Chapter 231: No Attack
(Ask for a collection of red tickets)
Li Mao and Old Man Li ran hand in hand in the direction of the cliff, and shouted hoarsely as they ran: "The heroes of Yanyun Village, we want to avenge our grandfather!" ”
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and it was as if time was frozen with the smiles of the two of them.
Seeing that the two of them were about to reach the edge of the cliff, Liu Shibao, who reacted, thought that the two villagers were going to run, but he didn't know that it was a cliff, so he immediately chased after it, and more than a dozen personal soldiers followed behind. Because he planned to attack Yanyun Village at night, the soldiers on the right guard did not dare to light the torches, and it was dark in the forest, and it was difficult to discern the direction.
Old man Li and Li Mao were just about to jump down, when they suddenly jumped out of the grass, one left and one right, and two people grabbed the two of them by the waist and pressed them to the ground, and before the two of them could react, they were pulled into the grass by their legs, and immediately, their mouths were covered.
Liu Shibao led people to chase after him, and Liu Shibao, who was rushing to the front, vaguely saw that the figure in front of him could not be found for a while, he immediately slowed down and leaned over cautiously, but where did he think that there would be a cliff in front of him? Holding a knife to search forward, suddenly there was an empty foot, and he quickly wanted to retreat but where did he react, and he leaned forward and fell off the cliff, and after a miserable cry came out from under the cliff, there was no sound, and he was pitiful that he was so simple that he fell to death under the cliff.
The soldiers who followed behind saw that the general shook in front and disappeared, followed by a loud shout. Listening to the voice, it was fading away from top to bottom, and the relatives and soldiers had already realized that something was wrong, and the people behind them hurriedly stopped. Someone carefully pasted it up and walked to the edge of the cliff to look down, where could he still see Liu Shibao's shadow. If it were during the day, you might still be able to see the flattened corpse under the cliff, and at this time it was so dark that you couldn't even see anything a few meters away, let alone a dead person dozens of meters away?
Liu Shibao's personal soldiers turned pale with fright, and stood there stupidly at a loss. After a while, someone reacted and hurriedly ran back to tell Feng Xiaoci, but he only ran back a few steps, and suddenly stumbled and fell into the grass, this time the fall was extremely heavy, the soldier snorted, only to feel that the chest and abdomen and internal organs seemed to be thrown out of position. Just about to stand up, I suddenly felt a chill on my neck, and subconsciously reached out and touched it, which was indeed slippery. It was only then that he reacted, he had been stabbed in the neck, and the pain did not come until it was dark before his eyes, and death followed with the pain.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound all around, and then countless black shadows stood up from the grass, and with a shout, dense feathered arrows shot towards the team of the right guards. In the darkness, I don't know how many people were hiding in the dense grass, but I heard the sound of a buzzing bowstring, and soon there was a mourning in the ranks of the right guards.
In the dark night, there is no way to aim, and in fact, the people and horses in ambush don't need to aim at all, they just need to send the feather arrows out, and the soldiers of the right waiting guard team who are advancing like a long dragon dozens of meters away are too dense, and the feather arrows come in an instant, and immediately tear off the flesh and blood of this long dragon.
A soldier was shot in the eye socket by a feather arrow without reacting, and his body shook violently but did not fall, because he was suddenly pierced through the eye socket and only felt a buzz in his head, and he could subconsciously raise his hand to touch his eyes. But his hand was raised and hung down limply, and he lost consciousness in his mind, and his body fell forward, and the feather arrow hit the ground and drilled into his brain, and pierced the back of his head with a pop.
He died on the spot before he could even scream, and his eyeballs, red blood and white thickness, shattered by the feathered arrows, slowly squeezed out of his eye sockets.
"Enemy attack!"
Someone shouted loudly, but it was hit by countless feathered arrows. This enemy attack shouted, and before this person drew out his horizontal knife, he was shot by more than a dozen feather arrows, he shook a few times and fell softly, his body hit the ground, so the feather arrows in front of him pierced out from his back.
