Chapter 174: The Valley is Attacked

Seeing this, Gu Liangyun, the deputy general, rode his horse forward, smiled, and said: "General Ling, since your lord has an order, order you and me to take Liaodong as soon as possible, and our army will march quickly!"

Gu Liangyun was a demon martial artist who defected to Lin Haotian in Shuangfeng City in the early days, and along with him, there were also Shao Lin, Tong Lei, Jiang Shi and others, since Lin Haotian received the four people, he had been arranging them to serve as deputy generals under Ling Wuya.

Ling Wuya glanced at Gu Liangyun, shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he called the spies accompanying the army and asked, "Have you explored the path ahead?"

When the spy heard this, he shook his head like a rattle, and said, "It has not yet been discovered." ”

Ling Wuya frowned and said, "If Ben Jiang hadn't been mistaken, I would have already explained this matter to you. ”

The spy nodded and replied: "The general has indeed explained, but now that the sky is foggy, it is extremely difficult to detect, please forgive the general." ”

"Oh?" Ling Wuya was slightly stunned, then stood up, walked out of the big tent, and took a look outside, isn't it, there is fog outside, and there is only a distance of about three zhang as far as the eye can see, and if you look at it from a distance, you can't see anything clearly.

Liaodong region is warm and rainy, the temperature difference is not big throughout the year, the road is rarely muddy, it rains almost every day, fog is a common thing, and there is no regularity, sometimes it is foggy in the early morning, sometimes it will be at noon or afternoon.

After seeing this, Ling Wuya shook his head, sighed helplessly, and returned to the big tent.

Gu Liangyun and the other generals were all looking at him with blank eyes, waiting for him to give the order to march into the army.

Ling Wuya held back for a long time, and Fang said softly: "There is a heavy fog in the sky, which is not suitable for marching." ”

Hearing this, all the generals were discouraged. Gu Liangyun couldn't hold his breath and said loudly: "General Ling, since I left Shangpu County, it has been foggy almost every day, could it be that once there is fog, the general will not be able to march the army? Then when will we have to wait until we can reach Liaodong?"

This was exactly what made Ling Wuya embarrassed, and he lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Then he slapped it on the table, looked around at the generals, and said: "Pass my generals, the whole army will set up camp and march to Liaodong!"

"Yes! General!"

The generals were in great spirits, and they all intervened in the order, turned around and walked out of the big tent together, and the soldiers of each headquarters began to pack up and prepare for the march.

It was very difficult to march on a foggy day. It was dark, torches needed to be lit, and visibility was so poor that if a soldier walked a little slower, he might not be able to see the person in front of him.

Marching in this kind of weather is also the most likely to fall behind on a large scale.

By the time the army marched forward, Ling Wuya's heart had already risen to his throat, but Gu Liangyun was extremely excited. While walking forward, he said to Shao Lin, Tong Lei, Jiang Shi and others who were riding horses beside him: "When you get to Liaodong, I will take the lead." Don't rob any of you from me!"

The three of them nodded in unison and said with a smile: "I'll wait for General Gu to suppress the formation." ”

"Haha-" Gu Liangyun looked on his back.

After marching forward for about ten miles, the army came to a depression, where the terrain was high on both sides and low in the middle, and the official road was located in the middle.

Because of the low terrain. Every time it rains, the rain collects on the road, and even on a sunny day, the road surface is extremely muddy, and you can hardly see the surface of your feet when you step on it.

Let's go here. Ling Wuya gasped, he turned his horse's head and walked quickly towards the side of the road.

Gu Liangyun, Shao Lin, Tong Lei, Jiang Shi and the others didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly followed.

On both sides of the official road were gentle slopes of the sloping Xiangshang, Ling Wuya urged the horse Xiangshang to walk for a while, and then looked forward again, holding the reins, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

Seeing his worried appearance, Gu Liangyun asked, "General Ling, what's wrong?"

Ling Wuya looked around at everyone with a solemn face, and said: "You see, the official road here is high on both sides and low in the center, once there are enemy troops in ambush on both sides and rush down from the heights, my army may be difficult to resist. ”

The condescending rush to kill is naturally twice the result with half the effort, not to mention that there is still a fog as a cover, which is what worries Ling Wuya the most.

