Chapter 149 The Advantage of Yuanli (Additional Chapter for the Silver Alliance Daily Salary)

He didn't even need to dismount his horse. He tilted his head to observe for a while and then said: "The convoy of officers and soldiers is heading here."

There are many forks on the west road, and the officers and soldiers took great pains to choose this road.

Further forward, a huge tree fell across the roadside, twisted and twisted.

"Hey, there are traces of heavy objects moving on the ground." Liandeng lowered his head and took a closer look. "The weight is so shocking that even a layer of sand and mud on the surface of the land was swept away."

"Are these giant trees?" He Lingchuan came down to inspect the giant sequoia trees. "The cross section is very new, and the wood juice has not yet dried. It took less than an hour to cut it down."

"The officers and soldiers used it to block the road. It was very smart."

Having said that, both of them were a little uneasy. It turns out that he is already so close to the officers and soldiers, less than an hour away, so where is Lu Yao?

How far away is he from the officers and soldiers?

He Lingchuan's face was as dark as water: "Go faster."

Going further over the hillside, thick fog hit our face.

"It's such a heavy fog!" Lian Deng was annoyed, "I can't see the road clearly."

He Lingchuan glanced at him with confusion in his eyes: "Can't you see clearly?"

"Ah, I'm almost out of sight." Lian Dengqi said, "Don't you think? Hey, there's a light on you."

"Light?" He Lingchuan lowered his head and saw a hazy and faint light emitting from his body.

Yuanli?

This shows that the straight-line distance between him and the officers and soldiers is very close, within the scope of the He Chunhua Sheji Order taking effect.

When leaving Blackwater City, He Chunhua temporarily included his eldest son in the army and promoted him to deputy lieutenant. It's not about preference, it's just a military position that's bigger than sesame, but if you are in the army, you are eligible to enjoy the bonus of Yuanli.

Where is the use of Yuanli here? In He Lingchuan's view, there was only a very light layer of mist floating in the mountain forest, which could not block his vision.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liandeng walked towards the forest on the right. He Lingchuan grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

Liandeng looked puzzled: "Walk."

"The road is here." He Lingchuan pointed forward, "Where are you going?"

"Isn't that a cave?"

"..." He Lingchuan understood, "Come with me. I don't know what formation my father has set up. Only with the blessing of Yuanli can I know the way."

Liandeng had no choice but to obediently follow the instructions and murmured as he walked:

"Dear me, isn't this going to hit a tree?"

Then walked over.

Although Wu Shaoyi plans to surrender to the royal court, he has not yet met He Chunhua and has not yet become a member of the official army, so Wu Shaoyi and his men cannot enjoy the bonus of Yuanli yet. In Liandeng's opinion, He Lingchuan led him either into trees or through mountains. Sometimes he went too far, walking straight towards the cliff covered with white clouds, which made his liver tremble.

As a result, the two of them were fine and there were no problems.

It’s great to have the blessing of Yuan Power. Liandeng sighed, missing the days when he could enjoy the bonus of Yuanli.

While walking, He Lingchuan suddenly stopped and let out a light sigh.

"What happened?" From Liandeng's perspective, the two of them were about to hit a mountain wall.

"I saw Lu Yao, on the mountain road opposite the cliff." He Lingchuan solemnly said, "Pei Xinyong was walking with him, followed by a large group of people, at least up to 1,788."

His voice was very low. With the terrain like "a few", his voice could easily echo in the valley.

Now he and the bandit army on the opposite side are equivalent to left-handed and right-handed hooks in the shape of "a few". Although there is a deep cliff ravine between the two sides, the line of sight is unobstructed.

At least for He Lingchuan, he could directly see everyone on the mountain road opposite.

Liandeng whispered: "Are they also playing in circles?"

"...No!" He Lingchuan observed for a moment before saying, "They are walking on the right path. They are not going too far or going in circles."

Lian Dengqi said: "Isn't that right?" Everyone was a rebel. He was deceived, but Lu Yao was not. What kind of natural principle is this?

He Lingchuan sneered: "He was holding a piece of cloth in his hand, and the other end of the piece of cloth was in the sky... Well, I saw the kestrel. This thing was flying in the sky and was taking them out of the fog."

Liandeng suddenly realized: "Yes, the bird of prey is flying high in the sky, and the formation cannot blind it!"

Kestrel can see through it, so the formation will naturally not be able to trap Lu Yao.

what to do?

"Can you shoot it down from this distance?"

Liandeng shook his head decisively: "It's too far. It would be better if we were closer. Well, actually, my archery skills are not particularly outstanding."

He Lingchuan looked at him with disdain. Is this a euphemism for "sucks"?

I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it!

"There is a small road on the edge. Let's get closer first and then think of a way." The team of officers and soldiers walked slowly. If they kept going like this, it would be a matter of time before they were overtaken by the bandits.

The two of them accelerated their horses and bypassed the huge "ji"-shaped cliff. There was another path leading into the mountain a hundred feet behind the bandit army.

The road was uneven and there were many branches. The two horses barely made it half a mile and could not go any further.

He Lingchuan and Liandeng had no choice but to abandon their horses and walk.

At this time, they were running in the woods halfway up the mountain, almost parallel to the rebels, but the altitude was about four or five feet higher than them.

