Chapter 743: The Battle of the Scouts
The two armies that were determined to fight were approaching each other carefully. . The fastest update
Both sides have huge cavalry, and no one wants to be attacked by his opponent before the decisive battle and be hit hard. The characteristics of the cavalry determine that they come and go like the wind and are difficult to capture their whereabouts. If they are given any chance, the losses will be unbearable.
Everyone wants to seize the exact position of the other party, which makes small-scale battles happen in various places before the war, and the protagonists of both sides are elite scouts.
The scouts are all elites in the army. In the past few days, the losses of their scouts made the commanders of both sides cry, but they had to send them out again and again to carry out life-and-death tasks.
The names of Zhang Long and Zhang Hu are only one word different, but they are not brothers. They come from the same village and enlist in the army, participate in training together, and join the scouts team together.
This is their third time.
The two lay in the half-deep grass, looking up at the stars in the sky. The weather finally cleared, but the bright stars, water and moonlight did not make them happy, because such conditions mean that they were more likely to be exposed.
"Hu Zi, including the two heads this time, I have cut six heads, and five of them will turn into a turn. This time I go back, I will be the whistle leader, hahaha, you will be my soldier by then." Zhang Long bit a straw pole in his mouth and said proudly.
"Don't dream, I cut four, only one left, look at it, when I go back this time, I will definitely get the fifth head. No matter what we do, we have never decided the winner and the same is true this time. If you are the whistle leader, of course I will not fall behind." Zhang Hu said hummingly.
Zhang Long burst into laughter, "This is a bit difficult. I think this time is the last time we attacked alone. The distance between the two sides is quite close. There is no need to hide it anymore. You can see that the enemy scouts we meet are getting stronger and stronger. It is too difficult to chop off a head."
"Anyway, I won't go back if I don't cut five." Zhang Hu said angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to drag me back so that you can become the sentry chief. After the war is over, when you return to the village, you become an officer, and I am just a soldier, Qiao Niang will definitely follow you."
"Qiao Niang's father said, whoever has a future will be with him. It's no wonder I am." Zhang Long laughed, "Lost one step, lose every step, Hu Zi, accept your fate! Look at this move, we must not be able to meet the enemy today. Seeing that the sky is still going on, half an hour is still the time for us to return. You are not trying to violate the military order."
Zhang Hu's face turned black, grabbed a handful of grass in his hand and twisted it hard, ignoring Zhang Long.
The two are both fellow villagers and as close as brothers. They also like the same woman and are hostile competitors, so their relationship is quite complicated.
Zhang Long smiled, reached out his hand, and gently stroked the big dog lying quietly beside him. This was a hunting dog, who had been with him for many years. In the military camp, dogs were not allowed to be raised, but this dog was licensed, and it was even on the military list, holding a salary.
Zhang Long and Zhang Hu are in a group, and can cut off so many of the heads of each other's scouts, which is inseparable from it.
Feeling the owner's caress, the big dog raised his head, squinted his eyes, stretched out his long bloody tongue, and licked his head and Zhang Long's hand.
"Shitou, after winning this battle, I will find you a mistress, Luo." Zhang Long said with a smile. Zhang Hu was even more depressed. He raised his hand and threw the broken grass in his hand on the big dog named Shitou. Shitou stood up, shook his hair, shook all the weeds, and stretched his head to lick Zhang Hu again.
Zhang Hu sighed, took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket, stuffed it into the stone's mouth, then turned around, put his hand under his head, and thought about his thoughts in a depressed manner.
The stone chewed the jerky comfortably, so it naturally couldn't pay attention to the lips and tongue sticks between the two owners. Instead, it enjoyed the care of the two owners.
The big mouth chewing dried meat suddenly stopped. Shi Tou raised his head, his hair suddenly stood up, and a whimpering sound came from his throat. Zhang Long was startled, turned over and sat up, reaching out and holding the handle of the ring-hand knife.
"Huzi!" he whispered.
Zhang Hu had already held the knife in his hand and squatted up halfway.
There was nothing under the moonlight, but the next moment, the sound of hooves suddenly rang out, and six horses were wrapped in three directions, and the two of them suddenly changed their faces.
"They seem to know our location." Zhang Long said in disbelief. "How did they find us?"
Zhang Hu swallowed his saliva. Indeed, judging from the other party's actions, it was obvious that he wanted to surround them. Of course, he had discovered their place long ago.
He let out a long sigh. It was not a question of whether he could confirm the fifth head today, but whether he could go home alive. He turned over and lay on the ground, tidying up his equipment, swords, crossbows, and a horse spear.
