Chapter 67: Fish Dragon Gorge
"What's going on?"
Yang Qing looked at the thousands of cavalry who had fled back, and had an ominous premonition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info let Li Xiao block the other party's pursuit pace, there is no reason to come back so soon, and Li Xiao doesn't seem to have come back.
"Marshal, everyone else is dead. One of the commanders said with his head down. That kind of dense rain of arrows, he still has a psychological shadow now. It seems that they were facing not five thousand archers, but fifty thousand.
Their cavalry, under that kind of dense attack, lost a third before they were halfway through the charge, and the entire lineup was completely disorganized, and they were simply used as live targets.
"Why is this happening?" Yang Qing's face was full of disbelief: "There are 10,000 cavalry in the Dragon Kingdom, and we have 20,000, why did we lose so badly?" Even if the army of the Dragon Kingdom is particularly strong, they will not lose so much that only three or four thousand men and horses are left.
"They had a strange bow and arrow, a very dense rain of arrows, and we rushed over it, completely on target. The general rushed to the front and also died. ā
"A strange bow, a very dense rain of arrows?" Yang Qing's pupils shrank, and the scene in front of the heavenly moat came to his mind. That kind of dense rain of arrows, even he has a psychological shadow.
"Their bows can shoot arrows continuously, continuously. An arrow curtain composed of thousands of people shooting is comparable to tens of thousands of archers. We rushed over and fell in an instant, unable to get close. If we don't run away, we'll all die. Every time he mentioned the bow and arrow, the Commander's body trembled.
"Damn, when did the Dragon Kingdom have this kind of weapon. Yang Qing clenched his fists: "You return to the team, order everyone to speed up, cross the Fish Dragon Gorge and rest." ā
After cleaning the battlefield and recovering all the intact bows and arrows, Jun Wuwu took the cavalry and pursued in the direction of retreating from the Yun Kingdom. The results of this battle were very good, losing more than 500 horses, replacing more than 15,000 soldiers from Yun Kingdom, and harvesting more than 8,000 war horses.
This is a big victory, but this is an asymmetrical war, and the loss of 500 men and horses is unacceptable to Jun Wuwu. If those soldiers' arrows could be on time, it would not be a problem to completely annihilate the 20,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side. Because the situation is completely a cold weapon of five thousand people fighting the enemy with pistols.
"Let's go. After reorganizing the army, Jun Wuwu led the team and followed the march path from the cloud country.
......
Wang Junying crouched on the top of a mountain in Yulong Gorge, always keeping an eye on the way he came. This is a natural ambush point, as long as the dragon cavalry enters this canyon, they will be able to keep them coming and going.
Yesterday's battle made him particularly aggrieved, and this was the biggest defeat he had suffered since he had been a general for so long. Even the marshal was shot and wounded by the opposing commander's general in the battle, although it was a minor injury, but the blow to morale was not ordinary.
Now they urgently need a victory to restore their morale, otherwise the team will collapse before they return to Hanyu Pass, and the consequences will be very terrifying.
"General, the army of the Dragon Kingdom is here. A commander beside Wang Junying reminded.
Wang Junying, who came back to his senses from his thoughts, immediately looked at the commander. I saw nearly 10,000 cavalry coming this way.
Looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer, Wang Junying's heart slowly became excited. As long as the opposite side enters the canyon, it is their death period. Suddenly, the cavalry of the Dragon Kingdom stopped, causing Wang Junying's pupils to shrink.
Jun Wuwu observed the top of the canyon with a telescope. This first-line Ichthyosaurus Gorge is dangerous, with a funnel-shaped canyon wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and only three horses can pass side by side.
As long as you know how to fight, you will set up an ambush here. In the anti-Japanese dramas and costume dramas of the previous life, the routine of ambushing in the canyon is a classic bridge.
"Marshal, is there an ambush here?" Ai Xi stared at the telescope in Jun Wuwu's hand, Jun Wuwu was looking at this new thing, and even he was a little curious.
"If it were you, and there were pursuers behind you, would you be ambushed here?" said Jun Wuwu.
"Yes. Aishi nodded without hesitation: "The grass and woods above the canyon are too dense, which is very suitable for Tibetans." ā
"That's right, as long as you are a person with a brain, you know that there is an ambush inside, but this canyon is not small, where it is hidden, which location, I don't know. Jun Wuwu took the binoculars and continued to look for movement.
