Chapter 417: Even Threats and Intimidation

The attack without warning made the military horses that were starting and advancing in the direction of Yangwu County suddenly stunned. When they were attacked, the first thing they did was to look up blankly at the sudden bow and arrow shooting down the broken slope.

There were not many bows and arrows flying down the broken slope, five hundred archers, Huang Wudie assigned two hundred to Changpo, and then fifty on each side, and she herself led two hundred archers to lurk on the top of the slope about a mile long along the road on this broken slope.

In this way, two hundred archers are about three or four meters apart before there is one archer.

Huang Wudie ordered the arrows to be released, and after the three branches were shot, other archers shot bows and arrows one after another, which seemed a little sparse.

However, even if it was sparse, the distance from the top of the slope to the official road below the slope was less than 100 meters, and under the condition that the archers deliberately aimed before releasing the arrows, the more than 200 bows and arrows that flew out could also shoot hundreds of soldiers on the official road.

That's about 50 percent of the hits.

Whoosh!

The bowstring sounded, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air from top to bottom was very sudden, so that the military horses on the official road were really unknown at this time.

But just as their whole army was stunned, bows and arrows were shot into their ranks, stirring up a canopy of blood.

"Ahh

"Ahh

……

The people who were hit by the arrow, under the severe pain in their hearts, let out a terrible scream, and fell to the ground one by one, and the undead were wailing and rolling.

At this time, these officers and soldiers finally came to their senses, and they had been attacked.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Right on this hillside, ah! I've been shot! ”

"Get out of the way! Enemies shoot arrows on the hillside! ”

"Spread out!"

……

Three or four thousand officers and soldiers disguised as thieves stretched their original marching columns to several miles, but during a short break, their men and horses arrived one after another, which shortened the elongated formation, and the men and horses were basically on this section of the official road more than two miles long.

The official road is more than two miles long, and there is an open area of 100 meters in the middle, and in this section of the official road, more officers and soldiers gathered.

Wu Jin ordered to continue to advance towards Yangwu County, and he had already taken the lead in the front at this time. In this way, the enemy soldiers that Huang Wudie attacked on the broken slope were actually the first half of the men and horses. Then, the caravan escort on the long slope also began to attack the officers and soldiers on the official road below.

In this way, it is equivalent to the tail of this "thief army" being attacked with bows and arrows, and the first half of the men and horses being attacked. The centaurs in the middle of their line were not attacked for a while.

At this point, the situation is a bit confusing and subtle.

Attacked one end and one tail, the centaurs appeared extremely confused, screaming and shouting, scurrying around like headless flies. After they were attacked, no one thought about fighting back, no one thought about rushing up the broken slope and the long slope.

These men and horses who have been attacked, they have not been effectively commanded for a while, so they have no idea what they should do at this time.

What's even more ridiculous is that those centaurs in the middle section, although they saw the people in front or behind suddenly in chaos, but because they were not attacked, they looked at the people who were scurrying in confusion, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Similarly, because Wu Jin had already gone to the front and was let go by Huang Wudie's ambush soldiers, he couldn't know that the men and horses behind him had been attacked at the first time, so he didn't give the order to counterattack at the first time.

The archers on the hillside don't just shoot a round of arrows, after they shoot an arrow, they will continue to shoot all the arrows in their quiver.

The bows and arrows that are fired in a hurry may not be accurate, but the two hundred archers on the hillside can create an illusion that arrows are raining down, making the people and horses on the official road below the mountain think that there are a large number of men and horses in ambush on the hillside.

In fact, sometimes the generals who lead the troops at the grassroots level are also extremely important. If they are experienced in combat and are leading troops, such as general commanders, Dubo, etc., when they are about to fight, if they fail to receive the order of the general above for a while, they can reflex in general, and they can command their men and horses to enter a state of counterattack at the first time, then their men and horses will not appear so chaotic. Also, the hill wasn't really too steep, and they could easily rush up it. When they dare to counterattack, they will find that the enemy is not as strong as they thought.

It's a pity that these officers and soldiers who pretend to be thieves are like headless flies at this time, and no one wants to attack and kill them up the hill, but they all want to desperately avoid the shooting of strong arrows.

