Chapter 596: Backstabbing
Wu Gan's knife was trembling slightly, not timid, not tired, not afraid, but irrepressible excitement.
The Flying Tiger Army had already entered this huge bottle-shaped trap, and there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Shui Congyue had led the team to kill it, and was blocking the position of the bottle.
This land of flowers and purple and red, with fragrant grass and trees surrounded on three sides by wide swamps. In order to form this swamp, Wu Gen used all the people who could perform spells in the Ba family. Of course, there is a hidden passage in the swamp, which can allow Wu Gan's men and horses to rush out, and lure the enemy not to cut off his own way.
Wu Gen led his men along the passage to the swamp to the north, and the Flying Tiger Army followed closely. It seemed to them that although they could faintly see someone snooping in the distance, no one in the province could catch up with them at such a distance, except for the disgusting birds overhead and the mastiff wolves that had been cut down to death.
The mud-stained horses' hooves trampled on the flowers, the ground was slightly undulating, and muddy water seeped out from the roots of the grass and between the petals, and gradually climbed up the hooves of the horses nailed to the iron palms.
Wu Yan looked behind him as he ran, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly. It was expected that the cavalry would sink into the swamp, but their famous secret technique held the heavy body of the horse, and did not sink into the mud, but only a little slower.
Not only him, but all the northern troops were dumbfounded, how could this encircle and annihilate the opponent. After tossing such a big formation hard, people don't take it seriously, isn't it a big joke.
Soon, Wu Gen led people to rush out of the swamp belt more than 100 zhang wide in front of him, and hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around, preparing to intercept the opponent. Regardless of whether the trap is useful or not, since people are coming, the battle must be fought.
"Shoot the arrows." Seeing that Wu Jian ran out of the swamp, Xue Xin hurriedly ordered that the men and horses on the north and south sides began to intercept these Flying Tiger Army with arrows.
Today they did not ride horses, and each of them had a wide clog on his feet, which was according to the path given by the Ba family, in order not to fall into it when fighting in the swamp, but at this time it became a burden to his own family, and it was extremely uncomfortable to run.
Soon, the Flying Tiger Army, which was running along the passage behind Wu Qian, was stopped by Xue Xin's men and horses, which the Northern Army was not afraid of, after all, most of the Flying Tiger Army was still running in the swamp.
Looking at the Flying Tiger Army coming from the mud, the northern sergeant had to take out his spear and prepare to meet the impact of the other party. Especially in the Ba family, which is located on the west side, many people have begun to commotion. The Ba family's field battle is not strong, which can be said to be known to the whole province, so these Flying Tiger troops rushed forward without scruples.
Finally, when the Flying Tigers at the forefront were about to rush to the edge of the swamp, the water splashed under their hooves, and their speed slowed down significantly.
"Up." Xue Xin raised the knife in his hand, and his subordinates put their spears on their shields, and the sharp spear head was aimed at the Flying Tiger Army.
Grunting, large blisters appeared on the ground, and the Flying Tigers, who were at the forefront, found that their horses' hooves were sinking into the water.
At the beginning, they also noticed that there was something wrong with the ground, but they didn't pay attention to it when they saw that it didn't affect them much. As long as you can rush in front of the opposing Northern army, you can use the momentum of the horses to crush these foot soldiers who don't even have horses on the opposite side.
Finally, when the speed dropped to a certain level, the Flying Tigers could not fly, and the weight of the men and horses pressed against the weak ground, crushing the thin layer of soil on the surface.
The first people slow down, and the people behind become slower to prevent collisions. As a result, the Flying Tigers whipped their mounts in terror, and the horses under them were slowly sinking into the muddy water. The muddy water spread upwards like life, and soon the horse's small legs were covered by it.
I can't run anymore.
The Flying Tiger Army and the Northern Sergeant who was close at hand stared at each other, and both sides looked incredulous.
"Kill." Wu Gan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and took out the Sky Shaking Bow and shot angrily at these Flying Tiger Soldiers who were trudging through the muddy water. Isn't this kind of live target a trophy to be sent?
For a while, all the Northern Army and Ba Clan's horses were constantly in control, and countless arrows were shooting towards the slow-moving Flying Tiger Army in the trap.
