Chapter 809

The mountain road was narrow, and Shangguan Yuanrang was blocking the road. It was difficult for the Huan cavalry to pass him smoothly. Often the horse passed by, but the knight on the horse was cut off by his three-pointed two-edged sword. Read the full text.

This is really in line with the saying, "One ride is the barrier, and ten thousand horses are not allowed to open."

With Shangguan Yuanrang in front, the pressure on the Feng army behind the vehicle was greatly reduced. Instead, they had nothing to do and could only stare wide-eyed at Shangguan Yuanrang frantically hacking at the enemy troops in front.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were held back by Shangguan Yuanrang alone. The narrow mountain road was certainly one of the reasons, but his force was indeed to an unimaginable level.

Cao Hou and Li She originally planned to use the attack power of the cavalry to overwhelm the Feng army, but when they saw the unbeatable Shangguan Yuan Rang, both of them were heartbroken. Cao Hou couldn't help but ask the people around him: "Who is the enemy general? Why is he so powerful?"

He had never seen Shangguan Yuanrang, nor had anyone else, but Li She suddenly took a breath of cold air and said in surprise: "This person uses a three-pointed two-edged sword. His cultivation is unfathomable, and his skills are extremely domineering. Could it be Shangguan Yuanrang, the most powerful general in the Feng Kingdom?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone around him suddenly changed, including Cao Hou. The Feng Kingdom has always been good at martial arts, and if you can win the title of the most powerful general in the Feng Kingdom, you can imagine the strength of that person.

Cao Hou was first secretly shocked, and then overjoyed. Although Shangguan Yuanrang's reputation was scary, wasn't this a good opportunity for him to show off? If he could cut off Shangguan Yuanrang's head, let alone become famous in one fell swoop, even the entire Huan Kingdom would be able to stand upright in front of Sichuan and Zhen Kingdoms, and other countries would look at him with admiration.

He rolled his eyes, and then called a messenger, ordering him to quickly return to his infantry team, and ordered the whole army to march at full speed and rush over as quickly as possible. Then, he issued an order to let his cavalry not to leave. Then rush forward in a swarm, but with ten cavalry teams as units, one team after another, using this tactics similar to wheel battles to wear down Shangguan Yuanrang, and at the same time, it also prevents the opponent's spiritual martial arts skills from exerting maximum damage. , at best, it can only kill and injure ten of its own knights.

Cao Hou still has some skills in using troops, and he knows how to adapt to changes. The mountain road is narrow, and it is impossible to form an encirclement against Shangguan Yuanrang. Instead, he uses a small team of cavalry to fight with him, which can not only consume the opponent's spiritual energy, but also maximize the consumption. The opponent's physical strength.

The Huan army changed their tactics and no longer blindly charged forward. Instead, they used teams of ten cavalry as units and launched wheel battles one after another.

This tactic is really beyond Shangguan Yuanrang's expectation. If the opponent rushes up in a swarm, he can kill a large number of enemy troops with one skill. However, if the opponent has ten people, it would be too wasteful to use the skill again. Spiritual energy, and it would take too much physical energy to chop down the enemy soldiers one by one. For a while, Shangguan Yuanrang couldn't think of a good way to deal with it, but there was no extra time to think about it on the battlefield, so he could only Bite the bullet and start a hand-to-hand combat with the oncoming enemies.

The ten Huan cavalrymen were completely vulnerable to Shangguan Yuanrang. When he slashed out, even if the opponent blocked with weapons, how could ordinary weapons block the extremely sharp spiritual soldiers? The three-pointed, two-edged sword easily cut the opponent's body and weapons into two pieces.

However, the opponent's troops were too strong. A small group was killed in the battle, and another small group was immediately added to replace them. It seemed like there was no end to them, and they could be chopped down and killed endlessly.

As the battle continued, more and more Huan cavalrymen died, and Shangguan Yuanrang gradually began to pant, and sweat broke out on his forehead and temples.

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard someone from behind shouting: "General Yuan Rang retreat quickly!"

Shangguan Yuanrang's heart was moved, and he suddenly exerted force and released three spiritual waves in succession, sweeping the enemy cavalry in front of him off their horses. Before the next small group of cavalry from the opponent could rush over, he had already turned his horse's head and ran back to his place. After jumping over the vehicle, he said to the soldiers behind him: "Fire arrows to suppress the enemy!"

The soldiers quickly picked up the arrows that had not been released for a long time, pointed them in the direction of the enemy, and fired a volley of arrows. At this time, a spy from Diwang ran up to Shangguan Yuanrang and said urgently: "General, I just got the news that the Huan Army's large force is less than two miles away from us, and its strength is close to 100,000!"

Shangguan Yuanrang was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and let out a long sigh of joy. He had fulfilled his mission and finally led out the enemy's main force. Without hesitating for a moment, he immediately issued an order to place all the vehicles he brought across the road, unplug all the torches inserted in the vehicles, and the rear team became the front team. The spies from the Sky Eye and the Earthly Network led the way, and the entire army marched towards the planned direction. Withdraw in the direction of Death Valley.

The Feng army's retreat did not involve the withdrawal of the entire army. Shangguan Yuanrang left 500 dead soldiers and personally led these 500 people to resist the Huan army, delaying the enemy as much as possible and creating time for his own retreat.

As soon as the Feng Army withdrew, Cao Hou, Li She and others on the opposite side also saw it. They could not see clearly the Feng Army, but they could probably see clearly that the Feng Army's torch was moving backwards.

Li She, as if someone had stepped on his tail, exclaimed: "General Cao, the enemy's main force has withdrawn!"

Do you think I'm blind and can't see? Cao Hou gave Li She a cold look and asked the general beside him: "Why hasn't the main force of our army arrived yet?"

