Chapter 375. Plunged headlong into an ambush circle

Before crossing, he had never been to southern Jiangsu, and when he arrived here, Wang Hou saw what it means to be an endless plain! At a glance, it is either flat or flat, and even a mountain bag is a rare object.

However, in this era, Jiangnan really has not been well developed, compared with the paddy fields all over the place after the Song and Ming dynasties, the rivers and ditches are still mostly swampy and muddy land, and the reeds in some places have grown more than two people tall, and people can't see the shadow when they hide in.

So it's a dangerous place!

The territory where the Black Mountain Army's brigade disappeared is not far from the walled city of Biling, and Wang Hou is also a warlord, so he has to catch strong men! Otherwise, the food really couldn't be moved, and this group of people was sent out to catch the strong man, but the strong man was not caught, and he compensated himself back.

Wang Hou now regrets killing that deserter too early! It's not that he shouldn't be killed, but at least he has to be left until he leads the way before killing, and on the spur of the moment, he can only find the trail with a regiment like a hound, and move forward in black.

Fortunately, even if the terrain is changed, there are still many things in common for the old hunters.

"Governor Mu, there are footprints tracing in the place where the deserter instructed, it should be around here!"

Pointing to the ground, the old hunter from Taishan County said with a gloomy face and vigilant, but without him, Wang Hou could also see it, because next to the reeds not far from the village, there were already traces of blood on the ground, traces of twisting and twisting on the ground, and even some parts of the body of some thin people were still thrown on the Lin.

However, all the corpses are gone!

The team stopped abruptly on the side of the road, walked to the front from the rear right corner, and looked at the blood stains on the ground, Wang Hou couldn't help but take a deep breath of the smell of blood and swamp mud.

has experienced a lot of wars, and now Wang Hou can be regarded as an old man, and he can see some battlefield clues at a glance, among the messy footprints, it seems that the figure of the Bairao bandit army carrying knives and carrying trophies has suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Suddenly, countless arrows shot out, crackling and falling on the unaware Black Mountain Thieves, shooting down twenty or thirty people on the spot, and the Fried Mao Liao Bandits did not break up at the first time, but retreated to the woods at the other end, trying to counterattack with the help of cover.

But this hand gave him a fatal blow, and there were ambushes in another wood, and they suddenly killed from behind at the moment of panic, completely ending the lives of this brigade.

Except for the deserter who ran away as soon as something happened, none of them survived, on the one hand, it can be seen that the attack was carefully planned, and on the other hand, there was no room for resistance and was slaughtered, it can be seen that the opponents are all terrible guys, which makes Wang Hou can't help but think of one of the elite soldiers who rarely showed his face on the Internet in later generations.

Relieve the annoying infantry!

Now there's one last question, that is! Why did they kill people, why did these advance soldiers of Eastern Wu bother to hide their corpses!

Unless! They're going to do it again!

Suddenly, his head was like a bright healing bubble, Wang Hou turned his head suddenly, Zhu Zhao, the captain of the team, was Zhu Ling's third son, who had been born and died with Zhu Ling for many years, and he was also an old soldier, looking at Wang Hou's face, he also understood in an instant, and turned his head suddenly, this son roared like killing a pig.

"Enemy attack! Alert! ”

However, he woke up a little late, and almost as close to his words, dense feathered arrows shot out of the reeds like flying locusts, and in the sound of popping, the unsuspecting heavy infantry in the front row fell heavily on their knees.

However, this was shot directly to the face without defense, and the sunshine through the cold-rolled tortoise shell plate armor and shin armor or something is still quite powerful, and in the roar, it is also the same experienced and well-trained heavy infantry of the Rizhao Brigade who immediately lowered their heads and protected their faces with a round shield with their left hand, and in the rain of arrows in ping-pong, the arrows that were not so well cast fell to the ground with a clatter.

I haven't suffered such a big loss yet! Qi's eyes were red, and Zhu Zhao roared angrily and ordered the crossbowmen to fight back, but before he could shout this order, Wang Hou had already grabbed his arm violently.

Because of the battlefield he was tracking, his brigade did not enter the best ambush point between the reeds and the woods, and the space of about a hundred meters behind was a flat and uncovered flat land or a muddy swamp, and there was not such a high and large area of the reeds, looking at the helmets of his own sergeants in front of him who were hit by arrows, and he was solemn for a moment, but Wang Hou was deprived of the best command, and said gloomily.

"Stay in formation! Bring the brethren! Retreat! ”

"Retreat?"

Since the Rizhao Brigade became an army, it has not been so cowardly, and Zhu Zhao's newly arrived regiment did not wait for a voice, but the first team of the front-line heavy infantry led Wang Duan to look back in disbelief.

It's just that after all, it is an elite army forged by the high pressure of military law, looking at Wang Hou's gloomy face, this officer from the Langya Wang clan also immediately shut up and drank in a dull manner.

"Step backwards, raise your halberd to defend against arrows, and retreat!"

Holding the halberd high, while shaking, the front row of heavy infantry retreated back in an orderly manner, looking at the reeds that were still shooting outwards in waves, and even the reeds were scraped down by the arrows shot out from time to time, but they were not allowed to fight back, pinching the double bows and crossbows that were open in their hands, and the light infantry hiding behind couldn't help but itch their teeth one by one.

It's not to belittle Dongwu, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangnan soldiers in these years is indeed worse than that of the northern soldiers, not only in terms of physique, combat experience, but also directly mentioned in the combat tools, Wang Houjun gradually retreated more than 30 meters, and the arrows fired by the ambush soldiers could not hit the Qingzhou army, and fell directly on the Lin a few meters in front of him.

The bow is made of Zhemu as the top, the wood and the oak tree are second, the bamboo is the bottom, there is only bamboo in the south, and the Wu army is a large level of the northern army in the bow material.

And as a direct result of the range being extended, those ambushes hidden in the reeds appeared!

It is impossible to focus on armor in a light raid, so the Wu army in front of them is wearing leather armor, but these troops are definitely elite troops, because they are actually equipped with rhino leather armor that even Wang Hou can't equip! Armor made of rhinoceros leather!

At this time, the Central Plains rhinoceros has long been hunted and extinct! Jiangnan can only be seen in the old forests of Montenegro, rhino skin is light, hard and far better than cowhide, can use rhino skin to equip a whole army, and the identity is overwhelmed by the rest of the troops.

However, can the rhino leather armor be able to defend against Wang Hou's special armor-piercing crossbow arrows?

It doesn't seem to be any different from cowhide armor!

The team withdrew more than sixty meters, more and more Dongwu ambushes came out, and even the ambushes in the forest also came out, looking at Wang Hou's appearance that he didn't dare to engage in battle, they actually arrogantly took a bow and shot it over, shooting so that the front row of the Rizhao heavy infantry was about to insert arrows into hedgehogs.

However, they seem to have forgotten a basic common sense in war, and if the ambush soldier shows his head, it will be worthless!

Seeing that there was already a thick layer, and there were no less than two hundred Wu Jun showing his head in front of him, Wang Hou's face suddenly turned ruthless, and in the military formation, he raised his arm and roared out.

"Shoot me!"

I don't know how long I held it back, and I didn't even think about it, but subconsciously with Wang Hou's roar, a group of light infantry raised their bows and crossbows in their hands.

"Hum~"