Qiu Linhe finally panicked, the hateful mastiff boy had already run away, but his own men were stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate themselves. Looking at the people and horses of the Ba family in the distance, he finally was
Understood what is underground.
After being trampled by the Flying Tiger Army, the swamp finally unloaded its beautiful appearance, revealing its dirty and turbid body. This huge swamp appeared like a leper on the beautiful grassland.
Looking around, most of the centaurs had not entered the swamp, and those who had just entered the swamp were slowly retreating.
Nowadays, only the direction from which they came is a safe place, as long as they rush out, these people who don't even have horses can only be shot to death one by one by the Flying Tiger Army like rabbits.
"Let's go." Qiu Linhe had calmed down at this time, glanced at Niu Chao in the distance, turned around and ran towards the place he came from.
A team of centaurs appeared in front, and the leader was the Shui Congyue who made the Flying Tiger Army frightened and fled when he saw it.
Qiu Linhe gritted his teeth and took the lead in rushing towards the other party, but the direction was slightly staggered from the water from the moon.
"Death." The white horse on the opposite side moved, and the halberd was raised high, like a flag, and the Northern Sergeant slammed into the Flying Tiger Army on the opposite side.
In just one face, nearly 1,000 people from both sides were dismissed. The horses collided with each other, and the whole wilderness was filled with the screeching sound of swords clashing, the earth-shattering sound was mixed with the sound of miserable howls, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Shui Congyue wielded a halberd, staring closely at the back of the hill crane, rushing to and fro among the heavy armored cavalry like iron shields.
The long halberd in the hand is like lightning churning and like a dragon in the abyss, the cold light is everywhere, dazzling, the longitudinal iron armor is like a mountain, and it can also open the mountain and crack the stone, no one can stop it.
Qiu Linhe fled in a hurry, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and the powerful killing intent behind him was like ten thousand flying needles falling on his back, making him worry that he would die in the next moment.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. The name Shui Congyue has become a nightmare for the Flying Tiger Army. His own town was still dead at the hands of his people, and facing it so closely, many soldiers scattered to avoid him, for fear of confronting him.
Seeing that the water was worrying from the direction of the moon, Wu Yan took the lead and put on a clog and rushed into the swamp. The Flying Tiger sergeants, who were on the only solid ground in the trap, saw that they could not break through the swamp, and had already turned their horses' heads, ready to keep up with their young master's pace, and rushed out through the only entrance where there was no swamp.
There are also some relatively intelligent Flying Tiger soldiers, who are rushing towards the outside of the swamp along the passage that has been revealed, through the gap in the line of the Northern Army.
This situation and this scene made Niu Chao unbearable. He led the remnants of more than twenty mastiffs to intercept the scattered Flying Tiger soldiers.
These people all have spiritual jade on their bodies, and their bright wings are more precious than gold, which makes Niu Chao, who is greedy for money, how can he endure it.
Pulling out the knife from a flying tiger army who was pounced on by a mastiff, Niu Chao was still angry, stabbed a few more times, and laboriously pulled the Lingyu out of the other party's wings, with a look of indignation, "Taking people's money is like killing your parents, you are one by one, why do you want to kill my father and mother over and over again."
In this way, Niu Chao took his subordinates and constantly attacked the lone Flying Tiger soldiers, enriching his deflated money bag.
Wu Yan dragged a Flying Tiger Army off his horse and stabbed him in the throat. The reason for rushing into the swamp in a hurry was to prevent all these people from rushing in the direction of the entrance to the swamp. Shui Congyue is brave, but after all, it is a person, if these people are all rolled upside down, the mouth of the bottle will be opened, and the idea of gathering and destroying the Flying Tiger Army will be frustrated.
Fortunately, after Xue Xin, Tudan and others rushed to kill, the balance of victory gradually tilted to the side of the Northern Army, and even the men and horses of the Ba family crossed the swamp and tried to attack the Flying Tiger Army in the huge trap.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jian was not happy but worried, you must know that the nearly 6,000 men and horses of the Ba family were placed in the west to resist the possible support of the coalition army. Seeing the war here, Wu Yan didn't believe that Lu Lie and the others would not send someone out to respond, it was grain and grass.
In the west, there is the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by a long smoke trail left by rockets, which is the symbol of the ancient soldiers.
