"All the soldiers listened to the order, the rear team changed to the front team, retreated to the south gate, withdraw!"

Before the words fell, Li Li's legs clamped the flank of the Golden Lion Beast King, and the Golden Lion Beast immediately turned sideways, carrying Li Li and Guo Jia at a gallop.

The Golden Lion Beastmaster was extremely spiritual, and instead of running in a straight line, he scurried in a roundabout way, so that the condescending crossbowman could no longer lock on to Li Li's position, and thus lost his shooting target.

When Li Li first withdrew from the alley, the crossbows on the attics on both sides of the alley lost their value. This is because the crossbow is fixed to the attic lattice window, which cannot be moved, and it is impossible to carry it around, which is far less convenient than an ordinary bow and arrow.

In addition, the crossbow sniper is only a highly targeted and accurate kill. There is only one target for his primary shooting, and it is Xiliang Li Li.

At the same time, the ambush in the city had just begun.

It's just that the people who set up the ambush never expected that Li Li would be so alert, and before he arrived at the palace, he found an ambush in the city, and quickly turned around and retreated.

However, after entering Yecheng, it is not so easy to get out again.

"Click--whoosh!"

With Li Li's order, the generals of the battalions who followed him returned to the headquarters as soon as possible, and then commanded the cavalry of the headquarters to quickly turn around and retreat, and the rear team changed into the front team and rushed to the south gate.

After a moment of astonishment, tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Riders took off the bows and crossbows on their backs without anyone's orders, put their bows and crossbows on their backs, and fired arrows at the doors, windows and alleys on both sides of the street. Although they did not see the enemy, this did not prevent them from judging the danger.

In the face of danger. Shoot with a bow. At this moment, Xiliang Iron Rider showed his amazing adaptability, trying to stifle the potential danger on the retreat road, and strike first. It's really well trained. It deserves to be the number one team in the world.

Sure enough, at the same time as the Xiliang army fired arrows in unison, a dense rain of stray arrows and arrows appeared over Nanmen Street. Immediately, in front of and behind the houses, on the doors, windows and roofs of the houses on both sides, a dense crowd of Yuan soldiers suddenly appeared, and they were all archers.

In an instant, the Xiliang army, which hurriedly turned around and retreated, rode and shot. The arrows were fired indiscriminately, and the soldiers of the Yuan army and the Cao army, who had already been lurking on both sides, also fired ten thousand arrows, and their target was not a certain Xiliang cavalry. It's the whole street in the middle of the house.

Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows like a dark cloud completely enveloped the narrow South Gate Street, and hundreds of thousands of arrows met in volley, colliding suddenly in the air. It's like two beasts of prey meeting each other. A violent collision ensued. Sharp arrows broke in the air, and the broken arrow clusters and shafts rained down like flying flotsam, mixed with sparks as bright as stars, and a loud popping sound.

At the same time as the arrow rain collided, the stray arrows that avoided the center of the arrow rain flew towards the soldiers of the two armies. Suddenly, thousands of soldiers on and off the house were shot and killed by stray arrows. But seeing that the soldiers of the Yuan army who were shot by stray arrows screamed and fell down, and the Xiliang cavalry on the street fell from their horses with arrows, and then these corpses that rolled down the road were trampled into flesh by the galloping Xiliang war horses. Completely immersed in the bluestone rubble, it blends in with the street.

Under such a dense rain of stray arrows. The Xiliang army suffered unprecedented heavy losses, and the casualties were far above the soldiers of the Yuan army and the Cao army who were hiding in the shadows. This was because the Xiliang army was blocked on a narrow street, surrounded by enemy troops, who were blocked in front and behind, so that tens of thousands of war horses were crowded together. Therefore, when the rain of arrows fell, even if they saw the sharp arrows coming towards them, they could not dodge, and could only use the bows and crossbows in their hands to shoot down the arrows, and if they reacted a little slowly, they would die immediately.

There is no way to hide, nowhere to hide, no shelter. Only by facing this qiē with flesh and blood, and only by charging bravely and grabbing living space, can there be a glimmer of life.

However, this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Xiliang Army, which is equivalent to extravagant hopes. The ambush plan that the ambush set up was painstakingly planned, how could he watch the Xiliang army enter the city and then turn around and leave the city?

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the loud rumbling sound, but seeing that all the houses on both sides of the street were closed and closed by the huge force, a team of armor soldiers carrying huge shields and spears appeared on both sides of the street. Immediately afterward, the deafening sound of war drums roared into the sky. Then, a crossbow appeared behind the Giant Shieldman, followed by thousands of two-horse chariots.

In the blink of an eye, all the houses on both sides of the main street of the South Gate were opened, and more than half of the houses collapsed, forming a huge trench. As far as the eye can see, the trenches on the east and west sides are full of Yuan and Cao soldiers, from front to back: giant shield array, pikemen, archers, crossbow array, chariot array, and cavalry battle array. There were no less than 30,000 soldiers in each battle formation, and the army on both sides of the trench added up to no less than 150,000 troops.

The 80,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Li Li was in the trenches, in the trenches, and was in an absolutely disadvantaged position. Not only that, but the road to the south gate was also blocked by collapsed houses, so that tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry were besieged by the enemy legions that suddenly appeared, and they were in a desperate situation.

When the houses on both sides of Nanmen Street were crushed and flattened by the army, the rain of arrows above the heads of the Xiliang army came to an abrupt end. Instead, huge and cumbersome crossbows were pushed onto the filled ruins, condescendingly, suppressing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the huge trench and not daring to act rashly, let alone rush to charge.

