Chapter 196: The Valley of Death
"Han Dong, you remember, your mission is to lurk in those caves, and when the enemy passes, you will kill them and block their retreat. There will be generals blocking the road in front, and then we will be in this valley to destroy the enemy's forward force..."Jiang Hai said.
"Yes, General, I will definitely complete the mission, lurk in the cave, and wait for the enemy to pass through, and block them..."Han Dong said.
Han Dong remembered that when he came here with the army, he was studying. Wouldn't it be nice to destroy yourself if they were scattered and the enemy found out.
"We can't disperse, we have to find a big hole and go in it all, and the cave must be blocked to escape," Han Dong said.
"Yes, General," said his men.
Han Dong remembered that the group quickly found a large cave with several branch roads leading to more hidden places. Han Dong hid all the main army here.
Han Dong looked behind at the moment, there was a branch road behind him, which led deep to a crack in the ground, which was also densely wooded. There will be no smoke here.
"Let's not give out the slightest bit of information so that the merchant army thinks that we originally wanted to ambush them, but then escaped," Han Dong said.
"Yes, General," said his men.
In those caves, there were some soldiers, but those caves had other exits, so they dared to enter. There weren't many soldiers in those caves, they were all small detachments. They were set on fire by the merchant army, but they all fled.
Those holes are hollows. When Xiao Yan began to burn the cave, the merchant army was full of a sense of success. They felt that the enemy had been destroyed by themselves.
It's just that they don't know that the enemy is no longer there, and they have all gathered in Han Dong's big cave. The entrance to the cave was deliberately hidden. The merchant army could not find it.
Xiao Yan didn't understand these clues, he just asked the soldiers to set fire.
They burned for a long time. No results are visible.
"Maybe the enemy is all smoked to death," said Xiao Yan's men.
Xiao Yan was a little skeptical, but he still nodded. It was smoky and it was impossible to get in now. Xiao Yan looked at the valley in front of him.
"The enemy tried to attack us, but we blocked us on the mountain. Let's go into the valley now... General," said his men.
"Did you come back from the previous exploration, is the valley safe?" Xiao Yan asked.
"The horse came back and said it was quiet... I guess the enemy is trying to hide in the cave and attack when we reach the valley...," said his men.
Xiao Yan nodded, "Okay, let's pass in batches, first five hundred people pass strongly, and then hold the mountain pass in front of us." Then two thousand and finally another thousand. There are a thousand people left on the hill here. Make sure everyone is safe, and they pass quickly...," Xiao Yan said.
"Yes, General," said his men.
Xiao Yan's army of five hundred people walked quickly into the valley, and they looked to the sides as they walked.
On the peaks on both sides, it was so quiet that there seemed to be no ambush. They kept rushing over. When they reached the mouth of the valley in front of them, they saw that there was nothing here.
"Go back and report Xiao Yan's march immediately, everything is normal here...," said an adjutant general.
"Yes, General," said one of the soldiers, and hurriedly mounted his horse to report back.
When Xiao Yan knew that everything was normal, he nodded, "It seems that there is no problem, these Dongnan Yi people have already been frightened." They didn't dare stop me any more. Let's go, let's pass..."Xiao Yan said.
He himself took two thousand men and went over there.
Han Dong, who was watching below on the top of the mountain, watched all this, and he smiled. He was thinking, this little Yan looks smart, but he is actually very stupid.
When Xiao Yan's people disappeared into the valley, the thousand people he left behind were still watching behind the valley mouth.
Han **ran felt that Xiao Yan was not stupid, if he wanted to sneak attack, the people who stayed behind would tell the people in front to withdraw quickly. And they are guarding the valley mouth, and they will not be able to fight for a while.
They will quickly notify the people in front of them to withdraw from it. So this arrangement is reasonable.
What is in front of us is, what are these merchant troops doing on the current mountain peak? Han Dong was thinking.
"General, don't worry, our cave has a fork in the valley, and you can go directly to the mouth of the valley," said one of the soldiers.
They have long since figured it out.
"Well, you take a thousand men and rush to the mouth of this valley to block the enemies. I'll go out here right now, throw something from the top of the mountain and block the valley mouth..."Xu Dong said.
The men all obeyed the order.
"Everyone went out, we killed him by surprise, some people took the path to attack the merchant army, and some people went up to the top of the mountain to throw things and block the valley mouth..."Han Dong said.
"Yes, General," shouted everyone.
It was because of Xiao Yan's layout that they were a little difficult to handle, so in the end, Xiao Yan avoided the catastrophe.
Han Dong was killed, and their men continued to kill the merchant troops on the hillside. Others also took the cave path to kill the merchant army at the mouth of the valley. They scuffled into a mess.
During the battle, some of the Dongnanyi soldiers freed their hands, and they threw down a lot of stones and logs according to the original plan. As soon as these things were thrown down, they blocked the mouth of the valley.
The merchant troops guarding the mouth of the valley were shocked, and they encountered the enemy's attack at the same time, and they could only deal with it passively.
The valley was blocked, and the army rushing ahead knew it at once. Xiao Yan was also startled by this sound and turned around.
"Oh no, general, our retreat has been cut off," a soldier shouted.
"No, we can't let the retreat be cut off..."Xiao Yan shouted loudly.
"Let's kill back," he shouted.
"Notify the people in front of you immediately, and withdraw quickly..."Xiao Yan shouted.
He knew that there must be an enemy ambush ahead, and if they did not retreat, they would be completely annihilated. Although there will be danger in withdrawing, there will be attacks in the valley.
Xiao Yan looked at the peaks on both sides and sighed.
He was about to rush back with his men, but suddenly, on the mountain peak, another enemy appeared. The peaks here and the valleys are not connected. So Xiao Yan didn't send anyone to search for this place just now.
The people here are also a team of the Jianghai faction. Their main general, Wang Shi, looked at the merchant army in the valley and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"Let's put arrows, put wood, and throw torches," Wang Shi shouted.
The soldiers threw the flammable things down, and then the torches were thrown down. The archers are also constantly shooting down arrows.
When they saw these things coming down, the merchant army was already panicking.
"Hurry up, go to the valley mouth..."Xiao Yan shouted loudly as he chopped the arrows.
The valley was on fire, and there were fires everywhere, and the merchant army fell one after another as they rushed back. Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, and he looked at the enemy troops on the mountain peak. He flew up.
In the air, his posture was so graceful, he saw that Wang Shi was directing the release of arrows, he gritted his teeth and flew over.
Wang Shi was shouting, "Shoot arrows, throw them quickly..."
However, he felt the wind, and when he reacted, a long knife slashed at him. Wang Shi's eyes widened, his head had already flown out.
Xiao Yan slashed at the soldiers with a knife. Those soldiers were attacking the merchant army below, and they didn't expect such a god-like figure to appear.
They were all shocked, Xiao Yan stabbed one by one, slashing hard.
But there are hundreds of soldiers on this mountain, and it will take time to kill them all. Xiao Yan could only swing all his strength, and try to wipe out one piece as soon as the blade flew up.
