Chapter 72 The Duel of the Scout
Lin Luo carefully climbed to a house that had been burned down by the slave soldiers. In the night, he looked at the Jiannu camp in the direction of Tongzhou City. From time to time, he put a single thousand-mile eye in front of his right eye and watched the situation of the slave camp.
In the camp of the slave army, after the evening, many bonfires and bright pines were lit in the camp and around the camp, so as to prevent the enemy from sneaking up their camp at night. If there is really an enemy sneak attack, under the illumination of so many lights and torches, the enemy will enter them. Within 200 steps around the camp, you can be found in advance by the slave soldiers of the sentry, coupled with the secret whistles placed outside the camp, so even in ancient times, if you want to launch a successful night attack, it is similar to gambling, and the probability of success is very small.
However, Jiannu made the lights around the camp so bright, but it just exposed them to the light, so that Lin Luo, who was staring at them from afar, saw their camp through thousands of miles of eyes.
While Lin Luo lay on the broken house and observed the Jiannu camp, he kept whispering to his subordinates what he saw. One of the descendants held a charcoal strip and wrote a picture in a book, recorded what Lin Luo said, and drew a sketch to arrange the Jiannu army. The situation is outlined so that it can be seen at a glance.
Although Lin Luo is very young, he is also a veteran of the battlefield. At the earliest time, he was a soldier under Li Zicheng, but later he was rescued by Xiao Tianjian. After that, he followed Xiao Tianjian with all his heart. Lin Luo was born in a hunter's family and practiced good archery when he was very young, and He was good at using two hunting forks, and his kung fu was also good. After following Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian soon found that this boy was clever, skillful and bold, and a good scout, so he sent him to Shi Ran for call. Over the years, he has become an old scout. Now Shi Ran has been promoted to a town. Long, he became the scout leader of Xiao Tianjian.
This time, Xiao Tianjian led the troops from Tianjin to help Tongzhou. Lin Luo served as an outpost without instructions. He led his troops to open the alert curtain. On this day, he cleaned up a lot of Jiannu and serfs along the way. Now he actually took some of his men. He simply touched the city of Tongzhou at night and went straight to the outside of Tongzhou in person. The situation of the army of slaves.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Luo lowered his head and smiled at the subordinates below and said, "Jian Nu must not have expected our arrival. The camp was not neat. He still adopted the situation of besieging the city and divided their camp outside the North Gate and the West Gate. It seems that we have killed a lot of hand whistlers today, and also made The ears and eyes of the tazi are blind! Let them not find that our army is rushing towards this side at all! Hey hey!
Okay! It's almost done. Let's clean up the guys and withdraw! ...Slow down! Oh! There is a movement in the Tari camp! A lot of Tsars came out! Let's take a look!"
While talking, Lin Luo was waiting, but suddenly stopped again. He quickly raised his eyes and looked at the Tazi camp and said to his own people below.
The subordinates below were about to clean up the guy and evacuate here. After hearing his words, they were immediately alerted. Someone went to appease their war horses and let their war horses not hiss at this time to expose their whereabouts. Some people prepared a short crossbow, put on the crossbow, and made a move. Hand preparation.
Lin Luo suddenly slipped out, slipped down the broken wall, and whispered with a wave of his hand, "Let's go! It's not good to stay here for a long time! The Tahri must have found that their sentry riders were missing a lot. At this time, they have noticed something wrong. A lot of sent outposts and are galloping in all sides. Let's go back and inform the Holy Son. It seems that it is impossible not to let the Tahs find out the whereabouts of our army tonight!"
After listening to his hands, he immediately packed up his things and took the horses to Lin Luo. Several people turned over their horses, shook the reins slightly, and immediately turned around and disappeared into the darkness. At this time, there happened to be several Jiannu sentries. They rode past them by, and a Tatar white armored soldier suddenly took it. He stopped the reins, raised his hand and stopped several of his colleagues. After listening, he suddenly pointed forward and said, "There is someone in front of you! Catch up and have a look!"
The reason why horses can stand out among many animals and become the most loyal mounts of human beings is that they have too many advantages. They not only have a keen sense of smell, but also have a good sense of hearing. Their vision is far more than that of humans at night, so the night horse has a certain tracking ability.
So these slave soldiers immediately followed the white armor soldier and accelerated. In the night, through the dim moonlight in the sky, they chased Lin Luo and others in the direction of leaving.
After Lin Luo led several of his men to walk for a while, suddenly an old scout shouted softly, "Lin Dutong! We bit a few paw dogs behind us! They are keeping an eye on us!"
After hearing this, Lin Luo immediately listened to the faint sound of horses' hoofs behind him, so he immediately nodded and said, "Dud, I'm really stared by the dog!" Regardless of them, we have to rush back to the army to report the news now! Let them follow up! After Zhangjiawan, send a signal for our people to clean them up! Let's go quickly!"
So the group immediately headed towards the southeast.
