Chapter 269: Tragic Ambush 2
Bows and arrows, crossbows, repeaters, rolling logs and stones, burning bales of hay...... The Yizhou army used all the weapons that could kill and injure the enemy to launch a fierce attack on the enemy army at the foot of the mountain, and in an instant, the Xiliang army, which was unsheltered and exposed to the Yizhou army, paid nearly 10,000 casualties.
The burning haystacks were the most dangerous, as they rolled down the hill and immediately ignited the weeds that had already dried up, and the fire spread and soon divided the Xiliang army into hundreds of separate small groups. Countless Xiliang soldiers were burned to the ground, they screamed and rolled on the ground, some begged for help, and some begged others to give them a happy ......
There are very few people to help them, because the Yizhou army has never stopped attacking more fiercely than one wave, and if you stop to save others, then you will most likely need others to save them the next moment. The Xiliang army, which had spread since the retreat of Huaili, had already lost its former glory and conceit, they could ignore the life and death of their comrades and robes, and now they only thought about whether they could escape from this ambush.
The tip of the nose of the Yizhou army on the mountainside was filled with blood, burnt hair, and the smell of barbecue, and the sound in their ears was also a wail before death, they knew what it meant, some people couldn't help but close their eyes, they understood that this was war, they were soldiers, but they were first and foremost human beings, they had seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, and sorrows! Many felt something churning in their stomachs, and when the first person opened their mouths and vomited, they were joined by one soldier after another, and the taste of the mountains became even richer......
Slowly, the Xiliang army began to fight back messily, but it seemed so pale and powerless, every time the Xiliang army shot an arrow to the mountain, it would often attract ten arrows to repay, when a small group of fierce Xiliang army planned to rush up the mountainside, to solve those who can only fight the stick, engage in sneak attacks of Yizhou cowards, the mountainside will often roll down a rain of rolling wood and stones, disintegrating their attack at the foot of the mountain, and most of these people who tried to charge have become a pool of blood, flesh and mud......
Li Ru, who was seriously injured in the foot, was carried to Dong Zhuo's side by his own soldiers, and Dong Zhuo didn't have time to ask about Li Ru's injury, so he said, "Wenyou, what should I do now?" "I didn't ask what was going on, because it was a blind delay in time, what was going on now, it didn't matter who set up an ambush in the mountains, and this was a question that didn't need an answer at all, Dong Zhuo was not a fool, how could he not understand? Now what matters is what should be done? How to escape!
Li Ruqiang endured the severe pain in his thighs, inhaled cold air and said: "Lord, looking at this situation, the enemy has at least forty or fifty thousand horses, although our army is far superior to the enemy, but there are countless casualties, low morale, and no profit, if it is not wise to fight hard with the high-spirited and condescending enemy army, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to quickly withdraw from this Jedi, and then fight again with the whole army, there is a glimmer of life." On the right side of this Shegu Mountain is a ravine washed by the confluence of heavy rains in the rainy season for thousands of years, which is four or five zhang deep and more than ten zhang wide, which is difficult to cross; Not far ahead, there is muddy water blocking the road, and it is almost impossible to wade in vain. Now the only way out is to go back! ”
"Retreat?" Dong Zhuo said.
Li Ru said categorically: "Yes, retreat quickly, the sooner the better!" ”
Dong Zhuo said: "Isn't it in line with Liu Zhang's intention to retreat, once Liu Zhang's army is encircled, how can our army resist?" ”
Li Ru struggled to get up, as if he wanted to say something to Dong Zhuo in private. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo leaned over carefully.
After a while, Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, and a relieved smile appeared on Li Ru's face.
Dong Zhuo gave an order, and hundreds of personal soldiers surrounded him, and the people outside immediately lost Dong Zhuo's figure.
Wei Yan's eyes closed slightly, and he secretly wondered, "What tricks does Dong Zhuo want to do?" No matter what tricks Dong Zhuo wanted to do, Wei Yan couldn't let him run away from his mouth, he specially ordered more than a dozen soldiers to keep an eye on Dong Zhuo's location, and if they found any special circumstances, they would report him immediately, and at the same time, Wei Yan also asked Feng Ji at a higher place to use the terrain to help him monitor Dong Zhuo's movements.
Li Dao finally gathered a few hundred people, looked at the chaotic situation behind him, he understood that everything could not be brought back, with his hundreds of people want to rush through the smoky and murderous battlefield and rescue Dong Zhuo, it is only in a dream. Li Dao immediately decided to abandon Dong Zhuo to escape alone, so he ordered the hundreds of people gathered around him to rush forward, his position is on the edge of Shegu Mountain, if it goes well, he can soon escape from the enemy's ambush circle, as long as he escapes and is born, he will unload his armor and return to the field, find a place to spend the rest of his life incognito, and his hidden wealth is enough for him to live ten lifetimes with taste.
It's a pity that Li Wei's wish didn't come true, of course, it's no one else's fault, it's only that his golden armor is so eye-catching, anyone who sees it knows that he is definitely not an ordinary person. So on the way to escape, one after another bow and arrow aimed at him, there are even more than a dozen crossbows, although Li Dao escaped again and again with his agile skills, but just when the breakthrough was expected, a Yizhou repeater counted arrows to no avail, and saw that Li Dao was about to escape out of the range, he would take Li Dao no longer have a way, couldn't help but scold, he was emotional while scolding while waving the repeater in his hand, but he didn't expect this swing accidentally pulled the plate machine, the last arrow in the arrow box went away from the string. This accidentally fired crossbow bolt unexpectedly hit the butt of Li Dao's war horse, and the thousand-mile horse suddenly stood up, and Li Dao, who was bent on fleeing for his life, did not expect that his war horse would suddenly make such a drastic move, and was immediately thrown off the horse......
