Han Gang immediately realized that it was impossible to withdraw from the entrance at this moment. There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the rear blocking the official road outside the ambush circle, and it is impossible to make room for a short time. Even if there is space to evacuate, the narrow entrance to the official road is also choking the throat of the soldiers and horses to exit, and the steep slope and thorn bushes near the left make the soldiers and horses can only return along the official road The original way, and there is no possibility of taking a shortcut at all. Relying only on the entrance of the official road that can only pass three or four horses at a time, under the blow of the opponent's arrow rain, even if it can finally retreat, I am afraid that most of the casualties will be killed.

Han Gang swung his long knife and struck the arrows that were being shot, thinking quickly. As the leading general in the army, he must make quick decisions.

"Herald! Capture the hillsides on both sides and kill these Liao dogs without leaving a piece of armor! Han Gang shouted loudly. The soldiers and horses in the confusion immediately had a goal of action when they received this order, and the generals began to immediately organize the soldiers and horses to attack the gentle slopes on both sides.

I have to say that Han Gang's order was not a random order in a panic, but his choice after quickly judging the situation. The slopes on both sides are gentle, and the hills on both sides are not tall and steep, so it is better to attack than to be beaten passively. As long as they rush to the bottom of the hill, they can no longer attack with bows and arrows, and they are forced to fight hand-to-hand. And this is exactly what the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou are not afraid of. The Liao people were strong in cavalry and archery, not by force. In terms of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty are much stronger than them, which is by no means a lie. The Liao people used their mobile superiority to attack and harass from a long distance, and they did not engage with their opponents head-on at all, because they knew that once they confronted the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, they would be inferior in terms of martial arts and armor and blades. The Liao people will not do anything about attacking the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings.

If they can rush to the bottom of the hills, the Liao people who are in ambush will inevitably flee. It's a good way to counter ambushes. It may come at a cost, but it's better than being a live target all the time here.

However, Han Gang's move was exactly the trick of the Liao people, and when the 8,000 cavalry quickly began to charge towards the slopes on both sides, they heard the sound of a rumbling collapse, and the hundreds of Great Zhou cavalry who had just taken a dozen steps out of the official road suddenly disappeared in an instant. In the smoke and dust, the screams and wails came from the sound of the dust, and the terrible and terrifying screams made people's scalps tingle.

"What's going on?" Han Gang roared.

Before anyone else could answer him, the scene in front of him had already answered his question. Dozens of horsemen suddenly stumbled in front of them, and they were planted into a deep pit with men and horses. The front hooves of the war horse under Han Gang's crotch had already stepped into the air, but fortunately, Han Gang reacted quickly, lifted the reins sharply, and the war horse man stood up, turned half a circle, and the front hooves fell on the ground on the side head, which avoided the fate of falling into the pit.

"Trap! Fooled! This thought flashed through Han Gang's heart like lightning.

There was dust around him, screaming and screaming, and there were constantly cavalry stepping on him

The empty pit fell. Through the yellow smoke, you can see the situation in the pit in front of you. It was a large pit with a radius of several zhang and a depth of several zhang. The fallen soldiers and horses are entangled together, and you can clearly see the foot-long spikes that do not go up in the pit, dense and terrifying. The fallen centaur was pierced through the body by spikes, and the flesh was broken at the lightest, and the belly was pierced and nailed to the spikes. Everyone wailed and struggled, and the horses kicked and screamed as if they were in hell.

A frustrating sense of powerlessness and fear welled up in my heart. At this time, Han just now truly realized that the Liao people's ambush plan was a well-planned conspiracy. The ambush was a complete calculation, and they were prepared in every way. Judging from the situation in front of them, these craters on the hillside were dug with insight into the fact that they would order an attack on the hillside after being attacked. It is to take advantage of this psychology of myself. The purpose of this is to prevent your own men and horses from attacking the ambushed archers. These traps will keep the archers safe, allowing them to release their arrows without being attacked. Everything was calculated by the Liao.

The pit continued to fall, and the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty continued to fall into the pit. If you fall into it, you will either die or be injured, and you will not be able to climb up for a while. There was a rain of arrows overhead, and the danger under his feet was one step at a time, and the army was in chaos, and the death toll soared rapidly. In less than a cup of tea, the casualties caused by the trap and the arrows have reached 4,000. There were corpses everywhere, wounded people everywhere, horses neighing and scurrying everywhere. The Great Zhou cavalry had already collapsed.

