Chapter 248: Su Dingfang's First Battle (3)
With Su Lie's order, the horn sounded, and thousands of crossbowmen shouted in unison, stood up from the grass and rocks on both sides of the steep slope, and fired thousands of arrows at the Yuan army under their feet, like a downpour, majestic down, and the Yuan soldiers who shot turned on their backs, screaming for a long time.

This was not enough, as Su Lie gave another order
Huge rolling logs and falling rocks roared down with a strong wind.
On the top of the mountain, the party soldiers rolled up their sleeves, and couldn't help but push up a huge mountain stone, under the action of strong inertia, the mountain stone roared with a strong wind to roll up the rolling dust, crushed down the small grass buds that were trying to stretch their bodies, and rushed to the Jizhou soldiers holding spears with the strength of a thousand jun.
The Jizhou soldiers who flocked to attack on both sides of the hillside were no longer calm, and their flesh and blood were vulnerable in the face of the boulders rolling down from the top of the mountain, and they were crushed into meat cakes in the moment they ran slowly, except for a wail before they died, which echoed in the valley for a long time.
But what if they could run fast, there was a rushing water in front of them, and behind them were huge boulders and rolling logs, which were stained with the flesh and blood of their comrades, and a thick layer not only did not hinder the momentum of the advance, but showed great arrogance, rolling faster and faster, until they were driven down the steep riverbank.
Round after round of boulders and rolling logs took away the lives of countless Yuan soldiers, Ju Yi was so angry that he really couldn't figure out why he set up an ambush in the most unlikely place.
"Kill!"
Seeing that Sergeant Yuan was on his back and turned over without any formation, Ju Yi was also squeezed by the panicked crowd and dizzy, Su Lie was overjoyed, waved his order, and the whole army rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.
When setting up an ambush, Su Lie ordered people to prepare a large number of pennants, and tied a few straw men, and ordered people to put them out when the army rushed down the mountain.
At this moment, the pennant hunting on the mountain, there are many people, and the mountains are full of Shangdang soldiers with spears and big guns.
"General, the Shangdang army has rushed down, there are a lot of people!" Ju Yi's personal lieutenant pointed at the mountain of Shangdang soldiers in horror and shouted.
"Quick! Evacuate! Ju Yi gave the order to retreat as he jerked his horse's buttocks.
Didn't you say that there were only 5,000 people in Su Lie's department? Why are there so many here? There are five or six thousand people, and there are so many thieves in Montenegro, so he doesn't leave some people to guard them?
In addition to the slow doubts and fears in Ju Yi's mind, all that was left was to leave this place quickly.
Under the leadership of Su Lie, the Shangdang soldiers swarmed to kill the panicked Yuan soldiers, and the Shangdang soldiers were like wolves into the flock, frantically slashing and killing the Yuan soldiers who only cared about fleeing without the slightest resistance.
"Kill!"
After chasing for a mile, the Shangdang soldiers slashed and slashed until their hands were soft, and the blades were tired, Su Lie waved his hand and ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit.
The adjutant general gasped, unable to hide his excited and flushed face, and wondered: "Such a great opportunity, why didn't the general order to chase and kill?" ”
"It's okay, you can't eat a big fat man in one go, isn't there Niu Boyuan in front of you?" Su Lie glanced at the soldiers of Yuan who were gradually moving away, turned his head and ordered the soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield and return to the side of the Black Mountain thieves as quickly as possible.
The Black Mountain thieves only left a thousand soldiers to guard, although there is the temptation of food to make them stable, but if there are really people who plot against the law, they will jump out and make trouble, I am afraid that all their efforts will be reduced to ashes.
After running wildly for another mile, seeing that there were no more pursuers behind him, the soldiers of the Yuan army stopped their trembling steps, breathed in the humid air, and looked back behind them from time to time, for fear that there would be a party soldier chasing after him.
In the face of countless boulders and rolling logs, dying next to each other, and being injured when touched, Sergeant Yuan had palpitations, and ran all the way, in addition to seeing whether there were pursuers behind him, he also had to raise his head and look at the mountains on both sides, especially the bare hills, for fear that a group of Shangdang soldiers and horses would emerge there.
