Chapter 807: Danger in the Dark

If the previous battle on the west bank of Tanxi was mainly because the intention of luring the enemy into the depth was really obvious, and there was a big gap in the cooperation between the cavalry and the ambush and the follow-up reinforcements, then in today's big battle, Wei Chishun really didn't know what he was wrong, and he didn't know why the enemy would see through his intentions so quickly, and set a trap for himself that he didn't even know if it was a trap.

Thinking of the battle of Cangxi Valley at that time, the soldiers and horses that Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan had the advantage of were turned around by Li Xinchen, and then thinking that the civil war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was now almost to the point of losing both, so that even a single soldier to support Xiangyang City could not be mobilized, Wei Chishun had a deep helplessness.

He even suspected that Li Xinchen had a pair of magical hands that could easily manipulate and change everything, whether it was time or fate.

What the hell is this guy coming from?

But now Wei Chishun doesn't have so much energy to think about how Li Xinchen did this, whether it is destiny or artificial, at least Wei Chishun has to solve the problem in front of him now.

Needless to say, the enemy knows that there is a problem with such an arrangement.

It's just that he doesn't know if Pei Zilie will be spying on himself in the dark, waiting for himself to reveal a bigger flaw to him. But he knows that if he doesn't leave now, he will really have no chance later.

The generals did not dare to slack off, and they could already feel the imminent danger from the words of the major general.

Mingjin's voice suddenly came in the darkness, and the Northern Zhou army, which had been attacking frantically, slowly retreated, and rows of crossbowmen lined up along the edge of the camp, and anyone who had the courage to rush up would naturally accept the baptism of arrow rain.

Li Xun, who was standing on the platform, couldn't help but exhale as he watched the Northern Zhou army retreat suddenly.

The attack of the Northern Zhou army was really rapid, to be honest, if they maintained such an offensive strength for a long time, I am afraid that the Ba people would not be able to support it. It's just that the current situation is that the Northern Zhou army has dropped a large number of corpses in front of the Ba people's array, and correspondingly, the Ba people's original quadrangular array with Dianjiangtai as the core has also shrunk by one-third.

In other words, in the short and rapid confrontation just now, both sides paid at least two, six, or seven hundred casualties.

If you continue to consume like this, the Pakistani people will really fight clean.

"General!" Lu Qing had a knife mark on his face, and he didn't know which lucky guy cut it, but his luck didn't seem to be enough, otherwise Lu Qing's head would have already turned into two petals.

"Your kid has a big fate." Li Xun looked at it and couldn't help but smile.

Wiping the blood on his face, Lu Qing also smiled: "General, are we still chasing after it?" โ€

"What to chase, you can't chase it, we don't care about the rest." Li Xun waved his hand, "Let the brothers rest for a while, this fire seems to be almost burning, send scouts to find General Wu Yi and see where they are." โ€

After a pause, Li Xun silently turned his head to look in the direction of the retreat of the Northern Zhou army.

Obviously, Wei Chishun is not a complete fool, so it is reasonable for him to be able to see some obvious traps, and the next thing is to see whether Pei Zilie and they can grasp the opportunity.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”---

Yu Chi Shun walked on the dark road with one foot and one shallow foot.

Of course, there is no official road from Tanxi to Xiangyang City, and this small road is still opened up by the baggage teams that transport grain and grass back and forth, and most of the soldiers and horses retreated just now are also this road. Because of the people stepping on the horses, the road was somewhat rough, and Wei Chishun ordered the fire to be extinguished, so he could only use the faint moonlight to check what was under his feet.

"How far is it?" Wei Chishun asked in a low voice.

"About half a mile," replied the captain of the guard, "this black light is walking blindly, and the surrounding mountains and rivers cannot be seen clearly, and his subordinates cannot ยทยทยทยทยทยท."

"Whoosh!" A sharp sound came, interrupting the captain of the guard.

The arrows whistled and sank into the chest of another guard, and the captain of the guard almost subconsciously threw Wei Chishun to the ground, and the next moment, more arrows let out a piercing roar, and the retreating Northern Zhou soldiers never thought that there would be such a killing machine hidden in this darkness, and wherever the arrows went, it could really be said that people were on their backs.

"Array!" Wei Chishun pushed away the captain of the guard and yelled.

And it seemed to be aware of the sound on this side, more arrows converged in this direction, Wei Chi Shun just wanted to get up, but he also sensed that something was wrong, and almost completely relied on instinct to roll on the spot, rolling directly into the grass on the side of the road, and the dense arrows directly pierced several guards who were still standing into hedgehogs in the next moment.

"General!" Several battle lords rushed over to this side in a panic, but they were immediately stopped by Wei Chishun's personal guards, and now everyone knows that Wei Chishun is here, and he can't let the young general be exposed again.

Otherwise, it will only usher in a denser rain of arrows from the enemy.

Torches were lit in the darkness, like stars dancing in the night, and soon these stars gradually connected into lines and planes, and the spark of the stars evolved into a prairie fire in an instant!

At this time, Wei Chishun raised his head and saw the situation clearly, there was a small hill not far from the road, and the Bashu army was like a wave pouring down from this hill, and at the same time, in the darkness on both sides of the road, one after another faint and vague figures stood up, each of them held a crossbow arrow in their hands, constantly winding, pulling the trigger, and winding again.

The arrows continued to cut through the darkness, and the Northern Zhou soldiers fell in response.

Because it was marching in the dark, the formation of the Northern Zhou army was very tight, and almost all the arrows were harvested.

"Array, array!" The generals shouted loudly in a hurry, and even in the midst of the chaos, their voices would still stand out, and this would undoubtedly make them the primary target of the Bashu crossbowmen. The arrows kept grazing them, and a soldier named Northern Zhou was urged to spread out to the sides, and one shield after another was erected, barely blocking the arrows.

"Kill!" The large shield parted to the sides, and the sword and shield men roared out, and at the same time, the Northern Zhou crossbowmen also began to fight back.

Some of the Bashu crossbowmen who rushed in front were quickly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but the rest had a heart, and when they saw that the enemy had stabilized their positions, they immediately began to retreat, and at the same time, the Bashu infantry of the brigade had also rushed down the hillside and swept towards the Northern Zhou army!

"Shoot the arrows!" Wei Chishun got up a little embarrassed and shouted loudly, his voice was a little hoarse because he was in a hurry.

To tell the truth, the appearance of the enemy's ambush was indeed unexpected by Wei Chishun.

After Wei Chishun noticed that something was wrong with the camp, he could almost say that he ordered the withdrawal of the army as quickly as possible, and the scattered scouts did not find the enemy's movements, which gave Wei Chishun enough reason to believe that the enemy's reinforcements were still behind, as long as he could quickly retreat to Xiangyang City, then everything would still be safe.
