After making sure that the enemy troops had not left Yangzhou City and that there were no enemy sentinels near the Soaphorn Forest, each army and its own command team immediately began to make local adjustments, choosing a more suitable hiding place with a wide field of vision.

By noon, the three armies had completely hidden themselves in the Saponaria Forest, and it was impossible to find anyone in the forest unless they went deep into the forest.

However, many of the officers and soldiers of the three armies hiding in the forest could directly see the road through the forest, and from the position where they were ambushed, it was easy to shoot at the target on the road.

The three armies have opened their nets, waiting only for the enemy to come and fall into the net.

From noon to dusk, except for a few pedestrians passing by, there was no army in the soaphorn forest, and the spies sent out did not bring back the news of the enemy army coming out of the city.

It was getting late, and more than 6,500 people who had been on guard for a day with wide eyes were resting on the spot among the dead branches and fallen leaves. As night fell, in addition to the sentry, the soldiers sat or lay down and fell asleep one after another.

Four watches.

The moon rises, the moon stars are scarce, and a little afterglow spills into the dense forest, decorating the dreams of the soldiers.

"Whoa......"

Suddenly, a crisp birdsong appeared in the soaphorn forest.

After a few breaths, the same birdsong was heard nearby.

Enemy attack!

The alert soldier was instantly awakened from his sleep by the sound of the bird's call!

At the same time, the same birdsong quickly spread farther away.

From the first bird call, in less than half an hour, the sound of bird calls spread from north to south in the soaphorn forest.

According to the agreement of the three armies, the sound of this bird indicates that the enemy is coming.

The soldiers who woke up first quickly woke up their companions who were still asleep nearby.

After a brief panic at the beginning, the officers and men of the three armed forces quickly calmed down and quickly entered the scheduled combat posts.

In the darkness, the soldiers waited nervously and excitedly for the enemy to appear, enter their ambush circle, and then use their abilities to destroy the enemy.

Because the terrain of the soaphorn forest is flat and the field of vision is relatively broad, once the ambush is settled, if you get up, it is easy to be discovered, so after the ambush is settled, the whole army can no longer act casually, so the battle plan is basically determined, no longer temporarily changed and adjusted, all they have to do is to wait for the arrival of the enemy.

Half an hour later, another rapid birdsong came from the north.

The enemy army has appeared!

The officers and men of the three armies who were ambushed in the forest immediately understood that the battle was about to begin!

A quarter of an hour later, a cavalryman with torches rode into the soaphorn forest, six horses in parallel, in the dim forest, although the speed slowed down, but also galloped, several times faster than two legs.

Judging from the speed of their movements, it seems that they want to attack the camp in Guazhou in a hurry.

The Saponaria Forest was only twenty miles from the main camp, and with the speed of the enemy's cavalry, it would not take half an hour to arrive, and it was the darkest hour before dawn, and if they succeeded and broke into the main camp, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the Jingwu Army, the Yangwu Army, and the Zhen Enemy Army had already laid an ambush in the Soaphorn Forest in advance.

Watching the enemy gallop on horseback and go south, the soldiers of the Jingwu Army who were ambushed on both sides of the road suppressed their restless mood, and aimed their arrows at the enemy running more than ten zhang away, just waiting for an order, the feather arrows will come out!

The enemy army has been rushing south, and time has passed breath by breath, and in the anxious waiting, it seems that after a long time, the soldiers still have not received the order to attack.

The six commanded troops of the Jingwu Army, and they were evenly ambushed in the woods on both sides of the Sili Road that ran through the soaphorn forest, and they were the main force to destroy the enemy.

At this moment, all the commanders, including Yang Congyi, were all staring closely at the enemy soldiers who kept running not far away, and at the same time, they paid close attention to the sounds that might come from the south.

According to the pre-war agreement, it was necessary to wait for Chen Min's enemy army to block the enemy's vanguard troops, block their way, and block them in the forest, unable to advance an inch, before the Jingwu army could launch an attack, and when the battle information reached the north of the soaphorn forest, when the enemy wanted to retreat, the Yangwu army would strike in time to cut off the enemy's retreat, so that the enemy troops in the forest could not retreat, and the enemy troops outside the forest could not advance, and then the three armies attacked together to annihilate all the enemy troops in the soaphorn forest.

After a long anxious wait, there was a faint scream from the south.

At the moment when the screams came, Su Zhong's battalion, which was closest to the ambush place of the enemy army, after Su Zhong shot an arrow, with a screaming order, the soldiers who were ambushed on both sides opened their bows and released arrows.

Sharp arrows flew out of the dim woods, as if they had eyes, and went straight into the bodies of the enemy under the light of the torches!

The enemy soldiers, who did not know what was happening, did not have the slightest defense, and after being hit by the arrow, their hands were loosened, their legs weakened, and they fell to the ground from their running horses in an instant, and were immediately trampled by the horses that followed behind, and died instantly.

In an instant, the soldiers of the elite army who were ambushed in the depths of the woods shot three arrows at the place where the fire was reflected, and a large number of enemy troops fell to the ground.