Fortunately, the archers in ambush on the hillside were really limited, and it was difficult to form a large area of coverage attack on the enemy soldiers scurrying on the official road below. Fortunately, this was an ancient war, not a war in which modern weapons were used in later generations, otherwise, a few machine guns on the hillside would have been enough to carry out a massacre of those men and horses on the official road.

If they are less panicked when they are suddenly attacked by bows and arrows, they will find that the bows and arrows that attack them are not so dense, and they have a lot of room to react.

But many times, there is no if.

At this time, whether it was Huang Wudie on the broken slope or those men and horses on the long slope, they saw that the enemy soldiers on the official road had been completely disrupted with bows and arrows on the slope, so they simply did not attack immediately, but continued to attack with bows and arrows on the hillside.

Of course, it invariably makes the other men and horses shout loudly, and the shouts of killing can also create the illusion that there are a large number of people and horses in ambush on the hillside.

Those people in the middle of the official road, they really didn't know how to react for a while. At this time, do they want to rush forward or backward? Or did they flee to the paths on both sides, regardless of the horses that were attacked by bows and arrows in front of them?

I didn't see the enemy, I only heard shouts of killing, but it made these officers and soldiers who were pretending to be thieves panic.

In the final analysis, in fact, they never thought that they would be attacked by unknown people from top to bottom. They really didn't understand, this was good, they said that they were going to Yangwu County to attack the Liu Mansion caravan, but why was it that they were attacked by unknown people and horses halfway through?

I can't figure it out.

While the centaurs they had been attacked were scurrying around looking for a place to hide from the arrows, those who had not been attacked were at a loss. On the paths on both sides of the middle section, shouts of killing also sounded, and at the same time, a billowing smoke rose.

The smoke rose and dispersed very quickly, and in an instant, it enveloped those paths, like fog on the flat ground, and the movement in the smoke was invisible in the white expanse.

With the shouting of killing like a huge wave, those people and horses in the middle of the official road, they couldn't help but have boundless fear.

I can't see clearly, I don't know how many enemies will be waiting for them in the direction of those paths, so they really don't dare to rush to the paths on both sides of the official road for a while.

It's all messed up, these people and horses, now they feel like they are trapped in a cage, and they can't advance or retreat. It's a pity that they are not trapped beasts, and they dare not fight easily.

Liu Xian didn't know that things would go so smoothly, and when he chose this place as an ambush, he also thought that after the battle started, it would definitely be a melee, and after the real hand-to-hand encounter, the battle might be more fierce.

Unexpectedly, in such a burying arrangement, psychological warfare is actually faintly involved. This intimidation and intimidation almost brought these officers and soldiers to the ground and made them panic all day long.

In fact, these officers and soldiers have been hiding in the mountains and forests for several days, and they have already exhausted themselves physically and mentally, and even after a night's rest, they still have not been able to fully recover.

In addition, this rapid march, after more than ten miles of rapid marching, suffered such an ambush without warning. So that they are like frightened birds, under the condition that their spirit and spirit are all withered, how much combat power can they have? How much more will there be?

Wu Jin, who was the first to rush to the front with the centaurs, naturally did not suffer from the attack on a small part of the centaurs behind him.

However, after the men and horses behind him were suddenly attacked, he was also taken aback and quickly stopped the horses.

However, he was also suspicious, and he didn't know who was ambushing his men and horses, let alone how many people and horses the enemy was, and he didn't give the first order for his military horses to launch a counterattack.

The first thing he did was to ask the people behind him what was going on, and then he ordered the men below to hurry up to him.

He moved forward, and on both sides of the official road in front of him were some relatively open areas, and he planned to let his men and horses come over at the risk of clashes with bows and arrows, and he would put his horses in order again, and depending on the situation, he would attack the people who ambushed his horses.

Wu Jin is like this, which can be regarded as a relatively safe approach, after all, his men and horses look chaotic, but in fact, there are not too many people who have been shot directly. If you ignore the bows and arrows on the hillside, you can really rush out a lot of people and horses.

Then at this time, Liu Xian led a hundred cavalry to rush to the kill.

"General! We are surrounded, and there are cavalry rushing in front of us! ”

Wu Jin's personal soldiers first spotted the cavalry in front of the official road.

