The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

One!

Two!

Three!

……

After that figure appeared, four more figures appeared in front of, behind, to the left and right of the four scouts, forming a circle that surrounded them.

They cut off all their escape routes.

Despite being surrounded, the four scouts remained calm; they simply drew the knives from their waists.

Although these men were all wearing standard armor of the imperial army, their encirclement and hostile gazes made it clear to everyone that they were there to take lives.

"A scout for the rebel army?"

One of them asked a question and took a step forward, while a scout behind him quietly reached for the large bow on his back.

rub!

Before his fingers could even touch the bow, a short arrow suddenly flew from the woods, severing one of his fingers.

My finger was severed, and blood was flowing freely.

But this person stubbornly frowned and remained silent.

The intention was to wound but not kill him, clearly to prevent him from using his bow and arrows.

He tore off a corner of his clothes and silently wrapped it around his finger.

There are archers in the woods.

The scouts sensed an impending crisis.

For Wu Laoliu, Li Tian's orders were more important than anything else.

Li Tian told him to kill these scouts by himself, and he went alone.

"what!"

Therefore, after the scout said those words, Wu Laoliu roared and drew his sword, slashing fiercely at the scout's head.

The scout ducked low and thrust his long knife at Wu Laoliu's ribs from a tricky angle.

With a muffled hiss, it was revealed that Wu Laoliu's armor was not plate armor, but ordinary chainmail, and his ribs were his weak spot.

A knife!

Just one cut!

Wu Laoliu suffered a minor injury and staggered back two steps. Fortunately, he was wearing a leather armor under his chainmail, so the injury was only superficial.

Wu Laoliu was stunned for a moment, but his ferocity was aroused again. He raised his broadsword and charged at the scout once more.

The scout slightly turned his body and then leaned against Wu Laoliu with a powerful shoulder strike.

With a bang, Wu Laoliu was once again thrown four or five meters away.

The scout shook his head helplessly. "Brother, you're not cut out to be a scout. You're only fit to be cannon fodder."

The scout walked step by step toward Wu Laoliu, and Zhao Erbao and the others were a little worried.

But none of them stepped forward to help.

They are waiting for a signal.

Li Tian's short arrow was the signal.

As soon as the short arrows fly, they can immediately tear this damned scout to pieces.

step.

Two steps.

The scout slowly walked towards Wu Laoliu.

Every step he took felt like stepping on the tip of his heart.

Wu Laoliu sat on the ground, panting heavily. Looking at the scout's gleaming knife, he suddenly remembered what Li Tian had once told him: on the battlefield, only the survivors are kings. No matter what method you use, as long as you can defeat your opponent, that's all that matters.

Wu Laoliu secretly hid his hands behind his back and grabbed a handful of mud and sand.

When the scout was two steps away from him, Wu Laoliu suddenly threw the mud and sand in his hand at the scout's face.

Sandstorms raged.

The scout couldn't help but take a step back, but Wu Laoliu seized the opportunity to leap up, his ring-pommel sword slashing fiercely towards the scout's abdomen.

Although the scout's eyes were blinded by the sandstorm, he was still alert and swung his long knife fiercely toward Wu Laoliu's neck.

Bang!

Wu Laoliu shifted his body slightly, and the longsword struck his armor, sending sparks flying.

Wu Laoliu's long knife also grazed the scout's abdomen, leaving a deep bloody gash.

Blood began to gush from the scout's abdomen. The scout raised his head and looked at Wu Laoliu with a complicated expression. Then, clutching his stomach, he slowly collapsed to the ground.

Wu Laoliu was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"I won, I won, I killed a scout."

Zhao Erbao and the others all wore relaxed smiles.

It seems that scouts are not as terrifying as legend has it.

"Who else?"

Wu Laoliu was unusually excited after killing a scout.

He stood still again, carrying the ring-pommel sword, and roared.

The enemy had three scouts left. They looked at each other, and the smallest scout stepped forward and whispered, "I'll give it a try."

The voice just fell.

The man suddenly charged towards Wu Laoliu.

The long knife in his hand transformed into a strange arc and suddenly slashed towards Wu Laoliu's neck.

There was no armor around his neck.

But Wu Laoliu was at least a head taller than him.

Wu Laoliu didn't dodge or flinch, but instead took a step forward.

He was gambling with his life; either the man would slice off his head, or the man would slash his own armor.

Fortunately, Wu Laoliu was lucky.

The knife left a spark on the armor under his chin, and that was the end of it.

But the ring-pommel sword in Wu Laoliu's hand was not so easy to deal with.

The instant the man drew his sword, Wu Laoliu also raised his own ring-pommel sword and slashed it down fiercely at the man's head.

With a hissing sound.

This man had half his head cleaved off by Wu Laoliu's knife, and he fell to the ground, his flesh mangled and bloody.

A cool breeze blew by, and Wu Laoliu's murderous mind cleared up slightly.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, he couldn't believe that this was his victory.

As a new recruit, he actually killed two imperial scouts with his own hands.

As for Zhao Erbao and the others standing on the side, they were also excited and eager to rush up and take Wu Laoliu's place.

They also wanted to know just how capable the imperial scouts were.

"Let's all come at him together."

There are two more scouts.

But they didn't run away.

Of course, they knew they couldn't escape either, because an archer was hiding in the woods, ready to take their lives at any moment.

The two men, each wielding a long sword, charged towards Wu Laoliu from the left and right.

Just then.

With a whoosh.

A short arrow flew out of the woods and landed on a large tree behind Wu Laoliu.

That was the signal to act together.

Wu Laoliu cheered and immediately raised his knife to meet the attack. Zhao Erbao and the others rushed forward like tigers seeing sheep.

Bang bang bang.

The sounds of clashing weapons were incessant.

But faced with a five-on-two situation, and the armor worn by Wu Laoliu and the others, the two scouts didn't even have a chance to fight back before being hacked to pieces by four or five different weapons.

The mountain wind blew across the small stream, carrying a stench of blood.

Wu Laoliu and the others walked silently toward the woods.

"Corporal, we won."

Wu Laoliu said excitedly, and looking at Zhao Erbao and the others behind him, they were all excited as well.

Li Tian smiled slightly, "Not bad, you all did a very good job. However, according to tradition, the imperial court usually sends out scouts in groups of eight, which means there are still four cavalrymen roaming the valley!"

"Our next task is to find those four cavalrymen and kill them."
