Since there are no ambushes in the reeds, what else is there to consider. After receiving the order, the two lieutenants immediately mobilized thousands of soldiers and began to charge towards the battlefield outside the city. The team was soon naturally divided by the reeds of the trail, and thousands of soldiers and horses were naturally divided into more than a dozen teams and slowly moved forward along the trail. Even if there are no ambushes in the reeds, walking in such a terrain still makes people feel worried, so the soldiers still shrink their heads and look around, lest there be variables.

However, after hundreds of paces, there was nothing unusual, and although the reeds and long grass around him were lush and thick, and made all kinds of strange noises in the wind, there were no bows and arrows to shoot. Only then did the soldiers relax and began to speed up their pace and rush towards the opposite battlefield. However, just as they were focusing their attention on the battlefield ahead, a long pole raised a striking red banner from the canopy of a tall tree on the green hill where the Oriental Gathering Hall was located. The flag shook loudly in the wind several times before vanishing.

The next moment, countless figures suddenly stood up from the tall grass in the reeds, the bowstrings buzzed, the feather arrows swished, and in a short period of time, thousands of ambushed ** crossbowmen launched a surprise attack almost simultaneously. Snort! The sound of arrows passing through the stems and leaves of reeds, long grass blades, is eerie. Puff puff! The sound of them piercing through flesh is even more soul-stirring. Before the soldiers on the trail could react, a large number of soldiers were hit by arrows. Amid the screams, countless soldiers were hit by arrows and fell, and some rolled directly into puddles on both sides of the road, splashing muddy mud. Many of the soldiers were killed by several arrows before they even reacted.

"There is an ambush, run!" The soldiers reacted quickly, holding their heads and running back. The long line of soldiers in the rear did not have time to turn around and retreat, and were squeezed by the soldiers who were attacked in front and rushed back, and many of them staggered and fell into the depressions and puddles on the side of the road, and the scene was chaotic.

"Damn, get caught. Chang Yuantu, you idiot, what kind of empty city plan are you talking about, where is this empty city plan? Adjutant General Ma scolded loudly with a crying voice, and frantically ordered the soldiers to turn around and rush back.

All the soldiers began to stumble and run backwards, and whoever stood in the way would be pushed away by those behind them. At this time, there is nothing to be humble about running for your life, and every moment you stay here is in mortal danger, so everyone falls into a state of fear and madness. The soldiers who pushed together crawled and rolled into the depressions on both sides, and many people on the path were crushed and fell to the ground, but they were soon trampled under the feet of others, trampled to death in despair.

The locusts rained down on the crowding rebel ranks, which was a one-sided massacre, because there was no means of counterattack to stop the archers, and every rebel soldier was a live target. Even if the number of ** archers ambushed in the reeds and bushes is not large, and more than 2,000 archers are still scattered on both sides of a dozen roads, even if it is only the continuous shooting of more than a hundred archers, it will inflict great damage on the unprotected opponent. The path in the middle of the reeds was soon full of corpses of arrows, and the ditches and puddles beside the road were soon stained red with blood.

At the gate of the village at the rear, Chang Yuantu looked at all this in amazement, his mind was buzzing, and the feeling of being enlightened just now turned into chaos again. What about the empty city plan? What about the good and no ambush? I finally broke through the opponent's plan, and I thought that I had crushed the opponent in terms of strategy and IQ, but everything in front of me beat me back to its original shape. I didn't become smarter, I just made myself smart.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! Archers, bow and arrow cover. Chang Yuantu roared loudly.

Thousands of archers immediately stepped forward and fired arrows at the reeds, but they were pointless. The position of the opposing archers was two hundred paces away, which was beyond the range of the bows and arrows. And the archers would never shoot deep into the Ludang Trail. Even if you can see them shooting arrows in the reeds, it is actually beyond the reach of the dust.

The chaotic slaughter lasted less than a quarter of an hour, but that quarter of an hour was long and unacceptable. Finally, most of the soldiers were able to escape in defeat, and when they rushed to the flat ground inside the gate one by one, they had time to rejoice that they had escaped death. When everyone looked back at the dozen or so trails they had just fled, they were frightened by the situation there.

The trail was littered with creeping corpses, many of whom were not yet dead, but were wriggling on the ground with terrible screams, crawling slowly. In the sunlight, the puddles on both sides of the road reflected red light, which was blood-stained sewage. This situation and this scene make people feel terrified, and people dare not take a second look.

When the rebel soldiers finally fled the land of death, the ** archers who were ambushed in the reeds also disappeared. As far as the eye can see, the reed leaves in the large reeds in front of you are rolling like waves, as quiet as a green lake with undulating waves. It looked like nothing had happened. But all those who have experienced what has just happened know that this silence is only an illusion, and that there is a group of murderous demons hiding there.

Chang Yuantu was stunned, he hadn't recovered from what he had just done. Looking at the thousands of frightened soldiers around him, and looking at the tragic situation on the Ludang path, Chang Yuantu didn't know what to do. It was his blind self-confidence that led to such a tragedy, the other party obviously deliberately let the sword and shield soldiers fight hand-to-hand in the past, and the ambush soldiers in the reeds did not appear. And he was wishful thinking and clever himself, so that his soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Chang Taishou, what should I do now? What should we do? Deputy General Ma, who had escaped death, asked, his words unable to hide the anger in his heart.

