Chapter 17: Ambush

Facing the fragrant pork rice, Dayuan-kun was in no mood to eat it. Throughout noon, he was like a firefighter, going around extinguishing the infighting that was about to burn. Before the war began, the commander was exhausted by the friction between the Guards and his men.

On the contrary, Yun Xiao had lunch. It's okay to slip around in the military formation, and when you meet a familiar guard, you can say hello. Everywhere he went, he was tightly surrounded by the guards, the Yun family's army was like this, no matter where they fought, food was always the best in the Han army. Even if the enemy soldiers were on horseback, they could not catch up with them.

The guards in the rear team suddenly cheered, and Yun Xiao looked back to see that the six three-bow bed crossbows had finally arrived. The 800 soldiers who followed the escort each carried a gunpowder crossbow and staggered along the main road. I saw that their helmets were crooked, and they were sweating like rain. I know that these people are really hard to hurry and roar.

"Ask the cook to cook more noodles and add more beef. Let these guys eat enough, and the fucking fifty miles is enough for them to work hard. ”

"No" Tiewei got Yun Xiao's order, and immediately ran to give the cook an order.

"Boom" As soon as the courtyard gentleman picked up the rice bowl, he heard an earth-shattering sound. Immediately followed by a series of strong explosions, which startled the courtyard Jun to look nervously at the front of the battle with his rice bowl.

Six large pillars of smoke rose from the deer in front of the military formation, and the soldiers fled in all directions wailing. Those invincible guards were also frightened, and they didn't know what the Han army on the opposite side was using.

"Father, the Han army has used a terrifying weapon. Those things shoot extremely far and explode when they hit the ground. Our sergeants have already suffered many casualties. Fusang rushed over and reported to the courtyard king.

"It seems that Prince Li is not lying, there are really a lot of strange weapons in the Han army. Don't panic, order the army to burn the deer as planned, and use the smoke to block the retreat of the Han army. The king of the courtyard calmly gave the order, as early as the time of the imperial debate. He had already heard of this weapon of the Han army, and privately sent someone to inquire in Prince Li's army. I already have a plan in my heart.

A cavalry rushed out of the rear of the Japanese soldiers. These cavalrymen were armed with torches. Running away, he set fire to the deer in front of the formation, and those deer were on fire. It turned out that the courtyard had already tied firewood and sprinkled fire oil on it.

The fire ignited billowing smoke, which soon spread out to obscure the sky. The Japanese soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to retreat to the rear one after another, and the Yun family's three-bow bed crossbow fired blindly for a few rounds, and they couldn't even see the impact point.

"What a cunning fellow." Yun Xiao looked at the billowing smoke in front of the formation, and he was also a little helpless. It's obvious. This was prepared in advance by the Japanese soldiers. It seems that these Japanese generals are very clever and actually know to cast smoke and escape.

Seeing that shooting with a three-bow bed crossbow can only be a waste of ammunition. Yun Xiao decisively ordered to stop shooting, and the ammunition was carried by the soldiers one by one. Needless to say, it's hard work, and it's also a big problem to supplement after playing. It seems that some four-wheeled carriages must be transported over to provide security, otherwise this battle will be really difficult to fight.

"Master Hou, these grandsons are like the squid you said. If he couldn't beat it, he let go of the smoke and ran away, letting the bear chase him. Custody in one fell swoop to capture the next pass. "The bear was carrying a mace and was eager to try it.

"Hmmm! The current situation. Not with melee either. Be careful, take a thousand men to explore the way. Eagle, you take a thousand men to sweep the bear behind. ”

"No" "No"

The uncle and nephew took the order and left, and Yun Xiao shook his head helplessly. Neither the bear nor the goshawk are the best choice for generals, they are both brave and resourceful. The only ones who can be used in the family are Dai Yu and Canghu. However, Dai Yu is injured now, and Yun Xiao can't bear to let him travel long distances. And the Great King City must also be guarded by a reliable person, and the Canghu can't move.

Yun Xiao felt that he was strict and lacking manpower. Especially the lack of generals. A Qi Tie had just been promoted, but he was seriously injured by the shooting, and now he has been sent back to Dawang City to recuperate.

The goshawk and the bear got the order. With his subordinates, he rushed to the local military formation. At this time, it was the hottest time of the day, and the Japanese army was uphill again. The bear brandished his mace and ran to the burning deer, already sweating.

The burning deer was so hot that the armor was hot, and the steaming smoke choked the eyes. Little Bear led the guards and had to rush through the smoke with his eyes closed.

Crossing the flames, the bear ripped off his visor. Take the helmet off. There were beads of sweat hanging from his hair, and the bear shook his hair. Continuing to direct the guards to rush forward, the guards saw that the bear was like this. Many people took off their helmets and rushed up the dirt slope.

The dirt slope is followed by a col with an S-shaped path. The bear hasn't lost his mind yet. After sending people to occupy the commanding heights, he continued to lead the soldiers to rush forward.

