The vanguard pursued to the junction, only to see the bow and arrow lost at the fork in the road on the right, and as seen on the road before, without any other consideration or stop, they chased straight along the left avenue.

Seeing the pursuers running to the left avenue and heading straight for Zhanbei, the spies who were hiding in the distance to observe the enemy's situation were anxious. The enemy can't be lured, and the Xuanwei army is afraid that it will be defeated this time!

"Hurry back and tell General Zhao and Yang Jianjun that the enemy didn't lead over, and they went to Zhanbei!" The squad leader immediately ordered the spies to hurry back to clarify the situation here, so that the general and the overseers could prepare early.

The spy next to him was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard the team leader say, "Slow! Wait for now. ”

When the spy looked back, he saw that the enemy army, which had been moving fast, stopped at the fork in the road, as if he had found some clues.

After a few moments, the enemy turned to the left trail to catch up.

"Hurry up and report to the general and the prison army, the enemy has passed!"

As soon as the squad leader's words fell, the spy rushed out and ran straight in the direction of the valley where the Xuanwei army was ambushed, and the speed was not known how many times faster than the enemy troops running on the trail.

Xue Wang ran for a while with a battalion of Xuanwei troops, and when he saw that the enemy had not caught up, he slightly reduced the speed of retreat. He was a little worried that if the enemy did not catch up and the task of attracting the enemy army could not be completed, then the Xuanwei army would be in great trouble, and it was likely that the entire army would be annihilated, and he could not afford this responsibility.

However, his worries were unnecessary, and he had just slowed down for a while, when he heard the Xuanwei soldiers behind him suddenly shout: "Run!" The enemy is catching up! ”

Xue Wang was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to howl twice to celebrate.

"Run, run!" Xue Wang stopped, stood on the side of the road, and kept urging the passing soldiers.

After a while, he fell to the back of the line again, looked back and saw that he had just relaxed for a while, and the enemy was chasing closer, although he could not see anyone, but judging from the strange cries of the enemy, it would not exceed fifty zhang away, and he was almost following behind their buttocks, and if he stopped for a while, he would definitely be overtaken.

How much the enemy hates them, desperately chasing after them, they are chasing much tighter than the gold thieves back then.

"If you want to survive, run quickly, don't fall behind!" Running and running, Xue Wang suddenly began to urge, because he clearly felt that the enemy's pursuit was faster, and the distance between the enemy and them was constantly narrowing, which shocked him.

The Xuanwei army trained for several months, and had to run thirty or forty miles a day, but it couldn't outrun the enemy! Are they all monkeys?

It is terrible to not be caught up by the enemy, and the enemy cannot be injured by sharp arrows.

The retreating Xuanwei army, under the urging of Xue Wang, repeatedly overdrew their physical strength and increased their escape speed, but the enemy was as tireless as ever, always maintaining a stable distance from them, and there was a tendency to get closer.

At this moment, even if you are tired to death, you can stop being eaten by the enemy, and you must retreat into the valley!

The brothers couldn't run, and the originally planned retreat was a bit like running away at first, and now that the enemy is chasing after them, they don't run away at all.

"Work hard, catch up!" After urging again, Xue Wang struggled to the front of the team.

The team has long been in chaos, and it is good to be able to escape into the valley in part, and it must not be wiped out outside the valley, this is Xue Wang's belief.

Outside the valley.

Zhao An had already received the enemy's report from the spies, and the enemy's large force was coming towards the valley, and according to the speed and distance, the enemy estimated that he would arrive at the mouth of the valley within a quarter of an hour.

All the preparations were made, just waiting for the enemy to rush headlong into the valley.

"Pass the order, the enemy will arrive at once, and no one shall be exposed until the last enemy enters the valley! The whole army waits, listen to the order! ”

The herald received the order and quickly went to convey the general's order to the battalions.

The 2,500 Xuanwei army was ambushed in the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley mouth, and when they looked at the mountains and forests on both sides, nothing could be found in the forest, and the Xuanwei army was completely invisible in the forest.

"General, they're coming, a mile away!" The spies suddenly appeared to report the enemy's situation.

Zhao Anyi grasped the spear in his hand, stabilized his mind a little, and replied: "Go and tell the prison army that the Xuanwei army must defend the enemy's retreat, please be sure to annihilate the enemy army!" ”

"Order." The spies dodged away and ran towards the ridge above the valley.

After a while, there was a figure running desperately on the trail, and if you looked closely, you could find that those people were Xuanwei Army, at this time they had nothing else in their hands except the clothes and armor on their bodies, let alone weapons, not even arrows!

It's just that he was ordered to attract the enemy, Xue Wang actually did it so thoroughly, he lost all his bows and arrows, after entering the valley, how could they hold on?

Without waiting for Zhao An to think about it, they were within a hundred steps, and as soon as he saw their situation, he immediately understood that this was not a retreat, it was simply a run for his life!

What's going on? Is the enemy so terrible?

At this moment, there was no room for Zhao An to think about anything, and in an instant, the desperate Xuanwei army arrived at the mouth of the valley, and without any hesitation, they rushed to retreat into the valley.

The enemy forces that were chasing after them were only sixty or seventy paces away from them, and seeing that they were about to catch up with them, it was certainly impossible to give up and chase them directly into the valley.

