Text 227.The Battle of Yunnan (XXIV)

Hundreds of sturdy soldiers of the Ming army rushed to the foot of the arrow tower, and dozens of people closest to the arrow tower raised their bows and crossbows at the same time, locking the window on the second floor for the first time.

The bows and crossbows in the hands of dozens of people did not stop, and one arrow after another shot accurately into the window. As the arrows flew in, they heard a burst of screams coming from the window, and the Yi people who tried to release the arrows in front of the window were either dead or injured.

At the same time when the Ming army attacked the arrow tower and the big pit, there was also a fierce battle in the Yi camp at the foot of the mountain.

The Ming army here is personally commanded by Guo Ying, there is no scruple of encountering monsters, the morale of the Ming army along the way is very strong, and the soldiers who have been holding back their strength are extremely brave at the moment, tens of thousands of people shouted and killed, and rushed into the camp with a rainbow of momentum, and cut down every person.

The main general who commanded the Yi army was Yihe Ai Zhuo, who won two battles in a row, and he was squeamish and didn't take the Ming army seriously at all. I didn't expect the Ming army to sneak attack again, and I couldn't organize an effective counterattack in a hurry, and the Yi people suffered heavy losses for a while, and the entire Yi army camp was in chaos.

Although the camp is in chaos, but Yihe and Eldraine's brain is not messed up, he still has the last killer weapon, the last time he was sneak attacked, he relied on the killer weapon to turn defeat into victory, this time it must be no problem.

Yihe Ai Zhuo is worthy of being the leader for many years, he is calm and calm, and he has gathered thousands of brothers in his own village, with his banner as the center, more and more Yi people have gathered around him, so that more than 2,000 people have gathered in the chaotic army, and under his leadership, these two thousand people desperately broke through in the direction of the mountainside of the back mountain.

Seeing that the enemy army was defeated, Guo Ying was not in a hurry to pursue, but hurried to consolidate the current results, and at the same time ordered: "Set fire and burn the camp." ”

Just when Guo Ying set fire to the Yi camp, Yao Guangqi's people and horses also made progress, the two arrow towers near the mountain have been completely conquered, and the two arrow towers near the mountain are still resisting, but they are also pressed in the arrow tower by the Ming army in front of them, and they dare not show their heads and dare not attack.

With Yao Guangqi's order, a group of Ming soldiers came to the mouth of the pit. Unlike the other soldiers, the bows in the hands of this group of soldiers have been replaced with rockets, and they shoot rockets downward when they stand at the mouth of the pit, and many monsters in the pit are shot by rockets and make miserable screams, but the lack of grass and trees in the pit does not cause a fire in the pit.

After the first round of rockets, and when the second round was fired, there was almost no sound of monsters howling, and it was obvious that the monsters had retreated into the dead end of the arrows.

Yao Guangqi listened carefully to the movement in the pit, while paying close attention to the direction of the mountain in front of him, and soon, a scout ran in the dark, came straight to Yao Guangqi, and only said: "Come up." ”

Yao Guangqi nodded and ordered without hesitation: "Withdraw." ”

The soldiers of the Ming army did not say much, and immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner.

When Yi and Eldraine returned to the pit, he was really taken aback by the scene in front of him, the two arrow towers near the bottom of the mountain were burning with raging fires, and there were dozens of corpses lying on the sides outside the arrow towers, and all of them were their own people.

What made Yihe Ai Zhuo even more angry was that the doors of the two arrow towers in the direction of the mountain only opened slowly for half a day, and several Yi people looked out from the probe in the arrow tower.

"What's going on?" Boxer and Eldraine pointed to the crackling that had been burned by the fire

The arrow tower asked angrily.

One of them, the Yi people, who seemed to be the leader, replied timidly: "We were secretly attacked, the Ming army has hit, there are thousands of people, and we really can't hold it." ”

Yihe Ai Zhuo understood, the Ming army divided the troops into two ways, and attacked the camp and here at the same time, the way here was to delay, not to let the spirit beast have the opportunity to reinforce his camp, he couldn't control his temper, raised his hand and slapped again: "Why don't you let the spirit beast come out!" ”

The Yi man was very aggrieved, covered his face and replied: "It's too late, there are too many Han soldiers, crossbow arrows are shooting like raindrops, we can't get out at all, you see the brothers on the two floors, they all rushed out and were shot to death, we don't have time to release spirit beasts at all." ”

Yihe and Eldraine were so angry that they were willing to listen to this person's explanation, and they couldn't say that they slapped him twice, and only after the beating did he say: "Go now, put down the rope, and let the spirit beasts out." ”

These Yi people did not dare to slack off, and quickly beckoned people to take out a few bundles of rope from the arrow tower, the rope was thicker than the man's arm, one end of the rope was tied to the arrow tower, and the other end was thrown down into the big pit, but after waiting for a while, there was no thing in the big pit to climb up.

Yihe Eldra asked anxiously and angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

The beaten Yi subconsciously took a step back and replied timidly: "Just now, the Han people shot arrows below, and they were all rockets, which may have frightened the spirit beasts." ”

Yihe Eldra snorted, walked to the mouth of the big pit, lowered his head and shouted twice, and then muttered something in his mouth, and there was a response from below, and there were monsters that kept making oooh screams, and then, the spirit beast climbed up along the rope.

