Seeing that the soldiers who were scratched by bamboo arrows and wooden arrows even scratched a little bit of skin fell to the ground, and their faces were strange, Yuan Yao quickly noticed that something was wrong, and said loudly: "The arrows are poisonous, be careful!" ”

Needless to say more about Yuan Yao, some sharp-eyed soldiers also understood that this arrow must have been poisoned after seeing the death of their companions, otherwise it would be impossible to scratch a little skin and die like this, and that kind of death was obviously poisoned to death.

Yuan Yao turned over and dismounted under the escort of Qi Ji and Qin Yi, hiding in the center of the army battle array, in front of a pile of poisoned arrows, Yuan Yao did not dare to hold it up, this one was accidentally shot by the arrow, even if it did not hit the vital point, the poison on the arrow alone was enough to kill Yuan Yao.

Even if Yuan Yao's cultivation has reached the Yun Jin Realm and the Spirit Consciousness Realm, the life level has evolved greatly, and the anti-toxicity has been greatly enhanced, but this poison is not easy to deal with at a glance, and Yuan Yao has no interest in testing the poison himself.

Seeing the surrounding Yuan Shujun soldiers fall to the ground one after another under the attack of these bamboo arrows and wooden arrows, Yuan Yao's eyes were full of anger, and the long knife in his hand was trembling by Yuan Yao's hand.

After the rain of arrows formed by these bamboo arrows and wooden arrows stopped, some barbarians armed with simple swords rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides, with all kinds of strange patterns on their bodies, basically covering their bodies with animal skins, but these animal skins knew at a glance that they were the fur of some mountain and forest demon beasts, and their defensive power was not necessarily worse than gold and iron.

"Array, counterattack!"

Although he didn't know why these barbarians would lead their troops to attack his own group of soldiers and horses, Yuan Yao was not a person who suffered a loss and swallowed it in his mouth, and his long knife shook and shouted angrily.

Under Yuan Yao's order, the soldiers of Yuan Shujun hurriedly lined up to defend, the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields in front of them to resist the attacks of these barbarians, and the pikemen waited for the opportunity to hand out their spears under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, inflicting fatal damage on these barbarians.

Under the poisonous arrow just now, I don't know how many Yuan Shujun soldiers died, seeing that their former comrades fell in front of him like this, Yuan Shujun's soldiers were furious at the moment, and the speed of the attack was faster, although the cooperation was a little messy, but it was enough for these barbarians who basically did not cooperate.

An hour later, these barbarians still did not break through the defense line laid by Yuan Shujun, but left a lot of corpses in front of Yuan Shujun's array. But even so, these barbarians did not retreat, because their king was watching from behind them, and if they retreated at this time, what awaited them was not only death, but also the ridicule of the rest of the tribe, and their wives and children would be ostracized and oppressed by the rest of the tribe because of their retreat. And if they die in battle, then they will be named warriors, and their relatives will be respected by the tribe and will live well.

In a mountain forest outside the battle area, a burly man with a strange pattern on his face held a strange weapon, and a piece of animal skin wrapped his body, but it could not stop the fierce aura on his body.

This big man is the king of this group of barbarians, and he is also the leader of this ambush of Yuan Shu's army.

However, the current situation is obviously a bit beyond the expectations of this big man, he somewhat underestimated the combat power of these Han people, except for their initial poisoned arrow attack that killed some unsuspecting Han soldiers, the next battle fell into a very unfavorable situation for their tribal warriors from the beginning. With this well-trained cooperation and military formation, the Han people stubbornly blocked the offensive of their tribal warriors, and even to kill a Han soldier, they needed to pay the lives of three or even four tribal warriors.

"Retreat, king!" A somewhat thin man beside the big man walked up to the burly man and said softly.

The burly man naturally knew that if they continued to fight like this, their tribal warriors would lose all their lives here, and this was not the situation they wanted to see. If you lose a large number of tribal warriors here, it will be even more difficult to survive in the mountains and forests.

Although he didn't want to give such an order, the burly man knew that he had no choice, and with the battle loss ratio between the tribesmen and the Han soldiers under their command, it would not be long before their tribesmen would collapse on their own, and the situation would inevitably be even worse at that time.

After the burly man gave the order, a rapid whistle sounded, and after hearing these whistles, the barbarian warriors who were originally attacking Yuan Shu's army began to retreat, and at the same time took away the weapons of their comrades who had been killed in battle, as for the corpses, they could not take them away now.

After the barbarian soldiers retreated, neither Yuan Yao nor Pan Feng gave the order to pursue, but ordered people to start cleaning up the battlefield and gather the corpses of the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army who had been killed in battle.

After Yuan Yao and Pan Feng met, they both saw the anger in each other's eyes.

"General Pan, it is imperative to find a place to camp first, otherwise these barbarians may come to harass us at night."

Pan Feng nodded, although he was eager to rush out and kill these barbarians who were ambushing them now, but he also knew that this mountain forest was the home of these barbarians, and they had no advantage at all in fighting in these places, and they would only be played around by these barbarians.

After cleaning the battlefield and finding a place with a water source to set up camp, Yuan Yao, Pan Fengyiji, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others all gathered together, and it was obvious that everyone's faces were not good. Although the barbarians retreated in the end, the losses on the side of Yuan Shu's army were not small, and now there are only 4,000 people in Yuan Shu's army who still have the ability to fight, and the losses in this ambush by the barbarians are even greater than when attacking Suocheng.

"Wuximan, it looks like he's here to find death!" Yuan Yao's eyes contained anger, there was no need to doubt the identity of this group of barbarians who ambushed them at all, in this place of Wuling, there was no one else who had the strength and courage to ambush them except Wuxi Man.

Wuxi Man, also known as Wuling Man, is a collective name for the barbarian tribes active in Wuling County and even the surrounding areas. It is called Wuxi Man because of the five streams of Xiongxi, Xi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi in the land of Wuling, and it has always been a major trouble in Jingzhou.

Yuan Yao originally wanted to find a way to solve this Wuxi Man after taking the land of the four counties of Jingnan, but now it seems that it will not work, Wuxi Man actually dares to ambush them, and if he doesn't give them a little color, maybe Wuxi Man will ride on the head of Yuan Shujun in the future, and for the stability of Wuling and even Jingnan in the future, it is time for this Wuxi Man to solve it.
