Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 28 Sniper Night Battle
Guo Wuwei's messenger didn't know whether it was out of caution or because he had a feeling in his heart. After separating from the two Song soldiers, he ran westward with all his strength.

Because it was too close to Song Ying, Ye Chen didn't act in a hurry, and secretly followed the spy, passing through the rocky hills to the west, and came to a wilderness.

The two ran forward one after the other, but Ye Chen's heart became more and more awe-inspiring, because he found that the messenger was also a master of martial arts. In terms of speed, there are also traces of light work.If it weren't for the flatness of the wasteland, Ye Chen's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, and his physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people, so he might be lost.

In this way, after a full incense stick, the sky was completely dark, a few stars appeared high in the sky, and when the moon was rising, the messenger suddenly stopped at a damaged dock.And walked into the dock.

This place is about ten miles away from Songying. Ye Chen knows that there are many Wubaos like this one in the wilderness outside the northwest city. It is because the people in the Northwest use Wubao as a shelter from the war and thieves in the past 50 years. A strong stronghold, even those in power turn a blind eye to them, as long as they are willing to pay taxes and donate food, everyone can live in peace.

It's just that the fortress is already in dilapidated condition. Ye Chen sneaked in quietly. After looking at the traces of the broken wall by moonlight, he judged that the fortress was not damaged for a long time. due to.

After a while, Ye Chen climbed on the top of a two-story stone building, looked at a yard behind the building, and exclaimed in his heart that it was dangerous.Start aiming with a bow and arrow in hand.

Behind the stone building is a relatively intact small courtyard. The messenger is in it. He got a birdcage from nowhere and is about to open it.

Ye Chen couldn't see what kind of bird was in the cage, but he probably couldn't be a carrier pigeon, because carrier pigeons are easy to get lost when flying at night, even if they fly to Jinyang City, which is less than [-] miles away, it is not safe.

The bird in the cage was most likely an exotic bird with excellent night vision.

With the scene in front of you, you don't need to think too much, you know what the messenger wants to do.

The messenger just opened the birdcage, took out a piece of dried meat in his hand, and was about to feed the bird, when his face suddenly changed, and he fell backwards holding the birdcage.

"Om..."

There was a slight sound of piercing through the air, and an arrow grazed the messenger's scalp and pierced into the earth wall of the small courtyard with a hiss.

Ye Chen's face changed slightly, thinking that he was indeed a mother's martial arts master, and he can guarantee that normal people will definitely not be able to dodge his arrow.In order to avoid his sure-fire arrow, at least two conditions must be met. First, the moment the arrow leaves the string, a slight sound of piercing through the air can be heard.Secondly, it is necessary to have a body reaction ability far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Thoughts flashed in Ye Chen's mind, but he had already pulled out two arrows from the quiver at the fastest speed in his hand, one rested on the bowstring, and the other was held in his hand. After the first arrow was shot, the second Arrows followed closely behind, and the arrows that almost joined each other were also shot out quickly.It's just that the trajectories of the two arrows are slightly deviated.

But at this time, the messenger had already jumped up, holding the birdcage in his left hand, and pulled out a long knife from his waist with his right hand, looking at Ye Chen with cold eyes.Obviously, this person is highly skilled and courageous, and it may be seen from the arrow just now that Ye Chen is just an ordinary archer, and he is alone.Therefore, not only did he not think about running away, but he wanted to kill Ye Chen instead.

As soon as the sound of piercing the air sounded, the messenger slashed down with a knife, and accurately sent an arrow flying, but the second arrow followed closely behind, but he didn't have time to fly, but his body instinctively moved sideways to the right.

But then he suddenly remembered something, his face changed drastically, but it was already too late.

Almost at the same time, a shrill bird's cry suddenly came out of the birdcage, and an arrow was half inserted in the birdcage, shaking slightly.

After Ye Chen's surprise attack with the first arrow failed, he knew that at the current distance of more than 30 steps, it would be difficult for him to hurt the messenger with a bow and arrow.So, I said decisively and killed the bird that was used to deliver the letter first.

"Damn! I want to make your life worse than death." The messenger's face was extremely ugly, and his heart was full of murderous intent. With a low drink, he dropped the birdcage, kicked his feet, and rushed towards the stone building where Ye Chen was.This bird is the most difficult to tame in the legend, but it is extremely durable and can travel day and night. Hai Dongqing, a rare bird in the north, is worth tens of thousands of gold, and it is priceless, so it can be said to be extremely precious.He didn't want to be shot to death by Ye Chen's arrow.

At this time, Ye Chen's arrows came again. This time Ye Chen pulled out three arrows from the quiver at the same time, stringed them up at the same time, raised the longbow, and shot them out simultaneously, covering the upper, middle and lower parts of the messenger's body.

This is a stunt that Ye Chen has practiced hard, but it can only be effective within a short distance. Not to mention that the arrow is powerless beyond [-] steps, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy.

A scene that horrified Ye Chen happened. The messenger let out a low shout, kicked his feet, and jumped into the air, reaching a height of two feet, just in time to dodge all three arrows.

