Chapter 179: Battle of the Primeval Forest II
General Han knew in his heart that it was unintentional for the little girl in front of him to argue, so he said: Little girl, it is meaningless for you and me to talk about it, this general is also ordered by the Han Dynasty and the generalissimo of Han.
Here I see that you are still young, if you want to resolve this war between the two countries, you may not have that ability, this general is on a mission, and the goal of marching is unstoppable.
Before General Han's words landed, he waved his hand, and the Han army, escorted by the shield bearer, advanced again, and gave up clearing the obstacles under his feet, and rushed straight towards Princess An Ran and the others.
Princess An Ran and the four Praetorian Guards of course knew the meaning of the Han general's wave, and the order to start the war was officially issued, and the four Praetorian Guards immediately wanted to let them retreat, and all the soldiers and civilians two hundred meters away also knew the situation, so they entered the trap of the organ under their jurisdiction, intending to wait for the arrival of the Han soldiers.
Princess An Ran didn't move for a while, because she knew that if the team of the Han soldiers was not disrupted, most of the traps would be like abandoned things, so the bee sentry was put in her mouth and sounded the horn of the bees' attack, and thousands of bees saw Princess An Ran's hand moving forward and waved towards the Han soldiers.
The Han soldiers had a good way to deal with the bee army for a while, and the two were too close, only twenty or thirty meters away, and the bees blended into the Han army in a moment.
The bees also cherish their lives, they did not sacrifice their lives to attack, but tried to sweep the faces of the Han soldiers with their tail needles during the flight.
The Han soldiers are all people, although the bees are small, but everyone is afraid of the bees, although they all know that once the bees lose their tail needles, the bees are dead, but they are pricked by their needles is painful, the Han soldiers are in chaos all of a sudden, the team is scattered because of avoiding the bees, and the Han soldiers are not on the road, and the Han soldiers have become a fan-shaped advance for a while.
Princess An Ran naturally retreated safely to a hundred meters away during this period, the Han soldiers moved forward in a fan shape, the trap designed by General Zuo Qi and others played a powerful role, two groups of strong crossbowmen began to run on the left and right of the trap, constantly shooting and killing the advancing Han army, the Han soldiers saw the real enemy, of course, they were trying to catch up, this chase was unlucky, they did not avoid the trap, for a time the Han soldiers were constantly casual, and there should be no in the primeval forest, The wailing of people.
Some of the Han soldiers fell into the trap while running, some were pierced by bamboo arrows through the armor and bones, some were dumped on the trees by rope nets, some were clamped by beasts and broke their legs and feet, and some were stabbed to death by the bamboo rows.
The generals of the Han army have issued an order to advance, and the front knows that there will be a large number of traps, and they really don't take the life and death of the soldiers seriously, and there is still no order to collect the troops, and the deputy generals are going to set an example, so they can only lead the soldiers to continue to advance on the ground, the Han soldiers don't know, now they are not far from the primeval forest, only two or three miles away, and there are not many traps in front, if it is really as fast as the start of the advance, it is likely to highlight the primeval forest and enter Qishan City.
The Han soldiers advanced through the ground, greatly slowing down the advance and wasting the best time, sometimes the war is decided by time.
The Han army, which slowed down, had traps to reduce its lethality, but the crossbowmen and twenty archers were playing a role, and the casualties of the Han army were still increasing.
Princess An Ran, the general of the Left Banner, and all the soldiers and civilians are always paying attention to the advance of the Han army, because they all know in their hearts that once the Han army highlights the trap area, the attack speed of the Han army will increase all of a sudden, and the existing three or four hundred soldiers and civilians in the deep forest cannot resist it, and they can only delay the attack speed of the Han army as much as possible for a while.
General Zuo Qi is actually the real commander of the battlefield, and he is still very sensible, knowing what it means for the Han army to come out of the primeval forest, so he immediately sent a signal corps to report the situation of the primeval forest to General Landa, so that General Lan Da knows the real situation here.
Although Princess An Ran is young, her mind is still very clear, she saw the change in the attack speed of the Han army, and knew that the advancing Han army loves life, in order to slow down the attack speed of the Han army again, she thought of the deep forest wolf, once the deep forest wolf joins the battle, on the one hand, it can increase the terrifying atmosphere of the Han army, and the other is that it has a certain lethality to the Han army, the bee whistle sounded again in the mouth of Princess An Ran, and the wolves around her got the order of Princess An Ran, knowing that Princess An Ran needed their help, so she began to howl loudly from all around, After the howl, it's time to strike.
The howl of the wolf is terrifying, after the sense of fear, I saw seven or eight wolves from all around, they did not attack the group, the Han soldiers in groups, but specifically attacked the individual scattered soldiers and wounded soldiers, the effect appeared, with the rapid running and attack of seven or eight wolves in the primeval forest, the Han army was chaotic again, and the screams were even more miserable.
The speed of the Han army's advance is even slower, the advancing soldiers have to prevent the continuous appearance of traps for a while, and they have to prevent the shooting of crossbow arrows, there are bees in the air to harass, and the wolves have joined the attack, several aspects are combined, so that the Han army began to stagnate, some Han soldiers have begun to protect themselves, and began to defend back to back in groups of four or five people, the gongs and drums of the Han are urging, and the soldiers have to take a step forward, and then move to the left and right, which is no longer in the real progress, but in circles.
