Chapter 014 Ambush
The morning in the north is extremely cold. The cold air that had not dissipated last night and the slight frost of the dew in the early morning make people not want to go early.
However, in the mountains with the heaviest humidity, a long queue was walking slowly on the mountain road. They were not thinking about early birds eating something, but the fact that the army's life was really hard to violate.
In the center of this group of teams are carriages covered with tarpaulin. A small flag is erected at one end of each carriage, with a burning pale flame painted on it. Anyone who is familiar with the military of Brand Kingdom will know that this is the symbol of the Cangyan Legion. As for the team in front of you, the transport team that delivered supplies to the Cangyan Legion was naturally no longer running.
The entire team was long because of the scattered walk, but the infantry captain who was riding a horse in front did not turn around and scold him. It was already disgusting to get up so early in the winter. If the military discipline officers were asked to rectify the military appearance, wouldn’t the soldiers curse in their hearts... Although the captain didn’t care that the soldiers scolded him for his mother who had been dead for many years, it was meaningless, right?
The soldiers kept a neat square formation in order to accurately complete offensive, defense and other tactical actions in sequence and accurately when the commander ordered. But is it necessary now? Will there be bandits who dare to rob the Cangyan Legion's supplies?
The infantry captain yawned a big yawn and couldn't help but complain: "Damn, these damn military officials are not reliable at all, and they actually leaked some supplies from the Cangyan Legion... Isn't this harmful to people in the middle of winter? Alas, we are always those who suffer."
"Captain, the terrain ahead... should we send some scouts to investigate first?" Just as the infantry captain was in full resentment, a small team leader came over to ask for instructions.
"……What did you say?"
The team leader had no choice but to repeat the question again.
The infantry captain looked up and found that there was a canyon in front of him. The mountain walls on both sides were quite high, and the road was walking in the middle. This was an absolutely dangerous place in military tactics and an excellent ambush. No wonder the captain came to ask for instructions.
"No need, keep going." The infantry captain waved his hand indifferently. What a joke? Once the soldiers stopped to rest, they would have to work harder to continue to urge them.
"Uh, yes." The captain took the order and left, with no anxious expression on his face. He just reminded him that no one dared to rob military supplies...
The team continued to advance according to the original speed. They didn't know, but someone really dared to make the idea of military supplies.
In the bushes on the mountain in front, several people were watching the movements of the transport team.
"Tsk, this idiot, didn't send a scout to search the mountain?"
"Uncle Darren, don't say that. This idiot saved us a lot of trouble."
There is no doubt that these people were Darren and others who came to rob the food.
After laughing at Darren, Borg turned around and said to a big man behind him, "Go and call everyone over, remember, move lightly. Never make any noise."
The big man nodded to show his understanding and retreated backwards.
"The transportation team is coming. I don't know if the Arthur brothers are ready? Tsk, I've arranged a few people for him and refused. Can this person work?" Darren looked around and asked whisperedly.
After arriving here last night, Tang En said that he was looking for the assassination site, and then disappeared.
"Arthur is fine." Joshia, who seemed quite nervous because of the first action, still expressed support for Don En.
"I hope so." Borg said calmly.
...
After a while, the vanguard of the transport team began to enter the canyon. The gray-clothed army quietly moved the ambush forward.
Borg frowned: "Brother Arthur, haven't you done it?"
"Wait a little longer, he will do it." Joshia watched nervously, hoping to find Tang En.
Darren tightened his hands and great sword: "It should be this time."
After a while, it was quiet around, and Tang En still didn't do anything. At this time, the transportation team was about to approach the center of the canyon.
"No, I'll miss it if I wait for another opportunity." Borg raised his left hand.
Suddenly, everyone around them slowly tightened their bows and arrows and pointed them down.
Of course, the bows and arrows of the Gray Clothing Army are not regular products. Most of them are bent from cork. The arrow branches are also made of wood. Fortunately, there are blacksmiths in the Gray Clothing Army, so the arrows can still be wrapped in a layer of iron.
Of course, the damage of this kind of bow and arrow is far behind that of the military-style bow and arrow, but now it is condescending and the distance is so close, which is enough.
On the other side, the first commando led by Darren leaned over to the lunge and rushed out after the bow and arrow was shot out.
The first target of these two attacks was naturally the infantry captain riding on the horse. As long as he was destroyed, the overall situation was decided.
"Oh, it seems that Brother Arthur still lacks some courage and needs exercise." Borg said regretfully, then waved his left hand.
