The big man is on the run

Chapter 38

"General, how many rangers are there in Taniguchi ahead!"

"Is there an ambush?!"

The bright moon hung high, under the clear light, the flesh on Wu Xi's face trembled, and his black face full of potholes showed a hesitant look.

In the distance, there is a dark green valley in the dark night, crawling there quietly, as if it is a giant beast that wants to choose someone to devour at any time.

"Then there are boulders on both sides of the official road?"

The scout shook his head and replied with certainty: "Absolutely not, it's all made of loess. We checked thoroughly when we came here, and it's only been half an hour now. There are only soil and trees on such a steep hillside, and there are no huge rocks around. Used to block roads."

Wu Xi calmed down a little, and when he rode his horse and saw Taniguchi's bluffing cavalry pawns doing useless work in the mud after the rain with their ponytails only dragging branches, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Brothers, just rush over there. If the enemy had made arrangements, they would have lined up and blocked the valley long ago. It's just a bluff!"

Wu Xi took the lead, and the rest of Xiliang's fierce soldiers who "do not accept them at night" followed up with the chief general with howls.

There are no boulders to block the way, and no enemies lined up with large shields and spears in the valley. Even if there are ambushes, is it possible to stop them with bows and arrows?That would really underestimate them, the fierce soldiers under Guo Si's command.

When they arrived at the mouth of the valley, as expected, several rangers who were bluffing went straight into the valley.

What must be said here is that the south side of the valley is a small stream (a small tributary of the Bashui River), and the north side is the official road.

For the Yebushou cavalry from east to west, their perspective is that the creek is on the left and the official road is on the right.

It stands to reason that even if there are ambushes or road blockers on the mountain, they should appear on the right side.

Because appearing on the steep hill on the left means rushing down from the mountain and facing a stream that can submerge to the waist (more than one meter).

This is undoubtedly extremely stupid.

The infantry ambush soldiers had to bind their hands and feet when they rushed down from the mountain, and were killed wantonly by the freely moving cavalry on the official road.

How brainless, can you do such a stupid thing?
Therefore, the scouts under Wu Xi's command only went up to the steep hill on the right side to conduct a careful investigation, while on the left side, they only sent a few symbolic people.

"Shhhh~"

The scouts whistling startled a crowd of birds, and they already knew in their hearts that there should be no one in ambush in this area.

Where there are no birds is where the ambush is, what a trick of the rivers and lakes!

He couldn't believe that there was no ambush when he came more than half an hour ago, and now the ambush appeared, and he even waited here, waiting for the birds to fall back before being startled away by him.

After the scout whistled, he suddenly felt that he had some kind of impulse.

Seeing that his companions didn't see him, he took off his pants and began to pee towards the bushes.

The exhilaration of fishing at work and the sense of immorality revealed in the forest made the scout's mentality extremely complicated. With the trembling of the tailbone, the relaxation was hastily ended.

Then the scout caught up with his companions and went down the mountain together with his pants up, preparing to ride his horse through this undisturbed valley.

He didn't know that when he walked away, a drenched teenager stuck his head out angrily in the bushes.

Jiang Jiong wiped his mouth, feeling a fire in his heart.

"call out!"

At the foot of the mountain, Huangfu Li led a few rangers and galloped past, bent their bows and set arrows on their horses, and wantonly shot and killed the Yebuchai pursuers behind them.

These are Guo Si's most elite troops!
How can there be a chance to shoot indiscriminately on weekdays?

Yebu received the pursuers at the back and patrolled the valley mouth without daring to enter, waiting for the scouting results from the mountain scouts, the bowstring in his hand was already wet and unusable.

And this made Wu Xi more and more sure of one thing, that is, these rangers were definitely not sent out by the Xinfeng Camp after the war, and they took a small path to copy in front of them.

Because if Xinfeng Camp sent them after the war, their bowstrings and arrow feathers must have been wet.

Coupled with the fact that the scouts who came down the mountain confirmed their safety, Wu Xi completely concluded that these rangers were the ones who had been sent out to be on guard before, and now they are taking the initiative to bluff in order to delay them!

For the Xiliang army to accept these arrogant soldiers at night, how can there be any reason why they should not fight back after being beaten?

"Come on!" Wu Xi sneered, "Catch up and kill them!"

"kill!"

"Da da da~"

The frenzied sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded, and the Xiliang Yebujing, who was attacking at full speed, narrowed the distance with Huangfu Li and the others in a very short time.

"Aw~ha!"

Wu Xi took the lead, piercing the air with the big knife in his hand, and slashed towards Huangfu Li with a palpitating hum.

"Hmph! Bug carving trick!"

Huangfu Li turned around suddenly at once, avoiding the most fatal blow.

Then Huangfu Li cut horizontally with his saber, and the ring-shou saber struck Wu Xi's horse's head as if directed by his arm.

"you dare!"

Wu Xi was startled and angry, and had no choice but to hastily parry with his sword.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Wu Xi was knocked out of the weapon.

Huangfu Li was not greedy for merit, so he rode his horse and continued to run along the official road until he came to a certain marked point before starting to slow down.

"Shut up!"

"General, have these boys stopped?"

Wu Xi suddenly looked up, but saw that the few rangers in front actually stopped, abandoned their horses and started wading across the stream.

"They want to climb the steep hill to escape? Good idea!"

"Boys, follow me!"

Huangfu Li waded and swam, and even bent his bow to cover his shots in the shallow water until the quiver on his back was empty.

"Brother Huangfu, come up quickly!"

The Yebuchai pursuers were almost at the edge of the stream, and Huangfu Li was the last one to climb up Tensuo, intending to climb up the steep hill and retreat.

Calculating the time, the dam was about to be opened to release the water.

Huangfu Li was already two or three meters away from the ground. At this moment, Wu Xi, who was chasing after him, suddenly showed a strange smile on his fleshy face.

I saw him pull out a spare short-armed riding bow from the tarpaulin on the side of the horse, which hadn't been exposed to rain!
Wu Xi's thick arm muscles swelled high, and the bowstring "squeaked" tight, shaped like a full moon, as if it would break in the next second.

His feathered arrow aimed at Huangfu Li's back.

"call out!"

At this moment, an arrow shot from the steep hill!
It was Liu Yi who saw Wu Xi's movements through the moonlight reflected on the surface of the stream, and shot the arrow in his hand without hesitation.

It's a pity that Wu Xi reacted quickly, turned his body sideways, and only shot Wu Xi's arm.

Even so, Wu Xi was startled into a cold sweat when he heard the howling sound of arrows coming from his side, and seeing the feathered arrow pierced into his arm.

His arrow was also released in shock, hitting Huangfu Li's left shoulder blade instead of the back of his heart.

Huangfu Li snorted, holding Tengsuo with one hand, unable to fall, but also unable to climb up, he could only hang about three meters above the ground, and three meters away from the top of the hill.

In order to save Huangfu Li, Liu Yi released the arrows too early. These arrows were originally used to call and kill them after they were washed away by the water.

But things have come to this, the ambush soldiers on the steep hill had no choice but to shoot arrows, and the horses below neighed in shock.

"Hahaha, do you want to stop here?"

After the random arrows, Wu Xi, who was hit by the arrows, was not only not afraid, but saw the ambushes panicked, and there were only twenty or thirty pairs of bows and crossbows, so he couldn't help laughing.

The Ye Bu Shou cavalrymen also laughed wildly, and even the fierce Ye Bu Shou got off their horses directly, intending to take care of these ambush soldiers before moving on.