"Zhang Long, look at the sky, the big bird!" Zhang Hu suddenly widened his eyes, and a huge black shadow was hovering over their heads.
"We raise a dog, and the other party has a big eagle." Zhang Long murmured: "It's a problem. Huzi, the old rules, you lure the targets, I'll attack them. As long as we can kill one or two of them, we will have a chance."
"Run, I'll attack and kill. I'm still missing a head!" Zhang Hu shook his head and said.
"Bastard, can you have a good understanding of Shitou? At this time, I'm still thinking about how to survive, right? After surviving, we can all be the whistle commander and continue to compete. If we can't survive, everything will be useless. If we can only live one, then things will be even simpler. Get out of here, hurry up, start, take both horses away."
Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and climbed up. From the depths of the grass below, two horses were kneeling quietly on the ground. He shouted softly, and the two horses immediately stood up. Without saying a word, he turned over a horse, held the other horse in one hand, and slapped the horse's thigh with a backhand and a palm, running wildly towards the far and convenient.
Above his head, the huge black shadow chuckled loudly and followed him tightly. Zhang Hu cursed angrily, reached out to take off the crossbow arrow, glanced at the sky, but gave up helplessly. That thing is so sensual that it is hard to figure out the route, and he doesn't want to waste a crossbow arrow.
Zhang Long lay in the grass and drew out the crossbow arrow. One crossbow arrow could kill one. The rest depends on luck. None of the scouts who can survive to this time are weak, and it is difficult to deal with one on one, let alone six of them at once.
The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid. He could clearly hear the other party's excited roar. Qin Yu was a little awkward, but Zhang Long still heard the other party's meaning roughly, which was similar to their thoughts. He also wanted to chop a few more heads back and get promoted!
Zhang Long smiled grimly, poked half of his body out of the grass, and aimed at one of the two quickly approaching figures.
With a light sound, the crossbow arrow shot out like lightning, accompanied by a scream, the loud sound of falling horses was particularly clear in the quiet night. With one arrow, Zhang Long threw away the crossbow in his hand without hesitation, bent down and picked up the horse spear at his feet, and rushed towards another.
The Qin scouts never expected that there was an enemy ambushing here. The eagle in the sky could find the target, but could not find how many people were. Just now, Zhang Hu escaped with two horses, which made them relax their vigilance. Six-on-one, they won.
The spiritual relaxation made Zhang Long succeed in one blow.
Under the moonlight, another Qin scout suddenly stopped the war horse, turned half a circle, and rushed towards Zhang Long again, lowered his body, and the iron spear flashed with a faint cold light in his hand.
Zhang Long had no intention of giving in to the cavalry with steps. He held up his horse spear and actually charged against his opponent. In his eyes, this was naturally an inexplicable way to kill him.
Shitou, Zhang Long also has a killer weapon. He believes that Shitou, who has been with him for many years, knows when to launch an attack.
The stone did not disappoint his expectations. A black shadow pounced out of the grass like lightning. His mouth opened and his fangs exposed. He bit his horse's thighs with an extremely accurate bite. After biting it, he never let go.
The horse galloped in the mercedes neighed with a sad voice, and the man stood up. The charging knight was caught off guard and fell off the horse immediately. Zhang Long, who was charging, seemed to have already done all this. The horse spear was stabbed out, and the sharp spear blade immediately killed the other party's life.
The battle started in an instant and ended in an instant. When the other four Qin scouts heard the screams here, they all looked back in shock and found that their two companions had lost their lives in an instant.
The four of them immediately turned around and rushed towards Zhang Long.
They were all scouts, and they had extraordinary speed in judging the enemy situation. They immediately understood that the other party was two people. The one who fled in front was to lure the enemy, and the one behind was to kill the enemy. The one in front might not be able to catch up, but the one behind could never be let go. The four of them killed each other and came back.
Zhang Hu turned his horse's head around, howled, and ran back with his horse's spear. Zhang Long killed two of them, and now they are two to four, so they don't have a chance.
Zhang Long held the spear and stood with his legs. He looked at Zhang Hu running back under the moonlit night and laughed. He knew that this brother would not leave him behind, just like before, the two of them would fight side by side again.
Shi Tou bit a horse's reins and led a horse to Zhang Long. It was the first scout to be killed by Zhang Long's crossbow arrow. The man died, but the horse did not leave.
Zhang Long turned over the horse, shook the reins of the horse, and shouted loudly: "Stone, let's get on."
