After the two sides pulled away a certain distance, Feng Guo's cavalry stopped pursuing. Just when everyone thought they were out of danger, what awaited them was the attack of Feng Guo's archers. In the blink of an eye, countless arrows were directed at the Star Army. The array came rapidly.
"Be careful with bows and arrows," the Star Army generals in the rear immediately noticed Feng Jun's actions and reminded everyone loudly.
Under their shouts, those who were only focused on escaping slowly turned around, and what caught their eyes were countless arrows about to fall.
"Well……"
"Ah..." There was another shrill scream, and the star soldiers who were hit by arrows fell one after another. Facing the rain of arrows in the sky, without shields to protect themselves, they could only wave their weapons randomly to resist.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
In order to make Feng Jun stop shooting, Lan Xu gave an order, and the archers of the Xing Army hurriedly organized a formation and shot at Feng Jun's position in the rear.
After the fierce battle just now, the number of Star Army archers has been greatly reduced. The arrows fired are very sparse, far less dense than the arrows fired by the opponent. Fortunately, there is a certain hindrance. After the Star Army counterattacks, Feng Army They gradually slowed down and stopped pursuing forward, but the movements in their hands did not stop, and arrows shot out from their hands one after another.
"Be careful," just as Lu Yunyou was busy dealing with the danger in front of him, an arrow shot diagonally towards his chest. At the critical moment, Jun Wucheng, who was next to him, happened to notice this dangerous situation and immediately warned him.
But Lu Yunyou was still waving the spear in his hand randomly and did not notice the danger. In a hurry, Jun Wucheng, who was originally going to protect the Gao Li brothers, suddenly turned sideways and stood directly in front of Lu Yunyou, blocking the arrow for Lu Yunyou with his body. .
Without saying a word, after blocking the arrow, Jun Wucheng turned sideways and swung his spear to continue to help the Gao Li brothers and himself resist scattered arrow attacks.
After a while, Lu Yunyou realized that Jun Wucheng had saved his life just now. He didn't know if Jun Wucheng was okay. He wanted to go over and take care of him, but he was afraid that the arrows from above would hit him. After all, he couldn't. If he dared to stop what he was doing, he could only shout worriedly towards where Jun Wucheng was: "Brother Jun, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Just be careful." He didn't know whether it was because the arrow was already at the end of its life, or because it didn't hit the vital part of his body. Jun Wucheng only felt that the arrow didn't penetrate very deep into his body. For the time being, It didn't affect his actions, so he didn't pay much attention.
As before, Ling Yun still couldn't take into account the surrounding situation and could only keep waving the dagger in his hand. At the critical moment, the dagger was more flexible to use. With his quick eyesight and quick hands, he blocked many arrows in a row without being hit. Random arrows hit.
In a panic, Ling Yun was still thinking about when Feng Jun would completely stop attacking them. If it took too long and he didn't have the strength to resist, he would still die from random arrows, so he couldn't let go.
After another period of time, because the number of flying arrows was greatly reduced, Ling Yun took the time to look at the situation on Feng Jun's side. Feng Jun's archers just stood still and shot arrows at them, already a hundred meters away from them. Far away, such a distance would weaken the power of the arrows. If they could be further apart, they would be completely safe.
After realizing that they were gradually out of danger, Ling Yun picked up a long bow from the ground and held it in his hand, and then picked up an arrow cluster full of arrows. When he picked up these two things, he seemed to have changed. Like an individual, while dodging the arrow attacks from above, he opened his bow like a full moon and fired arrows at the enemy's camp.
The bow he picked up couldn't be considered a good bow, but since there was someone over there who could shoot a hundred meters away, he felt that he could do the same, but he couldn't guarantee the accuracy.
After he finished shooting the arrows in the arrow cluster, it seemed as long as the past few epochs. Everyone finally retreated to a safe area. After no more arrows were flying towards them, the exhausted people relaxed. He said, not only did he have to run non-stop, but he also had to guard against arrow attacks at all times. Everyone was tired and scared, but after being out of danger, no one dared to stop and rest. No matter how fast or slow, everyone was still running forward. With.
Comparatively speaking, those who were in better condition than Lu Yunyou and the others were the people who had been running in front. Those people were not within the shooting range of the Feng Army archers from the beginning to the end.
