Huang Xi knew that he would not be able to go back alive today, and he wanted to buy more time for the soldiers who were fetching water.
"Do you think we dare to break into your Wei army camp with these people? There are thousands of sharpshooters ambushing my big men outside. If you move around, you will become a target in the next moment!" Huang Xi looked directly at him when he said this. Looking at the young general opposite.
"Captain Zhang, the Shu people have always been cunning and cunning. Maybe their large army is ambushing outside now. We should be careful!" A Wei soldier said to the black-robed young general with some worry. Even though this young general's official position is just a captain, it is obvious that the Wei soldiers here are centered on him and listen to his words.
"Hey! Is the fight finally about to begin? My body is getting rusty from waiting for you! Le Zhao, this time we have to have a good competition to see who can kill more Shu soldiers!"
Not only was the young man in black robe not afraid, but he became excited and eager to have a big fight.
"Le Zhao, listen, he just said that there would be an ambush of thousands of people, but the little dirtbags around here can ambush thousands of people. Don't they, the Shu people, really have any brain problems? Hahaha..."
"Zhang Tong, please calm down. No news has come from the mountain where General Zhang led the troops. If the Shu army really wants to start a war, they will not just send these dozens of people to die first. Looking at their situation, they seem to be attacking in the east... . ... "
The two looked at each other with a look of sudden realization.
“Water source!!!”
As soon as the young man named Le Zhao finished speaking, Huang Xi picked up the knife in his hand and slashed at a Wei soldier in front of him. The surrounding Shu soldiers also followed him, but the fifty people were against him. Thousands of people are like a mantis trying to block a car.
"You guys go to the water source quickly." Zhang Tongyi watched Huang Xi and the others struggling to death and asked a team of people to go to the water source to explore.
"Master, I didn't do anything just now because I wanted to play with you first. I didn't expect that you almost got deceived by you. I wanted to get the idea of a water source. Let me guess how many people are there? Are they over a hundred?" Zhang The commander waved the halberd in his hand, and a moment later, several Shu soldiers died under his halberd.
Huang Xi and his party knew that there was nothing they could do to save their lives, and when they closed their eyes in despair and waited for death,
Suddenly hundreds of arrows hit the Wei army from the outside.
"All troops on alert!!!" Le Zhao, who was watching from the sidelines, quickly drew his sword from his waist and cut off the arrows that hit him with one strike.
"Captain Zhang, are there really thousands of Shu troops ambushing outside?"
The soldiers of the Wei army quickly formed a circle and looked warily towards the outside of the camp.
"It's just a joke. Even if it's a real archer at this distance, the arrows won't be strong enough to hurt people. Zhao, you're here to watch them."
"Come with a team of people and follow me to catch these hidden rats!"
Zhang Tong pulled the horse out from the side.
"Zhang Tong, don't underestimate the enemy. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to Uncle Zhang."
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Zhang Tong waved his hand, got on his horse, and led half of the Wei army towards the direction from which the arrow feathers came.
"I'm sorry, do you want to run away or fight with them?" The Wei cavalry galloped from the front. Ah San looked at Wang Da and waited for instructions.
"The young man in the lead is difficult to deal with. Everyone, please be careful and fight while retreating. Retreat to the city!"
Wang Da looked around: "You are all warriors of Qingwu, everyone come back alive!"
All the soldiers of the Qingqiang tribe stood up and shot out the full bows and arrows in their hands, then quickly evacuated their places and ran towards the ancient city of Jieting.
In an instant, hundreds of Wei cavalrymen were hit by arrows. Zhang Tongyi slashed at the arrow feathers that were coming towards him, but the arrow feathers were so fast that they could barely pass by.
Zhang Tong's expression gradually became serious: "Pay attention to the formation, let me catch up with them."
Although the Qingqiang soldiers were very skilled, they could not match the speed of the cavalry.
For a moment, the two sides started fighting at hand-to-hand combat.
The speed and assault power of the cavalry can be said to be almost invincible in plain battles. The Qingqiang soldiers could only rely on their agility to retreat into the rugged mountains, getting further and further away from the city.
"General, do we want to go down and help them?" The Qingqiang soldiers who stayed in the city and Wang Ping were on the city wall keeping an eye on the movements on the battlefield.
"The young general leading the army on the other side has some skills, and we only have a thousand people on our side, while their side has four times the number of us. The outside of the city is all flat ground. If we go out, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg..."
Wang Ping didn't expect that Ma Su would only send a hundred people to get water, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"You go and lead a hundred people to hold flags and shout loudly at the city gate to give the enemy the illusion that we are still ambushing. If the enemy sends cavalry to detect the truth, you will quickly retreat into the city and lock the city gate."
Huang Xi and Wang Da's side are probably in danger, but they cannot sit back and wait for death and let the remaining Qingqiang soldiers following him feel cold. They can only do their best and obey fate, hoping that Wang Da and the others can have a chance of survival.
"Hey! You are very skilled, but you don't look like a Shu person. It would be a pity to stay in Shu country. Why not come to our Wei country? You will definitely have a better future than staying in Shu country!"
Zhang Tong sat on the horse, put his scimitar back into the scabbard on his waist, pulled out his usual crescent halberd from the side of the saddle, waved it twice in his hand, and then stabbed Wang Da.
Wang Da leaned back to dodge. When the crescent tip on the halberd brushed against it, Zhang Tong turned him downwards with force. Even if he reacted quickly, the halberd tip swept across instantly, leaving a shallow mark on his face. scratches.
"Very good, let's see if you can escape easily this time!"
Zhang Tong held the halberd again and prepared to stab Wang Da. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised the crescent halberd, he saw a cold light flying from the foot of Nanshan. He was shot under the horse before he could react.
Just when the Wei army was panicking, two more cold lights flashed through, and two more Wei soldiers were shot off their horses.
"What are you still doing? Take Lieutenant Zhang back to the camp quickly!" Just when Zhang Tong was shot, Le Zhao quickly reacted and got on his horse, keeping his upper body close to the horse's back, and went to check on Zhang Tong's condition.
Zhang Tong relied on his keen intuition to avoid the vital point, but he was still shot in the left shoulder and struggled to stand up from the ground.
"Why are you, the Shu army, just a bunch of underdogs? If you have the ability to fight head-on with real swords and guns, and then fire arrows secretly one after another, how can you be considered a hero?"
Zhang Tong staggered onto his horse, and just as he was about to continue chasing the Qingqiang soldiers, another cold light flashed through, and the soldiers in front of him fell off the horse.
"Hurry up and put your upper body on the horse's back!" Le Zhao rode his horse forward to stop Zhang Tong's impulsive advance.
"Zhang Tong, there is a mountain road ahead. The cavalry is not good at fighting on mountain roads. We should go back to the Chinese army camp and wait for General Zhang to come back before making plans."
On the other side, on the wall of Jieting Ancient City,
Wang Ping looked at the changes in the battle ahead, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, when did the Shu army have a sharpshooter with such excellent shooting skills? Such a distance and such accuracy, even the former General Huang might not be able to achieve it easily.
Who is this person? Why is he so capable yet unknown?
