Wei Zhongquan glanced ahead and waved his hand: "Pass the order, the whole army is in a hurry!" ”

Hearing this order, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion were all shocked, as if they had smelled the breath of killing, and the whole army ran forward, and the speed of the march suddenly accelerated, more than a step faster than before.

The ambush is exquisite, especially Wei Zhongquan, who has read several ancient Chinese military books, knows in his heart that whether an ambush can succeed or not, the preparation in the early stage is extremely important, once the scouts of the enemy army exploring the way detect that something is wrong, it will be wasted.

In this way, I went about a mile or so, and the mountain road was obscured by hills and hills, and all around were the peaks that were difficult to climb, and the trees were so dense that it was difficult to distinguish without looking closely.

"Order all teams of 1,000 people to be stationed in batches immediately, with the archery team in front!"

"Yes—"

With a low roar, the five thousand soldiers immediately took action, clearing the traces of nearby activities, and then rushed up the hill, and after ambushing in the appropriate position under the leadership of the scouts, they extinguished the torches one after another and quieted down.

There was nothing wrong with the whole process, because in the past two months, the Blue Dragon Legion had already organized several similar trainings, including how to build cover, how to communicate through simple gestures, and how to borrow surrounding branches and other items for camouflage, which was almost familiar to everyone.

In the mountains, the breeze brings a burst of coolness.

"Dashuai, is the news reliable?" Qu Yong led the 1,000-strong team, lying next to Wei Zhongquan, looking at the path below the mountain, and asked worriedly.

"Nonsense! Our soldiers have been exploring for five or six days, and they have already determined that there are two roads leading to Cannes, and the other has been cut off by the rebels. Wei Zhongquan glared at him angrily, a little hated that iron could not become steel.

The thousand-man general under his command is a good hand at leading his subordinates to charge into battle on the battlefield, but his brain is not very bright, and he is a little unbreathable.

"This night, will Zheng Jun rush overnight? You won't be in such a hurry......" Qu Yong paused for a moment and asked again.

"100,000 urgent, a great opportunity to annihilate our army's siege troops with internal and external cooperation, the local commander will definitely not miss it." Wei Zhong Quandao.

"That big man, we're going to wait here until ...... Uh......" Qu Yong was about to ask again, when he suddenly saw all the people next to him staring at him, his neck suddenly shrank, and he lay on the mound and stopped talking.

It was the beginning of the month, and there was only a crooked crescent moon on the horizon, and the five thousand soldiers were like ghosts in the night, lying motionless behind the trees and hills, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Since he didn't know how many people there were on the other side, Wei Zhongquan, as the coach, didn't know if the ambush would go well, so he kept sending scouts, carefully probing in front, and coming to report once there was a situation.

It wasn't until midnight that a glimmer of light finally lit up in the distance.

Here it comes?

Wei Zhong was in his heart, tonight is the first major battle after the Cang army entered Zheng Guo, and success or failure is related to the trend of the battle situation, which can be said to be very important.

About half a cup of tea, a small group of scouts came back and clarified the situation.

Sure enough, after a while, the light became denser and denser, and a long fire dragon appeared in view, hurried towards this side with a noisy sound, and in front of the group, a group of scouts on horseback, explored the way a mile in front of the group.

Seeing this, the hearts of the soldiers lying on the front line tightened, and they held their breath, and the ambush of 5,000 soldiers in the col almost occupied a hill, if it was discovered by these enemy scouts, then today's ambush would be in vain.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the night, the Zheng army scouts who were exploring the road in front were not too vigilant, and they didn't expect that there were 5,000 Cangjun soldiers in ambush on the continuous mountain col.

Wei Zhongquan breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the scouts to pass, and let the herald make a series of gestures to signal the archers to prepare.

No, to be exact, it should be a crossbow team.

Stacked on the hill, the crossbows were positioned and aimed at the mountain path below, looking like monstrous war monsters in the moonlight.

