Sure enough, not long after, there was a rumble of chaotic footsteps in the valley.
The Qin army on the mountain was even lower and they were all lying on the mountain.
Large numbers of ghost soldiers were running forward on the main road.
"Su Shuai..." Xu Rong said tentatively.
"Don't worry, wait a moment." Su Yi interrupted him directly.
At the foot of the mountain.
The ghost army continued in succession, and soon a general appeared, riding a war horse, holding a whip, shouting and commanding from one side: "Hurry up! Follow us all!"
This ghost tribe reinforcements numbered 30,000 people. They did not bring any food, grass or baggage, and they looked like they were marching in a hurry.
On both sides of the mountain, the generals of the Qin Army subconsciously stretched their hands to their swords at their waists, waiting for Su Yi to command the flag.
Xu Rong could no longer hold himself back.
Just when he was about to continue asking questions, Su Yi suddenly glared and shouted in a loud voice: "Raise the flag!"
Following his order, the tall handsome flag was erected in an instant. The flag rustled in the wind and was so conspicuous high in the mountains.
Seeing this signal, all the generals drew out their swords from their waists almost simultaneously and stood up suddenly.
At that moment, the sound of armor clashing filled the entire mountain range, and the mountains and plains were covered with black armor and red tassels!
The soldiers of the Qin army in the first two rows immediately bent their bows and set arrows to draw them full.
Such a movement made the horse neigh. The ghost pulled the reins and looked up subconsciously. He was dumbfounded on the spot!
"General, general! There is an ambush..."
The general trembled, and as soon as he finished speaking, the military order on the mountain was issued:
"Fire the arrow!"
The flag swayed, and all the soldiers released their fingers together, and the sharp arrows left the strings, dense as rain, and shot down hard.
Plop, plop!
In just an instant, countless ghost soldiers were shot to the ground.
The people were thrown onto their backs, mixed with the screams of the people and the neighing of the horses.
After the Qin army fired a round of arrows, they stepped forward alternately, followed by another round.
This kind of direct shooting from high to low requires no effort at all, just keep firing arrows.
The ghost army, which was marching in a hurry, was caught off guard. Without even thinking about the front and rear, it was already in chaos.
"Protect the general——"
At the shouts of his generals, a large number of ghost troops rushed over, protecting their generals, waving their weapons from time to time to block arrows.
The tinkling sound never stopped.
But the arrow rain was too dense, and the ghost infantry did not have heavy vertical shields, but the scimitar and round shield configuration. From time to time, someone was shot in the leg and just screamed, If you make one move, you will be nailed into a hedgehog again!
"Quick! Get out of the ambush circle -" the leader of the ghost army shouted, already panicked.
It was simply impossible to fight up the mountain now. He had only one option, which was to risk his life to get out of here.
But the Qin army had set up an ambush for several days and was waiting for today. With Su Yi's plan, how could they be allowed to leave!
After the arrow was shot, another piece of rolling stone was pushed to the side of the hillside by the soldiers.
Descending from the steep slope, the boulders carrying the billowing dust crashed directly into the crowd. The effect can be imagined.
I don't know how many people were crushed into meat patties in an instant, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
Blood splattered everywhere, and screams filled the entire valley.
This was simply a one-sided massacre. The ghost army would have a hard time running out of here, let alone fighting back.
In the midst of the chaos, Su Yi stood at the commanding heights and stared at the ghost army general, pointing his finger and saying:
"Have you seen the other party's general?"
"If anyone can kill him, I will report it to the king and reward him with a hundred gold. I will record him as a great meritorious service!"
Hearing this, Xu Rong's eyes immediately lit up. In the Qin army system, a great achievement is the key to military merit promotion!
He immediately said: "I'll go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
"Huh?" Su Yi stopped him, "Our army is ambushing us now, how can we go down?"
"This..." Xu Rong paused. He was very skilled in martial arts, but his archery skills were not very good. Moreover, the ghost army leader, under a circle of guards, had arrived at a temporarily safe place. He shot arrows on the mountain, and ordinary soldiers Simply unattainable.
At this moment, an ordinary soldier behind him suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Su Shuai, I am willing to give it a try!"
"Oh?" Su Yi was a little surprised, because the opponent was just an ordinary crossbowman.
Xu Rong even curled his lips with a look of disdain: "Just you? Do you know how far we are from the Ghost Army General?"
The soldier was wearing ordinary armor, with a resolute face, sharp eyes, and a hard bow in his hand. After carefully looking at the ghost general's position, he said: "Basically, the villain should be at least one hundred and eighty steps away."
At that time, the lethality of hard bows that penetrated armor was only about a hundred steps, and the Qin army's arrow array, which was unparalleled in the world, only covered a distance of one hundred and fifty steps.
If you want to kill someone from a distance of 180 steps, arm strength, precision, and archery skills are all indispensable.
After hearing what the soldier said, Xu Rong smiled again: "Since you know this distance, why are you talking so arrogantly?"
The soldiers were silent.
Su Yi smiled and said, "Just try it. If you can't shoot, that's okay."
"promise!"
The soldier clasped his fists, then pulled out the feather arrow, bent his front legs, stretched his hind legs, and stretched it to full capacity in an instant.
His movements of drawing the bow were smooth and seamless!
The hard bow is as full as the moon.
But he kept moving, squinting slightly and motionless.
It wasn't until a while later that he suddenly released his fingers.
The bowstring twitched, and the sharp arrow shot out!
This cold arrow slanted down from the mountain, as fast as lightning, almost grazing the cheeks of several ghost soldiers, and finally nailed the ghost general's face with a bang!
"ah--"
A shrill howl came out. The ghost army leader covered his face and staggered back. His whole right hand was dripping with blood.
The arrow had entered through his front door. At such a distance, the barb penetrated the back of his head, showing how powerful it was.
"General!"
"General——"
The surrounding ghost troops stepped forward to help him.
But he can no longer survive.
On the mountain, a hundred and eighty steps away, although Su Yi couldn't see clearly, he roughly knew what was going on, and couldn't help but look at the soldiers with shock on his face.
Xu Rong first stared in the direction of the ghost army leader with wide eyes, then swallowed, turned around and said, "You actually have such archery skills!?"
"The general is very complimentary, this villain is just lucky." The soldier lowered his head slightly and clasped his fists.
Su Yi was delighted: "What's your name?"
"Little man Luo Chong." The soldier returned respectfully.
"Okay! Luo Chong! You are one hundred and eighty steps away and shoot the enemy general with an arrow. I will personally report this feat to Lord Ming!"
"Thank you, Su Shuai!" Upon hearing this, Luo Chong couldn't suppress his excitement and immediately knelt down on one knee.
Xu Rong couldn't help but cast an envious look.
At the foot of the mountain, with the tragic death of the ghost army leader, the scene became even more chaotic.
"The general is dead, the general is dead -"
The panicked shouting caused the surviving ghost soldiers to lose their backbone and start to feel like headless chickens.
The ambushes on both sides continued.
In the valley, there were already a lot of corpses, arrows were stabbed all over the ground, and the dead bodies were crushed by the rocks. It was so tragic.