"What then?" asked Essie.
"Cold salad. Jun Wuwu muttered: "If it were you, what would you do?"
"Me?" Ash didn't expect Jun Wuwu to ask back: "If it's me, let the spies go over to explore the way first." ā
"Nonsense. Jun Wuwu rolled his eyes, feeling that it was superfluous to talk to Aixi, a big boss: "Mo beauty, tell you something." Jun Wuwu looked at Mo who was riding a horse and following Ah Fat.
"As soon as you set fire to it, the ambush soldiers hiding inside came out. Mo Qianxin didn't wait for Jun Wuwu to ask, and said directly: "Last time, you burned a few mountains and burned tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, without even blinking your eyes. ā
"It's easy to set fires, but it's hard to put out fires. If you are not careful, the road ahead will be blocked. Even if they burn it, they must find their hiding place and burn it again!" Jun Wuwu said.
"Then what are you asking me to do?" Mo said angrily. Yesterday, she broke through, and Jun Wuwu guarded her by her side, which made her feel better about Jun Wuwu, but she still wouldn't give a good face to this gentleman.
"I just wanted to ask if you can find someone inside. Jun Wuwu said.
Last time, Mo poured out the sound of the piano to find out the soldiers lurking in the cloud country, which helped him a lot. He also wanted to see if there were any other things against the sky about this piano sound.
"No, you can't. Mo said coldly.
"Didn't you let those soldiers out on their own last time? Jun Wuwu said.
"That flat land needs to be empty, it is useful if there are no obstacles, and it is useless to put it here. Mo Tianxin's face turned cold: "Besides, that qin song is too expensive, do you think I will still cheapen you, a disciple?" Thinking of the last time, Mo Tianxin's stomach was on fire.
"If you can't forget it, why swear. Jun Wuwu touched his nose in embarrassment: "Order the team and rest in place." Send a few spies to check on them, and if they find any movement, they immediately withdraw from it. ā
"Marshal, don't you chase it?" said Elsie in surprise.
"I don't even know where the ambush is, I don't believe they can lie in the grass for a day without eating or drinking. They had been on the road all night last night, and they hadn't rested so far, and even the iron men had already lost a layer of skin. ā
Jun Wuwu calculated that except for a short rest, it would take ordinary soldiers to walk here for most of the day.
Seeing several spies coming in, Wang Junying's heart lifted.
If they are found by the other party, all their arrangements will become useless, and after being exposed, their situation will be even more dangerous.
Woohoo......
Several long arrows flew towards the grass where he was, and one stuck in the ground beside him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. Wang Junying was afraid, if they were discovered, I am afraid that their arrangement would be in vain.
After the palpitations, Wang Junying locked his eyes on the repeater crossbow in the hands of several soldiers. It was this new weapon, capable of firing bows and arrows continuously, that made them suffer a lot.
In the first few levels, they had never seen such a weapon at all. When they arrived at the end of the heavens, this kind of bow and arrow made them see the real horror.
If their army could be equipped with this kind of bow and arrow, they could conquer several other kingdoms next to it as quickly as possible.
Seeing several spies leaving, Wang Junying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the army of the Dragon Kingdom expectantly. This is a canyon, and the cavalry can't be used, so it doesn't have much effect. Only by entering their encirclement and rushing down with 50,000 soldiers could completely annihilate this pursuing cavalry.
Hearing the report of the spies, Jun Wuwu stared at the canyon. This canyon made him very uneasy, and his intuition told him that there must be an ambush inside, but the spies didn't find it: "The team rests in place, and will pursue it when the large army comes over tomorrow." ā
"Damn. Seeing that the army of the Dragon Kingdom was resting, Wang Junying scolded secretly. The other party was too careful, which gave him a little headache, and he saw that the fat was in front of him, but he couldn't bite it.
"General, many of the soldiers were hungry and tired, and fell asleep on the ground. One of the Commanders slowly crawled over and said.
"Let them rest. Wang Junying said unwillingly.
"General, the soldiers have not been in a drop of water for half a day, so they can't stay up, and before they come, we will collapse. The Commander licked his lips.
"Bear with me for one night, and tomorrow I'll be able to keep up with the big army. Wang Junying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.
"But...... Eh!" the Commander could only sigh and crawl away.