Joshia bit her lips and was silent, staring at the infantry captain with her eyes tightly. She really didn't believe that Tang En would be a deserter.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed through her eyes.
Bang!
The ground in front of the infantry captain's horse suddenly collapsed, and earth and rocks flew, and then a black figure flashed to the horse with lightning speed.
In an instant, the infantry captain was stunned. Where did this man come from? The ground... why did the ground crack?
You should know that the captain is not at the forefront of the team. There are still some pathfinders in front of him, but why did these soldiers walk over safely? When it was his turn, the ground suddenly cracked?
The infantry captain couldn't figure it out, and of course, he didn't have the chance to figure it out.
A little red light came with the figure, and the confused infantry captain almost had no reaction... Oh, a little reaction, his hand subconsciously put on the hilt of the sword at his waist. However, this did not prevent the red light from entering through the gap between his armor and then disappearing into his throat.
Immediately afterwards, the black figure stomped the horse's head, leveraged the force to penetrate the mountain peaks next to the road, and quickly disappeared among the lush forests and grasses.
Well……
The officers and soldiers of the transport team were stunned. Everything happened just between breathing and could not tolerate any reaction. The soldiers walking in front of the infantry captain didn't even know that something was wrong behind them. What was going on...
Not to mention these soldiers, even the gray-clothed army who were mentally prepared were stunned.
Darren opened his mouth wide and his body was still leaning forward. Who was that just now? Arthur?
Borg's expression was not much better. He widened his eyes and looked down, as if he confirmed that what had just happened was not an hallucination...
Relatively speaking, Joshia seemed much calmer. She discovered Tang En's surprise attack at the first time, so although she was surprised, she was more proud. Tang, you did not disappoint me...
Near - the long roar of war horses.
Tang En's kick just now was extremely powerful, and the horse's head was now falling directly to the ground.
Bang——The body of the infantry captain was also thrown out.
These two voices woke everyone up.
"Damn..." A small team leader cursed and was about to rush forward to check the captain's situation. Suddenly,
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The sky was dark, and the bows and arrows were pouring down like rain, completely covering most of the transportation team.
"Enemy attack...well!"
The shouting team leader was unlucky and was shot into his mouth by a bow and arrow, and his head was raised and he fell to the ground.
The mountain road is so big, it is completely unobstructed, and the soldiers running around in a hurry below have become targets. The gray-clothed army members do not need to aim at the bows, just shoot in places with dense crowds, and there is almost no possibility of shooting miss.
After a rapid rain of arrows, the soldiers of the transport team suffered heavy casualties. Without waiting for them to breathe,
"kill!"
With a loud roar, Darren rushed out with a big sword in the first place, and charged downward quickly with a gentle slope. Behind him, more than a hundred men roared excitedly, waving their long sword and rushed down.
Some soldiers were chopped to the ground before they could react. Darren and others charged quickly divided the transport team into two pieces.
Immediately afterwards, the gray-clothed army, who had shot the arrow, quickly replaced the melee sword and rushed down with shouts to form a second charge.
"Don't be chaotic, fight back with a knife. Don't be chaotic..." A small team leader shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to regain combat power. However, most of the soldiers were stunned, defeated and responded to the mountain. At this time,
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several ice arrows suddenly exploded on the shouting team leader, directly overturning him to the ground.
"Magic! God of Light, they have magicians..."
Dozens of condensed soldiers looked at the captain covered in white frost and screamed in horror.
The magician is really the slap dream of ordinary soldiers. If a high-level magic is covered, a soldier in his fifties may die directly. Of course, they did not know that Joshia was just a junior magician.
At this point, morale completely collapsed...
The soldiers of the transport team gave up their resistance and ran around like headless flies, thinking of leaving here. The gray-clothed army members were chasing and chasing the mountains and fields with quick knives.
Cheers, screams, and the sound of the knife entering the flesh... This is a Shura field.
At this time, Joshia and Borg stood up from the bushes.
Joshia's expression was a little unbearable, although she had expected it, and even though she knew that this was war, either you die or I die, there was no luck. But when she really faced it, Joshia found that she still couldn't adapt, and she wanted to vomit now...
Huh... Joshiya, you have to persevere. This is the path you choose, and this is also the necessary path. When the reform is successful, everything will be fine...
Unlike Joshia who is trying to adjust her mood, Borg is already commonplace with the scene in front of him.
