Chapter 225, the self-contained Sima Xin
Zhang Liang looked at the figure in front of him, and was a little anxious, for fear that his arrangement was discovered by Ziyou, and the bandits were just a pretense, in order to deceive them out of the mountain and attack Chengdu.
Just when Zhang Liang waited and waited, Sima Xin was sending people to search for ambushes in the nearby mountains and forests, and while Sima Xin was waiting, the soldier covered in blood came back, and Sima Xin's eyes flashed, and he knew that there must be an ambush.
"General, we hunted a black bear and a tiger." The soldier said excitedly.
Then a few soldiers came back with a black bear and a tiger, looking at only the tiger and the black bear, the light in Sima Xin's eyes disappeared, but there was a deep self-doubt, he felt that it should not be.
Looking at the canyon in front of him, this is an excellent ambush location, so he asked people to stop, and sent the deputy general to take the elite to check the mountain to see if there was an ambush, and it turned out that there was no one ambush on both sides of the canyon, but the spy said that there were people in ambush in the col ahead.
The deputy general proposed to let Sima Xin go up the mountain, but Sima Xin hesitated, Sima Xin thought that this was a trap, anyone who knew the art of war knew that it was best to choose a high point for the ambush, which could effectively prevent the ambush, but the other party not only gave up the valley here, but also exposed his back, which made Sima Xin think that this was a trap, in order to let him take people up the mountain, and sent people to surround the mountain, cut off his food and water, and trapped them on the mountain.
In order to prove his conjecture, Sima Xin asked people to check in the surrounding mountains and forests, originally he thought that he would find a large number of mountain bandits in ambush, but the reality slapped him in the mouth.
"General, go up the mountain, there must be no ambush nearby, if there is, we would have been attacked at this time." Said the adjutant general.
"You take someone up the mountain again to see if there are any traps or something." Sima Xin said undoubtedly.
The deputy general looked at Sima Xin's appearance, helplessly took people up the mountain again, carefully inspected any place, even under the stones and ant nests, and found no traps.
Looking at the valley, Sima Xin began to doubt the art of war he had learned, he felt that he had learned a fake art of war, and the first large-scale actual combat made Sima Xin have self-doubt, and he even began to doubt what Wu Anjun had taught him at the beginning.
"I'll take half of the men up the mountain, and you stay where you are, and if someone is in ambush, you can help." Sima Xin said.
Looking at Sima Xin, who was too cautious, the deputy general really wanted to say a word, general, you are facing a group of unruly mountain bandits, who know the art of war with a hammer, but they didn't say this sentence in the end, but waited at the bottom of the mountain according to Sima Xin's order.
At this time, Sima Xin on the top of the mountain was riding on a horse, the sun in the sky made his armor reflect a dazzling white light, and the soldiers around him held bows and crossbows in their hands, and their sharp arrows were aimed at the mountain bandits below.
Sima Xin's eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't understand why the following ones exposed his juniors? Is it to look down on him? Sima Xin, who really couldn't figure it out, didn't think about it anymore, this is a military merit given by God, don't do it in vain.
"The crossbowmen are in front, and after three waves of arrows, the army presses up, and whispers the order not to alarm the people below." Sima Xin whispered to the herald beside him.
"No!" The herald went down to deliver the order.
Zhang Liang looked at the crater below, and then looked at the canyon in the distance, and as the sun moved, the shadow under Zhang Liang's feet also moved.
Looking at the shadow under his feet, Zhang Liang's pupils constricted suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the high mountains behind him, they were ambushing the Qin army here in the mountain pass, but they forgot one thing, that is, they themselves were also in an ambush circle, and the place that could ambush them was the slopes on both sides of the canyon.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang felt cold all over his body as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and shouted loudly
"Retreat!"
Because of fear, Zhang Liang's voice was no longer as gentle as before, but very sharp.
The 2,000 people in ambush looked at Zhang Liang with a sharp voice at the same time, they didn't understand why Zhang Liang ordered to retreat, their order was to ambush the Qin army here.
"Did something happen to Mr. Zhang Liang?" The three elders' guards asked.
"Whatever it is, let people retreat, or we're all going to be buried here." Zhang Liang said excitedly.
Looking at Zhang Liang's appearance, the guards were still a little hesitant, now that the three elders are leading people to attack Chengdu, if they can't contain the defenders who go out of the city to suppress the bandits, then the three elders' people can't fight against the 30,000 army at all.
While Zhang Liang and the guards were still entangled, the Qin army on the mountain was ready for battle.
"Twenty more steps, you can't let go of any living mouth." Sima Xin said coldly.
Sima Xin's eyes were extremely indifferent, the mountain bandits below were no different from dead people in his eyes, he originally thought that this would be a vicious battle, but he didn't expect it to be a credit from heaven, this kind of condescending position, a wave of arrow rain and a wave of charge, eighty percent of the people below had to die.
Looking at Zhang Liang, who was dead or alive and not giving orders, he anxiously pulled the guard's collar and pointed to the position of the high mountain behind him
"The location here is too dangerous, we must evacuate immediately, if the Qin army occupies the high mountain, we will only have a dead end."
