Chapter 636: Ambush
"This canyon stretches for thousands of miles, the narrowest point is only a few tens of meters, and on both sides are full of peaks as high as thousands of zhang, and the mountains and forests are dense, which can hide countless armies, and there are a large number of bandits and robbers living in it, as well as some homeless people who can't survive!
At the same time, Donglai City and the three cities that still nominally belonged to the Zhao State were also built at the widest point of this canyon, forming a small urban agglomeration with tens of millions of people!
There is nothing to hide from the news that we came to Donglai City, Wang Xi, the city lord of Donglai City, should have gotten the news a long time ago, if the city lord of Donglai City does not want to openly turn against the empire, he must kill me before I arrive in Donglai City, otherwise after I arrive in Donglai City, he must hand over the position of the city lord of Donglai City and become my subordinate, which is definitely something that he is unwilling to accept!
Therefore, Wang Xi, the city lord of Donglai City, is likely to set up an ambush in a certain section of this canyon, ambush our Yang family army, annihilate our Yang family army in this canyon, and then blame a certain mountain bandit force in the canyon. ”
Yang Rui looked at the deep canyon that stretched in front of him and could not be seen at a glance, and said softly.
"Young master, I will send spies to explore the way ahead, if someone in front wants to ambush us, we will definitely find out in advance and prevent their conspiracy from succeeding!"
Hearing Yang Rui's words, Yang Kun said with a solemn look on his face.
After speaking, Yang Kun sent dozens of spy teams, rode black-scaled horses away from the big team, and took the lead in stepping into the canyon to check.
Yang Rui and his party slowly entered the canyon and walked straight in the direction of Donglai City.
The canyon is not a straight line, zigzag, more than a thousand miles long, Yang Rui and others are riding war horses, the speed is extremely fast, hundreds of miles a day, only two days, they have walked most of the distance, to the depths of the canyon, in front of a road that is only tens of meters wide.
"Young master, this is dozens of meters wide, more than thirty miles, and is surrounded by dense mountains and forests on both sides, which is the best ambush location, I have sent a large number of spies to enter the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road to check, if there is an ambush in this passage, we can definitely find it in advance!"
Yang Kun pointed to the abruptly narrowed passage in front of him, and said solemnly.
"The army will trim up, and after the spies come back and make sure that there is no ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides, we are on our way!"
Hearing Yang Kun's words, Yang Rui nodded lightly.
With Yang Rui's order, more than 100,000 troops stopped advancing and rested on the spot.
At this time, on both sides of the narrow mountain road, a man in leather armor and holding various weapons lined up on top of the big rocks, his eyes staring quietly at the narrow mountain road, ready to push down the prepared big stones at any time, causing great damage to the enemies in the mountain road.
At the same time, a steppe slave scout wearing steel armor and holding a steel scimitar swung his knife to cut off the vines blocking the way one by one, and climbed towards the mountains on both sides of the mountain road, wanting to climb to the top of the mountain to see if anyone was ambushed.
"City Lord, Yang Rui has sent thousands of spies, these spies are climbing the mountain, and they will soon find the traces of their brothers, what should we do now?"
Behind a big rock, a big man wearing silver armor and holding a silver long sword looked at a hardcover man with a strong physique, wearing golden armor and holding a golden big sword next to him, and asked with a solemn look on his face.
The big man in the silver battle armor, named Wang Xing, is a tenth-order warrior and the deputy city lord of Donglai City, and the big man in the golden battle armor is named Wang Xi, who is the city lord of Donglai City, and the first powerhouse in Donglai City, a tenth-order peak warrior.
"Now that our ambush has been discovered, let's go out directly and have a head-on battle with the Yang family's army!
As Wang Xi made a decision, the soldiers of Donglai City, who were ambushed in the mountains and forests, came out of their hiding places one after another, drew their bows like a full moon, and shot sharp arrows towards the spies who climbed up, making a crisp sound of metal collision, and fell to the ground weakly.
"There is a large army in ambush on the mountain, retreat immediately!"
"If there is an ambush, report it to the master immediately!"
"Retreat! Retreat!"
“、、、、”
In the face of the dense arrow attack, the grassland slaves who climbed the mountain shouted loudly, and quickly turned around and ran down the mountain.
"Kill them all, don't let them run!"
Seeing this scene, an officer named Donglaicheng shouted loudly, and encouraged the internal strength in his body, exerted light skills, turned into afterimages, and quickly approached the side of the grassland slave scout.
Soon, the officers of Donglai City caught up with a steppe slave soldier and engaged in a fierce confrontation with him.
Although the officers of Donglai City are strong, with the cultivation strength of sixth-order and even seventh-order warriors, the strength of the steppe slave scouts is not weak, and they also have the cultivation strength of sixth- and seventh-order warriors, and they are well-equipped.
At this time, a soldier named Donglai City arrived and began to besiege the grassland slave scouts, and finally the grassland slave soldiers were outnumbered and were ruthlessly killed by the officers of Donglai City.
However, the number of grassland slave scouts was as high as thousands, and although hundreds of people were killed, hundreds of them still fled to the mountain road, turned on their horses, and quickly galloped towards the place where Yang Rui's army was resting.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
In the midst of loud sirens, a grassland spy returned to the resting place of Yang Rui's army, and quickly transmitted the news of an ambush on both sides of the mountain forest to Yang Rui's hands.
After getting the news of the grassland slave scouts, the Yang family army and the grassland slave soldiers quickly assembled, set up a formation, and were ready to meet the army of Donglai City at any time.
