Chapter 141 Hunting and Being Hunted

Li Ye led five soldiers to cross the Qinggang Ridge and entered the boundary of Shuofang. The hills in this area are low and undulating, because of the melting water from the high mountains and ice and snow. Although there is not much precipitation, there is no shortage of water sources. Lush greenery can be seen everywhere, forests and grasslands are everywhere. .

However, the population is very small, mainly composed of Qiang people, who also live on animal husbandry and hunting, and basically do not have any agriculture.

Li Ye knew that in the Song Dynasty, Xixia would build a lot of buildings here, build many cities, and relocate the population, making this area the foundation for a hundred years of resistance to the Song Dynasty.

But now it is the Tang Dynasty, there is basically no population, and there is not even a village in sight.

"Team is, here it appears again!"

The soldiers found another pile of horse dung, and Li Ye gently pulled it with a branch. The horse dung was very fresh, which meant that the cavalry passed by about an hour ago.

Li Ye was tracking a cavalry, which they found in the Maling Valley to the south, was also a group of 20 spies from the same Luo army.

The spies retreated when they saw them, and retreated for more than 100 miles, crossing Qinggangling.

Li Ye knew very well that there were 20 people on the other side, so of course he would not be afraid of the six of them. They were just afraid of escaping by themselves, so they lured the enemy into deep, and then cut off their retreat, captured their spy team alive, and inquired about the intelligence of the imperial army. .

Li Ye is also a bold person with high skills. The other party treats them as prey, so why not the other party as prey? Everyone is a hunter, and it depends on who can hunt whom?

Wang Yu pointed to the small river in front of him: "Team Zheng, I feel that they will definitely be waiting for us in front of the small river!"

"You guys wait here, I'll go to a higher place to have a look!"

Li Ye galloped to the hill not far away, and soon ran up the hill, and the vision in front of him suddenly widened.

They are located at the uppermost reaches of Anle River. A small river meanders to the north, with grasslands on both sides and large forests.

Li Ye's eyes fell on the forest closest to them, about two miles away from them. If they walked along the river, this forest was the only way to go.

Li Ye's eyesight was excellent, he vaguely saw a black shadow slowly climbing down on the tallest tree, and the other party obviously saw him and reported down.

Li Ye ran back to the place where the crowd gathered, stepped forward and said to the crowd: "The other party should be lying in ambush in the woods ahead, we split into two groups, Wang Yu led four brothers to the other side of the woods, and waited for the other party to escape sporadically." At that time, you are responsible for shooting horses and catching alive ones."

Wang Yu was taken aback. Isn't this just that the team is going to deal with the enemy alone?

"Captain, let me go with you!"

Although Wang Yu was an old soldier, after following Li Ye for more than ten days, his rascal aura gradually subsided, and his military style began to appear. He was no longer as lazy and slippery as before, but began to face danger bravely.

There have never been soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, only generals who refuse to lead the way.

Li Ye shook his head and said: "The four of them are recruits, I don't worry about it, I take them with me, I feel relieved, and a mere 20 people are not enough for me to fill my teeth."

Li Ye patted the flying knife sheath on his waist. He has 24 flying knives on his body. He can use bows and arrows far away and throwing knives close up. They can almost wipe out more than half of the enemy soldiers.

Wang Yu had seen his ability with his own eyes, and knew that what the team said was true, and that 20 people were no match for him, so he nodded, "Just follow my orders!"

He waved his hand, "Follow me!"

He led four soldiers in a big circle and ran to the north of the forest.

After the five men walked away, Li Ye urged the horse to run towards the forest in a calm manner.

About 150 steps away from the forest, Li Ye stopped advancing. He took off his bow and arrow, opened his bow and shot an arrow at the top of the tree. The arrow was so fast that the spies on the tree couldn't dodge in time. It fell from the tip.

Li Ye immediately reined in his horse and confronted the opponent patiently. As time passed, Li Ye had no intention of entering the forest at all, it just depends on who can lose his temper first.

A quarter of an hour later, Centurion Tong Luo in the forest couldn't hold his breath any longer. With a loud roar, he rushed out with twenty of his men and shot arrows at Li Ye together.

Arrows were like rain, Li Ye galloped his horse towards Xiaohe, dodged the opponent's arrows, dozens of detectives from the same Luo pursued closely, they managed to lure the Tang army's spies to Shuofang, how could they easily let the other party go.

The head centurion shouted: "Shoot horses, don't shoot people, catch alive!"

Li Ye rushed into the forest and left the enemy army out of the forest. A beautiful anti-customer took the initiative, and he took the initiative.

He immediately drew out three arrows and shot them. The cavalryman running in the front was shot in the face by an arrow. The powerful arrow shot through the skull and into the skull, and the rider screamed and fell off the horse.

Immediately afterwards, the second arrow and the third arrow arrived. The arrows were as fast as lightning.puff! 'Two arrows hit the head, and the two cavalrymen fell on their backs.

Most of the time, most archers can hit the target with their arrows in competition or training, almost all of them hit the target, but the effect is not good in actual combat. The reason is also very simple. People are not targets, and targets will not If you can't move, you can't dodge, but people can dodge and hold up their shields to block arrows, so it's very difficult to shoot.

However, many fierce generals still shot every arrow on the battlefield, such as Pei Xingyan, who also hit every shot on the battlefield in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and every arrow would surely pierce the human body.

The reason lies in the speed, the speed is determined by the power, the stronger the firing power, the faster the initial speed, the speed of the arrows shot by these fierce generals is basically two to three times that of ordinary archers, the opponent often has no time to react, and the arrows are in front of them Yes, unless you are highly skilled in martial arts, there is no way to hide.

When the enemy soldiers approached the forest, Li Ye shot two more arrows, and the two cavalrymen in the front fell off their horses.

Li Ye then turned his horse's head and ran to the depths of the forest.

At this moment, he turned into a hunter, and he would in turn hunt and kill fifteen fellow spies who were following him.

"Keep an eye on his dark horse!" cried the centurion.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the figure of a black horse galloping south.

"In front, hurry up!"

More than a dozen Tongluo soldiers chased after them with all their strength. At this moment, a few cold lights flashed in the east. The five soldiers who were running were shot through the temples by flying knives, and they all screamed and fell off their horses.

The other soldiers were so frightened that they quickly reined in their horses, hid behind the big tree, and stared nervously at the east.

Suddenly there was a whistle from the east, and the horses that had run away turned around and came back.

"Behind the biggest tree!"

The centurion whispered to the crowd: "Spread out and surround him!"

Everyone dismounted from their horses, holding crossbow arrows, and approached the tree little by little from three directions.

Li Ye suddenly jumped out from behind the big tree, rolled forward, and shot out two throwing knives in his hand. At the same time, several crossbow arrows shot out powerfully, swishing and piercing the ground he had just turned over.

A cold light flashed, and the two spies in front were shot through their foreheads with flying knives, screamed twice, and fell to the ground on their backs.

The others were so scared that they hid behind the big tree. Seizing the momentary opportunity, Li Ye jumped on the horse and ran eastward.
