Chapter 366: Ambush 2

Not long after the cavalry battalion moved, the infantry in the rear also received a warning from Zhao Xun and were ready for battle. The phalanx was quickly stacked, with the giant shield soldiers in front, the sword and shield soldiers behind, and then the crossbowmen and archers. Because the distance was still far away, Xue Lei and Bao Muyang asked their subordinates to rest in place for the time being, and sent scouts to investigate the situation of the Yan army.

The army of 30,000 Yan Yan troops also marched towards Liao Tunnel City, stretching for several miles. However, the generals who led the army were a little lazy, and they didn't know that their nature was like this, so they were still assured of the safety of the rear, and there were not many scouts between the marches, and they did not form a certain defensive echelon.

If it weren't for the large number of people on the other side, Zhao Xun would have wanted to give an order directly and let his subordinates cover up the past. However, thinking of the infantry waiting in the rear, Zhao Xun still watched the army of the Yan army pass in front of him.

This time, it was A Qiqi, the son of Ajili, the commander of Su Mo Yan in Andong Mansion, who led the army to support Liao Tunnel City, which is the so-called second generation of officials. Ajili is the head coach of a house, but his son Ah Qiqi is much worse, perhaps because of the environmental influence, which makes him arrogant.

However, no matter what you say, your son is your own son, and if you have the opportunity, of course, you must support your son to make meritorious contributions. Although this rescue is mainly based on Ah Qiqi, Ah Jili still arranged two lieutenants, who are also veterans by his side.

The idea is good, but the reality is not like that at all. How could Ah Qiqi be willing to keep the two old words buzzing in his ears, and as a result, the two were directly thrown aside by Ah Qiqi.

"Gai Yuan, that old thing needs me to come to the rescue too? Haha, this time I want to humiliate him. Ah Qiqi laughed. Gai Yuan is also a veteran under Ajili, otherwise he would not have been sent to Liao Tunnel City. But Gai Yuan repeatedly said in front of Ah Jili that Ah Qiqi was acting unruly, which made Ah Qiqi extremely annoyed.

"Report ...... General, five miles ahead, I found the army of Xiaoguo! An urgent report interrupted Ah Qiqi's reverie.

"What? An army of Xiaoguo? Isn't the army of Xiaoguo outside the Liao Tunnel City? How did it appear nearly a hundred miles away? Ah Qi was stunned, he didn't expect the Xiaoguo Army to appear in the middle of his march.

"How many people? What are they doing? A forty-year-old man beside Ah Qiqi asked.

"There are about 50,000 or so, and the infantry army is setting up a position in front of it, intercepting it in the middle of the road."

"Herald! The whole army is speeding up, but I want to see what the difference between the Xiaoguo army is, and it is said that it is powerful. Ah Qiqi said loudly.

The veteran shook his head helplessly and said to the scout: "Intensify the patrol and detect the surrounding situation!" ”

The two armies were a kilometer apart, opposite each other. Steward Su has nearly 50,000 infantry troops, and the Yan army is 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry troops.

"Two generals, I'm going to let the cavalry attack its two flanks, and the Chinese army will move forward, what do you think?" Although Ah Qiqi is arrogant, he also knows that he is here to gild this time, and although the two veterans around him are unpleasant, they are genuine. Anyway, if you win, the merit is also your own, and it is more secure to ask yourself. Besides, when he was leaving, his father also explained, if there was a war, ask the two more.

"It is feasible, although the opponent's phalanx looks the same on the left and right, the clothes and armor of the soldiers behind it are completely different from the front, which shows that only some of the 50,000 people are Xiaoguo soldiers, and some of them should be the so-called people."

"The cavalry on the left and right flanks, rush away from the opponent's phalanx, and then strangle in the middle."

"The generals of the infantry army listened to the order and advanced with me head-on, striving to form a three-sided joint attack with the left and right cavalry. Defeat the Xiaoguo army, all today. ”

"Obey!"

The two veterans had no objection to Ah Qiqi's order, and the other generals did not dare to disagree. After the herald gave the military order, the entire army formation began to move. The cavalry on both sides of the army began to advance slowly.

"Brother Xue, the Yan Army is here, let these bastards see, the land of my Yan Country is not so easy to occupy." Bao Muyang was not afraid of the army on the opposite side at all, and said to Xue Lei beside him with a smile.

Xue Lei's face was complicated, in the past, when Su Mo Yan captured the land of the East Sanfu of Youzhou, Long Xiangwei was stationed in Youzhou, but he watched the land of Sanfu fall and failed to recapture it. Years of regret and wishes are about to come true today.

"Give them a taste of the power of my crossbowman phalanx!" As he spoke, he stared at the speeding army on the opposite side.

