Wu Nianjun's twenty-two spies had six pieces of armor, four crossbows, and eight bows.
“Whoosh whoosh!!!!”
The archer held a strong bow and his eyes were like those of an eagle. After taking aim, he let go of the bowstring. With a loud tremor, eight arrows shot at the three war horses like lightning.
"Pfft. Pfft."
"Ahhh!"
None of the eight arrows missed, and all hit the horse. However, only one of the horses fell down, and the other two horses were injured and frightened. The horses neighed, broke away from the traction of the Goguryeo spies like crazy, and galloped forward.
"Click, click."
The four-handled crossbow was held by four Wu Nianjun spies. After taking aim, they pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrows shoot out straight and are much more powerful than bows and arrows. But two shots missed. Only two Goguryeo spies were shot.
"Pfft. Pfft."
"ah!!!"
A Goguryeo spy was shot in the neck and died instantly. One person was shot through the left lung and fell to the ground with a shrill scream.
"There is an ambush!!! Seek cover on the spot."
The leader of the Goguryeo spies shouted. He led the remaining spies and hid on nearby rocks. In the process, three more people were shot, injured, or died.
Only six of them successfully hid behind a large rock and did not dare to move for a while.
"Archers and crossbowmen take cover. Those in armor follow me." Li Ding, a small flag wearing armor, stood up and strode down the mountain, followed by two people on the left and right.
Xiaoqi Zhangbing on the opposite mountain also led two people down the mountain.
The six of them strode towards the rock.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!" Six Goguryeo spies popped up and shot arrows at Zhang Bing, Li Ding and the other six people.
"Pfft. Ah!!!"
Zhang Bing, Li Ding and other six people were all wearing armor and very vigilant, but one person was shot dead and three others were shot.
"Pfft, pfft."
"Ahhhh!!!"
The archers and crossbowmen of Wu Nianjun who were covering on both sides immediately counterattacked to cover. He also shot and wounded three Goguryeo spies.
Zhang Bing, Li Ding and the other five looked at their dead brother on the ground, their eyes turned red, and then they roared angrily. He quickly pounced on the big rock. Then, wearing armor, they started hand-to-hand combat with the Goguryeo spies hiding behind the big rocks, and killed them all.
Wu Nianjun's wounded soldiers were not seriously injured. He took off his armor and treated the wounds, and then there was nothing serious. They immediately stripped off the war coats of the Goguryeo spies, picked up weapons, bows and arrows and other items, then took their dead brothers and left here with Qin Guangyang brother.
Although the weather is very hot now, there is no need to worry that leaving corpses will cause plague.
The corpse of the Goguryeo spy will soon become a meal for animals.
The activities of Xiaoqi Li Ding, Zhang Bing and Qin Guangyang are not isolated cases. The spies sent by Wu Nianjun, with the help of the Han people who supported Wu Nian, quickly and fiercely pulled out the spies placed by the Goguryeo army.
The whole process was almost an ambush, a one-sided massacre by Wu Nianjun's spies.
The spies had contact with the Goguryeo army. After the defeat of groups of spies, the Goguryeo army quickly received the message.
Right Army.
Under the banner of "Zhao". Zhao Mancheng wears white armor and a silver spear, rides a horse, and looks heroic. The Goguryeo army formed a long queue and marched hard on the mountain road.
Zhao Mancheng looked alert, holding the spear tightly in his right hand, not daring to relax at all.
"Da da da." A soldier on horseback caught up with Zhao Mancheng from behind and reported with an ugly face: "General. We have lost contact with most of the spies. A few escaped and said they were ambushed. ”
Zhao Mancheng's eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were bulging, and his face was full of shock. The spies interact with each other and cannot be one-sided.
It is even less likely that they will all be ambushed.
There is only one possibility. The other party's spies can clearly detect our spies and then conduct an ambush.
This is impossible.
No.
possible.
Zhao Mancheng quickly understood the problem. There must be Han people who tipped off Wu Nianjun. No matter how powerful and astute their spies are, operating under the eyes of countless Han people, how could they not become targets?
Zhao Mancheng's teeth were almost broken and he said: "I have always known that Wu Nian is popular among the Han people. Countless Han people are willing to die for Wu Nian."
"But this is Guangyang Mansion. The Mongolian people have ruled this place for nearly ten years. Why can the Han people help him to this extent?"
"The Liaodong tiger is really a tiger named after Liaodong."
"Give me the order. Call all the spies back and don't send them out any more. You just lost your life in vain. Let the soldiers be on alert and be ready to fight at any time."
Speaking of this, Zhao Mancheng's face turned ugly. Without the help of spies, Wu Nian could ambush anywhere in these high mountains.
When encountering an ambush, they had no choice but to resist.
There is no other way.
"Yes." The faces of the soldiers were also very solemn. Many of them responded and rode down to convey the order. After the Goguryeo soldiers of the right army received the order, they suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. The marching speed slowed down, and he looked at the mountains on both sides with vigilance.
It seemed that at any moment a colorful tiger might swoop down from the mountain and eat them.
............
Goguryeo lost its descendants.
Rear Army.
The forward, middle and rear troops walked along the official road and lined up in a straight line. The road is flat and wide.
The soldiers of the rear army were arranged in five rows, forming a long snake shape. Compared with the two armies on the left and right taking small paths, the formation is much thicker and the ability to withstand attacks is greatly enhanced.
But their spies are the same, they are also scattered among the mountains and mountains, acting as eyes and ears.
The spies seemed like the lights in every house in a tall building, extinguished one by one.
Under the banner of "李". Li Yunchong's face could no longer remain calm, and became more solemn.
"Zhao Mancheng is right. If we don't prepare to withdraw our troops with the mentality of annihilation, it is really possible that the entire army will be annihilated. Wu Nian's army is very strong, but no matter how strong it is, I am confident that it can handle it. We have many people."
"But. The terrain, people and people are all on Wu Nian's side."
"I am now alone deep into the enemy's country."
"It's careless. It's careless. We were really careless in sending troops this time. We only saw the benefits of the second government land promised by Meng Yuan, and did not delve into the risks involved."
The Yalu River is not easy to live with.
If only there was a next time. Li Yunchong will definitely oppose sending troops fiercely and resolutely.
The wind has changed.
It became scary, scary. Goguryeo's 42,000 troops were like blind and deaf men, retreating along the road to the east.
Wu Nianjun, who had spies, knew the march route of Goguryeo very clearly.
The Goguryeo army had no secrets in front of him.
