Chapter 4 III Raid

The boy led the way, and he looked like a child who had been shuttling through the mountains for many years. Dara and his men followed the boy along the mountain path, and the sky grew dark. Some places were so winding that Dara had to dismount and walk to get through. Halfway through, Dara quietly asked the soldier who was acting as a guide where he was, and the soldier said that such a mountain road was already known only to the locals, not to mention that it was too late to recognize the road.

Dara began to become impatient, he had just arrived, and his unfamiliarity with the local terrain was a big pain in his face, and now it was no joke if he lost his way. Just as Dara began to wonder if the boy was on the right path, the boy stopped on a hill ahead, pointed to the bottom of the hill and said, "Sir, they are down there." ”

Darla hurriedly ran up the hill and looked down the mountain. In the valley below the mountain, the beating bonfires are like stars dotted among the dark mountains. Dara roughly estimated that there were no less than a hundred bonfires, which meant that there were at least a thousand thieves hidden here. Dara secretly rejoiced in his heart: he succeeded in this raid and won the first credit for this battle. He immediately ordered a close soldier to escort the boy to the rear, and he gathered his officers to begin to lay out the plan of attack.

After about a meal, Darla's troops quietly approached the bandits' camp. Dara pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted, "Assault!" "The first prancing horse rushed towards the thief army. Seeing this, the subordinates shouted one after another and rushed up.

A brief feeling of joy was quickly replaced by unease. Before Dara could storm the camp, he felt that something was wrong: the other side didn't even have a basic scout, and the whole camp was too quiet! The doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger, and Dara looked up at the mountains around her, and couldn't help but buzz in her head. It's surrounded by mountains, and they're steep! This is clearly a natural pocket, and your own troops are in the center of this pocket!

It's a trap for sure! That kid is a spy! Dara made such a judgment, and a cold sweat slipped down his spine. Dara was about to turn his horse's head when his men rushed over. Dara was about to shout the order to "stop" when he heard a burst of air coming towards him!

"Watch out for bows and arrows!" The words suddenly became this sentence. Darla said as she picked up the shield hanging from the saddle and raised it above her head. However, there were not many soldiers who reacted so quickly, and suddenly screams came and went.

"Hit the mark! Evacuate! Dara shouted. In fact, there is no need for him to shout, every Yaki soldier thinks so in their hearts. Just as they turned around and fled, a second wave of arrows struck.

Dara struggled to calm herself down and take a closer look at the terrain. The arrows were fired from the southwest and south, and the steepest mountains were too steep to be captured! For now, the only way to do this is to return from the original route in the northwest, and if you have left two infantry teams to cover the flanks, the situation will improve as soon as possible. At that moment, Dara ordered the troops to return the way they came, and personally led a force to the rear.

The Yagi army braved a continuous rain of arrows and struggled to return along the same path. Along the way, the Yaji army left behind an unknown number of corpses, but even so, the formation of the Yaji army showed no signs of disarray, and everyone withdrew in an orderly manner. When they were about to retreat to the mountain pass, a sudden rain of arrows shot from the flank, and dozens of soldiers fell to the ground in response. Dara hurriedly ordered the rearguard troops to cover the retreat of the main force, and not everyone could complete such a retreat process on this narrow mountain road. Dara was in a cold sweat as he directed the troops, but there was always a greater layer of doubt in his heart: the other party had clearly set such a trap, would he just use a bow and arrow against him? Will there be no pursuing troops?

The troops in front suddenly became chaotic, followed by the sound of weapons and shouts of killing. Dara has always been worried that the other party will pursue, so he took on the job of the queen of the palace, but he didn't expect the other party to try to completely block his troops in this valley! Dara immediately urged his horse to go straight to the front team. Before he arrived at the front team, he had already seen that many soldiers in the front team had fled in a hurry. The enemy's troops could not be seen in the darkness, but judging by the shouts of killing, they did not exceed two hundred. Darla urged the horse on, and it wasn't long before he saw a horse rushing straight towards him. The man on the horse, masked, dressed in a white Paz robe, with two knives in his hands, was cutting down his men to the ground one by one.

