Chapter 344: Like a Heavenly Trench
At that moment, "Bang! The sound sounded in the ears of the cavalry general, and immediately he secretly said that it was not good, and followed the reputation, only to see that the rocks on the hillside on the left suddenly flew out of the sky, covering them overwhelmingly in their direction!
"There's an ambush!"
As he shouted, countless arrows shot out from the hillside like locusts. Before the gravel arrived, the arrows arrived first.
On the open flat ground, there was not the slightest shelter, and the dismounted cavalry was not much stronger than the ordinary infantry, although they had drawn their weapons for the first time and tried to block the flying arrows, but the arrows were easy to dispose, and the gravel was not something they could resist. The rubble mixed with the sound of breaking the sky indiscriminately covered the rebel soldiers on the open ground, and in just one round, dozens of cavalrymen were killed by stones, plus thousands of cavalrymen who were wounded by arrows, and more than 100 people were killed and wounded in one round.
In this case, there was no need for the commander to give an order, and all the cavalry subconsciously ran towards the passage in which they entered. Accustomed to fighting right away, they suddenly found that they had to rely on their own two legs to run, which was really not an ordinary slow!
Although the passage was narrow, the people who were at the back of the line and now ran at the front still had a good chance of escaping, but the ambushers obviously didn't want them to escape so easily. Another burst of rubble blasted out, this time not the fleeing crowd, but the narrow passage.
To the stunned of the cavalrymen who were busy fleeing, under the bombardment of a piece of rubble, the already narrow passage actually collapsed into a large pit, which was not too deep, but if a person fell into it. It's never easy to climb out. Originally, the pit did not appear when everyone passed through before, but under the bombardment of rubble. The overwhelmed cover crumbled in an instant.
A few cavalrymen who ran relatively fast fell into the air as soon as they stepped into the air, and there were some unlucky guys who had obviously regained their feet. was knocked down the pit by someone from behind.
At this time, the cavalry general had already figured out the situation he was facing, judging from the number of arrows, the number of ambushes on the other side was not very large, if he risked his life to fight, maybe he could turn defeat into victory, on the contrary, if he did not fight and collapsed, even if he fled back. It is inevitable that they will be dealt with by military law.
Under his leadership, the cavalry gradually recovered, and attacked the hillside under the rain of rubble and arrows. However, there was a river between the open and the hillside, which was neither wide nor narrow, and if you wanted to get up the hillside, you had to cross it. Fortunately, the river is not deep, and it is just waist-high.
However, the sneak attackers on the hill did not intend to give them a chance to fight back. Rebel soldiers who swam across the river with great difficulty were exposed to the setting sun. It's like a slow-moving target. The soldiers in this ambush were all aboriginal soldiers who had been systematically trained, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow was not at all comparable to that of the player, occupying a condescending advantage, pouring down on the enemy one after another.
It didn't take a while. Countless cavalry fell in the river, and the elite trained by these rebels died in such an extremely aggrieved mood. The cavalry general was taken aback when he saw this. He didn't expect that Taoyuan Town would have a force in his hands that had mastered the ability to shoot arrows, because he felt that players couldn't shoot arrows. That's why he took the risk of trying to attack with his subordinates. But according to the current situation, these people on their own side are tantamount to sending them to death. No one had a chance to rush to the other side.
The threat of gravel was greatly reduced due to the loose formation, but this deadly arrow was harvesting the lives of the cavalry all the time.
The cavalry general knew that he could not go on like this, and just as he was about to give the order for his men to flee in all directions, a sharp arrow flew from a distance with a strong wind, and struck him in the throat. The cavalry general clung to the arrow that pierced his throat and wanted to say something, but his trachea was broken, and he still had the ability to speak, so he could only stare wide-eyed and fall into the water unwillingly.
"Lao Huang! Your archery is really worthy of its name! Wang Hao praised from the bottom of his heart.
"The lord praises it! We still have to thank the general of the enemy army, if it weren't for him commanding his subordinates to attack, it would not be easy for us to serve so many elite soldiers in one pot. Huang Zheng looked at the enemy soldiers who wanted to rush up to avenge the commander because of the commander's death, and smiled quite reservedly.
Wang Hao was about to answer, when suddenly Wen Sili sent a request to call.
After a short call, Wang Hao said to Huang Zheng with a smile: "Old Huang, dare to love us, we have found a treasure this time!" Hurry up and take a bunch of men and horses in the direction where the rebels came, there are good things waiting for us! ”
"What's good?"
"You'll know when you get there, I'll just have to be here! Just go! ”
The good thing Wang Hao said was naturally a whole thousand war horses left by the rebels, and there were only a dozen rebel cavalry left to guard the war horses, and Huang Zheng was enough to deal with it alone, not to mention bringing a full hundred soldiers. However, unfortunately, the horses were basically left, but the rebel cavalry had two quick reactions and escaped in time.
Huang Zheng didn't bother to chase after him, he was ecstatic, the first thing he had to do was naturally to send these war horses back to Taoyuan Town as soon as possible, compared to these precious war horses, those ambushed rebels were nothing at all, not to mention, with Wang Hao here, those people had no chance to escape at all.
Although the rebel cavalry wanted to avenge their commander, the cruel reality told them that this small river that did not look very good was like a moat, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not reach the damn other side, and when they realized this and wanted to scatter and escape, there were less than three hundred people who could move, most of them were injured to varying degrees.
Wang Hao did not spare them at all, and as the enemy scattered and fled, he urged his men to kill them from hidden places, and shoot whoever escaped the fastest. For a while, wailing was all over the open field, and some people who were really afraid of being killed simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
At the end of the battle, only a very small number of people managed to escape from the other three sides, and the vast majority remained here.
Of course, Wang Hao would not be naïve to think that the enemy had all been wiped out, and under his special attention, when he cleaned up the battlefield, he really found a lot of enemies from the pile of corpses who intended to get by. (To be continued.) )
