Chapter 431: Smooth

The panicked barbarians on the rock wall were already in a mess, and the little leader of the barbarian soldiers who had just escaped from death and fled to the ledge on the right side quickly retreated to the side of Aluo, the princess of Nanzhao Erhai, and just took a breath, he heard the whistling sound of iron arrows breaking through the air from behind him.

Ada turned to look at the air behind him, and an iron arrow spun and shot extremely quickly, and the target was Princess Arlo, who was climbing a long vine beside him.

Ada yelled, "Princess, be careful. ”

At some point, the black cloth covering Princess Arlo's face had fallen off one side, and the other half hung on her ears, revealing a beautiful pale face. She also heard the terrifying sound of arrows breaking through the air, but she seemed to be frightened and did not react.

Ada roared, his body suddenly rose into the air and pounced on Ah Luo's side, stretched out his foot and kicked Princess Ah Luo's arm, Ah Luo's body was kicked and flew up to the right, at the same time, 'boom' There was a loud bang, Ah Luo's foothold just now had been hit by an iron arrow, the rock peeled off and crackled, and a piece of rock dust rose.

Princess Arlo grabbed the vine in her hand and swung in the air, and saw with her own eyes that the iron arrow shot into the back of Ada's heart, nailing Ada in the smoke and dust. She woke up suddenly and cried out in a long cry, "Ada! ”

The barbarians clinging to the rock wall stared blankly at the rock wall that was shot by the iron arrow, and the smoke and dust quickly subsided, and then they saw that Ada's whole person was nailed into the rock wall by the iron arrow, and a small pit of rock peeled off the rock wall.

"Ada!" Princess Arlo swung back to the rock wall, spinning on the rock wall, and called Ada's name in her mouth.

Ada is a well-known rock climbing warrior in Nanzhao Kingdom, and is an elder and capable person respected by everyone in Nanzhao Kingdom. As the personal guard general of the former lord Pi Luo Pavilion, Ah Luo knew him very young, and Ah Da often climbed many swallow caves with his bare hands in order to pick bird's nests for Ah Luo, and even Pi Luo Pavilion did not allow him to take such an adventure, which shows his loyalty to this little princess of Nanzhao.

"Princess, go quickly, you can't stay here for long." A brute soldier accompanying him shouted loudly.

Before the words fell, there was a 'boom', and an iron arrow hit the rock wall a few feet away on the left, and the rocks flew and cracked in all directions, and the two brutes were hit in the head by the rocks, screaming and falling off the cliff.

Ah Luo knew that there was no way to cut all the ropes today, and if he didn't withdraw at this time, he was afraid that he would die here, so he decisively ordered a retreat. The remaining dozens of brutes quickly retreated sideways to the cliff wall on the right. Wang Yuan controlled the crossbow arrow to nail the black-clothed figure and shot arrow after arrow, but this Fuyuan crossbow obviously had no accuracy, and the farther the distance, the more difficult it was to grasp the flight trajectory of the arrow, always letting the man in black escape from death, but he killed more than a dozen brute soldiers, but he watched the man in black get out of range, and watched him climb to the top of the cliff and escape.

Ah Luo was actually frightened and her face turned pale, along the way she obviously felt that the target was herself, and the iron arrow was bombarding her own climbing route, if it weren't for her climbing skills, and from time to time there were barbarians around her to rescue the vines, and she would almost die under the bombardment of the iron arrow.

On the top of the cliff, Ah Luo was drenched in sweat. Looking back and panting and looking at the ** on the north shore, but seeing the sunset, a ** general wearing gorgeous armor with golden light was standing up from the side of the ballista and was also looking at himself. Ah Luo hated it so much, it must have been this person who kept staring at himself and shooting arrows, trying to nail himself to the cliff.

"Wait for me, and if I knew who you were, I would have caused you to die by my hand." Ah Luo gritted his silver teeth, stomped his foot, and disappeared into the woods with the only remaining thirty or so embarrassed brute soldiers.

……

Hearing that the plan failed, and even Princess A Luo almost died, Ge Luofeng was shocked and angry, and hurriedly ordered the two generals A Bao and A Hu to stop the feint, and he quickly went to see A Mei. In the forest camp, Ah Luo sat by the campfire with a disgraced hair, his expression was extremely aggrieved, and there were scars on his legs and feet. Ge Luofeng was both distressed and a little complaining.

