Chapter 175: Natural Traps

General Lang, the chasing soldiers are near, and there are still twenty miles!

General Lang, the chasing soldiers are near, and there are still fifteen miles!

General Lang, the chasing soldiers are near, and there are still ten miles!

Stop it! The back formation becomes the front formation, and the battle is in place!

Shen Rendrunk gave an order, and the Qi army that was marching in a hurry immediately stopped, and the entire army reversed direction, and the rear formation changed to the front formation, and rested in place.

They had already sent cavalry back to the Queen Mother Guard to ask for support, but the Queen Mother Guard only had 2,500 cavalry, and they were still uncertain whether the defenders would dare to send reinforcements at the risk of being swallowed up by the other side with an extra force of fresh force, thus leaving the Queen Mother Guard further defenses empty.

Whether reinforcements come or not, without reinforcements now, they will have to rely on themselves.

On the avenue, only the old and weak soldiers and the men who were originally only responsible for feeding the horses and cooking continued to march quickly in the direction of the queen mother's guard, and the others stopped, and the original rear formation was densely packed with archers and crossbowmen, followed by melee infantry such as jumping and strange soldiers.

The whole army is configured in echelons, this is not out of Shen Ren's drunken orders, but the Qi army's habitual formation to meet the enemy, each echelon of the Qi army is like a phalanx, but inside each phalanx, spearmen, sword and shield hands, etc., form a small wedge-shaped array.

In fact, even though Wu Xiaosheng was hit by an arrow in his buttocks and didn't want his subordinates to see his embarrassment, but at this critical juncture, he still refused to show up, which was a bit strange, but now all the Qi troops were looking nervously into the distance, waiting for the Di soldiers who rushed over, and no one thought about this unreasonable place.

Shen Ren was drunk and tugged at the corner of the curtain. Look at the movement outside.

The reason for their hasty retreat was because they had heard that the other side had an army of 100,000 men, which was far beyond the strength of his 5,000 undefendable soldiers and horses, and the soldiers already knew this. So the soldiers haven't arrived yet. It's already the first to take the lead. The soldiers of the Qi army all looked a little worried.

Shen Rendrunk frowned, and said in his heart: It is said in the book of war that the two armies clash, and the morale of the first thing is the first thing, how can this look resist the attack of the Di cavalry?

He thought for a moment and said loudly: Agu, Liang Si'er! At this time, Vice General Lin had already gone to the front to personally command. Shen Ren, the other generals of the Qi army, really didn't know any of them, but fortunately, Fang Cai still remembered the names of these two pro-soldiers, so he shouted at them.

These two are Wu Xiaosheng's personal soldiers. He was really standing nearby, and as soon as he heard him shouting, he immediately ran over, and Shen Ren was drunk and said: The enemy is now. The brave are born. What is the use of being afraid of death! Tell the brothers to puff up their chests, sing a song to listen, and strengthen our courage!

What the? The two wondered.

Sing a song to Lao Tzu to listen to!

Here!

Shen Renzui didn't know what songs they usually sang, but he knew that there must be military songs in the army, and sure enough, Agu and Liang Sichuan gave the order to go, and a moment later. Weitian's majestic singing voice resounded through the snowfield:

The four seas are surrounded by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Not even in clothes. Today's Success......

Looking back at the side plug as low as a horse, I gradually saw that the Yellow River flowed straight north, Tianwei rolled straight to the jade gate, and the Hu people sang in unison!

The four seas are surrounded by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Not to mention the clothes, it will be successful today......

The Lord is holy and opens, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; After you look at the Yange, it is the peaceful autumn......

Groups of warriors raised spears, war bows, and sabers, and even struck each other with swords and shields, beating the beat, and sang the majestic music of Weitian with their rough and heroic voices!

The singing rushed to the night with a heroic spirit, and the morale of the officers and men of the three armies was suddenly greatly boosted.

In the middle of the song, a black line appeared on the horizon of the distant snowfield,

In the song, the black line turned into a rolling torrent surging,

In the song, the horse is like a dragon, the man is like a tiger, and the hoof is like a war drum.

In the midst of the song, the Di warriors raised their snow-bright steel knives high and merged into a shining forest!

In the song, the crossbowmen and archers shot out the arrows that had been stored in their hands for a long time, or flat or upward, and the arrows shot towards the Di people army who swooped over like a storm, and the shields were like umbrellas, which could not stop such a sudden wind and rain, and the Di soldiers who rushed to the front fell down like cutting wheat.

Dead bodies were everywhere, and the war horses that had lost their masters no longer galloped forward desperately, blocking the way for the knights behind to charge, making their momentum slow down slightly, Lin Suixue had a hideous smile on the corner of her mouth, waved her hand down, and shouted: Shoot again!

The banner rolled up, and the second rain of arrows shot out again.

The Di soldiers on the opposite side attacked a distance closer, and at the same time, a large number of Di soldiers were shot to death, and the dead corpses and ownerless war horses further frustrated their attack speed, their original attack speed was simply unstoppable, but at this time, it was no longer the kind of momentum that could make people have no courage to resist, and the original sharp attack formation became scattered.

The Di cavalry roared loudly, and the Di cavalry, who was riding their horses forward, suddenly divided left and right, rushing towards the vast snowy field, looking at their appearance, it was to draw an arc, pincer to the two wings of the Qi army from both sides, and the Di cavalry in order continued to attack from the middle road.

