However, even so, the more than fifty experts did not dare to rush into this torn hole for a while, because the moment they broke through the hole and rushed in, they were swarmed by the opponent's second line of defense.
Dozens of military intelligence agency spies shot them all with repeated crossbows.
The remaining people saw the opportunity quickly and retreated first. However, they were frightened for a while and did not dare to step forward at all.
At this time, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers left from the original six thousand soldiers. At this time, they were completely beaten and their courage was broken. Even if the reward was increased to ten thousand taels of silver per head, they could no longer win.
Inspire them to have the courage to rush forward.
Wang Junlin watched this scene and ordered to speed up the retreat. Although the group of government soldiers on the other side were still following closely, no one dared to step forward.
At the end of the battlefield, Captain Guo Yi and the Yuwen family disciple looked at the changes in the entire battlefield, their expressions a little ugly, but they also understood that before all the other seven armies arrived, it was impossible to fight at the moment.
However, as long as you follow the opponent closely and don't lose track, eventually the other seven armies and even more than 100,000 thieves will gather here sooner or later.
The fighting in the mountains was temporarily silent, but the screams of the wounded soldiers on the government soldiers' side continued, but no one paid attention to them, and no one treated them. The screams and wails of the wounded soldiers invisibly had a negative impact on the morale of the government soldiers.
Small impact.
Therefore, when the other seven armies came over in batches, they saw more than 4,000 corpses along the way, plus hundreds of wounded people screaming and wailing. The morale of these 40,000 people had already dropped before they started fighting.
Most of them. If they had not known that the number of people on their side was dozens of times that of the opponent, this battle would have been impossible to fight.
Four thousand, six thousand, more than nine thousand, more than twelve thousand... As the sun set, Wang Junlin led his team back over the hilltop, taking advantage of his sight being blocked,
He asked fifty spies from the Military Intelligence Agency to leave first with the small iron boxes in everyone's backpacks and arrive at the combat location in advance.
The fact that Wang Junlin's side was missing fifty people did not escape the eyes of Yu Wenhuaji, who had rushed to the front line from the foot of the mountain. The latter did not know what Wang Junlin's side was going to do, but he did not intend to wait any longer, so he gave an order.
More than 20,000 soldiers from the government who had arrived once again began to chase Wang Junlin and his party.
But it was already evening, and before they knew it, they had been killing all day...
At night, there are the sounds of wild animals in the stretching Sanyang Mountain.
Across the woods and mountains, along the meandering streams in the darkness, in a mountain forest, an ominous commotion caused by humans is happening. Clusters of torches are gathering or scattering, spreading crazily forward.
The cry of killing tore through the night sky.
"Kill!"
Waving the roaring torch in their hands, when the reward was truly raised to 500 taels of silver per head, the soldiers of the government were finally mobilized with some morale and fanatical courage. Under the leadership of some masters, they roared loudly to themselves
He mustered up his courage and rushed down the mountainside in front of him.
When crossing the unexpected boulder in front, a soldier from the government army rushed too fast to dodge, and was pushed hard by his companions. However, no one of the more than ten companions around him paid attention to him, and his head was broken and bleeding.
A comrade stepped on his back and killed the enemy in front. In the roar of fire, the soldier on the ground saw the head and arms of his comrade flying back, and felt confused.
Screams, shouts, and the sound of weapons clashing were as fierce as boiling thick porridge in the melee of hundreds of people at the front. At this time, above and below the mountainside, there were groups of people running with torches.
The crowd included the government troops rushing over in a chaotic manner, as well as Wang Junlin's forty squads who were killing them in an orderly manner, like a continuously changing curve of retreat.
At this moment, it is difficult for just forty squads to completely block the battle of 40,000 soldiers led by a group of experts. The remaining fifty spies from the Military Intelligence Bureau have also reached the first line of defense, interspersed among the ten squads.
killing people in between.
Fortunately, Wang Junlin's rapid-fire crossbows caught people off guard. The thin arrows were small and easy to carry, and everyone carried a large number of crossbow arrows. Otherwise, Wang Junlin's 300 people would really be able to face 50,000 soldiers.
It is difficult to resist or persist until the second step of the plan is implemented.
At the other end of the field of vision, the army of government troops holding torches, some in groups of three, three, five, five, or more than ten or twenty, were still charging towards us. The entire mountain range had turned into a Shura field.
The fighting on this day actually weakened as night fell, but as the sky completely plunged into darkness, Yu Wenhuaji forced the thieves under the two brothers of the Black Society and the Bai She to enter the scene, and the intensity continued to increase.
Although Wang Junlin is a master and has made almost the best use of the terrain and battle formations, his physical strength is limited after all.
"Li Mi, thanks to you this time, we brought these bandits over, otherwise fifty thousand of us alone wouldn't be able to kill Wang Junlin." Yu Wenhuaji looked at the battlefield with a gloomy expression. Apart from being horrified, he was secretly afraid.
Li Mi has just arrived nearby with 10,000 Wagang elites. As Yu Wenhua's liaison with various thieves, Li Mi needs to be here at this time.
Li Mi looked at the bloody smell, the scattered corpses and the moaning and screaming injured along the way. His expression became more and more solemn, and he said: "I'm afraid that the other 100,000 thieves have not yet come on stage, and they will be killed and collapsed...
…”
"A true martial arts master can kill one against a hundred enemies in the woods. If it's one against fifty in an open place, it's impossible. If these people have undergone such training,
Or if you are an elite soldier or a master of martial arts, if you can defeat one against ten in the face of an encirclement, it is probably already amazing. The battlefield is different from personal bravery. Sometimes, if you break your courage, 20,000 people can defeat 800,000, but
More often than not, numbers are just numbers. No matter how powerful they are, there are only more than a hundred people, and the most important thing is that they will always run out of energy."
Yu Wenhuaji felt that what Li Mi said made sense. He thought for a moment and said, "What do you mean..."
"As long as the morale of the army does not collapse, so many of us can exhaust them to death. However, the bandits are loosely disciplined and easily defeated, so General Yuwen's men are still needed to carry the front." Li Mi said with a smile. This fight will be fought with more people.
At this point in Shao's war, although the number of dead on their side has reached as high as 20,000 to 30,000, or even close to 30,000, almost all of the dead are Yu Wenji's people. Anyway, the people he brought have not yet gone on stage.
As long as they are not his, they will die, so Li Mi will naturally not take it to heart.