At the same time, the Cao archers on the trenches were also useless, and the trenches hundreds of paces wide were beyond the range of bows and arrows. As long as the Xiliang army did not charge, the archers were helpless, and what really posed a threat to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at this moment was the giant crossbow.

It is worth mentioning that in the just-concluded duel of random arrows, the soldiers of the Cao army who ambushed the side suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the casualties of the ambushed Xiliang iron cavalry became more and more heavy, and more than 20,000 cavalry died under the random arrows one after another. It is no exaggeration to say that in this short arrow duel, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was once the world's champion, was slaughtered for the first time. In just a quarter of an hour, more than 20,000 elite cavalry were lost, which was the first major defeat suffered by Li Li since he commanded the Xiliang army, and it was also a unique fiasco.

Fortunately, when the houses on both sides of the street collapsed, the soldiers of the Cao army had to give up space in order to avoid short-range contact with the Xiliang army, took the initiative to retreat, retreated to the high ground, and besieged the Xiliang army in the trench again.

At this point, this sudden ambush battle suddenly stopped, and the battle situation was temporarily deadlocked.

??????“ Wow! ”

On the central position surrounded by war horses, Li Li took off his dark red robe and spread it on the ground, and Li Zhi followed closely behind and gently placed Guo Jia, who had fallen into a coma, on the battle robe. Immediately, Li Li clenched the crossbow arrow that pierced Guo Jia's left arm and pulled it out as fast as lightning. Suddenly, Guo Jia, who was already unconscious, screamed in pain, and immediately opened his eyes: but saw that Li Zhi was holding his left arm, while Li Li untied the leather bag on the back of the golden beast, took out the wine gourd from it, and poured the wine on the wound on his left arm.

Suddenly, Guo Jia trembled in pain, but this time he didn't scream in pain, but gritted his teeth and held on. He had seen this kind of scene many times before, and many of the wounded soldiers could not bear the severe pain of the liquor pouring on the wounds, and some of the wounded soldiers even screamed in pain. At that time, Guo Jia was still a little unimpressed, thinking that the wounded soldiers were too fragile, and it was just good wine, so it wouldn't react so strongly, right? It was only at this moment that Guo Jia truly realized the pain of the wine poured on the wound, it was really painful, and his heart was like a knife.

At the same time that Li Li poured the wine on the wound on Guo Jia's left arm, Li Zhi on the side casually rummaged through the leather bag and shook out all the things inside, and finally found only a white gauze scarf, on which the pattern was a peony flower embroidered by the foot trainer himself. Li Zhi was very embarrassed at the moment, because this was the sweat towel that he asked the foot trainer to hand over to Li Li when he sent someone to escort Xiao Qiao, Lu Lingqi and other female dependents back to Chang'an not long ago. Li Li didn't even look at it, reached out to take the scarf, and directly used it to bandage Guo Jia's wound.

"Bong Hyo, bear with it." Seeing that Guo Jia had woken up, Li Li reminded him in a low voice, and suddenly exerted force on his hand, tightening the scarf, and Guo Jia screamed in pain again.

"Whew--okay." After bandaging the wound, Li Li let out a long sigh, and his tense mind relaxed slightly. Immediately, he sat down next to Guo Jia, picked up the crossbow arrow made of pure iron, and saw that the arrow was black and smelly. Suddenly, Li Li's pupils shrank suddenly, his gaze was extremely cold, his face was extremely solemn, and a deep worry appeared between his eyebrows.

"The arrow is poisonous, smells fishy, and it should be snake venom. It seems that the Cao thief wants to kill me this time, and he is eager to get rid of it quickly, and the crossbow arrow is actually smeared with poison, which is really vicious! If it weren't for the filial piety to save me, I am afraid that I, Li Li, will be in a catastrophe this time, and I will definitely die here. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li reached out to hold Guo Jia up and let him lean on his lap, which would be slightly more comfortable. Looking at Guo Jia, whose face was pale, and his dark purple lips that had been bitten by teeth, Li Li's slightly relaxed mind rose to his throat again, and then turned his head to look at the enemy troops on both sides who had an absolute advantage, frowning and thinking about countermeasures.

After thinking for a while, Li Li instructed Li Zhi: "Looking at this situation, in order to lure my Li Li's army into the city, we have worked hard, and today we are destined to be difficult to retreat with our whole body, and even ?????? Everything points to disaster. At present, Bonghyo is extremely seriously injured, has lost too much blood, and the crossbow bolt is poisonous, so he can't delay any longer, and needs urgent treatment. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to save his left arm, but he would also be in danger of his life. Yes, I will lead the army to kill later, and Zicheng will take Fengxiao to take the opportunity to break through and go out of the city as much as possible. ”

"This 、、、" Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and said urgently: "This place is not far from the south gate, and there is an army led by General Dian Wei outside the gate to respond, we don't need to break through separately, the whole army rushes up, and it may not be impossible to kill!" ”

Li Li shook his head and said, "Zicheng is too simple. Cao thief is so deliberately trying to get me into the urn, how can he not send troops to attack the tiger camp stationed at the south gate? In other words, after not seeing Dian Wei send troops to rescue for so long, the south gate must have been trapped by Cao's army inside and outside, and he was too busy to take care of himself. Therefore, Zicheng can no longer go out of the city through the south gate, you take Fengxiao out of the city from the east gate, and Zhou Yu's army is outside the city??????"
