot of the mountain. Just as he was hesitant, Yan Xing, who was standing beside him, had turned his horse's head and was about to run down the hill. He didn't turn his head and left a sentence.
"I heard that the sound came from below. I'm afraid I'll see the enemy first!"
Although Yan Xing did not believe that the Han army would travel long distances in the snow, he heard the rush of the horn just now. This must be the attack of the soldiers who were blowing the horn. Yan Xing rode Zhao Yebai and rushed down without thinking.
The bow and arrow were always carried with him. Yan Xing carried the bow handle, his eyes were bright and energetic. Zhao Yebai under his seat was also full of spirituality. He controlled the downhill speed steadily, and reserved a short period of observation for Yan Xing.
Li and Yan were both skilled in bowing and horses, and they carried weapons on the mountain to appreciate snow on the mountain, so they left more than a dozen followers under the hill. They had already found a slope to shelter from the wind, but unexpectedly something happened now.
At this time, there was a cavalry guarding the shelter in the wind. Seeing Yan Xing riding down first, he hurriedly came up to report to Yan Xing.
"Yan Jun, some of the brothers who had just taken sheltered from the wind discovered signs of some people leaving behind by the woods, and took a few people to follow him. Unexpectedly, the sound of a trumpet sounded in the forest soon, and the remaining brothers rushed over!"
Yan Xing carefully observed the messy horse hoof prints on the ground. Obviously, the sound of the horn just now made the other followers nervous, and quickly rode their horses over. Following the traces of the horse hoof, his vision continued to the edge of the forest. The sound of fighting was vaguely heard in the forest. There were still a few horses scattered outside the forest, afraid that they were the first followers who touched them and were left behind because they were afraid of being shocked by the grass.
In response to these clues, Yan Xing's mind began to spin rapidly. From the moment, the cavalry guards could never encounter a large-scale enemy, and after the opponent was found, they could force the guards to blew the horn to encounter the enemy. Obviously, they were not ordinary people. They might be scouts of the Han army, deserters of the coalition forces, and thieves in the mountains...
Holding the bow handle in his hand tightly, Yan Xing said quickly in an unspeakable tone:
"You stay and protect Li and Zhao, the two gentlemen, I'll go and have a look first!"
After saying that, Yan Xing urged the horse, and Zhao Yebai stepped out his four hooves and headed towards the forest, leaving the sound of the guards whistling by. Yan Xing rode his horse close to the forest. At this time, the sound of fighting had weakened. He looked out from the forest. Although the leaves in the woods fell out in winter, the dead branches still blocked most of the view, and he could only see black figures shaking in the forest.
Yan Xing took a deep breath of air conditioning, pulled out the arrow with his right hand and stepped on the bowstring, moving towards the direction that had just made a sound, avoiding the dense tree branches while moving forward, and secretly guarding against the movements around him.
Walking in the direction of making a sound for a while, the field of vision in front of me suddenly became widened. The clearing of the clearings in the forest was obviously sorted out. Most of the snow was cleared, and the small trees next to them were cut down, leaving only small stumps. Three people and a horse lay in the middle of the clearings, among which there were guards and others, and the blood stained the snow red. The remaining dozens of guards were laid into a circular formation, with the horses at the outermost point, the shields were on the second layer of protection, and the bows and arrows were in the middle, and the arrows were aimed at several directions. The guards were looking at their ears sideways to wary of every move around them.
In the middle of the round formation was a entourage under Li Pian. When he saw Yan Xing riding a horse from a distance, his face suddenly became nervous and he hurriedly made a series of gestures to Yan Xing, who had not yet approached. Yan Xing was not a fool. Although he could not see the specific situation from his gestures, the other party's movements and reactions had already expressed a dangerous meaning. Judging from the formation they formed, he was afraid that the opponent they met was a sharpshooter.
Fighting in the forest is often full of dangers. If you still want to charge in a high-headed horse like a plain, you must be the fastest dead person. Yan Xing quickly dismounted, tied the arrow bag around his waist, left Zhao Yebai in place, lowered his body, and continued to approach the side of the dense forest in the forest.
The leather boots rustled on the snow, and Yan Xing deliberately adjusted his pace to ensure that he could dodge and move at the first time when facing a sneak attack. He moved forward carefully. At this time, only by keeping not making too loud noises can he avoid disturbing the enemies lurking in the dark, and achieve his goal of finding enemies from the side and circumventing them.
"Swoosh--"
The wind in the forest was very small, and the sound of the arrow breaking through the air seemed very harsh. Yan Xing immediately squatted down behind a tree in front of him, and opened his bow and took the arrow to alert the direction of the arrow shooting just now.
At this time, someone was already caught in the field. The cunning enemy had been looking for the gap in the circle in the dense forest outside the open space. Just now, a guard holding a shield shook his arm and immediately found an opportunity for the enemy who was waiting for an opportunity to attack. The arrow quickly drilled into the protective circle and shot the arm of a guard holding a bow and arrow.
The field quickly adjusted the target, and the guards who fired the arrows shot several arrows at the place where the cold arrows had just been shot. Unfortunately, they didn't hit them. Instead, there was another "rustling" sound of snow. The enemy shot another arrow into the round formation. However, this arrow was obviously not as tricky as the one, and was blocked by the guards who re-arranged the formation.
There is no doubt that the other party is definitely a veteran hunting player in the forest. He is good at lurking and hiding, and patiently waiting for his opponent's flaws. With this tricky archery technique in the dense forest, no wonder he could make more than ten people in his side breathless. Yan Xing looked at everything that had just happened in the field, and he was sure that his opponent was a person who was good at jungle hunting. As for where he came from, it is unknown now. He took a deep breath and continued to cat-cat and use the trees around him to detour in the original direction.
At this time, the guards in the field also formulated countermeasures. They formed a round formation and began to advance head-on. They were also frustrated by being suppressed by the enemy. At this moment, they had already made plans to stay the other party at the cost of killing and injuring several people. So they all advanced from the front, intending to use the tortoise shell formation to deal with the enemy's tricky arrows.
At this time, another arrow flew out of the forest, but the guards who had turned into the tortoise shell formation easily blocked the opponent's arrow. Seeing that the enemy's strength seemed to be exhausted, the arrows began to lose power. The guards' morale rose greatly. They quickly accelerated their pace, and at the same time, they used a shield to tightly protect their upper body and rushed towards the dense forest.
"Swoosh--"
The sound of breaking through the air sounded again, and the guards immediately slowed down to prevent the gap between the shields from being too large during the running. But obviously, the arrow was not shot at them, but at the prisoners who were lying on the field.
Two of the three people in the field were shot and killed, and the other was seriously injured and captured enemy. The guard who had just been shot and injured in the arm was able to continue fighting, and after bandaging it, he reluctantly held up the shield and joined the advance team. So no one was guarding the field. No one thought that the archer hiding in the dark had spent so long with them, and it was to shoot his accomplices!
The guards who were trapped in a trap were furious and shouted immediately, regardless of the danger, and turned into a normal formation, speeding up their pace and rushed into the forest. The archer hidden in the dark saw that his purpose had been achieved, and did not care about these guards who were fooled by him. He held the bow and arrow, turned around and ran away.
Years of experience in hunting in the dense forest have enabled him to develop the ability to run like a flying in the dense forest. The guards chased the enemy in the dense forest, and because of the barriers of trees and in order to avoid the stumbling roots, they often could not increase the speed to the fastest. However, the archer was as flexible as a monkey, and his agile body was shuttled through the forest, not affected by the trees at all. As the distance between the two sides became farther and farther, the enemy was about to completely escape from the guards' sight.
"call out--"
