Chapter 186: Ambush on all sides
There was a carriage parked outside the main tent of the Dugu camp, and the carriage was not tied anywhere, but the strange thing was that the horse was able to stay idle and stay outside the tent obediently, and he didn't even yawn.
There were two strangers sitting in the camp, and although these two strangers had never been to the camp, none of the generals dared to sit down after these two people sat in the camp.
Lin Ji smiled bitterly and was not difficult for them, so he simply stood up himself, waved his hand and asked Chen Chong to come out and answer: "Duguxia can still be guarded for a few days." ”
"If Gu Tang doesn't have reinforcements, there will be no problem for half a month. Chen Chong thought for a moment.
"Okay, if you stick to the half moon of Dugu Gorge, this battle for the defense of Canghai City will be your first achievement. Lin Ji's hands were tightly squeezed together behind his back, a little hard, but his tone was also unusually affirmative.
"Swear to live and die with the camp. ”
"Alas, I didn't say that you should live and die with the battalion, you just need to hold them back and give me some time to defeat the reckless soldiers. Your life is worth a lot in my heart, and it's not good to die. Lin Ji patted Chen Chong's shoulder, and then sighed slightly.
"The reckless people are menacing, and I don't know what the son of the world plans. Chen Chong bowed his hand to Lin Ji and whispered.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will come to the earth. What else can I do. Using soldiers is not as good as cultivating, and besides, my cultivation level is not very good. Lin Ji pointed to Canghai City in the distance, "That is our last battlefield, don't retreat to Canghai City as a last resort, in Linshuanggou, I arranged for someone to set up your second line of defense, and immediately after the loss of Duguxia, he led people to retreat to Linshuanggou." Don't do senseless fighting, for Lin Jiajun, every life is incomparably expensive. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand. Chen Chong's body twitched and nodded heavily.
"General Chen. Lin Ji's tone suddenly became desolate. There seemed to be a hint of hesitation in the voice.
"You see, the whole world seems to be at odds with us right now. But I don't know what we're doing wrong. ”
Chen Chong knew that Lin Ji's words were not finished, so he did not answer.
"Shouldn't murder pay for life? ”
"Son, we are not wrong, but the world is wrong. Chen Chong said affirmatively.
"Yes, how could we be wrong. Lin Ji slowly straightened his waist, regained his usual calm and composure, and then turned over and got into the carriage.
The carriage rolled and gradually disappeared from Chen Chong's sight with a creaking sound.
Bi Tianqing galloped past with the team, rushing towards the pre-planned meeting point.
The pursuers behind him were long gone, but for some reason, a tense and oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire team, all of whom were from the border battalion, and most of them were wounded, but this was not the main reason for the atmosphere between them.
The border camp that had lived for many years was reduced to ruins overnight, and hundreds of kilometers of land were to be occupied by the reckless people, and they had an indescribable unwillingness.
When there were still more than thirty miles to go to the agreed meeting point, the party began to camp and rest in the twilight, and walked through the dense forest in the middle of the night, which was a very risky act from any angle, because even the blue sky was not sure if there would be an enemy here suddenly.
The tired border guards, coupled with the fatigue of running around, still made Bi Tianqing give the order to rest on the spot.
Everyone stopped, supported each other in the middle of the night, surrounded the horses, and then began to doze off in the simple camp of horses.
The five scouts ran very skillfully in different directions of the camp, lurking quietly, forming the first line of defense of the camp.
As soon as everyone settled down, Bi Kongqing's right eye couldn't help but beat a few times, Suddenly, his ears trembled slightly, and the tiredness that had just appeared on his cheeks immediately disappeared, turning into a solemnity that had not been seen all the way, and then he drew his sword and chest, and walked out of the camp.
The camp was outside the crossing, unsheltered by dense forests, bathed in moonlight, extremely bright, but at the moment it seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood red.
There was a wind through the forest just in early autumn, whistling and whispering, as if there was a ghost crying, Bi Tianqing frowned and looked at the depths of the dense forest, listening carefully to the details of those whines, and suddenly roared loudly: "Enemy attack!"
