Chapter 136: Closing the Net

The terrain in front of Shang Ji is relatively special, it is a figure of eight, and Shang Ji is at the foot of the figure of eight. It is narrower and narrower the inwards and higher on both sides. The opening is so wide that it is not a slope for anyone unfamiliar with the terrain.

Overall, it's an excellent ambush spot.

Of course, a normal army, even if the commander is kicked in the head by a donkey, will not lead the army to drill here without any reconnaissance.

But it is obvious that it is not a normal army that encircles and suppresses Shangji, it is just a large number of fragmentary tribal coalition forces that were improvised and brought out without any running-in. What's more, their commanders are already in a state of semi-madness, and the army is completely in a state of chaos, even some of the sober-minded generals are completely useless, and the army rushes in.

If they could stop and look closely, they would see that the dry grass was excessive. If they could be more careful, they would find that there were a lot of military fires underneath, and even some firewood soaked in fire oil appeared at intervals.

Of course, the Xianbei people in the gallop didn't have time to stop and observe these things, and they resolutely rushed in under the leadership of Luo Duo.

The entire Grand Canyon is very long, more than ten kilometers long. However, both sides were speeding up, and more than 10 kilometers were quickly passed.

Looking back, I saw that most of the Xianbei army had entered the ambush circle, "Full speed ahead!" Shang Ji shouted violently, and took the lead in accelerating!

The black armor Xuanqi listened to the order, and immediately slapped the horse's belly twice, no longer controlling the speed, and no longer needed to save horsepower, the speed immediately skyrocketed by five points, and the wind rushed out.

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the enemy army in front, he suddenly found that the enemy army accelerated instantly, and the distance between them was immediately widened.

Luo Duo was suddenly startled, looked around, and suddenly felt a sense of death.

I saw that the left and right sides were cliffs more than ten zhang high, and the cliffs on both sides gradually closed, and there was only one exit less than fifty zhang left in the front.

Luo Duo broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, the terrain was so dangerous, if there was an army blocking the front and rear exits, and then arranging ambushes on both sides of the cliff, the 100,000 army would be wiped out in an instant!

"Retreat! Fall back!! Retreat!! Luo Duo grabbed the horse and neighed.

However, at this time, the command structure of the Xianbei army has almost completely paralyzed, except for some people around Luo Duo who heard his order and began to turn around and retreat, but more Xianbei soldiers who did not know why still continued to charge forward!

For a while, the forward and backward ones were crowded together, crowded and clogged with each other, and fell into complete chaos.

On the cliffs on both sides, countless soldiers draw bows and arrows, ready to go!

Liu Yi's face was grim, and when he saw that Shang Ji had completely led the army through the canyon, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

On both sides of the canyon were two thousand long-shot strong bows and dismounted dragon archers, and when they heard Liu Yi's order, they immediately shot the rockets in their hands!

"Woohoo!"

The continuous sound of breaking the air came, and Luo Duo immediately looked up when he heard the sound, only to see dense rockets flying in.

Luo Duo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his gaze slipped with the arrow.

"Boom!"

The firewood and grass soaked in fire oil suddenly burst into flames!

In a matter of moments, the entrance was engulfed in flames. Faintly, you can even see some Xianbei people struggling in the sea of fire.

Luo Duo looked at the sea of fire in the sky and swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his mouth was dry and his eyes were black.

Turning his head to look, he just saw the figure of the last black-armored Xuanqi out of the canyon.

"Rush! Rush!! Rush through the canyon!! After saying that, without waiting for the others to react, he immediately waved his horsewhip and galloped towards the exit of the canyon.

"Click!"

The sound of the horse's hooves was quick and swift, and Rodo frantically whipped his horse, his eyes fixed on the exit of the canyon.

Although I knew in my heart that since the enemy army had a perfect ambush plan, it was impossible to leave such a loophole for myself, but when people reach a desperate situation, they will always hypnotize themselves and rush towards the possible "hope" without hesitation.