The blow came so abruptly, so abruptly that even Feng Xiaoci didn't react at the first time.
Fortunately, his general's armor was thick enough, and two feather arrows hit his body but were stopped by the iron armor and failed to pierce in, and the chain mail on his body was the best protective gear to defend against feather arrows, and one by one the small iron rings successfully blocked the feather arrows from the outside of his body. But even so, Feng Xiaoci was hit by these two arrows and almost fell off his horse. After 20 years on the battlefield, this is the first time Feng Xiaoci feels that he has made a big mistake.
He didn't know that history had changed, if it wasn't for Li Xian's Yanyunzhai people who killed Zhang Jincheng early, then two years later he was killed in Zhang Jincheng's ambush because of the light enemy. But he knew that he had underestimated the enemy this time, and the clever plan he suddenly came up with did not escape the eyes of those thieves in Yanyunzhai.
This is the territory of thieves! How many eyeliners they have, how can they hide it from others?
Feng Xiaoci, who was hit by two arrows, did not pause in his thinking, but thought of the key for the first time.
"Formation, shield!"
Feng Xiaoci shouted loudly, but all he heard in his ears was the wailing of his soldiers after being hit by arrows.
……
……
In fact, Feng Xiaoci was too proud, and when he thought he had paid enough attention to his opponents, he actually looked down on those thieves. Although he knew that the men and horses of Yanyunzhai were once the soldiers of the Great Sui, he never thought that he would be defeated in the deepest part of his heart.
As countless feathered arrows flew from the darkness, he still didn't think his soldiers would be defeated.
And Feng Xiaoci's reaction is also worthy of the eight words of not being shocked in the face of danger, he shouted loudly for the soldiers to raise their shields to defend, and at the same time ordered the archers to return fire, although he couldn't see where the enemy was, but as long as he suppressed the enemy with a feather arrow counterattack, and did not let those anti-thieves rush over, he would not be defeated. The well-trained soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion also showed amazing quality at this moment, and after the sudden attack, they quickly began to counterattack after the initial panic.
Because the team was too narrow and long, under the command of Feng Xiaoci, the men and horses began to quickly gather in formation, and then slowly retreated while returning fire with feather arrows towards the dense forest, the forest was too dark, so black that the people on both sides did not choose melee hand-to-hand combat but attacked with feather arrows. Most of the feathered arrows were blocked by the trees, but there were still people who fell to the ground.
Li Xian held a compound hard bow specially made for him by Ye Huaisleeve in his hand, standing quietly behind a big tree, and from time to time feathered arrows flew and hit the trunk of the tree with a snapping sound. He didn't make a move, but listened intently. When Feng Xiaoci's loud order was finally captured by him, the corners of Li Xian's mouth hooked up with a smile.
"Due East, Torch!"
Li Xian shouted loudly.
On the trees, the soldiers of Yanyunzhai in the grass immediately lit torches and threw them in the direction of Li Xian's shouting, and for a while, at least more than 200 torches were thrown into the team of the right guards. The torches of the Yanyunzhai soldiers hiding in the trees were thrown very far, and many of them hit the bodies of the right guards. The sparks splashed in all directions, reflecting panicked faces.
Hundreds of torches were thrown over, and the place where Feng Xiaoci was suddenly brightened.
"General be careful!"
Cui Zhi rushed forward in front of Feng Xiaoci, and before he could pull Feng Xiaoci off the horse, an armor-piercing cone came quickly with the sound of the wind breaking through the air, and the feather arrow accurately found Feng Xiaoci and hit Feng Xiaoci's left leg. The chain armor can only protect the upper body, and the exposed legs are the target of Li Xian's attack. And from the beginning, Li Xian had no intention of killing Feng Xiaoci.
