Chapter 216 Cat and Mouse, Spring (8200+)(2/2)
Xu Jie was writing fast and writing.
In the forests in the south of the Yangtze River, a man with crutches went up the mountain and went down the water. He was not slow, but he was sweating profusely.
Although he was sweating profusely, the man's face was still full of confidence.
The tender grass on the ground, the branches on the big trees, the fresh green leaves falling on the ground, and even the smell mixed in the air cannot escape the man's sensitive senses.
A middle-aged man next to him was no more serious than the man with crutches. He smiled and said, "Brother, it reminded me of many times in the past."
The man with crutches nodded, raised his hand and pointed in a direction. The two of them walked quickly, and there were still hundreds of people following him for dozens of steps behind him. After a hundred people, hundreds or thousands of men came in a hurry.
Wei Shiwu, who had just entered the forest, kept flying on the branches of the big tree. At this time, Wei Shiwu did not dare to fly up the branches and walked around the forest. Because on the branches of the big tree, although he ran faster, the goal was too obvious and he could not get rid of the pursuers. Instead, after he entered the forest, the pursuers seemed to disappear.
But from time to time, you can hear the faint sound of dialogue coming from the wind, which is enough to make Wei Shiwu extremely stressed, worried and anxious.
Xu Laoba said something to Xu Zhong from time to time, and these words can always be heard by Wei Shiwu. Xu Laoba is so experienced and confident.
When ordinary people track the enemy, they must hide their whereabouts to avoid alarming the enemy. However, Xu Laoba continued to expose his whereabouts with words, constantly creating psychological pressure on Wei Shiwu who was running away in front of him, letting him know that the pursuer was behind him, letting him escape even more eagerly, and unable to hide his whereabouts wholeheartedly in the eager escape.
This method was tried and tested by Xu Laoba and Xu Zhong in the mountains and ridges outside the Great Wall. The scouts of Shiwei people were also very good. They were very familiar with escaping in the forest and had good skills to hide traces. That was why this method was such a way to cause psychological pressure on the escaped people and reveal more flaws.
Often, if the escaper is upset, he will stop waiting and set up an ambush to escape, and know that there are not many pursuers behind him, so he will turn around and fight for his life.
Wei Shiwu was so upset and had been able to escape for more than two days, without sleeping, without eating or drinking. Wei Shiwu finally couldn't stand it anymore and finally decided to give it a try.
Xu Laoba and Xu Zhong were too skilled. After chasing forward for a few miles, they suddenly stopped. Two innate masters looked back to back at everything around them, listened quietly to the sounds in the wind, and even twitched their noses and smelled the smell in the air.
Then the two looked at each other, and Xu Laoba reached out and took off the water bag on his waist, drank a few sips and handed it to Xu Zhong, then took out the bread in his arms, and gave it to Xu Zhong half.
This is the difference between chasing people and being chased. Xu Zhong and Xu Laoba actually have food and drink.
The two of them eat and drink, but one of them secretly swallows their saliva. So what about the congenital people? Innate people also need to eat and drink water to live.
Wei Shiwu, who was secretly, even regretted it. If he had known that these two people would eat, drink and rest here, he would not have waited for ambush here. It would be better to run more distances to get a distance.
After the two of them had enough food and drink, Xu Laoba shouted: "Come out, eat and drink well, it's time to do it!"
Ambush is impossible. The two of them have too many experiences. They know that they have chased someone, so they don’t have to worry. They have a rest for a while, and even eat and drink. Otherwise, they would not stop and eat and drink, and they must be chasing while eating and drinking.
Cats play with mice, but that's it!
Wei Shiwu, who was secretly angry, knew that he had been teased, and when he pinched the hilt of the knife, he was ready to come out and fight to the death. However, this master from the Golden Palace Guard still resisted the impulse and hid in the crown of a big tree, motionless, waiting for the opportunity to kill a blow. Obviously, he knew that he could not fall into the trap, and the enemy must be trying. The time was not good at this time, so he must not be blindly impulsive.
But Wei Shiwu never expected that one of the two people in his sight suddenly turned around and left, and kept leaping back from the top of the tree. There was still one person but was still motionless.
Wei Shiwu was a little anxious and didn't know what the two of them were selling. However, he was still waiting in secret, waiting for the man to get closer and waiting for the man to reach the ambush before he could assassinate him.
After waiting for a long time, Wei Shiwu calmed down, and even admired his patience, his intelligence, and his lack of the enemy's temptation.
Wei Shiwu even felt that his chance of escaping was getting bigger and bigger. As long as he was so patient, he lurked until the enemy was out of patience and lurked on the ground and came to his door. After assassinating one person, Wei Shiwu was no longer afraid.
Not long after, Wei Shiwu suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from the forest, including in front, on the left, on the right, and on the back.
