Chapter 583: Bloody Battle 3
In the process of the rebels gradually moving forward, Mu Youchen's side and Xu Feng's side are under extremely huge pressure, Mu Youchen's side is the most nervous than the previous deserters, they are now guilty of crimes, if this battle is defeated again, they will never come out.
The second is the cultivators who came to the southern border to fight with Mu Youchen and Xuan Jiayin from the capital, they are actually more impatient, according to their previous temper, they have already rushed out directly to fight the enemy, where is it still used to hide here and prepare for a sneak attack.
The most calm nature is the ghost people, these ghost people have inherited the will of Yue Ying, everyone has been trained on the right track, and they live in the Changyang Ancient Road all the year round, so that they and the environment here are extremely harmonious, even if they are hidden in it, no one can detect the slightest movement.
On the rebel side, Xu Feng used the cover of the mountain people to advance slowly, although this method is a bit cruel, but now is the time of war, if you don't take into account the casualties of the soldiers, once an accident occurs, such as a sneak attack...... If the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, they will not have the capital to continue fighting.
This is the same as the principle that during siege warfare, the common people are generally allowed to walk in front.
It's just that after gradually going deeper into the Changyang Ancient Road, Xu Feng's keen perception also sensed that something was wrong, in the end, he was the most potential young general under Xun Wenlong, and his perception of danger was beyond ordinary people.
"Order the army, stop advancing!"
Xu Feng gave the order, the army slowly stopped, and the hearts of the mountaineers who were forced in front of them were suddenly happy.
"General, what's going on?"
A centurion beside Xu Feng couldn't help but ask, stopping inexplicably, could it be that something happened?
"If there is danger, we will withdraw one after another, and then send people to inspect the Changyang Ancient Road, and then continue to move forward after confirming that there is no danger."
Xu Feng said firmly, he was very confident in his perception, there must be some dangerous creatures in the Changyang Ancient Road, they must be determined first.
"Whoa."
The centurion did not have the slightest doubt about Xu Feng's order, in fact, for many years, Xu Feng led the army to fight, basically based on running, and long-distance running battles often had to cross the cities and territories of both sides, go deep into the enemy's rear, and then suddenly attack.
And in such a situation, Xu Feng's perception of danger is unusually strong and accurate. It can be seen that there is probably some danger hidden in this dense forest.
The order was conveyed again, and the rebels who had already entered the encirclement began to retreat slowly, and they were very cautious in the process of retreating, Mu Youchen even saw many rebels walking to both sides of the ancient road with shields in hand, obviously guarding against something?
Was it discovered?
Mu Youchen's face turned cold all of a sudden, if the enemy is allowed to leave now, after they completely withdraw from the Changyang Ancient Road, they will definitely send people to investigate the situation, Mu Youchen has thousands of soldiers under him, and he will not be able to hide at all at that time, that is to say, an ambush battle is likely to evolve into a frontal battle, which is not a good thing for Mu Youchen.
"What to do? They're out of the ambush. ”
Xuan Jiayin nervously asked, if this opportunity was missed, they would never have a chance to ambush the rebels again.
"What else can I do? Kill! ”
Mu Youchen said coldly, as soon as she gave the order, Mu Yaqing beside her suddenly got up, the longbow in his hand was drawn like a full moon, and the long arrow roared out, hitting a mountain man who was retreating from the queen of Cang, knocking it over directly.
Mu Yaqing's arrow was a signal, and after Mu Yaqing made a move, the ghost clansmen who had been hidden for a long time got up and shot, and the arrow feathers rushed towards the rebels overwhelmingly, the first to bear the brunt were those mountain people, they were defenseless, and they were immediately shot down in a large area, and many people fell to the ground and screamed in horror.
But the ghost people had no intention of stopping, and in the midst of the enemy's screams, the ghost people's attacks became more violent.
"Shield!"
Xu Feng shouted, and the sergeants in the back row hurriedly raised their shields and rushed to the front, the shields in their hands were all wooden round shields, which were very small shields, suitable for small-scale operations, especially one-on-one battles, this kind of small round shields were both light and strong.
Xu Feng is because of its lightness, so that some soldiers will carry, although the defensive effect is not as good as other shields, but let the soldiers under him have great mobility, and increase the defense.
The shield soldiers went up, relieving the oppression of the bow and arrow of the ghost people, and some of the mountain people who escaped from death retreated in a hurry, Xu Feng's purpose of using them had been achieved, and the next thing was his battle.
As he spoke, Xu Feng had already given several orders one after another, and the archers began to shoot back, although the lethality of the strong crossbow was affected by the bushes, it still had a very good effect, and the screams from time to time in the forest made Xu Feng feel that he could only attack the enemy, and his soldiers would not feel that this battle was unwinnable.
Then let his generals lead the soldiers into the bushes to fight, and Xu Feng was ordered to capture Mu Youchen alive and kill Xuan Jiayin.
Originally, he wanted to try to set fire to this place, but thinking of the absoluteness of the order, he had no choice but to send soldiers to fight in close combat, and at the same time, he also sent out some strong crossbowmen and spirit cultivators in the army to keep an eye on the enemy's spirit king masters.
When Xu Feng commanded the operation, Mu Youchen also issued a combat order. Suddenly encountered an ambush, but the rebels did not panic in the slightest, their will to fight can be seen, this is an absolutely elite army, if you want to defeat them, you must let them see what death is.
The order given by Mu Youchen was to use the powerful characteristics of the individual cultivators to conduct guerrilla warfare in the grass, and divide the thousands of cultivators into dozens of squads, each with about thirty people, and then throw them into the bushes, so that the soldiers who were thrown into the bushes by the enemy had to choose to fight separately, after all, the area of the bushes on both sides of the ancient road was still very large.
At the same time, Mu Youchen handed over the command of the third battalion of the first regiment to Xuan Jiayin, and instructed Xuan Jiayin that the people of the third battalion could command at will, even if there were heavy casualties.
Mu Youchen himself put the golden mask he carried on his face, and then walked out of the bushes under everyone's surprised gaze, standing on the deserted but wide Changyang Ancient Road, looking at the enemy with cold eyes hidden under the golden mask, and the breath of death dancing on the long sword in his hand.
And after the ghost clan found out about Mu Youchen's actions, they also stopped their bow and arrow attacks and walked out of the bushes one after another......
