Chapter 143 Hunting and Being Hunted (Part 2)

The centurion hesitated a little. He had already found that he had fallen into prey. There were twenty-one of them, thirteen of them had been killed, and only eight were left. The opponent was not only superb in arrows, but also extremely sharp in throwing knives. More importantly, The other party is extremely calm and good at seizing opportunities.

If this continues, all of them will be killed by the other party, but if they just give up, the centurion will feel unwilling to do so.

A soldier next to him gritted his teeth and said: There are eight of us, don't you believe we can't defeat him alone?

This sentence immediately stimulated the centurion. Twenty people could not deal with a Tang army soldier. Where would he put his face when word spread?

Follow me! the centurion shouted through gritted teeth.

The eight Tongluo spies mounted their horses one after another and chased after him with both legs. After several hundred steps, the opponent had disappeared. The centurion raised his hand and his men reined in their horses.

The surroundings were very quiet. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, as if there was a sound of falling leaves. At this moment, the bowstring collapsed! ’ A sound.

Look out! shouted the centurion.

A soldier nearby screamed and shot an arrow through his head. Blood splattered everywhere. Everyone was shocked and fell on their horses.

Use your shield! shouted the centurion.

They all had round shields on their backs. The soldiers quickly took off their shields, and another soldier screamed, 'Plop! ’ After falling from his horse, his body was exposed when he took up the shield. Li Ye seized the opportunity and shot an arrow through his left chest.

There were only six people left, and the centurion shouted angrily: You bastard! You are so shy, come out and compete if you have the ability!

Li Ye's arrows were already aimed at him. There was a large black scar on the centurion's left face, which looked like Peking Opera facial makeup. The black and white were clear and highly identifiable. Li Ye had long discovered that he was the leader.

At this time, Li Ye heard his shout, which turned out to be very proficient in Chinese. Li Ye's arrow deflected and shot at another soldier. The arrow was like lightning and hit the horse's eye with a 'poof'.

The war horse screamed violently, raised its front hooves high, and knocked the soldier off his horse. Just as the soldier got up, another arrow was shot. The arrow hit his forehead, blood spattered, and the soldier fell on his back.

At this moment, Li Ye spurred his horse to gallop out, galloping eastward seventy paces away.

Catch him and cut him into pieces!

The centurion lost his mind, roared, and galloped, and his men behind him urged their horses to keep up.

Six people chased Mercedes in the dense forest, and five fellow Luo spies held up their shields to catch up. After running hundreds of steps, they were about to catch up.

The centurion suddenly widened his eyes and saw a horse running, but the man was not on the horse.

He screamed something bad in his heart, but it was too late. The soldiers around him screamed, and flying knives were shot from the left rear. Four soldiers were shot through the back of the neck and throat. Three died tragically on the spot, and the other The soldier fell to the ground and writhed in pain, and finally suffocated to death.

The centurion finally saw the other party. He was standing thirty steps away, with the edge of the forest behind him. He had his bow and arrows slung behind his back and held a sword in his hand. He waved to the centurion and waved the sword. The posture of decisive battle.

The centurion roared, swung his spear and rode up to kill him. After running for more than ten steps, he heard 'Boom! ’ With a sound, the centurion fell into a big pit with his men and horses. Immediately afterwards, a big net fell from the sky and covered the centurion head-on.

This pit was a horse trap dug by Tongluo soldiers to deal with Li Ye. It was covered with hay and fallen leaves so that it was completely invisible. A large net was placed above the head. As long as he fell into the pit, the big net would fall down.

Unexpectedly, the Tang Army scouts did not trick him, but ended up tricking him instead.

The centurion pulled out his dagger and tried to cut the rope of the net. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and was knocked unconscious.

Li Ye pulled out a Ming Dy and shot an arrow into the air. The Ming Dy made a sharp whistle in the air.

Not long after, Wang Yu hurried over with four soldiers. All they saw along the way were the corpses of Tongluo spies. They were either killed by arrows or by flying knives, which shocked them.

Team leader, have they all been killed?

Wang Yu looked at the team leader standing immediately in front of the pit, looking like a murderous god, and felt trembling in his heart.

