Chapter 1110: A Surprise Attack on the Mountain Road
Sure enough, seven or eight horsemen turned around the corner of the river beach, splashing rocks and wading through the water, and rushed here.
Yan Saburo narrowed his eyes.
With his eyesight, he could easily see that the leader was Yan Tao!
This person originally took five of his subordinates out of the house, but here it has become seven, and there are two more, seeing that the armor is not Yan Tao's men, it is probably the sentry who led the way in.
It seems that Duan Fang's plan is at least half completed, and he did ambush Grate Mountain in advance before Yan Tao, and also calculated the advance route of the prey.
The question is, will he be able to make a successful sneak attack?
Yan Saburo also pressed the idea of turning around and leaving, planning to wait and see for a while.
The mountain road is not as smooth as the official road, and it is common that the ground is scattered with large and small stones, even if Yan Tao is anxious, he does not dare to ride and gallop, but he is afraid that the horse will lose more than he loses.
Rao was so, and the group quickly approached the river valley.
Right now, Yan Saburo was silent. Yan Tao has already stepped into the ambush circle of Duanfang, and the latter must take advantage of it now if he wants to make a move.
Sure enough, there were a few soft sounds on the halfway slope of the river valley he was directly opposed, and arrows rained down!
Caught off guard at this moment, Yan Tao subconsciously summoned his true power and blocked all the arrows that were shot at him, but two of the four people behind him were hit by arrows.
The mountain road is more than ten zhang away from the half-slope. Such a close-range shot is impossible to prevent.
Yan Tao and the others had already run most of the distance, and the wind and waves had been calm, and this road had long been controlled by officers and soldiers, and no one expected that they would be suddenly attacked when they were fast entering the Iron Fan Valley.
These priests are so daring!
Yan Saburo raised his eyebrows: "So many?"
He saw only a few shadows swaying on the opposite slope, but there were as many as seven or eight hundred arrows shot!
One person shoots a maximum of two arrows, so how many people are actually lurking on the opposite hillside?
Judging from the number of arrows, there are at least hundreds, right?
Obviously, Yan Tao also thought the same, he didn't love fighting, and he didn't charge the hillside, but just shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to follow him and step up.
As long as you break through the ambush in front of you, ten miles ahead is the Iron Fan Valley, which is the camp where the officers and soldiers are stationed!
Then there was a second round of shooting on the hillside.
As soon as the last arrow was fired, a crowd rushed down the hillside and rushed straight to Yan Tao!
"Wow. Chitose exclaimed, "There are so many people?"
Yan Saburo overturned his previous view again, how many hundreds rushed down the hillside?
It's strange, so many people are hiding in Banpo, how can they escape the observation of him and Chitose?
These more than 1,000 people have different colors, obviously not official soldiers, but they all hold bright weapons in their hands, from broadswords to halberds. Yan Saburo could determine with just a glance that the quality of these weapons was very good.
The people at the front were all covered with their faces, and their bodies were smart, and Yan Saburo recognized Duan Fang from his clothes. This person abandoned his long sword and didn't use it, held a ghost-headed big knife instead, jumped down from the middle of the slope, and slashed at Yan Tao's head!
This time he made a big move, who could associate him with the approachable, gentle and elegant Elder Duan?
Yan Tao deserved to be the commander of the battlefield, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and raised his spear to swing his broadsword.
But at this moment, the enemy also flew in, and the Tong Yuan people were in close combat.
More than 1,000 people ambushed the six horsemen, which was almost no suspense. Even though the opponent's skills are average, they are not well-trained elite soldiers, but many people hold hooks and claws in their hands, and they catch the war horses of the Tong Yuan people.
Punch the master to death.
When the horse falls, where else can the man flee?
Yan Tao and Duan Fang fought in one place, which was extremely fierce. One wants to escape, the other hopes to fight against the water, and in an instant, he has the strength to fight for his life.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Tao screamed and fell down two more people.
They were stabbed alive.
There were still three left, all of whom followed closely behind Zhu Guo, trying their best to narrow the defensive circle.
Yan Tao also knew that the general situation was not good, so he turned his head to his henchmen and said, "Go to the mountain and call for reinforcements!" He was entangled by the enemy leader, and he couldn't get out, and his subordinates still had a chance.
The latter replied "yes", turned his horse's head and rushed to the hillside.
But there were too many enemies around, and he rushed left and right, and he didn't know how many he stabbed, but he still couldn't get out.
Yan Tao slashed down regardless of Duan Fang, the long halberd pierced into the ground, and Zhenli came out with a muffled "bang", and actually shook out a long crack in the ground within three zhang in front of his subordinates.
The enemy who stood in front of the halberd was also shaken and staggered, and he couldn't get up for a while.
In the encirclement, he forcibly opened a short passage for his henchmen, but the long knife at the end also cut through the outer armor and slashed at his abdomen.
Blood gushed out, wetting the saddle.
Yan Tao was unconscious, and roared and poked with a spear, faster and more ruthless than before.
The wounded tiger is the most ferocious, and so is the fierce general. As soon as he raised his hand, he killed three people in a row under Duanfang's nose, and he was incoherent!
The Duo people were taken aback, and the offensive was suspended.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Yan Tao's men galloped their horses, rushed out of the gap, and went straight up the hill!
"Stop him!" Duan Fang shouted, and was about to fly to pounce.
This time, Yan Tao pestered him to death.
Seeing that there was an archer holding a bow not far away, Yan Tao didn't think about it, pulled out the sword at his waist and threw it with his backhand, hitting him in the chest, and stabbed him forward and came out.
As soon as the effort was delayed, the henchmen immediately went up the mountain.
Although there were many people brought out by Duanfang, there was no horse support, and although there were many people chasing after them, they couldn't catch up with them.
Damn! The Tong Yuan people's barracks are just ahead, and it doesn't take a quarter of an hour to get here.
He was secretly anxious, if Jin Er was here, it would only take a few breaths to catch up with that guy.
Yan Tao's abdomen was bleeding nonstop, but his face showed joy. As long as his henchmen ran up the hill and set off fireworks, the battalion would immediately send troops.
More importantly, Tong Yuan's officers and soldiers have pushed the front line into the Tiefan Valley and entered the stage of encircling and annihilating Qingzhi Town.
Needless to say, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, these untouchables want to surprise the soldiers to go around the back of the Tong Yuan people, and take the army by surprise!
If Yan Tao didn't pass through this river valley at this moment, the Duo people's conspiracy would most likely succeed. It was getting dark, and the night was just the right cover for their surprise attack.
For his own life, for Tong Yuan's officers and soldiers, he must release this firework!
In the blink of an eye, Yan Tao's henchmen had already rushed halfway up the mountain.
The summit was so steep that the horse could not go up, so he had to jump off the horse and climb up as fast as he could. Only by climbing to a high place can the fireworks released be discovered by the Iron Fan Valley.
"Release, release quickly!" He heard the roar of Zhu Guo from below, and looked down to see that Zhu Guo and his party were surrounded by water, like a small island in the ocean, and they would be swallowed up by the wind and waves in a blink of an eye.