Seeing this situation, Lin Suixue couldn't help but show a smug smile in his eyes, he ordered loudly, with a command, the battle flag waved, and the Qi army on the left and right wings expanded forward, expanding into an arc, protecting the two wings of the army, stretching his bow and arrows, and waiting for the battle.

The two Di cavalry, like two sharp scimitars, ran away from the avenue with oblique stabs, and followed an arc towards the snowfield, if their original foothold was, the end point of this arc was the middle and front section of the retreating Qi army.

It seems that they also know that the Qi army left at the back is the weakest in combat power, and at the same time, cutting off a long dragon Qi army is equivalent to copying the back road of the Qi army, and at that time, the two-legged Qi army has no way to escape in this vast snowfield, only to be slaughtered.

The two Di soldiers who were diagonally copied towards the snow field were whipping like rain, desperately whipping the mounts under their crotches, but they found that no matter how they urged, the speed of the mounts under the crotch became slower and slower, as if the horse's hooves were stuck in the mud and could not run forward. Several knights behind couldn't stop the momentum and also fell down screaming.

The Di cavalry were a little startled, and their momentum suddenly slowed down. This situation did not go away, and cavities continued to appear in the snow fields on both sides. Like a monster's mouth. Suddenly, a few people and horses were swept in.

It's so horrible that you don't know what you're up against, and you don't know when it's going to happen. The Di cavalry, who frantically rushed to the left and right, reined in their horses in panic. Looking in horror at the flat snowfield ahead, the snow was as far as the eye could see, and the wind blew the snow as smooth as a mirror. There was nothing unusual to be seen on it, but who knew if one step would be swallowed by the monsters underground.

The Di soldiers in front ushered in the third rain of arrows. They used their lives to fight for further opportunities for their comrades behind, but the Di soldiers behind did not take advantage of this opportunity, and they all restrained their horses. Looked left and right in horror, not knowing what was happening.

On this snowy area, which was called Yuhaizi at that time, the whole lake is very huge and spectacular. But then the water source dried up. Land is exposed in the middle.

The original large surface of the lake has since been turned into saline land. The section of the road that Qi Jun is walking on now was flanked by embankments higher in the lake. The pavement in this place is the least solid, and there are many surfaces that look normal and flat, but are actually a layer of soil formed by the condensation of gravel and salt soil over the years, and the bottom is empty.

And the cavity below is not only one layer, it may be a honeycomb terrain formed by the superposition of many layers of cavities, and the situation below is very complicated, you don't know how deep it is, so if someone falls down. Even if you can't fall to your death, you can't save it, so you can only sit back and ignore it.

The garrison here and the people nearby all know about the situation in these ghost domains. Qing yƬ didn't dare to approach at all, so Lin Suixue saw them rushing towards the Death Ghost Domain, and a smug smile appeared in her eyes, this kind of ghost place Sometimes a little shepherd boy driving a sheep can disappear with a bang, and it is strange that these Di soldiers gallop on fast horses without accidents.

The panicked Di soldiers tried to turn the horse back, but some places were fine when they came, and there were clear horseshoe prints on it.

This suddenly frightened the Di army like headless flies scurrying on the snowfield, where there were horseshoe prints, and where there were no horseshoe prints, they were even more worried, they walked cautiously, for fear that if they got up fast, they would break a big hole in the ground.

At this time, the soldiers on the left and right flanks began to shoot and hunt, they were not in a hurry, they aimed at the target accurately and then shot an arrow, these border soldiers were good at archery, every arrow hit, the Di soldiers who did not flee and did not fight were shot off the horse.

Seeing this scene, the Di people on the front avenue also knew that there was something strange in the snow fields on both sides, so they did not dare to send soldiers into the field again, but mobilized archers with strong arms to shoot at the Qi army.

As soon as they opened their bows, the archers and crossbowmen of the Qi army immediately retreated, and the men holding the foot shields more than one person high rushed forward, erecting the big spears into a strong wall, and the crossbowmen of the Qi army hid behind and shot out from the gaps, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Shen Ren was drunk in the car, listening to the battle report sent by Agu in front, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he pretended to be vague just now, and had already asked Liang Si'er, knowing that such a dangerous saline-alkali ground was only two miles in radius, whether the Di cavalry came around from a distance, or repeated the old tricks on the way to continue to retreat, it would be a headache to deal with.

The problem is that Di Renren doesn't know how big such a collapse area is, and he doesn't dare to send troops and horses to try indiscriminately, in this way, there are two natural dangers on both sides to block the pursuers for her, and it will be much easier to do with only one passage behind, Shen Renzui immediately ordered: Leave the rear team but the enemy, and the rest of the men and horses continue to retreat!

When Agu heard this, he was surprised and said, "General, those brothers who stayed in the back team...... Don't we care?

Shen Rendrunk was in a good mood at the moment, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: Stupid! Retreat calmly, don't panic, take a hundred steps back, line up to wait for the enemy, and then order the remaining men and horses to retreat to a hundred steps behind us and line up to wait for the enemy, the two teams cycle back and forth, slowly retreating! Also, order the post guard again, and quickly go to the Queen Mother's Guard to move the rescuers! (To be continued......)
