Chapter 238: Retreat and Escape

For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Congyi didn't want to see the king finish his army, otherwise even if he won the war with the Morley family, without an army, his royal power would be divided by the other four major families again.

At present, a stable country that pays tribute to the Great Song Dynasty is what the Great Song Dynasty needs, and the country's dealings with the state value integrity, and the country where the king's words are useless is only bad for the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no benefit.

Don't talk about the future, let's talk about the present, they won this battle, if the king has no army, he still has no right to speak, and the previous agreements and promises cannot be fulfilled, then Xuanwei's military spending is all in vain.

Therefore, this battle must not only be won, but also easily won.

Yang Congyi did not tell the king of Srivijaya about the plan to ambush the valley before, for fear that he would have people from the Morley family under him and leak the news, so he only asked him to wait for the whole army to be notified. Now that the enemy is only half a day's way from the valley here, it is time to inform him to rush out of the valley and block the exit.

Immediately, Yang Congyi sent someone to inform the king, asking him to take his army to the mouth of the valley to wait for the rebel army of the Morry family.

Everything was arranged, Yang Congyi ordered the Xuanwei army and the reserve army to lie in ambush on the hills on both sides, wait for all the enemy troops to enter the valley, listen to his orders, and then start the attack.

This plan, they planned for five whole days, and after destroying the 100 ships of the Morley family, the Xuanwei army ambushed all the troops that could be mobilized around this valley, just to teach the Morley family a good lesson here.

The first step in this battle is to ask Xue Wang to lead the enemy into the valley, if the enemy army is recognized, the task cannot be completed, this battle is afraid that it will not be so smooth, I hope Xue Wang, who has ten years of combat experience, can go smoothly.

At this time, there are three poles on the sun, and it is estimated that there will be more than an hour, and it will be noon.

Xue Wang led a battalion of 500 Xuanwei troops out of 20 miles, and ambushed the Morley family's army on the road to the south to occupy Bei, calculating that the enemy should also arrive.

"Brothers, when you see the enemy for a while, you will kill me fiercely, no one is allowed to run without the order to retreat, don't be too slow to be caught up by them when you run, and don't run too fast, and leave the enemy too far behind, you understand?" Xue Wang shouted. This is the first time he has led a battalion of troops to carry out a mission alone, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise these 500 people will be torn apart by 30,000 enemies in the blink of an eye, and all of them will die, and the mission will definitely not be completed.

"Big brother, what do you mean by that? Are we going to be caught up by them, or are we not going to catch up? A captain asked.

Xue Wang glared at him and said, "You must not be caught up when you run, if you are caught up, you will die, what else can you run." To put it simply, it's to get them to follow us in the ass and watch us run in front and they chase after us. For a while, you must listen to my orders, let you fight, give me a hard blow, let you go, and withdraw quickly, without delay. Whoever makes a mistake, whether he dies or lives in the end, I can't get around him! ”

"Big brother, don't worry, you let us come forward, we will never retreat, and we will not embarrass you." All the captains were selected by him from the veterans, they all went to the battlefield, they all fought with the Jin people, they were stained with blood, they were injured, and they had nothing to fear in the face of the enemies of Nanyang, could the enemies of Nanyang be more powerful than the Jin people? Naturally, they didn't believe it.

"Report! The vanguard of the enemy is already two miles away, and it will be there in a quarter of an hour or so! As he spoke, the spies who had detected the whereabouts of the enemy army reported back.

"Okay, let's go back to you and ambush you, and wait for my order."

Xue Wang gave an order, and the ten captains returned to the forest to hide.

"You retreat five miles, keep a distance of five miles from us at all times, and send someone back in time to report the enemy's movements to General Zhao!"

The spy received the order, quickly turned and left, and retreated five miles.

There is a fork in the road five miles away, one left and one right, all the way to the capital Zhanbei, all the way to the valley fifteen miles away, the spies are guarding here, Xue Wangcheng or not, they can deliver reliable news to the rear at any time.

A battalion with bows and arrows quietly lay in ambush in the woods, quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy's vanguard.

In the woods, after a quarter of an hour of unbearable heat, Xue Wang, who was ambushed at the front of the line, finally waited for the vanguard of the enemy army.

I saw that the enemy army in the vanguard was covered in black, with a piece of sackcloth around his waist, and from a distance, they were almost all over*. They held spears or knives in their hands, and their weapons were not uniform, and it was difficult to say what their combat effectiveness was.

If the prison guards are right, these people should have been smeared with tree sap, and their swords would be difficult to hurt. But it's not really a sword that hurts, you have to try it to know.

The enemy army marched very fast, and in the blink of an eye it was a hundred paces away.

Seeing that the time had come, Xue Wang raised the Song flag and shouted: "Brothers, kill!" ”

After shouting, he jumped, jumped into the middle of the road, stood the Song flag in the middle of the road, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at the front of the enemy.

As soon as the ambushed Xuanwei Army heard the military order, it immediately jumped out of the forest, occupied the road one zhang wide, shouted the word "kill" in its mouth, opened its bow and set up arrows, and with a "buzz" sound, a round of arrows rained down on the heads of the enemy's vanguard troops.

The enemy troops, who were marching with their heads down, suddenly saw a group of strangely dressed people jump out of the road in front of them, and shoot arrows at them, and the vanguard suddenly stopped, and before they could figure out what was going on, a rain of arrows came at them.

