Chapter 347: [Jungle Ambush]
Liu Bao looked at Guo Yuan with disdain: "General Guo, aren't you scared?" Wei Yan's men and horses are attacking the city, how can they send people to ambush us? Besides, we can only reach Baibo Pass through this dense forest! ”
Guo Yuan was said by Liu Bao, and his face was a little unbearable: "King Zuoxian, if you insist on doing so, then I will give you the queen of the Hun army!" ”
Liu Bao had long been dissatisfied with Guo Yuan's yelling at him, but now he was very dissatisfied with Guo Yuan's retreat, and scolded in a low voice: "Guts rats! Then he beckoned the Hun scouts to quickly search the dense forest to see if there was any ambush.
Those Hun scouts entered this dense jungle, searched half of the place, not only did not find any trace of the enemy, but touched a few hornet's nests, were stung a bag, hugged the head of the mouse, and came back to report: "King Xian, there are many mosquitoes and flies here, it is impossible to hide the enemy!" ”
Liu Bao glanced at Guo Yuan contemptuously, and ordered loudly: "The god of Kunlun is above, my fearless Hun warriors, through this forest, we can wipe out Wei Yan'er, as soon as Wei Yan dies, our Hun army can take Hedong County, and then take Guanzhong, and the glory of our ancestor Mao Dun Da Dan Yu will be revived in our hands!" Revive the Great Huns, in one fell swoop, rush! ”
Guo Yuan looked at Liu Bao, who looked like he had been beaten with chicken blood, his face sank like water, and he beckoned the only remaining 4,000 Yuan troops under his command, ready to retreat at any time.
Liu Bao took the lead and rushed into the riverbed in the middle of the dense forest.
The Hun cavalry followed, galloping for more than three miles, and saw that they were about to get out of the dense forest, but they still did not find anything abnormal.
Liu Bao laughed and said: "Guo Yuan is really a gutsless rat, he is afraid of the enemy, what kind of face does he have to be a general who protects the Huns!" ”
Liu Bao's laughter did not stop, and he saw several big trees in front of him fall down violently, those big trees are very thick, it takes several people to hug them, and they are all seven or eight zhang high, such a big tree fell to the ground, it was difficult to move, and firmly blocked the way of the Hun cavalry.
Liu Bao hurriedly shouted: "There is an ambush, withdraw, hurry up!" ”
Before Liu Bao's order reached the back, several dull loud noises were heard, and several thick and tall trees fell from the rear tail of the Hun cavalry, blocking the retreat of the Hun cavalry.
At the same time, on the slopes on either side of the dense forest, thousands of arrows were fired at the Hun cavalry, who were merely dressed in leather armor, perhaps cherishing the horses, and these arrows were fired at the riders, not the horses.
Most of the Hun cavalry hid in stirrups and avoided the rain of arrows.
The archers of the Wei army had long expected that their Hun cavalry had such a stunt, and after shooting a round of arrow feathers, they stopped for a while, and waited for these Hun cavalry to show their heads and ride their horses, and another round of arrow feathers flew over.
More than 20,000 Hun cavalry, under the beckoning of Liu Bao, opened their bows and arrows, and shot into the dense forest, trying to fight back.
But the dense forest has already been repaired by the Wei Yan Wei army, when the Wei army's archers shoot into the river valley, each archer can find their own arrow feather flight route, to ensure that it is not blocked by trees, and these archers are wearing hoods woven from leaves, coated with grass green juice, hiding in the dense forest, and the woods are the same color, and these archers have sword and shield soldiers in front of them holding wooden shields for defense.
The more than 20,000 Hun cavalry couldn't see the location of the Wei archers at all, so they had to blindly shoot on both sides of the dense forest, so aimlessly, only a few hundred feather arrows hit the Wei archers, most of the feather arrows were blocked by trees, these Hun cavalry showed their heads and shot, exposing their positions, attracting the Wei archers to cover the sky and the sun to retaliate.
Whoosh, everywhere there was the terrible sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air, the sound of puffing arrow feathers burrowing into the body, followed by a large number of terrible screams, and some war horses were inevitably shot, letting out bursts of wails.
In this narrow river valley, the war horses can't gallop at all, if it weren't for the Wei soldiers who were ordered by General Wei Yan to shoot as few war horses as possible, otherwise these Hun cavalry and their war horses would become a honeycomb.
Liu Bao had already been hit by an arrow in his back, he snorted miserably, fell down the horse, and shouted: "Abandon the horse!" Abandon the horse! He passed down the military order and crawled forward.
Many Hun cavalry did the same, abandoned their horses, carried sabers, and crawled forward, in a vain attempt to climb over the huge trees that blocked the way and escape from this ambush circle.
On the slopes on both sides of the dense forest, the Wei spearmen and sword and shield soldiers who were originally lying on the ground quickly got up, waved their swords and guns, and rushed towards the Hun cavalry who were not good at walking. ”
The Southern Xiongnu have been sinicized for nearly a hundred years, and most of the Xiongnu know the Chinese language, especially this Chinese language, because their parents will tell them this sentence before they go out to fight for those tribal leaders, and teach them that once they hear this kind of words, and then see that the situation is not right, they must immediately throw away their weapons and lie on the ground.
The Huns have lived together with the Han people for nearly a hundred years, and they have learned the cunning of the Han people cleanly, and they have disdained things like the Kunlun gods, they know that their lives are their own, and there is no need to lose their lives for those tribal nobles who are high up and powerful.
A considerable part of the Hun cavalry saw that the exit of the dense forest was far away from them, and the Wei sabers and spearmen who were waiting for their work were about to be killed, and if they wanted to resist, they could only be stabbed to death, so why should they live with their lives, anyway, did the Wei army also incorporate the Hun cavalry, it is said that the two thousand Hun cavalry who followed Wei Yan's general Xu Huang mixed very well, and they all had the names of the Han people, and some of them also became officers.
Those Hun cavalry all agreed, dropped their weapons, fell to the ground, and shouted in Chinese: "We are willing to join the Wei army!" ”
Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, looked back and saw those Hun cavalry meekly lying on the ground and begging to surrender to the Wei army, he was immediately disheartened, the Great Huns may not be able to revive again, and these descendants of Mao Dun did not have a trace of courage!
Wei Yan held a telescope polished from crystal, stood on a gentle slope in the deepest part of the dense forest, and calmly watched the stalemate of the battle.
Seeing Liu Bao abandon his horse and flee, Wei Yan smiled coldly: "If you want to escape, ask my Wu Hu if he agrees!" ”
Wei Yan instigated the black horse, brandished the red blood knife, and led two thousand guards to kill from one side.
Dian Wei instigated the blue-maned horse, brandished the big iron halberd, and led the two thousand guards to kill from the other side.
It turned out that Wei Yan had already ordered someone to cut a passage from the depths of the dense forest to the exit of the dense forest, and covered it with weeds at the entrance of the dense forest, which seemed impossible to enter, and the scouts sent by Liu Bao were not able to see through the other way behind the thick weeds.