At this time, the army of Donglai City came out of the narrow mountain road, let out a series of earth-shattering shouts of killing, waved the weapons in his hands, and charged straight in the direction where the army under Yang Rui was located.
"Tens of thousands of infantry, they dare to charge our Yang family's army, I really don't know how the word dead is written! The cavalry charged, and they were routed to me!"
Looking at the army of Donglai City that was approaching quickly, a look of disdain flashed in Yang Rui's eyes, and he waved his big hand, and ordered loudly in a flat tone.
Immediately afterwards, I saw 30,000 grassland slave soldiers shouting excitedly, opening their eyes wide, waving the scimitar in their hands, urging the war horses under them, and charging towards the tens of thousands of troops in Donglai City.
"Lord of the City, we only have 60,000 infantry in Donglai City, but the other party has more than 100,000 cavalry, aren't we sending us to death by charging over like this?"
Looking at the grassland slave soldiers and the army of Donglai City who were about to collide together, Wang Xing, the deputy city lord of Donglai City in the rear, asked Wang Xi, the city lord of Donglai City, with a puzzled expression.
"Although our army in Donglai City is all infantry, every one of them has seen blood and is not afraid of death, how can it be compared to those private soldiers of the Yang family who have never seen blood! Although you look good, soon, the Yang family's private army will be defeated because of heavy casualties!" Wang Xi said with a smile on his face.
Although Donglai City is located in the canyon of Donglai Mountain, the army of Donglai City often haunts the Donglai Peninsula, and many pirates on the Donglai Peninsula have launched a tragic battle, every soldier has killed people, has seen blood, very brave, is not at all a soldier who has not seen blood can be compared!
These elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles are the confidence of Wang Xi, the city lord of Donglai City.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When the 30,000 grassland slave soldiers were still more than 200 meters away from the soldiers of Donglai City, a crisp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, and a famous grassland slave soldier picked up the hand * crossbow hanging on the war horse, aimed at the direction of the Donglai City army and pulled the trigger, and one by one sharp arrows poured towards the body of the Donglai City soldiers like a torrential rain.
In a moment's effort, more than 100,000 crossbow arrows slashed through the void like lightning, and all of them fell on the body of the Donglai City army, easily piercing the body of a famous Donglai City soldier, causing blood to splash and die on the spot.
"How is this possible!How can Yang Jiajun have so many crossbow arrows!"
Seeing that his army was killed by the dense rain of arrows in an instant, Wang Xi, the city lord of Donglai City in the rear, changed his face greatly, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim loudly, he couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
You must know that weapons and equipment on the Donglai Peninsula are very expensive, a repeater is worth dozens of gold coins, and the number is extremely rare, and only a small number of troops can be equipped.
The grassland slave soldiers in front of him actually had a repeating crossbow each, and instantly shot more than 100,000 steel arrows, and carried out a wave of arrow rain covering the soldiers of Donglai City, how could this not make Donglai City Wang Xi shocked!
Kill, kill, kill!
When Wang Xi was shocked, tens of thousands of soldiers in Donglai City let out angry shouts of killing, stepped on the corpses of their companions, waved the weapons in their hands, and continued to charge straight in the direction of the grassland slaves, not at all frightened by the death of their companions, but because of the death of their companions, they aroused the roar and killing intent in their hearts.
Kill, kill, kill!
In the face of the charge of tens of thousands of soldiers in Donglai City, the 30,000 grassland slave soldiers also let out loud shouts of killing, put down the crossbow, drew the scimitar on their waists, and went straight to meet the soldiers of Donglai City.
Bang! Bang!
In the crisp sound of metal collision, 30,000 grassland slave soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers from Donglai City collided together, and the grassland slave soldiers who charged in front, the war horse under them with a terrifying impact force, instantly knocked a soldier named Donglai City away, and the scimitar in his hand swung out, killing a nearby soldier of Donglai City.
It's just that the mountain road is only dozens of meters wide, and the 30,000 grassland slaves can't be deployed, and after rushing out of a distance and killing some of the soldiers of Donglai City, the momentum of the charge is weakened, and finally they can only ride on war horses and start hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of Donglai City.
However, the 30,000 grassland slave soldiers were well-equipped and not afraid of death, and when they fought with the soldiers of Donglai City, they were not weaker than the inferior at all, and even had the upper hand at the beginning, pressing the soldiers of Donglai City.
"How is this possible!How can the Yang family's army be so elite, so fierce and not afraid of death, they don't want to see blood at all!"
Seeing that his army was pressed and beaten by 30,000 grassland slave soldiers, Wang Xi, the city lord of Donglai City in the rear, flashed a shocked and incredible look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim softly, and an ominous feeling began to envelop his heart.
"City Lord, if we continue like this, we will definitely be defeated! It is better for us to take the elite of our Donglai City, cross the battlefield, and go straight to the place where Yang Rui is, as long as Yang Rui, the leader of the Yang family army, is killed, these Yang family troops will automatically collapse, there is nothing to fear!"
Hearing Wang Xi's exclamation, Wang Xing on the side showed that his heart tightened, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he suggested softly.
Hearing Wang Xing's suggestion, Wang Xi's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, let's take the elite and kill Yang Rui, the leader of the Yang family's army!"
After speaking, Wang Xi took Wang Xing and more than 100 elites of Donglai City into the mountains and forests on the side of the mountain road, preparing to pass through the mountains and forests, cross the battlefield, and implement beheading tactics on Yang Rui.