As a steady stream of enemies passed in front of him and entered the valley, Zhao An also saw the enemy's situation clearly, and his confidence suddenly lost.

Judging from the speed of the enemy's running, they are agile and not inferior to the well-trained Xuanwei army, and besides, the layer of black things on the enemy's body should be invulnerable sap, and in the face of such an enemy, 2,500 people may not be able to resist it.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and the enemy who entered the valley numbered 20,000 men, but on the path outside the valley, the enemy still kept running from the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many were behind the jungle.

How long can the Xuanwei army in the valley withstand? Zhao An couldn't help but worry about Xue Wanglai, hoping that they could last a quarter of an hour longer.

After a long wait, they saw a group of enemy troops coming out of the jungle, and there was no one else in the forest behind them, this was the last group of enemy troops, and when this group of enemy troops entered the valley, they did not come out again.

However, the enemy group did not all enter the valley after quickly approaching the valley mouth, they slowed down, half entered the valley, and the other half stopped at the valley mouth.

Seeing this scene happening, Zhao An'an thought turned sharply, could it be that the enemy found out that he had been ambushed? If they change from the back team to the front team and withdraw from the valley, the consequences are unimaginable and must not happen! The enemy army outside the valley was only a hundred people, and it was completely possible to drive them into the valley.

With this in mind, he couldn't think much about it, and quickly ordered: "Attack!" ”

The thick horn of the charge immediately sounded from the mountains and forests, and instantly spread throughout the mountains and forests outside the valley.

With the sound of the horn, Zhao An got up and raised his gun, shouting: "Rush!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw him rise and fall a few times, rushed down the valley, and stabbed at the nearest enemy with his spear.

As soon as the horn of the charge sounded, the Xuanwei army ambushed outside the valley sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, quickly emerged from the forest, rushed down the hillside like a tide, and in an instant, blocked the mouth of the valley more than ten zhang wide.

Seeing that they had been ambushed, the enemy troops at Taniguchi immediately turned around and attacked the Xuanwei army.

The two sides fought each other in short combat, and Taniguchi suddenly shook the sky with a sound of killing, and fell into a melee.

Zhao An stabbed the enemy in the chest with a shot, but the man did not dodge or dodge, and was directly stabbed into the chest by a shot of more than three inches, the spear was withdrawn, and the enemy fell to the ground. Then another shot was fired, but this time the enemy was wounded, only to be pushed back by the impact of the spear.

The guards who rushed down from the hillside behind him immediately stepped forward and protected Zhao An behind him, setting up a barrier between him and the enemy.

Zhao Anxin was shocked, his shot actually failed to hurt the enemy!

He looked around and saw that the Xuanwei army was inextricably entangled with the enemy in the upper body, but their attacks basically could not hurt the enemy, at most they could leave a small wound on the enemy's body, while the Xuanwei army kept people falling under the opponent's knife.

The Xuanwei army had never faced such an invulnerable enemy, and the defense line began to loosen after a short time by the impact of more than 100 enemies, and the attacked Xuanwei army's defense line slowly retreated out of the valley.

When the enemy troops in the valley saw a large number of enemies outside the valley, they immediately turned around and rushed out of the valley with a strange scream.

Originally, he wanted to drive the enemy outside the valley into the valley in one go, and then block the valley mouth, but he didn't want the Xuanwei army to be unable to withstand the enemy's counterattack at all, and the defense line was pushed back more than two feet.

If it goes on like this, it won't take more than a quarter of an hour, and when the enemy in the valley reacts, the two thousand five hundred Xuanwei troops will be eaten by them immediately.

Zhao An quickly retreated more than three zhang away, away from the central battle group that was close to each other, and looked at the valley mouth, where the enemy had already begun to pour out of the valley.

"Thunderbolt, blockade Taniguchi!"

The herald was ordered, the red flag was unfurled, and the order was issued.

After a few breaths, I saw countless black balls with sparks flying out of the hillsides on both sides of the valley mouth, and fell straight towards the heads of the enemy soldiers who poured out of the valley mouth.

For a moment, Taniguchi burst into flames, explosions, and thick smoke that stunned the enemy in place, and the surging ranks outside the valley stopped slightly.

However, thunderbolts can't hurt the enemy with knives and guns, and it's hard to even scratch a little skin.

When the enemy saw that the sky was descending, like thunder, and that the thing that exploded with fire could not hurt them, he raised his sword and killed them again.

But as soon as they set out, they saw that the sky was overwhelmed, and bundles of dead branches and weeds were falling.

Another round of thunderbolts exploded at the mouth of the valley, and the dead branches and weeds burned, and in a moment the mouth of the valley burst into flames.

The enemy who wanted to break out of the valley was stopped by the scorching fire, and had to stop and use the knife in his hand to remove the dead branches at his feet, trying to clear a way.

However, as the branches of the trees kept being thrown down on the slopes on both sides, and in a short time, the entire valley mouth was completely blocked by a fire belt more than a foot wide, and the enemies who wanted to rush out of the valley mouth in the valley were scorched by the flames and retreated one after another.

The enemy was temporarily blocked in the valley by fire.

The more than 200 enemies who were caught in the melee outside the valley were unstoppable, and they were slowly killing outside the encirclement.

"Hit the top of the head!" In the scuffle, a soldier smashed a shot on the enemy's head, and when he saw the enemy bleeding and fell to the ground and died, he immediately shouted loudly.
