Chapter 617: Ambush
As the saying goes, saving people is like fighting fire, of course Yu Hong can't make a mistake in doing this, but it also leaves a big hidden danger, that is, if he is really blocked by the enemy or the war is unfavorable, he can't fight quickly, and if the time drags on for a long time, and he can't replenish food and grass, what awaits him will inevitably be quite serious consequences.
Yu Hong has led troops for many years, and it is impossible not to know this truth. It's just that he only thinks about the speed of the soldiers at this time, so he ignores these.
At first, Yu Hong's soldiers and horses walked quite smoothly, and even if he occasionally suffered from some sporadic enemy attacks, it didn't have much impact on him. This made Yu Hong, who had been tense in his heartstrings, gradually relaxed, so much so that he ignored one thing, that is, the scout he sent before had not come back to report for a long time.
Just as Yu Hong's army came to a valley that was more than 100 zhang wide and more than ten miles long, there was a loud bang, and countless boulders fell from the sky, and then countless arrows fell from the sky like a raging storm, shooting wildly towards the soldiers and horses at the front.
Oops, it's an ambush! Yu Hong secretly screamed badly, and secretly cursed in his heart that the scouts sent out did not find the danger on both sides of the valley, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have not received the hostile information reported by the scouts for a while. He had been in a hurry to get there, and he had forgotten about it, but now that he was afraid that most of the scouts he had sent out had already been poisoned by the enemy.
Although this valley is not narrow, it is impossible to let go of the eighty or ninety thousand soldiers and horses under his command, so when it was suddenly attacked, only more than half of Yu Hong's army entered the valley. At this time, it was blocked by a boulder, and it suddenly became two. The soldiers and horses in front of them were under attack, and they were inevitably a little panicked. And the soldiers and horses behind suddenly lost contact with the main general, and they were still a little dazed and at a loss.
In the art of war, when setting up an ambush to attack the enemy, pay attention to cutting off the waist and attacking halfway, in fact, the principle is the same, in order to make it difficult for the enemy to echo the beginning and the end, causing the enemy to panic, and then to reap the greatest results. The same is true at this time.
"Don't panic, you guys go and smash the stones that stand in your way. Yu Hong was able to become the commander of the first army, naturally he had his extraordinary, after a short shock, he quickly calmed down, and casually ordered a few henchmen and lieutenants who were not weak, and ordered them to go to clear the road to ensure that the army was united in front and back, and he shook a long knife in his hand, urged his crotch to dismount, and shouted: "The rest of the people, wait with me, and kill all the people who set up an ambush." Dare to stop my army, it's really a mantis arm. ”
As soon as Yu Hong's words came out, the people who were originally a little flustered suddenly seemed to have found the backbone, and the military spirit also stabilized.
"Keep throwing stones, and they must not be allowed to clear the road. On the top of the cliffs on both sides of the valley, the Marquis of Bufeng condescended to look at the scene in the valley. Seeing that the enemy army that had suffered a surprise attack quickly regained its calm with Yu Hong's response. Even as an enemy, Bu Fenghou had to secretly praise this Yu Hong in his heart for indeed having some skills.
It's just that praise is appreciation, but as an enemy, Bu Fenghou will never show mercy. What he was thinking about most now was how to completely annihilate Hong's army, if not completely, at least completely chaotic it.
For this reason, Bu Fenghou said to his subordinates: "According to what I have arranged before, do your best to divide them and create chaos, and at the same time damage their men and horses as much as possible." Remember, I don't have to kill a lot of people, but the more enemies I want to hurt, the better. ”
Speaking of this, Bu Fenghou waved his hand to the more than ten sturdy and high-armed elite soldiers who had been following him, and said, "Come with me." ”
These elite soldiers were very different from other soldiers armed with swords and spears. What they were holding in their hands was a very delicate longbow, with runes engraved on the bow, and from time to time a flash of light flashed, it was the God Destroying Bow.
The God Exterminator Bow is not a rarity in the Han army, but it is not something that can be obtained by just anyone. At the beginning, Xia Fan captured Lan Haotian and used it to blackmail Lu Chuan, and he extorted a lot of crossbows and god-destroying bows, this time in order to defeat the 300,000 troops led by Fang Sen, Xia Fan also really invested enough money, so he distributed these god-destroying bows to the various teams under his command.
Using the God Destroying Bow that he had extorted from Lu Chuan to defeat his enemies and rescue them, it was really a drink and a peck, implying a number of days.
Bu Fenghou's subordinates also received a lot, except for a part of which he sent to individual elites to kill the strong in the enemy army when attacking, there were also fifteen that he kept behind, and specially found fifteen elite archers. In order to deal with the situation at this time.
"Listen, aim at that guy, shoot three rounds in a row, and then disperse and look for other worthy targets on your own. Bu Fenghou pointed to Yu Hong, who was riding a high-headed horse, carrying a long knife in his hand, and rushing towards the exit of the valley at full speed with a group of elite henchmen.
