The men and horses blocking the entrance of the valley were Yiling soldiers who rushed to the planned ambush site. However, there might have been delays on the way, and they almost didn't arrive here as scheduled, missing the perfect opportunity to attack from both front and back.
In fact, when the scouts discovered them, their front army had just arrived. For a time, some people were also tired of horses. Later, when he saw Tang Hu spying alone and throwing arrows to show his power, he hurriedly shouted and tried his best to seize a favorable position and blocked the entrance of the valley layer by layer.
However, when the eldest prince heard Tang Hu's report, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Commander Qin, it's up to you!"
Since the opponent's foothold is not stable, it means that there is an opportunity to take advantage of. The eldest prince is not a fool and knows the importance of opportunities.
"Your Highness, Amaterasu is leaving!"
Qin Tianzhao was waiting for his order. Now that the situation was clear, rushing forward was the only way to survive.
"Brothers, rush!"
After that, he clamped his horse's belly, held the rein in his left hand, and held a spear in his right hand, facing the wind blowing from the mouth of the valley, and rushed quickly.
As soon as he moved, the three thousand Feihuying soldiers also shouted and followed closely.
This small valley was shaken by their shouts of killing for a moment.
…
Whizzing……
The soldiers of Yiling, whose formation was not yet complete, saw Qin Tianzhao coming menacingly, and panicked and fired arrows that didn't look very good at all.
This really didn't pose much of a threat to Qin Tianzhao. He just swept away a few arrows with his spear. With another strong push, the horse took a few big steps forward.
"Shoot the horse, shoot the horse!"
Here, Yiling's new deputy general Gan Xiong hurriedly reminded the archers in front.
Whizzing……
Another round of arrows shot over, this time, it looked a little better, and finally, some of the riders fell headlong.
However, the distance between the two sides was too close. Qin Tianzhao took the lead, with his spear flying, and he was already within twenty or thirty steps.
"Form up and come forward to meet us!"
Gan Xiong had a dark face and ordered loudly.
Then, the archers quickly retreated to make room for their comrades behind them.
A group of relatively calm men slammed their wooden shields on the ground, preparing to face the collision of the enemy's cavalry. Behind them, a row of brothers also raised their shields. In a hurry, they reluctantly organized five shield lines. Afterwards, it was Gan Xiong who brought hundreds of cavalry with him and quickly closed the defense line, preparing for a close encounter.
The mouth of the valley is not very wide, and there are only five or six riders walking together. Because of this, it becomes more and more crowded.
According to Gan Xiong's plan, it was too late to arrive, so he could only hope to block the enemy with a human wall. At the same time, some people and horses climbed as high as possible to both sides of the valley mouth, and from a high position, they shot them with arrows.
This can be considered a temporary solution he could come up with. There is no time to set up an ambush. The most ideal result is to achieve effective delay until Zhu Yunfei's men and horses chase from the mountains. Only in this way can there be some chance of winning.
boom!
Soon, with a shocking loud noise, Qin Tianzhao's black mount jumped into the air with its front legs and stepped down suddenly, trampling a shield-holding sergeant until his arm bones were broken. Before he could cry out, Qin Tianzhao followed up with another spear. He stabbed him in the neck and immediately complained.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers from the Feihu Camp rushing in front also followed. The sound of wooden shields being trampled was mixed with the roars of soldiers on both sides for a moment.
Everything happened in a matter of seconds. The five shield walls were ultimately no match for the brave Feihuying.
However, such a blockage actually slowed down the impact of Feihu Camp. After all, the terrain is narrow and the sergeants are densely packed. As the pace of the charge slows down, the impact force weakens accordingly.
