0517, the rear army was ambushed
Huang Yanying's army of 14,000 men on the Western Route is now divided into three parts.
Adjutant General Huo Lianshan led the partial division to attack the northern front, that is, the 3,600 cavalry battalions of Yang Hu and Naliburai, plus 360 personal soldiers, for a total strength of 4,000 people.
Acuzhi and Vistori commanded the camp of 3,600 people, plus 400 of his own soldiers, and a total of 4,000 men served as the vanguard of the southern front.
Huang Yanying and Cao Cuiyun led the 6,000 Chinese troops to join forces, and followed thirty miles behind the vanguard of Acuřitse and Versiori. Thereinto:
Cao Cuiyun's female battalion of 1,200 cavalry, equipped with short guns, bows and arrows, embroidered spring knives, and did not fight head-on.
The cavalry artillery battalion has 1,200 men and is equipped with 150 tiger squat guns, mainly to provide fire support for future attacks.
The cavalry battalion of 1,200 men, which was used as a reconnaissance, search, and raid force.
The Kongming crossbow and arrow battalion of 1,200 people was equipped with 400 Kongming crossbow and arrow vehicles, which were stored as a defensive force.
The pack horse and baggage battalion of 1,200 men mainly transported arrows, gunpowder, iron sand, and salt, and raised grain on the spot.
With such a force, there should be no problems both offensively and defensively.
The military advisor Wan Lian knew the importance of Huang Yanying and Xia Yun in the Xiong family's army, so he set up such a force for the two of them. Moreover, the soldiers in the army are all elites selected from the local area.
When Huang Yanying received the news that the vanguard was attacked by the enemy, it was already the time when the fifth watch was about to pass and the sky was getting brighter.
It has been more than ten years since he started to travel at the age of sixteen. In addition to rescuing Yuan Liqing at the beginning, she encountered a danger in Qinglong Mountain in Hangu Guan, and Huang Yanying has never been deflated.
Recently, she has been in a bad mood, but now that she heard that her teacher was unfavorable, Huang Yanying suddenly became angry.
Originally, sending a cavalry battalion to reinforce and launch an attack from behind the enemy's sneak attack could play a huge role in internal and external flanking and complete the task of breaking the siege.
"Cao Cuiyun commanded the Chinese army to follow up, and the cavalry battalion followed me to reinforce the vanguard!"
What can be done by a partial general, Huang Yanying has to personally lead the cavalry battalion to kill it.
As soon as the military order was issued, everyone could only carry it out, because Huang Yanying had already rushed out first.
Huang Yanying is already strong in martial arts, and her sweaty BMW is as fast as lightning. The entire cavalry battalion could only keep up with the horses, and in the blink of an eye, it had rushed out for more than twenty miles.
Although it is already bright now, the north bank of the Nanting River is foggy, and the still life around looks like a dream.
Mist-shrouded mountains, quietly flowing rivers, paths illuminated by the morning sun, and dense forests with a gentle breeze.
In the eyes of literati, this kind of scenery is of course beautiful. It must be Wenxing Dafa, and he must say a few nonsense words to show that he is very talented.
But on the battlefield, this kind of scenery is a fatal place, because you can't see it clearly.
The most dangerous places in the world are the places you can't see clearly.
The strictest problem in the world is the problem that you can't see clearly.
Now no one can see clearly in front of him, and naturally no one dares to guarantee that there is no danger.
The greatest advantage of cavalry is its speed, and the greatest power of cavalry is the impact of the phalanx.
But the cavalry placed on the sheep intestine path is not a cavalry, but a person who rides in a line.
In the history of mankind, there were many people riding horses, and there were many in this mountain in front of them, and there was basically no deterrent.
Pass, that is, there is a path between the two mountains.
The tea shop pass is a traffic pass between the imperial court and the southern ministries for tea and horse exchanges.
Originally, there was supposed to be an inspection office here, mainly to prevent smuggling among the people. But because the Tu people here have rebelled for many years, the Han officials in the inspection center have long been beheaded, so even the houses have been bulldozed.
Since the tea shop pass is called the pass, of course, there is a path between the two mountains, and it can only be crossed by two horses.
The hills on both sides of the pass are not high, and there are no thousand-year-old trees, but there are thatched grass and small bamboos that are more than one person high.
The path between the passes is not long, only less than 200 zhang.
Huang Yanying's sweaty BMW rushed by, and there was almost no time wasted.
The two hundred horsemen behind her were guarded by her own soldiers, and of course they also galloped past, and they also wasted no time.
The moment she rushed out of the pass, Huang Yanying had already seen thick smoke billowing from the south, indicating that it was the trapped forward troops.
When she found out about her trapped troops, Huang Yanying was even more anxious. The sweaty BMW can also feel the mood of the owner, so the speed is getting faster and faster under the flying of the four hooves.
Teng, Teng, Teng!
Suddenly, a lot of bamboo ropes popped up on the path. Yes, it's a rope woven from bamboo strips.
Bamboo ropes can be used for many things, such as tying wooden rafts, such as building suspension bridges.
But now the bamboo rope that bounces up from the path is neither to tie a wooden row or build a suspension bridge, but to kill people.
Whoosh - Since the sweat and blood BMW is called BMW, and it is known as Ryoma, it is naturally extraordinary.
At the same time as the tripwire bounced under his feet, the sweaty BMW had already taken off into the air, carrying Huang Yanying more than six feet away, and let go of the six tripwires.
Huang Yanying is a bloody BMW, but her two hundred personal soldiers are not. Although they are all good horses, they are definitely not able to catch up with the sweaty BMW.
