Soul echo

Chapter 240 The Valley

The moment Zhong Ye and the others arrived, the sentry hiding in the dark launched an attack.

boom!boom!
Two shots sounded, both hitting the trees.

The knight sent by the lord widened his eyes and screamed, "Hidden!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran behind a tree himself. Of course, he didn't forget his beloved horse, but he just forgot his subordinates.

The soldiers didn't hide immediately after hearing the order. The two gunshots made them panic, and their heads suddenly became empty. They let the order rack their brains, and they couldn't find the tactics they learned in previous training. action.

At this time, the members of the Iron Wall Knights helped them, and while getting on their horses, they kicked the group of soldiers to the ground.

"Get down! Or hide behind a tree!" Zhong Ye frowned and shouted angrily.

Under his reminder, the soldiers took cover sparsely.

Contrary to the actions of the soldiers, the Knights of the Iron Wall charged directly towards the valley.

When they saw Zhong Ye rushing into the woods, they felt that the time had come. Without any hesitation, the knight commander ordered the banner bearer to hold up the banner of the knight order, and jumped out first on his horse, pointing directly at the valley entrance.

The woods at the mouth of the valley are different from the woods in other places. There is an evergreen tree growing here. Even in this cold winter, the leaves are still lush, which is more suitable for hiding.

When the gunshots sounded, Zhong Ye firmly locked on to the positions of the secret sentries. He could hear that, except for the two sentries who fired, everyone else ran towards the valley.

Seeing that the knights were about to charge, Zhong Ye turned around, ran into the woods, and ran towards one of the sentries.

The sentry who was loading the bullet tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart and tensed his arm muscles, but this did not make his loading speed faster.

The distance of tens of meters was only an instant under Zhong Ye's feet—almost an instant, the sentinel just blinked, and Zhong Ye appeared in front of his eyes.

Zhong Ye didn't draw out his weapon. He grabbed the sentry's shoulder, turned the inertia into force, twisted his ankle, and pulled the sentry's body.
Even though the snow was piling up, even if the ground was wet and soft, the sentinel still felt a force rising from behind, like a fountain, hitting every part of his body.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, followed by severe pain spreading from the bones to the muscles, like tearing and cracking.

"Ah-ah!!!"

Terrifying screams overflowed from the throat involuntarily, and tears rolled down, uncontrollable at all.

Zhong Ye let go of the sentry, turned his head to look at the position of the other sentry, turned his toes, and kicked up a cloud of snow and dust.

He jumped over the heads of the charging knights, looked through the forest, and saw a musket that was slowly being raised.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Zhong Ye didn't change his face, and when he kicked his feet on the ground, his whole body turned into a phantom.

The phantom image was a swimming fish, swimming flexibly among the trees. The sentinel kept turning the muzzle of his gun, but he couldn't keep up with Zhong Ye's figure.

--boom!

The sentry gritted his teeth, simply predicted the enemy's movement, and fired a shot.

Unfortunately, his bullet missed.

The rifle in his hand sank suddenly, and the sentry widened his eyes, seeing a broad palm pressing on the barrel of the gun, followed by a fist.

Zhong Ye withdrew his strength, did not blow the sentry's head off, and knocked him out with just the right amount of force.

Snatching the rifle from the sentry, and finding the bullet pouch from him, and hanging it on his body, Zhong Ye turned to the valley.

The Knights of the Iron Wall had disappeared, only gunshots and shouts could be heard coming from the valley.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Ye shouted at the soldiers who were still hiding behind the trees: "Follow!"

After the knights rushed into the valley, Lilian followed in. Even a little girl started to move, but the group of soldiers stayed where they were, not even daring to move.

This was not only caused by the timidity of the soldiers themselves, but also because the commander was incompetent, unable to inspire their will, and unable to integrate their strength.

Although it was Zhong Ye who proposed to 'request the lord's army for support', seeing these soldiers, he knew that the lord absolutely did not take this matter to heart.

Even, the lord of Limas knows what is in this valley...

