"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 356
Under the cloudy sky, a group of Qinghe army scouts riding slowly along the forest path.
The forest path full of weeds is slightly barren, with dark brown black iron trees on both sides. The lush canopy blocks out the sky and makes the forest look drowsy.
Qinghe army scout Qingqi stared vigilantly at the surrounding vines wrapped with ancient trees, with one hand on the handle of the knife, as if he was facing an enemy.
The Department of Intelligence and Investigation received news from local villagers that a group of soldiers and horses appeared near this forest.
The main force of the Qinghe Army is now stationed in the capital of Luyang Province, only a hundred miles away from this forest.
After learning that soldiers and horses with unknown banners appeared in this area, the Second Army Command immediately sent scout Qingqi to investigate.
It's just that the scouts of the Qinghe Army didn't find anything in the outskirts of the forest, so they could only venture deep into the depths of the forest to try to figure out the situation.
The scouts searched carefully along the path in the forest. There were ancient wolf vines everywhere in the forest, and their sight was greatly hindered.
Except for the occasional chirping of birds from above the canopy, the forest filled with damp mist is eerily quiet and seems to be in danger.
"careful!"
When Qinghe Army's scout Qingqi was carefully searching along the forest path, suddenly a veteran quickly drew out his sword and slashed forward.
"Puff!"
A scout Qingqi just felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, and then felt something hit him.
"ah!"
When he saw clearly that the thing that landed on him turned out to be a big snake that had been cut in two, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't be surprised, it's just a python."
Seeing the light cavalry who was still in shock, the veteran glanced around and put his saber back into the scabbard.
The veteran leaned over and picked up the big snake that had been cut in two from the ground, and hung it beside his saddle.
This big snake as thick as a human calf was hiding in a tree beside the path. It wanted to attack the scout Qingqi, but it was killed.
"I can cook a pot of snake soup when I go back." The veteran smiled.
"I don't eat this stuff."
The frightened scout Qingqi had a natural fear of crawling snakes, so he hurriedly waved his hands.
"This is a good thing. I can't eat it if I want to eat it on weekdays." Another scout Qingqi laughed in a low voice.
When the scout Qingqi was about to continue speaking, the veteran just now made a gesture suddenly, and everyone immediately shut their mouths and looked around vigilantly.
In the silent forest, there was a cracking sound of dead branches being stepped on. Hearing this sound, the Qinghe army scout light cavalry subconsciously pulled out the sabers from their waists.
They had just drawn out their sabers, and more than two hundred steps ahead of them, a figure came out from behind a towering tree.
Seeing these people blocking their way like ghosts, the scouts of the Qinghe Army became short of breath and took a defensive posture.
These people in red battle robes and ferocious wolf-headed masks couldn't see their faces clearly, they just appeared so abruptly, staring at the team of scouts and light cavalry quietly.
"Pretending to be a ghost!"
Although I don't know the identities of these people, seeing them wearing wolf-head masks, some veterans couldn't help but spit to ease the tension in their hearts.
"Go back along the same road!"
The scout officer leading the team couldn't figure out the details of the other party, and it was in this forest with complex terrain. After thinking for a few seconds, he gestured and prepared to lead people to retreat.
"There are people behind us!"
But before they could turn the horse's head, a brother pointed to the back and couldn't help swallowing.
"There are people in the woods!"
Soon, they found that in the forest on both sides, there were also many people in red clothes with knives appearing in the shadows.
Seeing these red-clothed soldiers who appeared quietly, the scout Qingqi of the Qinghe army all turned ugly, and turned their eyes to their leading officer.
These scouts ride lightly to and fro in the wilderness like the wind. It can be said that nothing can?? escaped their eyes.
Who knew that the first time he entered the forest to search for the enemy, he had someone make dumplings without realizing it.
"The first team breaks through, and the second team breaks through!"
Although caught in a tight siege, the scout officer leading the team was also a veteran who crawled out of the dead, and he was calm in the face of danger, and gave an order in a deep voice.
After receiving the order, the scouts and light cavalry did not hesitate at all. The first team blocked the road with horizontal swords, and the second team quickly turned around and rushed towards the enemy behind them.
Seeing this group of scout Qingqi from the Qinghe Army wanting to break through, an officer in a red shirt flashed a look of ferocity on his face.
"Keep one alive, kill the rest¡ª"
Following the order of the red-clothed officer, the red-clothed soldiers wearing wolf-head masks rushed forward with knives in their hands without saying a word.
These red-clothed soldiers moved neatly, and they looked like well-trained soldiers.
"kill!"
The red-clothed soldiers who were in charge of the ten Qinghe army scouts rushed forward, and instead of retreating, they rode their horses along the forest path to meet them.
"Boom!"
On the narrow path, the war horse collided fiercely with those ferocious red-clothed soldiers.
Before the sharp swords of the soldiers in red slashed at the horses, the horses slammed them hard and sent them flying back.
The bodies of several red-clothed soldiers who were knocked into the air rolled in the air, and when they landed, their bones were broken, and screams rang out.
"Puff!"
"ah!"
? At the other end, there was also the muffled sound of swords piercing into flesh and screams, and the Qinghe army scout Qingqi who had broken through the siege also strangled to death with the intercepted red-clothed soldiers.
The scout Qingqi of the Qinghe Army are all carefully selected brothers. They are fierce in combat, and although they are surrounded by heavy siege, they are not afraid at all.
Although those red-clothed soldiers were well-trained, they didn't have the ruthlessness of the Qinghe Army's Qingqi, and they suffered a dark loss when they fought.
However, these red-clothed soldiers were not vegetarians either. After all, they couldn't use their war horses on the forest path.
A soldier in red suddenly jumped from a big tree and threw the Qinghe Army Qingqi on horseback off the horse.
Caught off guard, Qinghe army scout Qingqi fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart.
"Clang!"
The sharp blade slashed down, but was blocked by the Qinghe Army scout Qingqi swinging his sword.
"Pfft!"
But before he could take back his saber, a sharp spear suddenly appeared from the oblique stab like a poisonous snake, and pierced fiercely into the heart of this Qinghe army scout.
Enduring the severe pain, the scout cut off the wooden pole of the spear with one blow, and killed a red-clothed cavalryman who was trying to come up to take advantage of it with a backhand.
He was panting violently, and when he was struggling to stand up, he was stabbed heavily on the shoulder again, and the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made him let out a scream. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