Since it is not a bloody BMW, of course, it is impossible to have the ability of the angry dragon Tengyun, and it is impossible to dodge the more than a dozen fist-thick tripwires that bounce up in a row.
Puff, puff
At this sudden tripping rope, more than a dozen horses in front of the pro-soldier horse team suddenly rolled out, and the first few war horses fell to the ground at that time and broke their necks.
The pro-soldiers on horseback couldn't react at this moment, and when the horses rolled out, some of the pro-soldiers were directly thrown to death, and some of the pro-soldiers fell to the ground and were crushed to death by the tripping horses behind.
Whoosh-whoo
At this moment, a rain of arrows began to fly from the thatched grass on both sides of the tea shop, and a large number of rockets were mixed with it.
It's just bows and arrows and rockets, and the problem is not very serious. When Huang Yanying circled the horse and looked back, she suddenly became angry and spit out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that those whooshing sounds turned out to be countless throwing guns and pike darts.
These shuttle darts are very simple, that is, the large bamboo cut in the mountain sharpens the end, and then throws it out with all its might. An iron spearhead is installed in front of the throwing gun, which makes it even more lethal.
Because the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were wearing rattan armor, bows and arrows could not necessarily kill people, but the spears and pikes were powerful and had great penetrating power.
Now hundreds of enemies have suddenly appeared on the hills on both sides, condescendingly using pike darts and throwing guns, which can not only penetrate people, but even pierce the necks of horses.
The cavalry that was passing through the pass was not at all defenseless, and the terrain was narrow and could not be used, so they had no power to resist in the face of ambushes on both sides, and could only be slaughtered unilaterally.
In the blink of an eye, the advance of the cavalry battalion that rushed into the pass was killed by one or two hundred people. The carcasses of men and horses directly blocked the passage of the pass, blocking the follow-up troops to the north of the pass.
Now this terrain cavalry is useless at all, and there is nothing to be done except to conduct foot combat.
Huang Yanying had bloodshot on the corners of her mouth, and her face was hideous and terrifying, as if a mad tiger jumped up from a horse, pulled out her sword with a clatter, and pounced directly on the grass on the hill south of the pass.
"Kill—"
Huang Yanying screamed in her mouth, and the sword in her hand had already hacked three people to death.
The remaining more than 100 soldiers saw that their main general had already killed the mountain, and now they were naturally not willing to lag behind, and they did not dare to fall behind, so they pulled out their swords and rushed towards the mountain.
If you want to talk about personal cultivation, dozens of enemies come up together, and Huang Yanying doesn't care.
But in the battle in the dense forest, it is not enough to be strong in martial arts.
Just like now, the five enemies surrounded Huang Yanying in the middle, and then used the jungle to resist stubbornly.
If it is in the woods, Huang Yanying can also use the trunk and branches to borrow strength and fully show her light body skills.
But now it's all thatch, so Huang Yanying has no way to borrow strength, and most of the light work has been lost.
Moreover, the thatch is still very much in the way, and the sharp swordsmanship cannot be brought into play, and the sword can only be used as a machete, and it is impossible to quickly solve the battle.
Huang Yanying was entangled, and the captain of the pro-soldiers was also entangled by the three enemies, and the remaining 100-odd pro-soldiers could only fight on their own, and even fought more with less, and the casualty rate naturally increased sharply.
Entering the battle state, the Shangqing Mental Method finally played a role, allowing Huang Yanying's brain to slowly calm down, and finally able to observe the current overall situation.
Now the two small hills are already killing the sky, and the follow-up troops of the cavalry battalion have all given up their horses and killed the north mountain, and more than 300 people are rushing up to the south mountain.
It turned out that there were not many enemies ambushed here, and Huang Yanying's preliminary estimate was that there were about six or seven hundred people, which was much less than her own people.
"Don't panic, there are far fewer enemies than we do. Carry out the formation according to the usual drills, carry out a thorough encirclement and suppression of the enemy, and avenge the brothers who died in battle!"
While Huang Yanying raised her internal strength to give the order, she did not slow down at all.
The five guys besieging her saw that the enemy's reinforcements were increasing, and they were a little panicked, and the opportunity came.
Huang Yanying's bamboo shaking body technique was exerted to the extreme, first giving a chill to the guy on her right side, and then flew up and kicked the corpse and smashed it into the guy in front of her.
Huang Yanying's body took advantage of the momentum and immediately jumped back, and the sword in her hand returned to the wind and swept the willow, cutting off the neck of the guy on the left.
Killed two people in one move, and the remaining three guys turned around in fright and fled.
If they faced ordinary generals, the idea of the three guys fleeing separately was very right, but they didn't know that the female general opposite was a martial arts master.
The meaning of the martial arts master is that you can't leave her room to move.
The three guys fled separately, how could they be faster than Huang Yanying's light skills, isn't that death?
However, the enemy is going to die, and he has to die and struggle, hoping to pull a cushion on his back when he is dying.
Huang Yanying's figure flashed, and she had already killed two more people, wasting a breath of time.
The last guy saw that he couldn't escape at all, and the woman in front of him was simply a fairy, and her body was as unpredictable as a ghost.
One breath is not long, and one breath is too short compared to a person's life.
But in such a short period of time, he let the last enemy do one thing.
In the midst of all his busyness, the last guy actually threw away the long knife in his right hand, took out a thumb-thick bamboo tube from his belt like lightning and put it in his mouth, and then kept holding his breath.
Just when Huang Yanying flew over, and the sword had already pierced into his heart, this guy did not retreat but advanced, his body slammed forward, directly into Huang Yanying's arms, and then used his last strength to blow hard!
A cold light shot out of the bamboo tube and pierced Huang Yanying's neck!
