Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 174 In the Jungle

Stern cries sounded on the gravel-covered hillside, and what followed appeared was a team wearing Persian-style short jackets, black turbans covering their heads, crude swords at their waists, and three-foot-long Persian-style music in their hands. The god warrior of the bow.

There are about 30 to [-] people, and they are slowly moving forward with a transport team composed of sixty or seventy men and a dozen mules and horses.

The cries came from the back of the convoy, where there were about four or five women in coarse clothes, carrying large bags of food.

It can be seen that each of them is trying their best to speed up their pace in order to keep up with the transport team, because if they slow down, they will be hit or stabbed by sticks a few thumbs thick.

It is said that the execution ability of people in this era is really bad. Zhang Zhao has repeatedly instructed Master Titexigu to implement strict walls and clearing the area from Ashi Bulai City to Balasagun.

But in fact, they only removed about [-]% of the people, and there are still many tribes that were searched out by the Persians, and then became slaves of such transport teams.

'Plop! 'A skinny woman fell to the ground. She struggled twice, but couldn't get up. The big grain bag on her back looked bigger than her.

A god warrior walked over with a lewd smile. He deliberately took a stick and slapped the fallen woman's buttocks vigorously.

"You despicable heathen, if you don't get up by the third stroke, I will cut off your feet and throw you on this barren hill to feed the wolves!"

The woman who fell to the ground cried loudly. He tried countless times, but he just couldn't get up.

The women around looked at the woman who fell on the ground with tears streaming down their faces. Just as they were about to help them up, violent sticks suddenly hit them.

"Keep going! Whoever dares to stop will die with her!"

The leader with a Persian-style long knife waved to the last subordinate, signaling him to deal with the woman on the ground quickly.

This kind of woman who can no longer carry a bag of food is of no use to them.

The stick was replaced by a short knife, and the woman on the ground just turned over. She stopped crying, and turned to show fear, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.

'Boom! '' Whoosh! 'Two voices she had never heard before sounded, and an arrow suddenly grew out of the head of the God Warrior who was walking towards him with a dagger.

Blood spurted out from the wound, as if someone splashed a bucket of paint on the God Warrior, his whole face turned red immediately.

The leader of the God Warrior subconsciously raised the small round shield on his arm.

'Pfft! '

Sure enough, the next arrow was aimed at him.

However, the reaction was quick, but the gap in equipment was too great. The short-barrel fine iron crossbow arrows shot by the god-arm bow with the power of two stones and three fights were not something ordinary shields could resist.

The arrow easily penetrated the small round shield that was not even covered with iron, and the sharp arrow directly penetrated into the leader's left eye socket under the terrified gaze of the leader.

The terrifying penetrating force caused the arrow to sink completely, and the leader's head swung back violently, with a 'click' sound, the cervical spine produced a huge displacement.

Immediately afterwards, more dense arrows sounded, and the bushes on the hillside suddenly started to move. As if they had received the signal, the peasants of the transportation team began to jump down to the side of the road one after another.

The seven arrows directly took away the six god fighters, and the real arrows were never in vain.

Ma Yaozi took a deep breath and slid down the slope. He was wearing a green leather armor with a bush with lush branches tied behind his back, and his face was covered with blue-yellow mud.

So even if they were in Chi Chi's ambush, the warriors above and below did not notice them.

With a cry of 'Aw', Ma Yaozi smashed the nearest God Warrior to his face with a single bone, and a soldier of Regret Shandu beside him also hacked to death a panicked guy.

Immediately, the remaining warriors immediately lost the desire to resist. They howled and hated their parents for losing two legs and ran away quickly.

Eight of the twenty or so people were easily killed within 3 minutes, and the rest dared not resist.

"The food was burned, the carts were also burned by them, and the weapons were thrown into the river!"

Ma Yaozi gave orders loudly, their purpose was the food, not killing people. While roaring, he untied the noose of the donkey in front of him, and slapped its ass hard.

The silly donkey was looking at the horse kite with its head tilted. It smelled a familiar smell, rolled its lips a little flatteringly, and wanted to chew the beans in the horse kite's waist pocket.

And this whip made it feel like it was struck by lightning, the donkey looked at the kite horse very aggrievedly, and ran away.

Ma Yaozi smiled mischievously, and suddenly saw the woman on the ground looking at him in horror, hesitated for a while, and put a handful of fried soybeans in the bag at her waist into the woman's hand.

This kind of soybeans specially fried by Erlangjun with mutton oil and salt are a bit sticky because they are covered with a thick layer of oil, but because of this, they are the best ones that are easy to carry and can replenish energy food.

The woman trembled for a moment, and then picked up the soybeans in her hand and chewed them in big mouthfuls.

Ma Yaozi sighed, all the men and women captured by the God Warriors have run away, and I don't know if they will come back again, this woman just stays in the middle of the barren mountains alone, a handful of soybeans may not be able to save her doomed.

Although he didn't have much soybeans left, and he was probably doing useless work, but Ma Yaozi just felt that after doing this, he would feel much better.

But when Ma Yaozi was showing his kindness, Zhang Zhao encountered trouble in the area close to Ashbulai City.

