Chapter 268: A Tragic Ambush
Dong Zhuo didn't know that there were more than 40,000 pairs of eyes staring at him on the silent Shegu Mountain, and he didn't even send forwards and defenders when he thought he had a plan, and the 70,000 army gathered into a torrent like moving ants and slowly walked into Wei Yan's ambush circle.
A Yizhou soldier looked at the Xiliang army that was walking endlessly at the foot of the mountain, he had never experienced a decent battle, he couldn't help but rise a complex emotion intertwined with depression, nervousness, fear and excitement, and his heart also beat rapidly, he hurriedly tightened the spear in his hand, and secretly cheered himself up, but it was a remnant of the defeated army, there was nothing to be afraid of......
Many people have the same mood as this soldier, all they can do is to hold on to their weapons, trust their comrades, and do everything they can to save their lives in the upcoming battle!
Dong Zhuo's body is fat, even the fattest and strong horses can hardly bear his weight, he is full of fat and flesh to rely on two feet to move more like a dream, the only way for him to catch up with the speed of the large army is to make him a special carriage, this carriage can be pulled by war horses on the flat avenue, if the road is rugged and difficult, it will be carried forward by sixteen strong soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
Because of this, when Wei Yan saw the gorgeous and peculiar carriage slowly coming to his feet, he knew that the main lord had arrived, and hurriedly aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at the carriage......
"Kill, ......" Wei Yan shouted violently, let go of the tightly held bowstring, and shot out with a feather arrow.
With Wei Yan's order, a deafening shout of killing suddenly sounded on the calm mountainside, and faster than the shouting came the arrows like raindrops, and then the huge rolling wood and stones that rumbled down from the mountain......
The Yizhou army is also a person who knows the goods, without Wei Yan's orders, many people automatically took Dong Zhuo's carriage as the main target, at least three hundred arrows fell around the carriage at the first time, and in the blink of an eye, the gorgeous carriage was shot into a hedgehog, and the four good horses who pulled the carriage did not even have time to scream, and each of them was hit by more than ten arrows, and died of blood in an instant. However, Wei Yan clearly saw that his feathered arrow, which was enough to pierce the mountain and crack the rocks, and many arrows that hit the trunk, seemed to have encountered a copper wall after shooting through the tent hanging outside the trunk, hanging upside down on the tent, unable to advance an inch.
Obviously, the carriage's trunk was specially made, if not made of pure iron, at least it was covered with iron armor to protect the people inside.
Wei Yan was not disappointed, he put his bow and arrow again, his eyes were glued to the trunk like electricity, but he did not fire it immediately.
Dense raindrops of life-threatening arrows instantly took the lives of thousands of Xiliang troops, the frightened Xiliang army did not have time to react, and the roaring rolling wood and stones smashed the corpses of many people, and the foot of the mountain was like a torrential rain, but at this time it was bloody red and warm blood flowing on the dry loess......
The Xiliang army, which was caught off guard, suddenly bled profusely, suffered heavy casualties, and the most important thing was that the Xiliang army, which was like a frightened bird, was suddenly attacked, and the formation was in chaos, the soldiers and wolves rushed to the pigs, and the trampling on each other was countless!
"There is an ambush...... Xiliang Army reacted at this time, and there was an almost sudden exclamation from the screams, but soon these people died under the rain of arrows of the Yizhou Army.
"Run for your life......"
"I don't want to die......"
"Rao...... Ah......h
"Surrender, surrender ......"
Faced with the sudden and fierce blow, many people in the Xiliang Army, which was already demoralized, suddenly collapsed on the spot, and there were even many frightened mental disorders.
Dong Ming and Dong Rong guarded Dong Zhuo's side, seeing that the carriage was shot into a big hedgehog, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they didn't care about the rain of arrows coming from the sky, and pulled the trunk almost at the same time.
Inside the car, Dong Zhuo had already realized what had happened, for the first time in his life, he felt that death was so close to him, and his fat round face was sweating like rain because he was afraid or nervous......
"Xiangye, are you okay?" Dong Rong and Dong Ming said in unison.
Dong Zhuo was a person who had experienced wind and rain in the end, and quickly calmed down, and said, "It's okay to ...... appearance," he said, and stepped out of the car with the support of Dong Rong and Dong Ming.
At this moment, a smile appeared at the corner of Wei Yan's mouth, which had been unprovoked, and the tightly crumbling bowstring was steadily released, and with a "whoosh", an arrow pierced the air like a meteor and shot towards Dong Zhuo's throat.
Dong Zhuo was also a person who had survived a hundred battles in his early years, and he seemed to have some instinctive premonitions about danger, he turned his head to look in the direction of Wei Yan with a little doubt, but found that a small black dot was rushing towards him, he suddenly knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly dodged sideways.
"Alas......"
"Ah......h
A sigh of regret and a scream sounded at the same time.