Soon, hundreds of spirit beasts climbed up from the pit, only to see Yi and Eldra angrily gestured a few times, and then pointed in the direction of the front mountain and screamed a few times, those monsters were also very excited, oh oh a strange scream, rushed in the direction of the front mountain.

When the hundreds of spirit beasts of Yihe Eldraine returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already slightly bright, and the camp was already in flames, and Yihe Eldraine jumped to his feet angrily.

Seeing that the Ming army had retreated, Yihe Eldraine could only see the rear of the Ming army in a shadow. He swore revenge, looked up to the sky and roared, pointing at the Ming army in the distance, and those spirit beasts also roared, and then rushed towards the Ming army.

Guo Ying, who was personally behind the palace, had been observing the rear, and when he saw that the monster had really caught up, a subtle smile appeared on his face, and then he ordered: "Turn to the southeast and speed up." ”

The two thousand palace queens led by Guo Ying rode lightly and gradually turned to the southeast.

Yihe and Ai Zhuo were eager for revenge, where did they notice that the Ming army changed the direction of escape, and the spirit beasts only ran wildly with all their might, running at a speed no less than that of war horses, and soon chased dozens of miles away.

At this time, a valley appeared in front of him, and the Ming army entered the valley in the blink of an eye, and Yihe Eldraine knew that the valley was called the Valley of the Savages, and it was a valley with few people. He had a long heart, and in order to prevent the Ming army from cheating, he shouted a few times and ordered the spirit beasts to slow down, and the pursuing team stopped outside the valley.

After running for dozens of miles, the spirit beasts were also very tired, one by one hunched over and panting, Yihe and Eldra cautiously beat their horses to the mouth of the valley, vigilantly looked inside, there was no road in the valley, the grass and trees were overgrown, and the soldiers of the Ming army had all turned over and dismounted, leading the horses to move forward with difficulty.

Seeing this scene, Yihe Eldraine suddenly put his heart at ease, thinking that he had entered such a valley, you are bringing about your own destruction, and he no longer had any doubts, and waved his hand

With a shout, the spirit beasts rushed into the valley like crazy.

Who knew that the spirit beasts had just entered the valley, and the Ming army in the valley had mysteriously disappeared out of thin air, and the spirit beasts could not find the target, and they were blind everywhere, and they didn't know what to do.

Yihe Ai Zhuo looked up, my God, I saw the rolling wood and stones on the mountain smashed down like raindrops, and the spirit beasts in the valley were immediately in chaos, fleeing in all directions, and the spirit beasts who walked at the end stood cheap, turned around and fled in the direction of Taniguchi, but more spirit beasts pushed each other and blocked the way due to chaos, and there was no chance to retreat to Taniguchi.

With a desperate howl, hundreds of spirit beasts were smashed to death on the spot by rolling wood and stones, and Taniguchi was also blocked by large stones.

At the same time, rows of bright fire points rose from the top of the mountain, drawing bright arcs, falling into the valley, the valley immediately burst into flames, the surviving spirit beasts under the rolling wood and stones, finally could not escape the doom, they let out a burst of terrifying cries, the voice was desolate and desperate, and the Yi people and spirit beasts outside the valley trembled.

Completely contrary to Yihe Ai Zhuo, who was ambushed, Yao Guangqi on the mountain seemed to be in high spirits at this moment, he pointed to the fire in the valley, and said to Zhang Yu proudly: "Without this valley, our plan would not be realized. ”

Looking in the direction of Yao Guangqi's finger, those injured spirit beasts have been burned to death, and although some spirit beasts have also been caught on fire, their movements are quite flexible, tenaciously climbing up along the mountain walls on both sides, how could the Ming soldiers above allow them to climb up the mountain, bursts of arrows and rolling wood tilted down like raindrops, and the spirit beasts that were still trying to climb were smashed down, fell into the sea of fire, fell to death and burned to death.

Yao Guangqi did not have pity for the lives of these monsters, he seemed to be talking to himself: "Now you understand, why don't the Yi people choose a more secret place to lock up these beasts." Because there is no fire on the stone mountain, because these monsters are also afraid of fire, they are afraid of fire if they are livestock, and wild beasts are even more afraid of fire, and these monsters, although they don't know what they are, are actually animals, and they are born afraid of fire. ”

Listening to the screams of the spirit beasts in the valley, Yi and Ai Zhuo outside the valley beat their chests in annoyance, he smashed his head hard, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and counted, and there were less than a hundred spirit beasts that successfully escaped.

These hundred or so spirit beasts had already been frightened by the rolling wood and stones in the valley, and they were also looking at Yihe Eldraine sadly. At the same time, the spirit beasts were constantly trembling, and from their eyes and body language, Righteous and Ellie read fear and cowardice.

Just when Yihe and Eldraine were at a loss, two ambushes suddenly appeared on both sides, and both teams of men and horses had thousands of people.

Guo Ying's army was defeated twice under these monsters, and the soldiers were holding their breath, and now they finally defeated these monsters, and the soldiers were determined to beat the water dogs, and they all fought hard to beat their horses and whips, and chased after them.

In this way, Yihe Eldraine and his remnant spirit beasts were chased by the Ming army for most of the day, and during this half day, he fled in a panic like a lost dog. The Ming army seems to have already set up a net, no matter where he flees, the Ming army will follow, so after escaping for most of the day, Yihe Eldraine and the spirit beasts have been fleeing without purpose.
