Chapter 227: Ambush (I)
Guan Hai and Du Yuan were both in the Chinese army, and while they were talking, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army had already entered the forest avenue.
This place is still ten miles away from Fengxiang, and more than 20,000 "great", "invincible", and "sacred" Yellow Turban soldiers have gone to crusade, presumably that Fengxiang's Inhuman Lord should be so frightened that his soul is not possessed. Although there is a saying that "every forest is cautious", the Yellow Turban Army didn't care, anyway, they came like this all the way, and they didn't see anything.
The road in the forest is not too narrow, and there is no problem for the four people to walk side by side. The vanguard marched under the leadership of the adjutant general, without much noise, and the whole team looked calm. This unit is worthy of being the elite division of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Soon after the 5,000-strong vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army entered the forest, the Chinese army led by Guan Hai and Du Yuan also arrived in front of the forest. Although these two people didn't think that they would be ambushed, out of the instinct of being generals, they still let the troops stand by and rest for a while, and estimated that when the vanguard troops were about to leave the forest, Du Yuan ordered the troops to come out.
I have to say that it is precisely because of Guan Hai and Du Yuan's caution that the Yellow Turban Army avoided greater losses in this ambush!
The vanguard of the Yellow Turban could already see the exit of the dense forest, and the deputy general who led the team couldn't help but urge a few more times. Although the air in the forest is relatively fresh, it is really not attractive to these Yellow Turban soldiers who have been on the road for several hours.
With a "whoosh", a crossbow arrow flew out of the forest, nailing it accurately to the forehead of a Yellow Turban soldier carrying a banner. The Yellow Turban soldier collapsed limply, and the red blood flowers quickly dyed the flag red!
There was a bang, and the arrow just now brought a lot of arrows, directly announcing the arrival of the arrow rain! A puff of crossbow arrows flew out of the woods on both sides, and the Yellow Turban Army on the avenue in the forest could only serve as a target, and the screams kept ringing out.
"Enemy attack! Quick, form a shield array!! The Yellow Turban Adjutant reacted fairly quickly and immediately issued an order. The panicked Yellow Turbans immediately began to move closer, trying to form a protective ring with their shields to avoid being harmed by the rain of arrows.
But this time, the ambush circle laid by the first dead soldiers, not only are there people standing on the ground, but there are also many people who are on the trees in the positions of the first dead soldiers, plus they are at different heights, a typical three-dimensional firepower network! Under such a network of firepower, the Yellow Turban Army wants to rely on a few shields to protect itself, which is obviously a bit wishful thinking. The crossbow arrows shot from all directions caused heavy casualties to the Yellow Turban Army, and the shield array composed of more than a dozen people was simply careless, and it was useless!
Under such circumstances, the Yellow Turban Army had to seek to form a larger shield array, but this approach quickly proved to be futile, and the lethality and penetration of the crossbow arrows shot in the forest were too great!
A Yellow Turban soldier named Mock Lao Ge hid in the shield array, and slowly moved towards the exit with the Yellow Turban Army beside him. It's not that he likes to move slowly like this, but in order to ensure safety and avoid loopholes in the shield array, he has to do so.
The rain of arrows in the forest has not stopped until now, and I don't know how many people are ambushed inside, although it is heroic to rush into the forest at this time, but it is almost certain that the direct consequence of doing so is that I will never see the moon tonight again!
-- The two hundred regular troops that the mayor of a certain town had placed in the forest out of caution had obviously not played as well as expected, and the blood and courage of these Yellow Turbans were still a little worse.
The shield array continued to disintegrate and reorganize in the baptism of arrows, and many Yellow Turban soldiers were killed every minute, and the survivors had to continue to endure such torment.
The screams kept coming from the ears of the old man, and the arrows shot by the people in the forest were full of accuracy, and the shield array inevitably had gaps in the process of moving, and often as soon as these gaps appeared, the arrows flew in accurately from the cracks, making the people inside unbearable! In fact, now that the old man wants to die, those enemies are so despicable that someone is lying on the ground and shooting on his feet! Within two minutes of joining this shield array, Si Lao Ge witnessed the tragic death of more than 20 brothers under the arrows, the most tragic one was first hit by an arrow in the ankle, and less than three seconds after he fell, more than ten crossbow arrows had been "embedded" in his body!
