"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 263
In the dark night, the scouts and light cavalry trotted their horses holding torches, and headed towards the direction where the banner leader Fatty Lu and the others left.
The ten members of the scout team will be experienced veterans. When they marched in the dark, their sharp eyes were also vigilantly looking around at the situation around them.
"stop!"
When passing through a field, the ten generals riding horses on one side of the team suddenly made a gesture and ordered to stop advancing.
The scouts also immediately drew out the sabers around their waists as if they were facing an enemy, extinguished the torches in their hands, and stared vigilantly at the surrounding darkness, ready to fight.
There was silence in the surrounding darkness, and they could even hear each other's heavy breathing.
"Boss, it seems that there are no enemies."
A young scout looked around before lowering his voice.
"Do you smell anything?" The ten generals sniffed with their noses and asked in a low voice.
The scouts also sniffed carefully, only to find that there was a faint smell of blood.
"It seems to be the smell of blood." A scout said solemnly.
The ten scouts looked at the dark field ahead, and ordered: "Go, go ahead and have a look."
The scouts opened the distance between each other, holding a knife in one hand and pulling the rein in the other, and slowly moved towards the darkness ahead.
The more they walked forward, the thicker the smell of blood in the air, which made their hearts rise to their throats, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
They walked forward for about a mile and found a village shrouded in darkness.
In the field outside the village, there are quite a few corpses, including Qinghe army cavalry in black uniforms, and people in motley clothes. There are also many scattered weapons on the ground. It is obvious that this place has experienced a lot. A fierce fight.
"You guys are on alert, follow me in and have a look."
The ten scouts will judge that the brothers led by their banner leader fought with the horse bandits here.
I just don't know why, but the bodies of their fallen brothers were not collected, but scattered in the wild, which is a bit abnormal.
After all, their Qinghe Army comrades have always never abandoned or given up. After every battle, they will collect and bury the remains of their fallen brothers.
Now the bodies of the brothers who died in battle are scattered outside this village, and no one restrains them, and they don't know what happened.
The ten scouts and a few scouts tiptoed into the village against the wall. They also found a lot of corpses in the village, including men, women and children. They should belong to the local people.
But apart from the countless corpses they found here, they didn't see a living person, which made them confused.
"Boss, judging from the horseshoe prints, the team should be heading east."
The scouts who stayed on the outside to guard also discovered something and reported it to the ten generals of the scouts.
"I think it should be the general who chased the horse bandits and headed east."
The ten generals also inspected the scene carefully and made their own judgments.
"Then what do we do now?" a scout soldier asked.
"Master Yuan gave us the task of finding the whereabouts of the general and the others. Let's go to the east." The ten generals replied after thinking for a while.
These scouts are not in the camp most of the time, but eat and sleep in the wild, and often only go back once in a few days, so they are used to it.
After they got on their horses, they immediately headed east under the cover of night.
However, apart from the occasional traces of small-scale battles along the way, they still did not find the whereabouts of their banner leader and others.
When dawn came, the sky in the distance was pale, and the exhausted scouts were a little bit depressed.
Just as the ten generals were about to order the scouts to rest and continue their search, suddenly the sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance.
The ten generals made a gesture, and they quickly dispersed and hid in the waist-deep grass next to them.
The horses of their scouts were also carefully selected. Under the orders of the scouts, the horses also lay down and hid in the grass.
Not long after, a black-clothed cavalryman covered in blood galloped from a distance, and behind him were more than a dozen strong men with fierce faces riding horses in pursuit.
??? is our brother! "
Seeing the pursued black-clothed cavalry with a feathered arrow stuck in his back, and his whole body lying on the horse's back, all the scout cavalry's faces turned serious.
"Kill the pursuers!"
When the ten scout generals were speaking, they quickly took off their hard bows, and the other two brothers who were carrying hard bows also took off their hard bows almost at the same time.
The other brothers who did not use hard bows drew out their sharp sabers and were ready to rush out.
These more than a dozen strong men with fierce faces kept kicking and beating the horse's belly, yelling and chasing, watching the distance between the two sides getting closer.
At this moment, the whistling sound of mace's arrows tearing through the air suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Three black mace arrows roared towards them, and before the three strong men could even react, the arrows were deeply embedded in their bodies, and blood spattered.
Under the strong force of the arrow, the three strong men screamed and rolled straight off the horses.
One person's foot was still stuck in the stirrup, and he was directly dragged by the horse and galloped forward.
Their attention was always on the fleeing Qinghe Army cavalry in front, and they didn't notice the surrounding situation at all.
Suddenly three people were shot and killed, and the expressions of the rest of the strong and strong men also changed, and they reined in their horses, wanting to see the enemy's situation clearly.
But before their horses could be pulled back, the scouts of the Qinghe army with sharp knives had already sprung out of the wild grass and rushed towards them.
The other three scouts drew out the Spike Arrow from the quiver again, preparing to shoot the second arrow.
Seeing that there were only a few Qinghe Army soldiers rushing out, these strong men also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned ruthless, and waved their knives to meet them.
But before the two sides fought, three arrows roared again, and two more strong men fell off their horses.
These Qinghe army scouts are all carefully selected elite veterans, and they swung their knives without fear.
They didn't have any frills, and they were urging their horses to charge dully. When the horses on both sides passed by each other, there was a clanging sound of gold and iron, and the dull sound of sharp knives piercing the skin.
All the attacks of these strong and strong men were dodged, while the scouts of the Qinghe Army shot fiercely and decisively, almost all of them were tricky and went straight to the opponent's vital points, killing them with one blow.
The two sides passed by each other, and several strong men were directly cut off from their horses, while the scouts were unscathed.
The few remaining strong men did not expect the strength of the other side to be so strong. After they looked at each other, they wanted to run away without hesitation.
But now that they met, it was not easy to leave. In just a moment, these people were all beheaded on the spot. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
