Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yuan Shao's army enters the dense forest
Because the cleaning up of the chaotic arrows delayed Yuan Shao's army for some time, and the men and horses led by Zhang Lie were much smaller than Yuan Shao's army, Zhang Lie was able to take a step forward and bring this third interception line.
As soon as Zhang Lie led the team here, he saw that the team led by Li Dian had begun to evacuate, leaving only more than 100 horsemen under the leadership of Li Dian and waiting here.
Riding his horse to Li Dian's side, Zhang Lie asked in a puzzled and whispered: "Why didn't you retreat before Yuan Shao's army came, could it be that Mr. gave up the attack and turned to defend the city?" ”
"No, this is exactly what Mr. is doing." Li Dian didn't make a fuss, he took out the note directly from his arms and handed it to Zhang Lie to read.
After taking it and opening it, Zhang Lie saw that the note was written in black and white: birch bark hid in the surrounding dense forest, drove more than 100 horses back, and ordered Zhang Lie to shoot him.
Although he didn't know what Mo Shuyan meant, but now the two of them could only act according to the plan, Zhang Lie turned around and ordered more than 100 of his subordinates to go and ride with others, and then drove these spare horses back to drive back.
I don't know why more than 100 horses, in the frightened situation, the rapid back and forth galloped away, before they ran out, Zhang Lie ordered to shoot arrows, and the archers suddenly fired three volleys, nearly 10,000 sharp arrows covered down, almost no horses escaped from the sky, basically screamed, and were shot to the ground by countless sharp arrows.
Only a few horses had run through the bend before the arrows covered them, and in an instant they had lost their minds as they galloped away frantically with red eyes.
After shooting the arrows, Zhang Lie ordered his men to dismount, cooperate with the men and horses left by Li Dian, take the tree trunks that had been cut from the dense forests on both sides, and quickly pile them up on the official road, and soon blocked the official road tightly.
At this time, there was a heavy sound of horses in the distance, Li Dian and Zhang Lie glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked their subordinates to get on their horses and rush to the fourth interception place.
Soon after Li Dian and the others left, Yuan Shao, who was displeased, led the army here, and if the horses that ran back just now were not killed by Wen Chou Yan Liang, I am afraid that they would have caused a small disturbance to the lineup of the army.
It can be said that Yuan Shao, who has been repeatedly blocked, has completely lost his patience, and the anger on Yuan Shao's face is even worse when he sees the horse corpses and arrows that almost occupy the official road in front of him, as well as the mountain of tree trunks not far away.
Roughly estimating the distance from the dense forest here, Yuan Shao was ruthless in his heart, and shouted sharply: "Yan Liang, you take half of the people to open the way immediately; Wen Chou, take the other half of the men, dismount into the forest, and go forward from the dense forest to chase the enemy army, and when the official road is cleared, I will lead the army to meet you. ”
"No." Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't dare to hesitate at all, if they usually raised some objections, now Yuan Shao is obviously angry, and no one will touch their brows.
Perhaps it was the obedience of the two that made Yuan Shao feel a little more comfortable, and Yuan Shao, whose face was a little softer, nodded lightly and said no more.
Afterwards, Wen Chou took nearly half a centaur and dismounted into the dense forest, and chased forward, these woodlands that were originally shrouded by tree trunks, because the tree trunks were cut down, did not obstruct the view so much.
Yan Liang, on the other hand, led people to start cleaning up horse corpses and tree trunks, which was neither fast nor slow.
As for Yuan Shao, while waiting, he simply closed his eyes and began to calm down a little.
The soldiers who stepped on the pile of fallen leaves did not notice at all that the outer robes at their feet had gradually begun to moisten.
