Chapter 412: The veteran is out
Sun Wu devoted himself to Wanfu and leveled the demon in Sisu. Before the glaive marching order was issued, he saw the stars in the corner.
After some tossing, the Jiangdong Army set off again.
After walking about seven or eight miles, about a mile away from the place where the fire broke out at the exit, the forward battalion stopped again in the middle of the road. After half a night of burning, the fire did not go out, but there was a trend of burning more and more, and the overwhelming heat wave instantly smeared the corners of everyone's foreheads with beads of sweat the size of beans.
Huang Gai looked at the top of his head and sighed, and shook the flag in his hand gently.
Three thousand iron axe men and a thousand sword shield soldiers quickly came out of the formation, divided into two columns and came to the grove, seven or eight people, surrounded the big tree in front of them, and when the general gave the order again, the iron axes in their hands would turn into thunder and lightning and slash at the trunk of the tree.
They believed in the experience of the old general, and also believed in his judgment, as long as the axe fell, as long as they were given half an hour, they could clear this forest to form a fire belt.
However, they waited for three or five breaths, but the old general's order still had not yet come.
The old general was still on his horse, still looking at the sky overhead.
I don't know when a cloud of jet-black clouds had gathered in the sky, and they were holding hands and rushing towards the sky of Bo'an, hiding the bright colors overhead, as if the trees were full of fruit.
A cool breeze howled in the forest, the branches kept beating against the neighboring trees and the air, the flags also whirled on the flagpole, but the fire in front of them became more and more raging, and the long tongue licked through the forest, revealing a hideous smile.
The crowd exclaimed.
The old general remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the top of his head, as if a peerless fairy would suddenly jump out of the clouds.
The wind is blowing more and more fiercely.
The clouds are getting lower and lower.
Everyone was still confused, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and a white lightning bolt fell from the sky for a moment, and the dense forest also lit up for a while, and then fell into darkness again.
Then, an earth-shattering spring thunder sounded in everyone's ears, and the sound of falling rain began to hit everyone's hearts at the same time. The clouds gradually dispersed, and a torrential rain poured down from the sky, raindrops the size of beans poured on the branches, on the roadside, and on the body of the fire dragon.
The rain splashed on the road, and the raindrops on the top of the fire dragon turned into fog.
"God bless Koto!"
Sun Ce slammed the overlord gun into the ground, took off his helmet, let the rain pour from his neck into his body, rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, and roared angrily towards the sky, venting the resentment and anger that had been suppressed in his heart.
Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, and the soldiers who had experienced the fire last night also roared and shouted in the forest.
The scene of Sun Jian's cutting of his hair this morning gave them too much shock, and it also put a layer of spiritual shackles on them.
The commanders of the three armies actually paid for their failures, and this is not a shame for the commanders, but a shame for them!
Of course, they are not cowardly, nor are they incompetent, but they don't seem to be able to do much in the face of that raging fire. But if... If there had been this rainstorm last night, then they must not have ended like this!
Shame and courage, children can be taught!
The unyielding posture of the three flashed in Huang Gai's sight, Huang Gai nodded, and waved his big hand: "Let's go!" ”
The rain was pouring down, but the flames had been extinguished.
20,000 foot soldiers walked out of the smoky forest with cloth towels on their mouths, and the raindrops on their faces and armor made them become "water army" again. But they didn't care, the hatred of the robe was still engraved in their hearts, and their blood was as hot as last night's fire.
In just an hour, they had already arrived at the mouth of the Heavenly Canyon.
A line of heaven is located in the middle of the two mountains, the mountains on both sides are steep and dangerous, the cliffs are majestic and majestic, the stone walls on both sides seem to be sharpened with knives and axes, and the dangerous peaks stand like two huge skyscrapers pressing down head-on, and the stones on the top of the mountain tremble and tremble, as if a gust of wind can blow down. The mountainside is overgrown with grass and trees, and several flags are faintly visible with the mountain breeze.
Hmph, what a tricky old man Lu Kang!
Huang Gai secretly despised it, beckoned Sun Ce and the three of them to him and said: "The terrain here is dangerous, and it is quite a situation where a husband is in charge, and it is the only way for our army to go to Lu'an. Previously, Lu Kang set up an ambush in the forest, lest he leak the news; Now a few flags have been placed in the mountains, lest everyone know about it.
According to the old man, this should be Lu Kang's old man's plan to confuse my mind and mess with our army's mind, there should be no ambush here, and his real ambush lives outside the canyon. But there are also clouds in soldiers: virtual and real, virtual is real, and real is virtual. The lives of all the officers and men of our forward battalion are at stake, and we have to guard against them.
Gong Yi and Zi Lie, each of you led 3,000 infantry troops from both sides of the canyon to quietly go up the mountain, if you encounter an ambush soldier quietly kill it, you can't startle the snake, and then lie in ambush on the spot, but when the arrow rises into the air, the boulder on the top of the mountain will be thrown down.
As for the matter of luring the ambush soldiers across the canyon, it was handed over to Bo Fu and the cavalry under his command. The lord has delivered all the cavalry into the hands of my forward battalion, and the old man has paid them back to you. Don't let the old man down again! ”
Everyone took the order out, Jiang Qin and Chen Wu led their troops to set up an ambush on the mountain, and Shan Dao Sun Ce led the remnants of the Jiangdong army of 1,700 cavalry to go straight to the outside of the valley.
