Chapter 939
The boulders tumbled down the hillside from the top of the mountain, which was extremely miserable for the Sichuan troops who were climbing up the mountain. The boulders crushed the Sichuan soldiers and roared past, leaving shocking traces of blood on the hillside. Countless Sichuan soldiers Not even a completed body could be found, it was just a pile of meat.
The 80,000 Sichuan Army personally commanded by Yang Zhao launched a fierce attack on the left peak of Hukou Stream. However, after more than an hour of fighting, no one from the Sichuan Army could reach the top of the mountain. Looking around, the entire hillside was covered with Sichuan Army soldiers. corpses, blood flowing like a river, almost dyeing the ridge red
Xiao Xuan, who was watching the battle, also realized that Yang Zhao's attack was unfavorable. He hurriedly mobilized his troops and launched an attack on the right wing of Hukou Stream. In his opinion, since the left peak of Hukou Stream resisted so fiercely, then the main force of Shenchi The people must be here. The mountain on the right is empty. This is a good opportunity for our side to take advantage of it.
But in fact, it was not like that at all. When the Sichuan army launched an attack on the right peak of Hukou Stream, they were still counterattacked extremely fiercely by the Shenchi personnel occupying the peak. The soldiers rushed up and fell down, even more than The casualties on Zuofeng's side were faster and more severe.
This moment made Xiao Xuan lose his mind. There were only a few thousand Shenchi personnel, but his own army of hundreds of thousands were helpless. Why was it so difficult to fight? Could it be that all the people in Shenchi were gods descended from the earth?
Just when he was thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy, there was a sudden chaos on the left wing of the Sichuan army camp. Xiao Xuan didn't know what happened. He frowned and looked towards the left wing for a moment, and said to a guard beside him: "You, left wing. What happened over there?"
"As you command!"
"What?" Xiao Xuan's eyes widened. Enemy? Where did the enemy troops come from? Aren't the enemies all on the mountain of Hukou Stream? Why did they suddenly run to our left flank? He stared at the Sichuan soldier for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "How many enemy soldiers are there?"
"There are... hundreds of people, but also... it seems like there are thousands of people!" Xiao Xuan almost turned his nose when he heard this, and shouted sternly: "Is it a few hundred or a few thousand?"
"You villain, I don't know..."
"Get down!" Xiao Xuan shouted back the soldiers who reported the news, then looked at the generals on the left and right, and asked: "Generals, tell me, where did the enemy who attacked our left flank come from?"
"Your Majesty, since the general of the Zuo Army has sent someone to report to your Majesty, the enemy who attacked us must be very difficult to deal with, so your Majesty should send troops to help as soon as possible!" General Lu You said with his hand.
Xiao Xuan nodded and said to Lu You: "Lv You, you select 20,000 cavalry from the Chinese army and rush to the left wing for reinforcements. Once you encounter an incoming enemy, you must kill them all and leave no one behind!"
"General, I obey!" After receiving the order, Lu You drove his horse away. He led his troops to the left wing quickly enough, but it was still a step too late. In this moment, General Xu Zheng of the left army had been captured. The attackers were killed among the rebels
In fact, the number of people who attacked Shenchi in these sneak attacks was not large. There were only two to three hundred people, all of whom were holding spiritual knives.
They are all disciples from the Shenchi sword lineage, and their status in Shenchi is extremely ordinary. However, their spiritual martial arts are not weak, and their cultivation base is basically at the Lingyuan realm and above. There are only two to three hundred people. But they dared to charge into the camp of hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops, and they actually succeeded in a sneak attack. In one fell swoop, they killed the generals on the left flank of the Sichuan army among the numerous Sichuan troops. It can be said that they took the enemy general's head in the chaos.
When Lu You who arrived learned about the situation on the left wing, he was furious and led 20,000 cavalry to rush over. He came face-to-face with the surprise attack Shenchi personnel, and a fierce battle ensued.
The two to three hundred Shenchi disciples were very powerful, but they could not compete head-on with tens of thousands of cavalry. Moreover, more and more Sichuan troops gathered around them. For fear of being trapped in a tight siege and unable to escape, the leader shouted loudly: " withdraw!"
He gave the order, and the sneak attack Shenchi personnel immediately changed from the rear to the front, and began to break out. When they rushed in, it was easy. They caught the Sichuan army by surprise. Now they want to withdraw, but it is not that simple. The Sichuan army is so densely packed. They were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Even if these Shenchi personnel fought desperately, only a few escaped from the Sichuan army's camp. Most of them died among the rebels.
Lu You led the troops to clear out the Shenchi personnel who had sneaked the attack, but the Sichuan army also paid the price with the death of General Xu Zheng of the Zuo Army. When the news came back to Xiao Xuan, the latter couldn't help but raise his hand and gently beat the pain. forehead
Although Lu You successfully withstood Shenchi's sneak attack, Xiao Xuan was not happy at all. First, General Xu Zheng was lost, and secondly, he didn't know how many ambush troops were waiting for his own soldiers in Shenchi. Unfortunately, there are still a second wave, a third wave and even more Shenchi Death Soldiers who are ready and will strike a fatal blow at any time.
