Episode 182: Sleepy Tiger
A line of sloping valleys, a hidden path leading to Nanyang, Sun Jian led the army to attack Nanyang from this, burning the grain and grass of the Taiping army, but never thought that he was ambushed by the Taiping army.
"Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, I don't know if you like this meeting gift from Ben Shuai!" On one side of the cliff, Xiao Lan, who was covered in golden armor, stood proudly, looking down at the chaotic officers and soldiers below, and laughed loudly.
"Ben Shuai......... Are you Xiao Lan, the leader of the Taiping thieves?! Hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but be angry: "Aren't you in the Tiger Prison?" How did you end up here?! ”
"Haha, General Sun's news is really outdated, the Tiger Prison Pass has already been taken by Ben Shuai!" Xiao Lan laughed loudly: "As for why Ben Shuai is here, this is to blame General Sun, you have to sneak attack Nanyang on a remote road from now on, for the sake of the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Taiping Army, Ben Shuai has to come!" ”
"You ......" Sun Jian just wanted to scold, a cold arrow suddenly attacked, Sun Jian instinctively wanted to dodge, but there were people all around, crowded together, making it difficult for him to dodge at all.
"Poof!" The cold arrow was ruthless, although it did not hit the vital point of Sun Jian's body, but it also scratched a deep wound on his shoulder, and blood gushed for a while, so it was not hideous.
"Lord, go quickly." Seeing that Sun Jian was attacked, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang hurriedly surrounded him in the middle, and everyone gathered the surrounding soldiers and quickly rushed forward.
"Sun Jian'er, where to go!" At this moment, there was a loud shout in shock, and in front of the valley mouth, he saw a tall and ugly general holding a double halberd, leading the troops across the valley mouth.
"Damn, this is a time of life and death, if you don't enter, you will die, Jiangdong sons. Let them see how good you are. Sun Jian shouted, and between his words, he did not feel the slightest frustration or fear because of Zhongji's injury.
Most of the accompanying soldiers are Sun Jian's diehards. Hearing Sun Jian's shout, he immediately responded in unison: "Don't worry, general, we will definitely fight bravely to kill the thief, kill it!" ”
The officers and soldiers in the chaos seemed to have found the backbone, and suddenly it was like a surging tide. Rushed straight to Taniguchi with Sun Jian, after all, there was hope of escape.
Xiao Lan watched quietly, seeing that Sun Jian quickly gathered a lot of soldiers and soldiers to prepare to forcibly rush out of the valley, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, this Sun Nut is worthy of being a Jiangdong Tiger, and his military talent is extraordinary, far from being comparable to Yuan Shu and Bao Xin, but it is a pity that today's situation is like this. The gap between the two sides is really too huge, even if Sun Jian is capable, he will not easily regain the disadvantage.
"Prepare to release the arrows!" Between Xiao Lan's wave of his hand, on the cliffs on both sides, there were countless soldiers standing in a forest, opening their bows and releasing arrows.
In the face of such a dense rain of arrows, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were trapped in the narrow valley. Trampling on each other, you pushed and shoved, and it became a mess, and many soldiers were squeezed and fell to the ground by their own companions. But at this time of life and death, everyone was afraid that it was too late for them, how could they still pay attention to their companions, and the soldiers who fell to the ground were not only ignored, but also ruthlessly trampled over, trampled to death and injured. Countless, plus on the two cliffs, one after another shrouded the falling feather arrows, the casualties were even more heavy, and for a while, the valley was full of shouts and screams.
"Rolling stones!" After a few rounds of arrow rain, Xiao Lan gave the order again, and the Taiping troops on the cliffs on both sides pushed the rolling stones that had been prepared long ago and smashed them down.
"Boom ......." huge stones, rolling down from the cliff, with a rumbling sound, shaking the rocks, straight to the chaotic officers and soldiers below, even if they are wearing thick armor, but they can't stop the huge force of the boulder falling, and in the tragic howl of the ups and downs, the officers and soldiers have been killed and injured countless times.
"Oily grass!" After a rain of rolling stones, Xiao Lan gave the order again, but this time it was bales of hay, soaked in oil.