The men and horses of the Ba family began to panic, and those who remained outside the swamp also rushed into it, hoping to rely on this swamp to stop the opponent's attack.
Seeing this, Wu Gen motioned for Xue Xin to support to the west, and took Zhuo Ke, Luo Zhang, and some people with him
The horse, leaning in the direction of the Bajia horse.
At the moment, as long as the other party is blocked, the Qiu Lin family horses in the encirclement can be strangled and completely cut off this scourge.
In the eyes of the Northern Army, the most troublesome thing for the coalition army is not the transformed men and horses of the Lu family, nor the cavalry of the Cang family, but these Flying Tiger Army, which come and go like the wind, can't catch up, and can't be killed.
Before the Ba family approached, Ba Yan was trying to clean up his subordinates, constantly expanding the scope of the swamp to prevent the Gu family's men and horses from stepping on the swamp to kill them. Because of the ancient family's rockets, they can restrain their own secret techniques to a certain extent.
Wu Yan raised his eyes and saw that a large number of coalition soldiers appeared in the black pressure in the west, with more than 10,000 men and horses, and the leader was the Gu family who calmed Gu Dare. With his own family and the Cang family's men, he is trying to blast this not deep swamp with rockets to open a passage out.
"Don't move, they won't be able to get over for now, continue to expand the swamp, and the rest will shoot at each other with arrows." Wu Yan shouted an order at Bayan. He knew that if these people fought their opponents in close quarters, they would probably be defeated faster.
Ba Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heart settled down a little. I have to say that Wu Gen took the lead in rushing to the front line, which made these Ba family's men and horses invisibly have more respect for him. Especially the last time in the blocking array, Wu Gen could leave, but he chose to stay with his subordinates and the people of the Ba family, which won the favor of these people.
The chaos gradually disappeared, and although the men and horses of the Cang family on the opposite side did not shoot far, the soldiers of the Ba family also began to fight back in an orderly manner.
Seeing that the situation was stable, Wu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he took someone to drag Gu Kang, he would leave the rest to Xue Xin and Shui Congyue.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed heavily among the Bajia horses. When the smoke cleared, Ba Yueze stood up.
"Bayan, quickly prepare your men and horses, follow me to the north to break away, support the southern army, and there may be thieves on Luling." Ba Yueze ignored Wu Yan's surprise and loudly issued a military order to Ba Yan.
"Ba Zhenfu, it's Ji Xian's men and horses who came up from Luling." Wu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, it is reported that there are nearly 20,000 people, and the military village on the ridge has been reported again and again, and it is less than seventy miles to the Luling Ridge. Moreover, there is also a change in the camp of the coalition army, it seems that they are going to meet the thieves, and the southern army is in danger, so I have to take the men and horses away to support." Ba Yueze said hurriedly, and loudly reprimanded Ba Yan to reorganize the troops. The latter glanced at Wu Qian with difficulty, and had to order his own horses to move north.
"No, Ba Zhenfu, this is the time of the big war, how can you take people away. As long as we hold on a little longer, we can completely wipe out the Chulin family's men and horses and destroy the food and grass of the coalition army." Wu Yan was in a hurry, and quickly grabbed Ba Yueze's arm.
"The Qiu Lin family is just suffering from scabies, just let them go this time, next time there is a chance, it is a big deal that something happened to Young Master Ji." Ba Yueze impatiently shook off Wu Gan's hand and prepared to leave with the people.
"Ba Zhenfu, you are bad for the overall situation of the northern and southern armies, the thieves have not yet arrived, how can you disregard the military situation and transfer people in battle." Wu Gan's heart was on fire, and he pointed his knife at the other party.
Ba Yueze snorted coldly, ignored Wu Gan, and led the team to the north. Gu Dan on the opposite side glanced at Ba Yueze, tacitly stopped the attack on Ba Yueze, and let him go.
Looking at the dense coalition soldiers on the opposite side, and then at the Northern Army soldiers who were still fighting hard behind him, Wu Yan was almost a little desperate.
Glancing coldly at Ba Yueze's back, Wu Yan raised the knife in his hand, ready to rely on this subordinate to try his best to prevent the coalition forces from breaking through the swamp.