Originally, she was not allowed to participate in this sneak attack, but Ah Luo insisted that she would personally participate in the plan she proposed, and Ge Luofeng couldn't resist her, so she asked Ada and dozens of loyal and skilled guard generals to protect her and go with her. Unexpectedly, the operation failed, and even Ada died, this blow must have been a big blow to Ah Luo, after all, she had great confidence in this strategy.

"Brother, we are about to succeed, we have cut off more than half of the rope bridge, but I didn't expect it...... The treacherous ** actually has a weapon that can shoot over such a long distance on both sides of the Lushui River. Uncle Ada also lost his life as a result. I...... I'm so sad. Ah Luo covered her face and cried with self-blame.

"That's it, it's over, and it's irreparable. **There is a ballista that can shoot to the other side, so there is no need to say more. Good thing you're okay. You also took credit for cutting most of their ropes, and that bought us a day. We need to withdraw to Yaozhou immediately, plunder all the people and belongings of Yaozhou City, and set up traps and ambushes in the mountains and forests leading to Yamato City, once they invade our Nanzhao country, we can't sit idly by. ”

Ah Luo no longer objected, once this strategy failed, there was only one way to withdraw the army. Because after today's sneak attack, there is no chance to launch a sneak attack from the rock wall, which means that you can only watch the other party build a rope bridge. Unless he does not hesitate to rush up the mountain bag and fight to the death with the Jiannan army on the mountain bag. But in that case, even if you win, you will have heavy casualties. Ge Luofeng was reluctant to accept such an exchange.

The wise move is to withdraw the army immediately, sweep away the city of Yaozhou, and throw it to an empty city. If you want to continue to march into Nanzhao, the more you enter the territory of Nanzhao, the more difficult terrain there are in the valleys and swamps of the plateaus, mountains, forests, and forests, and there are more opportunities for ambushes.

"Sister, let's go, don't be sad. This time your strategy is very good, but we are inferior to our opponents in terms of armament. I didn't think it through, I should have let you act at night, hey, it's too late to say anything. However, although they won this battle, they still wanted to enter the territory of my Nanzhao Kingdom to show off their might, and I had a way to deal with them. ”

"What Brother said is that today's incident is also that Ah Luo did not think it through. The guy who fired the bolt was extremely hateful, wearing an exaggerated gold armor, and was staring at me with the bolt. If I can catch him, I'll cut off his dog's head with my own hands. ”

"Brother promises you, as long as you catch this guy, you will hand it over to Sister to deal with."

“……”

The twilight is four, and the twilight between the mountains and fields is gloomy. The fierce barbarians who attacked during the day disappeared without a trace, and all disappeared into the woods. On the mountain bag, Song Jiangong let out a sigh of relief, and finally withstood a day's crazy attack.

Song Jiangong was also afraid of everything that happened on the cliff behind him, and almost broke all the ropes, which would be equivalent to starting again, and he had to stick to it here for one more day. And his own arrows have consumed too much, and there is not much left.

But in fact, Song Jiangong also knew that he couldn't do anything about the battle on the cliff, there was a dead end, even if he sent soldiers and horses, it would be useless. And the barbarians on the front put a lot of pressure, and if they were a little distracted, a feint attack became a real attack. If you get to the top of the mountain, it's all over.

The hillside was a mess, littered with corpses and flesh, the embers of the burning logs still glowing red, and the air smelled of blood and burning. A large flock of black crows landed on the hillside and screamed, eating flesh and blood, and from time to time they flew up in fright, and then landed on another hillside.

Song Jiangong ordered people to quickly count the casualties and seize the time to fill his stomach and rest, he was worried that there would be more difficult battles after the night, and he could not take it lightly.

However, the tense Song Jiangong did not wait for the attack he imagined, and this night except for the sound of the soldiers who rushed to build the rope bridge, there was only the sound of the running water of the Lushui River, and nothing happened.

In the early morning, when the sun rises and shines on the Lushui River. Two hundred thick ropes have been straightened and fastened to the cliff faces on both sides. The soldiers on the north shore had already cut the logs in half and began to lay them on the ropes. Song Jiangong on the south bank and Wang Yuan on the north bank all tensed their nerves, but the brute soldiers did not appear at all, as if ignoring the rope bridge that was taking shape.

From this, Wang Yuan was finally able to conclude that Ge Luofeng had run away without a trace.
