Chapter 291: The whole army is encircled

Leaving behind about 300 dead bodies of Li Yue who fell to the ground, the two battalions of Xuanwei troops quickly moved westward one after the other, and in less than half a pillar of incense, they once again ambushed in the weeds a hundred steps away from the road.

After another half of the incense, Yao Chang saw another group of people in front of him walking unhurriedly in the direction where they were. When you get closer, you can find that their clothing and weapons are the same as the three hundred or so people not long ago, all of them are Li Yue people who have gone all the way east without encountering obstacles.

The Xuanwei Army, which already had combat experience, did not need Yao Chang to give another order this time, they all held their breath and quietly waited for the enemy to enter their attack range.

A moment later, the enemy who had taken the lead was already in front of Yao Chang's bow and arrow, but his bow was in his left hand and his arrow was in his right hand, and he was not ready to attack, as before, he would not attack until the last of the enemy in this group came in front of him.

After a battle, the ambushed Xuanwei army was no longer nervous, calm, and waited for the enemy in front of them to enter the encirclement.

Two hundred and ninety-five, two hundred and ninety-six, two hundred and ninety-seven, two hundred and ninety-eight, the last person, the two hundred and ninety-ninety-nine, walked slowly until they walked directly in front of Yao Chang.

Yao Chang stretched out his bow and aimed at the neck of the last man.

After the man had taken five more steps, he had a right hand, and flew a hundred paces away from the sharp arrow, and was impartially in the neck, and the man fell to the ground immediately.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Yao Chang gave an order, and the same plot was staged again, with a slight difference, at this time, the Xuanwei army was not nervous, and when they opened their bows and arrows, they had time to aim, and when a round of arrows rained down, hundreds of people fell to the ground with arrows.

When they were suddenly attacked, the enemy was equally panicked, and when they reacted and raised their swords to look for the enemy who attacked them, a second round of arrows arrived, and hundreds of people fell to the ground.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the enemy finally saw where their opponent was, screamed strangely, and rushed towards the Xuanwei army on the north side.

But before they could take ten steps, a third round of arrows came head-on, and at the same time, there was also a rain of arrows behind them.

The sharp arrow fell, and the audience fell silent.

More than 300 enemies, ambushed by a thousand Xuanwei troops, failed to counterattack, and all died on both sides of the unobstructed road in a few breaths.

"Clean up the battlefield and remove the dead!" This time the order is different.

The herald quickly passed the military order out.

Soon after the military order was issued, thousands of Xuanwei troops on the north and south sides were seen running quickly towards the main road, and one of the men and horses lifted the corpses of the fallen and killed to a distance of twenty steps from both sides of the road, threw them into the weeds, and covered them with grass, while the other group of men and horses covered the blood stains left on the road with mud or grass.

In the middle of the incense, the traces of the enemy on the road were cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

The two battalions of Xuanwei retreated to the north and south sides, and continued to ambush the next group of Li Yue people who marched here.

These two battles were fought without pressure, and many people had already ended the battle before they could meet the enemy, which was somewhat unenjoyable. Among them, Pan Cheng was the most unhappy, he was ambushed at the end of the team, two ambushes in a row, he shot an arrow, the enemy who was hit by the arrow still died with several arrows, it has nothing to do with him, but since there is a division of labor, this time you can't kill the enemy with your own hands, next time you have to choose the right offensive position.

Half a quarter of an hour later, another group of enemy troops appeared in Yao Chang's field of vision, this was the third group.

Quietly waiting for the enemy army to enter the ambush, the officers and men of the Xuanwei Army no longer had much excitement, in their opinion, what passed in front of them was not the enemy, but a walking corpse.

The enemy who entered the ambush circle first did not notice anything unusual, and walked slowly as before, stepping on sometimes soft dirt and sometimes stumbling weeds, step by step.

When the last person walked up to Yao Chang, he raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

With a "buzz", the sharp arrow left the string, and in the next moment, it flew over a hundred paces and plunged into the enemy's neck.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In the same battle, one round of arrow rain, two rounds of arrow rain, after hundreds of enemies fell to the ground, when the remaining enemies rushed head-on to the north side, the third and fourth rounds of arrow rain followed, and there was no longer a standing enemy in the ambush circle.

The battle ended as quickly as the last, and each of the Xuanwei soldiers drew their bows three times, fired three arrows, and the field fell silent.

"Retreat one mile and continue the ambush!"

After an order was given, Yao Chang quickly moved one mile west with the Xuanwei army on the north side and lurked on the north side of the road.

The Xuanwei army on the south side also advanced one mile west under Pan Cheng's order and ambushed a hundred steps away on the south side of the main road.

The 1,000 Xuanwei troops lay quietly in the grass and continued to wait for the arrival of the fourth group of enemies.

A mile away, Yang Congyi watched another group of enemies move east along the main road, but still did not give the order to move.

Su Zhong sent someone to ask when to attack, and his reply was that the time was not right and he continued to wait.

According to Zhang Liu's report on the ambush situation in the rear, Yang Congyi temporarily decided to wait for all the enemies to cross the river before launching a general attack to completely wipe out this group of enemies on the east bank of the river, and not let go of any enemy, so as not to leak the whereabouts of the Xuanwei army, which is not conducive to the follow-up battle.

