In an instant, arrows flew like locusts!
The 7,000 Quyang New Army troops have been nesting in this dark ravine for nearly ten days. They drink cold water and eat cold food all day long, especially when they are forced to eat Chu country take-out for the mosquitoes that come from ten miles away... Suffocated enough anger.
Now I really saw Qi Jun running into the ambush. While he was delighted with the reward he was about to receive for his meritorious service, he also had personal grudges caused by mosquito bites all over his body.
Why did you come so late!
I'll beat you to death!
Although the 7,000 Quyang new troops lacked combat experience, they were well-trained and well-disciplined. For a time, they could only see tens of thousands of arrows attacking from the mountains and forests, but there was not even a single cry.
These arrows are not the highly penetrating iron crossbow arrows equipped by the personal barracks.
But for these Qi army garrison soldiers without armor, this ordinary wooden repeating crossbow has enough lethality.
Although the Qi army numbered 60,000, at least half of them were strong men temporarily captured by the generals from various places after hearing that the Chu army had invaded the country. The serious garrison soldiers at least have a shield in their hands...these unlucky guys who make up for it temporarily cannot avoid it.
The arrows flew towards the Qi army in a mess in the middle of the road, like a large black cloud.
The sound of arrows piercing flesh, the sound of swords and shields striking arrows, and the miserable howls of Qi soldiers rose to the sky.
Although the mountain road is not too narrow, it is not too wide either - 60,000 people are lined up, and it is as endless as a long queue.
Xiong Wuliang's seven thousand soldiers attacked the tail of the dragon, while the head of the dragon was stunned. Hearing the shocking screams from behind, they couldn't help but stop.
"what happened?"
"Ambush!"
"The Chu people's ambush! The Chu people are so shameless!"
Tian Yao was shocked! He hurriedly drew his sword and shouted: "No chaos! Form a formation! Form a formation!"
"Raise your shield! Welcome the arrow attack!"
Fell into a trap!
It was only at this moment that Tian Yao finally understood the plan of Qu Yanghou of Chu State!
This strategy is not simply a 'tactic to lure the enemy', nor is it a simple 'attack in the east and attack in the west'... but a combination of the two into one, plus the use of the Qi army's eagerness to pursue the enemy...
The 60,000 Qi troops were eager to pursue, and they were already convinced that the "main force of the Chu army" was in the west. Therefore, they were unprepared and plunged into the pocket of the real main force of the Chu army, which had never shown its face.
Xiong Wuliang, you are playing with human nature like this! Cunning and vicious!
Arrows were raining down, Tian Yao and a group of Qi generals gathered together, while the soldiers on the outside held up shields and tried their best to resist the arrows, even using their bodies to resist.
In this situation, how can Tian Yao effectively convey orders?
"Look at this posture! There are at least tens of thousands of Chu troops!" The Jucheng guard stared at Tian Yao angrily.
The other generals also glared at Tian Yao!
It was this person who led everyone into the encirclement!
You are an undercover agent of Chu State, right?
The Qi army suffered heavy casualties in the valley and trampled on countless others.
…
"The arrows have been shot!" Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "The new army attacks!"
Seven thousand people, each carrying thirty arrows... more than two hundred thousand arrows have been poured out in one breath!
The morale of the seven thousand Quyang new army was greatly boosted, they raised their shields and formed a battle formation - the rumbling Chu war drums finally sounded, and the seven thousand soldiers, like tigers that had been holding back for a long time, swooped towards the Qi army in the valley, which was already in chaos.
How can the Qi army resist?
Anyone who resisted was cut down like grass.
Tian Yao's face turned pale!
He stood on the chariot and could see clearly - there were more than three thousand Chu troops.
"Chu people are shameless! Mi Liang is treacherous!" Tian Yao drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Don't be obsessed with fighting - rush out of the valley!"
In a long and narrow area like the valley, although the Qi army was large, it was difficult to form a formation and could not take advantage of the large number of people.
Only rush out of the valley!
Get out of the valley! There is a way!
As long as you rush out, the worst case scenario is setting the mountain on fire!
