Chapter 746: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (18)

Zhang Xi's body was covered with thatch, and even his head was camouflaged with thatch. When he lay motionless on the ground, even if you walked closer, it was very difficult to find that there was a living person hidden under this pile of messy thatch.

Since the beginning of May, the war between Liaoxi and Langya has become more and more intense. When the commanders of both sides began to mobilize their troops, the scouts of both sides took the lead in taking action. The mountainous area located at the border between the two sides is a fatal place that the scouts must fight for. Whoever controls this mountainous area can conceal their own military secrets to the greatest extent and further spy on the actions of the other side. For Liaoxi County, this is the case. From Langya to Liaoxi, this section is mostly mountainous and hilly, and crossing this mountainous area to Langya is an endless and rich plain area.

The scouts of both sides have been strangled here. Pig. Pig. Island. novel w.hha.om It has been nearly a month. As far as Zhang Xi knows, his side has lost nearly a hundred excellent scouts. The other side is not a pushover. After Zhou Yutanfeng reached an agreement with Gao Yuan, he completely withdrew from Liaoxi County and retreated to Langya County. What was left in Langya was the famous general Hu Yanchao and the only remaining 10,000 Yan State regular troops at that time. This group of troops that had experienced the baptism of blood and fire had always been regarded as the number one enemy by Ye Zhong, the commander of the Southern Army Group of the Eastern Expedition Army.

More than a hundred lives were paid, of course. At least now the scouts of the Eastern Expedition Army have controlled most of the area and established dozens of supply points, which have completely blocked the passage for the other scouts to enter.

Of course, the other side will never give up. These days, batches of scouts from the other side have sneaked in here, trying to destroy the supply points here and drive the scouts of the Eastern Expedition Army out of this area again.

Zhang Xi has been lying in ambush here for a whole day. This morning, he found some cleverly concealed traces. Seeing those concealments, Zhang Xi knew that this was an old hand. Following these traces, he searched all the way here. Here, he finally found the other party's nest, which was a tree hole hidden in the dense grass. An ancient tree that had grown for many years had a large hole close to the ground that could accommodate a person. Due to the cover of thorns and thatch, it was extremely difficult to find without digging these things.

What made Zhang Xi was that in this cave, he found three nameplates, which were things that his scouts carried with them to indicate their identities. The nameplates appeared here, which naturally meant that they were dead, that is to say. This enemy has at least three lives on his hands.

This made Zhang Xi decide that he must kill this guy and avenge his brothers.

He carefully restored the traces of his entry one by one. Then he ambushed nearby. This ambush point was extremely hidden. Since the other party left some of his supplies here, he would definitely appear here again for supplies. Waiting for the rabbit. Sometimes it seems very primitive, but sometimes it is the best way.

The opponent can kill three of his brothers.

That skill must be extremely good. Instead of chasing his trail and killing him in the forest, it is better to wait here.

Waiting requires patience. Long and boring waiting can often get the greatest harvest. Zhang Xi is not lacking in patience. This is why he has been able to survive since entering this mountainous area. There are not many scouts who can survive in the first batch with him.

A day of ambush did not make Zhang Xi feel irritated. He would just gently stretch out and rub his thighs, which were already a little numb. He must keep the blood flowing so that he can launch a fatal attack at the most critical moment.

It was dark. Zhang Xi took out a small piece of mutton jerky from his arms and chewed it slowly in his mouth. Although the moon was high in the sky, in this dense forest, only some of it came through the dense shade of the trees, leaving round spots on the ground. The forest was extremely quiet, and the chirping of insects and ants could be heard clearly. Zhang Xi almost thought that today would be wasted. At this time, the other party had not returned, which meant that the other party must have more than one supply point. Today, he would definitely not come here.

He was ready to evacuate temporarily.

Just as he moved his body, a very subtle sound came from his ears, which made him quiet down instantly, with half-chewed mutton jerky in his mouth.

In the woods ahead, a faint shadow appeared. If the figure that flashed by had not happened to touch a branch and made a very slight sound, he would have almost ignored it.

Back. Zhang Xi did not have any ecstasy, but was extremely calm. For them, great joy and great sorrow were a kind of luxury, which would make them lose their calm judgment.

The other party was indeed an extremely experienced guy. Even if he returned to his old nest, he did not show up rashly. Instead, he hid in the tree for a long time. After confirming that everything was safe, he came out again. This person finally appeared in Zhang Xi's field of vision. He was a very burly guy, a head taller than Zhang Xi and nearly half as wide. Good guy, Zhang Xi couldn't help but shudder in his heart. If this was a close combat, he would definitely not be able to get away with it.

