On the night of the fifth day of the lunar month, the moon could not bring light to the night, and the stars in the sky did not seem to provide any help.
Under the cover of darkness, the barking of the dogs gradually faded away.
The shouts of the people echoed in the mountains and then slowly dissipated.
"Ha Cigga, Ha Cigga." Someone in the Khitan camp called out together. This was the name of the last person to fall.
The camp clearly needed more information from him, but there was no response for a long time.
More people came out with torches, bows, and crossbows. There were more bows than crossbows.
"Aiya, I thought you guys would continue to send small groups out. Why are there so many of you? No, the situation is tense. Retreat!"
Li Yi was worried. The enemy was too cunning. He could not launch a sneak attack and had to retreat.
The soldiers in front of the Winged Knights turned and ran. They could not wait for the enemy to get close.
Twenty people were dragged away, leaving all kinds of traces on the snow.
After a while, the Khitans arrived.
Seeing the messy footsteps and the situation on the snow, they seemed to understand a lot.
They were ambushed. Thirty of their men were ambushed. Thirty of their precious crossbows were gone.
"There's no blood." A small leader observed and felt his hair stand on end.
Ten people were ambushed, and there were no traces of battle.
Twenty people were on alert, but they were still ambushed. Only one person shouted, "There's a needle stabbing me."
There was not a drop of blood in the entire area.
If not for the footprints on the ground, he would have thought that his brothers had encountered something unclean.
He could not understand. Twenty people were ambushed. Under what circumstances did they not bleed or shout to kill?
Were the hunters of the Tang dynasty so powerful? Killing without a sound?
"More than a hundred people. They followed the traces and chased here. Continue to lure them further away. Scatter the dogs to other positions. Bark."
Li Yi did not want to face more than a hundred people. He arranged a strategy at the last minute.
Other than the Winged Knights who surrounded the valley in other places, the other Winged Knights carried the thirty "captives" and ran.
Their footprints were the most obvious. Most of the hundred people chased after these footprints.
Five people chased after the dogs. The dogs only had footprints of one person and one dog. Five people were enough to deal with them.
"I'm going to help Hu Feng. You guys go first. I'll be back in a while. If it's really impossible, I'll kill them. They don't have many crossbows, but their bows are very accurate."
Li Yi was worried that his men would be injured or killed, so he asked them to be vigilant.
"Do you have my permission?" Guo Ziyi was unconvinced.
The Winged Knights were actually similar to the Khitans and Turks in that they specialized in horsemanship and crossbows.
Moreover, the enemy had lit a torch and was definitely a target.
Li Yi ignored them and ordered his men to put down his aircraft. He stood on it and started it.
With a sharp whistling sound, he flew out with a whoosh to chase after the five people.
The five people holding three torches and the other Khitans could hear the sound of the jet, but they were unable to pinpoint its location.
Li Yi flew far away, and soon, the sound of the airflow disappeared. He landed, found a place to lie down, and covered himself with the cloak.
About three minutes later, five people followed the footprints of a man and a dog.
They passed by Li Yi. When their backs were facing Li Yi, Li Yi fired.
"Ah, I've been hit. What's this? There's a needle."
The first person who was hit reacted quickly. He reached behind him and took out the tranquilizer bullet.
The team stopped and went forward to look.
"Uh! I've been hit too. "Another person was shot.
"What direction? Behind? Yes! It should be there. "
The third person was shot when he asked the first two people.
However, there was no one there. When the fourth person was shot in the stomach, he had an idea. "Lie down in the snow. Look for snow."
The fifth person was shot and killed.
Li Yi lay down and waited. The five people held torches and searched vigilantly.
Plop. The first person to fall was numb.
"It's poisonous," the second person said in a daze.
"Got it." The third person casually fired the arrow before he fell.
The remaining two looked at each other and shouted together, "It's poisonous. That …"
Before the two finished shouting, they fell together. Their physiques were different, so it was not necessarily the case that they were shot first.
"It's considered poison." Li Yi stood up.
He walked over, took out a small knife, and cut the strings of four bows and one crossbow. He tied the hands and feet of the five people and tied them diagonally.
The five people were numb. He had to leave for a while and bring more people back later. They would not freeze to death.
Guo Ziyi was on the side. As the team ran, a few people would split up and go to the side.
Footprints were left on the snow. The Khitans did not split up at all. The leader shouted, "Don't split up. You'll be ambushed."
The Khitans listened to him and continued to move forward. After running for dozens of steps, there were footprints of a few people splitting up to the left and right.
They continued to chase, chase, chase, chase. Finally, they stopped.
The leader was sweating. Besides the heat from running, he was also scared.
The footsteps in front were still so messy. By now, 200 people should have split up.
The number of the enemy's main force was still the same. This meant that the enemy's numbers far exceeded his team.
When he thought about the positions of the people who had split up, the leader had an epiphany. He was surrounded.
"Not good. Go back and prepare to break out." The leader quickly ordered.
Poof. The torch in one of the Khitans' hands suddenly fell to the ground. There was an arrow stuck in the torch.
Poof. Another person's torch scattered into sparks. He was still holding it.
However, there was a hole where the torch was loosened. An arrow was nailed to the trunk of a nearby tree.
"Put down your weapons. Those who surrender will not be killed. I know you can understand the language of the Tang dynasty. Put down your weapons …"
Guo Ziyi shouted. After shouting, he immediately lay down.
Sure enough, someone shot a crossbow at him.
"Put down your weapons. Those who surrender will not be killed." More people shouted.
Screech ~ ~ A sharp whistle was mixed in with the shouts of the Winged Knights.
Something suddenly flew over the Khitans. Two things fell at the same time.
The two items fell to the ground with a 'bang' sound, followed by a 'chi chi chi' sound of smoke curling up.
"My eyes hurt." "Ah, cough, cough!"
The smoke spread. All the Khitans who were affected by the smoke started to cry, have runny noses, cough, and have difficulty breathing.
Whoosh ~ ~ Li Yi landed. He heaved a sigh of relief.
He muttered, "If it wasn't to capture you alive, would I have to use Dimensional Reduction? It's too easy for a thousand Winged Knights to take care of you. I don't even need to shoot with my sniper rifle. "
The surrounded Khitans who had gathered together and were ready to fight their way out encountered tear gas for the first time.
They weren't prepared at all and didn't know how to deal with it.
The more they couldn't breathe, the more they gasped. They threw away their weapons and couldn't hold their torches. They ran like headless flies.
After running out of the smoke, they threw themselves on the ground and stuffed snow into their mouths and smeared it on their faces.
This was a normal reaction for people who felt pain in their eyes and throats. It didn't need to be taught.
"Hurry up and drag the people inside out." Li Yi was afraid that someone would die from inhaling too much smoke.
The Winged Knights didn't hesitate. They took a deep breath and rushed in. Soon, they understood how uncomfortable the enemy was.
They couldn't control their tears at all. It was killing.
They grabbed people and dragged them out. After dragging them out, they started to look for snow to smear their faces.
"There are five more over there. Hurry up and find them. Otherwise, they will freeze to death." Li Yi continued to give orders. Twenty Winged Knights ran out.
The Khitans had completely lost their ability to resist. When Guo Ziyi ordered people to tie them up, he curiously moved closer to the smoke.