"Boom, boom, boom ......" The cavalry on both wings of the Turquoise Army was the fastest and began to approach the Xiaoguo Army, and at the same time, the cavalry of the Turbulent Army began to exert its might. However, with a giant shield to block it, coupled with the cold weather and thick armor, the lethality of the arrows is not as great as imagined.

"Knock knock!"

The drummers on both sides were beating the war drums vigorously, urging their soldiers to hurry into battle. The sound of the drums shook the four fields, as if the floating clouds in the sky were also shaken away by the sound of the drums.

The weeds that were undulating in the cold wind seemed to feel the vibration of the drums, and even though the cold wind had stopped, their delicate bodies were still trembling with the drums, until the dense footsteps trampled them under their feet.

"Five hundred steps!"

"Four hundred steps!"

The observation post constantly reports the distance of the enemy's approach!

"Three hundred steps!"

Xue Lei's face turned cold, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Crossbowman, shoot!" ”

The herald standing behind Xue Lei waved the small red flag violently.

The crossbowmen commander saw the red flag waving and shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Six thousand crossbowmen released their crossbow arrows at the same time, and suddenly a piercing sound sounded, and the sky darkened.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! ”

Compared to the archer's arrows, the crossbow misses are more lethal. At that moment, the cavalry with fast horses and horses fell down in large numbers, and the horses screamed and wailed incessantly. The horses in front fell, and the horses behind them tripped over the ones in front, and they fell one after another. In the case of this fast horse, if you fall off the horse, even if you are not killed, you will be trampled to death by the cavalry behind.

"Damn! The Xiaoguo army has a large number of crossbows in their hands! The two veterans turned cold and said coldly. And Ah Qiqi's face on the side turned even pale. This crossbow arrow, like a black cloud pressing on the top, really hit him too hard. This is not an arrow shot by an archer.

"Forward, accelerate!" The two veterans shouted.

"Launch!"

"Boom Boom ......" another black cloud drifted by.

"Archer prepare!" The cavalry of the Warriors fell by a small half, and finally approached. The crossbowmen only fired four rounds of arrows, and could not continue their attacks on both flanks. Therefore, he was transferred to the rear of the Chinese army, preparing to suppress the opposing Chinese army again.

Crossbowmen are not good, archers have no close range restrictions, with the command of the generals of each array, all the archers opened their bows and arrows, and the sound of pulling the bowstring came, only to hear dozens of majestic voices shouting: "Release!" ”

A whistling sound came, and the two 10,000 archers phalanx composed of some people and archers fired arrows together, and the sound of breaking the air was heard, and tens of thousands of arrow feathers rushed straight towards the opponent's cavalry from both sides.

Everyone saw that the tens of thousands of arrows formed an invisible dark cloud in the air, and even the sun above was blocked in an instant, and the entire sky suddenly darkened.

"No ......"

"Woo Woo ......"

The cavalry, which had dodged the crossbow arrows, was again attacked by arrows. People have armor and can dodge, but the war horses don't, the war horses neighed and fell to the ground, how could the cavalry dodge?

At the same time as the army in front of him was fighting, Zhao Xun also blew the horn of gathering troops, and more than 10,000 cavalry rushed directly to the rear of the Yan army from both sides, and finally formed three huge arrows, shooting towards the Yan army formation.

In the arrow in the center, Zhao Xun took the lead, his silver armor was so dazzling, and at the end of his sight, the military array was there. Although he couldn't see the actual situation, the scout had already told himself the details of the situation there.

"Will ...... Will...... Checkmate! We...... Behind us were cavalry to kill...... Kill! Just when Ah Qiqi watched the cavalry on both wings of his flanks continue to fall to the ground, and the Chinese army continued to be killed by the opponent's crossbow arrows, the scout came with an incredible news.

"Cavalry? What cavalry? Ah Qi was stunned that he didn't understand.

"Cavalry, what kind of banner is it, how far is it?" The veteran Gao Xiang asked urgently, and the nervousness in his words was unmistakable. The other veteran also turned pale and trembled.

"Two generals, the cavalry led by the Lord has come from the rear of the enemy, are we advancing forward and oppressing the Yan Army!"

Xue Lei and Bao Muyang glanced at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes. At the cost of more than 2,000 casualties, he overthrew more than 7,000 cavalry, and pressed them in front of the two wings, neither advancing nor retreating, and could only use bows and arrows to shoot at himself. Speaking of which, the archery skills of the Yan Ya army are very powerful, and most of the casualties of the two thousand people were injured by the opponent's arrows.

"Crush it! Surround them, we must leave them all behind, preferably with their commander, and perhaps borrow them to break through the enemy city, as we did a few days ago. Bao Muyang said excitedly.

"Pass the order, and the whole army advances! Don't mess up the formation! "The reason why we have to maintain the formation is mainly to prevent the people in the back from messing up and disrupting the big formation.