Originally, each thousand-man team was equipped with a hundred crossbowmen, and the entire Blue Dragon Legion was a total of five hundred crossbowmen, but the roles were often reversed in wars, so before that, each thousand-man team selected a hundred soldiers with relatively good archery skills, which was just enough for a thousand crossbowmen.

As the support of the crossbow team, there are a total of 100 crossbows!

That's right, a hundred!

At the beginning, before the army set out, the Ministry of Science and Technology research and development day and night, after several transformations, finally fixed the model of the repeater, delivered to the Ministry of Industry to manufacture, day after day of rushing to work, a total of 20 repeaters when the expedition was made, and now nearly half a month has passed, and 80 repeaters have been transported from the territory of Cangguo, together with enough 100.

The waiting time is always long, and time passes little by little, and for the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Army, every moment is torment.

Finally, Zheng Guo's army reached the predetermined ambush site with torches, and the sound of horses' hooves and the chatter of some soldiers on the way floated to his ears.

"Shoot the arrows—"

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion who were in ambush on both sides of the mountain road rushed out of the bunker one after another, and the crossbowmen were the first to react and opened the hook hand of the repeater.

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

The arrows in the sky flew towards Zheng Jun from both sides like rain, and the crossbow was mixed with the sound of ordinary bows and arrows, and the sound was tight and urgent.

A hundred repeaters fired, opening a fierce salvo.

On the mountain road, there was a strange popping sound, as if something had pierced the flesh, accompanied by a terrible scream, and the whole army was in chaos.

Wave after wave of arrows poured down, and they shot specifically towards the place where there were torches, and in just a few dozen breaths, there was not a single moving torch in sight on the mountain road.

"Help—"

"Ahh I'm on fire! ”

"Run—"

"We are in ambush! General, where is the general! ”

"What to do—"

The Zheng soldiers shouted in horror and panicked, especially the peasant soldiers who accompanied the army, crying and crawling all over the ground, trembling.

It was not only the soldiers who were in such a state, but also the generals who rode on horseback, and when the horses were frightened, because there were no stirrups or anything like that, many generals fell directly from their horses and fell to the mud.

For example, Jiang Yingbo, a thousand-person general, saw the soldiers around him fall one by one, and even the guards around him were scattered under the disturbance of waves of arrows and war horses.

At this moment, he already realized that he had been ambushed, but in this dark night, he couldn't tell the surrounding situation at all, and he didn't know what order to give at all, not to mention that this person shouted and neighed, and a person's voice would soon be drowned out in the crowd.

With years of battlefield experience, Jiang Yingbo judged according to the density of arrows around him that the enemy army also had at least 3,000 archers, and according to the calculation of the proportion of archers in an army, that is to say, the size of the enemy army was at least 10,000 or more!

This inference made the fear in his heart even stronger, and the fear of the unknown made a thousand people who had been in battle for a long time tremble unconsciously.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air in front of him, and before he could react, he suddenly felt something penetrate the leather armor on his body with strong force and pierce into his body.

Arrows!

He subconsciously touched his chest, but he could only feel a short section outside.

Is this an arrow?

In the face of pain and death, Jiang Yingbo's heart rose a kind of unwillingness, the length of the arrow is about the same, because to keep the arrow, the shaft, and the feather of the arrow in a balance, to achieve the most ideal range and accuracy, the shape of the arrow is about the same, especially the length, and the arrow inserted into his body is much shorter than the ordinary arrow!

With such a short arrow, it is necessary to use a smaller bow, how can it still have such great power?

Could it be that Cangguo has developed a new kind of bow and arrow?

You don't use good weapons, but you need worse ones?

Jiang Yingbo thought in horror, and immediately felt as if his whole body was light, and all the pain quickly disappeared, and the whole person floated upwards like smoke.

Then he couldn't feel anything more.

"Smack-"

Like a dead thing, it fell heavily to the ground. ()
