Outside the north gate of Xinzheng, Ji Wuye took the personal guards of the 3,000 generals' mansion and the backbone of the 17,000 night army to break through the north gate and Bai Yifei led the 3,000 troops to personally defend the city gate, and galloped all the way.

Ji Yihu's choice was to escape, and Ji Wuye, who was hesitating whether to make a last effort or stop in time, got the news that the Hundred Bird Killers had delivered to him for the first time today.

That was one of Bainiao's killers, who saw the suspected figures of Princess Red Lotus and Han Wang'an in the alleyway outside King Han's palace.

Ji Wuye's eyes widened, looking at Han Wang'an, who was standing by the palace gate and looking at him not long ago, where was Han Wang'an and Honglian in his sight at this moment.

Han Wang'an, the Zen envoy, is gone, and the hostage of Honglian is gone, so what's the point of hitting Han Wanggong?

So Ji Wuye ordered his troops to continue to besiege Han Wanggong, and then search carefully after the capture, and he led the elite to personally pursue the suspected figures of Han Wangan and Red Lotus as mentioned by the Hundred Bird Killer.

Then, Ji Wuye broke through the north gate guarded by Bai Yifei himself, left behind the tens of thousands of troops besieging the palace of King Han, and ran it.

Since he decided to withdraw, Ji Wuye naturally wouldn't hesitate anymore.

Ji Wuye had actually made a retreat plan after the defeat in advance, that is, to retreat to Nanyang with his cronies and trusted elites.

First occupy the four counties that have not yet been officially handed over in Korea, and then take the other four counties that were ceded out before and have now been initially developed, and it is enough to support an army of 10,000 with the people of eight counties.

Then he copied Lanxiu Villa and took all the property of the Jade Tiger to himself, so that he would never have any problem raising 20,000 soldiers, and then he wrote to Zhao Guo and asked for submission.

Although a traitor like him can't get the real trust of Zhao Wangyan, he is definitely attractive enough to Zhao Guo, who is now only a general who stands out from the Dai Land, Li Mu.

What's more, he had a close relationship with Guo Kai, Zhao Wangyan's favorite minister.

And if you want to go north to Nanyang, then there is only this one road to choose.

It is a road sandwiched between two small hills, and the bushes on both sides of the road are like an endless sea of green, growing densely and covering the entire slope.

The trail winds like a snake through the mountains. Sunlight shines through the sparse leaves on the ground, creating a colorful spot of light. The breeze rustles through the bushes, as if nature is the accompaniment to this battle. Among the grasses, some wildflowers grew tenaciously, their petals emitting an alluring fragrance that contrasted with the bloody scent of these soldiers.

Ji Yihu felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. He looked at Ji Wuye and proposed, "Father, the terrain here is steep, and there may be an ambush. Why don't you send scouts to investigate and make sure you're safe. ”

However, Ji Wuye does not agree with this view.

Although this mountain road is indeed steep and winding, making it an excellent ambush place, Ji Wuye did not believe that the Qin army would set up an ambush here.

After all, he had not informed anyone of his retreat plan in advance, and it was impossible for the Qin army to know the direction of their retreat. Moreover, the Qin army should concentrate its main forces inside the city to encircle them, rather than setting up an ambush in a place that is uncertain whether it will pass by.

Therefore, Ji Wuye did not feel worried, but instead led the three thousand Great General's Mansion guards to enter the mountain road first.

Seeing this, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely.

It seemed that he felt that everyone was demoralized, and Ji Wuye suddenly laughed out loud.

Ji Wuye's laughter echoed between the two small hills, forming a burst of echoes, and this laughter made people feel a little uneasy.

Zhang Ping, who was forced by Ji Wuye to retreat to Nanyang with him, couldn't help but ask, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

Ji Wuye didn't seem to notice anything wrong at all, but instead held a horsewhip, pointed to the wooded terrain in front of him, and continued to laugh: "I don't laugh at others, I just laugh at Zhang Ji without a plan, and Hou Shaozhi in Xueyi." What if I ambush an army here in advance when I use my troops? ”

Of course, he didn't really despise Zhang Ji and Bai Jin, but he knew that their strategy was to enter the city to encircle and annihilate his army. But in any case, there are only 100,000 troops, controlling the city gates, controlling the arsenal and other important places, so a division of troops, counting the Qin army in a head-to-head confrontation, it is impossible to have the spare strength to set up ambushes outside.

