Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 334 333. Hunting
The discussions at the mouth of the valley quickly turned into practical actions.

Under Hei Niu's command, five or six guards who had taken off their leather armor and replaced them with rags ran out in the direction given by Liao Hua to attract the attention of the county lieutenant.

And Zou Cang hung behind them, moving covertly among the surrounding woods.

Between the foothills.

The county lieutenant who came out from Ying County to hunt for thieves wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This time he came out to beg for the thief himself. He had no choice but to seize this rare opportunity to make meritorious service.

If he didn't grasp it this time and the refugees left, his promotion path would be far away.

Oh no.

What refugees, that is the Taiping rebellion, is the bandit army!
"County lieutenant, take a rest. You are so tired. I have water here. Take a sip."

Next to the county lieutenant, a person offered a water bottle while licking his face.

The water bottle is made of bamboo, which is different from the water bags carried by others.

The county lieutenant wants to be promoted, so naturally there are people under him who want to please the county lieutenant.

The water bag can hold water, but it has a smell. No, in order to show performance, this person prepared bamboo tubes in advance.

The county captain hummed, took a sip from the bamboo tube, and felt much better physically and mentally.

"Have a heart."

"Hey, it should, it should."

A short fix.

The county lieutenant sent out people to search again, and even he himself led people forward to investigate.

"How can these rats hide like this? I still don't believe it, they can hide underground!"

After several days of searching in vain, the county lieutenant's patience was almost worn out.

He thought to himself, if not, just go down the mountain to find a few villages with people and slaughter them, and call it Taiping rebellion.

Killing good men for meritorious deeds is no stranger to the county lieutenant who was born in the army. Although he has stopped doing this kind of thing for some years, he still has work in hand.

Didn't it be chaotic if you didn't do it before? There were officials at every level, and the loopholes were not easy to fill.

But what year is it now?
Taiping is rebellious, who can say that the people in those villages have no heart for Taiping?

Just when this idea intensified.

A soldier ran over excitedly to report.

"Report! Report to the county captain and find out the whereabouts of those refugees!"

"what!"

The county lieutenant had a happy face and asked quickly.

"where?"

Later added.

"What refugees? Those are all vicious Taiping rebels!"

"Oh, yes, yes, the Taiping army is rebellious!"

The soldier quickly changed his words, and then pointed to one side.

"Brothers found a few refugees going there, they followed up and asked the younger one to come back and report, because they should be able to find their gathering place."

"it is good!"

"It counts as your meritorious deeds!"

"let's go!"

"correct."

The county lieutenant looked back at the man who had just handed him water.

"You, and you, the two of you brought a few people back to Ying County to report to the county magistrate, and said that they found traces of the traitor, and Li Cheng, the county captain of Ying county, led the army to ask for it!"

"promise!"

The two people who were named had joy on their faces, and quickly took orders.

Soon, the county lieutenant summoned the county lieutenants, and followed the soldiers who came back to pass the message to the direction where the refugees were found.

The other group was heading towards Ying County, and there were about five or six of them.

Shady place.

A red light flashed in the eyes of Zou Cang who was hiding among the bushes.

These are the beasts who don't do anything and wear human skin.

own wife and children.

My own home was all turned into flames that burned that night.

No sound was made.

Zou Cang is like hunting down the most cunning fox in the forest, be careful and cautious.

It's not long since the two groups separated, and it's not time to hunt yet.

"Six people and six arrows are enough."

keep up.

Zou Cang hangs behind them, like a lonely soul that no one can find.

waist.

He opened a bamboo tube ahead of time.

The bamboo tube was full of viscous, foul-smelling liquid.

This is the venom extracted from the poison he caught in the valley before.

It's not such a rare thing, but it can definitely kill a person when it enters the flesh and blood.

Continue to follow.

Zou Cang has already taken out the short bow in his hand.

on a corner.

He walked a few steps quickly, leaned over and hid under a tree.

Look sideways to the other side.

The few people who were still in front of them just now appeared under him.

draw the bow.

An arrow was wrapped in a circle in a bamboo tube, and the arrow was covered with deadly venom.

whoosh-

what! !

One person fell to the ground, wailing miserably.

The sudden screams startled the remaining few people, and they quickly looked at the person who made the sound.

That's how it looks.

Another arrow flew out and hit someone in the throat.

Woo-!
puff.

Another person fell.

The remaining four people don't know what happened.

Quickly looking for a place to hide.

high.

Zou Cang was in no hurry.

hunting.

Patience is also part of it.

The remaining four people avoided possible arrows and searched for traces of the archers.

But for a while.

There was no sound at all around.

If it wasn't for the fact that one of the two fallen was crying weakly and foaming at the mouth, they would have thought it was just a hallucination.

"How to do?"

The one who just handed the water out of the four asked a question.

Judging by his expression, it is not difficult to guess that he wants to leave first.

And the others almost meant the same thing.

"It's hopeless, the man is spitting, the arrow must be poisonous, we'll run separately, how about life and death?"

They are all county lieutenants.

Although everyone is not very good at fighting, but who is afraid of running away?
As soon as this person spoke, the others all nodded.

"go!"

let's go.

The four rushed out of their hiding places.

Each fled.

"Ah."

under the tree.

Zou Cang sneered.

"Run separately?"

"No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't escape the bow and arrow in the hunter's hand."

Seeing them fleeing separately, Zou Cang didn't show any urgency at all.

quietly followed one of them.

At the moment when the opponent flickered and froze slightly, the arrow in his hand flew out.

The off-string arrow roared.

With a buzz, the arrow pierced into the man's lower back, blood spilled out, and the wailing sounded endlessly.

After the hit, Zou Cang's footsteps did not stop at all, and he continued hunting in another direction.

In the mountains and forests, no clues can escape the eyes of hunters.

Soon, Zou Cang caught up with another one.

Pulling the bow and shooting arrows, one prey after another was hunted down by Zou Cang.

No one can escape.

And on the other side.

Entrance to the valley.

Hei Niu, Liao Hua and others ambushed in the high places on the left and right sides.

Beside them, hundreds of refugees who were called to help were nervous.

Fortunately, Liao Hua and the others didn't expect these refugees to be of much help. As long as the county lieutenants entered the ambush circle, it would be considered a victory for these people to smash those stones down.

But not all refugees are nervous.

One of the five fingers on the palm of his left hand was broken, but the eyes of the young man who was following an old man were full of eagerness to try.

"Grandpa, do you think I can kill a county lieutenant?"

The old man next to the young man nodded slightly.

"With this arrangement, as long as the county lieutenants come in, they will surely die."