After the messenger landed, he rolled forward, dodged Ye Chen, and then shot an arrow. He jumped and ran, and was less than ten steps away from the stone building. With his speed, Ye Chen could reach the bottom of the stone building with one shot at most. .

Although the stone building is about three feet high, it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to go up, but Ye Chen believes that it will not be difficult for the messenger, and it is possible to go up in an instant.

Ye Chen knew that in short combat, he could never be the messenger's opponent.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Chen had already made a decision. He didn't shoot the arrow, turned around and took two steps, squatted down quickly, grabbed the edge of the stone building with both hands, and jumped down.

Almost at the moment he just jumped off, the messenger had already climbed up the stone building, and even saw Ye Chen's jumping back.

There was a window on the side of the stone building where Ye Chen jumped off. The moment he jumped off, his feet hooked the window sill, and he slipped through the window without a sound.

This is the second sniper spot Ye Chen chose for himself.

As an excellent sniper, naturally he has already considered the possibility of failure, and has already thought about the second and even the third sniper point.

The moment Ye Chen got into the window, turned around and pointed out the window with a bow and arrow, a figure jumped down from the stone building and was passing by the window.

hum...

With three arrows buckled on Ye Chen's longbow, they followed the messenger's back and shot out at the same time.

Perhaps Guo Wuwei, Si Luoyi, and Yu Daoxiang, who are masters of progression, can move their bodies in mid-air and perform dodging actions, but Ye Chen has already judged from the previous battles that this messenger does not have such abilities.

boom!chi chi!

In the blink of an eye, the messenger was also amazing. He swung the long knife in his hand backward like lightning in mid-air, and knocked away an arrow that was aimed at a vital position in the back of his heart, but the other two were not spared. and left thigh shot.

The courier let out a muffled grunt, and fell to the ground, staggering slightly because of injuries to his left thigh and waist.And this stagger completely killed him.

Three more arrows were shot at the same time, the messenger tried his best to dodge one arrow and knocked one arrow into the air, but one arrow still pierced deeply into his other thigh.

Both legs were hit by arrows at the same time, and the flexibility of the body suddenly dropped. The arrow that followed was unable to dodge, and was directly shot through the throat, killing him.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, jumped out of the window, and ran over quickly. After finding the secret letter written by Zhao Kuangyin from the messenger's arms, he tore it into pieces without even reading it, and buried it with earth and rocks.

Ye Chen was about to leave, and found that the quality of the long knife in the messenger's hand was very good. Although it was much worse than the military stabbing dagger that Yu Daoxiang took away from him, it was also much stronger and sharper than the long knife deployed by the Great Song Army.So Ye Chen hung the long knife and scabbard on his waist again.

When Ye Chen returned to the North Camp, it was already late at night, except for all kinds of sentinels, the army had already fallen asleep.

Ye Chen found that there was no light in Cao Bin's tent, so he entered the tent of the soldiers, found his own bunk, took off his armor, and lay down without taking off his coat.

"Brother Ye! You're back. Have you completed the mission assigned by the commander?" Twenty Cao Bin's personal soldiers were sleeping in Ye Chen's personal tent, all of which were under Wang Chao's supervision.Ye Chen has been following Wang Chao these days, and also eats and lives here.Just sleep next to Wang Chao.Maybe Wang Chao was woken up by Ye Chen, or maybe he was worried about Ye Chen, but he didn't fall asleep at all, so he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Chen and asked in a low voice.

Feeling Wang Chao's concern for him, Ye Chen felt warm in his heart, and said with a suppressed voice: "Brother Wang! The tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief have been completed, and it went smoothly!"

Wang Chao didn't speak anymore, and soon Ye Chen heard Wang Chao snoring.But Ye Chen's heart was agitated at this moment, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.Because he never figured out why Cao Bin wanted to use his hand to kill Guo Wuwei's messenger.Before he returned to the barracks, he was worried that Cao Bin would kill people to silence him, but after much deliberation, he judged that the possibility was very small, so he finally returned to the barracks.

On the second day, at dawn, the Song army once again began to routinely attack the city from all directions, but compared with the beginning, the number of troops used was greatly reduced, and most of them used trebuchets and bows and arrows to attack.Xu is for the purpose of more or less consuming the troops of the Northern Han Dynasty and exhausting them from defending the city.

After Cao Bin got up together, Ye Chen went to report what happened last night.But before Ye Chen could speak, Cao Bin asked first, "The trip last night went well."

Ye Chen froze for a moment, looked at Cao Bin, and found that Cao Bin had a calm face, as if what happened last night was really just an ordinary scouting of the enemy.

Seeing this, Ye Chen felt relieved, and said, "Reporting to Commander, last night's trip went smoothly, and... I met a spy from the Northern Han Dynasty and was shot dead by my subordinates."

"Okay! Well done. In the past few days, you have been by my side at any time, pay attention to study more." Cao Bin said.

Ye Chen respectfully said yes.

In the past few days, the Song army has changed its habit of taking turns to harass and attack the city. It is leisurely and leisurely every day, digging trenches, piling up soil to build walls, planting antlers to repel horses, driving pilings and setting up camps. It looks like they are from a long way away. I came here from Kaifeng not to attack the city, but to come here to defend the camp.
