The Xixia people were unprepared. After being shot, the entire team panicked.
"Sir, they have an ambush and we have fallen into a trap!"
Yuan Lang and others specialize in picking out lone people to shoot. The more panicked the enemy troops are, the more accurate their targets will be.
More and more people fell, and the number of people on the Xixia side soon decreased by one-third. It was like a shot of chicken blood, and the decadent morale of the Yan army was rekindled.
The people of Xixia are not vegetarians either. The leading man gave the order, "Form up a team and put up your shield!"
The remaining soldiers gathered together, and those on the periphery picked up their shields and looked around. The entire team turned into an iron barrel, and any arrows fired by Dayan were blocked by the shields.
"They don't have many people, kill them!"
The man held a black knife high, his silver-white armor stained with blood, and his face was cold, pointing directly at the people behind the rock.
Yuan Lang looked at the enemy soldiers coming towards him, a look of solemnity flashed across his face, he waved his hand and whispered an order.
"Retreat first!"
They have few people and still have missions ahead of them. It is not a wise choice to confront the enemy directly. The only thing to do now is to wait for time and look for opportunities to kill them.
The terrain of Phoenix Mountain is treacherous and covered by dense rocks. Although the two teams clashed, the scale was not large, and both Xixia and Dayan suffered casualties.
Yuan Lang is indeed the most capable lieutenant beside Jiang Zhe. He has rich experience in leading troops in battles. He led his men around but failed to let the enemy catch him.
The Xixia people were left behind by him like walking dogs. A group of people were so aggrieved. After passing through a dense stone area, the Xixia people were surrounded by Dayan from behind. The Dayan army that was still in front of them suddenly appeared from behind.
, directly killing hundreds of Xixia soldiers.
Nowadays, Xixia has only half as many people as Dayan, and they are no longer as arrogant as before.
"Sir, these Dayan people are very cunning. They don't dare to fight openly, but they also want to carry out sneak attacks. Most of our people have been shot and wounded by them. If this continues, I'm afraid we will all fall into their hands!"
"Yes, sir, this Yuan Lang is Jiang Zhe's sidekick. He seems to have a lot of skills. To be sure, let's ask the master for some reinforcements..."
After this battle, these people were a little afraid of Yuan Lang. This man and his men killed hundreds of them in Xixia without anyone noticing, while Dayan only suffered a few casualties. The difference made everyone frightened.
The leading man had a dark face. When he came, he swore to Tuoba Mingge that he would capture Yuan Lang and bring back Dayan's food and grass. But now, he hasn't even seen Yuan Lang's face.
Well, most of the men and horses had already been folded in, which made the man angry.
Yuan Lang is Jiang Zhe's right-hand man, but he is also Tuoba Mingge's confidant. Being abused so miserably by Yuan Lang unilaterally arouses the man's competitive spirit.
He will never lose to Yuan Lang!
But Yuan Lang's side was not as easy as he imagined. The Xixia people were tough and would be deadly if they fought. In addition, they had a large number of people and had a crushing advantage. Yuan Lang did not dare to attack forcefully, so he could only lead his soldiers.
Keep retreating.
The Xixia side became fierce and stopped playing mediation games with them. The leading man asked the team to rearrange their formations. One team shot arrows in all directions, while the other team rushed directly into the dense stone to catch people.
They didn't care about life and death, and with the large number of people, they forced Dayan into a miserable situation.
The soldier next to Yuan Lang was shot in the arm. He grunted in pain, gritted his teeth and cut off the arrow. The arrow pierced his flesh, but he held on, holding a big knife in one hand and looking around with vigilant eyes.
"Brother Yuan, those sons of bitches like Xixia are dying. Our brothers may not be able to hold on!"
The situation reversed. The Xixia people were trying to capture Dayan even though they had lost eight hundred of their own and wounded one thousand of the enemy. Yuan Lang's men were gradually exposed. By the time it got dark, Dayan's side had already begun to decline.
The soldiers around him were all injured, big and small. Even Yuan Lang was slashed on the arm, bleeding profusely. They had no medicine to bandage, so they could only tear off a piece of their middle coat and wrap it around a few times to temporarily stop the bleeding.
"Brother Yuan, if this continues, we will all die!"
The Xixia people fought more and more fiercely, and they were exhausted and no longer an opponent.
Yuan Lang wiped his face silently, looked at the dark night, and made a decision in his eyes.
"Retreat to the valley."
There is a closed canyon not far from here, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one exit. Before, they did not go inside because they were afraid of being blocked by the Xixia people, but now the Xixia people are pressing forward step by step, and they have no way out. Guo Zhao made a quick decision
, took the remaining people and hid inside.
The exit was blocked by big rocks, and two people were left guarding the entrance. They finally reached a safe place, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hey! Damn it, these Xixia barbarians are really nothing. They fight like they don't care about their lives. I almost lost my arm."
The soldiers sitting on the ground were all wounded, and their hearts were filled with hatred when they thought of Xixia's cruelty.
"Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi have all been killed. I will kill all these barbarians sooner or later!"
They have been under Yuan Lang for many years, and they are more like brothers than brothers. Although casualties on the battlefield are common, seeing their brothers die in front of their eyes made everyone feel uncomfortable. Regardless of the wounds on their bodies, they patted the ground hard, and the blood from the wounds was all wet.
seeped out.
"Even if I risk my life, I will avenge them!"
The crowd was excited and their hatred for Xixia reached its peak.
Yuan Lang naturally hates it, but he still has some sense.
"The general's order has not yet been carried out. The capital's food and grass have been trapped in the mountains for many days. We have to find a way out."
It's snowing heavily outside now, and it's so cold at night that it can freeze people to death. They can stay warm by hiding in the valley, but the Xixia people outside can't wait.
They were afraid that they would fight quickly, otherwise the one who froze to death would be a Xixia man.
"Brother Yuan, tell us and we will listen to you."
Without Yuan Lang, they would have been surrounded by the enemy a long time ago. How would they still be alive now?
Moreover, the Xixia people came out of nowhere. They set out from Huquan Temple without alerting anyone. Why did the Xixia army catch up so quickly and come towards them?
When everyone asked their questions, Yuan Lang frowned and clenched his fists tightly. He didn't even care if the wounds on his arms were open and bleeding.
"There are spies in Huquan Temple."
"Who is the spy? It's not those bald donkeys, is it?"
They arrived at Huquan Temple and controlled all the monks in the temple. Those monks did not go out on weekdays. In addition, it was cold and there were no pilgrims in the temple. Logically speaking, their whereabouts should not be revealed.
"I suspect that the spy is with Madam Jiang. Her maid must have colluded with the Xixia people for a long time..."
Yuan Lang did not hide it from them. This was a major matter and must be reported to the general, otherwise there would be endless trouble.
