Chapter six hundred and fifteen opponents
Outside Baishan Pass, Yehuaipong.
A team of scouts from the Bohai Kingdom approached carefully. This location was the best place to observe the defense situation of the Ning army at Zhendong Pass. Just over a year ago, this place was not called Zhendong Pass, nor did it belong to Ningguo.
The scouts of the Bohai Army were quietly showing their heads from the Yehuaipiao slope and raised their eyes to look at the opposite city gate. The defenders on the city wall seemed to have not noticed their arrival. It was covered with snow and the ice and snow in the canyon did not melt all year round. Wherever they could not see the sun, the cold would always be unscrupulous. They were covered with the same snow-white cloak and were lying on the high slope. If they did not move, anyone would think it was just snow.
"Tell me down."
The scout team was lowering their voices and said, "The Ning army's defense change takes about once an hour, and the number of permanent defenders on the city wall is about 500."
The scout behind him nodded: "Remember."
The team was just hunching, feeling the frozen snow under his body seem to have loosened a little. They looked sideways and then saw the grass actually squirming.
Grass is not a bug, so how can it squirm when there is no wind?
The scout team was immediately turning over and remembering that a short knife stabbed from under the snow layer and pierced into his heart. Warm blood gushed out of his heart, and soon dyed a lot of snow red.
Someone took it out under the snow layer, swept the knife across, and swept the neck of the Bohai scout behind him.
About sixteen or seventeen scouts from the Bohai Kingdom near Yehuaipo were killed without even 20 breaths, and the bodies that fell to the ground quickly became stiff.
Shen Leng took off the straw coat on his body, squatted down and pressed the Bohai people's body beside his feet, confirming that the person was dead, so he waved his hand. His scout quickly pulled the bodies into the forest not far away, pulled the Bohai people's military uniforms and replaced them. In order to facilitate distinction, each person tied a red rope to his wrist.
After changing their clothes, they came out of the forest and followed the footprints left by the scouts from the Bohai Sea to explore the distance.
The canyon outside Zhendong Pass is very long. The scouts of the Bohai Sea people can easily approach Yehuaipo. Such a place less than fifty feet away from Chengguan is obviously not coming through the canyon. If they came from the opposite side, the lookout hand at the high place on the Chengguan would have already warned.
It was precisely because he had found traces of scouts outside the city for several days, but he did not find the origin of the scouts, so Shen Leng personally led his people to ambush here.
"Linzi."
Shen Leng squatted down and made a gesture, and the scouts stopped immediately.
"The Bohai people came through this forest, but they had checked the scouts before. The forest was not big, and there was a cliff opposite. The cliff was dozens of feet high. It was impossible for the Bohai people to fly down..."
Shen Leng paused when he said this: "So you may encounter their response later, so be careful."
Everyone responded softly, Shen Leng pointed forward, and Sumiyan brought four scouts into the forest first.
Although it has been June, the snow is thick and hard in the valley forests. Most people think that stepping on the snow will leave marks. However, the frozen snow is strong. If you sweep it with the branches, the dust will sweep away the footprints. Even if you don’t deal with it, you won’t see anything after a gust of mountain wind.
The more you walk into the mountains, the harder the snow is, the shallower the footprints. When it reaches the edge of the forest, Sumihiko waves his hand to stop.
He approached the forest alone, hid behind a tree and looked at the cliff opposite. He did not notice that a rope was slowly lowered on his head, without any sound. When the rope reached his head, it suddenly accelerated and accurately put it into Sumihiko's neck. The scout of the Bohai Kingdom hiding on the tree pulled up suddenly, and Sumihiko's body was lifted up.
Fortunately, he is Sumihiko.
The moment he was pulled up, Sumihiko's feet kicked hard on the ground, and as he jumped up, the rope that was strangled on his neck became loose. In the air, he reached out to take the rope away from his neck, and kicked his feet on the tree trunk in the air, and the scout of the Bohai Kingdom on the tree was pulled down.
There were crossbows shooting from several nearby trees. The arrows arrived in an instant. Sumihiko kept moving around the forest like a cheetah. The man hanging behind him had to let go, but he stood up. However, he didn't expect that Sumihiko actually went around in a circle and ran back, punching him in the neck. This punch made the scout in the Bohai Kingdom's throat click, and he didn't know what was broken.
The crossbow arrows came from several angles, and Sumihiko dodged left and right, and the crossbow arrows poked into the frozen snow one by one behind him.
The Daning scouts behind came to support and hid behind the tree and fought back with a crossbow. The number of scouts in the Bohai Kingdom on the tree seemed to be large and they did not intend to retreat. They thought this was a standard five-man scout team of Ning Army, so they wanted to take advantage of the number of people to defeat the five-man team in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Shen Leng and his men surrounded him from the flanks. Sumiyan heard a bang and looked back. A scout of the Bohai scout fell from the tree and fell not far away. As soon as he stopped, there were also bodies falling in the other direction. The sound of banging was endless. In just a short moment, at least a dozen bodies fell down and scattered everywhere.
Shen Leng, Dewey, Chen Ran, and three others jumped out of the tree and looked around. A scout from the Bohai Kingdom who was hiding in a farther place ran away.
"How dare they get so close?"
