Chapter 168: Interception
Seeing that the jungle in the northeast was the closest, Yang Zhi led the Chu army to retreat to the jungle while engaging the battle.
The Ba people also understood his intentions, and the encirclement was like the shadow of the Chu army itself, rapidly moving with their transfer.
In a bloody battle, Yang Zhi finally retreated to the edge of the jungle, but there were only more than thirty of his own people alive around him.
At this time, for the people of Chu, the dense forest was the best umbrella, although they knew that the Ba people were better at jungle warfare, but they had no choice.
The desperate Chu people finally got into the jungle at the cost of more than 20 lives.
The Ba people threw their rattan shields one after another, chased them into the jungle, and searched separately.
Yang Zhi entered the dense forest, but he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and ran into the depths of the jungle indiscriminately.
Running out of about three miles, Yang Zhi found that there were no more people left with him, and at the same time, he did not find that the Ba people were chasing him, and wanted to find a general direction to return to the Chu army station.
Yang Zhi was looking for wild things to walk, suddenly, found more than ten steps ahead, there were two Ba people, one was extremely majestic, the other was more delicate, standing between two thick old green bar trees, holding a sword in his hand, staring at himself, his eyes were sharp.
Yang Zhi fled in the wilderness, only thinking that there were Ba people chasing behind him, but he didn't expect that there would suddenly be an interception in front of him, and he was surprised.
Two interceptors, one is the tiger Benmu Mangzi, and the other is the salt dragon - seeing Yangzhi running into the jungle, the salt dragon said to the Mu Mangzi beside him, "Come with me!"
Mu Mangzi suffered a loss last time after following Tho Manzi, this time he followed Yanlong's side, listening to his call, he didn't have to think, he ran with Yanlong, and sure enough, he intercepted Yangzhi - Mu Mangzi couldn't figure out why Yanlong was so familiar with the jungle.
ββYang Zhi saw that the salt dragon was too majestic, and it was two people, and he didn't dare to fight hard, so he had to quickly turn around, and just collided with the chasing dream dragon.
After the battle just now, he already knew that this person was Hu'an Mountain's Dream Dragon.
At the same time, Yang Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no one around Menglong for a while, and he must have run away from the others like himself.
When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were red, Yang Zhi's anger stood on end, he shouted, and stabbed with a sword.
The dragon dodged, dodged a few steps, and stabbed his sword into the trunk of a large pine tree behind him.
Due to the force being too strong, the long sword pierced deeply, Yang Zhi withdrew the sword hard, and as soon as he pulled out half of it, the Menglong had already given up his body, and a sword pierced through the side of his chest.
Menglong didn't have time to pull out his sword, and while listening to Yang Zhi's "ah", he turned around, and his long sword was also drawn out and stabbed at him.
Dream Dragon abandoned his sword and dodged another sword.
Yang Zhi was no longer able to carry out a second attack, and took a step back, leaning his body against the pine tree he had stabbed.
From the angle, depth, and feeling of the stabbing in his hand, the dream dragon knew that his sword went in, and there was no need to make up for it - the real Baguo warrior respected his opponent, and he could be lethal, and he would not stab his opponent into a hornet's nest.
Yang Zhi looked at Yu Menglong and said calmly: "Boy, you have become famous in one battle!
At this moment, Tiger Ben Salt Dragon and Mu Mangzi chased after him.
The Menglong was still reminiscing about Yang Zhi's dying words, and the tiger salt dragon stepped forward and gave Yang Zhi a sword in his chest, he didn't want to see him die slowly.
Yanlong first took out Menglong's sword, handed it to Mu Mangzi, who didn't know what to do, and then took Yangzhi's sword, and slashed his head.
The salt dragon raised his head high, blood drenched his hair and face, and shouted: "Childe killed Yangzhi! Childe killed Yangzhi!"
Hearing the call, Zhu Ding and other pursuing people rushed over, and saw that Meng Meng Long was fine, but Yang Zhi was dead, and cheered loudly!
Gu Menglong left a few people behind, buried Yang Zhi's body nearby, marked it, and sent his head back to Shicheng, while the others left the jungle and continued to pursue the Chu army along the main road.
