Chapter 697: Attacked
The officers and cavalry stormed the time of a meal, but they failed to break through the "Qingyun jianzhen", and after dozens of people fell, the soldiers began to cower, and the thousands of generals and officers under the slope shouted desperately, but it did not have much effect.
Eventually, the bandits began to retreat one after another, first the catapults were dragged into the woods, then the thieves with muskets also fled into the forest, and Zuihou walked the sword-wielding guys in Tsing Yi. These people were extremely fast, and they had obviously practiced light exercises, and they retreated with a roar, and disappeared behind the dense trees in a few leaps.
The officers and soldiers of the brigade finally attacked the hillside, but the thousand commander-in-chief officers and generals at the bottom of the slope wanted to cry without tears. He knew very well that the thieves had fled not because they could not resist the enemy, but because they had achieved their goal. Just when the two sides were fighting, the more than ten catapults had already thrown hundreds of canisters of fire and oil, and the general had already turned into a sea of fire behind him, and the fifty caravans carrying grain and grass were all on fire.
Soon after, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly led his army back, and saw a group of wounded men and horses in the center of the valley, as well as a cart that had turned to ashes and was still smoking, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder.
"Search the mountains, search the mountains for me, and find out the thieves!" he hissed.
The group of thieves has already fled, and there will be no gain from searching the mountains at this time, Zuo Liangyu also knows it, but after suffering such a big loss, the grain and grass have been burned to the ground, and there is no other way except to search the mountains to vent his anger.
When Zuo Liangyu was angry and yelled, Hua Bushi and Yang Sichang and his party were already fifteen miles away.
This is the back mountain of Daimei Mountain, the mountain is high and densely forested, and there is only one dirt path for passing. All five of them rode through the mountain paths, occasionally trying to block the branches of the trees sticking out from the side.
"The forest in front is it, it seems that Liu Yuanhe and they have arrived!" said Meng Huan, who was galloping at the front.
"Liu Yuanhe led Zuo Liangyu's people to come over in a circle, and they should be faster than us. Chu Yiyi said, "The Thunderbolt Camp and Qingyunwei have to drag those catapults, I'm afraid they have to be slower." ”
When setting up the plan to burn the grain truck, Hua Bushi made an appointment with everyone, and after the deed was completed, all the horses and horses gathered in the woods behind Daimei Mountain. This place is located in the mountains, very hidden, fifteen miles away from the Broken Dragon Canyon, even if Zuo Liangyu searches the mountains wantonly, he can't search here for a while, and it should be very safe.
After entering the woods, I saw that more than 200 Baidao heroes had arrived, including Liu Yuanhe and Yuan Xi. Seeing Hua Bushi and his entourage entering the forest, everyone saluted.
In one fell swoop, all of Zuo Liangyu's army grain trucks were burned, and all the manpower and disciples of all the sects were not damaged at all, and this battle can be regarded as a beautiful battle. All the Baidao heroes were elated and very happy, and in the crowd, only Liu Yuanhe had a calm face, probably still a little worried about dressing up as "Chu Short Stage".
Ji Xiong, the head of the "Barberry Faction", stepped forward, clenched his fists and said, "Young Master Hua has worked hard!"
Previously, everyone acted according to the plan, only Hua Bushi and these people had been watching the battle situation on the top of the mountain, which could be said to be very leisurely, seeing that Ji Xiong was so polite, Hua Bushi hurriedly replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, Ji Zhangmen is hard." ”
Ji Xiong waved his hand and said: "The complete victory in this battle is all due to the strategy of Young Master Hua and Mr. Yang, we people are just running errands, where do we dare to say what hard work!"
He laughed a few times, and said: "But I see that Zuo Liangyu has a lot of people and horses, although they have lost grain and grass, they may not necessarily withdraw their troops, it is better for us to stay in this mountain and watch for a few days, and only go back when we can confirm that they have withdrawn their troops and left, if they don't withdraw, we will try to intercept them, what does Young Master Hua think?"
This Ji Xiong was so careful and cared about whether Zuo Liangyu would withdraw, which made Dehua Bushi slightly stunned, but as soon as his thoughts turned, the eldest young master had already understood Ji Xiong's calculations.
The grain and grass were burned out, Zuo Liangyu could not be supplied nearby, and the 2,000 cavalrymen ate horses and fed a lot of consumption, so they had to withdraw their troops, so there was no need to stay and watch. However, if these Baidao heroes go back to join Fang Changsheng Wuchen and the others now, I am afraid that they will have to participate in the battle against Fugui Villa, and if they can find an excuse to delay for a few days, they will be able to miss the big battle, no matter who wins or loses, everyone can go home safely anyway.
As soon as Ji Xiong's words came out, Shan En, the head of the "Yaxingmen" next to him, and Xu Chundao, the master of the "Fubo Guan", all spoke in unison, saying that Ji Zhangmen was thoughtful and must do the matter of intercepting Zuo Liangyu safely, and it should be so. It seems that this idea, these few of them have already discussed haode.
With the strength of the men led by Fang Changsheng and Wuchen, if nothing else, it would be no problem to attack Fugui Villa, and even if a group of rabble from these small sects joined, it might not be able to make much difference.
