Chapter 149: Front-and-back strikes

After the arrival of the Red Army's brigade, the people were dumbfounded, the valley was empty, where was the shadow of the Jin Army?

Xiahou Ji and Zhao Chen and other generals rode war horses, and deliberately walked to the depths of the valley, at this time, the sky was already bright, everything in the valley was clearly visible, the two sides of the circular valley were dense forests, and there was a mountain wall in front of them, there was no way out, of course, there was not a single soldier of the Jin army inside.

"Huh, why is there no one?, could it be that the Jin army has wings on his back and can't fly away?" Zhao Chen's face was full of puzzlement, and he muttered suspiciously.

Xia Houji's heart suddenly moved, and then, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "It's not good! We have been tricked!" As he spoke, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! Exit the valley!"

"General, what's wrong......"

Before a red general could react, he approached Xiahouji and asked blankly.

Xiahouji's facial features were distorted, his face turned red, he grabbed the red general's neckline, went back, and shouted: "You quickly go and inform General Xuanyuan, this is a trap set by the Jin army, you must not come in......" The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, zuihou, his mouth was open, he couldn't spit out a word, and his eyes opened subconsciously.

I saw that at the entrance of the valley, Xuanyuan Fang's handsome flag had come in slowly, where was the handsome flag, where was the boss, since Xuanyuan Fang had come in, then the 50,000 rear army must have also entered the valley.

Xia Houji felt that his head was buzzing, and he froze in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

But at this moment, I heard a loud rumbling sound at the pass outside, so loud that it was earth-shattering and deafening, and the whole valley was shaken. Many of the Red soldiers were unable to stand and fell to the ground, and their horses were also frightened and roared.

People haven't reacted to what is going on, second, third, fourth...... Loud noises followed.

suffered, it was really a plan!

Xia Houji reacted from the shock and stabilized the frightened war horse. Then he galloped in the direction of Makou Pass.

Before the others reached the pass, they saw a large number of their own soldiers crying and running towards them, Xia Houji lowered his body, grabbed a soldier, and asked loudly: "What's going on outside?"

The soldier knew Xiahou Ji, and said in a trembling voice: "General Xiahou, the big thing is not good, many boulders suddenly fell on both sides of the cliff, blocking the exit of Makou Pass. Many of our brothers were stoned to death!"

"What?"

Now Xiahou Ji completely understands the tactics of the Jin army, the Jin army wants to trap his 150,000 troops alive in this death valley where there is only an entry and no way out!

But Xia Houji realized at this time that it was too late to be fooled, and he saw that in the dense forest on both sides, a raging fire suddenly ignited, which was the fire oil and other things that Jin Junjun poured first.

Under the raging flames, let alone rushing out, as long as people get a little closer to the dense forest, they have to be burned there on the spot.

However. The nightmare of the Red Army is much more than that!

Before they could react, they saw the mountain wall in front of them. Countless boulders fell from both sides of the canyon like snowflakes, smashing the ground and shaking the mountains, dusty, and not long, and a pile of two or three meters high accumulated in the middle of the spacious canyon, blocking the only exit from the valley.

The rockfall has just come to an end. The mountain wall shouted and killed, hundreds of Jin army banners were erected, and the dense Jin soldiers stood all over the mountain, and at the same time, countless Jin troops also poured out of the canyon. People quickly climbed the stone pile, propped up their shields, and posed as jiashi to resist the breakthrough of the Red Army.

Xiahouji was the first in the Red Army to order to rush out of the valley, but his order was still a step late, when the Red Army was about to pass through the canyon, it was already impossible to get out, piled up a high stone pile to block their way, and the Jin army occupying it condescendingly released arrows, and behind the stone pile, there were many Jin troops arranging stone throwers, ready to attack the Red Army breaking through the stone pile.

Xia Houji knew very well that now was the only chance to break out, if he couldn't rush out now, and when the Jin army arranged everything properly, then it would be difficult for him to fly, so he gave a death order to the soldiers below like crazy, no matter what, he would attack the stone pile and rush out.

Under the command of Xiahouji, the Red soldiers launched a charge.

The stone pile is not high, only more than two meters, but there are a lot of Jin troops gathered above, and what is more terrible is that the mountain wall above the canyon is standing on the Jin country ambush soldiers, here the strange rocks are craggy, the trees are everywhere, the stones, wooden stakes and other things seem to be inexhaustible, and they are continuously thrown down from the mountain.

