Chapter 1,169: Join forces and survive from desperate situations?
It turns out that the so-called strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao could in turn become another strategy to lure Wei Yan and others who were unable to escape.
Wei Yan and the others were in a highly stressful environment, and it was inevitable that their thinking would be limited. Now Peng Hu Feizhan's plan caught them off guard.
At the same time, Pang Tong at the bottom of the mountain had already reached up, and naturally they also heard the screams coming from the top of the mountain.
Assuming that what was uploaded from the top of the mountain were some so-called "secret signals", maybe Pang Tong really would not let the army enter the mountain easily.
But precisely because of his eagerness to save people, even Pang Tong did not dare to show any neglect at this moment.
In short, the Shanyue people led by Peng Hu, Fei Zhan and others achieved good results on both sides in this first confrontation with the regular army.
The only problem is that what they are facing is not an enemy with a similar number of people - Pang Tong's army, totaling 20,000 people, is rushing towards the mountain in a mighty torrent.
You have the upper hand in the first round of confrontation, but what will happen next?
——
Sure enough, Pang Tong's army suffered a big blow due to a round of volleys caught off guard by the enemy.
But after all, Pang Tong was not weak at all in terms of on-the-spot reaction. Judging from the casualties nearby, Pang Tong immediately determined the weak points of the enemy's attack they faced.
"Southeast! That's the weakest point. Hit the troops and break out to the southeast!"
"Wang Wu! You lead a team of soldiers and horses and continue to communicate with General Wei Yan! The enemy has deployed troops here, but it is also a good opportunity for General Wei Yan and others to break out!"
"Here!"
Pang Tong's judgment was correct, because their side was attacked, and the pressure faced by Wei Yan and others was instantly reduced a lot.
After Wei Yan, who was near the mountain peak, felt this change, he immediately rushed down the mountain.
And soon, he heard the sound of fighting halfway up the mountain.
"It's the military advisors! There was absolutely no mistake this time!"
Wei Yan patted his stiff face and cheered up. From now on, because the arrow rain was too dense, Wei Yan had to hold up a shield himself, and the impact from the shield not only shook his arms.
The numbness also made his head extremely heavy.
But the words remain the same, Wei Yan himself is very strong, whether he is commanding an army or using one-man force, he is excellent. Once he figured out the enemy's tactics, his thinking became much clearer.
Encouraged by Wei Yan, the soldiers cheered up one after another. The soldiers with shields on both sides escorted the large troops inside, and there were people holding long swords above their heads to deflect the chaotic arrows. Under such defense, the soldiers in the team
The casualty rate is also falling rapidly.
And there is another very crucial point. Wei Yan discovered that the enemy's arrows were basically self-made without uniform specifications, and there was a clear gap in quality with Jiangdong's regular army.
Except for the scouts in their army who have now put on leather armor, most of them are still wearing cavalry armor. Although the activities did not go well at the beginning and they suffered a lot, Wei Yan always insisted that if it was not necessary, he would
Don't take off the armor - it has an excellent effect now.
Some of the stray arrows that barely passed through the defenses of the Wei Yan army were blocked by their sophisticated armor.
It can only be said that after Liu Bei suffered a loss in the battle of Hanzhong, he did not dare to save anything on cavalry. If the equipment, military rations, treatment, etc. can be more luxurious, there must be no ambiguity.
The toughness of an army created in this way is truly unmatched by the Shanyue people.
Not long after, the density of the arrow rain dropped significantly. Wei Yan's glance told everyone that they had probably broken out of the encirclement. The next priority was naturally to find Pang Tong and join Pang Tong's army.
At this moment, Wang Wu's sharp shout came from deep in the forest——
Having learned from the past, Wei Yan naturally did not dare to be negligent in any way, because the voice was quite clear, and he immediately warned the other party not to continue approaching unless the agreed code could be told.
When Wang Wu heard the clear signal from Wei Yan, he almost cried and immediately responded hastily.
After receiving Wang Wu's response, Wei Yan could finally breathe a sigh of relief this time.
"We can join together! Don't be careless!"
Wei Yan urged, while using secret codes to communicate.
After a while, Wei Yan finally came face to face with the embarrassed Wang Wu.
When he saw Wei Yan's ragged clothes, Wang Wu felt quite uncomfortable, but when he was about to plead guilty to Wei Yan, Wei Yan stopped him:
"Don't say too much. We still need to deal with the enemies in the forest first. Where is the military advisor? Were you also ambushed?"
"Well...that's right. The military advisor told me to come to you first. After we meet up, we can rush to the southeast to meet up."
"Well, in that case..."
"Zhang Ying! Follow us quickly, we have to quickly join the main force! We can't give the enemy any more chance to divide the battlefield!"
He greeted behind him, and Zhang Ying quickly led the team to rush forward. The three teams met, lowered their figures in the forest, and quickly rushed towards the direction Pang Tong said.
——
"Brother! They seem to have reattached their heads."
A burly figure shuttled freely through the forest, and soon after, he finally stopped next to a giant tree - this was the temporary stronghold of the Shanyue people, and it was also the command point of Fei Zhan who launched the attack on Pang Tong and others.
Fei Zhan was squatting on the ground, as if he was drawing something with a branch. After hearing Peng Hu's report, he immediately stood up and erased the traces on the ground.
"Have you counted the casualties on both sides?"
"There are more than thirty brothers who are slightly injured, sixteen who are seriously injured and unable to continue fighting, and six brothers..."
"Well, when it's all over, I'll be responsible for informing their families - how about the enemy?"
The name Shanyue sounds unpleasant, but compared to the army, what maintains them is a kind of family-like friendship that goes beyond comrades-in-arms. The death of someone will naturally bring sadness.
But Fei Zhan was obviously mentally prepared. He asked calmly, while Peng Hu quickly cheered up and reported:
"The first round of surprise attacks earlier killed at least 200 of the opponent's troops. With the arrival of the opponent's large forces, the same attack was more effective against them, with at least 1,000 casualties."
Because the battle has not yet completely ended, Peng Hu naturally cannot give precise figures.
But just looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, Pang Tong did indeed suffer a serious blow this time.
Fei Zhan nodded and had a rough idea in his mind. Then he looked up at the sun in the sky and estimated the approximate time:
"It has been nearly three hours, and the sun will set in a while. As long as we can stop them for a while before the sun sets, our mission will be completed, and the rest will be left to 'them'."
Fei Zhan said this without wavering in his eyes at all.
