Yuan Xi ordered his soldiers to set up a simple wooden platform and let the archers take their positions on it. He also climbed up and occupied a position.
Compared with close combat, another advantage of Yuan Xi is that his archery skills are acceptable.
Archery is an essential skill for famous generals in ancient times. If you want to be outstanding, you may need extremely high talent, but if you want to get started, you can just use bows and arrows.
Although the initial investment cost is not low, the trained archers are still very cost-effective.
No matter how powerful a general is in martial arts, there is no one who is not extremely vigilant about bows and arrows. Whether fighting alone or fighting against a group of heroes, it still depends on personal bravery. A stray arrow shot by a small soldier can inadvertently kill a general on the battlefield.
Dahong was ready at this time, leading thousands of soldiers to climb the mountain and attack.
Yuan Xi saw that the enemy was approaching through the cover of trees, and was about to be within the range of the bow and arrow. He thought that the Black Mountain Army was more difficult to deal with than he thought.
Not to mention that half of those people were dead and were not completely defeated. Even the reinforcements that arrived later were faster and more secretive than Yuan Xi expected.
This made Yuan Xi suddenly wake up from his initial complacency. After all, the Black Mountain Army was the overlord of the Black Mountain Army that Yuan Shao had tried his best but failed to completely annihilate. It had been in Black Mountain for more than ten years!
Seeing that the opponent had entered the shooting range, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed diagonally upward and let go. The arrow flew out. The bow and arrow drew an arc and fell downwards. With a pop, it rubbed the body of a leading soldier of the Montenegrin Army. , nailed into the soil.
The soldier was startled, raised his head and yelled a few curses, which were heard from afar. On the battlefield where there was only the sound of climbing, it was particularly clear.
Yuan Xi shouted: "Shoot!"
He gave an order, and hundreds of longbows opened at the same time. There was a loud bang, and a dense rain of arrows covered the Black Mountain Army who was climbing the mountain.
The soldiers of the Montenegrin Army were caught off guard. Someone was hit by an arrow and screamed. He lost his footing and rolled down the hillside. He suddenly became confused and hurriedly found a place to hide.
Then another wave of arrows followed.
Dahong saw that the soldiers around him were being hit by arrows one after another. The bows and arrows from the opposite side seemed to be free of charge. They had fired more than ten rounds without stopping!
He pulled out a feathered arrow lying in the ground beside him, flicked the arrowhead with his fingers, and when he heard the jingling sound, he judged that it was a fine iron arrowhead, and it was not light in weight!
Hell, these few arrowheads can be made into a gun head. Is the Youzhou Army so rich?
Da Hong roared: "Use trees to cover your approach and kill them all!"
After hearing this, everyone tried to poke their heads out, but the waves of arrows suppressed them and they could not move. Seeing their companions falling to the ground one after another, some people began to get scared and prepared to slowly slip down.
Seeing that Dahong was trapped halfway up the mountain, Yang Feng was in a dilemma and said, "Let them come down."
Immediately, a nimble messenger went up and found Dahong. After hearing this, Dahong said angrily: "If I come down, won't I lose all my face?"
"Let Leader Yang wait a moment and watch me!"
After saying that, he ignored it and continued climbing with his soldiers.
When Yang Feng heard the report from the messenger, he sneered: "Even if you can get up, you're almost dead. Are you so unclear?"
"All forward soldiers wearing armor, come up with me and bring them back!"
After hearing this, several leaders looked at each other and saw that Yang Feng had already started climbing the mountain with his personal guards and wooden shields. They had no choice but to gather their soldiers with armor and shields and follow Yang Feng up.
Yang Feng held up the wooden shield, and arrows kept falling. Some hit the trees and the ground, some hit the armor with a clanking sound, and some hit the wooden shield with a heavy clanking sound.
When Yang Feng heard the shouting of killing coming from the mountain, she understood that Dahong had already fought with the opponent. She couldn't help but her face darkened. Was she losing her mind in order to compete for the top spot?
But Da Hong is also quite brave, he should be able to hold on before he leads people up the mountain, right?
Since his line of sight was blocked by the wooden shield, Yang Feng could not clearly see the scene on the mountain, so he had to walk up patiently. After a while, the opponent may have noticed that the arrows were not effective, and the arrows became sparse.
Yang Feng took the lead and led dozens of people to the top of the mountain. When she removed the wooden shield and saw the scene clearly on the mountain, she couldn't help but be surprised.
There were not many Montenegrin soldiers standing in front of them. The ground was full of dead bodies. The flood had almost wiped out the whole army!
Before Yang Feng realized what was going on, the Youzhou Army rushed out from inside the diagonal stab. When Yang Feng saw it, she quickly called on everyone to resist. She threw away her wooden shield and raised her spear to meet them.
After a face-to-face encounter, Yang Feng discovered that these soldiers were not simple!
The first few people were holding large shields covered with iron sheets. Yang Feng stabbed several times, but was blocked. The other spearmen of the other side took the opportunity to use their guns in the gaps in the shields, knocking down several of Yang Feng's men. Guard.
When Yang Feng saw it, he turned around and came to the opponent's flank, only to find that several short crossbows had been raised and pointed at him!
Yang Feng quickly covered her head and face with her arm armor. She heard a series of ding-ding-ding sounds, and several crossbow arrows hit her vital parts. Fortunately, the armor blocked her and did not hit her.
But others were not so lucky. They had much less armor than Yang Feng. They were hit by arrows on their limbs, heads and faces, and fell to the ground instantly. At such a close distance, there was not much chance to react!
