Chapter 59: The First Thread
Three hundred simple swords and soldiers cut through thorns and thorns, chose relatively flat terrain, and carved out a road from the forest. The military general who took the initiative to invite Ying was not a waste, and he was always vigilant for ambushes along the way.
Fortunately, the journey was safe, and there was no threat except for the occasional beast that scurried out of the jungle.
The Pioneer Battalion soon arrived at a dangerous location. The military general who led the team stopped the team and rode his horse to the front of the team to look at this first-line gorge. Throughout the ages, this kind of dangerous terrain has always been the favorite terrain for soldiers to set up ambushes.
The general who led the team was very cautious and sent a hundred Pu sword soldiers first. Seeing a hundred Pu sword soldiers enter the first-line gorge, he immediately ordered to come down and let the soldiers hurry up to fill their stomachs and rest their strength.
More than half an hour passed, and a small group of Pu Dao soldiers ran in the first-line gorge. When the general who led the team saw someone turning, he immediately rode his horse to meet him and asked, "Is there an ambush along the way?" ”
"General Hui, there is no ambush." The ten-captain who led the team back to report the news was in a very relaxed mood. It is fortunate that such a dangerous place was not ambushed.
"Let's go." The leading general immediately shouted at the team to get back on the road. Since the vanguard was not ambushed, it had to hurry through this dangerous place. God knows what a delay would be like.
The team restarted and entered the first line of gorges.
A line of gorge, also known as a line of sky. The cliffs on both sides are steep, making it difficult for apes to climb. A trail long enough for five horses runs through the canyon, and if you don't take into account the dense bushes and weeds, it's much smoother than before. When you look up, you can only see a narrow sky, hence the name.
The vanguard has blazed a trail. No one in the team said a word, and they all quickened their pace. The first line of the gorge is flat, but the terrain makes the mountain wind even more aggressive. Even if it is located in Zhuya Prefecture, the mountain wind is whistling, blowing goosebumps all over people's bodies, and it is cold to the bones.
"Quick, cross the first-line gorge and rest the army." The generals who led the team looked uneasy and hurriedly urged the soldiers to speed up their pace.
The mountain wind in the canyon was cold, and he always felt uneasy. But what was wrong, he couldn't tell. It stands to reason that now is the best time to set up an ambush. There is an ambush of soldiers and horses on the cliffs on both sides, and you only need to push the rocks down, and your team is finished. However, he agreed more with the Blood Sword's statement. There's no reason why that Xanadu Village learned the news so early and came here to ambush. Even if the other party learns the news, there is no suitable place to hide in the canyon. The vanguard had already cut down the bushes and weeds along the way. A trail with an unobstructed view. But there was always uneasiness in him.
The generals who led the team were in fear, and the team successfully crossed the first-line gorge. It wasn't until he saw the sun in the sky again that he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered him to go down and set up camp and guard the mouth of the first line of gorges.
At the sound of the order, all the soldiers were busy. The generals who led the team watched the camp gradually take shape, and they were also relieved, and dismounted and walked to the side to rest.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout of killing. A troop of soldiers and horses was killed in front, and vaguely there seemed to be a lot of people. The generals who led the team were suddenly startled, hurriedly mounted their horses, and commanded the soldiers with frightened faces to prepare to meet the enemy.
"Oh no, they've really gotten the news." The generals who led the team were secretly frightened, and realized the belonging of the soldiers and horses in front of them for the first time. He could see clearly that this army of soldiers and horses was a lot of soldiers. Bandits and rogues would never have such a regular army.
But he was even more strange about the general who commanded this army. Instead of setting up an ambush in the first-line gorge, he laid an ambush at the mouth of the gorge. This is not in accordance with the art of war. The first-line gorge can be called a one-man pass, and it is impossible to open it. All it takes is a squad of soldiers to block the mouth of the gorge. The team can completely retreat into the first-line gorge and retreat calmly. In this way, can an ambush still be called an ambush?
The generals who led the team quickly arranged the troops with a strange face, and quickly formed a formation. At this time, the front has also formed a formation. He looked at it and couldn't help but laugh.
It's just a hundred troops.
