Falling Eagle Mountain.

Huan Youji walked forward on the soft soil, the campfire in the forest had not been extinguished, and the remains of the elk next to the fire looked a little fragmented.

Huan Youji patrolled the battlefield, where there had been brief encounters. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the combat effectiveness of the Shu army was somewhat beyond his imagination.

The corpses of more than a dozen Liang soldiers were scattered on the soil, and time was short, and the vanguard of the Liang army did not collect the bodies of these more than ten colleagues.

What were the Shu army like when they retreated, and what are they like now?

The traces on the battlefield have been destroyed, and the messy footprints are full of them, making it impossible for Huan Youji to guess the scene of the battle. It's just that, looking at the feather arrows on these corpses, almost all of them are killed with one arrow.

"General, when we arrived, the general of the Shu army and a few of his soldiers had already retreated into the camp. We tried to close the fence, but the brothers who went there were shot and killed by the other side, and none of them survived. ”

"In other words, so many of us didn't kill a single Shu soldier?"

Huan Youji said a fact that gloomy all the soldiers. The vanguard of the Liang army numbered in the hundreds, but they did not stop the old man and a few of his soldiers.

The Liang army was surrounded, but these Shu soldiers came and went at will, and they even paid more than a dozen lives for this.

Huan Youji's face became very serious, and a bad premonition formed in his heart.

Perhaps the combat effectiveness of this Shu army is not as unbearable as he originally imagined. On the contrary, this is a fairly elite infantry.

Thinking of this, an even more terrible thought came one after another. Since this army is quite elite, and Yang Xian stationed it on Luoying Mountain at Shiyang Daokou, is he already prepared?

As soon as he thought of this, Huan Youji asked the school beside him.

"Aren't there any reinforcements from the Shu army around here?"

The school inspector bowed his hand and said, "Our brothers have already investigated the vicinity of Luoying Mountain, and the farthest has been detected as far as the north bank of Yongshui, which is a hundred miles away. There are no other Shu troops in this vicinity, not even a human figure. ”

Huan Youji's face was not only a little lighter, but more solemn.

Is it a coincidence that Yang Xian stationed this army here? Or, Yang Xian thinks that with the combat power of this Shu army, it is enough to deal with any unexpected situation.

If it is the former, then Huan Youji's mood can be a little easier. But if it's the latter, Huan Youji is really a little worried.

The scorching sun shone in the forest and imprinted on Huan Youji's face. He shook his head, dispelling the distractions in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

At this time, how can you hesitate?

Huan Youji recruited his lieutenants and ordered them to go down.

"The order goes down, and our army rests on the spot and eats a full meal." He looked up at the sun, "Before three o'clock, attack the Shu army camp." ”

Huan Youji gave an order, and the 20,000 soldiers who were hiding around the Shu army camp on Luoying Mountain sat down. There was a water source nearby, so they found some branches and started a fire to boil the water. They all carried a small iron pot with them, and when they saw that the water in the pot was boiling, they added some marinade sauce and salt, and began to eat the special coarse cakes and pickles.

A few soldiers also carried some cured jerky with them, and when they put them in the pot, they turned into a bowl of astringent salted broth. The 20,000 Liang troops shuttled through Shiyang Road for several days, and the grain and grass they brought with them were actually not much.

In the course of a day or two, they will run out of food and grass. So this battle is very important for them. If they do not win, they will retreat in the direction of the camp of the Seven Rivers.

However, along the way, there is a lack of medicine and food, and the Shu army will definitely chase and kill them in the back, and it is difficult to say how many of their 20,000 people can survive.

Shu army Dazhai.

Tong Gu held the whole venison leg in his hand, stood on the watchtower, watched the fire in the forest, and didn't feel a few bites.

"General, we've found out. This Liang army was lightly armed and simple, with a number of about 20,000. They did not have much food and grass on them, and their subordinates speculated that after they had eaten, they would attack our army camp with all their might. ”

The scouts of the Shu army are all the eight prison guards in the Netherworld Prison or their apprentices, and the reconnaissance skills of the first line in the army were spread from the Netherworld. Studying the art of investigation is the most basic lesson for a Netherworld Jailer.

At this time, in the Shu army camp, there were scouts of about 100 people.

The scout captain beside Tong Gu said, but saw Tong Gu raise the venison leg in his hand and bite off a piece of meat.

"Tell me to go down, let the officers and men of our army move out the arrows in the arsenal and distribute them, our army does not have much time, let the sons and daughters be diligent and fast."

Tong Drum roared, and the captain under the watchtower took the order, and trotted back to the area under his management. The 6,000 sergeants who had already been assembled rushed out in groups, and before they came to the arsenal, they bundled the arrows belonging to their own squad on the transport cart and transported them to their own area.

The movements of the Shu army were fast, but the movements of the Liang army were even faster. The Shu army had not yet finished moving all the established arrows, but the soldiers of the Liang army had already stepped through the woodland and flocked to the camp of the Shu army from all directions.

The sun was dazzling but not dazzling, the camp of the Shu army was east-west, the gate was in the south, and the rest of the directions were highland rock walls, which were difficult to attack. However, this is not much of an obstacle for the soldiers of the 20,000 Liang army.

Huan Youji carefully observed the large camp of the Shu army and felt that the layout of this large camp was a little different.

Ordinary camps are distributed in layers, and the walls must be dangerous. However, this large camp is distributed in echelons, and the front wall is even more than one person high, and then it increases layer by layer. In the place where the camp wall is connected, a lot of watchtowers have also been built.

At this height, even the most ordinary soldiers of the Liang army were able to leap up, and they were not even hindered. But the question is, since it can't even be regarded as an obstacle, why did the Shu army build?

The answer was not long in coming!

The soldiers of the Shu army quickly assembled on the connected walkway behind the wall, with longbows in their hands, short blades at their waists, and arrow baskets behind them.

Each soldier was basically equipped with two or three baskets. The arrow basket of the Shu army is similar to that of the Liang army, and one can hold fifty feather arrows. That is, each of these soldiers was armed with at least a hundred arrows.

In addition, the soldiers of the Shu army had no other armaments, and even the armor on their bodies was only the lightest leather armor.

"Archers?"

Huan Youji was a little surprised, and then waved his hand, intending to lead the troops to charge.

But he had just rushed not much distance, but a black shadow shot out of the Shu army camp.

The shadow was very fast, and it came straight towards him. At the last moment, Huan Youji swung his knife to block the vital point. saw that the arrow collided with the knife surface, and did not fall immediately, but stayed in mid-air. A huge force struck, holding on to it.

Although the time was short, when the strength subsided, Huan Youji looked at his footsteps and actually took half a step back.

This distance? Such power? This old guy named Tong Gu is not ordinary!