Tian Yao slashed his sword and knocked down a panicked Qi soldier. His face was ferocious and full of blood, like an evil ghost: "The Chu army is small in number. Don't panic. Follow the order - fight to the west." valley……"
Xiong Wuliang ambushed the rear of the Qi army's marching column.
At present, the entrance to the valley over there has been blocked by the Chu army.
The group of Chu soldiers covered in armor were like scythes cutting grass, advancing crazily. The corpses of Qi soldiers piled up like mountains wherever they passed... It was impossible to rush out of the valley mouth on the east side, so we could only go west. Face to face!
After all, the Qi army has a large number of people - although it has suffered heavy casualties, the remaining number far exceeds the Chu army!
As long as he rushes out of the valley and gets rid of the current chaos... then he will set up a battle array and fight to the death with the insidious Chu Dog, and the outcome is uncertain!
"Kill! Kill to the west!"
"Come out of the valley!" the desperate Qi soldiers roared.
In fact, there was no need for Tian Yao to give orders - Xiong Wuliang's 7,000 new troops were slaughtering in the east. Anyone in their right mind would subconsciously run away to the west.
Tens of thousands of Qi troops swarmed toward the mouth of the valley in the west like a tide.
Along the way they were trampled and killed, and countless others died from fighting among themselves.
Xiong Wuliang was sitting on the hillside. Seeing that the Qi army was about to rush out of the west valley mouth, he did not panic at all. He just waved his hand: "Speed up and press forward!"
Zhao Hua stood with his hands behind his back, standing behind Xiong Wuliang.
Zhong Hua drew his sword in his hand and guarded Xiong Wuliang's side.
The eight hundred soldiers under his command are ready to go!
…
Tian Yao buried his head and rushed forward, finally leading the Qi army to the entrance of the valley!
Seeing that the sunlight outside the valley was about to shine on his body, Tian Yao was so happy that he burst out laughing!
"General... why is the general laughing?"
Tian Yao made a move with the long sword in his hand, his eyes filled with the ecstasy of surviving the disaster: "I laugh at the fact that Marquis Quyang is so clueless that he doesn't know how to use troops!"
"If I use troops..."
"Leave an army here. When our soldiers are tired and exhausted, we will wait for work and then suddenly attack..."
"What will happen?"
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
Tian Yao couldn't stop laughing, and Sunshine's voice infected many Qi soldiers who looked defeated.
right!
Just rush out of the valley and line up to fight!
The advantage is mine!
A trace of cruelty flashed in Tian Yao's eyes——
Xiong Wuliang, this opponent is too terrifying! He is scheming, cunning, and seems to have no moral bottom line... Qi State and Chu State have become enemies, and this person is a serious problem!
Today, this opponent finally missed a move... allowing him to recover after being ambushed!
Even if I risk my life on the battlefield today, I have to deal with this Xiong Wuliang here!
Tian Yao waved his sword and shouted: "Xiong Wuliang is no good, I treat him like a piece of grass!"
"Commanders of the three armies, rush out of the valley! Form a formation to fight the enemy!"
"This general will lead you to meritorious service! Cut off Mi Liang's head and hang it on the flagpole to show that our great Qi Kingdom is inviolable!"
The morale of the defeated soldiers of the Qi army was greatly boosted, and their pace became a little faster.
The generals from all over the Qi Kingdom also put away their resentment towards Tian Yao - now that the matter has come to this, we can only work together and fight to the death! Rush out of the valley and regroup! Kill Xiong Wuliang! Wash away the shame!
…
We are about to rush out of the west valley mouth.
At the mouth of the valley, the drums suddenly sounded loudly! Out of nowhere, countless Chu flags with yellow backgrounds and red letters appeared instantly! One of the Hou flags is clearly visible - 'Quyang Houliang'!
"What!" Tian Yao was shocked! His body almost fell off the chariot, and he lost his grip on the iron sword in his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
"What!" Qi's soldiers, who were still immersed in ecstasy, exclaimed one after another!
Under the banner of the Chu Army, Shao Hu, who had been sitting upright for a long time, stood up slowly, with a proud smile on his lips: "I have been waiting here for a long time!"
"Kill! Kill all the Qi army!" Shaohu pulled out the iron sword from his waist and waved his arms fiercely!
