Chapter 199

Xu ER was a little surprised. Wei Ran's reasoning was not very difficult for a veteran scout, but it was great for a recruit who was just on the battlefield.

This shows that Wei Ran is very calm, so he can not only analyze the number of both sides from various details, but also roughly analyze the strength comparison of both sides.

He had seen many recruits who were new to the battlefield before. Whoever saw so many bodies and blood, his legs trembled. Those who could hold weapons were elite seeds.

Absolutely no one can behave like Wei Ran, calm, sharp and meticulous.

"Brother, aren't you on the battlefield for the first time?"

"I killed people when I was 13." Wei Ran answered the question.

Xu ER was stunned, but he couldn't understand what this meant. Killing in his youth didn't mean he could resist the murderous spirit on the battlefield.

"Boss Xu, what should we do next? Please give us some advice." Wei Ran arched his hand and asked.

Xu Er returned to his senses and said, "the county marquis is led by cavalry and will catch up soon. I'll leave a mark here, and then let a brother go back and report that we continue to investigate the northeast."

More than ten people continued to go to the northeast and soon chased to the edge of the Yellow River. On the road, they saw scattered bodies of guards shot and killed. Even the hundreds of guards scattered and fled halfway. The more than ten scouts had to follow the scattered footprints to chase East and West.

Wei Ran still followed Xu Eryi to chase eastward. There was a forest not far in front of him. The six men stopped in front. Although they saw the hoof prints, they continued to chase eastward along the Bank of the Yellow River, but they did not continue to chase.

They pretended to drink horses and rest, but they were actually discussing their next plans.

Wei Ran whispered, "before the hoof prints, there was confusion and panic, and there were obvious signs of war, but there was no body left. Before we got to the forest here, these hoof prints became flustered and undisturbed without accidents. It should be an illusion deliberately made by the rebel cavalry. "

Xu Er looked at Wei Ran, sighed and said, "if you didn't know that you have been training with us in the army for years, I would doubt that you were born as a scout."

Then he pointed to the forest, "the birds hovered over the forest and did not enter, and the elk lingered at the entrance of the forest. Hum, these rebels really think we are blind."

Wei Ran said, "they can ambush in the forest calmly. I'm worried that this pursued army has been destroyed or captured, if the princess..."

Xu Er bah, "women go to any battlefield. It's really adding chaos!"

Wei Ran looked at the woods and said, "since we know where the ambush is, we can either wait for the army to destroy it, or we can just scare the snake and lead them out to see how many people there are."

Xu Er frowned. Years of battlefield experience told him that when facing the enemy, he should be reckless, but sometimes he must be careful. Only in this way can he live long.

"I think we'd better wait for the cavalry led by the county marquis to come and send a brother to report first."

When he was arranging for a person to return the situation, more than a dozen riders appeared behind Wei Ran and far away from his side, and more than a dozen riders rushed out of the forest. The riders are all Kun with braided hair and left Lapel leather robes. They control the horse with their feet, hold bows and arrows, and roar loudly. They are actually Hu people!

Xu er's face changed sharply. "No, they found out our attempt to destroy us here."

Wei Ran stepped on the horse again and took out the bow and arrow. The scouts don't take long soldiers, because long soldiers have a heavy impact on horsepower and are equipped with short soldiers, bows and crossbows, concealed weapons, poisons and other equipment. Therefore, Wei Ran didn't bring out his long halberd.

"Fortunately, no big troops rushed out together. Only more than 30 people and horses can't stop us."

Xu ER and others also got on the horse to take the bow. "These guys are from Qidan. I once stationed in Yanyun and fought with them. I know that these guys have exquisite riding and shooting skills, and they are also very strong and brave, which is very difficult to deal with."

"Brother Xu, I'll break the array. After breaking through, I'll break the back again."

Although the Khitans rushed out, which made people feel more confused, the most important thing at this time is how to face the battle.

Wei Ran rode his horse and accelerated slowly. The bow in his hand was not an ordinary riding bow, but a composite reverse curved bow. It was made of Tuomu glued bamboo pieces, supplemented by ox tendons and ox horns. The bow force could reach four stones.

Ordinary walking bow has only two stones and riding bow has one stone and a half. Like the bow in Wei Ran's hand, one arrow can easily penetrate the triple armor under normal circumstances. Of course, with his strength, he can also wear a stronger bow. Especially when stepping, he can drive to at least eight stones, which is equivalent to the power of the crossbow.

However, bows with more than four stones need a lot of time and scrap countless products before they can be made. They can be met but not sought. Therefore, Wei Ran only brought the best strong bow that ordinary people can buy.

Wei ran back and others. Naturally, they met the Qidan team surrounded by them first. The two sides were pulled apart to prevent being targeted by the other party.

The two sides marched in opposite directions, and the distance was shortened at a very fast speed. Wei Ran estimated the range of the other side from himself only by his eyesight, rode leisurely on the horse's back, bent his bow and took an arrow.

Although the other party saw Wei Ran's action, they had not entered their own range. At this time, they could not shoot when they opened their bow. They could only speed up the horse and try to shorten the distance.

However, at such a long distance, these Khitans did not believe that this particularly tall Tang army scout could shoot them, and even laughed at them from a distance.

The man who laughed loudly, as soon as his voice fell, Wei Ran immediately let go of the string, and the arrow suddenly shot out at a speed hard for the naked eye! From the Khitan scout's open mouth, he shot into the back of his head, changed the angle slightly, and deeply hit the head of a scout behind him.

The scout who was hit by the arrow naturally fell off the horse on the spot, and the unlucky guy behind him, the horse under him suffered from pain, roared wildly, jumped and shook, and threw the unprepared unlucky guy down and trampled to death.

Wei Ran saw that everyone on the battlefield was stunned and felt very incredible. Khitan dared not laugh any more, but lay low on the horse's back to minimize the hit area.

Xu ER and others had a great morale boost. They shouted and chased Wei ran back one after another!

Still did not enter the best range of the Khitans, Wei Ran leisurely put on the bow string again, almost did not aim and let go again.

Even if the Khitan cavalry in front of them fell low, the arrows hit their bodies accurately, and the huge kinetic energy lifted the whole person off the horse's back.

In this short hedging time, Wei Ran shot three arrows and killed four people. The other side soon equals its own number, and then enters the other side's range.

These Khitans had been frightened by Wei Ran. At this time, they hurried to shoot arrows, which greatly lost their ordinary level, and none of them could hit. Xu and other people were so angry that they had time to get ready. After entering the range with the highest hit rate, they began the first wave of volley.

Five people and five arrows shot down a horse and two people, and the war record was fairly good. Wei Ran also shot an arrow, and the other party fell down one person again.

Now there are only two Khitan cavalry who can fight on horseback. They dare not stop any more. They crash and flee to both sides.

Another horse fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow. When Wei Ran passed by, he made a stroke with a horizontal knife and his head soared.

"Brother Xu, you go back first. I'll hold them down."

Wei Ran collected his sword and took his bow with a cool look.

Xu Er looked at Wei Ran, "Lao Jiu, go back and report to the county Hou. We'll stay and kill his mother!"

Wei Ran smiled, "OK, turn your head and kill his mother!"