The cold wind kept blowing, the moon was clear, and the miserable situation of the Star Army became clearer and clearer. Those panicked and embarrassed figures would have a great impact on Lu Yunyou's heart every time he looked at them. Like a bereaved dog, the Star Army around him regardless of their rank No matter how high or low they were, they no longer had half the spirit they had before setting off.
"General Lan, Zhou will let you live today. If you still don't surrender in the future, the city will be destroyed and people will be killed." Hai Zhi was very proud after winning a battle on Thursday. Before withdrawing his troops, he said to Lan Xu again Some wild words, of course he is qualified to do so.
"Shameless villain, if we fight again one day, I will definitely take your life." Today's defeat is a great shame and humiliation. Not to mention the loss of so many personnel, he still hasn't even figured out the reason for the ambush. The thought of him makes him nervous. After losing to Zhou Hai in such a confused way, Lan Xu couldn't wait to rush forward and cut Zhou Hai into pieces.
"Stop talking, I hope General Lan will have a chance to face off against me next time." The Star Army suffered heavy losses tonight. As the leader of the army, Lan Xu will be severely punished. Zhou Hai is already thinking about confronting him next time. who will be.
"Retreat," Zhou Hai's profound response was not difficult to understand. While he was furious about this, Lan Xu turned around and led the generals to retreat.
In fact, Lan Xu already had some conjectures about the ambush tonight. The information about their evacuation was not fully communicated until the army was about to set off. More than an hour was not enough time for the Feng army to prepare an ambush in advance, and during this period all The camp was under martial law and it was impossible for anyone to go out and tell the enemy the news, so the person who leaked the secret was most likely a senior military officer.
Perhaps it was a certain general who participated in the discussion before. Only if he knew about their withdrawal one day in advance, could Feng Jun prepare for an ambush. But unfortunately, he had no specific suspect now.
In fact, Lan Xu's guess was not wrong. If Zhou Hai had not arranged a gap in advance to sneak into the Star Army, it would have been possible for the Star Army to successfully evacuate to the city gate tonight. At that time, it would be much more difficult for the Feng Army to capture the city gate. Therefore, Zhou Hai was very satisfied with the results of tonight's battle.
Under the circumstances of the ebb and flow, tonight's victory can not only greatly improve the morale of the Feng Army's personnel, but also weaken the enemy's strength and fighting spirit. In terms of the subsequent siege, this victory is very important to them.
As for why they gave up the pursuit, firstly, Zhou Hai was worried that the Star Army was about to counterattack, and secondly, this place was less than 20 miles away from Yancheng, and people from Guan might have been sent to support them. If the reinforcements from the Star Army arrived in time, they would be inflicted Threat, after all, he sent out the elite of the Feng Army tonight, and most of the soldiers were still staying in the camp. He didn't want them to lose a big victory because of greed for credit.
In any case, after the conversation between the two army generals ended, the distance between the two sides widened again. The Star Army had completely escaped the Feng Army's pursuit. Not long after, a supporting force arrived from Chengguan.
In fact, before the army evacuated, Lan Xu had sent someone to ask for help from Lan Wu, who was rushing to the border pass. Unfortunately, the reinforcements had been marching for days, and it was tonight that the vanguard team arrived at the pass.
After receiving Lan Xu's letter, there was no time to rest. The star army commander Lan Wu who came with the vanguard troops directly led his troops to the fortress to support Lan Xu, but it was still a step too late.
When the reinforcements arrive, Lan Xu's side will not look like a general, and the troops will be out of control. The disorderly marching team will directly let the visitors realize that they are late.
"General Lan, what's going on?" When they got closer, the embarrassed appearance of Lan Xu and others became more obvious. It was obvious that they had just experienced a big battle. After simply observing the situation of Lan Xu and others, the calm temperament The Star Army Marshal had some guesses.
"Reporting to the marshal, the general suspected that there was an enemy gap among the border troops. As a result, our army was ambushed by the enemy troops during the evacuation and suffered heavy losses. The general is guilty. Please reduce the responsibility to the marshal." After seeing the person, Lan Xu's mood became much calmer. After explaining the situation just now, he dismounted and apologized to the commander of the Star Army in front of him.
"You are indeed guilty, but now is not the time to punish you. Take your troops back to the city to rest quickly. I will make decisions on other matters after I know about them." With a stern look, General Lan Xu and several generals beside him all After looking over it, his eyes returned to Lan Xu: "After returning to the city, all personnel are not allowed to leave the station."
