Under the cold moonlight, the vast land seemed to come alive. Looking up, under the bright moon, two cliffs stood on both sides. Lush trees stretched out from the cliffs, and a few slightly dry branches. It seems to be holding up the bright moon quietly.
The end is a work of uncanny workmanship.
However, before Ying Shen had time to marvel at the magic of nature, he suddenly discovered that under the majestic cliff, there was a pool of faint black shadows shaking.
Cliffs, shadows, shaking...
Ying Xi very much hoped that it was just the swaying trees in the mountains, but unfortunately, the slight wind blowing by him told him that it was not capable of blowing such tall and strong trees from side to side.
Then, there is only one possibility.
Ying Xi's heart gradually sank into the ice cellar.
At this moment, as if to confirm Ying Xi's judgment, the bright moonlight was suddenly blocked. It was a rain of arrows that covered the sky. The arrows made of fine iron glowed under the moonlight. The cold light of man.
"Enemy attack!" Ying Xi shouted this sentence immediately. This was the sentence he least wanted to hear.
As soon as he finished speaking, dense arrows slammed into the Qin army's array like rain, and wailing sounds instantly filled the entire queue.
Fortunately, the soldiers around Ying Xi reacted in time, using small shields in their hands or their own bodies to finally protect Ying Xi. However, in order to avoid the sudden rain of arrows, Ying Xi had to "leap off" his horse, and his figure was a little embarrassed.
Immediately afterwards, the shield bearer not far behind immediately followed up and tightly protected Ying Xi.
As soon as the shield formation established a defensive line, Zhao Jun's second arrow rain had already reached the top of Qin Jun's head. With a few swishes, the arrow rain again entered the queue of Qin Jun that had not yet stopped.
Obviously, being able to carry out continuous arrow rain attacks in such a short period of time means that the army on the opposite side is obviously well-trained and has good combat effectiveness.
At the same time, Zhao Wei's 30,000-strong army also broke the silence and began to take action. Huge boulders and rolling logs rushed down the hillside towards the Qin army in the valley. Bundles of hay were doused with fire. Oil fell into the Qin army's array in a mighty manner, followed by a salvo of rockets, and the entire valley road was instantly ignited.
Outside the shield, the clanging sound of arrows colliding with the Qin army's soldiers fell to the ground and wailed.
Ying Xi knew that he had to make a quick decision, whether to rush through a gap from the front, or to retreat immediately and withdraw from the way he came.
Obviously neither path is easy to follow.
Enter? Zhao Jun has obviously been lying in wait for a long time. The two cliffs standing in front of them can be said to be "a barrier that cannot be opened by one man." It is self-evidently difficult to open a gap.
retreat? Not to mention whether it would cause chaos to the entire army, the army at the rear knew that the Zhao army would be heavily guarded, and it would be difficult to break out of the encirclement.
But now the Qin army can no longer wait.
Because the smell of barbecued meat has reached Ying Shen's nose - it is obvious that Zhao Jun has begun a brutal fire attack in this dry summer.
If there is another moment of delay, I am afraid that all the Qin army will be perished in the sea of fire.
Ying Se gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "The whole army mounts up and heads south. I will personally open a bloody road for you all!"
With that said, he pushed away the shield formation surrounding him, mounted his horse again, crossed his legs and charged towards the Zhao army in the distance.
In fact, up to now, whether Ying Xie chose to retreat from the north or decided to break out from the Qifeng Mountain pass in the south, it was of no use, or in other words, they were both correct. As long as he makes a decision, it is the best decision. Because no matter which path you choose, you will have a narrow escape from death, but if you hesitate, you will have no chance of death.
Ying Xi finally chose to charge straight to the Qifeng Mountain pass, perhaps because of the influence of heroism - he would rather die on the way to charge than on the way to retreat. But it's not just that.
From Ying Seng's point of view, he sent troops without orders and was ambushed, causing the whole army to be in trouble. This is a sin that cannot be redeemed until death. In this case, it is better to fight with your own life for the sake of
The army under his command fought to give him a chance to survive. Although the front is a dangerous pass that "one man can pass but ten thousand men cannot open it", but because of this, perhaps Zhao Jun did not place too many troops here.
Just do what you say, and in the blink of an eye Ying Xie has already galloped out on his war horse, and Ying Xie's soldiers reacted very quickly, and immediately mounted their war horses and followed Ying Xie away.
The role of role models is undoubtedly huge! Especially the example of risking one's life is their general!
Then, when the Qin soldiers who were still running behind saw this, they followed their general and rushed away in the same manner.
It's a pity that what they faced was not a hundred, not a thousand, but a full 10,000 Zhao troops.
Just a single formation of horse-rejecting spears was enough to crush the Qin army's hopes, and even faster, the almost non-stop rain of arrows in the air was not a surprise.
The short distance of a hundred meters, which should have been reached with a single charge, was like a chasm at this moment.
Although Ying Shou was wearing the most exquisite armor, even though the soldiers on the side risked their lives to shield Ying Shou from the rain of arrows, trying to escort their general out of the siege.
But obviously, in the narrow passage that was only big enough for four riders to pass together, there was no way to avoid the dense rain of arrows. As the distance gets closer step by step, the speed, density and lethality of the arrows increase exponentially.
With a clanging sound, the arrow finally broke through the layers of barriers and pierced Ying Xi's armor. Although it could not penetrate Ying Xi's body due to the barrier of the armor, it was immediately hung in the flesh due to the barbs attached. , as the horse jolted and bumped, the swing of its wings seriously affected Ying Xi's sight.
Ying Xi casually pulled out the arrow with his left hand, along with a large piece of flesh and blood, and threw it to the side of the road. Immediately, Ying Xi, with a calm expression, continued to urge the war horse to move forward.
Qin's fierce generals are indeed extremely fierce.
However, Ying Shou can be brave and fearless of death and treat injuries as nothing, but the war horse under his crotch cannot! The war horses also lacked exquisite armor and personal guards.
The dense rain of arrows had already pierced his skin, and bright red blood flowed out from the wound, and was raised in the air by the arrows swinging up and down. But it still ran hard, not because it didn't know the pain, but because it just wanted to do its last bit for its owner.
But the horse power was limited after all, and an arrow was finally shot from his high neck. In an instant, steaming blood spurted out from the arrow, and all the strength of the war horse also dissipated in an instant.
The front hooves of the war horse gave way, and when he knelt down, Ying Xie, who was on the horse's back, was also thrown off by the war horse.
"Master, I'm sorry..."