The enemy soldiers, who had dodged the first three rounds of arrows, found that they were attacked, and immediately retracted the reins, reined in the running horses, took off their bows and arrows, and prepared to return fire.

But in the light of the fire, they could not see the dim dense forest clearly, and when they stretched out their bows and arrows and did not know where to shoot, they became stationary targets, and in the blink of an eye the arrows fell to the ground.

After five rounds of arrow rain, the enemy who was lucky enough to not die turned over and dismounted, hiding under the war horse, panicked, and looked around, there were few surviving companions around, and the sharp arrows were still flying overhead.

Arrows flew, horses were hit by arrows, and under the pain, they ran with their hooves, and the enemy soldiers who were lucky not to die died died under the horse's hooves before they had time to rejoice.

The battle in the forest, as the first commander of the Jingwu Army passed after three rounds of arrow rain, quickly passed towards the second commander who was lying in ambush next to them to the north.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the screams began, and the third commander who was ambushed by the second commander immediately launched an attack on the enemy, and the arrow rain poured down towards the firelight in the road, three rounds of arrow rain, few of them were intact, and after a few more rounds of arrow rain, there were few survivors, and in the face of the threat of death, they completely lost the courage and ability to counterattack.

The screams of the enemy, like a battle order, were swiftly transmitted to the other soldiers in ambush to the north.

The fourth and fifth commanders entered the battle one after another, and five rounds of sharp arrows poured down, and in the firelight, the very conspicuous and unprepared enemy troops were left in an instant, some of them hid in the shadows, and some of them hid in the gap between the horses, just to save their lives.

Yang Congyi, who personally led the sixth commander and ambushed between the Jingwu Army and the Yangwu Army, passed down the military order half an hour before the arrival of the enemy army, and the sixth commander was not allowed to attack at will until he received the attack order issued by him!

This order was changed temporarily, because the enemy army wanted to attack the camp on Guazhou at night, and it was definitely a godsend for the three armies who had been ambushed in the soaphorn forest in advance.

Therefore, Yang Congyi temporarily adjusted his deployment, and after the screams came from the south, he did not immediately order an attack, but did not move, and let the enemy troops come to the rescue, as long as the enemy troops did not retreat, they could do as much as they wanted.

Sure enough, when the screams from the front arrived, the enemy hesitated for a moment, and the speed of the advance slowed down a little, but then they quickly whipped up their horses and continued to rush forward.

However, after a long time, the running war horses were stopped by the front army, and gradually stopped, and the rear army squeezed the front army, and could not advance an inch.

The news of the attack on the front army and the heavy losses soon reached the rear army.

Seeing that the rear army stopped in place, neither advancing nor retreating, as if waiting for orders, Yang Congyi did not rush to order an attack, he wanted to see how the enemy army knew that he was ambushing and decided.

However, in a few moments, there was a shout among the enemy, and they suddenly began to turn their horses northward, intending to leave the forest.

Because the horses were too close to each other, it was very difficult to turn the direction of the horses, and in an instant, the enemy soldiers on the road were in chaos.

Where did Yang Congyi allow the enemy army in front of him to escape, he immediately opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow hit the chest and abdomen of an enemy soldier who was carrying the reins and turning his horse.

Without waiting for the enemy soldier to shout, Yang Congyi remembered a clear chirp beside him.

As the chirp spread, a rain of arrows roared towards the enemy on horseback!

Sou! Sou! Sou!

The enemy held torches, indicating the target of the arrows, and they could not dodge, let alone resist the arrows flying from the darkness, and by the time they saw them, the arrows were already within three feet of them.

More than ten zhang away, after three arrows per person, less than half of the enemy soldiers could still sit on horseback safely.

When they reacted and were about to raise their bows to fight back, the fourth round of arrow rain swooped in head-on!

The few survivors on horseback opened their bows and arrows in an instant, but before they could find the target, the fifth round of arrow rain came again!

The fifth round of arrows had just been fired, and the sixth round of arrows was held in his hand again.

After seven rounds of arrow rain, there was no enemy on horseback.

But the Jingwu army did not carelessly go forward to clean up the battlefield, because they knew that the enemy still had survivors, after the first and second rounds of arrow rain, the enemy soldiers who had already had the opportunity to police quickly jumped off the horses, hid under the belly of the horses, or had already climbed into the roadside forest, because they knew that there was an ambush in the front army before they were attacked, so they would be somewhat prepared, and when they saw someone around them who were hit by arrows, some people must flee for their lives as soon as possible.

After there were no enemy troops on horseback, most of them put down their bows and crossbows, picked up their swords and guns, and immediately prepared for a close battle with the enemy.

The soldiers of the elite army are evenly distributed in the dense forests on both sides of the continent, and the distance between each soldier and his companions on the left and right will not exceed six feet, less than a shot away, the surviving enemy soldiers get into the dense forest, it is not easy to escape from them, not to mention that they are hiding in the shadows, it is difficult for the enemy soldiers who rashly break into the dense forest to find them, once they break in, they are only waiting for death.

At this point, the best option for both parties is to wait for dawn.