When he learned that Yao Chang and Pan Cheng successfully destroyed the two groups of enemy troops and continued to ambush the third group, Yang Congyi was completely relieved, he knew that they had won the first battle, but he wanted to win easily and heartily, so he ordered Su Zhongying to temporarily hold his troops still, lest this fierce general who blindly rushed to disturb the enemy army crossing the river.

And the Luo Cong battalion on the other side of the river is acting with the Su Zhong battalion, once Su Zhong starts to act, the Luo Cong battalion will definitely rush out to attack the enemy, so that the enemy finds an ambush, it is very likely to escape and retreat, it is not an easy thing to pursue Li Yueren, and it is enough to disrupt the follow-up ambush plan by escaping a few enemies.

The safest way to do this was to wait for the last enemy to board the boat and reach the other side of the river, and then Su Chong's battalion rushed directly from south to north to occupy the river bank and block the enemy's retreat.

Seeing that the fourth group of enemies was moving towards the east and slowly entering the ambush circle of Yao Chang and Pan Cheng, Yang Congyi quietly withdrew westward with a hundred people, and the last group of enemy troops should have almost finished crossing the river.

Before retreating to the west, he gave Yao Chang and Pan Cheng an order: after taking the enemy, quickly encircle it to the west.

Yang Congyi took a hundred people and quickly moved to a place one mile away from the bank of the ferry river.

On the east bank of the river, quite a few enemy troops have gathered, and a few small boats are still transporting back and forth, while on the west bank of the river it seems that there are still quite a few people, and it is not known when they will all cross the river.

"Quickly go and tell Yao Chang and Pan Cheng that they can ambush two miles away, and they will not be surrounded for the time being." Yang Congyi was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but close the siege too quickly, make a mistake, and expose the whereabouts of the Xuanwei army, so he had to let Zhang Liu run again, so that the two battalions behind could hide their tracks again.

Four groups of enemy troops have passed, about 1,200 or so, and it is said that there should not be so many enemy troops on the west bank of the river, is it because the number of enemy troops is wrong?

It is not impossible that this is not impossible, the enemy army marches slowly, and in this way of marching in detachments, the last team is too far behind to be observed, and it is reasonable to miss them. I just hope that I don't miss too much, otherwise with their current encirclement of two miles, I am afraid that it will not be enough to take them all before the enemy discovers them, and at that time, if Luo Cong can't adapt to the situation and surround all the enemy troops at the ferry from the rear of Huashi Town, this battle will not be complete.

The fifth group of enemy troops left the river bank and came east, and the boats in the river returned to the west bank.

Yang Congyi glanced at the fifth group of enemy troops passing in front of him, and then raised his eyes to look at the other side of the river, now he only cares about how many enemies have not crossed the river, those who have not crossed the river will flee, and those who come to the east bank of the river, no matter whether they walk three miles and five miles, or one or two miles, will eventually turn into dead corpses and turn into dirt.

Boatloads of enemies crossed the river to the east bank, and in a short time, hundreds of people gathered on the shore, and the figures on the west bank gradually thinned out, and another trip should be able to transport them all.

At this moment, Yang Congyi heard a few screams from the east, the sound was not high, but it also made his heart skip a beat, and his heart hung up.

However, when he saw that the enemy on the river bank did not move, his heart was relieved, he practiced Taoist internal strength, his ears and eyes were clear, his ears were good enough to hear the sound of a mile away, but the enemy might not be able to hear the screams of two miles away.

After another moment, after the last enemy had crossed the river, the boat did not return to the west bank of the river.

The time has come to completely annihilate the enemy army, and Yang Congyi immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army is encircled!" ”

Immediately, the trumpeter beside him blew a piercing horn, and the sound spread for two miles, lasting for two breaths before stopping.

Not long after, Yang Congyi saw that Su Zhongying, who had been lying in ambush in the jungle in the south, rushed out of the forest and rushed all the way to the north, and Pan Chengying, who had completed the ambush task in the east, also appeared in sight.

The enemy troops, who had gathered on the banks of the river and formed their formations, heard this strange noise, and although there was a commotion, after a brief cessation of the sound of the trumpet, they continued to form their formations, not paying attention to this strange and short cry.

After the half-pillar incense time, Su Zhong's battalion appeared one mile away from the enemy's south, Pan Cheng's battalion appeared half a mile east of the enemy's army, and Yang Congyi was stuck in the southeast with a hundred people, and he also arrived at the enemy's half-mile land, only Yao Chang's battalion could not be seen in the north.

After forming a formation on the riverbank, the enemy, who was preparing to march eastward, suddenly found that they were surrounded, and immediately began to panic.

But with a loud order, this last group of enemy troops quickly calmed down, immediately scattered the column, backed against the river bank, and arranged a defensive formation.

Pan Cheng rushed into a hundred paces first, and shot an enemy with an arrow from his bow.

"Kill!"

There was a shout, and then the Xuanwei army, who followed, fired his bow a hundred paces away after a slight pause.

Sharp arrows fell on the enemy's heads, and they had no shields in their hands, and many of them were immediately wounded by the arrows, and several people in the front row fell to the ground and died.

As more Xuanwei troops arrived, the slaughter began again, and soon the enemy left behind hundreds of corpses, some of them rushing to cross the river, and most of them fled north.

But where would the Xuanwei army give them a chance to escape, Su Zhongying chased to the river bank, and aimed at the enemy who was still rowing desperately in the middle of the river was a few rounds of arrow rain, killing them all in the boat in an instant.