As it got closer, the war horse galloped, and when it saw that it was about to reach the exit, Luo Duo couldn't even suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

Suddenly, crossbowmen appeared on the cliffs on either side of the canyon's exit. With Gao Xiang's order, countless crossbow arrows flashed with a deadly cold glow, shooting at the Xianbei army who were trying to rush to the exit.

"Ahhh

Screams rang out, and a large number of Xianbei knights were pierced through their bodies by steel crossbows.

The first time the Northland strong crossbow has made a contribution!

Luo Duo's strength is not bad, coupled with a bit of luck, the wave of crossbow arrows just now did not hurt him at all, and at this time he was still rushing wildly, trying to escape from the encirclement of the canyon.

Under Gao Xiang's order, the crossbowmen on the cliff no longer attacked him, but instead took the ordinary soldiers behind him as the target of the attack, and the crossbow arrows came one after another, harvesting the enemy's lives very quickly.

"Ah~"

Luo Duo roared, clamped the horse's belly, and was about to rush out of the canyon, when suddenly a group of hoplites wearing heavy armor and holding long knives appeared in front of him!

The hoplites, who only leaked two eyes, did not move in the face of the galloping Luo Duo, and their hands clenched their long knives, the tips of which were aimed at Luo Duo.

"Phew!!"

Luo Duo hurriedly grabbed the war horse and stopped.

If you have a large army behind you, you have no chance of breaking through the defenses of the heavy infantry. But now Luo Duo is alone, single-handedly attacking the military formation that is waiting for him, not to mention Luo Duo is a second-rate general, even if Liu Yi comes, he has to weigh it carefully!

Seeing that Luo Duo was stationed on the horse, the heavily armored sword soldiers did not take the initiative to attack, their task today was to hold the valley pass, not to let any Xianbei enemy army pass, and the specific task of destroying the enemy was handed over to the long-range attack force.

Behind them, there were two thousand giant axe soldiers armed with giant axes, ready to step forward to support at any time.

At this time, Luo Duo was in a dilemma. The large army was trapped in the sea of fire and life was uncertain, and a small number of troops followed themselves and were lucky not to be swallowed by the sea of fire, but they were suppressed by the crossbowmen in ambush of the other side, and they could not rush up at all.

He finally rushed to the mouth of the drum, and he saw that he could escape, but he was blocked by a team of heavily armored sword soldiers.

Turning his head anxiously at the army that was still struggling to break through and hopeless, Luo Duo gritted his teeth and rushed towards the heavily armored sword soldiers.

"The sun and the moon are dark!"

Luo Duo burst into a shout, and the black sword came out, attacking directly towards the heavily armored sword soldiers!

"Boom!" A deafening explosion came, and more than a dozen heavily armored sword soldiers near the explosion site were immediately killed, and Luo Duo took advantage of this opportunity to immediately rush over.

The heavily armored sword soldiers were not chaotic at all, and the nearby soldiers immediately advanced, filled the position of the dead robe, and waited for Luo Duo to come to the door.

"Ah~ Die!" Luo Duo's eyes were red, and he burst into a shout, and the big knife slashed at a heavily armored sword soldier in front of him.

The soldier couldn't react, and was immediately cut in two by the company. However, the soldier next to him immediately jumped and slashed, and the long knife slashed at Luo Duo.

After killing the earliest soldier, Luo Duo immediately swung his sword to block the attack of the soldier next to him, and knocked him away with a backhand.

However, in such a short period of time, the heavy armor sword soldiers had already completed the encirclement of him, and countless heavy armor sword soldiers were densely surrounded by water.

Although Luo Duo fought hard, but the end is not the kind of unparalleled fierce general who can take the head of the enemy in a million troops, under the offensive of the heavy armor sword soldiers one after another, it didn't take long for him to suffer several wounds, and his physical strength gradually failed, and finally he was attacked by a heavy armor behind him, and he was slashed off the horse with a knife.

Then countless soldiers swarmed up and killed him completely!