Feng Xiaoci screamed, and the powerful arrow actually pierced his thigh, and the cluster of arrows drilled out of his thigh and pierced into the saddle, nailing his thigh there. Cui Zhi stepped forward and tore Feng Xiaoci off the horse, touching the feather arrow, which made Feng Xiaoci immediately sweat.
"Retreat in formation, it's too dark, don't let the thieves get close!"
He commanded hurriedly.
Cui Zhi nodded, let a personal soldier carry Feng Xiaoci on his back, he personally held a shield on one side to guard the retreat, just when the soldier just carried Feng Xiaoci on his back, the second armor-piercing cone came out of the deep dark woods, and shot accurately at one of Feng Xiaoci's arms, this arrow was like the arrow on his thigh, and his arm was also shot through. Feng Xiaoci screamed in pain, and his mind was blurred for a short time.
"Don't come close, kill the enemy with only bows and arrows!"
Li Xian ordered in a low voice, and then dodged behind the big tree again.
The soldiers used the sound of the horn to transmit the order, and after the horn sounded, the feather arrows shot by the people and horses of Yanyunzhai were a little more dense. The soldiers of the right guard retreated as they fought, constantly firing back with their bows and arrows, but no one knew whether their feathered arrows had killed the enemy, and they were on the road and the enemy was in the woods, and they were at a disadvantage. And the enemy just kept shouting, but no one came closer. But the more this happens, the greater the pressure on the right guard.
They are retreating, and the enemy is chasing.
The pursuing enemy refused to come closer, but kept shooting with bows and arrows and crossbows in a despicable manner.
Just like that, he retreated all the way down the mountain, leaving behind the corpses along the way.
Seeing that he had withdrawn to the open space at the bottom of the mountain, Feng Xiaoci commanded the soldiers to form a phalanx with spirit. He could no longer put his back in front of the enemy's bow and arrow, and the death and injury of the soldiers before he could directly deal with it was already difficult for Feng Xiaoci to accept. He guessed that the thieves didn't dare to approach, but he didn't expect the thieves to stick so tightly. This kind of quality made Feng Xiaoci suddenly realize that his opponent was also experienced in a hundred battles.
It can't be withdrawn anymore, even if the soldiers on the right guard are well-trained in such a dark night, they will inevitably collapse under this pressure!
"Formation, don't retreat!"
Feng Xiaoci's voice became hoarse, full of bitterness.
Under the command of Cui Zhi, the soldiers of the right guard gathered together in a panic, because when they retreated in the darkness before, the middle and low-level officers who shouted to maintain the formation became the target of the thieves' feather arrows, so when they retreated from the mountain, the brigade rate, the middle and low-level officers such as the captain suffered heavy casualties.
Li Xian chased the retreating soldiers of the right guard all the way, and when he saw the soldiers of the right guard starting to form a formation in the open space under the mountain, he couldn't help but praise it, even so, the soldiers of the right guard still did not disperse, which shows that Feng Xiaoci's army is indeed very unusual. If it had been an ordinary army, it would have collapsed long ago if it was suddenly attacked in the dark.
"General, the soldiers of the right guard are in formation, can they attack or not?"
Xiong Kuohai, who was dressed in heavy armor, approached Li Xian's side and asked eagerly.
"Male, the rooster is about to crow."
Li Xian stretched his waist and smiled: "If you really have itchy hands, let your thick soil camp flick your arms and throw out all the throwing guns." You can vote for a few yourself, but if you stab Feng Xiaoci to death, I'll be done with you. ”
"After throwing in the army, leave a thousand people to change the shouts of the squad and release arrows, and the others go back to sleep!"
He flicked his arm, and he only fired two arrows from the beginning to the end, but he looked very tired.
"Sleep? This battle is too unpleasant! ”
The majestic sea muttered.
"Then you can go and charge for a while, of course, not a single soldier is allowed."
Li Xian walked back with his hands behind his back, and while walking, he looked free and leisurely and chanted: "When autumn comes, September 8, I will kill ...... flowers after they bloom."