It was a pity that Wei Yan sent it, seeing that he couldn't break through the defense of the carriage, and it was itching to put arrows into the carriage again, so he stopped and continued to do the useless thing, he expected that Dong Zhuo would get off the carriage to avoid it as soon as he learned of the ambush, so he prepared a generous gift for Dong Zhuo early, originally he placed a hope on this, thinking that he could kill Dong Zhuo with an arrow, but he didn't expect that after preparing for so long, he finally fell short, and now Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers who reacted have protected Dong Zhuo heavily, and the opportunity is gone, he naturally feels regretful.
Of course, Wei Yan's arrow was not completely useless, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have screamed because of this! avoided the misfortune of piercing the throat, but was also shot in the shoulder by Wei Yan's arrow, because he was suspected of being overarmed, Dong Zhuo was only wearing a brocade robe, but this arrow shot directly through his shoulder, and half of the bloody arrow drilled out from the other end. Dong Zhuo, who has long been full of spleen, has not been in battle in person for many years, and now he can be said to be delicate and expensive, how can he endure such pain, he can't help screaming.
Li Ru, not far away, also became an important target of the Yizhou army, although he used his mount in time to block several deadly arrows, but unfortunately fell on a sharp stone when he fell off the horse, the sharp stone cut his pants, and cut a long bloody mouth on his right thigh, a piercing pain made him sweat coldly, feeling that his physical strength was disappearing with the rapid flow of blood, enduring the severe pain, he was sweating all over his body, but he felt a chill spread from his heart to his feet. Fortunately, Li Ru's personal soldiers saw that he was injured, so they hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him to a low depression, and then hurriedly tied the wound tightly with their clothes......
A commander of the Yizhou army had long noticed Li Dao, who was wearing gold armor and standing at the forefront of the army, thinking that he had made a heavy note on his merits, he took Li Dao as his prey as soon as Li Dao appeared, and when Wei Yan gave an order, he immediately shot the feather arrow at Li Dao.
"When ......", the arrow accurately hit Li Dao's chest, and the commander of the Yizhou army was just about to raise his arms and shout, but he saw a string of sparks splashed on Li Dao's chest, and the arrow that had placed his high hopes on immediately fell to the ground. It turned out that Li Dao's golden armor was not only a decoration or a symbol of status, but also a set of extremely defensive protective gear, and this arrow did not cause much actual damage to him except for scaring Li Dao.
Li Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted, "Enemy attack...... There is an ambush...... Hide ...... quickly."
In order to ensure safety, Dong Zhuo left his personal guard Ma Bujun to protect himself, and most of the other soldiers who were in good health were arranged in two critical positions in the front and rear, as the pioneer, Li Dao's command was divided into eight thousand.
At the first attack, although these soldiers were intact, they had to abandon the rich Guanzhong Plain and retreat to the bitter cold northwest because of the successive defeats, and the depressed and lost soldiers suddenly rushed into a vicious tiger like a flock of sheep, frightened, confused, and helpless, and completely lost their former fierce name.
The Yizhou army turned a deaf ear to the wails of the enemy at the foot of the mountain, it was not that they were cruel, as a soldier, they understood that if they and the people at the foot of the mountain changed places, the other party would not be soft either, because they were soldiers, and this was war!
Waves of arrows rained down one after another like headless flies scurrying around the Xiliang Army soldiers into cold corpses, and the rolling logs and stones that rumbled and fell on the hillside carried the rocks, shrubs, and weeds, bringing up bursts of dust and smoke, smashing the Xiliang Army and those corpses into a puddle of flesh and mud one by one......
Compared with the luck of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Li Dao, Guo Yan was shot as a hedgehog in the first wave of attacks of the Yizhou Army, and the arrow that killed Guo Yan instantly came from Ban.
Thousands of troops in the palace who were already demoralized, tired and thirsty fell into a leaderless situation for a while after Guo Yan's death, facing a fierce blow like a storm, nearly half of them were killed and wounded after a while, and the remaining people were uncommanded, screaming and scurrying around one by one, adding to the merits of the Yizhou army from time to time.
The Chinese army gathered a large number of wounded, and the march was fine in peacetime, with chariots and horses to walk, and soldiers to help one or two, but after waves of arrows suddenly fell in the mountains, those lightly wounded and ordinary soldiers were all in a hurry to flee for their lives, where could they take care of others? As a result, those seriously wounded who were unable to move became lambs to be slaughtered one by one, and those who did not resist became the souls of the Yizhou army. If Wei Yan hadn't discovered this situation, corrected it in time, and ordered the whole army to let go of those who had no resistance, and give priority to attacking those Xiliang troops who could run, jump, and fight back with strength, I am afraid that the more than 20,000 wounded of the Xiliang army would have to become ghosts under the arrow in half an hour. Although these seriously wounded people have escaped for the time being, they have already been served in the bowl by the Yizhou army, and when the enemy forces that still have the strength to fight are solved, what can these seriously wounded do except raise their hands and surrender? If there are still people who are obsessed with it at that time, Wei Yan will definitely not mind sending them all to hell!