Wei Shiwu was immediately shocked. At this moment, he understood why one of the two people chasing suddenly turned around. The man turned around to greet his subordinates.
Wei Shiwu was actually surrounded like this.
This was something Wei Shiwu had not expected.
This is also the experience and tacit understanding between Xu Zhong and Xu Laoba. He didn't even have any words of discussion. This arrangement was only through eye contact.
The sweat on Wei Shiwu's forehead was like rain. The people who were looming in their sight were surrounded by water and water.
The two innate masters who had been chasing Wei Shiwu were together again.
Then he heard someone say, "It's time to come out this time, right?"
Wei Shiwu was still motionless, but his face turned pale, his eyes kept scanning left and right, thinking about how to escape.
Then someone laughed and said, "Damn it, you won't cry until you see the coffin. Take all the crossbows and shoot one tree after another!"
I heard the buzzing bowstrings in the forest!
Xu Laoba raised his hand and pointed at a big tree and said, "Photo this tree first!"
The men in the forest, including hundreds of people, were hiding behind the trunks, but they only appeared and vaguely exposed their bodies, surrounding the ground fifty or sixty steps in square foot. Among them, there were only twenty or thirty trees that could hide people.
The men pulled their bows and slapped their heads out, and hundreds of feathered arrows suddenly enveloped a crown, willing to leave them to fall and branches all over the ground.
This is not a way to chase the world, it is just a pattern of fighting in the forest. Every soldier knows that he can hiding behind a tree. Every man can shoot feather arrows together without orders.
Xu Laoba pointed to another tree again, another feather arrow, followed by a bush.
Xu Laoba never thought about shooting the innate master with a feather arrow to death. Xu Laoba and Xu Zhong just listened to the sound of the striking sound after the feather arrow was shot out. Is it a dull sound or a metal-iron attack?
Or maybe the person practiced a whole body of horizontal practice, without using weapons to block the feather arrows, and only with a body of copper and iron bones to withstand it, and could make a different sound.
This is enough to determine the enemy's location.
These former military men were brave enough to die, but they cherished their lives even more. They knew how to save their lives on the battlefield and not do such unnecessary and dangerous actions.
The tree crowns were one by one, the grass was one by one, and even people went to the tree crown that had been shot to pick up feather arrows on the ground. Xu Laoba and Xu Zhong also slowly moved forward, walking through places where they had been shot by feather arrows.
Finally, Wei Shiwu knew that he could not escape. The two of them were getting closer and closer. They were not even defensive postures from back to back, but were facing one direction at the same time. The unexpected ambush and assassination would never happen again.
Wei Shiwu looked at the two people getting closer and closer, chose the one who had broken his legs, and chose the one who had broken legs. The one who had broken legs should be easier to deal with, injure the person and escape again!
Wei Shiwu decided to go out of the tree canopy and headed straight for the man with broken legs.
Xu Zhong saw the sword light in the air and actually smiled, just like in the mountains and ridges outside the Great Wall in the past. At this time, there would be such a winning smile. At that time, this scene meant that the credit was received and you could go back and receive the reward.
For the soldiers of the Xu family at that time, the reward was also deducted, but it was enough for them to be happy for more than a month. Their brothers drank and ate meat, invited Dong Dali to drink and ate meat, spent money to build their own weapons, strengthen and repair their iron armor, exchange for a better crossbow, give some money to Yu Hou and others, and get a few stronger horses, and also put armor on the horse's chest and head.
The young man with strong spirits may be able to go shopping in the kiln! Or someone who can trust him to send some money to his family. Most of the soldiers of the Xu family have elderly and weak families, and many hungry children. Among them is the young Xu Jie.
Wei Shiwu felt that the man with broken legs was a soft persimmon, and he was obviously disappointed.
The two masters who used swords cooperated with each other and had a tacit understanding. Wei Shiwu was so much worse than the blood-handed Wang Wei, and he could no longer have the chance to escape.
A hundred and ten men surrounded him were retreating, retreating a hundred steps away, waiting with swords and crossbows.
There were more and more people following the world, more than a thousand people, all of whom were poking their heads in the forest to see the fight scene. Although they couldn't see it in detail, they were also amazed when they heard the sounds.
The strong wind can still blow the leaves rustling through the forest a hundred steps.
He also heard Xu Zhong's dull words: "Old Ba, let's fight with him. Jie'er explained and tried to keep a living."
Xu Laoba nodded: "Then let's keep fighting with him, let's see how long he can hold on. I think Jie'er will use him to make a lot of use."
However, after hearing this, Wei Shiwu suddenly felt much more at ease. People who are useful can naturally survive. However, Wei Shiwu did not want to fall into the hands of others, and was still trying to find a way to escape. However, he was still suppressed by these two people.
