Chapter 261 The Disappearing Scout

Ma Ma is an excellent hunter. Because of his unparalleled insight, he was selected as a scout in Kang Siaoli's army.It's not easy to be a scout. Those who wake up earlier than chickens go to bed later than chickens.The only advantage is that the rewards are relatively generous.

The Turkic army has never said that it is paid, and how much it can benefit from working hard.One is to rely on robbing, and the other is to rely on rewards from the leader.Facts have proved that Kang Jiaoli is a good leader, and he will be rewarded with property every time he fights a battle.Coming out of the grassland, isn't it just the money for the purpose.

Ma Ma rode a horse and galloped up a small hill with a few young scouts.On the mountain bag, you can clearly see the condition of the road below.Mama doesn't like this place very much, there are mountains everywhere, and sometimes it is impossible to walk out of the mountains even for a day.Ma Ma didn't understand why some trees in the mountains here are still green in winter.

The jungle is full of weirdness, even on both sides of the road, there are many footprints of wild animals.The day before yesterday, they even encountered a mad bear.Bears do not hibernate in winter, and it is very dangerous for bears wandering outside.The huge bear's fur was shiny and reflected the light in the sun.With just a random slap of a pair of giant palms, the small tree with thick arms broke in two.But in front of the Turkic warriors equipped with strong bows, the sturdy bears will turn into barbecue.

Behind Ma Ma's saddle was the bear's fur.When we get back to the grassland, we can get some saltpeter, it will be the warmest to wear in winter.Apart from the two ingots of silver and a small bag of copper coins on his chest, these are the only gains from this journey. The half-grown son will be very happy to have this bearskin cloak.

Ma Ma doesn't like it here, especially today when her heart palpitations are severe.Distraught, Ma Ma decided to go up the mountain to have a look, and if there was nothing wrong, she would take the scouts back to the brigade.Today is the last day for him to come out, and he will not be used as a scout from tomorrow.

As soon as I got on the mountain bag, I saw a gray-haired Han man.This guy was actually wearing leather armor.He held a handful of dry firewood in his hand, and a horizontal knife in his waist.

This is a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, Mama's eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pin nose.The gray-haired Han turned around and ran away, Ma Ma drew his bow and arrow as fast as he could.Picking up the bow and setting up the arrow, the arrow shot into the thigh of the Sui soldier.Almost at the same time, the sound of bowstrings came from behind.The three eagle feathers accurately shot the old Sui soldier.

One of the arrows pierced the neck of the old man of the Han army, and he could see blood gushing out from such a distance.Ma Ma could only swallow the words that kept him alive, and the new guys behind him didn't know the difference between a warrior and a scout.An injured living body is more meaningful than a cold corpse.

"Uncle...!" A cry made Ma Ma overjoyed.Unexpectedly, a young man ran out, also wearing leather armor and holding firewood in his hand.Seeing the old man who was shot, he ran over regardless.

"Let's go!" A word spewed out from the bloody mouth, and the old man was no longer able to speak.Only then did the young man realize that the four Turkic men had already rushed over on horseback.

The young man galloped in the woods, while Ma Ma stopped people from shooting arrows, and let the horse trot to follow.This is a rookie on the battlefield, Ma Ma is very happy that he took him to find their camp.Just by looking at it, Ma Ma can guess the approximate size of this Sui army.And quickly assess whether it will pose a threat to the army. These are the basic qualities of an excellent scout.

The young man ran very fast, shouting something while running.Much like a dying gazelle, Ma Ma didn't even want to shoot him.This child is about the same age as his own son, and he went to the battlefield at such a young age.It seems that this Sui army should not be elite!
As soon as he followed the young man around the mountain ridge, Ma Ma gasped.The people on the opposite side were densely packed, and they uttered a cry and wanted to run away from the horse.A thick siege chisel pierced through his chest.With strong power, it flew up with Mama.It didn't stop until it hit a big tree hugged by one person.

With both feet in the air, the scene in front of him seems to be flying.When I was young, I was cut in half by something lazily.The upper body fell under the horse and howled, while the lower body was still sitting on the horse.The frightened war horse fled wildly, pulling out his intestines several feet long.Ma Ma even saw that his upper body was pulled far away and he hit a rock before he stopped.Not because the horse stopped, but because the intestines were pulled.

When she realized that she was nailed to the tree, Ma Ma felt severe pain rushing up from her chest like a tide.But this feeling didn't last long, as if two lumps of lead had fallen from his eyelids.When darkness enveloped him, he lost consciousness.

Yun Hao glanced at the mark nailed to the tree and the three corpses on the ground.It was very miserable, the whole person was shot in two.The intestines were dragged out by the war horses, and the internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys fell to the ground.In the air, the peculiar smell of internal organs was very unpleasant.

"All the horses have been brought back, and none of them escaped. I also searched nearby, and they have no accomplices." Duan Zhixuan came over in a suit of armor, and reported to Yun Hao in a low voice.

"Our scouts haven't come back yet, and others' scouts have already touched their noses. The Turks are not easy! Let's clean up, they will probably enter the ambush circle in a short time. Remember, our goal is to wipe them out. At least To achieve complete annihilation, if such a cavalry is allowed to wander behind, there is no need to defend Weize Pass!"

Yun Hao felt a little helpless, even for the elite Xuanjia Army.In terms of riding skills, they can't compare with these sturdy Turkic scouts, if there is not such a terrifying thing as a bed crossbow.Maybe these scouts will run away, and the ambush of Kang Jiaoli will be in vain.Yun Hao didn't even dare to think about such consequences.

"The scouts haven't come back yet?" Conshaoli glanced at the slanting sun when he was about to camp.Ask your lieutenant general!

"I didn't come back, Ma Ma is the best hunter. There should be no accidents, maybe it was delayed because of something. Wait a minute, there is a leeward place ahead, and we will camp there tonight." The lieutenant pointed with his horsewhip I took a look at a mountain ridge not far away.Below the ridge is a canyon, and this kind of camping place is rare in the cold winter.

"If we didn't come back before camping, we sent people out to look for it. Before camping, we had to search the hills on both sides and leave sentries. After leaving this mountain, we are only less than two hundred miles away from Jinyang. Be careful, I always feel that What the hell is Li Yuan doing?" Kang Jiaoli told his lieutenant that his mood was not very good these two days, and he was very irritable.

"Whatever Li Yuan thinks, let him want to go. Anyway, this time it's Liu Wuzhou who made the move, not us. I heard that Liu Wuzhou has moved out all his family assets, and he has a full army of [-]!"
