Chapter 454: Buying Time

Yan Sui's big iron lance and Shi Hong's iron spear slammed together again in the air, and both arms were suddenly painful and numb, and the weapons were almost out of their hands and flew away. They shouted "Ahh

At this time, there was a sudden thunderous cry from the position of the Qin army: "Shi Hong, I have repeatedly ordered you to retreat, why don't you obey the general's order!" ”

Yan Sui saw that the man had a white face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, was more than eight feet tall, and was about thirty years old. White robe and silver armor, wearing a silver helmet, with two pheasant tail feathers more than half a foot floating on the back of his head, not angry and arrogant.

Judging from his appearance, this person should be the higher-ranking general of the Qin army, and I heard that Sima Cuo himself is not very old, so he should be Sima Cuo, the chief general of the Qin State.

Yan Sui heard Sima mistakenly shouting Shi Hong back to the battle, and felt that he was already angry in his chest. When Shi Hong heard the call of the main general, he didn't dare to fight anymore, so he hurriedly withdrew his gun, turned his horse's head and returned to the camp.

Before leaving, Shi Hong was still not convinced, and shouted at Yan Sui: "I'll go back to the camp and take a look, General of the Wuna Qi Kingdom, don't leave if you have the ability, and when I come back, let's fight another three hundred rounds!" ”

Yan Sui Ha smiled and replied, "I don't have time to play with you today." is only merciful to his subordinates, but he hopes that his subordinates will evacuate the danger as soon as possible. Now that they're safe, it's time for me to go. ”

Shi Hong listened to Yan Sui's words, and only then did he wake up, and he began to wonder in his heart: "Am I falling into the trap of this Qi general?" He then recklessly asked, "You don't want to tell that excuse." I have to be called back by Mingjin today, or I will pick you off today. If you have the ability, report your name, and let's fight again another day! ”

Yan Sui replied: "The eldest husband will not change his name, Lei Lei will fall, I am from Qi State, Yan's name is Sui, I will wait to fight again another day, and I will fight with you." ”

Shi Hong glanced back at Yan Sui and raised the spear in his hand to show that he had agreed. Then he beat his horse and ran into his own ranks. Yan Sui also turned the horse's head, and with his lance, he lightly knocked the thief's buttocks, and the war horse started violently and rushed forward.

Fortunately, Yan Sui walked in time, and the thief under his crotch ran fast. Because just as he ran out of Lu and went twenty zhang away, and the Qin general Shi Hong had not yet returned to the battle, there were flying feather arrows in the Qin army's military formation, which shot at Yan Sui, who was running.

Because the distance was too far, most of the feather arrows fell behind Yan Sui, and only two or three feather arrows chased after him, Yan Sui felt that his back was touched by a hard object, and when he looked back, he found the dense feather arrows shot by the Qin army. Suddenly gasped, and his scalp was numb. At the same time, I am really glad that I evacuated in time.

That Shi Hong returned to the formation, but life was not easy. Sima mistakenly saw him retreating, and without waiting for Shi Hong to reach the middle of the formation, he waved his hand, allowing the pre-arranged archers to launch a large-scale shot at Yan Sui, regardless of whether Shi Hong would be hit by mistake. However, since Yan Sui had already run away, the Qin army's feather arrow attack was in vain.

Sima was so angry that he scolded Shi Hong: "You stupid talent, I ordered you to pursue Su Qin's joint column army at all costs, but you fought more than 300 rounds with a Qi general here, and the precious pursuit time was delayed by you." I'm glad I arrived just in time, or you'd have to fight again. ”

Shi Hong heard Sima Cuo's scolding, and he completely understood: "No wonder Qi General Yan Sui spoke like that just now, it turns out that he really dragged me and deliberately consumed the time of pursuit." ”

When Shi Hong thought of this, he was so angry that he wanted to give himself two slaps. He hurriedly apologized to Sima Wrong: "What General Sima said is extremely true, the last general really didn't know the truth just now, and he fell into the trap of that Qi general. I will lead the troops to pursue the Combined Column Army, and I will definitely capture Su Qin and other main leaders of the Combined Column Army alive. ”

Sima Cuo then scolded: "It's not too late to boast about Haikou now? Don't say anything, just follow me. I'm going to chase Su Qin personally! ”

As he spoke, he pointed forward the command flag in his hand and ordered: "All the soldiers obey the order, let's go into battle lightly, advance at full speed, and we must catch up with the Hezhong army." They were ambushed by our troops all the way and couldn't run far. ”

With Sima Cuo's order, the Qin army acted urgently. The cavalry galloped forward, and the infantry followed in great stride. Qin's army of more than 50,000 quickly pursued it.

Sima Coo had set up three ambush points on both sides of this thirty-mile-long mountain road, and he himself was in charge of the third ambush point, where the elite main forces of the Qin army were gathered. Unexpectedly, Su Qin's combined column army stopped before it reached the third ambush point.

Sima Cuo himself was waiting for Su Qin at the ambush point, and when he heard the news that the army led by Su Qin had stopped advancing, Sima Cuo immediately judged that Su Qin was probably aware of the ambush of the Qin army.

He was worried that Su Qin would lead the army to retreat quickly and that his bamboo basket would be empty, so in a hurry, he ordered an attack. He himself led the 60,000 main forces of the Qin army, which had been ambushed at the third ambush point, withdrew from concealment and pursued forward.

At the same time, he gave the order to the two ambush points in front of him, and at the same time launched an attack on the entire line of the combined column army that was trapped in the ambush circle. What Su Qin encountered was the Qin army at the ambush point in the middle section.

The Qin army here received an order temporarily, but the people had not yet fully entered the combat state, so they did not form a joint force. The Qin army's attack power was greatly reduced compared to usual.

But after all, they are on extremely favorable terrain, condescending, and they can kill a joint column sergeant by throwing a stone, let alone holding a strong bow and crossbow!

As a result, the middle troops of Su Qin and Zhou Shao also suffered heavy losses, and General Zhou Shao led his troops to climb up from the rocks that were easier to climb, and as soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Qin army. Zhou Shao held two swords in his hand, rushed all the way to kill, and according to Su Qin's order, he specifically looked for the crossbow arrow position of the Qin army to attack.

By the time he reached the top of the mountain, he had lost a third of his 1,000 soldiers. Zhou Shao danced his double swords, desperately rushed away from the bloody road, and rushed forward to kill, his body was soaked with splashed blood, and his face was also flowing with bloody sweat. Zhou Shao simply turned into a bloody beast at this time, he didn't avoid the sword, and he was slashed by the sword in many places, and he didn't care about it.

Zhou Shao rampaged forward, and vaguely saw more than a thousand crossbowmen of the Qin army, who were taking turns to release arrows on a slightly open high platform on the top of the mountain.

Zhou Shao was overjoyed in his heart, and read: "I finally caught you for me." He reached out and wiped the bloodstained sweat that flowed from his forehead, opened his eyes, and shouted, "I'm coming!" ”

Then he took the brunt of the Qin army's crossbow arrow position in great strides, and the remaining six or seven hundred assault sergeants behind him immediately followed him all the way forward.