Although the cavalry led by Liu Xian only had about 100 horsemen, the movement made by the cavalry when they galloped was indeed a little loud, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, stirring up a billowing dust.

Liu Xian was dressed in silver armor, riding a horse and carrying a gun, and killed majestically.

"My son, Liu Mansion Caravan Liu Xian! I'm here to kill the thief today! Where are you the bandits? Who is the head of the thief? Do you dare to fight with this son? ”

Liu Xianren didn't arrive, but the shouting and cheering had already arrived.

At this point, Wu Jin suddenly realized that these were the men and horses of the Liu Mansion caravan, and he wanted to attack the Liu Mansion caravan of others, but he really didn't think that the Liu Mansion caravan was so bold and dared to take the initiative to attack his people.

At the same time, Wu Jin also felt that something was wrong.

There are not a lot of people in the Liu Mansion caravan, not to mention more than 2,000 people. They waited here for a while, and set up an ambush position waiting for them. This was indeed a surprise to them, and it had completely disrupted his military horses.

At this moment, Wu Jin felt a little powerless, because it was impossible for him to sort out his chaotic men and horses who were being ambushed in a short time. It is difficult to organize an effective confrontation.

In addition, he was also a little bitter in his heart at this time, because he was originally the Taishou of Hanoi County and an official officer and soldier. Now he is an officer and soldier, but he is called a thief by the other party, and he is called the head of the thief. But he was speechless, and he couldn't argue.

At this time, can he reveal his true identity? He dared to show his identity, and the court would not let him go afterwards.

"Kill! Kill the thief! ”

Liu Xian's shouts with internal strength spread to the battlefield, and the people and horses lurking on the hillside really rushed down.

Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the "officers and men" who did not have effective command had already scattered and fled in fright, and they drilled into the road as soon as they could.

What to do?

Wu Jin's heart was burning and he was very anxious.

"General! General Wu! What to do? Fight or flight? “

Seeing that the cavalry led by Liu Xian was about to rush to kill, Wu Jin's men and horses had not yet been able to set up a defensive formation.

"Escape...... Escape, what escape! Seeing that there are not many cavalry troops, let's rush over! Right, Liu Xian? We just need to kill Liu Xian. Haha, I didn't expect him to call for war against Ben Taishou? Don't be afraid, wait for Wu to behead Liu Xian. “

Wu Jin was in good spirits at this time, and seemed to see a glimmer of life, as long as he killed Liu Xian, then it would be equivalent to victory.

He slapped his horse, raised the long knife in his hand, and rushed over to Liu Xian and said, "You are Liu Xian?" A mere child, how dare to fight against General Ben? Well, as you wish, General Ben will fight you! Kill! “

A third-rate general?

Liu Xian didn't know Wu Jin, but he sensed his aura, and his strength should be at the level of a third-rate general.

If it is a second-rate general, Liu Xian needs to be careful, and he doesn't dare to hold it up, but a third-rate general? Liu Xianzu can hang and beat him.

"Want to kill Ben Gongzi? It depends on what you can do! Look at the guns! Liu Xian's war horse did not stop, the snow-white war horse was as fast as lightning, and it was killed in front of Wu Jin's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xian unfurled his spear, shook out a shadow of a gun, and then directly used the move learned from Zhang Fei's eighteen methods of snake spear, and a poisonous snake came out of the hole.

The spear was windy, as sudden as a poisonous snake, and it stabbed at Wu Jin's face at once.

Wu Jin was startled, feeling that his eyes were painful, and his eyelids couldn't be opened.

He hurriedly raised his knife and struck hard.

Bite!

Knife and gun.

However, Liu Xian's shot was extremely powerful, far greater than Wu Jin's strength.

With a choking sound, Wu Jin only felt that his arm was numb, and the long knife in his hand was shocked by Liu Xian's shot and flew out.

"Oops, not good!"

Wu Jin shouted in shock, hurriedly turned to one side, and bowed to the war horse, wanting to staggered with Liu Xian's war horse to avoid Liu Xian's killing move.

"The dragon wags its tail!"

Liu Xian also twisted his waist at the same time, and the spear swept backwards suddenly.

"Ahh

Wu Jin was beaten squarely, and he flew off the horse with a scream.