In fact, what worries the simulated old man is not only the accuracy of the enemy's arrows, but also something more fatal, the incredible penetration of the crossbow arrows!
In the middle of the shield array, the arrow shot on the shield array and there was a "bang bang" sound, as if someone outside was smashing the shield with a sledgehammer. After the intensive "banging" sound, several crossbow arrows had mostly been nailed to the outside of the shields, and some of the shields had already cracked! Such a powerful killing brought huge psychological fear to the Yellow Turban Army, and the mind of the simulated old man was almost blank. What kind of weapon can achieve such an effect?!
The Yellow Turbans, who are responsible for holding the shield, must use all their strength to hold the shield under the huge impact. The Yellow Turban Army, which had already been exhausted just now, set a bad example, and although the shield did not fly out of his hand, it caused a large gap in the shield array, and several people lost their lives for it.
The lieutenant who led the leading team saw that the situation was wrong, and shouted in a hurry: "Leave quickly, don't wait here to die!" ”
As soon as the words fell, two crossbow arrows had already followed the sound, and the lieutenant general could no longer speak.
However, the adjutant general's shout was still heard by many Yellow Turban soldiers, and with the current shape shì, it seems that he can only leave as much as possible, otherwise he will be shot into a hedgehog by those powerful arrows sooner or later. The small leaders of the Yellow Turban Army shouted loudly to command the Yellow Turban Army to break through, but the enemy lurking in the forest from the beginning to the present, it seems that the arrows have not been released, in this case, it is not easy to break through!
In fact, in such a situation, it may be better to rush into the forest, and with the cover of trees, you may be able to avoid arrows from the shadows, at least better than being a target on the road. But no one in the Yellow Turbans knew how many enemies there were in the forest, especially when several Yellow Turbans rushed down the road into the woods, but soon after the screams were heard, no one dared to run into the forest.
The unseen danger is the most terrifying!
It's just that their lives are at stake, and the Yellow Turban Army can only struggle to survive in the rain of arrows. Running in front of the efforts to rush out of the forest, many of the Yellow Turban Army in the rear team are planning to retreat!
Ju Yi and Lu Han's position is at the end of the encirclement, just to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from "returning the same way", and now seeing that the Yellow Turban Army wants to run, of course they can't sit idly by! Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army basically did not dare to enter the woods, Lu Han immediately dispatched forty regular troops to firmly block the intersection at the end of the encirclement.
Of course, these forty people were not enough to stop the Yellow Turban Army who were eager to escape, and although they were covered by the crossbow arrows of the first dead soldiers, Lu Han's men were still a little unable to summon them. It wasn't until Lu Han and Ju Yi joined the war group successively that the situation was stabilized. The Yellow Turban Army tried several times and could not rush through, but was almost collapsed after being killed and injured by the crossbow arrows flying out of the forest.
Ju Yi watched the struggle of the Yellow Turban Army on the forest avenue, his eyes full of excitement. The 5,000 Yellow Turban Army was suppressed to death by his own 4ooo Erlang, and after a while, the 5ooo enemies who entered the encirclement had been abolished by at least forty percent!
"Tut, I said Lu Han, it's good to follow the lord, the two-stone rhubarb crossbow can be equipped! Look at this power, one arrow can pierce two enemies, tsk! Ju Yi grinned and stabbed a Yellow Turban soldier not far away.
Lu Han heard the black line on his forehead, isn't this Ju Yi deliberately angry? The big yellow crossbow in the hands of the first dead man has always made Lu Han salivate, especially after being upgraded to the two-stone big yellow crossbow, Lu Han is even more greedy.
But Lu Han knew that the rhubarb crossbow was expensive, and there was a big gap between his ability and Gao Shun, Ju Yi and others. Even among the talents cultivated by Feng Xiang himself, there is also a Di Yun who is better than Lu Han, Ah Niu asked him to be in charge of the regular troops, Lu Han was already very surprised and sincerely grateful, this big man is not stupid enough to "compete for favor" with Ju Yi!
However, after Lu Han and Ju Yi got along for a while, he also understood that Ju Yi was just an unintentional remark, not a deliberate ridicule, so he replied casually: "General Ju's army lord has always valued it very much, and this time, my troops and those martial artists seem to be carrying ammunition for you, and only now have you found some opportunities to do it." ”
Ju Yi laughed proudly when he heard this.