Dara was amazed at the skill of the other party's sword, and knew in his heart that this was a fierce enemy, so he reached out and took a battle axe from his subordinates and rushed towards the knight with two swords. The masked horseman swung his twin swords and attacked, and Dara did not show weakness and slashed with his tomahawk, and in an instant, he fought for more than a dozen rounds. Dara was stunned in his heart: If he hadn't used this heavy battle axe, the other party wouldn't have dared to use two knives to make a hard connection, he would have been at a disadvantage at this moment! Such a subtle sword technique is really incredible, and I am afraid that there are not a few of Yaqui's generals in this sword technique, how can there be such a powerful character among the Dils bandits!

Fortunately, due to Darla's hard work, the Yaji Army has taken the opportunity to stabilize its position and began to organize a counterattack. At this time, the rear team was in chaos again. It turned out that Woolley had come from behind with three hundred men.

Of course, Dara didn't know that Li Tianhao's original plan was to lead him into the camouflaged camp, where there were a large number of fire-starters, and once he entered, he would attack with rockets and send the entire Yaji army into a sea of fire. However, Darla's sensitivity saved the Yaki Army, and at the same time forced Li Tianhao to start the attack early, which also caused Woolley to not be in position in time to launch an attack from the rear.

But even so, at this moment, the Yaji Army is no longer able to care about each other. Dara instantly understood that the army in the rear had begun to crumble, and the rest of the troops had to break through before they collapsed as soon as possible. Therefore, he forced away the attack of the knight with two blades in quick succession, and then turned his horse's head and rushed towards the outside of the mountain pass, shouting, "Rush with me!" ”

Seeing this, Yajijun had no doubts, and ran wildly one by one. At this time, the Yaki army no longer had the will to continue fighting, and everyone only wanted to escape from this dead land.

Dara broke through the forces of the Knights of the Two Blades and sprinted all the way, and in a short time the road in front of him was so narrow that he could only walk. Dara had to jump off the horse and lead the horse forward, and just after walking a short distance, he heard a familiar voice in his ears: "Don't be in such a hurry to go, sir." ”

The boy flashed in front of him, blocking the way on the narrow mountain road.

When Dara saw this child, his eyes were full of fire, and he said hatefully: "Little rabbit, it's just that I don't go looking for you, and you dare to appear in front of me again, see that I don't kill you alive!" With that, he picked up his tomahawk and pounced.

The boy pulled out his thin sword and greeted him, but his mouth was not idle: "As General Yaki, don't you even know the basic etiquette?" My name is Alam! Remember the name in your last moments! ”

While speaking, the two of them had already gone through five or six moves, and Dara was shocked again: this kid's swordsmanship was unbelievably fast, and he was actually scratched three small cuts on his body! Dara knew that he would suffer a big loss with such a heavy weapon as a tomahawk, so he threw the tomahawk out with a wave of his hand, and took advantage of Alam's dodge to draw his sword, and the two fought together again.

After changing his weapons, Alam began to lose sight of his skills. After all, the difference in strength between the two was too far, and although Alam's fast sword cut nearly half a dozen holes in Darra's body, these small wounds could not cause damage at all, and Alam himself was almost hit by Dara and had to retreat. But with such a delay, the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Dara knew that the position he was in was too narrow, and if he couldn't open this road, then all his subordinates would be blocked here and annihilated! The sword in Darla's hand, who was anxious, also got faster and faster, and finally forced Alam out of this path. Once he left this narrow passage, Alam couldn't stop the steady stream of Yaki troops from behind, and Alam saw that the situation was not good and no longer fell in love with the battle, and directly slipped away.

Dara let her men pass through the trail one by one, staying at the end to block the trailing pursuers. When his soldiers were gone, he saw the opportunity to jump on his horse and walked away without looking back. At this time, the first rays of dawn had reached the mountains of Dils.

That night, less than 600 of the nearly 1,700 Yaqui troops who entered the valley escaped, while the 300 infantry troops arranged by Dara on both flanks were completely wiped out by the forces led by Jimda and Tatar, and the coalition army was completely victorious.
