Chapter 892: Screams
These Northern Zhou soldiers were the detachment from Xiaoguan to Tianshui, and their march route was from Xiaoguan all the way south through Longxi, and along the Weishui River valley to the west. Because there is Liupan Mountain between Xiaoguan and Tianshui, if you want to go from Tianshui to Anding or Xiaoguan, you need to do so when Longshang is basically covered by ice and snow.
Therefore, this team of soldiers and horses thought that they could find a dangerous place in the Weishui River Valley, hold the key points, and block the road from Tianshui to the north. It's just that they ignored one thing, that is, the speed at which Changsun Sheng took Tianshui was too fast, and the Weishui River Valley was some distance away from Xiaoguan, but it was very close to Tianshui City.
When this army of soldiers and horses had not yet entered the Weishui River Valley, their whereabouts had actually fallen under the control of Hou Mi.
There are two thousand people on the other side, and Hou Mi only has five or six hundred scattered people, and there are more than 100 of them who are elite soldiers selected from various families, but this battleable soldier is really just "battleable". Hou Mi didn't expect them to take the lead, he just needed them to follow behind and help the momentum.
However, it turns out that these men from the northwest are at least physically strong.
Hou Mi, who arrived in the Weishui River Valley first, decisively seized the position on the hillside, and these private soldiers of the family were responsible for gathering the stones, and then when the Northern Zhou army rushed in stupidly, they used these stones to entertain them.
When a hundred people were divided into groups of two and began to push the stone down at the same time, the number was by no means small. Thinking about the fact that more than fifty large stones fell from the sky at once, this blow was fatal for the Northern Zhou army, which was already in a panic.
What's more, these stones were just the beginning, and Hou Mi led people along the road directly towards the panicked Northern Zhou army.
"Retreat, retreat!" The Northern Zhou general who led the team had already realized that something was wrong, and at this time, the arrows were whistling past him, and several Northern Zhou soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, which completely blocked the already narrow road at once.
On this narrow mountain road, the enemy rushed down the gentle slope in front of him, and the army was already in disarray, and on his side was the rocky riverbank, and there was really no way to retreat.
"Kill!" Hou Mi roared and threw himself into the crowd, raising his sword and slashing a Northern Zhou soldier who tried to stop him to the ground, while more Bashu soldiers followed closely, and even those Tianshui locals on the hillside Ding Zhuang mustered up the courage to rush down the winding mountain road.
When Hou Mi took them out of Tianshui, he said very clearly, all the merit calculation methods were the same as Li Xinchen's headquarters, so where did they still have the reason not to compete for the first. Li Xinchen's military exploits here were far richer than those of the local family, and now the enemy is even more in decline, and they certainly have nothing to fear when they take advantage of the victory to pursue the battle.
"Shoot the shot!" The general of the Northern Zhou Biao who led the team seemed to have discovered something, "There are not so many enemies, we have more than 2,000 people, and we can't be frightened by just a few hundred people!" ”
At this time, many Northern Zhou generals also came to their senses and hurriedly tried to stabilize their subordinates. And without the attack of the rocks, the crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could finally reluctantly deploy the array, and the arrows returned very decisively. After all, this has already involved their survival, so these soldiers did not hesitate.
Hou Mi suddenly felt the pressure increase, the arrows had already taken the lives of several soldiers in front of him, and Hou Mi crossed their corpses and rushed into the Northern Zhou army. Retreating in front of enemy crossbowmen is the worst option, especially in this narrow mountain road, where it is easy to become a live target for the enemy, so the best thing to do is to rush forward and wrench with the enemy who is still in chaos.
After all, this mountain road is really narrow, and no matter how much the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty run and shout, all they can control is only a few people around them.
When Hou Mi rushed to a Northern Zhou Dynasty lord and killed him by dividing him by two, the Northern Zhou army was completely difficult to maintain the most basic stability, and several war lords in the rear team took the lead and began to lead people along the road to run on a hillside not far behind, and the battle lords and generals in the front team looked at the companion who was thrown off the cliff by Hou Mi, and roughly knew what kind of fate would await them if they didn't leave at this time, so their actions did not stop at all.
It's just that compared to the rear team generals who can still walk with their subordinates, these front team generals just split the crowd and have to run away under the cover of a few cronies. The outcome has been decided, and if you take care of your army at this time, you will really have no place to die.
"Shoot the shot!" Fortunately, the few generals who fled in the rear still knew what they should do, and the remaining dozen or so crossbowmen were reluctantly organized and lined up along the hillside, and they didn't care that there were still their companions in the crowd fighting, which was a mess of arrows.
Hou Mi waved his shield to shield the arrows, and gritted his teeth and looked at the hillside, from here to the defense line reorganized by the Northern Zhou army was more than ten zhang away, and Hou Mi did not expect that these guys would be so shameless once they began to flee for their lives.
As there are fewer and fewer Northern Zhou soldiers around him who have not had time to run out, it is conceivable that Hou Mi's subordinates will definitely suffer great losses if they continue to fight. On this narrow mountain road, a burst of arrows came at it without discrimination. These elite troops under Hou Mi could not afford such losses.
"Mingjin retreats!" Although he was helpless, Hou Mi also had to hurry up and give this order. If the four hundred soldiers handed over to him by Li Xinchen lost too much, then he would have no way to explain to Li Xinchen, and I am afraid that Li Xinchen would not let him go easily.
The warlords and generals who led the team were obviously aware of this, and at the same time began to retreat, and the soldiers on the hillside on one side were also organized, and the few remaining stones were given to the Northern Zhou soldiers who had not yet had time to escape from this hellish battlefield.
The shield bearers rushed to the front of the line at the first moment of Mingjin's retreat, and the arrows hit the shields with a "puff puff", and they did not panic, but retreated step by step. At the same time, the crossbowmen in Hou's army also climbed the hillside and began to suppress the enemy's crossbowmen.
Obviously, the crossbowmen in the Hou Secret Army were much better than the crossbowmen in the Northern Zhou army, and soon the Northern Zhou crossbowmen were suppressed, and the Northern Zhou soldiers who fled with their backs to these Bashu crossbowmen screamed and fell with arrows.
The general of the Northern Zhou Biao, who led the team, realized that something was wrong, and also ordered the shield hand to step forward to cover, but after all, it was still a beat slower, and in this short period of time, it was enough for the Bashu crossbowmen to have a lot of gains. Rows of Northern Zhou soldiers screamed and fell, and when the sound of the fighting gradually dissipated, the screams echoed in the empty river valley, chilling everyone.