Chu's defeated troops retreated to Xiaoguan, and Lu Wei, the deputy general of the pass, was shocked: "What's going on? General Yangzhi should be the first to withdraw?"
On the battlefield, anything can happen suddenly, Lu Wei did not dare to hesitate, opened and closed the door, let go of the defeated army, and led troops to intercept the Pakistani army.
After a while, Ba Guo Bapeng, Tu Tianqi, Fan Xiaohu and others chased after him.
Ba Pong took the lead in the battle, and the battle was not counted, killing Lu Wei.
After a big killing, the Chu army was defeated again and continued to retreat, and the Ba army passed through Xiaoguan and continued to pursue.
Not long after, Ba Yuanan, Ba Xiu and others have also chased to Xiaoguan.
Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince of Pakistan, said: "Please General Junqi occupy Xiaoguan." β
Ba Xiu persuaded: "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the poor don't chase after it, it's best to withdraw the troops, otherwise the snake will add to the problem." β
"Otherwise, the defeat of the army is like a mountain, and it should be pursued fiercely and smash the city, which is a good opportunity from heaven. Besides, the generals have already killed their eyes, and they can't hold their feet for a while!" Ba Yuanan was excited, and after speaking, he led the troops to chase after him.
Ba Peng and the others chased out for several miles, and saw that the Chu army in front of them was all scattered, with mountains on both sides.
Yuhou general Ba Kai said: "The mountains here are high on both sides, and I am afraid of ambushes!"
Ba Peng said: "The people of Chu are only afraid that their feet are short, where is there an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a trumpet sounded, and Ling Shang shouted: "Blind! I have fallen for my lord's plan, so I don't surrender quickly!"
Ba Peng was shocked: "When did you fall into an ambush! Retreat!"
Arrows were fired at all on the ridge, and the Ba people left countless corpses.
The Chu army chased after them from the front and from the mountains, and the Pakistani army was frightened and hurriedly retreated; just as Ba Yuan'an, Fan Jin, and others arrived, they could not hold the horns of the formation, and trampled to death.
Ba Peng, Gong Biao, Tu Tianqi, and Fan Xiaohu were originally in the front, but at this time they became the back, desperately resisting.
The Pakistani army retreated to Xiaoguan in a hurry, most of them had already entered the pass, and a small part was entering the pass in a panic, and the Chu army had arrived and was desperately trying to grab the pass.
Suddenly, arrows rained down, the Chu army suffered countless casualties, and hurriedly collected its troops, and the Pakistani army that had not been able to retreat into Xiaoguan was also shot and killed.
It turned out that Ba Xiu entered Xiaoguan, and he was always not at ease, worried that something would happen, so he made preparations in advance, and when he saw that the situation was very critical, he had to order the random arrows to be released.
The Chu army collected its troops, counted the number of people, killed and wounded more than 2,000 people, and several generals such as Yang Zhi were killed in battle.
Yang Ming burst into tears: "The death of my younger brother and several generals is my great sin." originally wanted him to plan the plan, abandon the pass to lure the enemy, and make a miraculous feat, not wanting to be lost in the battle. β
Deputy General Zhuang Ruoyu said: "We originally followed your strategy, general, pretending to be in an ambush, and then lured the Pakistani army through Xiaoguan and entered the ambush with defeat.
"The progress was going very smoothly, but I didn't want to, at the last moment, a few more generals were killed in the forest, and General Yangzhi was entangled to death, and we couldn't kill the Ba army with all our might, so General Yangzhi was killed. β
Yang Ming hated: "Do you know who killed my brother?"
"Some people who escaped back said that it was Hu'an Shi, and he was a dream dragon!"
"I have turned to ashes, and I have remembered this person! Withdraw to Yicheng and take revenge again!"
Yang Ming's confidant general Zhuang Fu said: "Today's battle is at most a draw, why does the general want to retire?"
"Yang Zhi is the tiger general of our country, he sacrificed his life for the country, and his morale was greatly damaged. And the little brother is in trouble, and I am in chaos. β
Zhuang Fu knew himself too well, and seeing that Zhuang Fu seemed to be skeptical of his statement, Yang Ming made a call.