Mr. Zhang Dajun spread out the map in his hand. He was sure that there was a supply point in this place.

However, Wang Tongtong, who went to the supply point to pick up supplies, did not come back at the agreed time.

Either Wang Tongtong and another soldier got lost, or they encountered a situation. Zhang Zhao believed that the probability of the latter situation was higher.

Because before he set off to fight guerrillas on the mountain, Zhang Zhao had already made everyone memorize the combat map.

On the map, the location of the supply point, where to go and where to come back, everything has been discussed in detail by everyone, and getting lost basically does not exist.

Fan Shun leaned over, his father was originally the You Yi envoy of the Guiyi Army Yajun during Zhang Chengfeng's period, and he was in charge of You Yijun.

You Yijun is the army's scout, responsible for spying on information and covering up the army, so Fanshun can be regarded as a family tradition.

"Mr. Erlang, I just found this outside." Fanshun held a branch and showed it to Zhang Zhao. Judging from the wedge-shaped fracture of the branch, it was cut off with a knife.

"We didn't hack this, because it would be too easy to expose ourselves. It seems that Wang Communication has indeed encountered an enemy."

Zhang Zhao nodded lightly. They have strict regulations, and it is absolutely forbidden to use iron tools to damage any place unless it is absolutely necessary.

"In a group of three, advance in a zigzag pattern, cross cover, find someone with similar stature, and put all the leather armor on one person.

Song Yizhong, you take Benhuo as the vanguard, and Fanshun you choose the three sharpshooters as cover. "

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, and it was impossible not to save Wang Tongxun, but he had to beware of traps set by the other side.

Strictly speaking, Song Yizhong is also Zhang Zhao's cousin, but it's just a little far away.

He is short in stature and has an advantage in jungle warfare. Like Barbarian and Dunzhu, he is okay in ambush, but he has little advantage in going through the jungle.

Song Yizhong nodded, and Zhang Zhao took off his chain mail and put it on him.

Among the armors in China, the most popular among the army is actually the chain mail.

Because compared with tie armor and leather armor, chain mail does not have high requirements for body shape, and people who are tall, short, fat or thin can wear each other as long as they are not too different in stature.

Although the armor can also be adjusted, the range is very limited. As for the leather armor, unless the height and weight of two people are similar, it is no different from custom-made ones.

That's why Zhang Zhao didn't bring the armor that was only used in battle, but a leather armor for each person, and each fireman brought a set of chain mail, just to deal with such a situation.

Wang Tongxun crawled behind a big rock, and not far in front of him, there was a soldier who regretted Shandu.

On the soldier's back, there was an arrow whose tail feathers were still gently swaying in the breeze. He was not dead, but was still moaning in a low voice. There seemed to be bright red blood flowing out from under his body.

It was this close distance, but Wang Tongtong did not dare to go forward, because there were at least three sharpshooters aiming at him in the opposite woods.

Wang Tongtong didn't know their exact location, so he didn't dare to go forward, as evidenced by an arrow stuck near the stone.

At the same time, the people on the opposite side did not dare to come easily, and at the side of the Shandu soldier, a bearded man wearing a Persian-style chain armor also fell to the ground. Unfortunately, he was killed directly.

The jungle near summer began to get hot and humid. Mosquitoes sensed the heat around them and began to buzz to find targets.

Wang Tongtong was very anxious, but he didn't dare to get up, because the other side was using the life of this soldier to lure him to appear.

Abu Saleh ibn Nasr was resting with his eyes squinted. He knew from his name that this guy was not an ordinary person.

The two words Ibn and Nasr have special meanings in the Saman Kingdom of Persia, and ordinary people cannot put these two words in their names.

Because the founder of the Saman Kingdom is called Ibn Nasr Ahmed. Although there is no explicit stipulation, except for members of the royal family, outsiders dare not use these two words at all.

As for why, as a member of the royal family, they still come here, it is because the Saman kingdom has flourished to this day, and it can be regarded as a prosperous country, so there are naturally many members of the royal family.

Although it is considered honorable, it is not easy to get ahead. In addition, the governor of Tashkent Province, Ali Duraf, is his uncle, so Abu Nasr simply joined the army.

As a standard nobleman, Abu Nasr's skills are quite good. He started to practice martial arts with his parents at the age of five, and learned fighting from the famous martial arts master in Bukhara at the age of eight.

Although he is only 19 years old this year, in the aristocratic circle of Bukhara, there are few people who are his opponents, and his archery skills are quite good. This is the biggest reason why Ali Dulav is relieved that his nephew will join the army.

Taking a deep breath, Abu Nasr made a gesture to a guard beside him, indicating that if there is still no movement on the opposite side in a while, then he will take a risk and rush over.

These guys are horrible!The scouts in front of the army failed to find them, and they did not appear when the army passed by, but they appeared when the food and supplies began to be delivered.

Either intercept and kill the transport team, or attack the transfer point, attack if there are too many people, and harass if there are few people.

Under their continuous attack, the number of shipments to Balasakun has decreased by about [-]% recently, and the number is still rising. If they are not completely wiped out, the frontline troops will starve.