"What about the casualties?" Ju Yi's face was full of frost, and he asked the lieutenant who was sprinting on the money.
"This .........," the lieutenant lowered his head, pursed his lips, and muttered, not knowing how to answer.
I don't know if I don't know the statistics, but when I counted it, I directly scared the deputy general, more than 10,000 soldiers, and they didn't even fight with the Shangdang soldiers, and they lost nearly 4,000 people in the first battle, which can be described as a big defeat, which is also extremely rare in Juyi's fighting career, and the deputy general really dare not say.
"Say!" Ju Yi yelled, his eyes wide with anger, and he stared at the lieutenant general.
Ju Yi didn't know the result and didn't give up, and the deputy general didn't dare to look at Ju Yi's eyes, and whispered: "Four thousand casualties"
The imaginary yelling did not come, the deputy general raised his head slightly, only to see Ju Yi gritting his teeth and looking at Zi Shui upstream, that look hated to swallow Su Lie alive, swallowed and foamed, the deputy general lowered his head again, at this time he didn't dare to touch Ju Yi's brows.
"General Ju, why don't we go back and kill him by surprise!" Wei Yuanjin brandished a double hammer and shouted, Zhang Quan easily broke into Jizhou, causing Yuan Shao to lose face in front of the world, Yuan Shao's humiliation is to humiliate these civil servants and military generals who follow him, and he has long held back his strength and waited to defeat Zhang Quan, and finally had the opportunity to frustrate Zhang Quan, and it became like this again, don't be annoyed.
"No!" Ju Yi waved his hand to stop Wei Yuanjin, the intelligence showed that Su Lie's department only had more than 5,000 people, but now calculated, in addition to the men and horses who were put into the battlefield to ambush them and the men and horses guarding the Black Mountain bandits, Su Lie's department also had at least more than 10,000 people, and the strength was equal to theirs, and they raided when they were defenseless, and this defeat was unjust.
But Ju Yi is still very uncomfortable, one is a nobody, the other is a famous general in the world, and he will not let the world laugh at it.
Now excluding the thousands of people guarding the Black Mountain bandits, the current personnel of the Shangdang Su Lie's department are roughly equal to them. With the condition of knowing the roots, Ju Yi is still confident that he will defeat Su Lie.
"The soldiers have already lost their hearts, and it is difficult to have a chance of winning at this time, so it is better to rest for a while and then make plans!" Looking at the soldiers with fluttering eyes and uncertain minds, Ju Yi analyzed.
"Wouldn't it be too cheap if they ran away?" Yuan Jin said with annoyance.
"Run?" Ju Yi snorted coldly, "The people of Taihang Mountain regard them as thieves, but in Zhang Quan's eyes, they are fragrant and sweet, how can they be easily abandoned, as long as the Black Mountain thieves are still there, Su Lie will desperately protect them." ”
"That's a good opportunity!" Yu Yuanjin nodded.
Ju Yi raised his eyes and looked at the bare and steep mountain, and couldn't help but feel a burst of disgust, "The mountains here are steep, it's better to retreat a mile and rest before making a decision." ”
"It's good!" Following Ju Yi's gaze, Wei Yuanjin also had palpitations when he looked over, who would have thought that he would set up an ambush in such a place.
Ju Yi ordered the army to continue to retreat, and the Yuan army, which had low morale, meandered along the Zishui, not more than a mile, the mountains on both sides were slightly slower and were on the shade side, the forest was dense, it was dark, and it was very easy to hide tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
This place is already in the lower reaches of the Zishui River, the mountains are low and slow, and the vegetation is forested, so Ju Yi ordered the army to rest here for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to annihilate Su Lie's troops in one fell swoop.
Choosing this place, Ju Yi also thought about it, Su Lie did the opposite and set up an ambush in the most unlikely place, so he Ju Yi also did the opposite, camping in the place where he least thought he could camp.
This move was intended to confuse Su Lie, if Su Lie led the army to chase, what kind of situation he saw, he would definitely suspect Ju Yi's intentions and make him hesitate.
Just when Ju Yi fantasized about Su Lie racking his brains thinking about Ju Yi's actions.
Suddenly, there was a bang in the forest. (To be continued.) )