"General Han, it's not feasible to attack the mountain, you have to think of another idea, otherwise...... We're all going to die here today. One of the lieutenants shouted with a crying voice.

Han Gangyan didn't know that this was already a dead place, he frowned and thought, and then gave the third order.

"All brothers, stop attacking the mountain, follow me along the official road to the north, and rush out of the dead place." Han Gang yelled.

Han Gang is worthy of being an experienced leader. At such a time, ordinary people are afraid that they have long been lost and have no opinions. But he quickly figured it out in the chaos. The order to rush out of the official road to the north may seem incredible, but it is the best choice at the moment. Unable to retreat, and blocked by a trap and unable to attack the enemy on the hillside, rushing forward is the only option. Moreover, Han Gang sent someone to explore the road, proving that there were no pits on the official road, and there were no soldiers and horses of the Liao State on the roads within a certain range of miles ahead. This shows that the road ahead is open, and it is likely to be a living road. Perhaps going north is an unwise choice to break away from the larger forces, but compared to the current situation, it is actually really wise.

There was no other choice, and the soldier's only hope was to follow the crowd. Regardless of whether General Han's decision was right or wrong, they could only obey orders. in

Yes, everyone turned back to the official road, and only a moment later, the remaining more than 6,000 cavalry began to charge against the flying springs in the sky. Everyone knows that it is a matter of life and death, and if you rush out, you may live, and if you can't rush out, you will definitely die. Everyone gritted their teeth and shouted, their faces hideous. They had no time to care about the falling men around them, and they didn't have any fear, because it was useless.

The Liao archers also significantly strengthened their shooting, and they were poured down in a puff, bringing extremely painful casualties to the Great Zhou cavalry. After the rear was out of range of the bow and arrows, the front came into the range of the new archers who were lying in ambush. In short, no part of this ambush terrain is safe.

In just six or seven hundred paces, thousands of soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou cavalry fell on the way to charge. But the remaining 5,000 cavalry finally rushed to the exit of Beiguan Road. The north exit is narrow, but it is several feet wider than the south exit. It was this difference of a few feet that allowed the cavalry to rush out of the dead more quickly. The rain of arrows in the rear was left behind. When no bow or arrow could pose a threat to the cavalry, it was a sign that the army was out of danger for the time being.

Han Gang and the others didn't dare to take it lightly, and still galloped forward for two miles, making sure that there were no pursuers in the rear, so they let out a long breath and relaxed a little. In fact, the archers who were ambushed in the rear were all Liao infantry, and they could not catch up, and they would never dare to pursue. Once Han Gang and the others broke out of the ambush circle, they were afraid that they would have to hurry up and evacuate. Because the deeds have been exposed, if the Great Zhou Brigade arrives, it will be them who will suffer.

Han Gang and the others were frightened for a moment and slowed down their horses. Han Gang stood still and looked at the cavalry behind him, and saw that they were all depressed and discouraged. Many were wounded, covered in blood, and their bodies were lying on horseback, like the walking dead. Of course, most people are happy in their hearts. It's just that the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe is not worth celebrating, because there are only 4,000 of the more than 10,000 cavalry left, and the panic and panic of Shicai are still difficult to calm.

Han Gang coughed, and was about to soothe the soldiers. However, he was interrupted by a long horn. Everyone looked at the sound in horror, but saw countless black dots emerging in front of them and even between the undulating hills left and right. Soon, it was a black spot all over the mountains, and it was the Liao cavalry all over the mountains.

Han Gang's heart was cold, it turned out that the ambush of the archers was only the first wave of ambushes. The cavalry here is the last resort. All the Great Zhou soldiers and horses who escaped being shot by the archers would throw themselves into the net and eventually fall into the encirclement of the Liao cavalry. Judging from the visual inspection alone, there are more than 40,000 or 50,000 Liao cavalry in the mountains and wilderness. The Liao people mobilized such a large number of soldiers and horses to set up an ambush here, which can be said to be inevitable. The general of the Liao army seems to have planned all the endings, and every step is under his control. Now that the 4,000 cavalry had nowhere to go, they looked around in panic and did not know what to do.