The rain of arrows from the first dead soldier has not stopped until now, thanks to the "ammunition" that friendly forces help to carry. Each quiver can hold 2o arrows, in addition to the two arrows brought by Xiandeng himself, there are more than 5oo "coolies" who each brought four arrows, and each Xiandeng dead man can be divided into six cylinders of 12o arrows! So many crossbow arrows are enough to squander the first dead soldiers, and about 50,000 arrows against 5ooo Yellow Turban Army, there is no way to have the problem of insufficient ammunition.
At this time, the four hundred first dead soldiers in the forest were shooting up, and those crossbow arrows were swaying out as if they didn't want money, and the Yellow Turban Army in the forest was shot miserably.
With Ju Yi and Lu Han guarding the "back door", the Yellow Turban Army's dream of returning the same way to escape from the encirclement came to naught. Even if you want to bypass the defense from the forest, it is impossible, I don't know how many enemies there are, anyway, the Yellow Turban Army that entered the woods hardly managed to survive half a minute!
At the end of the line, someone in the Yellow Turban Army began to shout: "Run!" It's only a mile from the exit of the woods, and there seems to be no one blocking the road in front of it! ”
The Yellow Turbans in despair were like hearing a holy decree, and most of them responded immediately. Lu Han and Ju Yi stood on the way of the Yellow Turban Army, how easy was it to break through the defense of these two people? Although Lin Zhongdao is not too narrow, only four or five people can come forward to fight, how can these ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers kill historical generals like Ju Yi! As soon as the spears were unfurled, the Yellow Turban soldiers who came forward were either killed or wounded.
The Yellow Turban Army in the back is even more miserable, the enemy in the forest keeps firing arrows, and the powerful crossbow arrows are very painful to nail on the body, and there are already many Yellow Turban soldiers crying bitterly under the "comfort" of the crossbow arrows, and they scream loudly. God knows what kind of weapon this is!
Since you can't rush over, instead of waiting here for death, it's better to change direction and see if there is a way to live. This is what most of the Yellow Turbans think now, including the Simulated Lao Ge. Just now, he followed his companions and retreated, but now he had to change his target and run towards the exit of the woods a mile away.
It's just that this seemingly short mile is now a veritable "road to death"!
People are constantly being shot by crossbow arrows flying from the woods on both sides, and the crossfire net created by the first death soldier is amazingly effective, and the crossbow arrows can appear in any direction!
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army in the encirclement was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and it was completely unable to pose a threat to Feng Xiang's first deceased.
Killing, in progress!
The shouts of fighting in the forest made Guan Hai and Du Yuan clearly know the fate of the former army. The two looked at each other, but they didn't expect to be attacked when they were still ten miles away from Fengxiang, it seemed that Zheng Aniu had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he would actually take the initiative to attack himself and others.
Guan Hai's eyes widened angrily, and he couldn't help but say: "The brother in front seems to be in trouble, there is an ambush in the forest." I'll take someone to pick it up first, and General Du will come back later. After saying that, Guan Hai turned the horse's head and wanted to move forward.
Du Yuan said: "General Guan, rest assured, Fengxiang Town is a third-level township, with only a thousand troops, and counting their martial artists, there will be at most two or three or hundred more people." Fengxiang Town has many territories, Zheng Aniu will not bring all the troops out, I expect that this ambush is just to disrupt our army's itinerary! You go first, and I'll pick you up later. ”
Although Du Yuan was reluctant to provoke Feng Xiang, a difficult opponent, he had already led his troops to fight, and he could only do his best to deal with Feng Xiang. Du Yuan has lived in Fengxiang for a period of time, and he has some understanding of Fengxiang's strength, but this benevolent brother does not know that Ah Niu has the building of the Hidden Soldier Cave, and his judgment of Fengxiang's strength is somewhat wrong.
There are indeed not many people brought out by Ah Niu, but Feng Xiang's ambush this time is not as Du Yuan expected, mainly harassment, and the goal of a certain town mayor for this operation is to annihilate the enemy who has entered the ambush circle!
-- This also made Du Yuan have many charges after this battle, such as "fornicating with the enemy, making the enemy prepare in advance, and using ambushes to guide our side to heavy losses", "providing false information, making our generals make wrong judgments" and many other crimes!
