Chapter 14: Arrows Raining Down
Li Guo galloped on his horse, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he was embarrassed today.
Not to mention the loss of nearly 2,000 cavalry in an ambush, he was so frightened by the scarecrow that he did not dare to advance.
Such a great shame must be washed away with the blood of a dog officer!
Ten miles of land passed in an instant, and Li Guo saw a large number of people in the valley in front of him from a distance, as if they were preparing to hide.
"Damn, I was a fool!" Li Guo was furious.
Tian Wenxiu was originally quite calm, but when he saw that the Ming army was preparing to repeat his old tricks, he was immediately full of anger.
Fortunately, they came quickly, and the Ming army hadn't hid yet, otherwise, when they saw this valley, they would inevitably stop and observe carefully, wasting time needlessly.
Li Guo decided that this group of Ming troops was delaying his footsteps, and decided to take advantage of the fact that they had not yet finished arranging and annihilating them in one go.
"The whole army obeys the order, attacks at full speed, and leaves no room alive." Li Guo shouted.
The order went down layer by layer.
The soldiers who received the order tightened their grip on the reins, whipped their horses, and shouted away.
The manager was almost ambushed, and they were equally disgraced.
In the past few months, all the Ming officials and troops they have seen have been looking down on the wind, which has long made them empty-eyed.
Today, I met the Ming army who dared to resist, and it immediately aroused their competitive spirit, and they were bound to kill a river of blood, so that the Ming army in front of them understood the strength of their army!
Ni Yuanlu pulled Gao Di to stand on the top of the valley early, and when he saw the intrusive army coming, he took out a gong from his horse.
Gaudi couldn't help but laugh as he watched his strange movements.
Can gongs kill enemies?
Ni Yuanlu stared at the intrusive army in the distance, silently calculating the distance in his heart.
Suddenly, Ni Yuanlu struck the gong violently, and the sound of the gong instantly spread throughout the valley.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of gongs was also heard in many places in the valley, one after another.
Gao first heard it, stretched his neck to look for the sound, there was an ambush here? When was it lurking? He didn't even know it.
Before he had time to think about it, there were countless sounds of breaking the air from the mountainside.
Gao Di was even more shocked, he saw countless black lines flying out of the gaps in the mountains and forests, towards the intruding army.
"This ......" Gao Di stretched out his stiff hand and stared at Ni Yuanlu in surprise.
"Don't ask, let's watch the play first." Ni Yuanlu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Although Gao Di couldn't see clearly, he could hear that those small black lines were sharp arrows. It's just that he doesn't understand, the thief is still so far away, is it useful to shoot it now?
At the same time, Li Guo also saw the dense black dots in the sky in front of him, and listening to the sound, he also recognized that it was a bow and arrow.
But so dense, so numerous, it's hard to imagine how many people are firing in a salvo.
But at such a distance, he didn't worry about his own people getting hurt at all.
The soldiers had the same idea, and no one stopped, still running.
But after a few breaths, they regretted it.
The sharp arrows in the sky flew swiftly from a great distance as if they had been pierced with wings, and fell into the cavalry formation like rain.
In an instant, countless cavalrymen fell from their horses with arrows, and countless horses fell to the ground with arrows, and then they were trampled into pulp by their comrades behind.
Li Guo was shocked, but it was too late to retreat.
This is 18,000 people galloping on horseback, and it is impossible to stop quickly.
He thought that the rain of arrows would be over after one or two showers, but who would have thought that this sharp arrow would be as continuous as the next rain.
Gao Di, who was standing on the mountainside and watching the battle, opened his mouth even wider.
This arrow actually shot at least 500 steps, because of the tailwind, many even shot more than 600 steps, and the killing area was too wide.
And the strength is very great, once the thief soldier is hit by an arrow, he will definitely fall off the horse, and the arrow is really not missing.
What surprised Gao Di even more was that in just this short moment, about 20,000 or 30,000 sharp arrows on the mountainside shot into the enemy's formation.
How many good archers are hidden!
"This ......," said Gaudi, pointing down the hill again, stammering.