On the battlefield, of course, you can do anything to win. Bu Fenghou overlooked Yu Hong, although he admired his martial bravery, but he would not give up the idea of shooting him because of this. On the contrary, it was precisely because of the great impact on the morale of his subordinates that the Marquis of Bu Feng preferred to kill him in one fell swoop.
"Yes. The lead archer replied and gestured to the others.
The archers opened the huge quiver behind them, took out three rune arrows from it, and immediately opened their bows. As they gradually exerted their strength, seeing that the longbow was pulled to the point where it was like a full moon, the runes on the bow began to flash with dazzling light, and at the same time, the surrounding heaven and earth aura also entered it under the attraction of the runes, attaching to the spirit rune arrows.
The spirit rune arrows that were already shining with a faint light were getting brighter and brighter at this time, especially the runes on the arrow clusters were even more dazzling and shining, as if each rune seemed to come alive and would jump out at any time.
"Kill!"
At this time, the archer who was leading at this time let out a loud shout and suddenly let go of his fingers.
"Boom ......"
The archers had already had a tacit understanding, and there was the order of the leader, and they were almost at the same time loosened. In an instant, the bowstring rebounded, and the sound of breaking the air roared, like thunder. More than a dozen sounds were connected together, and it was like a thunderclap on the ground. Not only was the sound loud, but even the air within a hundred zhang of the surrounding area vibrated with it, and even the soil on the ground was shaken up under the agitation of energy.
"Boom ......"
The bowstring rebounded with such power, and the fifteen spirit rune arrows flew out of the string with even greater momentum. When the spirit rune arrow, which was much longer than the ordinary arrow, came out at this time, it suddenly turned into a dazzling light, not like an arrow, but like a meteor falling above the nine heavens, and the thunder that thundered down above the clouds was unstoppable towards Yu Hong.
"It's not good, there is a god-destroying bow to protect the general. ”
"Kill them. ”
"Shoot back, shoot back!"
......
As soon as the spirit rune arrow came out, the momentum was amazing, and the elite guards around Yu Hong immediately noticed it. In the roar, a countermeasure was immediately made.
Some of them raised their shields and soared into the air, risking their lives to block the roaring spirit rune arrows. Others also drew the same god-destroying bow from the horse under their crotch, and opened the bow with arrows, shooting at each other, not to kill, but to disturb the other party.
The "Boom ......" spirit rune arrows were as fast as lightning and came in an instant, so before the defensive measures of those personal guards could take effect, fifteen thunderous Limangs were approaching.
"Bang ......" Although the guards were a little slower to react, one of them still blocked a spirit rune arrow. It's just that although the shield in his hand also has a spirit rune flickering, and the defense is not weak, it is obviously specially refined to block arrows, but at this time, under the bombardment of the spirit rune arrows, it only lasted less than two breaths before it shattered with a bang. Then the guard also banged, and was blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the spirit rune arrow, and the scene was extremely bloody.
It's just that at this time, no one cares about this, almost eighty or ninety percent of the people are looking at the remaining fourteen Limangs and Yu Hong, who is stepping across the horse and carrying a knife.
Will he be able to resist it? Will he die? That's the question that almost everyone is thinking.
"Huh!" Yu Hong shouted, and suddenly swung his sword, and the snow-white sword burst out in an instant, not only shooting out a hundred and ten zhang away in an instant, but also becoming a hundred zhang high, not like a sharp sword, but like a rising tide, blasting towards the fourteen spirit rune arrows with overwhelming momentum.
"Boom ......"
The sword and the spirit rune arrow collided, and suddenly made an earth-shattering sound, which echoed in the valley for a long time, and it was endless. There were many soldiers who were closer or weaker, and they were directly shocked to the point of bleeding to death.
This was just the beginning, when the powerful power and violent wind that erupted from the sword and spirit rune arrows swept in all directions, almost all the people and horses within a radius of five or six hundred zhang were more or less impacted. The lighter ones are shocked or fall to the ground, but the more serious ones are broken bones and tendons, and they will die with a whimper.
Not only the people, but also the cliffs on both sides of the valley were shaken and thundered, and the rubble was scattered and dust was flying.
"Wow......"
Under the strong impact, the spirit horse under Yu Hong's crotch involuntarily retreated backwards. Just a few steps back, he hissed and screamed, and fell to the ground, obviously shocked to death by the strong impact.
The war horses that can become generals are generally not ordinary spirit horses, otherwise how can they withstand the strong impact of the generals fighting. Yu Hong's horse is naturally unusual, but he still died, which shows how strong the power of the bombardment just now is.
Although the crotch dismounted helped share a lot of impact, Yu Hong was still not very comfortable at this time. After all, this was a salvo of fourteen spirit rune arrows. Even if his strength is not weak, but it is not very comfortable to block it head-on, and it is already very good not to vomit blood on the spot.
