During the escape process, Wei Yan certainly did not sit still and wait for death.
He led his skilled scouts and wandered on both sides of the army. Following the direction of the arrows, Wei Yan really caught a few people from Shanyue who had not had time to escape.
But it was a drop in the bucket. Although they killed several enemies head-on, the fighting power of the people of Shanyue in the forest was not what they were bragging about.
Before Wei Yan could figure out the enemy's attack route, his armor was chopped to pieces because he couldn't dodge.
Yes, compared to the defenders of Jiangdong, the people of Shanyue who have survived until now are all very skilled. In addition, they can now keep up with supplies, and many people's bodies have quickly recovered to their former strength——
Just imagine, you will face hundreds of experienced and physically strong hunters in the forest. Even if you have the advantage of equipment, if you are not completely overwhelmed, once you are dragged into a protracted and guerrilla war by these hunters,
Even Wei Yan couldn't withstand such an offensive.
The person who chopped Wei Yan's armor into pieces was a strong Shanyue man holding a short axe. This ax was also due to Wei Yan's quick reaction. He felt the sound of breaking wind behind him and rolled directly forward without looking back. Even so
His armor was still cut open.
The huge impact made Wei Yan vomit blood. The scouts who were watching from the side quickly shot arrows at the incoming attacker. Unfortunately, they failed to hurt the opponent and could only watch the opponent retreat.
"General!"
"Leave me alone! Cover the army and go to higher ground - at least find a high ground where we can build a position and wait for the military division's rescue..."
Wei Yan immediately refused the soldiers' help and quickly wiped the blood from his mouth.
But he originally wanted to tell the scouts and let them guide the army's route, but he paused at the end of the sentence.
Waiting for rescue?
Wei Yan suddenly realized a huge problem.
He couldn't help but look down the mountain with some wavering.
Sure enough, at a glance, apart from the deep dense forest, nothing could be seen at the foot of the mountain, which meant——
They had no way of telling Pang Tong that they were ambushed.
Even make some bold guesses...
"We...were used as bait?"
Wei Yan is someone who has read military books after all, and he is very familiar with this scene.
Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao... It was under such circumstances that Pang Juan was ambushed and killed by Sun Bin in Maling...
Unspeakable gloom enveloped Wei Yan's heart, but... the smell of pursuing soldiers forced Wei Yan to continue retreating to higher ground.
——
Time returns to the present.
In fact, Wei Yan, who had built a position on a high ground, had not been attacked by the enemy for a long time.
But the problem is that once they want to leave their position and go deep into the forest, unpredictable attacks will follow.
They were watched.
The so-called position to protect them has become their cage at this time.
What really made them anxious was the sudden noise coming from down the mountain——
Since he could not get out of the formation, Wei Yan directly sent people to stick to the ground to feel the vibrations of the ground.
And just as Wei Yan expected, a large army descended from the mountain.
Wei Yan immediately realized that this was the opportunity they had been waiting for for a long time, and hurriedly told the soldiers around him:
"The military advisors are here. We must tell them as soon as possible that there is an ambush on the mountain..."
"As long as we can get in touch with the army, we can definitely defeat their ambush easily based on the previous attacks we suffered!"
Wei Yanqiang cheered up and wanted to give a speech to inspire the soldiers around him.
In an instant, I heard a familiar sound coming from the far end of the mountain road.
"General!"
Zhang Ying beside Wei Yan became excited. Not only him, but also many scouts heard this sound.
"That's right! It's Wang Wu! The military advisor and others are already here!"
The only pity is that because the sound was too far away, Wei Yan couldn't hear clearly what message the army was conveying.
But Wei Yan would never let go of such an opportunity.
So he immediately asked Zhang Ying to fight out of the battle with him, and at least pass the news to Wang Wu and where the army was.
Wei Yan was really excited.
Looking back at the decisions he had made before, he knew that he had been plotted by the enemy, but he also saw that the number of soldiers around him, even though the opponent was completely in control of the situation, only caused about 300 casualties, which was not much.
That said, he has certainly done his best.
And if you think about it carefully, it is precisely because of their existence that the army was not ambushed by the other party from the beginning. In a sense, does this count as completing the task that he should complete?
As for Haikou, which Wei Yan himself boasted about before, he doesn't care about it...
Face? Can face be used as food?
Thinking of this, Wei Yan excitedly rushed out of the formation, was the first to hold up his shield, and led his army to kill down the mountain.
At the same time, he asked Zhang Ying to constantly contact Wang Wu to see if he could attract the other party's attention.
The soldiers seemed to be in high spirits - the attack was indeed coming, but compared to them who had fled in embarrassment before, they now had no fear.
Braving the rain of arrows, cutting off the hemp ropes falling from the sky, and avoiding most of the traps, the army led by Wei Yan seemed to be really about to break out of the encirclement.
However…
As the sound gets closer and closer.
Wei Yan suddenly felt an unusual smell.
"Zhang Ying...Wang Wu and the others, what are they talking about?"
"Ah...General...you...don't you understand, either?"
Zhang Ying looked at Wei Yan with an expression of surprise and even horror.
After being stunned for a few breaths, Wei Yan suddenly felt a chill rising from his back.
"Stop everyone!"
"Zhang Ying, use your loudest voice to seek a reply from Wang Wu and others..."
"Ming...understand!"
Zhang Ying did not dare to neglect and quickly used the code loudly. However, this time the code was sent out, but there was no response from the forest.
In other words... what responded to them was not the "Wang Wu" code at all, but more violent arrows.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Originally, in the highlands, there were some dead trees, cliffs and boulders as obstacles, but Wei Yan had already minimized the casualties of his army.
However, because of "Wang Wu"'s code, they suddenly rushed out again.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Yan discovered that they were once again surrounded by enemies - but the question was, how did the enemies know the secret code they passed?
There is no time left for Wei Yan to think now.
He only knew that he had learned experience in the previous hardships, but he didn't know that the half-filled bottle of ink was the most life-threatening at the critical moment.
"General! We...we can't hold it anymore!!"
The soldiers screamed one after another, but now Wei Yan had no time to take care of himself, how could he go to rescue his subordinates?
The important thing is... Wei Yan feels a little cold now.
He found that they had been manipulated by the enemy from beginning to end. Regardless of success or failure, he could not escape the blame when he returned to the army this time.