"Haha...... Hit...... I shot ......" The repeater, who was still scolding just now, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and screamed loudly.
"Fuck, that's good luck......" Another Yizhou soldier next to him who witnessed all this couldn't help but be a little jealous.
"Haha...... Lao Tzu shot all the arrow boxes empty, if he didn't get a little credit, wouldn't he lose the face of our Yizhou army? The crossbowman said triumphantly.
"Hmph, you kid is so proud, you only shot the horse, and I don't know whose credit the enemy general's credit is credited to!"
Afterwards, the credit for killing Li Dao was still credited to this repeater, although he did not kill Li Dao with his own hands, and even Li Dao did not die at the hands of the Yizhou Army in the first place! It turned out that Li Dao, who fell off the horse unexpectedly, was never able to stand up again, and he was trampled into a pulp by the Xiliang army who was in a hurry to flee behind him, so the credit for killing Li Dao was recorded on the body of this repeater, after all, it was his arrow that made Li Dao fall from his horse and thus die, without his arrow, no one dared to guarantee whether he could kill Li Dao.
The Xiliang Army, which was fighting separately, was suppressed at the foot of the mountain by the Yizhou Army, and fought back with all their hands, and many people could not bear this kind of fighting style that was almost equivalent to killing by the neck, and they threw down their weapons and shouted surrender. For these surrenderers, although the Yizhou army chose to open the net, but at this time at the foot of the mountain was full of smoke and dust, blurring the vision of the Yizhou army, and from time to time there were surrenderers who died in the unwilling screams, and they were all affected by the pond fish.
Dong Zhuo's personal guards, especially the Flying Bear Army, deserve to be the first-class elite soldiers and fierce generals today, Dong Zhuo gave an order, and soon gathered more than 3,000 people under the arrow rain of the Yizhou Army. They relied on the heavy iron armor on their bodies to shuttle through the dense rain of arrows unharmed, and the bows and arrows of the Yizhou army could only cause a trace of fear in their hearts unless they hit their soft underbelly. These soldiers abandoned their horses one after another, guarding Dong Zhuo back layer by layer, and all the Xiliang troops who dared to block them were either knocked to the ground or stabbed to death immediately.
Feng Ji, who looked down on the entire battlefield from the top of the mountain, immediately noticed this situation and ordered the soldiers to raise the flag.
Pang Yi, who was in charge of sealing the mouth, saw the flag, and hurriedly ordered to remove the weeds and branches that were inserted in the rolling wood and stones, cut off the ropes and vines with fine wrists, and dozens of rolling logs of four or five feet thick, three or four zhang long and countless hundreds of pounds of boulders rushed straight down the mountain with unstoppable might, and the rolling wood boulders hit the hillside again and again, and the smoke and dust rose up between the shaking of the mountain, and when the smoke dissipated, the narrow exit had been blocked by the rolling wood rolling ring, and then twenty or thirty bundles of straw filled with tung oil were ignited and pushed down the hillside......
Dong Ming personally killed seven Xiliang soldiers, and the three thousand Dong Zhuo guards around him all had "results", but at the foot of the mountain was a cliff on one side, and a fierce enemy on the other, tens of thousands of soldiers were in a dilemma, they had the intention to avoid killing red-eyed allies, but where could they hide? Although the three thousand guards killed a lot of Xiliang troops, they were still blocked at the foot of the mountain by the headless fly-like Xiliang army and couldn't move!
Dong Ming saw that the army was struggling, and knew that it would be a dead end if he continued to consume it, so he ordered Dong Rong to lead a thousand elite troops to attack the enemy on the mountainside to reduce the pressure at the foot of the mountain and create an opportunity for Dong Zhuo to retreat.
Although Dong Rong disdains Dong Ming, and Dong Ming's order is obviously suspected of making him cannon fodder, but at this time of life and death, he can't refuse at all, if he has the slightest hesitation, even if Dong Ming doesn't dare to kill him, I believe that Dong Zhuo will kill him without mercy, in this case, a nephew is obviously not as important as escape!
Dong Rong pretended to be generous and responded to the order and ordered a thousand soldiers, but he did not attack immediately, looking at the headless flies like the Xiliang army around him, he shouted: "Brothers, Liu Zhang'er is cruel and unkind, and he has a strict order, when fighting with my Xiliang soldiers, he is not allowed to leave a living mouth, and he must kill every Xiliang soldier, even if there are prisoners, they must all be killed afterwards...... Now, we have all become meat in his bowl, look around, our brothers were brutally killed by him one after another, and the next one may not be our turn, but when they kill all our brothers, it will always be our turn...... As long as we work together, there is hope for rushing out, even if we can't rush out and die here, it is also to die on the way to charge with dignity, worthy of heaven and earth! Now, I will personally launch a counterattack against the enemy, and it is Xiliang Nan'er who will rush with me, rush up the mountain, and kill all the Yizhou dogs......"