Of course, Hua Bushi understood this section, and was about to say yes, but suddenly remembered something, and his heart froze, and asked, "After you arrived in this forest, have you set up a sentry?"
Ji Xiong was stunned and said, "Yes, as soon as we arrived here, we sent more than ten disciples to guard the woods on all sides. ”
Hearing this, not only Hua Bushi, but also Ximen Tong, Chu Yiyi and the others' faces had changed. Chu Yiyi said: "Then why didn't we meet a sentry when we entered the forest from outside just now?"
Since the guards have been set up but they have not been encountered, the only possibility is that all the guards have been taken down!
At this moment, only a sharp sound of breaking the sky was heard from all sides, and several Bai Dao disciples in the forest screamed miserably, and they had been shot by hidden weapons. And outside the woods, there were a large number of enemies rushing in!
There was an enemy attack!
The guards outside the forest had already been removed, and the attack came without warning, and the woods were suddenly in chaos.
But seeing the cold light flashing, blood splashing, shouting and screaming and the sound of gold and iron intersecting in one place, Bai Dao Qunhao was hacked and killed more than ten people before he could fully react, and many people were injured and fell to the ground, suffering heavy losses!
The attackers, all dressed in dark gray shirts and strong suits, with gray scarves tied on their foreheads, each armed with swords and axes, numbered no less than a hundred, rushed into the forest, like wolves into a flock of sheep!
In the chaos, Hua Bushi was escorted by Ximen Tong, Chu Yiyi and Meng Huan and retreated to a big tree, and Yang Sichang, who also did not know martial arts, also followed closely by the side of the eldest young master. There were three guards in front of him, and his back against the big tree would not be attacked on his back, and he could be considered safe for a while, although the attack came so suddenly, but the faces of the two people were calm, and they did not show a panicked look.
This crusade against the "Rich Alliance" Alliance, there are two hidden dangers, one is the military and military horses, and the other is the demon road liliang hidden in the shadows.
Although the strategy of setting up an ambush in Broken Dragon Gorge and burning Zuo Liangyu's grain and grass to force him to retreat was ingenious and very smoothly, as everyone knows, the praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and their group also fell into the ambush of others!
Hua Bushi realized his negligence in an instant. He previously thought that the main masters of the "Luohan Gate" and the "Shaolin Sect" were about to attack Fugui Villa, and the other party should shrink Liliang and set up a guard to prevent them from drawing out manpower to deal with them, but he did not expect that their group would be fortunate enough to become the primary target of the other party's attack.
And the Liliang of the "Rich Alliance" located in the bright place is under the watchful eye of the party, and this large group of raiders with strong martial arts suddenly appeared, which is undoubtedly the second hidden danger that exists in the shadows, the sect members of the Demon Dao Pure Land Sect!
Among these accompanying Jianghu sects, there must be guests from the "Rich Alliance", their every move has long been mastered by the enemy, and the ambush in this forest is of course very accurate. And the timing of the other party's attack was also just right, just when Hua Bushi and his party had just entered the woods, and Qingyunwei and the Thunderbolt Camp had not yet arrived.
As long as Hua Bushi can be captured or killed, no matter how strong the remnants of the "Evil Dog Gate" are, they will not be able to become a climate.
The only chance now is to support until Li Hu leads Qingyunwei and the Thunderbolt Camp to arrive, and there may be a glimmer of chance.
Hua Bushi looked around, and soon saw the situation of the battle between the two sides in the forest, and the entire battle situation had become a one-sided situation, just in the middle of a few breaths, Bai Dao Qunhao was either killed or injured, and a large number of them had fallen, and they were almost powerless to fight back.
Many of these Baidao heroes are the heads or principals of various factions in the Yu Realm, and they all have martial arts, so they are not so vulnerable, and the reason why they suffered heavy casualties and was suddenly attacked is one of the reasons, and the most important thing is that these people only think about running for their lives, so that they have no fighting spirit and become a mess.
Compared with the chaos and fighting of the white road heroes, the attacks of those gray-shirted people are very orderly.
In addition to the dozens of people who rushed forward to fight, there were also many people in the rear who specialized in plotting, including steel darts, flying knives, iron lotus seeds, flying locust stones and other hidden weapons used by people in the rivers and lakes, as well as strong bows and crossbows. Many White Dao masters rushed past the interception of the Demon Dao Sect in front of them, trying to escape from the woods, but they all fell under these hidden weapons.
Even the dozens of gray-shirted people who rushed to kill in front of them were three or five people in a group to fight together, these attackers were not only ruthless, but also very skilled in attacking and defending with each other, and all of them were not weak in martial arts, they were the masters of some sects in the Baidao group of heroes, and it was difficult to deal with the attack of three or five gray-shirted people alone.
If the melee continues like this, let alone want to support Qingyunwei and the Thunderbolt Battalion, I am afraid that after a while, the hundreds of Baidao heroes in the woods will be wiped out!
Hua Bushi immediately said: "Ah Tong, tell everyone not to rush out of the forest indiscriminately, and gather under this big tree!"
Ximen Tong nodded, and shouted: "This forest is also surrounded, and there is only one way to die when everyone rushes around!