He seemed to be injured and limped when he walked. It seemed that he had just experienced a battle. He was able to come back alive, but I am afraid that the brother who fought with him was no longer there at this time.

Zhang Xi's hand slowly touched down and touched the crossbow on his waist. He pulled out the crossbow little by little and held the black dagger in his right hand.

The man walked towards the tree hole, but when he bent down, he turned around. A wisp of moonlight through the tree shone on his face at this moment, clearly showing his face in Zhang Xi's eyes. Zhang Xi Doubts could be seen in the other party's eyes.

not good! Zhang Xi knew in an instant that he had just breathed a little heavier because of the blood stains on his body. This alert guy immediately noticed that something was wrong. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and chirped. There were three consecutive chirping sounds, and all three consecutive crossbows were launched in just a short moment. When shooting the crossbow, his hand shook slightly. This caused the first crossbow to be fired directly at the man, but the other two shots were slightly off target. Of course, this was not because of his shooting skills. Not good, on the contrary, his three crossbows blocked the space for the opponent to dodge left and right. Zhang Xi did not expect to be able to kill him with one blow. He wanted to force the opponent into a tree hole. If he wanted to dodge these three crossbows, he had no other choice but to throw himself down and hide in a tree hole.

When the crossbow was fired, Zhang Xi pounced close to the ground. As he expected, the opponent was unable to avoid him. He dwarfed and rolled directly into the tree hole among the grass like a ball. After several sounds, three crossbow arrows were shot into the air at the same time, and they were nailed to the tree.

Zhang Xi grinned. There would be little ones waiting for him in the cave. When he exited the tree hole, he buried several caltrops there. The caltrops alone were nothing to be afraid of, but these little ones were The sharp spikes of the thing were stained with poison. It was not fatal, but it could make the opponent unconscious in a very short period of time. They had done experiments on cows, and they were as strong as cows, but they only suffered ten wounds. After a few such small thorns, he turned over and fell to the ground.

Zhang Xi didn't believe that the other party was stronger than an ox.

Sure enough, a muffled sound came from the cave. As scouts, in order to maintain agility and maneuverability, they are not armor-piercing. Once such gadgets are hit, no one will be injured. He picked up a stone weighing more than ten kilograms with one hand, which he had already aimed at before. With a muffled shout, the stone was thrown into the cave with the sound of wind.

The turtle among the turtles, everything is moving forward according to his own vision.

With a bang, the stone was blocked, and Zhang Xi's figure disappeared at this moment, and he hid himself again. Now, all he needs to do is wait.

After counting the breaths, a figure staggered out of the tree hole. Zhang Xi still didn't move. Looking at the figure of the other person, he knew that the toxin was starting to take effect. He counted silently in his heart. At the count of eight, the tall figure of the other party finally fell to the ground with a bang.

He continued to count to thirty, but the opponent still didn't move. Zhang Xi suddenly jumped out and stabbed the opponent's calf with the dagger in his hand. The feeling from his hand made him clearly know that the opponent had indeed entered a deep coma. Among them, the muscles of a person who is still awake and a person who is in a deep coma are completely different when being stabbed.

After confirming all this, he finally walked up to the man with confidence, turned him over, fumbled around in his arms, and unexpectedly took out another nameplate. The blood on it had not completely dried. Zhang Xi In a rage, he raised the knife and tried to pierce it. The knife reached the opponent's chest, but he took it back again. A living person is more valuable than a dead one.

He took out the rope from his body, tied the man up tightly, even blocked his mouth, and stuffed him into the tree hole again. A person who has been poisoned by this kind of poison will not be able to wake up without sleeping for a day and a night. . He decided to find a few teammates to move this big guy back. It was impossible for one person to transport him back. He didn't know if there were any accomplices of the other party hidden in the woods.

He emerged from the tree hole, carefully disguised himself, and took a long breath, feeling extremely tired. Just as he was about to take a good rest, he suddenly raised his head. On a hilltop in the distance, a fire suddenly burst out. Accompanying the fire was a sharp whistle. He was suddenly shocked. There was something there. A checkpoint established by the Eastern Expeditionary Army was always a supply point for them. The sound of this rocket could only mean one thing, that is, there was an attack there.

Without thinking, Zhang Xi ran towards there. (To be continued...)