This state of stagnation of the Han soldiers can actually be understood by everyone, and the soldiers must not be blamed, they really have not experienced such combat experience!
General Han is not at the forefront of the war, he is not a soldier, I don't know the state of mind of the soldier now, life and death are in an instant.
More than an hour has passed, and the battle of the Han army in the primeval forest should be said from two sides, on the one hand, the Han army has broken through four or five hundred meters (counting from the first trap), and the remaining traps are less than 100 meters, which the Han army does not know, and the current mental condition of the Han army is that they have lost their fighting spirit, and their hearts have been shaken.
Princess An Ran, the general of the Left Banner, and the soldiers and ordinary people are also under psychological pressure, because the Han army has broken through most of the traps, and the number of Han soldiers is still more than 2,000 people, which is an elite soldier who is not damaged at all.
Time passed minute by minute, noon had arrived, the light of the sun shone into the primeval forest, a large amount of light passed through the branches and leaves of the tall trees, the beam was projected on the ground, forming countless points of light, for a time the light and shadow in the primeval forest were separated, the expressions and postures of the wounded and dead soldiers were all revealed, and the terrifying atmosphere in the deep forest was even more serious, and the cruel could not be seen.
Of course, the Han soldiers could see it clearly, some of the former brothers died in front of them, lying beside them, the blood of the wounds had stained the brothers' clothes and armor red, the more serious muscles and bones had been exposed to the skin, and the residual gasping continued.
The Han general can be invincible, is convinced that the soldiers will be able to kill out of the primeval forest, so he once again issued a general order, so that the deputy general led all the soldiers to break through desperately again, the generals did not command in situ, is to follow the battle, this time it completely broke the Qishan army and the people's psychological defense line, although there are strong crossbowmen and archers in the Qishan army to block, but the last trap was the fearless Han army one by one to give the human flesh, of course, it is the price of blood and life paid.
General Zuo Qi was ordered to guard the primeval forest, but he did not consider that the Han army that entered the primeval forest would be so tenacious and fearless.
The critical moment has arrived, because there is no trap in front of the Qishan army and the people, the speed of the Han army's advance will soon change, and there is no obstacle, and the back door of Qishan City will also change direction to be opened by the Han army, and he and the soldiers he leads will be derelict in their duties, once they cause casualties among the people in the later period, they will be the sinners of the Loulan people!
It is not only General Zuoqi who is anxious, but all the Qishan people who have entered the primeval forest know in their hearts that the trap is stronger than the three or four hundred soldiers and civilians who have entered the deep forest.
Of course, Princess An Ran also made up her mind to die, to delay the advance of the Han army for the country and the people, and hoped that General Lan Da would send troops as soon as possible.
Everyone has prepared the weapons in their hands, the soldiers have knives and guns, the people have agricultural tools to dig traps, and the four Praetorian Guards have the highest task, that is, to ensure the safety of Princess Enron, and it is time to let Princess Enron leave.
Princess An Ran naturally knew the thoughts of the Praetorian Guard, and General Zuo Qi also knelt down and begged Princess An Ran to leave the primeval forest immediately and retreat to the rear.
Princess An Ran's heart no longer has herself, she thinks about the people of Loulan, and she thinks about the example of Empress Lan Qier and what Lan Qier said to herself, that is, as a princess, she has special duties and tasks, and she must not retreat for her own survival, and she must not let the soldiers and civilians block the crisis and death for herself.
Princess An Ran blew the bee whistle again, this time she did not blow a whistle, it was two whistles that were changing and blowing, with the whistle blowing, the hand was fast, and the sword of the general of the left banner kneeling on the ground was pulled out with one hand, Princess An Ran, who had a sword in her hand, turned around and went straight to the Han soldiers who were highlighting the trap, bees, and wolves also gathered around it at the same time for a while, and ran to the Han soldiers together, and the four Praetorian Guards reacted quickly to the sudden situation, and immediately stood up and ran straight to Princess An Ran.
Princess An Ran had already set an example, and the generals of Zuoqi and the soldiers and ordinary people raised their weapons and farm tools for a while and collectively rushed towards the Han soldiers.
It is said that after the military letter officer was ordered by General Zuo Qi and went straight out of the primeval forest, he didn't run far before he saw General Lan and others leading a large group of soldiers to rush to the primeval forest, so he immediately greeted him and explained the situation in the primeval forest.
After the defeat of the Han army at the pass gate, they went straight to the direction of the primeval forest, and wanted to know the situation of the first battle of the primeval forest, the Han army walked outside the mountains, mainly in the desert soil, or bypassed, it would naturally be slower, and there was no sense of life crisis, it would be even slower.
General Lan and Lan Qi'er's hearts were not in an ordinary hurry, because before the battle, they saw on the wall of the pass that the Han army rushing to the primeval forest was not 1,800 people, but thousands of soldiers, and the left banner general had only three or five hundred people, and they were not all elite soldiers, and the marching speed was of course fast.
Everyone has a sense of life crisis in their hearts, the straight-line distance of the march in the mountain is short, and it is a rapid march, so it is naturally about an hour faster, and this time has really become the key point to defeat the Han army!