During this delay, several more shield soldiers moved in front of Yang Feng to fill the gap.
Now Yang Feng finally understood. This kind of formation with several people working together is quite skillful and highly targeted. They might be able to use cavalry to rush away on the flat ground, but when fighting on the mountain, they can only rush forward forcefully!
She shouted, "Come forward with the spear and stab the opponent's legs and feet!"
After hearing this, the Black Mountain soldiers crouched down and stabbed the Youzhou army randomly. At that moment, several people from the Youzhou army were shot and fell to the ground.
Several people from the Youzhou Army immediately shouted: "The big shield has fallen to the ground!"
"Push forward!"
The shield fell down, with the bottom pressed hard against the ground and pushed forward. Between the gaps in the shield, the ring-shou knife and the iron spear kept thrusting out, forcing Yang Feng to retreat one after another.
In such a rugged place on the mountain, this kind of formation is like a hedgehog, making it difficult for people to start. Yang Feng was annoyed. He had never fought such a frustrating battle!
Seeing that Dahong was surrounded in the distance, Yang Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Ignore them, attack with all your strength and rescue Dahong!"
After hearing this, her men roared angrily and rushed towards Da Hong.
Over there, Tian Yu directed everyone to surround Dahong, but he saw a female general in fiery red armor rushing over with her men in the distance.
When Tian Yu saw it, he drew his Huanshou sword and faced him.
As soon as they fought, he realized something was wrong.
The female general on the opposite side had exquisite marksmanship. Although she was not as good as Zhao Yun, she was very cunning and secretive with her spear. Tian Yuhuan's first strike was a short one against a long one, and he was forced to be at a disadvantage for a while!
Yuan Xi saw that the two sides were already fighting in a melee on the wooden platform, and his bows and arrows were no longer effective, so he led people to support Tian Yu.
Tian Yu was forced back by Yang Feng's spear. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yuan Xi leading his troops and said, "Be careful, this person's martial arts are not bad!"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Feng had already turned his gun and strode towards Yuan Xi!
This is the moment she has been waiting for!
When Yuan Xi saw Yang Feng rushing toward him, he began to retreat extremely quickly.
Just like he has an informant in the Black Mountain Army, the Black Mountain Army must also have a traitor in the Youzhou Army, so it is not surprising that his appearance and other things are known to the Black Mountain Army.
This kind of thing cannot be checked cleanly, and there is no need to check it excessively, otherwise it will affect the morale of the military.
The two parties locked in a deadly battle had learned some information about each other before the war began. Of course, there was also a lot of information that they had not obtained.
Just like the time when Yuan Xi sent troops, Yang Feng's subsequent reinforcement movements.
Yuan Xi knew that his dispatch of troops would definitely be communicated to the Montenegrin Army. He could not hide it, so he used another method to prevent the news from being transmitted.
As long as he ran fast enough, the news of his dispatch of troops would not reach the Montenegro Army in time.
He sent troops from Beixin City, using a large number of idle mules and horses, and ran all the way from Zhuo County to Changshan County, entered the northern pass of Taihang Mountain, and set up a stronghold halfway.
If the other party sees a stronghold on the mountain, they will definitely attack it and cannot ignore it.
Yu Digen, who was in the vanguard, was indeed ambushed, but what Yuan Xi did not expect was that the Black Mountain Army soldiers who followed came much faster than expected.
This shows that the two sides wanted to go together, but the military mountain road in Montenegro was difficult to walk, and Yuan Xi used animal power. One and the other increased, and Yuan Xi gained some advantages.
But the other side will not sit still and wait for death. They have obviously found out the details of Yuan Xi herself. This female general in red armor is obviously here for Yuan Xi!
When Yuan Xi saw the opponent rushing towards him, he raised his sword in his hand and pointed it diagonally at the opponent. At the same time, he stepped back continuously and was about to retreat into the camp.
He thought very simply. If the opponent dares to come and kill him alone, he is naturally good at martial arts, so he can just run away. When the time comes, he will return to the camp and see if you still dare to chase him?
Unexpectedly, he saw the female general on the opposite side suddenly speed up her steps. With a few steps, she flexibly bypassed the soldiers in front of Yuan Xi and rushed straight over!
Tian Yu was shocked at this time. He had also noticed this female general before and thought that her movements were at best a second- or third-rate expert. Unexpectedly, the opponent's pace accelerated, several times faster than before!
Only then did Tian Yu realize that he had been tricked!
Is it very possible that the other party is here for Yuan Xi!
He hurriedly pushed aside the chaotic soldiers around him and chased Yang Feng, but he couldn't catch up for a while!
Yang Feng blinked a few times and arrived more than a foot in front of Yuan Xi. Seeing that he was close to the distance where he could draw his gun, Yuan Xi started to retreat quickly.
When Yang Feng saw Yuan Xi's steps, he was immediately surprised. The opponent's steps back used all the strength from his ankles, calves, and even thighs, and his movements were like flowing water!
Yang Feng has been practicing martial arts for many years, and at first glance, it seems that the opponent's steps are being guided by an expert. This fierce tiger of the Yuan family really has two skills!
She accelerated her feet again, bypassing the two soldiers who came up to intercept him, feinting left and right, and approached Yuan Xi again, one forward and one backward. The distance between the two was once again shortened by two feet. She was already close to the distance where she could kill him with a gun. !
Yang Feng made a decisive decision, shook her hand, and the iron gun in her hand was like a poisonous dragon, whistling towards Yuan Xi's throat!