It was only when he saw that the morale of the corporal was low, and in order to boost the morale of the army, he deliberately said this.

As if in response to Ji Wuye's "praise", a drum beat broke the silence in the valley.

Immediately, the whistling sound of the bowstring and the sound of the bow and arrow piercing the air came and went, and the arrows in the sky fell heavily.

In order to speed up the march, in addition to the 3,000 guards of the General's Mansion, the more than 17,000 people all traveled lightly and without shields. They wore light armor and wore only the necessary weapons.

These Korean soldiers were frightened, but around this mountain road, there was only a bush, not even a few trees, and in the face of condescending arrow fire, there was no way to cover at all, so they could only run in all directions to dodge.

Some people chose to hide behind bushes and cover their heads with their bodies, hoping to reduce the chance of injury. Some people chose to rush forward, hoping to get out of the range of the rain of arrows as soon as possible. Others choose to find a large rock and use it as a cover to avoid the arrows.

"The Qin army only punished the evil leader Ji Wuye and his henchmen, and the soldiers can disperse by themselves!"

The soldiers of the Snow Castle shouted loudly, word by word resounding like thunder on the battlefield, and this shout became the last straw that crushed Ji Wuye.

Being a soldier is paid, this is the almost unanimous thinking of the soldiers of this era.

Perhaps in some large countries, soldiers will have a sense of honor and disgrace similar to that of later generations, and put aside their own interests for the time being, but this is absolutely impossible in South Korea.

The reason why South Korea can be called "Jinhan" after the Shen Bu Harm change the law is that the officials are honest and honest, and the corrupt and corpse vegetarians have nothing to hide; Second, the treasury is full, the minerals are abundant, and the world's strong bows and crossbows come out of Han; The Sanlai Han people inherited the courage and loyalty inherited by their ancestors, dared to move forward in the sword mountain, did not retreat in the sea of fire, and the army looked down on them.

However, the wind of healing has also planted the seeds of hidden dangers.

Before the rule of surgery, Korea was an upright and idealistic youth. And after the treatment, South Korea quickly transformed into a middle-aged man who was scheming.

Toughness and loyalty are gone, power tricks and intrigues are in vogue, kings and ministers are intrigued, and officialdom is deceitful. The noble character of one's own safety, which is regarded as the highest interest, and the rise and fall of the country as one's own responsibility, is gone.

And the strict management of the purging of the officials...... Oh, there is a way to control, there is a way to deal with it,

Therefore, before Han Wang'an succeeded to the throne, Korea had completely become a state of art to avoid disasters and seek people.

And the people at the bottom were also changed by the style of magic, loyalty and courage and uprightness died out, and living became the disposition of the Han people.

How much will the soldiers who are fighting for their survival have?

What's more, Ji Wuye ignored one thing.

He thought he was carrying elite light and simple travel, but he ignored the origins of these elites.

This is a major factor in people's reluctance to leave their homeland.

The people of this era have a deep-rooted local complex, so that even if they die outside, they hope that the body can eventually return to their hometown and be buried after death, even if it is more than 2,000 years later, there is still such a funeral custom.

And Ji Wuye's subordinates are from a variety of backgrounds of these soldiers, but most of them are Han soldiers from Xinzheng and several nearby villages, and a few are from the cities near Yangzhai and Anling Xinzheng.

But Ji Wuye was defeated, and most of the people's hearts were scattered, and he was able to betray Ji Wuye on the spot because of Ji Wuye's prestige and fear of the three thousand generals' guards.

But if they want to leave their hometown and go to Nanyang, continue to do the business of killing heads, and they can't continue to eat and drink spicy food in the future, they naturally don't want to.

So, taking advantage of the war, Ji Wuye was also suppressed under the rain of arrows, and people kept raising the weapons in their hands above their heads and begging for mercy and leaving.

As for whether they will return to the barracks to serve South Korea again, or escape military service and go home, or fall into the grass, it is not up to Zhang Ji to manage, it is something that Quicksand, who is about to replace Nightfall and take over South Korea, has to worry about.

And what Zhang Ji has to worry about is just Ji Wuye in front of him.

Of course, I don't have to worry about it.

After all, if he couldn't take Ji Wuye in the current situation, he would simply kill himself.

The Xueyi Fort army divided 3,000 troops to Bai Yifei to guard the north gate, and 7,000 set up ambushes on both sides of the mountain road, plus 1,000 Iron Eagle Warriors, and 500 net killers scattered and hidden in all corners of this bush, a total of 8,500 people.