The murmur in the whispering of the forest wind finally revealed the truth, and a feathered arrow struck from the forest like lightning, whining and screaming, shooting at the scout who was lurking not too far from the camp!
Poof, a muffled sound!
Like a sharp metal spike stabbing into dozens of stacks of wet paper, the feathered arrow shot into the scout's chest, and the bearded but still young scout collapsed on his bleeding chest.
At the moment when Bi Kongqing shouted out the enemy attack, the well-trained Lin Jiajun reacted quickly. They all spread out and rushed around the horses.
And the blue sky was indeed the first to go in the direction of the scouts.
But after all, the arrow was much faster than a human, and when the scout hit the ground, Bi Tianqing finally gasped and stopped.
"Take care to dodge. ”
Lin Jiajun's angry and shocked roar sounded quickly.
Countless arrows were thrown out from the depths of the dense forest like a torrential rain, swishing, and the sound of the whistling wind disappeared in an instant, which was particularly terrifying.
Bi Tianqing, who was still some distance away from the horse formation, fell to the ground for the first time, and fell heavily in the woodland, because there were many fallen leaves on the ground, he didn't feel much pain, his face was against the slightly cool leaves, listening to the dense sound of arrows breaking through the air in front of him, listening to the occasional arrow passing over his head, silently counting the number of archers and the number of arrows used by the opponent.
The Lin family soldiers shouted angrily and anxiously, and shouted and ordered to arm.
Duh!
The feather arrows pierced into the horse's body, making a dull crashing sound like a war drum, but it was denser and more terrifying than the craziest war drums, and the horses that were injured and fell to the ground from time to time let out a few roars, and then there was no sound, and those horses that were unfortunately hit by the arrow but did not die immediately were indeed the most painful existence, they were not as fierce and strong as Lin Jiajun, and they fell to the ground and rolled in pain.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air, the muffled snorts of people, the mournful screams of horses, all kinds of sounds mixed together, turning the camp that was still shrouded in moonlight into a Shura hell.
Shout!
A feather arrow shot fiercely into the mud less than half a foot in front of Bi Kongqing, and the splashed earth and gravel hit his face, instantly showing red marks, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, quietly prostrate on the ground, his eyes penetrated the gap between the leaves, crossed the arrow shaft, and looked at the mountain road in the distance.
The screams behind him pierced his heart, but at this time he was unusually calm.
This wave of sneak attack is obviously not Cao Xiping's pursuer, Cao Xiping's vanguard army has been frightened by the blue sky, and this enemy army may have been in ambush for a long time at this time.
Bi Tianqing vaguely saw that there were already many dense figures in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, and by calculating the density of arrows before and seeing as far as he could see at this time, he roughly judged that the number of enemies on this side was about three hundred.
If there were still enemy troops behind them, I am afraid that the enemy army, which numbered nearly 1,000 people, had been in ambush for a long time.
When did they come in, how did they get in, and how many people came in, this was indeed the first question that appeared in Bi Tianqing's mind.
The enemies in the dense forest on both sides had already poured out, and the soldiers in reckless uniforms were not masked, wielding steel knives in their hands, and rushed forward at high speed like wolves, since they did not hide their identities, then it was obvious that one side would be slaughtered completely. Or rather, they believe that their opponents will be slaughtered.
Without the stream of arrows, Bi Tianqing quickly got up from the ground and ran towards the camp, and the next moment the camp had already sounded a fierce sound of blade collision, and someone on both sides fell from time to time in the muffled roar, the tip of the knife stabbed into the chest and abdomen, the blade cut the throat, and blood sprayed out from the men's bodies, drenching the already wet red fallen leaves.
The battle entered the most tragic stage at the beginning, but no one retreated, no one turned and fled, and the competition was not only martial arts and killing skills, but also the strong fighting spirit that dared to shed blood.
The evenly matched numbers were due to the surprise attack of one side, and the border guards were caught off guard from the start.
"The blue sky is there, and everyone is quick to decide. With the order of the leader of the enemy army, the reckless troops suddenly exerted their strength again and swept away in the direction where Bi Kongqing was.
Obviously, the target of their operation this time was not the border guards, but the first fierce general of the Lin family's army, Bi Kongqing.