"It's not good, the Taiping thieves want to set fire!" Sun Jian, who was rushing forward in the crowd, saw the oil-soaked hay falling from the sky, and suddenly gave birth to a cold chill that penetrated his body.
"Soldiers, the thief army is going to set fire, speed up and rush out of the valley to survive!" Sun Jian hurriedly shouted loudly, his face full of panic!
The officers and soldiers who came to their senses hurriedly followed Sun Jian and rushed forward, but even if they were in a hurry, they didn't have much physical strength, and after being attacked by an ambush trap, how fast could they be? Before they could rush out, the rockets with tung oil suddenly covered the sky.
"Boom ....... ......." rockets rained down, falling on the dry grass soaked in oil, and after a while, sparks rose on the ground, blowing with the wind, the fire was raging, the smoke was billowing and floating, and under the smoke and fire, the people and horses under Sun Jian's command suddenly became more panicked like headless flies.
"It's on fire, go, go!" Seeing the miserable deaths and injuries of many soldiers under his command, Sun Jian's eyes widened, and he shouted endlessly, but unfortunately, the water and fire were ruthless, and there was already wind in the valley, and the fire was blowing more and more fiercely, spreading rapidly, and it was not at all that manpower could resist and bear.
There were countless casualties, and when Sun Jian led two or three thousand remnants of the defeated army to rush to the valley mouth, what awaited them was the last impregnable Heavenly Trench Xiongguan.
"Hah! Sun Jian'er, is this what you call Jiangdong Erlang? Looks like that's it! Today, I will let you see the power of the Taiping Army's warriors, brothers, kill me, no one will be left! With a loud shout, Dian Wei danced the double iron halberd, like a fierce bull monster, and took the lead in rushing over, a pair of iron halberds weighing eight hundred jun, the forest was cold and dazzling, the cold air was pressing, and it was whistling vertically and horizontally.
"Bang!" With a dull scream, an officer and soldier were smashed down by Dian Wei's iron halberd, and the flesh and blood were smashed on the spot, which was unbearable, and this blow really kicked off the prelude to a head-on battle between the two sides!
Eight hundred guards, three thousand elites, with no fear, followed closely behind Dian Wei, facing thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, naturally not afraid at all, they all held their blades and frantically attacked them.
"Kill!" One by one, the pro-guard warriors, when the two sides exchanged short troops, killed the enemy in an instant with just one blow.
Coupled with the surging of 3,000 elite troops in the rear, the officers and soldiers who had just rushed through the death trap had no time to react, and were even more powerless to resist, and most of them were killed and wounded on the spot, and the rest of the people were even more defeated.
"The Taiping army is invincible, and they want to pass my level unless they step on our corpses." The double halberd waved, swept the waist, and directly smashed the five or six officers and soldiers in front of him to the ground.
Step by step, fierce forward, with his footsteps passed, two heavy iron halberds danced, blood and rain splashed in the air, stumps flew wildly, Dian Wei was like a bulldozer, with his brave forward, no one could stop his terrifying fight, so that many officers and soldiers retreated, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Bold thief, look for death!" Seeing Dian Wei coming straight to Sun Jian, but seeing the cold light flashing in the sky, a general rushed forward and instantly blocked in front of Dian Wei, it was Cheng Pu, the general under Sun Jian.
"Hahaha, dare to be my old man's way, it seems that you are not small! I just don't know if your skills are just as small. Dian Wei laughed loudly, and when he raised his hand, an iron halberd whistled through the air, rolled the wind sharply, and went straight to Cheng Pu's throat.
Cheng Pu saw this, he didn't dare to underestimate half a point, and quickly dodged to avoid Dian Wei's heavy blow, and then the snake spear in his hand swept and swept towards Dian Wei's waist.
Dian Wei smirked in his mouth, and between his hands, an iron halberd swept through the airspace and attacked again, but the other iron halberd fell heavily in the face of the incoming snake spear, and smashed on Cheng Pu's spear body, and at the same time, he shouted loudly: "Let go!"