"Kill!" The general who led the team took the big knife handed by his subordinates, took the lead, and rushed out energetically. The morale of the three hundred Pu sword soldiers was immediately boosted, and they followed closely behind to kill the soldiers and horses in front.
Ding Yan saw the opposite side rushing to kill, smiled faintly, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat. One hundred Pu sword soldiers immediately changed the well-trained front team to the rear team, which came suddenly and went quickly.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the other side was about to escape, the generals who led the team became more and more energetic, pointed forward with a big knife, and led the team to chase and kill the past. I didn't think that just after chasing out a few miles, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out with oblique stabs.
"Good thief, eat me with a hammer." Li Daniu carried two iron hammers in his hand, strode forward, and smashed the general who galloped towards him with a hammer.
The generals who led the team were overturned. Riders have a natural advantage against foot riders. Sitting on the horse condescendingly, it adds to the galloping power of the horse, and the force is at least twice as strong as the swing of the knife. He immediately grabbed the horse's belly in high spirits, picked up the big knife with both hands, and slashed at Li Daniu who strode forward like thunder.
When there was a loud bang, Li Daniu was born with divine power, but he was still slashed by a knife and flew out with a hammer in his right hand. The tiger's mouth was shaken out of the bloody mouth. He immediately let out a strange scream, turned around and ran, not even the hammer.
"Good thief, I haven't eaten enough today, and I'll fight you tomorrow."
As soon as Li Da Niu ran, the other 100 Pu sword soldiers immediately turned around and ran away, without the slightest ambiguity. Li Da Niu rushed extremely fast, and a group of Pu Dao soldiers ran in front of him.
"Where to run!" The generals who led the team were suddenly refreshed, and the previous depression turned into flowing water, and the energetic horses chased and killed the past.
"My mother." Li Daniu let out a strange scream, and his hairy thighs were as hot as Hot Wheels. For a while, it was on par with the galloping speed of the horse.
The leading general couldn't help but secretly gasp. He never expected that the rammer would run so fast that even the horse couldn't catch up for a while. Immediately, he couldn't help but be extremely angry, clamped the horse's belly, and chased after the horse.
The three hundred Pu sword soldiers were panting, and when they saw that the main general was almost gone, they couldn't help but secretly slander themselves. Two legs are not as good as four legs after all. I didn't want to be at this moment, and a shout of killing suddenly came out from behind.
"Kill!"
Zhao Yun took the lead and led a hundred cavalry to fight out from the diagonal rear. Without waiting for the three hundred Pu sword soldiers to react, one hundred horsemen used Zhao Yun as an arrow and crashed into the ranks.
Suddenly screams rang out. A hundred cavalry horses collided with spears, especially the thirty axe cavalry, with hideous axes and spears, but all the approaching Pu Dao soldiers, even if they raised their shields in time to resist, they all screamed and fell. In just a few breaths, the ranks were in chaos, and at least fifty or sixty people fell in this wave of charge.
Zhao Yun led the team to penetrate the enemy formation, deftly drew an arc, and led the team to charge again. In the shouting of killing, Ding Yan led fifty heavy infantry, and fifty Pu sword soldiers turned back, following Zhao Yun's one hundred cavalry to kill the enemy formation that had become a mess.
The Pak Dao soldiers, who were lucky enough to escape the first charge, were once again wiped out. Zhao Yun is the arrow, and there is no enemy in the enemy formation. Behind him, thirty axe cavalry took advantage of the situation to swing their axes and guns, and a bloody road was everywhere they passed. The 70 cavalry that followed became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and instantly lowered the morale of the team to freezing point. When the mixed army formed by the heavy infantry under the command of Ding Yan and the Pu Dao soldiers arrived, no one had any intention of resisting, and they threw down their weapons and hugged their heads.
"Gongyu, I'll save Li Daniu." Zhao Yun completed a round trip, and immediately left a hundred horsemen to assist Ding Yan in killing the remnants of the army, and single-handedly killed the direction in which Li Daniu fled.
In less than one meal, all 300 Pu sword soldiers were wiped out. Ding Yan's eyes swept across the battlefield, and immediately arranged for the soldiers to simply clean up the battlefield, and then led the team to chase after him.