Zhang Liang looked at the top of the mountain, a dazzling white light flashed on the top of the mountain, and before the guards on the side could react, he immediately shouted
"There's an ambush!"
Although there was Zhang Liang's reminder, it was too late, Sima Xin on the top of the mountain shouted
"Shoot the arrow!!"
With Sima Xin's order, the sky full of arrow rain shot towards the col below, located at the top of the col without any trees and cover, in the face of this rain of arrows they are like a target, there is no chance to escape, watching the sharp arrows fall, the mountain bandits below have already made a mess, as the arrow rain all fell, two thousand people on the spot left less than 1,500 people.
But before they had time to catch their breath, the second round of arrow rain had arrived, Zhang Liang watched the rain of arrows in the sky constantly waving the sword in his hand, and all the arrows that shot at him were cut off, but after all, he had just practiced martial arts, and he couldn't shoot down all the arrows, a silver light flashed, and a long arrow pierced Zhang Liang's shoulder.
Zhang Liang paused in pain with the waving long sword in his hand, and at such a stop, countless arrows shot towards him, and just as Zhang Liang was about to meet his death, the disciple of the Zhang family, who had been following Zhang Liang, made a flying pounce and pressed Zhang Liang under him.
More than a dozen arrows plunged into his back, and the disciple spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Head of the house, don't get up, Qin Jun. Yes. Three. The disciple died before he could finish his words.
After the rain of arrows stopped, the third wave of arrows arrived as scheduled, and Sima Xin at the top of the mountain looked at the bottom of the mountain covered with arrows and corpses and waved his hand.
The crossbowmen closed the team, and the foot soldiers behind the crossbowmen were already hungry and thirsty, which was all human heads and military merits, and when the crossbowmen were shooting arrows, they kept hoping that these people were a little less accurate, and that they would leave them with more people, and that the wolves would have more meat and less meat, and they would be able to get one by one.
Under Sima Xin's order, the soldiers immediately ran desperately towards the bottom of the mountain like a wolf possessed, for fear that they would not be able to grab the head if they ran slowly, and the mountain bandits below were originally killed by three waves of arrow rain There are not many people left, and when they saw the black pressure like a wolf-like Qin army, they were frightened one by one, but the Qin soldiers would not give the other party a chance to react because the other party was stunned.
The Qin army, who was at the forefront, stabbed Chang Ge into the chest of a mountain bandit, blood spurted out and sprinkled on the soldier's face, which not only did not make the soldier afraid, but even more excited, pulling out Chang Ge and rushing out towards the mountain bandit.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the mountain bandits under the mountain had already been dealt with, Sima Xin went down the mountain leisurely, looking at these corpses, the confusion in his eyes did not dissipate, but now was not the time for him to look for answers, because he needed to return to Chengdu.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Sima Xin continued to take people to Shushan Mountain to encircle and suppress the city according to the map provided by Ziyou, while the deputy general led people to support Chengdu.
At the beginning of the third part of the arrow rain, Zhang Liang turned over and came to the circular col and hid in a recessed one-person cave.
Looking at the two disciples of the Zhang family who had their ears cut off here, Zhang Liang's eyes showed tears of remorse, if it weren't for his plan, maybe these people would not have died, but Zhang Liang didn't have time to regret at the moment, he needed to inform the three elders, he cut off the corners of the robes of the two, and left here with their accessories and jade pendants.
At this time, in the dense forest outside Chengdu, the three elders with three thousand mountain bandits were staring at Chengdu City with all kinds of weapons in their hands.
"Brothers, good wine and good meat are waiting for us in the city of Chengdu, as long as Chengdu is broken, the wine, food and beauty are all yours! Rush with me! The Third Elder drew the long sword at his waist and shouted.
With the sound of the horn in the dense forest, three thousand people suddenly rushed out of the dense forest, towards Chengdu City, Qu Yi on the city wall looked at the menacing mountain bandits below, without the slightest hesitation, let the soldiers around him fill the bow and arrow, although there are only 3,000 people on the city wall to guard, but 2,000 of the 3,000 people are crossbowmen.
Seeing that the mountain bandits below were within range of the bow and crossbow, Qu Yi ordered to shoot arrows.
At this time, the people in the city were frightened by the sound of the guard bell and hid back at home, and Chen Shu looked at the guards in the courtyard, pulled out the sword in his hand and said
"Something!"
But after Chen Shu rushed out of Chen's mansion with people, countless sharp arrows and Changge were aimed at them, and Ziyou sat in the middle of the soldiers, looking at Chen Shu with a smile
"Where is the Chen family master, where are you going?"
"It turned out to be Master Wang, who heard that the mountain bandits were attacking the city, and he specially led the guards to help the county guard defend the city." Chen Shu smiled and said with Ziyou, looking at the posture outside, he knew that he had been discovered, fortunately, he didn't really do anything to the defenders, and it was not a rebellion.
"Really? I think the head of the Chen family is harboring evil intentions, right? Someone reported that the Chen Mansion had hidden armor, what do you say? Ziyou said with a smile.
