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

"How do I find it?"

This is a question raised by Wu Laoliu.

He just killed two scouts.

I'm addicted to it now.

Li Tian smiled.

He liked these fierce and ruthless soldiers; Li Tian didn't need weak soldiers under his command.

"See that horse?" Li Tian pointed to a warhorse that hadn't run far by the mountain stream. "Later, you can ride that warhorse around. When the enemy scouts can't find their own people, they'll naturally come looking for you."

fishing!

Zhao Erbao and the others all thought of this phrase without prior agreement, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"If Wu Laoliu is in charge of luring and capturing the enemy, what are the rest of us supposed to do?"

Zhao Erbao then asked.

"It's simple. We'll spread out around Wu Laoliu, and when the enemy appears, we'll each take on one target and quickly eliminate them."

As Li Tian spoke, he made a motion as if casting a net.

The soldiers under his command smiled knowingly, and several of them quickly left the place, leaving behind only corpses scattered all over the ground.

........

Half an hour after Li Tian and the others withdrew.

Four warhorses slowly appeared on one side of the woods.

Four scouts appeared immediately. The leader wore a breastplate, the other two wore leather armor, and the last one was completely covered in iron armor with a bronze mask on his face, making him look quite mysterious.

The combination of these four people looks somewhat incongruous.

One of the cavalrymen first rode his horse around to scout the area. When he reached the ravine, he found that his four companions had all been killed. He muttered something under his breath and immediately turned his horse back into the forest.

"Sergeant, Li Mi and the others have been killed. It was probably done by enemy scouts!" the soldier in charge of reconnaissance whispered.

"The enemy?" The man wearing breastplate looked around, his brow furrowing slightly. "Nankai City is over seventy li away from here. What are their scouts doing here? Could they be here to plunder and gain military merit?"

Then, the man said,

"Hurle, protect the young lady. Chen Jiu, come with me. We need to find those scouts. Our men can't have died in vain."

The four horses split into two groups, one in front and one behind, and galloped off towards the path in the mountain stream.

And at this moment,

Wu Laoliu was leisurely riding his warhorse, wandering aimlessly through the mountains.

Zhao Erbao and his group were scattered in the woods near Wu Laoliu, less than ten meters away from him in a straight line.

Li Tian stood on a sloping hill, his eyes half-closed, watching his surroundings closely.

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of galloping hooves came rushing towards us!

Li Tian suddenly opened his eyes, raised his crossbow, and fired an arrow towards Wu Laoliu's warhorse.

Whoosh!

The short arrow struck the front hoof of Wu Laoliu's warhorse.

Zhao Erbao and the others in the forest could see it all clearly.

This is a signal that the enemy is approaching, telling them to prepare to take action.

Zhao Erbao and Zhao Yong quickly ran down the hillside and set up two tripwires in front of and behind Wu Laoliu.

Wu Tian and Sun Sanqiang lay in ambush in the woods on both sides, waiting for their chance to strike.

Not long after Li Tian and his soldiers finished setting up the trap, dust suddenly billowed up on the path south of Wu Laoliu, revealing four warhorses.

"There's only one person! Is he alone? Or is there an ambush?"

Zhao Qian, the scout leader at the forefront, saw only a lone warhorse slowly walking ahead and instinctively thought it was a trap.

"Whoa~"

Zhao Qian gently pulled on his warhorse, and the three warhorses behind him also stopped in unison.

Zhao Qian didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he tilted his head and observed the terrain for a while, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"Chen Jiu, let's go kill that lone scout."

"Hurle, you stay here and watch over the young lady. If anything seems amiss, take her and run away immediately."

After saying that, Zhao Qian kicked the horse's belly and charged towards Wu Laoliu like a gust of wind, with Chen Jiu following closely behind.

boom!

Just as it was about to reach Wu Laoliu, a tripwire suddenly rose from the ground. The warhorse was running too fast, and its hooves got tangled in the rope, causing it to fall forward.

Immediately afterwards, two dark figures suddenly jumped out of the woods and began to slash with their knives.

Zhao Qian was so angry that he cursed under his breath. He never expected that after being a scout for more than ten years, he would fall into such a small trap today.

Zhao Qian's weapon was a long spear. Upon seeing this, he quickly raised his spear to parry.

Bang!

Sun Sanqiang and Wu Tian, ​​who came to attack, were actually forced to take two steps back by the shock.

Zhao Qian had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up when he saw the armored cavalry charging towards him.

Before he could react, a long knife suddenly slashed towards his neck.

With a whoosh, Zhao Qian's head flew straight into the air.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Behind him, Chen Jiu hadn't reacted yet.

Two more burly men in armor suddenly jumped out of the woods; they were Zhao Erbao and Zhao Yong.

One of the two men was holding a large iron rod, and the other was holding a ring-pommel sword.

This effectively blocked Chen Jiu's escape route.

"drive!"

Upon seeing four people lying in ambush, Chen Jiu ignored them and spurred his warhorse to charge backward.

He attempted to use the momentum of the warhorse to knock Zhao Erbao and Zhao Yong away.

Zhao Erbao reacted quickly and rolled to the side of the road. Zhao Yong, however, was fierce and brave. He simply took a step back to the left to clear the way, but then lowered his body and swung his iron rod fiercely at the horse's leg.

With a loud crash, the warhorse's legs buckled to the ground, and Chen Jiu was thrown off the horse.

Chen Jiu hadn't reacted yet.

A large iron rod suddenly fell on his head.

With a loud bang.

Chen Jiu's skull immediately shattered.

.......

On the other side, Hurle held tightly to the reins of the scout's horse, who was fully encased in armor.

Upon seeing that Chen Jiu and Zhao Qian were both dead, he immediately pulled hard, forcibly turning the warhorse around, then stabbed the horse's rump hard with his spur and shouted.

"Miss, run! Run back to the military camp!"

"I'll distract them!"

With that, Hurle slapped his horse's rump, and one horse headed south while the other headed north, creating a feint.

But to his surprise, Li Tian was waiting in the direction his young lady had fled.

He himself happened to be within the range of Li Tian's crossbow.

Hurle spurred his horse and galloped away.

Suddenly, a short arrow flew from behind and struck his horse squarely in the front leg.

Bang!

Hurle was thrown off his warhorse.

Before he could react, a ring-pommel sword came crashing down on his head.

Hurle quickly raised his long sword to defend himself.

But he forgot that there were five people on the other side, and in the instant he blocked the long sword, four different weapons had already struck him.

boom!

Almost instantly, Hurle was hammered to death on the ground.
