Chapter 339: Underestimating the Enemy
Song Maha was still outside the first wall of fire, and dozens of horses rushed into the sea of fire, struggling to knock the burning wood and stone fortifications out of a passage with his flesh and blood, so that the fire also decreased slightly, which made Song Maha see the hope of breaking through this wall of fire.
"Tian Wenfeng, quickly order someone to move all the wood and stones, and open the passage for the cavalry behind!" Song Maha roared loudly.
Tian Wenfeng shouted in agreement, turned his horse's head and ordered in a loud voice to the cavalry of the Zhennan Army who were crowded together behind him and were busy controlling the fire-fearing war horses: "Dismount, dismount!" Use manpower, use the handle of the gun, in short, no matter what is used, open a passage...... Yes! ”
As soon as Tian Wenfeng's words fell, he suddenly let out a loud cry that had nothing to do with the order, and everyone looked in shock, but saw Tian Wenfeng twisting his body on horseback, scratching behind him with his hands, as if there was something on his back. As he turned around, everyone saw that he had a flaming feather arrow nailed to his back, piercing through the thin stomach and nailing into his body, revealing half of the feather outside.
Song Mojie screamed in shock, and wanted to step forward to help Tian Wenfeng, so he heard the sound of Xiu Xiu once again making a big fuss, more feather arrows were shot, Song Mojie hurriedly waved his blade to block, and after this round of arrow rain, look at Tian Wenfeng, this Song Mojie's most trusted strategist has fallen off his horse like a hedgehog, and more than a dozen cavalry of the Zhennan Army around him have also fallen off their horses with arrows.

A soldier of the Zhennan Army covered in smoke rolled out from behind the first wall of fire, his clothes catching fire as he ran, and red flames erupted. As he ran, he cried out: "There is a wall of fire behind, I can't rush through, young marshal save me, save me!" ”
As the words fell, his body fell to the ground with a thud, and his body writhed on the ground with a smoky fire, and after a moment it was silent.
I don't know if it was Tian Wenfeng or the tragic death of this soldier, which finally made Song Mo suddenly sober, and he also completely understood the current situation after the impulse, and he was afraid that he had fallen for the simplest trick to lure the enemy.
The Praetorian army had already set up several fortifications in the valley, and each of them could become a wall of fire that hindered their pursuit, and they could bend their bows and shoot arrows behind each wall of fire. He and his subordinates were like wounded prey in the woods, and they would be shot accurately one by one but there was nothing they could do.
Even if he doesn't want to admit that his recklessness caused such a predicament, even if he is helpless against the forbidden army that is close to him, even if he is unwilling to capture the golden-armored young man, as the commander of the Zhennan Army, Song Maha also understands that if he doesn't retreat away immediately, and continues to blindly rush and kill, I'm afraid he will fold here today, it is true that the forbidden army on the opposite side is estimated to be small, but there are 200,000 troops behind them, which can be replenished continuously.
"The back team becomes the front team, retreat immediately, the sooner the better!" Song Maha gave the order to retreat.
As soon as the rear cavalry arrived, they were asked to turn around and withdraw, and many people did not know the situation in front of them, and there was a lot of scolding, but the young marshal's order could not be violated after all, so they hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and the scene was chaotic. Six or seven hundred cavalry of the southern army of Zhenzhen crowded like headless flies on the long valley passage, and there was no military discipline at all.
While quickly moving away from the range of the arrows behind the wall of fire, Song Majie was very angry at the chaotic scene in front of him, and scolded angrily: "A bunch of bastard things have become a pot of porridge!" The Zhennan Army hasn't fought for a few years, and they don't know how to fight anymore? That is, there are few people from the forbidden army, otherwise today will be a catastrophe. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a heart-rending noise from the men and horses behind, and the screams and neighing of the war horses clearly reached Song Mojie's ears, because he turned a valley bend, and he couldn't see the situation of the soldiers and horses behind him clearly, and he could only hear the creepy screams.
"What's going on, report it quickly!" Song Majie roared angrily.
