Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth the rain in Wushiling(1/2)
"General, the enemy has retreated. Should we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" The soldiers on Wushi Ridge looked at Ma Tianyun and asked.
"General Ma, let's catch up and annihilate these cavalry." Shen Huocheng looked at Ma Tianqiu and shouted excitedly.
Ma Tianyun glanced at him, pointed to the bottom of the canyon and said: "If you are not satisfied, let's fire another round, but no pursuit is allowed. This is a military order. If anyone dares to violate it, I will chop off his head!"
Shen Huocheng and others were stunned for a while, then they touched their heads for a long time and said with a smile: "In this excitement, I almost forgot about the business. Send the order, all the soldiers, let's fire another round of volley, and send the prairie cavalry back to Xichun City!"
"Send the order, let's fire another salvo and send the prairie cavalry back to Xichun City!"
"Pass the order..."
There was a sound on the mountain ridge, and the soldiers who could not bear it raised their swords and aimed at the evacuating prairie cavalry below.
Another three thousand arrows poured down mercilessly, like a rainstorm approaching, and in an instant, blood flew again.
Li Ye's plan took another step forward and the ambush was successful.
The sword finally came out of its sheath.
The entire official road in Wushiling is filled with arrow air.
With no casualties on our side, the opponent suffered more than half casualties.
Countless arrows continuously shot into the armor of the prairie cavalry, making a series of sharp sounds.
The killing power of this kind of arrow is more than twice that of the boxwood bow.
In less than an hour, the arrow energy dissipated, and with it, countless prairie cavalry dissipated and turned into flying ashes.
...
Yelu Fengyun and Wu Changtian ran towards the mouth of the valley in panic under the cover of their own soldiers. The prairie cavalry who had lost their command no longer appeared in the same formation.
Everyone hated having two legs, some were riding on military horses and galloping, some were running wildly without their horses, and some injured soldiers were crying and crawling out.
In the face of unknown fear, even the god-like legend cannot withstand the threat of death.
"Quickly, release Hai Dongqing and tell His Highness that we were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties. We are returning to Xichun. We have no way to go to Xiaguan today."
Yelu Fengyun looked at Wu Changtian and said.
"I will write a letter to His Highness right away. Don't worry, General. We have left the canyon and are safe for the time being."
While Wu Changtian comforted Yelu Fengyun, he arranged for his soldiers to fly to Haidongqing to report the news.
"I didn't expect that the other party would be so insidious and waiting for us here!" Wu Changtian said bitterly.
"I was too careless. I thought they were small and didn't dare to fight us in this windy and snowy day. I didn't expect that they were already prepared. Forget it, let's see how His Highness responds." Yelu Fengyun looked at him and said in a deep voice.
said.
"We were seriously damaged this time, and I don't know how to explain it to His Highness when we go back." Wu Changtian sighed.
"So what, it has happened. Let's work together to find a solution to this troublesome problem."
Wu Changtian nodded and said in a solemn voice: "Then let it go."
"Count the men and horses, put the disabled soldiers on horses and bring them back to Xichun. The uninjured soldiers will walk back. Don't leave behind the brothers who have escaped!"
Yelu Fengyun, who has regained his consciousness, finally has a hint of the majesty of a general like me.
...
"Go down with the order, make a fire and cook on the spot, eat enough, then sleep, and leave Wushiling after dark." Ma Tianyun said in a solemn voice as he looked at Shen Huocheng and other soldiers.
"We know how to make fire, aren't we afraid that the grassland tribes will find out?" Shen Huocheng asked.
Ma Tianyun looked at him and smiled, and replied: "They can't protect themselves right now. It would be great if they could return to Xichun at nightfall. They won't have time to take care of us. Hurry up and let all the soldiers fill their stomachs. There will be a big battle tomorrow."
beat!"
"That's the same reason. Now that they are frightening us, we won't dare to fight again in a while." Shen Huocheng looked at him and laughed.
"Have a good rest. We still have a fight tomorrow. Only after we have a full meal will we have strength." Ma Tianyun raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said quietly.
"Go down with the order, start cooking, and seize the time to rest." The ordering soldier had already shouted.
"Brothers, start cooking!"
For a moment, there were fireworks rising from Wushi Ridge, but they were not very obvious amid the snow and fog that filled the sky.
...
It's three o'clock in the morning.
Outside Xiaguan City, Li Ye was lying in a tent to rest.
Zhu Tianhu walked in, looked at him and smiled and said: "The news came from Wushiling that our army has won a great victory, and more than half of the Xichun cavalry have suffered casualties. They are now on their way back to Xichun."
"Did you win the battle? Okay, let's borrow some more arrows and evacuate after dark."
After Li Cheng heard the news, he stood up, picked up the iron bow, and patted Mu Mu who was hiding in the blanket: "Sister, let's go shooting!"
Mu Mu, who was sleeping like a kitten, heard Li Ye's voice, showed her little face and asked: "Is there going to be another war?"