Gu Liangyun smiled nonchalantly and said, "General Ling, you are too worried, now that it is foggy in the sky, our army will not be able to find the enemy, and the enemy will definitely not be able to find our army, how can it be possible to suddenly set up an ambush on the side of the road?"

His words are not unreasonable, but Ling Wuya's heart is still up and down, it is difficult to settle down, the Liaodong region is almost a flat river, all plains, there are few places that can be ambushed, if it is in peacetime, this place cannot be ambushed, but now that there is a foggy day as a cover, whether the enemy army will take the opportunity to ambush here, Ling Wuya has no bottom in his heart.

He led his generals down the gentle slope, returned to the army, and then gave the order to go down, and the whole army marched forward quickly, and left the place as quickly as possible.

The army of 100,000 people carried a lot of equipment and materials, and the roads were muddy, so the Jin army could not advance as fast as it wanted.

Just when the front army of the Jin army had already marched out of this depression, suddenly, a great chaos on the side of the rear army could be heard, and immediately after, shouts of killing broke out everywhere, shouting for the sky.

Ling Wuya, who was in the Chinese army, didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly asked people to find out what was going on in the rear army.

Not long after he sent out the spies, a Jin sergeant rode over on horseback, and finally found Ling Wuya's location from the fog, he urged the horse to rush to the front, turned over and dismounted, and shouted urgently: "General, the big thing is not good, the rear army is attacked by the enemy!"

"What?" Hearing this, all the generals of the Jin army led by Ling Wuya were all taken aback, and before Ling Wuya could speak, Gu Liangyun let out a strange scream, picked up the weapon in his hand, and said, "General Ling, I'm going to meet the enemy!" After speaking, he strode towards the rear.

Afraid that Gu Liangyun would lose the battle alone, Shao Lin and other generals also quickly followed.

At this time, the rear army of the Jin army was already in chaos. It was really guessed correctly by Ling Wuya, there were really wooden soldiers in this low-lying area to set up an ambush, but there were not many people in ambush, around 3,000 people, of course, this bit of manpower could not stop the edge of the 100,000 Jin army, the wooden army deliberately let the front army and the middle army of the Jin army pass, and when the rear army was about to pass by the ambush site, the wooden army launched a surprise attack.

They used rattan to weave dozens of giant balls in advance, each with a diameter of two zhang away, and it was smeared with fire oil and pine oil, sticky fire is ignited, before launching a sneak attack, they first ignited the dozens of rattan woven giant balls, pushed down the gentle slope, the giant ball burning with raging flames rolled down from the top of the gentle slope, the speed is rolling faster and faster, due to the fog blocking the vision, Jin Jun just heard a strange buzzing sound on both sides, and did not see clearly what was approaching, and when people saw clearly that dozens of huge fireballs rolled over with billowing smoke, it was too late to dodge。

The fireball rolled into the camp of the Jin army, causing a scream, many Jin soldiers who could not avoid it were hit by the fireball, and the clothes and leather armor on their bodies immediately caught fire, even if they were not killed or crushed to death by the fireball, they were burned alive by the raging fire.

This was the prelude to the sneak attack of the Mu Guo ambush soldiers, and then, dense rockets fell from the sky, and the Jin soldiers, who were not affected by the fireball, just planned to line up in battle formation to deal with the enemy in the fog, but before the formation could stand, a row of people on the outside were shot into hedgehogs by rockets and died.

The arrows of the wooden army were round after round, as if they would never stop, and the ill-prepared Jin army was also shot into row after row, and people looked around dizzily, often being knocked to the ground by rockets before they could find the enemy. What's worse is that the Jin army's supplies were also affected by rockets, and several stone throwers and city-breaking crossbows caught fire with arrows, and they burned more and more.

The Jin soldiers were completely blinded by the sudden attack, and the army was not in a column, and fled in defeat on both sides like a plate of scattered sand.

At this time, the 3,000 wood army ambushed in the high ground finally rushed down, and the condescending charge, its momentum was like a thunderbolt, and many Jin troops who did not flee and stayed to resist the enemy were directly knocked to the ground by the Ning soldiers who rushed down, and never stood up again.

The Jin army, which was originally very good at close combat and had an absolute advantage in numbers, was almost powerless to fight back by the 3,000 wooden army in this area, some fled forward, some ran backwards, and some people were desperately resisting the wooden soldiers, the entire camp lost its unified command, and the soldiers below fought separately and were in chaos.