Ni Yuanlu's face was full of mystery, "This is the newly trained Flying Dragon Army of the Holy Shang, how about it, the combat power is okay!" ”
Improvised? Just kidding! Even if you gather Jianlu and all the strong men in Mongolia, you can't find an archer who can shoot 150 steps. Not to mention the Han soldiers.
"Master Ni, do you call this improvisation?" Gaudí was unbelievable.
"It's not over yet, keep watching." Ni Yuanlu pretended to be mysterious.
Godi's eyes widened when he heard this, staring ahead without blinking.
Li Guo looked at his comrades-in-arms who kept falling off the horse, and was heartbroken, but he still desperately urged the horse to gallop.
Now it's all about speed, and he must rush up the hill and kill those executioners.
Gao Di saw that nearly 20,000 thieves had broken most of them in front of the valley, but the speed of the horses did not decrease, and he was about to approach the valley with the intention of becoming more and more courageous.
Looking at the situation, there was no possibility for him to surrender to Li Zicheng, so he immediately ordered the whole army to charge.
One is to try to annihilate the enemy army, and the other is to protect the Wyvern army on the mountain.
Li Guo at the bottom of the mountain saw that the bow and arrows were gradually stopping, and he was overjoyed, and turned around and shouted, "Go up the mountain!" Fight the enemy! ”
It's okay not to look back, but when I look back, I can't help but be shocked that my 20,000 army, followed by less than 10,000 people.
is even more missing Tian Wenxiu, and I hate it in my heart!
Li Guo gritted his silver teeth, pulled out his steel knife, and rushed up the hillside with a roar.
The other soldiers of the Chuang army also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts when they saw that the Ming army was only a hundred steps away from them, so they whipped their horses and accelerated forward.
Li Guo brandished a steel knife and slashed the Ming soldiers in front of him who were already stupid.
The knife rose and fell, Li Guo was puzzled, and kept waving the steel knife.
After killing three people in a row, Li Guo stopped his horse and looked at the motionless Ming army around him in disbelief.
"Oh no, it's a trick again, these are scarecrows!"
The other sergeants also noticed the anomaly, and all of them looked terrified.
Could it be that the generals of the Ming army could not comprehend the evil law, just now it was clear that tens of thousands of people were shooting arrows with bows again, how could they all become straw men now?
Bell, bell, bell
The gong sounded again.
On the higher mountainside, more than 100 large wooden chests were erected, and nearly a thousand soldiers poured out from behind, all wearing leather armor and holding crossbow-like objects.
Aimed at the intruder on the hillside.
When Li Guo saw the living person, he immediately surged with endless hatred, shouted to kill the enemy, and rushed forward.
The Ming army on the mountainside was not in a hurry, raised the Chongzhen five-arrow crossbow, 1,000 flying dragon troops pulled the mechanism at the same time, and 5,000 crossbow arrows flew down together.
The remaining 7,000 thieves suddenly flipped on their backs, and nearly 2,000 were shot dead at that time.
Li Guo saw that a wave of crossbow arrows had been fired, and knew that the opportunity had come, and was ready to rush forward in one go while the Ming army was installing new arrows.
However, the Ming army on the mountainside took the arrow clip from the back, and the change of clothes was completed in the blink of an eye.
Clusters of clusters......
Another wave of fire, 5,000 crossbow bolts poured down.
The invading army lost nearly 2,000 men.
The army was shocked, this is not something that manpower can do at all, and everyone thought that when they encountered the Ming army that knew evil arts, they suddenly lost their fighting spirit.
Suddenly, the sound of rolling horses' hooves came from the east.
When Li Guo heard the prestige, he saw the 30,000 cavalry who had fought before rushing towards him.
Li Guo's face was like ashes, knowing that he would die if he stayed, he greeted his brother and rushed down the mountain in a hurry.
At this time, the Wyvern Army on the mountainside had already finished changing the third arrow clip and pulled the mechanism for the third time.
But the thieves had already retreated, and this round killed less than a thousand people.
Hearing that people kept falling off the horse behind him, Li didn't have time to check.
He didn't care about the heroic image he had built up with great difficulty, and just galloped wildly.
What could be better than life in the world!
