(Thanks to Crow Claws Book Friends for becoming the leader. It is a must to have more updates. My heart is warm, I am grateful, but I am under great pressure. I am worried that I will not be able to tell the story well and let down all the readers.)
Huang Yi guessed that the purpose of the two cavalrymen following Hedan Battle was to find where Hedan Battle was going.
It is not known whether it was Hedan Bater's home or Huang Yi's military camp.
The two cavalrymen just dismounted and walked, not covering up. Presumably they thought they had given up a safe distance, and it was getting dark, so the people being followed would definitely not be seen.
They couldn't have imagined that Huang Yi actually had a telescope, and they couldn't have imagined that even at night, as long as there was a dim light, Huang Yi's ten-fold telescope with night vision function could distinguish the cavalry ten miles away.
"Huang Yi, Huang Yi..."
Hedanbaat'er's voice interrupted Huang Yi's thinking.
"This kid is not stupid. The pronunciation of these two words is very standard." Huang Yi promised while sliding down the grass slope: "Coming, coming!"
He had to tell Hedanbaat'er about the fact that he was being followed by two cavalrymen. Unfortunately, Huang Yi kept gesticulating for a while, and Hedanbaat'er looked confused.
well! It seems that we must use the ultimate trick of "looking at the picture to speak".
Huang Yi picked up a few small stones. He raised one and pointed at himself and said three words: "I, Huang Yi."
Then he took out another piece and pointed at Hedanbaat'er and said: "You, Hedanbaatar."
Next, he held the two stones and moved forward to show that they were moving forward. When holding the two stones representing the tracking cavalry, Huang Yi also performed a hide-and-seek action.
Hedanbaat'er, who was watching with a smile, immediately opened his eyes wide, pointed in the direction indicated by Huang Yi and said a lot, with an eager look on his face.
Huang Yi still didn't understand. He raised two fingers and pointed at Hedanbaatar, and then raised three fingers at Hedanbaatar's horse, which meant "two cavalry and three horses!".
Hedanbaatar understood it, and immediately ran up the hillside and hid in the grass to observe.
Huang Yi came to him and pointed in the direction even though he knew he couldn't see.
Hedanbaat'er stared at the place pointed by Huang Yi with wide eyes, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.
Huang Yi pointed to the sky, meaning it was dark so he couldn't see.
Hedanbaatar understood and nodded repeatedly.
Not being able to communicate was so irritating. If there was no language barrier between the two, Huang Yi could even work out a way to ambush and set up a trap to capture the two cavalrymen who were following them alive.
What to do now?
Huang Yi didn't need to use his brain, Hedan Battelle had already made a decision, because Huang Yi found that Hedan Battelle was checking the equipment.
"Which side are you going to go to now?" Huang Yi asked, pointing in the direction where the tracking cavalry appeared.
Hedanbaatar understood, picked up the Mongolian scimitar and made a motion of wiping his neck and muttered a few words with a serious look on his face.
He is ready to kill someone when he knows someone is following him. Hedanbaatar is also a ruthless person!
Huang Yi didn't say anything because he didn't know what to say, let alone why Hedanbaatar wanted to kill someone immediately.
Hedanbaatar came back after taking a few steps. He pointed to the southwest and said something. He also pretended to be dead with his body language and drew a straight line on the ground.
Huang Yi understood that Hedanbaat'er told him that if he died, Huang Yi should keep fleeing to the southeast.
In fact, Huang Yi understood it wrong. What Hedanbaatar wanted to say was to ask Huang Yi to go straight to the southwest and he would definitely meet his tribe.
Please Huang Yi tell his family and tribe that he died in the battle and the tribe's position has been exposed. Everyone should run for their lives!
Huang Yi is not someone who follows what others say. He has always liked to make his own decisions since he was a child.
He thought to himself: Why should I run away? I didn't cause any trouble.
Besides, on the prairie, is it possible for two legs to outrun four legs?
The only way was to hide for a few days and wait until the following cavalry had gone far away before coming out.
As for how to hide it, Huang Yi had already thought about it. He dug holes in the cat's ears and used dry grass to camouflage them. The chance of being discovered would not exceed 1 in 10.
If you are really discovered, you have a crossbow and an ordnance shovel. In a positional battle, the advantage of cavalry is not as good as that of infantry. Even if the opponent has two people, they may not be able to kill you.
Anyway, you can't run away when you encounter cavalry. If they charge at you on horseback, you can be hit or trampled to death without fighting.
If you aim and shoot through the hide-and-seek ear holes, it is very likely that when the cavalry finds its hiding place, it will be able to hit the opponent's head with a crossbow arrow.
Forehead! A headshot from a crossbow? Isn't it murder?
It's best not to kill anyone, just shoot a crossbow arrow in his thigh to make him lose his aggressiveness. Otherwise, it would be over-defense and it would be considered manslaughter.
Huang Yi did a few stretching movements and danced the engineer shovel with a total length of 1.2 meters, feeling very energetic.
"Hey! My strength is indeed much stronger than before. Is this a benefit for time travellers?"
To test it, he tried to move a rock.
The size of this stone looks similar to that of a small or medium-sized stone ball barricade. Huang Yi tried to move the stone ball barricade before, but it didn't move at all.
This time it was different. Huang Yi not only moved the stone, but also raised it high and threw it away.
"Hahaha, am I possessed by the Overlord of Western Chu? Can I also lift a cauldron?"
Huang Yi was waiting alone. Feeling bored, Huang Yi laughed and added: "I am so powerful that I am so powerful, but the times are not good..."
Then quickly shut up and call out bad luck.
He was still thinking wildly.
"It seems that in this era there are no cannons, machine guns, or pistols. If you have strength, you can take advantage. Hahaha, who should I be afraid of if I have strength?
I also have modern equipment that can cover my whole body. If the enemy can't kill me, wouldn't it be a wasted beating? "
"By the way, let's try the crossbow again."
The reason why crossbow arrows are more lethal than bow arrows is because they are shot with greater force.
Crossbows are actually ancient weapons that have been widely used since the Qin Empire. At that time, the Qin army had to use pedals and hands to wind the crossbows, which was very laborious.
It is said that the overlord of Western Chu, who could lift mountains, did not need to use both hands and feet to wind the crossbow, and his speed was unmatched by anyone.
The principle of Huang Yi's military crossbow is the same, but the difference is that it is equipped with a pulley block, which saves half the effort in winding it.
Even so, it's not easy to wind.
At the very least, Huang Yi's wife is not strong enough to hold the crossbow and string it up. She can only complete it by stepping on the bracket with her feet and using both hands to lift the crossbow string.
Huang Yi, who had already noticed that his strength had doubled, immediately pulled the string and loaded the crossbow, then pulled the string, and then pulled again...
After winding the string more than a dozen times, Huang Yi, who still felt relaxed and comfortable, laughed and sang:
"Hahaha..., pull a girl to pull, pull a girl to pull you no longer afraid..."
You must know that although Huang Yi did not use the foot pedal to string the crossbow in the past, he would become weak after stringing the crossbow several times in a row. He had never tried to string the crossbow more than ten times in a row.
"I can finish stringing a crossbow just as slowly as bending a bow and nocking an arrow. Who can beat me in the era of cold weapons?"