And what about Ji Wuye's side?

Although these guards of the Great General's Mansion were loyal enough, and no one chose to turn their backs on Ji Wuye at this time, there were less than three thousand people.

Eight thousand against three thousand, the advantage is mine!

Zhang Ji was slightly proud in his heart, but he was not careless because of this.

"Keep firing the arrows! Don't leave your hands alone! ”

Zhang Ji continued to command the army of Snow Castle to continuously release arrows, and the dense arrow rain almost obscured the sky, even if everyone was equipped with a shield, they could not resist the ferocity of the arrow rain.

Moreover, these arrows, although they are only soaked in the venom and simply quenched, the poison is easy to volatilize or remain on the surface of the skin during the shooting process and cannot enter the blood vessels, but these venoms are highly toxic carefully prepared by the poisoners of the net, and the blood seals the throat.

As long as an arrow can break through the skin of these generals' guards, one enemy will be reduced.

"Zhang Ji! If you have the ability, come down and fight Ben to the death! What kind of skill is it to put arrows here! ”

Ji Wuye probed out of the shield array and shouted loudly.

But Zhang Ji didn't care about Ji Wuye's shouts at all, he just sneered.

It is the wisest choice to encircle and annihilate Ji Wuye's three thousand guards at the lowest cost, why take people to risk going down the mountain to confront Ji Wuye head-on?

Although it is impossible for the arrows brought by the army to really encircle and annihilate these 3,000 people, every additional death means that one less person dies on their side.

In his opinion, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, let alone the burning of money instead of the passing of life.

Moreover, under the influence of the Qin Mo family, the current Qin State Workshop has established a stable assembly line production system. Arrows were not worth anything in the Qin State, so he did not hesitate to let the army of Snow Castle and the killers of the nets constantly shoot arrows, trapping the enemy in a rain of arrows.

Ji Wuye's guards in the General's Mansion continued to face the firing of arrows, which was already less than three thousand, and the number of people dropped sharply by seven or eight hundred under the shooting of poisoned arrows.

But they couldn't fight back, although this steep hill was not impossible to climb, but they had to climb such a hill with heavy armor, the speed was extremely slow, and they would encounter a rain of arrows from the army of Snow Castle, which was no less difficult than attacking a city.

As for counter-shooting, condescending and bottom-up, that's not a difficulty at all.

Moreover, their arrows were not poisoned, and they could have been affected by the bushes on the hills, but the arrows shot from the Snowcoat Castle army fell straight into their formation.

So they can only wait for the arrows of the Snowcoat Castle army to run out, and then take the initiative to descend the mountain in order to encircle and annihilate them, so that there is still a chance to fight.

After all, they are the elite trained after Wei Wushu, although they are not as good as Wei Wushu, but they are not too far behind.

Finally, the rain of arrows overhead stopped.

But the storm in the hearts of the guards of the General's Mansion came suddenly.

A thousand iron eagle warriors descended from the hillside in an orderly manner, and even on the steep mountain road, they still maintained the stability of the military formation, and their steps were steady, and they did not give these generals' guards any opportunity to take advantage of.

"Iron Eagle Warrior!"

Ji Wuye guessed their identities the moment he saw the Iron Eagle Ruishi appear, and exclaimed.

It's really the image of the Iron Eagle Ruishi that is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the past achievements have made the world's elites frightened, and they dare not call themselves elites anymore.

And along with the Iron Eagle Warriors, there were also Zhang Ji, Bai Jin, Occult Sun, Black and White Xuanjian, Six Sword Slaves, Eight Linglong, and the commander of the Iron Eagle Warriors, Du Lieutenant Bai Qi, these seven Grandmaster-level combat power.

There was not the slightest suspense, and the battle fell into a one-sided situation.

The Iron Eagle Ruishi once had the experience of defeating three thousand Wei warriors in a battle with a number of thousand.

Although Wei Wushu at that time was no longer the strong pawns under Wu Qi's command back then, but some newly replenished armor disciples, they were also elite, but they were defeated by one enemy and three defeats.

Moreover, the casualties of the Iron Eagle Warriors were only three hundred.

Wei Wushu is like this, not to mention these general's palace guards who are not as good as Wei Wushu.

As the whistling sound of Zhan Lu's sword piercing the air fell on Ji Wuye's neck, the civil strife in South Korea also stopped temporarily, as for whether it was a complete end...... Who knows?