"General, the main force of our army is less than two miles away from here and will be here soon!"

"Yes!" Cao Hou nodded, waved his hand and said: "Send the order, the whole army attacks, and defeats the army behind the Feng Army. No matter what, we must catch up with the main force of the enemy and hold them back!"

"Yes! General!"

Cao Hou changed his tactics again, from attacking by small teams to attacking by the whole army.

Countless Huan cavalrymen came out one after another, urging their horses to rush forward.

At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang did not fight again. He hid behind the vehicles with 500 Feng soldiers, and fought with the enemy by taking advantage of the vehicles.

With just one round of charge, the Huan cavalrymen passed through the sporadic arrows shot by the Feng army and killed the vehicles.

The rider who ran in front jumped high and wanted to jump over the vehicle, but he was still in the air. Shangguan Yuanrang raised his hand and slashed with a knife. The spiritual wave whistled from bottom to top and hit the horse's belly. With a click, the warhorse and the knight on the horse were cut in half by the spiritual wave. The blood poured down and splashed all over the heads and bodies of the Feng soldiers below.

This was just the beginning. More and more Huan cavalrymen rushed to the front and jumped over the vehicles. No matter how powerful Shangguan Yuanrang was, he could chop down one or two riders, but he could not chop down hundreds or thousands of riders. It didn't take long for the Huan cavalry to break through the vehicles and engage in a close-range confrontation with the Feng army.

The cavalry had a huge advantage over the infantry, so Shangguan Yuanrang didn't dare to fight and immediately ordered the Feng army to retreat behind the second row of vehicles.

However, the battle lasted less than an incense stick of time, and the second row of vehicles was broken through by the enemy cavalry again, so Shangguan Yuanrang and others had to retreat again.

They retreated while fighting, fighting and stopping, and retreated more than a mile away. Gradually, Shangguan Yuanrang found that the enemy was no longer just cavalry, and a large number of infantry began to mix in. He knew that the main force of the Huan army must have arrived.

He didn't dare to delay any longer. The infantry was much more flexible than the cavalry and ignored the obstruction of the vehicles. Once the main force of the Huan army came up, not to mention that the brothers below couldn't escape, it would be difficult for him to rush out.

He made a prompt decision and fled back with the remaining more than 200 Feng soldiers.

Shangguan Yuanrang ran away with his men, leaving behind a lot of vehicles. Cao Hou ordered his men to chase the enemy while receiving the various supplies abandoned by the Feng army.

There were too many vehicles left by the Feng army, more than a thousand in number, and each vehicle was not empty. They were either loaded with food or armor, weapons, tents, etc. The amount of supplies abandoned was incalculable.

Cao Hou nodded as he watched, with a smug smile on his face. It was true that arrogant soldiers would be defeated. In this battle, his side almost seized all the baggage of the Feng army. Even if the main force of the Feng army ran away, they would retreat back to Feng State due to insufficient food and supplies. Moreover, the main force of the enemy army might not be able to escape!

Li She, who was standing by, was even more delighted. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally fell. He had given advice to Xu Qing and left 50,000 soldiers to stop the whole army, but the whole army was annihilated. This time, he proposed to take the initiative to meet the enemy, but the Feng army was vulnerable and his side won a great victory. He made up for his mistake.

The Feng army was defeated at the first blow, and the news that his side had seized countless supplies from the Feng army soon spread to Xu Qing. At first, Xu Qing was a little unconvinced. When he led 50,000 Huan troops to catch up, he saw more than a thousand vehicles abandoned by the Feng army, and finally smiled on his cold face.

This time, the Feng army was finally defeated. If the Feng army had not been defeated, he would have been embarrassed to return to the country to see the king. Xu Qing was excited and excited. He ordered his soldiers to advance at full speed, join the front army, and must catch up with the main force of the Feng army and annihilate the Feng army.

At this time, the 150,000 Huan troops used all their strength to chase the Feng army desperately.

Shangguan Yuanrang stayed at the end with more than 200 Fengjun soldiers, fighting and retreating. He did not dare to run too fast to join the brothers who retreated first. After all, there were only 5,000 people on his side. Once the enemy got close, it was easy to see the flaws. Only by keeping a distance and letting the enemy always see the tail of his team could the enemy be attracted smoothly.

His strategy was correct, but it was hard for the more than 200 Fengjun soldiers with him. They were facing the pursuit of enemy cavalry. Many people were caught up by the enemy while running, stabbed in the vitals, and fell to the ground. Then they didn't even have the chance to get up and continue fighting. The swarming cavalry instantly trampled them into meat paste.

Shangguan Yuanrang reined in his warhorse from time to time, turned back, and fought a fierce battle with the cavalry chasing him. In critical moments, he continuously released his spiritual martial arts skills to kill the cavalry chasing him again and again.

The more he ran, the fewer people Shangguan Yuanrang had around him. By the end of the fight, only a dozen of the more than 200 Feng soldiers were left, and all of them were injured, sweating and panting.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to kill the Huan cavalry again, Shangguan Yuanrang looked around at the people around him and asked, "Who among you doesn't have brothers and sisters?"

The dozen Feng soldiers looked at each other, and no one answered.

Shangguan Yuanrang asked again, "Who else doesn't have a wife and children?"

This time, a 10-year-old Feng soldier raised his hand tremblingly.

Shangguan Yuanrang dismounted, handed him the reins of the warhorse, and said, "You ride first, and the other brothers, stay and resist the enemy with me!"

The young soldier was startled and dared not take the reins. He said anxiously, "General, I... How can I ride your horse..."

"The warhorse is useless to me, just ride it, don't talk too much!" Shangguan Yuanrang forced the reins into his hand, then waved his arm, signaling him to run quickly.
