Five hundred and forty-eighth chapter heaven and earth net
"What's going on? Don't panic!" He Louziqian screamed inwardly, but at least his face remained calm.
There hasn't been any movement around here, so the messenger covered in blood most likely came from Zhou Chen, which means that not only did a battle break out on the top of the mountain, but the situation was quite unfavorable. At this time, He Lou Ziqian had no intention of going there.
After considering what this meant, seeing the panic on the face of the messenger, he went straight forward and grabbed his collar:
"Tell me, what happened!"
"General, there are enemies on the top of the mountain, many enemies!" The messenger was obviously on the battlefield for the first time. The facial features on his face were distorted by fear, and there was a cry in his voice. "Our entire army has been wiped out!"
He Louziqian's hand trembled and slowly let go.
The top of the mountain that Zhou Chen snatched was the commanding heights in this area, and the presence of enemies on the top of the mountain showed that Li Xingchen had long expected that He Lou Ziqian would appear in this valley, and had also expected that He Lou Ziqian would send troops to seize the commanding heights.
He Lou Ziqian still knows the character of Zhou Chen. He is a cautious and steady person. Being able to catch Zhou Chen off guard, even to the point of annihilating the entire army, shows that the enemy is well prepared and is waiting for Zhou Chen to come to his door.
.
"Bang!" A loud noise suddenly came from the front, and several soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were running fast fell into a huge pit almost at the same time. They were chasing after them, but they never expected that there would be a pit at this time.
Moreover, the pit continued to spread to both sides. In an instant, the entire earth seemed to collapse, and hundreds of people fell directly into the pit. After all, during the chase, these Northern Zhou soldiers had already dispersed their formation, and in panic
No one had time to stop.
"What's going on?!" He Lou Zigan only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and drums were heard on the hillside not far away, and several huge stones slid down the hillside, making a "bang, rumble, rumble" sound.
The soldiers who struggled to crawl out of the pit widened their eyes in horror, watching as the stone suddenly jumped in front of them.
"Block!" A Northern Zhou general's voice had become shrill, and he shouted in panic.
The next moment, the stone hit him hard, directly ran over the general, and continued to hit the next person. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty hurriedly dodged to both sides, and finally all these stones fell into the pit.
, all the people in the pit who had not had time to climb out naturally suffered. For a while, screams and the sound of broken bones could be heard.
He Lou Ziqian held his breath and looked around.
The dense woods still stretched into the distance, and he couldn't see or discover anything except that the drum sound came from the hillside not far away.
There was only a strong sense of powerlessness in my heart.
And the whistling wind suddenly sounded.
"General, be careful!" One of the guards sensed something was wrong and threw He Lou Zigan directly to the ground. Huge bamboo rafts fell from the sky. These bamboo rafts were made of bamboos that were woven together. The ends of the bamboos were all sharpened. Before
Hidden in the tall canopy of trees, it is impossible to find it.
Now the bamboo raft fell heavily among the dense crowd, and immediately seven or eight soldiers were thrust into the ground, bleeding profusely.
He Louzigan struggled to push away the guard who was pressing on him. The guy's movements were a step slower, and the bamboo raft was inserted into his chest. His eyes widened, and he saw that he would not survive. And this kind of bamboo raft was not the only one.
, screams kept coming and going, indicating that the enemy had prepared many such or similar mechanisms.
He Lou Ziqian didn't know what other methods the other party had, but he suddenly felt that he could no longer take these thousands of soldiers back safely. In this dense forest, it seemed that every inch of land and every big tree They were all full of hostility towards them.
"Whoosh -" a whistle suddenly sounded.
Arrows flew out from the canopy of trees overhead, and many soldiers screamed when they were hit by arrows. After a while, the whistle turned into a uniform roar.
"kill!"
I don’t know how many people were shouting, but I could see silhouettes sliding down from the trees and emerging from the dense bushes. There were even some who were holding on to the canes and swinging from one big tree to another. , then aim at the place where the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are most densely populated, and jump directly!
The light of the sword flashed, and enemies appeared in all directions and every corner. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were already dizzy in the dense woods, not to mention there were so many enemies that they might encounter if they turned around.
"Kill!" More killing sounds sounded from all directions. On the hillside not far away, you could see figures standing up one by one. However, they seemed to be in no hurry to attack. More than half of them still stayed on the hillside. , but there were already hundreds of people rushing down the hillside.
Not to mention that the mountain behind was also filled with killing sounds, and a red flag symbolizing Nanchen was dancing in the wind.
"Quick, unite the team and retreat!" He Lou Ziqian had fully realized at this time that this was a complete trap, and now he was deeply trapped in it.
Those Ba people who descended from the sky shouted uniform slogans and rushed through the mountains and forests following the fluttering red flags, which had already made He Lou Ziqian's previous assertion about the relationship between "Li Xingchen and the Ba people" self-defeating.
No matter what the reason is, the people of Ba are following Li Xinchen wholeheartedly and following Li Xinchen's banner.
Now under the command of Li Xinchen, the characteristics of these Ba people who are good at mountain warfare have been brought into full play. The surrounding woods, hillsides, and rocks have all become weapons in Li Xinchen's hands. He uses these traps and these terrains to build a dragnet. , completely covering He Louzi in it!
And because the commanding heights were not taken down, He Lou Ziqian didn't even know how many enemies there were around, nor where his generals had gone.
Now that the central army and the forward have been dispersed like this, not to mention the left and right wings that were dispersed before, hearing the sounds of fighting and screams in the woods not far away, He Lou Ziqian actually knew , the left and right wings, which have fewer troops and are more dispersed, may be in danger.
But at this time, Helou Ziqian no longer had the energy to take care of the left and right wings. He could not even guarantee his own central army.
A red flag facing south was dancing back and forth in the woods, and these Pakistani soldiers had obviously received orders before and kept running after the flag. Sometimes changing positions even became their main task. He Lou Zigan watched helplessly. Seeing several Pakistani soldiers not killing the panicked Northern Zhou people in front of them, but instead changing positions anxiously amidst the sound of whistles.
Soon He Lou Ziqian saw clearly that these Ba soldiers were constantly intersecting and cutting. They wanted to completely break up the originally dense Northern Zhou queue and force the Northern Zhou army to move according to their plans!
