After receiving Wang Chong's order, Le Jin immediately returned to the formation, selected a thousand soldiers, and cautiously entered the valley.

Le Jin rode on his horse, walking at the front of the group, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes closely surveying the surroundings.

Behind Lejin, the sword and shield soldiers are arranged on both sides, ready to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the crossbowmen who are protected in the middle have also drawn their bows and loaded, and once they find the enemy, they will launch a counterattack as soon as possible.

The valley is very quiet, although no trace of the enemy has been found, but as a battle-hardened general, Le Jin's keen intuition tells him that it is very likely that Liu Bei's ambush is hidden here.

After walking for about half an hour, Le Jin pulled the reins and waved his hand to signal the army to stop advancing, and the corners of his mouth were also hooked with a faint sneer.

As he went deeper into the valley, Lejin found that the hay and leaves scattered on the road were becoming more and more dense, if it was in late autumn, such a scene would be normal, but now it is the height of summer, if it is not man-made, where can there be so many hay and dead leaves in this season?

"The whole army has entered a state of alert, and a team of sword and shield soldiers on the left and right will go deep into the dense forest to investigate the situation, and if any abnormality is found, immediately make a warning!"

With the delivery of the order, a thousand soldiers quickly acted in an orderly manner, and the two teams of sword and shield soldiers also began to climb the high slopes on both sides.

Le Jin's move is nothing more than to lure the snake out of the hole and force the other party to make a move in advance, because if there is really an ambush here, then the other party will definitely not allow them to enter the forest, otherwise once their whereabouts are exposed. The enemy's advantage will be lost.

Sou!

Suddenly, a sharp wolf's tooth arrow tore through the air and shot out of the forest with a terrifying sound. Straight to the fun.

"What a quick arrow!!" Le Jin's face changed suddenly, although he had already taken precautions in his heart, but the speed of this arrow was really fast and terrifying, even if Le Jin tried his best to dodge, he was still shot and injured in his left arm.

In the next second, I only heard a 'poof' sound. The huge power contained in the wolf's tooth arrow actually lifted Le Jinsheng off the war horse.

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

"Shoot !!"

And at this very moment. There was another shout in the forest, and then a dense rain of arrows poured down from the forest on both sides, forcing the climbing sword and shield soldiers to retreat.

The general is the courage of the soldiers. Although this Qianjin sail army is said to be elite. But Lejin's fall from the horse still caused them to be in a big mess, and their morale plummeted, so that for a while, many people were shot by sharp arrows and fell in a pool of blood screaming.

"Don't panic, calm me down! The sword and shield men formed a defensive formation, and the crossbowmen immediately returned fire. Hold the formation for me and slowly retreat!! Fortunately, Lejin endured the pain. stood up in time, and the hideous roaring figure instantly injected a shot in the arm into the corporaries.

Laugh at!

The cold light flashed, and a high-speed wolf's tooth arrow was shot down from above, but this time, it was Yue Jin who took a step ahead and narrowly avoided it, after all, people on the ground are much more flexible than on horses.

"Protect the General!!" At this time, Lejin's personal guards also reacted, and more than a dozen giant shields immediately protected Lejin Tuantuan, so that the shooter above couldn't find any chance, so he had to secretly say 'It's a pity' at the same time, and issued another order, "Set fire!" ”

As a result, dozens of torches were thrown from the sky, and the dry weather caused the dry grass and dead leaves on the ground to be ignited quickly, and the fire spread rapidly.

The choking smoke made people cough incessantly, and the pale-faced Le Jin glanced coldly at the dense forest above, and ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”

About five minutes later, Lejin led his army back to the entrance to the valley.

Wang Chong looked at the arrow in his left arm with some surprise, and he was very embarrassed: "Injured? ”

Le Jin knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Chong, and said in frustration: "The last general is ashamed, he has a bad entrustment, and he asks the lord to punish him!" ”

Wang Chong waved his hand and said, "Let's not be busy pleading guilty first, let's let the doctor deal with the wound first, and then talk about the ins and outs of the matter!" ”

Le Jin nodded, waved his hand to summon the doctor, and asked him to take arrows and bandage himself, while stating to Wang Chong what had happened.

After listening to Le Jin's narration, Wang Chong's brows furrowed deeply: "Are you saying that the archer can still aim you accurately from a hundred and fifty paces away, and even the speed of the arrow has not slowed down at all?" ”

Le Jin said: "It's true, especially the second arrow, the last general was still almost hit by it even though he knew his location in advance!" ”

"Hiss-" Wang Chong gasped and looked at Tai Shi Cidao, "Ziyi, what do you think?" ”

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This person's archery skills, I'm afraid it's not under the last general!" ”

Tai Shi Ci is a sharpshooter in the Jinfan Army, and in terms of archery, even Gan Ning and Wang Chong are not opponents, and hearing Tai Shi Ci say this, a name immediately appeared in Wang Chong's mind: Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong!

"Under Liu Bei, he is really a fierce general!" For Liu Bei, Wang Chong has never taken it seriously, and the only thing that makes him jealous is none other than Guan Zhang Zhao, the three peerless tiger generals.

Tai Shi Ci said proudly: "If there is a chance, the last general would very much like to hope to fight with this person!" ”

"There's going to be a chance." Wang Chong paused as he spoke, then turned his head and asked Jia Xudao, "Wenhe, Liu Bei is obviously in this valley, there is obviously an ambush, are you still holding on to your previous guess?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, pointed to the front and said, "My lord, look at these soldiers, have you seen any clues?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Chong looked along Jia Xu's point, and saw that some of the soldiers who had fled back were wounded by arrows, and some were gray-headed and dirty with smoke, but no matter how he looked at it, Wang Chong did not notice anything special about these people.

Facing Wang Chong's puzzled gaze, Jia Xu added: "What Xu means is that the lord might as well see how many people they have left!" ”

"Huh?" was reminded by Jia Xu like this, Wang Chong quickly realized that something was wrong, there were at least seven or eight hundred people in the black crowd, right?

Jia Xuyun said lightly: "A rain of arrows, a fire, and so many people can survive, maybe this has something to do with Wen Qian's proper command, but at least it can be shown that the soldiers and horses ambushed by the other party this time are definitely not much!" ”

At this time, Le Jin also interjected: "Hearing Mr. Wenhe say this, the last general remembered, the coverage of this arrow rain was not large at that time, and it was not dense, according to the judgment of the last general, the number of crossbowmen on the other side was only three or four hundred at most!" ”

Jia Xu followed Le Jin's words and said: "There is also this fire set by the enemy, no matter how you look at it, you feel that the other party just wants us to retreat and force us to go the other way!" ”

Wang Chong was silent for a moment, and then decided: "In this case, when this fire has subsided, we will immediately set out to cross the valley, preferably through Rushui before it gets dark!" (To be continued.) )