After turning the S-shaped col, there is an open field in front of you. A row of wooden baffles was erected, and the Japanese soldiers hid behind them. Dayuanjun already knew the combat characteristics of the Yun family's guards, and he really put a lot of effort into defending the long-range attack weapons.

Seeing the dense baffles in front of him, the bear immediately stopped the running guards. Running all the way up, wearing such heavy armor on his body. Although the guards were strong, they were also tired and panting.

"Steady!" The bear shouted loudly, and some of the guys who wanted to rush forward in one fell swoop shrank back. Stand still and try to catch some breath.

At this time, the goshawk also rushed over, and he frowned when he saw the other party's tight baffle. These Japanese soldiers are really difficult to deal with, and they actually came up with such a method. It seems that there is no way to use the iron-tired crossbow, and even if the iron-tired crossbow is not a three-bow bed crossbow, it is absolutely impossible to shoot through those baffles. To deal with the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, it seems that the only way to fight is to fight with a saber.

"Fourth uncle, you take the brothers to rest for a while. I went up with the people first, this place is so narrow. You can't go up together. ”

"Be careful, these soldiers seem to be familiar with our way of playing." Goshawk instructed his nephew.

The bear spat and waved the mace in his hand. A thousand black-armored men rushed to the position of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army seemed to have not seen it. Nor did he send a bow and crossbow, and let the bear rush up.

One of the guards suddenly sank under his feet as he ran, and his entire calf sank into the dirt. There were many other people who encountered him, and the bear ignored the fallen guards. The body is tense and stiff when charging, and it is common to fall.

A roar suddenly shot out from the Japanese army's formation, and the bear was startled. But by this time it was already too late, as the chirping sounded. The rockets in the sky then took off into the air.

"Raise your shield!" The bear was the first to raise his shield, but the rockets fell behind the bear one after another. The bear was a little strange and looked back. The bear's soul almost flew out in fright.

Where the rocket landed, a wall of fire rose on the ground with a "whirring". The guards, whose legs were still sunk to the ground, were instantly engulfed in the flames that burst into the sky.

It turned out that the Japanese had dug a ditch in the ground and filled it with firewood and bamboo sprinkled with fire oil. Then the Japanese soldiers carefully sprinkled some fine soil on the firewood and bamboo, as well as light tender grass.

From a distance, you can't see that there is such a ditch hidden in the ground.

It wasn't until the flames rose into the air that Little Bear knew that this was a trap carefully arranged by the Japanese people.

In the face of the soaring flames, there are also guards who have been burned into a ball of fire. The bear was frightened, he had never encountered anything like this in a big battle. This wall of fire separates the bear from the goshawk's team, and now the bear is completely alone. Goshawk didn't have any way to reinforce his nephew, and Yun Xiao was still far away from the col at this time.

A terrible scream resounded through the sky, and the goshawk roared to rush forward with the people. But as soon as he ran ten feet away from the wall of fire, he was forced back alive by the heat wave.

"Mother's ......" Goshawk was so anxious that he scolded his mother, but there was nothing he could do. If you want to pass, you can only wait for the fire to go out. But the bear is still on the other side of the wall of fire!

"Little Bear, what should we do?" The guards who followed the bear were also dumbfounded, and the rows of logs in front of them were baffles. I don't know what is hidden behind it, behind it is a scorching wall of fire. The retreat was ruthlessly cut off, and the Yun family's guards were also a little flustered.

"Damn it, you're going to die or hang up. Follow Lao Tzu Chong! There was a fierce look in the bear's eyes, these Japanese soldiers were really powerful. I actually used a stratagem, so let's see if it's your trick or the bear's mace that's great.

But the bear had just formed a team and had not yet charged again. But I heard a "buzzing" sound in the Japanese army, no, this is not a sound. Rather, there are many sounds connected together, and because they are so neat, they sound like one sound.

Then the bear saw countless black dots flying towards him like dragonflies after rain.

"Raise your shield!" Xiao Xiong raised the shield in his hand again, and the shield cast by the "Zheng" Yun family's iron was actually shot through.

But though the arrows pierced the shield, they lost their strength. It only penetrated the shield for more than three inches before it got stuck on the shield.

Xiao Xiong looked at the arrow less than half an inch away from his nose and felt a chill in his heart, no wonder Hou Ye had to wait for the three-bow bed crossbow. It turned out that the large crossbow bolts were so powerful, and there was a terrible scream behind him. Many of the guards were wounded by the dense rain of arrows, and the wounded guards rolled on the ground and wailed.

The guards of the Yun family had never been beaten so miserably, and the wolf was so helpless. Little Bear didn't know what to do for a while.

Before the bear could recover from his senses, the rain of arrows fell again. The guards who were originally struggling and wailing on the ground were all nailed to the ground, and the armor of the Yun family, which they were once proud of, was ruthlessly pierced.

The bolts were undiminished, piercing the guards' armor and nailing them to the ground. (To be continued......)