The reason why we did not climb the ridge was because the ridge was bare and difficult to hide from the sharp eyesight of the kestrel.

"There is a chance!" Although Lu Yao and others rode along the way, the direction guided by the kestrel kept changing, and they did not dare to gallop on their horses. After all, the road conditions were complicated.

One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. The trouble they often face is that the trees on the roadside are too tall, and strips of cloth occasionally hang on the treetops...

Whenever this happens, the falcon must deviate from its route, reel the entangled cloth back, and then continue to lead the way, otherwise it will lead its owner into the ditch.

He Lingchuan explained this situation to Lian Deng in a low voice, and then said: "At that time, it has to fly down, which can be used. We are closer to the treetops, within eight feet, can you shoot it?"

Eight feet is still an exaggeration, the treetops in front are at most six feet (19 meters) high.

"Yes!" Lian Deng was confident, "I can hit it even with a slingshot!"

"Okay, follow me."

The two quietly followed the side of the enemy army, hiding themselves in the dense treetops, waiting for an opportunity.

God really treated He Lingchuan well.

That is, half an incense stick later, the opportunity came.

This time, the cloth accidentally got hung on a huge camphor tree.

It was too big, and it was difficult for the falcon to avoid it.

Lu Yao found that the cloth was hung firmly, pulled it twice and found that it did not move, so he blew a whistle to notify the upper part.

The red falcon descended upon hearing the sound, preparing to go around the branch and pull the cloth back.

If it failed to pull it back, the bandits would have to climb the tree and untie the cloth themselves. This had happened once before, so Lu Yao also reminded it to be extra careful.

This moment was a godsend for He Lingchuan and the other man, who were standing on the cliff and were three or four feet taller than the bandits on the ground.

It would be a shame if they didn't shoot.

Seeing the red falcon folding its wings and descending, rushing towards the treetops, He Lingchuan said in a mosquito-like voice: "Quick!"

They were too close to the bandits. If Lu Yao and others found them, they really had no confidence in escaping.

When the two ran here, Lian Deng took a long breath before he could catch his breath, took the bow from his back, aimed at the arrow, and shot it out with a "swoosh"!

Success or failure depends on this arrow.

The sound of breaking through the air was very weak, but the red falcon was extremely alert. Before the arrow touched its body, it slightly opened its wings and turned over, and it actually dodged it narrowly!

The arrow almost passed by its belly.

However, if it didn't hit, it didn't hit.

The two of them were immediately disappointed.

This was bad. Not only did they miss the target, but the Red Falcon would also issue a warning. When the 1,700 or 1,000 bandits surrounded and beat them up, they could do anything.

Trash! Trash! Trash! He Lingchuan cursed in his heart. He saw the Red Falcon turn over and look at the place where the two were hiding. He opened his beak and prepared to call.

No, he had to seal its mouth! He subconsciously pulled out the broken knife from his waist and threw it fiercely.

Although the knife was thrown out at a very fast speed, its path was crooked and it drew an arc in the air. It flew behind the Red Falcon, so of course it didn't care.

But the thing turned around and came back.

The Red Falcon turned around to avoid it, but it was too late.

The two saw a handful of blood mist burst out in the air. The Red Falcon screamed and fell straight down!

This, this is also possible?

Both of them were stunned.

He Lingchuan subconsciously opened his mouth and looked at his right hand.

God's right hand.

"Run!" Lian Deng didn't have time to give him a thumbs up, he grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, "Go, if you don't go, you will become a meat paste!"

The two rushed to the ridge without saying a word and started running wildly.

Of course, He Lingchuan led the way in front, and Lian Deng followed closely. The thick fog is the best camouflage, and you will be safe if you run far away.

The bandit army below also found something wrong. Lu Yao took a few steps forward to catch the red falcon. He saw that half of its wings were gone, and there was a long cut on half of its abdomen, deep enough to see the internal organs, but he didn't know what the murder weapon was.

Was it an arrow? It didn't look like it.

He was heartbroken and angry, and pointed his hand straight ahead: "There is someone there!"

The bandit army rushed forward.

Pei Xinyong pointed to the right and said in a deep voice: "I heard footsteps and falling stones there."

"Inside the formation, even hearing may be disturbed!" Lu Yao was still sane when he was angry, and said without hesitation, "Separate and chase! Watch your feet!"

The two of them didn't say much, each grabbed one end of the cloth strip, led one to the front and the other to the right to chase.

They knew what was going on in their hearts. The red falcon was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and could no longer lead the way. The only way now was to catch the person who attacked and show the way, so that the thieves would have a chance to escape from the fog.

The only one who could injure the red falcon in the fog was the scout of the officers and soldiers.

He Lingchuan was running on the ridge, and Lian Deng said as he ran: "Brother Chuan, why didn't you show off your unique skill of throwing flying knives earlier? You have to watch me make a fool of myself?"

He Lingchuan laughed dryly: "I have never practiced it, I just threw it blindly." He didn't think much about it at the time.

Lian Deng's face wrinkled. He could throw it so accurately blindly, how embarrassed he was when he had practiced it?

He Lingchuan thought of the arc drawn by the broken knife, which was both beautiful and strange, and attacked Hong Shun from behind.