It was too late, it was too late, Xue Wang saw that he was struggling to hit the enemy in the chest, and the next scene simply made his jaw drop!

I saw that the powerful arrow, which did not penetrate half an inch of the enemy's body, bounced off the man's chest and flew aside!

I couldn't believe my eyes, and this surprise made him forget to shoot the second arrow.

The next scene directly stunned him and the Xuanwei army who stood in the front row and could directly see the enemy, because of the rain of arrows, hundreds of arrows, except for one that hit the enemy's eye, none of the rest of the sharp arrows shot into the enemy's body, all of them bounced off their bodies and fell to the ground.

Invulnerable? What the hell is this! Xuanwei Jun, who saw this scene, was shocked, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, is it a ghost on the other side?

"Kill!"

Xue Wang is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, and immediately recovered from the shock, what Yang Jianjun said was indeed right, these people are invulnerable to swords and invulnerability.

With a shout, the stunned Xuanwei army immediately set up arrows and opened their bows, and then shot a rain of arrows at the enemy.

They hoped that they would be dazzled by the sharp arrows that bounced off the enemy's body just now, but when the second round of arrow rain also failed to reach the enemy's body, they were completely stunned.

Is the other party still human? How will this battle be fought? The Xuanwei army in front of him wavered.

"Brothers, kill!" Xue Wang shouted again, and an arrow shot at the head of an enemy.

The sharp arrow was castrated like lightning, and flew away against the enemy's scalp, only to hear a scream, and the man threw away his spear, fell to the ground with his head in his hands, and wailed incessantly.

At the sound of an order, the third round of arrows of the Xuanwei army flew towards the enemy again.

The sharp arrow touched the body, the sharp arrow landed, and the enemy could be seen grinning, but no one was killed or injured.

The vanguard who was blocked by the people who suddenly jumped out, and the vanguard who paused, finally understood that these strange people in front of them were the Great Song people they were going to kill.

I only heard a strange scream, and I saw that the enemy's vanguard troops raised their legs and rushed straight towards the Xuanwei army, still roaring and screaming in their mouths.

Seeing the enemy rushing over, Xue Wang knew that the enemy had understood their identity, and immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”

The Xuanwei army, which had been ordered, turned around and left, and hurriedly ran back and retreated.

The rapid march that had been training at Changguo Island for several months finally came in handy, and the Xuanwei army was flying under their feet, running for their lives, forgetting Xue Wang's previous words. The enemy's sharp arrows are difficult to hurt, it's terrible, it's not an opponent at all, what can you do if you don't escape?

The enemy is not good at stubble, the speed of pursuit is very fast, always maintaining a distance of about 100 paces, and it is impossible to pull the distance between the two sides at all.

The sergeant of the Xuanwei Army, who was at the end, happened to look back and saw that the enemy was not far behind him, and his legs were immediately weak in fright.

Encountering such an enemy, although Xue Wang was also nervous, he still remembered their mission, so he temporarily stayed behind and broke the back, casually observing and judging whether the enemy army was fooled.

Xuanwei Jun was nervous for a while, and they fled too neatly, it didn't look like they were fleeing in embarrassment, their bows and arrows were still on their backs, and they all forgot to lose something.

As soon as Xue Wang's hand was loosened, he lost the bow and arrow in his hand first, he didn't take it at all when the previous flag retreated, and as soon as he lost the bow and arrow, there was nothing on his body, and it was really easy to escape.

"Lose something, run faster!" Xue Wang shouted, pulled a soldier who was about to fall behind him, and said to him urgently: "Throw away the bow and arrows, run quickly." ”

When the Xuanwei army behind heard the reminder order, he immediately threw away the weapon in his hand without any resistance. The enemy's arrows are not harmed, what is the use of them still keeping weapons, it is better to flee for their lives.

Hearing the order, the Xuanwei army quickly threw away the weapon in his hand, and his body was light, and the speed of escape suddenly increased a lot.

Xue Wang looked back and saw that the enemy's vanguard was gradually pulled away by some distance, and it was already two hundred steps away, but the enemy still followed closely behind, biting hard, if they caught up, this Xuanwei army would be finished.

In the run, Xuanweijun ran a distance of five miles in less than a quarter of an hour.

As soon as Xue Wang saw the three strange trees entangled on the side of the road, he immediately sped up and rushed to the front of the team, and the intersection was not far away.

"Throw things slowly, don't finish them!" Xue Wang rushed to the middle of the team, but fortunately, most of the team in front of him was too nervous, and they didn't hear the previous order, and they still brought bows and arrows.

Within a hundred zhang distance from the intersection, after dropping some bows and arrows one after another, the vanguard of the Xuanwei army arrived at the intersection first, only to see them running towards the wider fork on the left, and the bows and arrows were thrown to the ground.

The follow-up troops, led by Xue Wang, ran towards the narrower path on the right.

When all the Xuanwei troops behind them ran to the right, the sergeant who had taken the road on the left immediately turned around and returned to the three-way intersection to keep up with the retreating large army.

The enemy army arrived at the junction, and the Xuanwei army had disappeared.

Where to chase? This is a problem for them, and it is also a problem for Xuanwei Army.
