Chapter 348: Rain of Arrows
The three-zhang high arrow tower was like walking on the ground at Wei Yan's feet, and with a little bit of strength, he flew up to one of the arrow towers in one leap.
There were five sentries in this arrow tower, four of them were drowsy, and only one was still on guard, and they found that Wei Yan suddenly jumped up, and the sentry was just about to send out a warning signal, but Wei Yan broke his neck.
When quietly dealing with enemy sentries, it is best not to use swords. Because, with the addition of swords, even if you can quietly eliminate the enemy sentry, it will also bleed all over the ground; And this smell of blood is likely to be smelled.
Lean the dead sentry against the fence of the turret so that it looks like he is still on guard from a distance.
Not far away, two hundred steps away, on another arrow tower, there were three Shu army sentries pacing, but no one looked here. Besides, even if someone looked over, they wouldn't be able to find anything.
In the dim light of the torches, two hundred paces away, only a figure could barely be seen!
Next, Wei Yan twisted the necks of the other four sentries at once.
Quietly touching the arrow tower, Wei Yan lurked towards the second arrow tower.
As concocted, the sentries of the Shu army on the second arrow tower and the third arrow tower were quickly solved by Wei Yan.
Later, a torch was shaken three times by Wei Yan.
This is Wei Yan's subordinates who have been waiting at the foot of the summoning mountain for a long time.
Soon, a group of archers poured up the hill, and they all found the dim spot of the torch light to stand still.
"Target the camp tent of the enemy army in the valley, one arrow per person, and immediately go down the mountain after shooting, and return to Jiameng Pass on a mount!"
Wei Yan whispered again.
Twenty-four arrows in one barrel, and after a thousand archers have shot one arrow, it is almost twenty-four thousand.
Now, the Shu army sleeps mostly in tents, and one hundred and ten feather arrows can cover one tent, and twenty-four thousand feather arrows can cover more than two hundred tents, which is almost half of the total number of Shu army tents in the valley.
Of course, because it was a blind shot, it was impossible to guarantee that the Shu army in every tent would be shot.
However, even if you can shoot and injure one-third, this can cause a lot of casualties to the vanguard of the Shu army!
"It's a pity, it's not autumn and winter, otherwise if a round of rockets goes down, the Shu army in this valley will be ashes!"
Seeing that the archers under his command were all ready to take place, Wei Yan still thought with a little regret.
Fire attack needs to look at the season, and it also needs to look at the time of the day. Now that summer has just passed, everything has not yet been depressed, and it is impossible to attack with fire. Even if the rockets were to be fired, it would be up to the question of how many tents they could ignite.
……
After a while, with Wei Yan's order, thousands of archers opened their bows and arrows, and the arrows pointed straight at the sky, and then, with the word "put", followed by a "biubiu" sound instantly tore through the night sky.
This is the archers throwing.
The height of the peak, plus the projectile, gave the bow and arrow a maximum range of two hundred paces away.
At least half of the valley at your feet was within range of the archers.
"When! While! While! ”
The moment the rain of arrows tore through the night sky, the alarm bell rang.
This alarm bell did not come from the Shu army camp in the valley, but the Shu army sentries on the two mountain peaks next to it, and the Shu army sentries on the arrow towers found out that something was wrong as soon as the arrow rain sounded, so they rang the alarm bell.
"Enemy attack!"
The alarm bell sounded, and the camp in the valley instantly boiled.
It's just that before the Shu army could react, several tents were shot into hedgehogs; The screams of the soldiers before their deaths were also heard in these tents. Occasionally, there were a few cries of pain, but they quickly disappeared.
The rain of arrows continued to fall, and the soldiers of the Shu army were also startled.
Some people were dressed up, and rushed out with their weapons; Some of them didn't even wear armor, and they rushed out with their weapons.
However, they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and many were shot at the door of the tent.
The ground between the tents was also littered with dead bodies.
For a time, there was a river of blood in the valley.
After five waves of arrow rain, the soldiers of the Shu army finally reacted, well, to be more precise, those soldiers of the Shu army who were not within the range of the archers, they finally reacted: a team of shield soldiers, braving the rain of arrows, drove into the area covered by the rain of arrows and began to save the dead and help the wounded.
Of course, another thing after the Shu army reacted was to kill Wei Yan and the mountain where they were!
Thousands of sword and shield soldiers, grabbing torches, began to rush to the top of the mountain.
……
On the top of the mountain, twenty could not breathe, the quivers of the archers were shot empty, and the hands of many archers began to swing. Even, the last few rounds of arrow rain had a range of less than 100 paces.
"Withdraw!" Wei Yan ordered.
Wei Yan didn't need to look at the results of the battle at all. This night attack basically went according to his expectations, even if he didn't look at the results, he could guess how many casualties this night attack caused to the vanguard of the Shu army.
Hearing the order to retreat, the archers did not delay and retreated down the mountain in an orderly manner.
Not far from the foot of the mountain is their mount.
As long as they stepped on the war horse, they didn't need an hour, and they could return to Jiameng Pass.
As for the pursuit of enemy troops?
In the middle of the night, does the Shu army have the courage to pursue?
Especially when the Shu army has just been attacked by the night, if the Shu army pursues again, isn't it afraid of being ambushed again?
The archers withdrew, but Wei Yan remained on the top of the mountain.
The Shu army already had thousands of sword and shield soldiers, and they were about to reach the top of the mountain, Wei Yan saw the person who led the team, the reason why he stayed was not to break the archers under his command, but to teach this person another lesson
The second disciple of the Gun King Tong Yuan, the last time he was under Jia Mengguan, he Wei Yan had taught him.
This time, he didn't mind teaching Zhang Ren another lesson.
Of course, for Zhao Zilong's sake, he, Wei Yan, would not hurt Zhang Ren's life.
……
Under the dim light of the torches, the Shu army, which had finally reached the top of the mountain, looked around blankly, but did not find the enemy who had just shot arrows.
However, when I looked at it from a distance, I happened to see a lot of torches, which were fleeing in the direction of Jiameng Pass: when the enemy army came to attack at night, it was naturally impossible to carry torches, but now that the night attack was over, it was natural to use torches when I returned.
"Damn! After a rain of arrows, he ran away, and if there was a kind of stay, he would fight with his grandfather for 300 rounds! ”
Looking at the direction of Jia Mengguan, Zhang Ren roared angrily.
The rain of arrows that the Hanzhong army attacked just now, even if the statistics have not yet been reported, there is still a spectrum of how much Zhang Ren is missing. In less than half a moment, the soldiers in the valley lost at least three thousand, and possibly more.
I just asked for battle in the morning, and I haven't engaged the enemy yet, and I lost so many soldiers in the night?
Zhang Ren felt that his cheeks on both sides were a little hot and a little painful!
Furious, Zhang Renzheng hesitated to pursue, but suddenly rushed to a murderous awe.
"Zhang Ren, a certain Wei Yan has been waiting for a long time again!"
A sword light, accompanied by Wei Yan's voice, appeared in front of Zhang Ren. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