And the Taran whistlers behind them also quickly began to accelerate and chased them. At this time, those Tas had determined that the people running in front were definitely not theirs. Since they were not theirs, they must be the enemy, and now they are coming out to find the enemy. Ji, once they catch up with these enemies, they will definitely get the information they want under severe torture. You should know that once they get important information, once they get important information, there will be a heavy reward for going back, so these turtan soldiers are chasing them in full swing, one by one, constantly rushing to try. Catch up with Lin Luo and others as soon as possible.
Lin Luo and others have suffered a lot of losses at this time. After all, they came all day and rushed here from the direction of Tianjin Wei. On this day, they walked more than a hundred miles, and they also kept cleaning up the Taran whistles they encountered on the road. The war horses were tired at night, and the Tas had just come out and sat down. The horse's physical fitness was at its peak. Under the same time, these dartings soon gradually caught up with Lin Luo and others.
Listening to the sound of horses' hoofs and horses behind them, they were getting closer and closer. The two Lin Luo's men pulled the reins and stopped and said to their brothers, "Protect Lin Dutong and go quickly! Let's hold back these Jiannu!"
Lin Luo was not pretentious. He knew his own importance at this time, so he pulled the rein and saluted the two men who left behind. He didn't say anything. He just nodded heavily to them when he put down his hand, and pulled the horse again to urge the war horse to take the rest. Several men continued to drive towards the southeast.
The two scouts looked at each other in the night and nodded to each other. In the eyes of the two people, there was a resolute look in the night. The scout is an absolutely high-risk service among the various services, so the scout is also the most daring person in the army. And they are required to have some work at hand, so each of these scouts has the wisdom to die at any time. At this time, some people have to make sacrifices to keep more people safe, so these two scouts choose to stay and delay these pursuers without hesitation.
Both of them adjusted their weapons on the saddle. Everyone had a lot of fragmentary weapons on their saddle. After they cleaned up, they disembed and took the horse to the roadside, loosened the reins, took off the bow on the saddle, and inserted several arrows into the empty earth beside the roadside.
In addition, the two of them also had a handful of broken hair and short gunshots on their waists. At this time, they also pulled out the cork, pulled out the cork of the cork, pounded it with a few times, smashed the ammunition filled in it, put the long gun in the position of the hand, and checked the waist knife.
Before long, the sound of the horse's hoofs got closer and closer to them. Both of them first stood and put an arrow on the bow string, slowly began to pull the bow string, and kept the bow string close to the nose, aiming at the dark place.
Hearing the sound of two bowstrings, the two quickly sank into the darkness like a ghost. Before long, they heard a Jiannu scream. Someone fell off the war horse, and then the Jiannu who caught up with him exclaimed. Obviously, one of the two arrows shot a bad luck. The tattered soldiers, so the frightened t scepters immediately knew that there was an ambush in front of them, so they quickly began to disperse on both sides, but at the same time, they continued to fly towards the position of the two large and medium-sized army scouts.
The two scouts shouted angrily, and immediately drew arrows on the ground, stringed, bowed and arrows. The action can be said to be done in one go. Everyone fired two arrows in a row. However, this time, Jiannu was on guard, and in addition, it could not be accurate in the night. Only one arrow hit a Jiannu's war horse, and the painful Jiannu's war horse. There was a burst of sadness, but under the appeasement of the Tari soldiers, they did not fall, but slowed down.
At that time, such a distance, that is, in an instant, the Tatar soldiers rushed to the front of the two scouts. At this time, it was no longer possible for the two scouts to release arrows, so they raised their arms and threw out the bow in their hands. Lightning pulled out their short hair around their waists, and immediately aimed at them. The two hand soldiers who rushed hugged the fire, and two flashes flashed in the darkness, and at the same time there were two roars.
The two Tari soldiers who rushed to the front were miserable. They screamed almost at the same time, then hit the war horse, fell heavily under the horse, and rolled up on the ground with pain.
The short gun of the scout is different from the long gun. The bullet loaded inside is not a projectile, but a loaded bullet. A projectile is pressed on the shotgun to prevent the shot from leaking out of the shot. Although the long-range shooting is not powerful enough, it is fired at close range. One hit is one piece, two unlucky trots. The soldier was hit head-on by the two regiments. When one guy was beaten all over his face, his eyes were blinded, and he couldn't survive. The other one was shot in the chest, broke his armor with a solid shot, and deeply penetrated into his ribs. A rib was smashed fracture on the spot, and it was also hit. War Horse, with the medical level of the Ta's in this era, the possibility of living is basically zero.
The two scouts suddenly opened fire, which shocked Jiannu, but these slaves are very experienced. Although they don't understand why the two enemies can open fire without a fire rope, they know that it is impossible for the thing to continue to fire, so it is a wise choice to rush up immediately. So several Jiannu and tazis continued to urge the horses one after another and rushed to the two scouts.
One of the two scouts is Zhang Daben and the other is Jiang Laoshi. The two shouted loudly: "Brother! That's enough! Killing more is earning! Kill it!"
(Today, I would like to thank the two brothers of Baiyun Guogao and hong360 for their rewards!)
