One after another tree fell from the mountain top at the entrance of the valley, and the burning sparks were like falling meteors. Huan
Meteors fell to the ground, sparks flew everywhere, and people flipped over. This sudden blow from the sky made the Qin army's pursuit seem to have been pressed on the pause button.
While everyone was stunned, many figures stood up in the grass on the hillsides on both sides of the valley, forming an arrow formation. One group held repeating crossbows, and the other lit rockets.
"Great wind!"
"Great wind!"
Following an order, thousands of arrows were fired, and the whistling arrows swept across the Qin army like a strong wind.
Fan Chou, who was riding a tall horse and giving orders all the time, became the target of everyone's fire. He was hit by hundreds of arrows in the first wave of attacks.
Fan Chou could only try to protect his head with his sword. The arrows hit the armor with a thud. A dozen arrows penetrated the gaps in the armor and pierced into his body. Blood dripped and he suddenly turned into a hedgehog. Even the war horse was hit by several arrows. The frantic war horse threw the seriously injured Fan Chou down, rushed towards the Chu army's formation and was stabbed to death by a spear. Huan
"General!" "General!"
It's too late, but it's soon. From the time the tree fell to the time when the archers showed up to launch an attack, it only took about ten breaths.
Fan Chou's confidants and guards exclaimed, and surrounded him under the cover of the shield bearer, barely forming a line of defense to resist the second round of shooting.
All the stocks of the repeating crossbows carried by the Habayashi Army were used here.
The continuous arrows were as dense as raindrops, and the soldiers without shield protection fell like wheat blown by the wind. Many were not mortally wounded and could only wail in the hail of arrows.
The fierce offensive made it impossible for the Qin army's archers to fight back. As the falling fire arrows burned weeds and corpses, the charred fire brought up bursts of thin smoke. This is no longer a battlefield, but a massacre.
The vanguard of the Qin army was basically composed of slave soldiers, but at this moment, the fear ahead surpassed the blades in the hands of the officers. Huan
The officers could no longer restrain the chaotic soldiers and scrambled to retreat behind them. The originally wide valley mouth was now like a crowded honeycomb, densely packed.
Trees fall one by one, ruthlessly harvesting life. But the soldiers on the mountain top were obviously not pushing the heavy wood very fast. The hope of escape drove the soldiers to take risks.
Is this still the prey that just escaped?
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The news from the front made Zhang Ji collapse.
There were at least five to six thousand people ambushed on both sides of the valley!
Why are there so many people in the Yulin Army? Huan
Wei Yan! Wei Yan's people are here!
Zhang Ji almost entered the valley and was panicking to retreat outside the valley. He didn't know how Fan Chou was doing, but he didn't dare to stay long.
Sure enough, as expected.
On the other side of Laojun Mountain, another army of soldiers and horses came out as far as the eye could see. There were as many as eight or nine thousand people. The leading general shouted loudly from a distance.
"Wei Yan is here, can the enemy general dare to fight?"
What are the Shu troops doing?
Just let Wei Yan leave the battlefield? Huan
The souls of Zhang Ji are all gone.
He could never have guessed that the Shu army, nestled in Chengdu, had given up even Guanghan, and the entire northern border of Shu had basically become the garden of the Chu army.
At this moment, although Zhang Ji still has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, the morale of the army is already in chaos. The so-called defeat is like a mountain. If we continue to fight hard, there will be no way to survive today.
Right now it would be better to retreat dozens of miles to regroup.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Zhang Ji led the Qin army to escape crazily.
In the valley, after ten rounds of arrow rain, Lu Xun's troops defeated the enemy troops who rushed forward and wanted to break through from the front. Huan
"Those who put down their weapons will not be killed!"
Lu Xun's voice penetrated the battlefield, and the archers on both sides stopped attacking.
The wailing wounded soldiers and the Qin troops rushing towards the valley entrance under the cover of shields couldn't help but cast their eyes on the young man.
Lu Xun's face was cold and solemn, and he shouted again.
"The Chu army will not kill
Surrender, do not accept slaves. All surrendered soldiers can join the Chu army, or they can distribute land after the war and cultivate it for the Chu state. "
At this point, both the slave soldiers, who had long lost their will to fight, and the officers supervising the battle, all obediently put down their weapons. At this time, Lu Xun knew that Fan Chou, who fell from his horse, died shortly after falling from his horse.
On the other side, the Qin army fled for more than ten miles and returned to the camp that the Chu army had abandoned. Huan
Zhang Ji was about to lead his army through. Suddenly, more than a thousand people appeared from the mountains and forests on both sides. They lit fire arrows in their hands and fell into the camp. The wooden fences piled up in the camp suddenly caught fire, turning the wide road into a portal of flames.
Damn it!
For a moment, Zhang Ji even wanted to order his soldiers to rush up the mountain and kill all the two thousand Chu troops, and fight to the death with the Chu troops today!
But he quickly calmed down, because the situation at this moment was worse than before! It was a fatal situation, and the camp that had just begun to burn could not completely prevent the Qin army from retreating, but only delayed their steps.
"Rush over!"
Zhang Ji felt that his voice was trembling.
The soldiers of the Qin army fought desperately through the fire. If they dragged on any longer and the fire burned bigger, they would not be able to escape. Huan
"Great wind!"
"Great wind!"
Seeing the Qin army behind them, Wei Yan led his troops to attack. Huo Yi, who had been hiding in the mountains earlier, immediately led two thousand Yu Lin troops to kill them from both sides.
The Chinese army led by Zhang Ji was an elite force of the Qin army, and its strength was quite good. They fought with the Yulin army for a long time, and only surrendered after seeing the fire blocking their way back. In this battle, Zhang Ji only escaped with more than a thousand soldiers and horses.
Wei Yan asked people to arrange for prisoners and called Han Zong and Huo Yi. He did not intend to let Zhang Ji go just like that.
"Zhang Ji has 5,000 troops behind him, and Zi Tong has 10,000 troops. It's my turn to hunt them down this time!"
"Three thousand Yulin troops, five thousand Shu troops, and all the Qin troops on the other side of the valley have surrendered to you. Huo Yi, you lead three thousand troops to control Bajun, Badong, and Brazil. The rest of the people are Leave it to Lu Xun and ask him to build a defense line in Guanghan to resist the Shu army. In the worst case scenario, you must defend Mianzhu." Xiang
"Don't worry, General."
Huo Yi did not dare to neglect and quickly accepted the order with his fists clasped.
Then, Wei Yan continued.
"Han Zong, I will hand over the seven thousand Shu troops to you. Follow me. We have to capture Zhang Ji and Zitong. We cannot let the Qin people point their spears at our butts."
Han Zong said excitedly.
"General, how about you lead the seven thousand surrender troops, and I will lead the three thousand Yu Lin Army to open the way? I promise to catch Zhang Ji before he enters Zitong City!"
Huo Yi, who had not yet gone far, shrank his head, and Wei Yan's cold eyes glanced at Han Zong. Huan
"How about you and Huo Yi change?"
Han Zong's expression froze and he quickly licked his face and said.
"General, I'm just kidding, seven thousand is just seven thousand!"
At this point, the battle of Laojun Mountain came to an end, and the Yulin army divided into two groups again, but this time it was Wei Yan who pursued the Qin army.