Hukou Stream can no longer be attacked, otherwise our losses will only get bigger and bigger. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan issued an order, and the entire army suspended the attack and withdrew them all.
This offensive and defensive battle between the Sichuan Army and Shenchi personnel at Hukou Stream finally came to an end with the Sichuan Army's active retreat. Afterwards, the Sichuan Army set up camp in an open area five miles away from Hukou Stream.
After this day of fierce fighting, Xiao Xuan realized that Hukou Jian was not as easy to fight as he thought. He ordered all the soldiers in the army that no one could rush into battle without his permission.
The Sichuan Army did not come out, and the Shenchi side would not take the initiative to go down the mountain and engage in a head-on confrontation with the Sichuan Army. The two sides were waiting in formation on the mountain, while the other was stationed at the foot of the mountain and watched eagerly. The battle situation fell into a stalemate.
When Tang Yin and Xia Yao rushed to the Hukou Stream area from Qiankun Mountain, this was the situation.
To enter the hinterland of Shenchi from the south, you must pass through the Hukou Stream. Similarly, if you want to go from the hinterland of Shenchi to the south, you must also pass through the Hukou Stream.
Now, Tang Yin didn't know anything about the fighting going on at Hukou Stream, and he didn't know that both Fengchuan and Fengchuan armies had invaded Shenchi in the two days he left Fengying.
This morning, when Tang Yin and Xia Yao arrived at Hukou Stream, he raised his eyes and looked at Hukou Stream in the distance. He said quietly to himself: "What a dangerous place. If someone occupies the peaks on both sides of this canyon, the enemy will never think about it again." If you pass, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.”
Xia Yao shook her head and smiled helplessly. She felt that Tang Yin seemed to be thinking about the war anytime and anywhere. The two walked quickly towards Hukou Stream. The closer they got to the valley, the tighter Tang Yin's brows became. At the same time, he subconsciously raised his hand and clasped his hand. Hold Xia Yao's arm
She looked at him in confusion and said suspiciously: "Your Highness?"
After getting along with each other for two days, she got to know Tang Yin more or less. Tang Yin was not a gentleman, but he was not a dirty scoundrel who lusted after women. Unless the situation forced him, he would generally not get close to her and have a relationship with her. excessive physical contact
"There seems to be something wrong here! There seems to have been a battle here." No corpses were seen, nor any blood stains, but the smell of blood wafted over, indicating that the battlefield was still far away from here, and it also showed that the scale of the battlefield was very large. Big, many people were killed or injured
But Tang Yin couldn't figure out who would fight in Hukou Stream? Both Fengchuan and Fengchuan armies are stationed at the border of Shenchi and will not come here. Is it an internal fight between the Shenchi people? This is unreasonable. He is puzzled.
As he got closer and closer to Hukou Stream, Tang Yin's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, his blood flow accelerated, and every nerve and cell in his body tightened. This was a natural reaction to detecting murderous intent.
"There is an ambush here," Tang Yin grabbed Xia Yao's wrist, slowed down and whispered at the same time.
"Could it be that Elder Nie set up an ambush here?" Xia Yao asked in shock.
Tang Yin shook his head and said faintly: "It doesn't seem to be directed at us." He could feel the presence of murderous intent, and he relied on his intuition. He felt that the murderous intent was not directed at him, and that was also relying on his intuition.
If there is indeed an ambush in Hukou Stream, then the ambusher must have seen him and Xia Yao now. If he and Xia Yao do not continue to move forward, they will definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party, even if the other party is not targeting him. You might have to come to your door if you come.
Of course, if he and Xia Yao continue to move forward, there is a danger of falling into each other's siege. Tang Yin's mind was spinning rapidly. While thinking, he and Xia Yao had already reached the entrance of Hukou Stream.
Xia Yao had no idea and could only turn to look at Tang Yin. Waiting for his decision, the latter hesitated for a moment and said softly to Xia Yao: "Let's go."
She nodded and whispered, "Not many! Only the Holy King and the Great Elder have seen him."
"That's good." Tang Yin nodded, and his mood calmed down a little.
When the two of them were about to reach the middle of Hukou Stream, they suddenly heard a shout from above their heads: "Stop!" Following the words, several people jumped down from the mountain walls on both sides of Hukou Stream.
These people wear gray robes and gray cloaks on their backs. They stick to the mountain wall and are almost integrated with the mountain wall. Even if you get closer and take a closer look, it is difficult to detect their presence.
"Who is it?" Several men in gray blocked the way of Tang Yin and Xia Yao, their eyes like lightning, scanning their faces ^-^^-^