"Young marshal! Young Marshal...... Big, big, big things are not good, the cavalry of the forbidden army in turn began to charge us! Look at the number of flags, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there are no less than 1,000 riders! The rear team couldn't escape, and there were heavy casualties! The news came quickly, and a bloodied general quickly came to report.
Song Majie was shocked, slapped himself in the mouth, and scolded: "Lao Tzu, this crow's mouth, I'm bah!" ”
"What to do? Young marshal. ”
Song Maha was dumbfounded: "What else can I do? I have to sacrifice my brothers in the back team! All the staff retreated quickly, retreat immediately! Remove! ”
All the cavalry of the Zhennan Army scrambled to flee like the waves of the ebbing tide, and the shouts of the cavalry of the forbidden army in the rear resounded to the sky, because the narrow mountain road of the cavalry of the Zhennan Army could not turn their horses' heads to fight, the forbidden army aimed at the back of the enemy army and began to slaughter, just mechanically wielding swords and spears, and each round of sprinting and engagement could almost overwhelmingly cut down all the enemy cavalry around them, and there were almost no people who could escape.
But after all, the forbidden army actually only has three or four hundred horsemen, but they only occupy the advantage of the narrow road and the deep forest, and they just bluff with more banners, according to Li Yuan's command, they have no strength and no way to chase to the end, they can only slow down a little after each round, and the time difference in the middle is deliberately the best time for the cavalry of the Zhennan Army to escape, but the soldiers and horses of the Zhennan Army have already been defeated like a mountain, where do they dare to turn back, as soon as they heard that there are thousands of chasing soldiers, even the shadows of the trees shaking around them are regarded as enemy troops, and they don't dare to think about it at all, They fled desperately towards the valley exit.
Song Majie's heart was like a fire, urging the horses to scold the crowding and fleeing his subordinates, but in the moment of life and death, who was willing to give up the escape passage to others happily? Being in an extremely dangerous death zone, the more he rubbed Song Majie to know the greater the danger.
"I hope the forbidden army in the rear will stop chasing, if this keeps biting our butts and fighting, it will be very bad." Song Majie thought to himself.
As soon as the thought turned, it was like a roundworm in Song Majie's stomach, and a long horn sounded in the rear, and the cavalry of the forbidden army stepped on the ground of the blue smoke bird like crazy and rode the horse to speed up, and the war horse may have been in pain due to the horse's belly and buttocks, and then became anxious and jumped because of the hot ground, and the speed of running was naturally faster.
Song Mojie suddenly turned his head and saw the golden-armored young man who attracted him, and next to him was a long-haired general with a strong face, a tiger-headed armor shining, and the long sword in his hand also flashed with cyan light.
Song Mojie didn't know him, but at this time he already had a result in his heart, because he saw clearly that the flag behind the golden armor boy was not the dark red python mosquito Yanwang flag, but the tiger striped python border handsome flag with the word "Li".
Song Majie suddenly slapped his mouth, and then slapped his mouth to the ground, and scolded himself angrily in his heart: "How can I be worthy of my uncle's teachings in the past if I am so light on the enemy today?" Arrogance and even a dead end! It is impossible to turn back and fight now, everyone is busy fleeing, it is impossible to turn around and face the battle in the chaos, maybe they will really die here today. ”
Song Majie completely lost his will to fight, and today's defeat was unjust, but the physical and mental blows it brought were a little heavy. lost his mind for a while, but he didn't expect the price to be so huge, he rushed to attack the enemy, and was set up by Li Yuan. At present, more than half of his men and horses have been lost, and what is even worse is that his soldiers and horses have no fighting spirit, so they can only evacuate immediately.
I saw Song Majie loudly scolding the soldiers of the Zhennan Army in front, and seeing that the soldiers were still in disarray, he scolded angrily while slashing and killing several soldiers who suddenly stopped blocking the road with their horses sideways and stayed in place in fear.
Under the persecution of such powerful means, coupled with the blood and horses sacrificed by the Zhennan army in the rear team, the pace of the cavalry of the forbidden army seemed to slow down, and Song Maha and the cavalry of the Zhennan army finally saw the hope of escaping from the land of death......