With a cold snort, Zhong Ye walked like flying, and ran into the valley.

After entering the valley, he first saw a row of rejecting horses blocking the entrance of the valley. This row of rejecting horses forced the knights to dismount and fight.

Behind Juma, there are several wooden bunkers, and the people in the valley use these bunkers as defensive points to block the enemy.

On the road from Taniguchi to Juma, there were no trees or stones. Even if there were any before, they had been cleared away by those people long ago.

The knights could only hold up their shields, hold their own muskets with the other hand, and shoot at the enemy behind the horse.

Whenever a bullet fell on them instead of the shield, their armor would glow, weakening the kinetic energy of the bullet. Even if it didn't attenuate completely, the bullet would only cause a small crater or even bounce off when the bullet landed on the armor.

Now Lilian was squatting behind a knight, holding a Molotov cocktail in her hand.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. Zhong Ye imprinted all these scenes into his eyes, and his brain began to disassemble and analyze automatically, predicting the movement of every bullet, the flow of air, and even the next movement of each person. .

As if a foreseeable picture appeared in my mind, this is a 'miracle' created by the perception of up to 21 points!
The next footstep suddenly stepped down, the ground sank, and time continued to flow.

One of the shooters loaded his bullets, and just got up to put the gun barrel on the cover, when a bullet flying from behind the knights' position pierced his skull.

His death was covered up in the chaos of gunfire. Everyone focused on themselves and the enemy, repeating the two actions of loading bullets and shooting, and had no time and energy to pay attention to other people. .

But at this moment, Zhong Ye came out more and more, and even the knights didn't notice him running past them, until Zhong Ye's figure appeared in front of the rejection horse, and their eyes were attracted.

The enemies who were shooting at the knights also noticed Zhong Ye, and turned their guns one after another.

But they never expected that at the moment they made an action, Zhong Ye had already sensed where the bullet was about to fly.

Zhong Ye stepped on the rejecting horse and jumped up high.

Seeing the enemy's muzzle rise, he drew two throwing knives from his belt and threw them towards the enemy while turning his body.

One fell to the ground, but the other was caught between the eyebrows, and the man didn't even have time to pull the trigger.

At this moment, bullets erupted one after another!
Everyone put Zhong Ye's figure in the scope, but when the bullets were fired, they all passed Zhong Ye's side without hurting his body.

They watched Zhong Ye land lightly, without showing the slightest sign of injury, and their eyelids couldn't stop twitching wildly.

The next moment, Zhong Ye's figure disappeared in place and disappeared from their sight.

Seeing Zhong Ye's performance, the knight commander's eyes lit up, he stood up and raised his gun, and shouted loudly: "Shoot from cover!"

All the knights stood up at the same time, they had already loaded their bullets, and were waiting for the time to counterattack.

Crackling gunshots kept ringing out, and the people in the valley were so suppressed that they couldn't even raise their heads, and they couldn't escape, because the god of death had come!
Zhong Ye put the rifle behind his back, turned over the cover with a straight knife in his hand, and landed in front of the enemy. Before they had time to react, he swung the knife and killed them.

He had heard it when he was outside the valley just now. The Knights of the Iron Wall had declared their identity, but these people still attacked the Knights after hearing it.

This also means that they are hostile to the Knights!
Lilian put the burning bottle back, patted the neck of the harness horse that was lying on the ground like other war horses, pulled it up from the ground, turned on the horse, and swung the reins.

The draft horse neighed, and with four strong thighs, it charged at the rejecting horse.

Then, before hitting the rejection horse, he jumped high.

"Get on the horse!"

Seeing Zhong Ye going in and out of several bunkers, the knight commander put down his musket and issued another order.

The 29 knights obeyed the order, raised their shields, put their muskets on the side of their horses, pulled their 'partners' from the ground, and marched into the valley together.

Prior to this, Zhong Ye had already run deeper with a bloody knife in his hand.

The knights manipulated their horses to pass the rejecting horses one after another. At this time, the soldiers rushed to push each other.

Seeing that they had gone far away, he didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried to keep up.
