Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 15 Attacking and Killing in the Dark Night
On the rugged mountain road, the marching dynasty soldiers held torches like a long winding dragon, stretching for two or three miles.

In the forest on both sides of the mountain path, a pair of fierce eyes were hidden, and under the cover of the night, they approached the soldiers of the dynasty who were marching on the mountain path.

"Crack!" Haotian stood on a rock, whipping a whip in his hand towards a Dynasty soldier.

"You fucking hurry up!" Haotian cursed rudely, his horse stumbled and he couldn't ride anymore, he was in a bad mood.

The soldier who was whipped by the horsewhip ignored the pain on his face and hurried forward, cursing Haotian secretly in his heart.

As a son of aristocrats, Haotian has been honed in the army and is ruthless. Neither the enemy nor his soldiers want to be with this lunatic, but the soldiers dare not speak out.

The soldier who was beaten was in a bad mood. Suddenly, from the darkness, an arrow shot out and pierced his throat. He held his throat and vomited blood. He fell limply to the ground in disobedience.

"Get up!" Haotian saw the soldier fell to the ground, thought he was pretending to be sick, stepped forward, kicked the dead soldier with his boots, and yelled loudly.

However, despite Haotian kicking and beating, the soldiers did not stand up. Haotian felt something was wrong, picked up the torch, squatted down, his pupils shrank suddenly, and saw the arrow on the soldier's throat.

Haotian threw the torch far away, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" He shouted vigilantly.

At this moment, in the forest on both sides, a metal storm swept towards the dynasty soldiers on the mountain road, and a large area of ​​the dynasty soldiers marching in double file was suddenly knocked down.

Haotian hid behind the shield, looked at the forest in the darkness, and cursed himself for being negligent.

Haotian shouted: "Extinguish the torches, extinguish the torches!"

The Dynasty soldiers holding torches became living targets, and many were shot and killed. Under Haotian's reminder, they threw them away in a hurry, and hid behind rocks and bushes.

After several rounds of rain of arrows, the mountain path was already covered with the corpses of soldiers from the dynasty, and the mournful cries of the soldiers who hadn't died echoed in the darkness.

Lin Chuan did not lead people to rush up, but chose to retreat. Although many soldiers of the Dynasty were killed in the surprise attack, even so, Lin Chuan's troops were still weak.

Haotian hoped that the enemies in the darkness would rush up, but Haotian was disappointed. After several rounds of arrow rain, the forest returned to calm.

"The left side of the first team, the right side of the second team, find out these cowards!" Haotian ordered through gritted teeth.

The two squads of soldiers who had been named secretly cursed at the bad luck, and walked out of the hiding place, holding their shields and weapons, and searched the forests on both sides.

In the dark night, the mountain road and the forest were extremely quiet, occasionally a wolf howled from the distant mountains, Haotian waited anxiously.

"Ah!" Suddenly, someone from the search team on the right screamed.

Haotian's expression tightened, "What's going on!"

Someone replied: "I stepped on the trap", and soon the soldier whose sole was pierced was carried out.

Seeing the soldiers' bloody soles, Haotian had no choice but to light torches, with swords and shields in front and archers behind, to search the forest.

After two hours of tossing, except for the discarded broken arrows, Haotian found nothing. According to statistics, several rounds of arrow rain caused him heavy losses. More than 100 dynasty soldiers were killed in battle, and many more were injured.

The morale of the chasing troops of the Dynasty, which was originally high, suddenly dropped after such a surprise attack by Lin Chuan.

Unable to catch the sneak attacking enemy, he hastily buried the dead soldiers, and Haotian once again led his troops to chase forward.

But before he had gone far, another wave of arrows rained down in the darkness, and the Dynasty soldiers who were caught off guard were shot and killed another dozen people.

When Haotian led his people into the forest, he still didn't catch anything, and Haotian was so angry that his teeth itched.

Compared with Haotian, who has thousands of troops under his command, the loss of a dozen men is a small problem, but the blow to morale is a big problem.

"Shields guard the sides, and archers fight back at any time!" Haotian gritted his teeth at the sneak attacking enemy.

But even so, from time to time, cold arrows were shot out from the forest in the dark night, and soldiers of the dynasty were shot to death from time to time. Although Haotian had always been known for being ruthless, there was nothing he could do at this moment.

All the dynasty soldiers were trembling. Although they were marching, they were cautious and kept praying in their hearts, hoping not to be topped by the secret enemy archers. As a result, the marching speed could not help but slow down.

In the middle of the night, the night raiders led by Lin Chuan suffered casualties. According to the predetermined plan, the Xingtu soldiers who were in charge of shooting cold arrows shot away with one arrow and never stayed.

But the two Xingtu archers had just shot the arrows in their hands, and before they had time to check the results of the battle, a rain of arrows came from among the soldiers of the dynasty, and the Xingtu soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were shot and injured on the spot.

Haotian quickly led people into the forest, making it too late for the rest of them to go up to rescue them. They could only watch the two Xingtu soldiers surrounded by Wang Dynasty soldiers and arrested them.

Soon, the heads of the two Xingtu soldiers were hung high on the tip of the Dynasty Dragon Flag, which made the secret Xingtu fighters angry.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the enemy was prepared, Lin Chuan knew that if he continued, it would only increase casualties, so he ordered to retreat.

Although Lin Chuan led his men to retreat, there were still some traps on the mountain road from time to time for the soldiers of the Dynasty to fall into them.

For example, the suddenly rolling rocks, the traps full of sharp wood under the feet, etc., all tossed down overnight, making Chaobing soldiers miserable.

In the end, Haotian ordered to set up camp on the spot, and wait until dawn before continuing to pursue. Lin Chuan and others also completed the task and returned to the camp.

For several days in a row, there were always various obstacles on the road ahead of Haotian that delayed their progress. Either the bridge crossing the river was burned and they had to find a new place to cross the river, or the soldiers drank water with diarrhea , had to take a day off.

After coming and going, the distance between Lin Chuan and his pursuers gradually widened. After a week of marching, Lin Chuan and others also walked out of the central mountainous area of ​​Gyeonggi Province and entered the eastern plain.

Compared with the mountains, the roads in the plains extend in all directions, and the checkpoints set up by the dynasty and the patrols on the provincial roads gradually increased.

On February [-]th, Lin Chuan and others left the mountains and entered the eastern plains.

After entering the plains, what he saw made Lin Chuan frown secretly. The land along the way was full of weeds, and the villages were dilapidated. Except for the arrogant dynasty cavalry, he didn't see a living person all day, and the headless corpse beside the road Lots and lots of stench.

"My lord, I caught a rout." Xiao Zhan came to report.

Lin Chuan let go of his thoughts and walked forward with Xiao Zhan. Ye Fei, who was in charge of the scout team, caught a man with disheveled hair at this moment. He was wearing the black clothes that Xing Tujun only had.

After some interrogation, he turned out to be from Kaili, the commander of the Xingtu Army. Lin Chuan didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and hurriedly reported to Caton.

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