Li Ye nodded, pointed at the centurion trapped in the horse pit with his long spear and said: Then below is their leader, who was knocked unconscious by me. He can speak fluent Chinese. You bring him up and torture him. I want to know. All the information about the Tongluo army, where is the army? How many people are there? How are the logistics and food supplies provided? Ask me carefully.

……….

Wang Yu led one of his men to interrogate the centurion, while Li Ye led three soldiers to collect the corpses and clean the battlefield.

His flying knives are very important and he must take them back one by one.

In addition, the enemy's horses, armor and weapons are all important resources, and they have to collect them.

Three soldiers piled twenty corpses together, collected branches to cover them, and prepared to burn them on fire.

Have all the corpses been taken care of? Li Ye came over and asked.

Reporting to the team, a total of twenty corpses have been collected.

Li Ye frowned, No, there should be twenty-one corpses, and a sentry in black. I shot him down from the tree. Didn't you notice?

The three of them shook their heads together, We have searched all over, and there are indeed only twenty corpses, and we haven't seen any sentries in black.

not good!

Li Ye realized something was wrong, turned around and ran into the forest. The sentry was not dead, but Wang Yu and the others were in danger.

At this moment, two screams came in succession, followed by the rapid sound of horse hooves. Li Ye ran over. The horse had already galloped far away and could not catch up, but he could see clearly that it was the centurion immediately. He is tall, his hands are tied behind his back, and he controls the horse with his legs, which is extremely skillful.

Li Ye was so filled with hatred that he had no choice but to turn around and run towards the interrogation place of Wang Yu and another soldier.

Wang Yu was seen kneeling on the ground to bandage the wound of another soldier. Next to them lay a corpse, dressed in black, which was the sentry who was injured but not dead.

What's going on? Li Ye stepped forward quickly.

Wang Yu pointed at the sentry in black and said bitterly: This bastard suddenly rushed over on horseback, knocked Duan Xiaoliu over, jumped off the horse and knocked me down. After I killed him, the centurion had already run away on horseback. .”

How's Xiaoliu?

Wang Yu shook his head, The injury is too serious and must be sent to the hospital immediately!

Anle County is ahead, let's go to the county to seek medical treatment!

Twenty-five thousand Shuofang troops led by Pugu Huai'en entered Yuanzhou from Liupanguan, and then joined 30,000 imperial troops in Pinggao County, bringing Yuanzhou's military strength to 55,000, plus Guo Ziyi's 10,000 troops. The total strength of the army has reached 65,000, twice that of the Tongluo Army.

But the Tongluo army did not know that the 25,000 Shuofang troops had been returned to the north, and they were also preparing to annihilate the imperial court's 30,000 troops.

In the main camp of Pinggao County, Pugu Huaien hurriedly came to the commander's tent. After waiting for a moment, he followed Wang Kuan and came out and said: The Prime Minister is waiting for the general. General, please come in!

In the big tent, Li Linfu was discussing military affairs with Li Chu, King of Guangping. Li Chu was currently only the deputy marshal. The real marshal of the three armies was Li Linfu, the envoy to the army and the governor of Shuofang. Of course, according to the allocation of Li Longji by the emperor, Li Linfu only had military power. As far as Yuanzhou, the military power north of Yuanzhou will be transferred to Li Chu, King of Guangping.

Pugu Huaien walked into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and saluted, For this humble position, please see the Prime Minister, and see His Royal Highness King Guangping!

Although Li Chu was the eldest grandson of the emperor, he was far from comparable to Li Linfu in terms of power and seniority. In the minds of the generals, Li Linfu was naturally in front and Li Chu was behind.

Li Linfu smiled and said: General Pugu, you have worked hard all the way. Please sit down!

Pugu Huaien sat down aside, and Li Linfu said again: The prime minister and His Highness King Guangping just discussed that we all hope to go north tomorrow to prevent the Tongluo army from escaping. I wonder if the Shuofang army can support it?

Pugu Huaien quickly stood up and saluted, The military order is like a mountain, of course the Shuofang army will go all out!

good!

Li Linfu nodded, From now on, the Prime Minister has handed over the military power to His Royal Highness King Guangping. It is up to His Highness to decide!

Li Chu said slowly: Please tell General Pugu to pass on my military order. Tomorrow morning, we will get up at the fifth watch and set off at the fifth watch!

Pugu Huaien knelt down on one knee and saluted, I humbly obey my order!