Heavy objects are smashed from such a high mountain, even a fist-sized stone can kill people, not to mention that the stones thrown down are the size of a basin, once they are smashed on the body, people can be smashed and deformed, and even the branches of the tree have no time to clean up the stump is more powerful, and after falling, it often affects a large number of people, as well as the raindrop-like dense arrows, all of which cause huge damage to the Red Army.

Before the Red soldiers rushed to the front of the stone pile, they had been stoned to death, shot and wounded, and most of them were shot and wounded, and the rest of the people were shot and killed by the Jin army above before they could climb up the stone pile.

The attack of the Jin army was too fierce, watching the soldiers who charged in front of them die, wounded, corpses all over the ground, crying and shouting, and the red army behind was pale with fright, retreating again and again, afraid to move forward.

Xia Houji desperately went into battle to supervise the battle, and after slashing and killing several cowardly soldiers in a row, he finally organized a second wave of breakthrough battles.

As a result, this wave of the Red Army was not as good as the previous wave, and only rushed to half the distance, and was smashed back by the stones, wooden stakes, and arrows falling from the mountains on both sides.

The longer the delay, the more perfect the arrangement of the Jin army, the more fierce the attack, and the greater the difficulty of breaking through. Xia Houji understands this truth very well, but he can't do it in a hurry, and the morale of the soldiers is completely crushed by the Jin army on the mountain, even if he drives the ducks to the shelves and forces them to charge, he will turn back three times in one step, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he will immediately run back, how can he break through successfully?

The Red Army only launched two rounds of breakthroughs, but in the work of this meeting, the dead and wounded in the canyon have been countless, and when you look up, the spacious canyon is full of rubble, tree stumps, and the corpses of the Red Army under the black pressure are pressed on a layer of black pressure, and there are more people killed by arrows, the corpses are all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river, which is unbearable to see.

At this time, Xiahou Ji's glimmer of hope was also shattered, and he no longer urged the soldiers below to continue to break through, riding war horses, and retreating into the valley like a walking corpse.

As soon as he returned, Xuanyuan Fang and the generals of the Red Army greeted him, and people asked in a gossiping voice: "General Xiahou, what is the current situation? Can our army break through the encirclement?"

Xiahouji looked around at everyone, lamenting in his heart, he shook his head slowly, and then said to Xuanyuan Fang: "General, the Jin army occupies the mountain, condescending, and has a large number of rolling logs and stones, our army ...... Difficult to break through. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the generals changed greatly, and Xuanyuan Fang also gasped, stunned in place, and couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

After a long time, Xuanyuan Fang raised the whip violently and lashed at Xia Houji, which was whipped on the latter's face, and there was an extra blood mark on his cheek.

Xuanyuan Fang shouted sharply: "Xiahouji, this is a good path you led me!"

The whiplash was scorching pain, but at this time, Xia Houji couldn't feel it, and his whole body was numb.

Xiahouji slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The last general did not investigate the Jin army's ambush here, causing the whole army to be trapped, and he is willing to be punished, but the general must quickly think of a way to break through, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be more difficult for our army to break through!"

Xuanyuan Fang looked at Xiahou Ji and gritted his teeth angrily, eager to slash him with a sword, but now was not the time to kill his own general, he glared at Xiahou Ji fiercely, and urged the horse to cross him and walk towards the canyon.

When he arrived near the canyon, Xuanyuan Fang raised his eyes and took a look, and suddenly his heart was half cold, only to see that on the mountains on both sides of the canyon, there were many golden flags, and there were countless Jin troops shuttling back and forth, obviously carrying rolling logs, rocks and other things.

Looking ahead, a pile of rocks more than two meters high is blocked in the middle of the canyon, and the Jin army on the black pressure side is gathered on it, and the Jin army is building fortifications on the stone pile with local materials.

Turning his gaze to the sides, the fire in the dense forest was getting fiercer, and the billowing smoke was already filling the sky over Death Valley.

Looking down at the ground again, there were corpses of his own soldiers, some of whom had been stoned to death, some of whom had been shot to death, and the corpses were piled up in the canyon, like a hell on earth.

The dense forests on both sides were sealed by fire, and there were rocks blocking the front, so how could this make his own side rush out and kill? Looking at it, Xuanyuan Fang's cold sweat flowed down the corners of his forehead, Xia Houji was leading the wrong way, but he was right, he couldn't delay, and if he dragged it on, when the Jin army finished building fortifications on the stone pile, his own side would not be able to rush out.

After thinking about it, Xuanyuan Fang retreated into the valley, gathered the whole army, lined up the phalanx, and prepared to launch a round of all-army rushing.

Victory or defeat in this move, Xuanyuan Fang intends to be a desperate Zuihou Yibo. (To be continued......)
