Chapter 590: Halfway Ambush
The waning moon shines across the sky, the light is extremely dim, and the roads in the distance cannot be seen clearly.
Torches stood up in the air, crackling and igniting. The dense torches were connected one by one, winding and long, as if a long red dragon lying across the official road, magnificent. This winding and long team was the Jizhou army led by Qiu Hua and Qin Li.
The two of them rushed back quickly with the rescued remaining soldiers.
In the eyes of the two, the enemy may have begun to attack the camp and they must hurry up and return.
The army was rushing to the road, and the noise was very loud.
This army can be seen moving far away.
There are many hillsides in this area, 30 miles south of Jixian City. The roads are six or seven meters apart, and there is a hillside four or five meters high. Immediately, there are hillsides a few meters apart. The dense hillsides are one by one, densely packed. This is why the roads in this area are tortuous, sometimes turning around and sometimes changing directions.
Qiu Hua and Qin Li led their troops into this area. Looking down from a high place, you can clearly find that the soldiers walking among the hills were like curved earthworms, curved.
On a hillside in the center of this area, there are Youzhou soldiers lying in dense weed jungle.
Among them, Hongshu Si is here.
Hongshusi watched Jizhou soldiers enter this area one by one, grinning, and a bloodthirsty light appeared in his eyes. Hongshusi's position is very critical. He is in the center and can look forward and behind from afar.
"General, the Jizhou army has all entered our ambush area."
A soldier looked down at him with excitement.
Hong Shusi looked calm and shook her head and said, "Don't be anxious, wait a little longer. Wait until the soldiers in front of the Jizhou Army go deeper. At that time, we launch an attack and they can't escape even if they want to withdraw, so that they can achieve their goal."
The soldier suppressed his restlessness and continued to observe. After about half a quarter of an hour, the soldier couldn't help but say again: "General, the enemy has all entered."
"Send an arrow and start attacking."
Hong Shusi grinned, with a strong smile in her eyes.
When the soldiers get the order, prepare immediately.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Three consecutive arrows broke through the sky, and under the night sky, it looked very harsh.
This sound spread throughout this area.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sound of shouts and killing suddenly came from the hillsides in this area. Archers suddenly appeared in the jungles on the hillsides. These soldiers took bows and shot arrows, constantly shooting arrows down the mountain.
The bows and arrows were like rain of arrows, constantly shooting and killing the advancing Jizhou army.
This attack came too suddenly.
Many soldiers were shot and killed instantly without preparation.
The Jizhou army suddenly became in chaos!
Qin Li and Qiu Hua were at the forefront of the army. Both of them were anxious when they saw the army being attacked.
I thought the Youzhou army was going to attack the camp, but I didn't expect that they would attack the army halfway. Obviously, the Youzhou army deliberately said that it was going to attack the camp, and the real purpose was to lure them back.
Before, Qin Li and Qiu Hua rushed to rescue overnight. The soldiers gritted their teeth and rushed for a long way. After arriving at the battlefield, they found that the war had ended. Then, the soldiers in the army had to hurry back again, rushing all the way, and the soldiers were very tired.
The situation can be imagined when the army was suddenly ambushed.
"Start up and rush out."
Qin Li rushed in the front, and he shouted and ran wildly.
The enemy's bows and arrows were surrounded by them, so it was very difficult to launch a counterattack. Therefore, Qin Li's first reaction was to quickly fight out with the soldiers.
Qiu Hua followed the soldiers with a solemn expression.
"Ka! Da! Da!!"
Qin Li ran quickly, intending to rush out with the soldiers.
"Swish!Swish!!"
Suddenly, dense bows and arrows shot from the front.
Puff! Puff!!!
Countless bows and arrows shot towards Qin Li, but Qin Li couldn't avoid it at all. In an instant, whether it was Qin Li or the war horse under Qin Li's crotch, they were shot into flesh sieves, and their bodies were filled with bows and arrows.
The fire shone, and at the forefront of the road, an army composed of spear arrays appeared.
Behind the spearmen are the archers.
Obviously, the task of the spearmen was to block the Jizhou army's way, while the archers were responsible for killing the enemy. The general in charge in front of the road was Gu Lie, who kept ordering attacks.
Seeing the enemy die, I feel even more excited.
At the same time, Ji Yuan led his army to fight out in the rear of the Jizhou Army, cut off the rear route, and blocked the killing from the rear.
In fact, this strategy was formulated by Guan Jing.
Guan Jing's plan was very simple, to kill the living forces of the Youzhou Army. First ambush Li You, and then ambush the reinforcements of the Jizhou Army in this area. The army used hillsides to divide the opponent into pieces, creating an opportunity to kill the enemy.
Destroy the other party in one fell swoop!
Guan Jing’s plan was undoubtedly successful.
At this moment, countless soldiers from Jizhou were shot and killed by archers.
Go back, can't go out!
Rush forward, can't rush out!
All the soldiers were trapped inside and in danger.
Qin Li was killed, leaving only Qiu Hua as a general. After observing the situation, he shouted: "Send me an order, counterattack, counterattack every hill. If we can't escape, the enemy will not want to escape." Unfortunately, his voice was immediately drowned. Qiu Hua took a deep breath, looked at the guard beside him, and ordered: "Call with me!"
A dozen guards nodded, all of them looked serious.
"We cannot escape from every hill, nor can the enemy escape."
Qiu Hua yelled, and the soldiers around him yelled immediately after hearing this.
However, the voice was not neat and not many people heard it. Qiu Hua immediately adjusted, and then a dozen soldiers roared neatly: "Counterattack every mountain, we can't escape, nor can they escape."
A dozen people yelled in unison, shaking the sky.
Immediately, when the soldiers around heard this, they began to yell.
This order was issued, and the grassroots officers in the Jizhou army quickly understood.
Since you can't escape, then fight!
"Kill, counterattack!"
The officers in the army adjusted their strategies, stabilized the restless soldiers, and led the soldiers to use their flesh and blood as shields to rush up the hillside. Each hill is not high and there is nothing to defend. The only advantage of the Youzhou Army is that it can kill from a high place and gain a certain advantage.
The confrontation between the two sides became increasingly fierce.
However, the situation on the battlefield was beneficial to the Youzhou army and was very unfavorable to the Jizhou army.
Gu Lie was in front of the army and watched the officers of the Jizhou Army organize soldiers to resist, saying to himself: "The Jizhou Army is really resilience, and at this point, it can still resist. It is not simple, it is indeed not simple." After saying that, Gu Lie waved the steel knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill me and destroy the Jizhou Army."
The spearmen crushed forward and kept approaching.