"How many of us died?" Chang Yuantu asked, swallowing and foaming.

"How many? In a short period of time, we have killed and wounded nearly 1,600 people. Damn, there were so many dead and wounded people, but we didn't even touch a single hair of each other. Is this a fucking war? It's really a wretch. Chang Taishou, please be cautious next time you give an order, since you don't know if the other party has an ambush, you shouldn't pat your chest and say that there is no ambush. You are safe and sound, and more than 1,000 brothers have been killed by you in vain. What a fucking shit, a fool who talks about it. Deputy General Ma scolded loudly, and the last sentence was already an obvious insult to Chang Yuantu.

Chang Yuantu ignored the insult and disrespect to himself in the other party's words, he was in no mood to deal with Vice General Ma for the time being, and at the same time, this matter was indeed his own fault, and he was also apologetic.

"Mo Ti, Adjutant General Ma, immediately send the order, and the whole army will withdraw to the battalion to defend with the help of fortifications." Chang Yuantu gasped.

"What about the sword and shield brothers on the other side? Don't we care? Adjutant General Ma frowned and shouted.

Chang Yuantu looked at the battlefield in front of him, where half of the four thousand sword and shield soldiers had already been killed and wounded, and they were struggling to support themselves.

"Mingjin told them to withdraw, we can't support them, and if they continue to fight, they will all die. Hurry up, hurry! Chang Yuantu said loudly.

The gong clanged, and it was a signal for Mingjin to retreat. There were less than 3,000 rebel sword and shield soldiers left who had no intention of fighting when they heard the sound of Mingjin, and they turned around and fled back. As they crossed the path in the reeds, they were stunned by the tragic situation in front of them. And they were not as lucky as they had been when they came, and the archers in the midst of the reeds were no longer polite, and they all rushed to fire arrows at the fleeing sword and shield soldiers. Thankfully, these are sword and shield soldiers, and they have shields to defend themselves. The 3,000 soldiers managed to escape with only 400 casualties. But even so, these 4,000 sword and shield soldiers also lost more than 1,600 people.

When the sword and shield soldiers withdrew, the rebel army immediately withdrew from Dazhai without stopping, and it rolled and rolled back in an instant. An hour ago, the rebels who had come in a rage, intending to attack the opponent's camp and prevent the opponent from crossing the river, were annihilated by more than 3,000 people and then returned. Chang Yuantu's self-confidence also suffered a devastating blow. He regretted it, he shouldn't have done it at all, his blind self-confidence made him pay a huge price, and the other party's soldiers and horses were not at all something he could defeat.

On the battlefield to the east, soldiers are beginning to clean up the battlefield. Wang Yuan took off his armor and stared intently at the enemy brigade of soldiers and horses who were swarming to evacuate, with a puzzled look on his face. What he didn't understand was why the other party would send troops to break into the reeds that he knew was in ambush, wouldn't this be too stupid move, obviously they suffered a big loss last night, they actually rushed over with such a swagger, isn't it self-inflicted.

The reason why Wang Yuan didn't order the ambushed soldiers to release their arrows when the opponent's sword and shield soldiers attacked was simply because the other party was a sword and shield soldier. The nemesis of an archer is the shield soldier, and the lethality of arrows against sword and shield soldiers is limited, so it is not appropriate to waste a lot of valuable arrows to shoot sword and shield soldiers. That still won't stop the other side from passing through the ambush circle.

Seeing that the number of sword and shield soldiers on the other side was only three or four thousand, Wang Yuan decisively chose to face it head-on. As long as the other party's follow-up reinforcements are not continued, Wang Yuan really doesn't care about these thousands of sword and shield soldiers, after all, his own soldiers and horses are not weak. Or Wang Yuan actually doesn't have too many choices, he can only choose to confront him head-on.

However, the other party's follow-up soldiers and horses actually rushed over like this, which is a little incomprehensible. Wang Yuan didn't understand the other party's commander's intentions at all, if he knew that the Taiyuan Yuan Tu led by the other party was too conservative and Yuantu regarded his move of letting the sword and shield soldiers pass as a lack of troops, or even imagined a drama of an empty city plan out of thin air, Wang Yuan was afraid that he would laugh off his big teeth.

Wang Yuan didn't want to think about it anymore, this battle was another big victory, plus last night's ambush, the opponent's dead and wounded soldiers and horses should have exceeded 4,000. There are only more than 15,000 people left in the opponent with a total of more than 20,000 people, and it is no wonder that the opponent's main general chose to retreat immediately. But of course Wang Yuan still doesn't want to fight with the other party, the purpose is to protect the operation of crossing the river, and there is no need to fight to the death, at this moment the rebels have obviously lost the ability to take the initiative to attack, and the remaining time Unless the other party is not long-sighted, the crossing of the river should not be disturbed.