Braving the wind and rain all the way, in less than half a pillar of incense, everyone had already passed the narrow valley road.
It seems that Huang Gai's expectation is right, there is no movement on the mountainsides on both sides of this line of sky, obviously there is indeed no ambush of Lu Kang in the first line of sky, and those flags are really just some flags.
Sun Ce cautiously looked at the outside of the valley, outside the valley was just a criss-crossing Tian Mo, in the middle of Tian Mo, a road several feet wide was winding, the road was covered with some messy fallen leaves and dead grass, quiet as usual in the dripping rain and fog, and there was not the slightest trace of the army crossing.
There is no enemy in the valley, and there are soldiers outside the valley, this is Huang Gai's judgment.
If there is no trace, it is a trace, this is Sun Ce's understanding.
Otherwise, how can we explain the fate of the soldiers who broke out of the jungle? There are no real birdmen in this world, can they still conjure wings and fly away? Don't you know that the more they cover up, the bigger the flaws are revealed!
With a slight finger of the overlord spear in Sun Ce's hand, several soldiers stepped forward, wielding their knives and guns, and removing the deciduous and withered grass a few meters away, revealing a cave two or three meters long each with a length of two or three meters high under the withered grass.
The bamboo tip in the hole is upside down, and the thistle terrestris is everywhere.
Hmph, there are really ghosts, if it weren't for General Huang's reminder, I am afraid that I will lose some soldiers if I rush and kill recklessly!
Sun Ce snorted coldly and rode to the entrance of the cave, his legs were clamped suddenly, and the front hooves of the war horse jumped high and then fell suddenly. "Boom", the entrance of the cave collapsed and collapsed, the soil splashed everywhere, and the rainwater deposited on the road flowed along the changed terrain to the collapsed place, and the bamboo tips and thistles in the cave were buried.
"Whew!"
A scream broke through the air, and a sharp arrow passed through the rain curtain like black lightning, heading straight for Sun Ce's eyes, and the misty rain was instantly separated into two sections by that light.
Sun is not fooled, you can't wait!
Sun Ce looked at the direction where the sharp arrow was coming, smiled coldly, and the overlord spear was lightly lifted in front of him. With a ding, the tip of the spear was just in the way of the arrow's flight, and the arrow broke from it, and a drop of rain floated down from the tip of the spear and landed at the foot, merging with the muddy water on the ground, and it was no longer possible to distinguish from each other.
"Arrows!"
Sun Ce's behavior seemed to annoy the children of Lujiang who were hiding in the grass, and Lu Yunhai shouted, eight thousand, no, and nearly four thousand people who Sima withdrew, a total of twelve thousand soldiers stood up from the grass together.
Hold the bow to Mount Tai, and open the arrow like a full moon.
More than 10,000 sharp arrows hidden in the rain and mist poured with a strong wind-breaking sound, the rain curtain was cut again, and the cold light of the snow came into everyone's eyes, and the raindrops hit the arrow cluster, and they were immediately stabbed by the murderous aura on the arrow cluster, and they were torn apart.
"There are ambushes, retreat!"
Sun Ce poured his arms into his arms and danced the overlord gun impenetrable, firmly protecting himself and several soldiers in front of him.
However, countless arrows still fell over his head and fell on the soldiers behind him, and several sharp arrows still pierced the head of the war horse under his crotch through the intermittent gap.
The wails arose, and the horses screamed. Blood flowed from the soldiers' chests, thighs, arms, and the heads of their horses, slowly gathering together like a babbling stream, staining the muddy water under their feet a bloody color.
"Withdraw!"
Sun Ce howled angrily at the soldiers again, and without waiting for the war horse under his crotch to fall, he jumped up and landed on the back of a nearby knight, grabbed the horse's reins and flicked the horse's head, and the long whip fell directly on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse rose into the air with a long neigh, taking the lead in breaking through the rain and fog in front of him, and rushing to the first line of sky not far away.
"Chase!"
Sun Ce hurriedly rode on the back of other people's horses and fled, and the Jiangdong knights were also embarrassed.
Lu Yunhai naturally didn't know that Sun Ce and his party were here to lure the enemy, and thought that Sun Ce and the others were only now taking advantage of the torrential rain to escape from the sea of fire.
After all, there were only 1,700 knights in this line, which was about the same as his estimate of the number of remnant cavalry in Jiangdong, and there was not a single infantry in this team!
How could the duck in his hand let him fly?
Brother Lu Yunqing, brothers Lu Yuncong, and brothers Lu Yunhui are still watching him in the sky to avenge them!
The blood has been ignited by the desire for revenge, and the cold raindrops hitting Lu Yunhai's face can't extinguish the hatred in his heart, Lu Yunhai let out a long roar and stuck an arrow into his back with an arrow, a spear waved forward, and more than 10,000 soldiers stepped on the rain with the instep of their feet to cover the past.
The horses had already gathered in the col three or five miles ahead when they were in ambush, but they still did not slow down the speed of everyone. After the hard work of tea, they have come to the first line of heaven.
The rain was still falling, and there was no longer Sun Ce and his party in the valley, only the dense sound of horses' hooves still echoed in the valley.
Lu Yunhai sneered, and broke into the canyon first, and the soldiers under his command also followed. More than 10,000 soldiers trampled on the boundless rain with sonorous and powerful steps, like thunder, even the torrential rain that was pouring in the sky could not hide their voices.