"Are you going?" Li Ye patted his robe and walked out.
"Go, why don't you go?" Mu Mu got out of the blanket and followed him with an iron bow.
"I saw that you didn't wake up, so I thought you didn't want to get up yet and wanted to sleep a little longer." Li Ye also smiled when he saw it.
Mu Mu glared at him and replied: "Of course I have to sleep more when I have nothing to do. Isn't this a war? I'm still waiting to become a female general? Hurry up!"
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, after this battle is over, I will ask you for credit."
Mu Mu looked at him and smiled and said: "That's pretty much it. From now on, I will be just like Brother Nalan. I will be a female general."
"Go down with the order, beat the drums and shout, and prepare to fire a volley at the defenders above the city wall." Li Ye looked at Zhu Tianhu and said.
"Go down with the order, beat the drums and shout, and prepare to fire a volley at the defenders above the city wall."
"Go down with the order, beat the drums and shout, and prepare to fire a volley at the defenders above the city wall."
In less than a moment, the thundering drums and shouts rang out again from the position outside the city. Li Ye turned back to look at Mu Mu and said: "Aim at the city wall, shoot whoever you want!"
After speaking, he drew his iron bow, mounted an arrow, and aimed at the city wall.
...
The thundering war drums startled Yue Tianlang, Yue Meng and Yue Laqi who were worried on the tower.
They had just received Haidongqing from Xichun, and the reinforcements were attacked at Wushiling. They were unable to rush to Xiaguan and asked them to defend the city no matter what.
Yue Tianlang looked at the two of them with a gloomy face and said: "It's up to us tonight. More than half of the 20,000 troops from Xichun have been killed or wounded. It is estimated that it will take until noon tomorrow at the earliest before the reinforcements can reach Xiaguan."
"What do these guys want? They don't think about attacking the city, do they?" Yue Meng said bitterly.
"Go out and have a look." Yue Tianlang glanced at him, pulled the cloak around him, and walked out.
The three of them walked outside the city tower and saw smoke rising again outside the city, war drums roaring in the sky, and the shouts getting louder and louder.
"What tricks do these guys want to play if they just shout and don't attack?" Yue Laqi glanced outside with a look of confusion on his face.
As he was speaking, a black iron arrow cut through the snowflakes in the sky without any warning, hitting Yue Laqi in the chest. Before Yue Sirius and Yue Meng could react, Yue Laqi had already
He fell heavily to the ground.
"Enemy attack! Archers prepare!" Yue Meng shouted and glanced outside the city wall, trying to see where the arrows were coming from.
"Buzz" Another iron arrow flew over and hit Yue Meng's left arm. The powerful arrow pushed him down onto Yue Tianlang's chest, and they both fell to the ground.
How fast is an instant?
The Buddha said that one moment is twelve moments, and one moment is just the snap of a finger.
From the sound of the war drums, to Yue Tianlang and the three men coming out to check, to Yue Tianqi and Yue Meng being hit by arrows, it was only a moment.
After coming back to his senses, Yue Tianlang hugged Yue Meng who was hit by an arrow, and shouted loudly: "All archers are ready, aim at the enemy camp, and fire in two rounds!"
"All archers are ready, aim at the enemy camp, and fire two volleys!"
"All archers are ready, aim at the enemy camp, and fire two volleys!"
"The general has been hit by an arrow, please come quickly!"
"The general has been hit by an arrow, please come and help!"
However, before the arrows on the city wall could fly out, Zhu Tianhu had already commanded a thousand soldiers to fire a round of arrows.
I saw the rain of arrows from the locust boats flying towards the Xianguan city wall. Although there was no target, there were still some prairie soldiers who emerged from the grassland and fell to the ground with arrows. This is the lethality caused by the psychological warfare in an instant!
Seeing the injured comrades lying on the ground aroused the hatred of the grassland soldiers. They drew their bows and arrows one after another. Under the command of the commander, they shot revenge arrows at the soldiers of southern Xinjiang outside the city.
Suddenly, a rain of tens of thousands of iron arrows was like black locusts crossing the border, flying towards the disguised straw men of the southern Xinjiang soldiers.
For a moment, there was the harsh sound of an arrow hitting a straw man, but it was the most beautiful sound in the ears of Li Ye and a thousand soldiers.
On top of the city tower, a field medical officer had arrived to examine the two men's injuries. Yue Laqi, who had an arrow in his chest, had been killed the moment he was hit by the arrow.
Yue Meng was hit by an arrow in his left arm and was not seriously injured. He could recover after removing the arrow branch and resting for three months.
Looking at Yue Laqi who was seriously injured and died, Yue Meng roared hoarsely and said angrily: "Brother, you must avenge Brother Laqi. They are hurting people with cold arrows and are acting like villains!"
Yue Tianlang had a gloomy face, looking at Yue Laqi, who had been covered with a white cloth on the ground, and Yue Meng, who was lying on the chair.
