Chapter 033: It Was Originally a Pit
Jin Shubao walked forward for another distance, and immediately felt the wind gusting around him.
After killing those sentinels before, there was no sense of vigilance at all.
The soldiers encountered now, whether they are in formation or small-scale cooperation, are not at the same level as the previous soldiers.
At present, it is no longer a problem of terrain or intelligence errors, but even the enemies they need to face are not quite the same.
Both the number of people, as well as the combat effectiveness, show that the opponent was premeditated.
"Tell me about the casualties?" Uncle Jin frowned and asked.
"Three dead, eight wounded."
Even there are only twenty-one people in themselves, eleven members of the team have lost their combat effectiveness, and there are still ten people left.
The enemy is familiar with the terrain and waits for work.
If this continues, not only will the mission not be completed, but the whole team will face the danger of annihilation.
Thinking of this, Jin Shubao's whole body was agitated, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Junji, send a signal to Luo Bu and let the frontal troops under the mountain start to attack."
"Start a frontal assault now?" He Junji was taken aback and questioned:
"We haven't finished off their eight-bull crossbow and other strong crossbow positions yet, and if we attack head-on, the team will suffer heavy casualties."
"Bastard! If we don't attack now, our raiding team will face even more pressure, and even the whole army will be wiped out, and all previous efforts will be wasted! ”
Jin Shubao's face was pale, and it was the first time he had angrily reprimanded He Junji.
He took a breath, turned his head and swept everyone aside with a sharp look, and ordered:
"We will follow the second plan, retreat to the edge of the cliff, where there are several large rocks made of natural commanding heights, we will hold there, wait for the successors to go up the back mountain, and then we will wait for the opportunity to counterattack."
"Understood!"
“……”
He Junji was also blushing, at this time, he could only obey the military order unconditionally.
Because Jin Shubao is the commander of the raid, the main responsibility for any defeat is him.
But if you don't obey the order, he will punish you severely.
Without hesitation, He Junji took out a special short arrow from his quiver, mounted a small and exquisite riding crossbow, and fired diagonally towards the direction of Panlong Castle.
"Shhh
A red feathered arrow with a rattling tail flew into the air, which was the signal for a frontal attack.
In the distance, the observation platform on the front line of Panlong Castle.
"Report to Luo Bu, Jin Shubao and they sent a signal to request a frontal attack."
The castle herald the lieutenant and reported to Luo Chengyi on the observation platform.
"Okay, issue a command flag to the two infantry that are attacking head-on, and order them to attack with all their strength behind the recruits, and find a way to disassemble and carry heavy equipment such as stone throwers and crossbows."
"Order another raid team to go to the back mountain immediately, and prepare to climb the cliff to attack reinforcements!"
Luo Chengyi gave the order cleanly.
"No..."
The herald lieutenant turned and left, ordered the castle to order the flag men, and signaled the attack to the frontal position.
A full-scale battle of Yunhai Mountain began.
"It seems that we have to retreat to the back mountain, which is in the middle of the road, and it is easy for the enemy to surround it."
Uncle Jin frowned and muttered.
Now, they had been pinned down in the trench, unable to move within a radius of about thirty paces, especially with a crossbow bolt stack at the heights.
They did not dare to make their heads, so they had to move slowly along the left wall of the trench, which was slower and more difficult than the turtle could climb.
It's impossible to attack head-on from the bottom of the mountain, and it hasn't started yet.
The enemy's division on the mountain was roundabout, but they came quickly, and Jin Shubao and they moved a little slowly, and I am afraid that they would not even have time to retreat.
The situation is urgent, and it is time to make a decision.
"Ding Jun, Fan Hu, Er and the others are responsible for opening the way, after Jun Ji is broken, the rest of the people will retreat at this rate!"
Jin Shubao decisively gave a specific retreat order.
There were eighteen members left, eight wounded, five of them seriously wounded, who quickly turned around, followed the path markers, and moved quickly backwards.
However, at this time, the Turkic soldiers, in addition to the frontal defense, had already crawled out of the tunnel with a whole team of elite soldiers.
There are more than 30 soldiers in total, with full armor, scimitars and crossbows in hand, and they are well-equipped.
As soon as they got out of the tunnel, they began to make a detour, directly outflanking the back of Jin Shubao's raiding team.
Others surrounded the flanks along the flanks of the trench.
In the cave of Yunhai Mountain, the chief officer of the Turkic defenders is called Fan Tony, a partial general, who is the nephew of Ashna-Qili, the king of the Western League of the Turkic Khanate.
He was waiting with dozens of his elite guards.
"It should be the raid team named Uncle Jin Bao, they have been loaded into the pit dug by Ben Jiang, and Ben Jiang should personally come forward to capture him alive."
After Van Tony finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept over the guards present, and the grim look on his face flashed.
He and his guards put on helmets, armor, a crescent scimitar, and a quiver, and walked slowly out of the tunnel.
It's all in his plan.
Linghu Slope and they walked halfway, and suddenly felt that the arrows in front of them became denser and denser, and they couldn't help but stop.
"Big brother, the arrows in front are getting denser and denser, I'm afraid they are in trouble!" Xu Shichang frowned and said.
"I'm not stupid, it must be the border army raid team, surrounded by the Turks!" Ling Hupo replied angrily.
Xu Shichang was stunned, "What should I do?" How can we help them? ”
"Let's not go up yet, just nearby, give them a good tail." Ling Hupo had been thinking about it just now, thinking that the raid team might retreat.
The mother originally wanted to be behind the raid team, pick up a cheap one and sell a good one.
If the raid team succeeds, the two of them will have more or less credit, at least they can hedge against the crime of escaping.
Unexpectedly, this raid party was in big trouble.
If the city is on fire, it will also affect the fish in the pond.
That's bad luck.
Linghu Po had a gloomy face, slowly sticking his head out of the trench and looking forward.
The first thing that catches your eye is the arrow stack.
About thirty paces away, on the top floor of a bunker, was a battlement made of many dry weeds.
There were several Turkic soldiers on it, holding several five-in-a-row/round riding crossbows, and they were facing the right direction to suppress the rain of arrows.
There should be the location of the raiding party.
"Shichang, let's find a way to remove this arrow stack and cover their retreat." Ling Hupo pointed to the side of the arrow stack and said.
"Hmm..." Xu Shichang nodded knowingly.
The two of them put the arrows in one of the quivers in front of them, and then they both took a deep breath, and Ling Hupo exclaimed:
"Up..."
Both of them got up at the same time, held their breath and fired their bows and arrows.
"Whoosh... Whoosh..."
Arrows burst out of the air.
"Porphyry... Porphyry..."
This time, as Ling Hupo expected, he instantly passed a distance of more than thirty paces and directly pierced the side of the archer's neck.
Several Turkic crossbow archers fell to the ground.
The strong crossbow blocking point on the arrow stack was instantly dumbfounded.
