The soldier captain returned the letter to Cheng Jiuhou and said: "It's not safe here. You'd better not stay too long."
Cheng Jiuzhan stood up and put away the letter, nodded and said: "I got it, brother!"
Then, the soldier captain waved behind him, signaling his men to continue patrolling forward.
Just as the soldier commander passed by Chai Yan and made eye contact with Chai Yan, a cold arrow suddenly flew out of the woods beside the road and hit the soldier commander's thigh with a "pop" sound.
"ah!"
The soldier captain screamed and fell to the ground, his expression looking extremely painful.
"Enemy attack!"
"Beware of enemy attacks!"
After this scene happened, the scene immediately fell into fear and chaos. The soldiers on patrol were shouting and looking for a place to hide, their eyes fixed on the woods where the cold arrows were flying.
Chai Yan was right next to the soldier commander who was hit by the arrow. When he saw that he was injured and fell to the ground, he didn't think much at the moment and hurriedly ran over and dragged the man to the back of the carriage.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Chai Yan asked.
The soldier was sweating profusely from the pain, but he still shook his head firmly and said: "No...it's okay..."
Soon, two patrolling soldiers came to the back of the car and asked about the captain's injuries.
"Fortunately, no bones were injured..." One of the soldiers said thankfully after checking.
Another person said: "Stop the bleeding first and bandage it!"
With that said, the two of them got busy.
At this moment, Cheng Jiu walked around from the woods with his waist bent, came to Chai Yan and asked with great concern: "Sir, are you okay?"
Chai Yan said: "I'm fine, how are you guys doing?"
Cheng Jiu shook his head and said, "It's okay. The three of them are hiding behind the big rock over there, but they haven't seen Commander Hang yet..."
When Chai Yan said this, he thought of Hang Baiqiu. She went to relieve herself behind a tree just now and she hasn't come back yet. Don't let anything happen!
Just when he was about to turn around and call out, Hang Baiqiu came out from behind the tree and ran over here with a short body.
When Cheng Jiu saw Hang Baiqiu appear, he felt relieved.
"Were you attacked?" Hang Baiqiu asked when he came to Chai Yan.
Chai Yan lowered his voice and said, "There were rogues in the woods over there who fired arrows and hit a brother who was guarding the camp!"
The bandits led by Lu Tang have been surrounded in Lintai Mountain. At this time, no one but them will shoot cold arrows at the soldiers of the guard camp!
"Fire a cold arrow?" Hang Baiqiu said and looked at the injured soldier captain.
Then, Hang Baiqiu carefully moved to the back of the car, lowered his body and leaned half of his head out to observe the woods opposite, but there was no movement in the woods.
Hang Baiqiu turned around and asked, "Why is there no movement?"
Soldier A next to the soldier commander helped the soldier commander treat his wounds and said: "You don't know, this group of bandits is very insidious. They often shoot cold arrows at us when we are not prepared. Sometimes there are five or six arrows, and sometimes there are fewer arrows."
With one or two arrows at a time, usually those who hurt us will run away, and we can’t chase them..."
Hang Baiqiu was very puzzled after hearing this, and immediately asked: "Why can't I pursue you? There are so many of you..."
Another soldier B looked up at Hang Baiqiu and said: "The terrain in this mountain is too complicated. If we pursue rashly, we might fall into traps and ambushes set by rogue bandits. At first, everyone
I chased him several times before I knew it, and many brothers suffered losses, including being maimed and dead!"
Cheng Jiu said in a deep voice: "They are deliberately leading you into the mountain and then defeating them one by one!"
Soldier A and Soldier B nodded immediately. Although Hang Baiqiu did not nod or speak, he agreed with what Cheng Jiu said in his heart.
At this time, Soldier A broke a large section of the arrow on the wound, leaving only a section of the arrow that was not in the thigh. Then with the help of Soldier B, he simply bandaged the wound to prevent the wound from bleeding too much.
many.
Chai Yan knew that treating the wound in this way was not enough, so he asked the three captains: "Brothers, are you from Dongying?"
The soldier commander nodded with a painful look on his face.
"Yes!" Soldier A said.
"How far is the station in Dongying from here?" Chai Yan asked again.
The soldier was in pain and couldn't speak, so he pushed Soldier A. Soldier A immediately said: "It's not far, you can get there in half an hour. It's faster by carriage."
After hearing this, Chai Yan said decisively: "You help him get into the car, and we will send him back to the camp for treatment!"
Soldier A and Soldier B were very happy when they heard this. If there was a carriage, the soldier commander would be able to suffer a lot less.
The two soldiers thanked Chai Yan quickly, then helped the captain up, one on the left and the other on the right, and sent him into the carriage.
Under the arrangement of the soldier captain, Soldier A accompanied the carriage back to the Dongying garrison, while the rest of the patrol team was led by Soldier B. They need to continue patrolling along the road and can only return to the camp after completing the patrol mission!
Because of the cold arrow wounding incident and the addition of a wounded person and a soldier, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu decided after discussion to give the carriage to the two soldiers and Zhang Youde, and the other people would follow the carriage on foot.
Escort the wounded to the Dongying garrison.
After a while, the soldiers on the patrol determined that there was no abnormality in the surrounding woods, and Chai Yan immediately ordered the carriage to set off.
After this scene, everyone's mood has been completely different. The relatively relaxed mentality before has disappeared, and there is also a sense of oppression at the same time.
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun walked at the front of the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right. As they walked, they reminded Guan Maochun: "Lao Wu, you have good eyes and ears, don't follow other people's ways!"
Guan Maochun responded seriously: "I know, fourth brother!"
Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu followed the carriage, and their attention was always on the woods beside the road.
Hang Baiqiu looked around with his eyes wide open, and suddenly said in a low voice: "As of now, it seems that Lu Tang and his gang of bandits are not that easy to deal with!"
Chai Yan said with a single head: "Yes, the cold arrow sneak attack is combined with luring the enemy deep, and then looking for opportunities to defeat them one by one. This Lu Dan is quite strategic!"
Hang Baiqiu didn't like hearing Chai Yan praise a bandit, so he immediately said dissatisfied: "Chai Yan, who are you from? He is a bandit who caused trouble, and you still praise him?"
Chai Yan was not impatient and said patiently: "Sir Hang, have you ever heard this sentence? Do not underestimate your enemy at any time! Otherwise, underestimating the enemy may become a fatal injury!"
"I don't underestimate the enemy, I just don't like to hear people praise the enemy!" Hang Baiqiu said unhappily.
Just as Chai Yan was about to reply to Hang Baiqiu's words, he suddenly heard Zhang Youde's voice coming from the car: "There's someone!"
"Where?" Hang Baiqiu was immediately excited.
Chai Yan, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun also immediately tightened their hearts.
Zhang Youde stretched out a hand from the window of the carriage, pointed into the woods beside the road and said: "That! That's right there. I just saw a black shadow passing by, it seemed to be a person!"
"Are you sure?" Chai Yan asked.
"OK!" Zhang Youde shouted.
Chai Yan wondered if he was the one who fired the cold arrow just now!
Thinking of this, Chai Yan immediately said loudly: "Yu Tie, speed up! Others, be alert and be careful of hidden arrows and sneak attacks!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Understood, sir!"
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun responded at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the whip sounded, the carriage moved significantly faster, and the bumps in the carriage also increased...