Shen Leng frowned slightly: "Meng Changan said that the people of Bohai are afraid of being beaten and almost never dare to approach within ten miles of Zhendong Pass. This doesn't seem to be afraid of being beaten."
When Meng Chang'an was guarding Baishan Pass, his favorite thing was to take his scouts to hunt in the mountains. The scouts of the Bohai Kingdom regarded Meng Chang'an as a demon, so later, no one dared to get close to the ten-mile range. In the Bohai Army, the scouts mentioned that Meng Chang'an was both hated and afraid.
Shen Leng squatted down and checked the corpses of the Bohai people: "Take two corpses back for Meng Chang'an to see."
The subordinates immediately came up and carried the two bodies back.
After Shen Leng left the forest, he looked on the cliff and saw someone standing on the edge of the cliff, as if he was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other for a while, and the man turned around and left.
The scout team withdrew to Zhendong Pass, and Meng Changan came to see it after hearing the news.
"It's true that they are from Bohai people, but their scouts' equipment seems to be different."
He squatted down and looked at it: "There are a lot of small objects, but they look quite practical. You just said that their scouts dared to take action directly. This is something wrong. The scouts of the Bohai people's first reaction when they saw Daning's scouts was to run away and would never take action rashly. Their courage suddenly became stronger..."
Sumihiko touched his neck, and there was a faint blood on it.
“Very accurate and stable.”
Sumihiko said: "Although their martial arts are a little worse, they don't seem to be afraid. It's not that I was accidentally, but if it were another brother, they might have been hung up."
"Someone is helping the Bohai people train scouts?"
"Can it be a black warrior?"
"It's not the trick of the black warrior."
Meng Changan shook his head: "I have come into contact with too many scouts of the Black Warriors, Bohai people."
He was about to continue saying that a personal soldier ran in outside: "General, something happened... Several scout brothers who had just left for patrol were attacked by someone, and all five were dead."
Meng Changan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Leng with his head turned.
Chen Leng also felt a little incredible.
In the past, the scouts of the Bohai people must have run away, but this time they dared to come back and sneak attack the Daning scouts who were cut off. This is not a matter of attacking less. Daning's scouts are all elite among the elites. A five-man team cooperates tacitly. Even if they face the pursuit of a hundred Bohai border troops, they can at least withdraw. Even if there are casualties, they will not be killed.
"This person is familiar with the way the Daning Scouts act."
Meng Changan looked at Chen Leng: "This seems to be something wrong."
"yes......"
Chen Leng walked out: "Look at the body."
The scout who reported the news shook his head: "Don't go and see, the dead brothers were cut too many times, and they were covered in blood."
As soon as the cold feet stopped, the fists gradually clenched.
Meng Changan patted Chen Leng's shoulder: "The hatred of the Bohai people towards us Daning is still above the black martial arts. The origin of hatred is just because Daning's life is much better than theirs, so I hate it. I have fought with the Bohai people, and they do not leave any living to Ning people."
Chen Leng nodded: "I remember."
At the same time, Bohai Camp.
The gloomy young man returned to his barracks, and no one let him disturb him. When he stood on the cliff, he saw the young General Ningren, who guessed that it might be Meng Chang'an, the governor of Baishan Pass.
But if nothing unexpected happens, Meng Changan should be in Sula City at this time, why did he suddenly come back?
It may also be that you guessed wrong.
He hoped that he guessed it wrong.
If he was a Bohai native, he would definitely remind the general Pu Wanshu of the Bohai Kingdom who led his army this time, but he was not, so he would not care whether that person was Meng Chang'an. If so, it would be better because he was eager to kill a powerful general like Meng Chang'an. In that case, he would become famous all over the world. Even if he did not become famous all over the world, it would be something to be proud of for the rest of his life, because he did not like Ningren.
Just then, the knocking sound outside was heard, and the young man got up to open the door. General Park Wanshu of Bohai Kingdom looked at him: "I heard that you lost dozens of people this time?"
The young man frowned: "War has life and death, it is a magical art, and there is no life and death war, it is a play."
Park Wanshu was very dissatisfied with his attitude: "Your Majesty invites you to come, not to let you die with the elite soldiers of our Bohai Kingdom."
"Elite?"
The young man looked at Park Wanshu's eyes: "If the elite force is to run away when you see Ningren? In the end, a five-man team left by Ningren found your scout again. The five-man team chased dozens of people and ran. If I hadn't returned to pick up, your so-called dozens of elite force would have been killed by a five-man team of Ningren."
Park Wanshu's face seemed to flush slightly, and he snorted: "I don't care about these things. Your Majesty promised you to train troops with a heavy reward. You have not given me a satisfactory explanation so far."
"I don't need to explain it to you."
The young man looked at Park Wanshu's eyes and said seriously: "I was invited by you, Bohai King, and I want to explain it to him. As for you... your level is too low."
He sat down and said, "You're so angry, or you'll kill me?"
Park Wanshu's eyes suddenly turned red, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, but he didn't pull it out in the end.
This person was invited by King Bohai, Sang, and is said to be the first to study in Daning. However, he stayed in Daning for only one year before he was transferred back because of the tight war in Sang Country. It is also the second Sang person who returned alive from Ning Country so far, and the other is now leading troops in Sang Country.
"Remember my name, Suga Aso, you will thank me in the future."
