Chapter 121
Scream?
After the two sides fought, the screams always sounded from the opposing team, but suddenly he heard the screams coming from behind him, which made Ruan Wenshan slightly dazed.
What happened in the back?
His heart tightened, and what Ruan Wenshan could think of was that crazy cavalry unit.
Could it be that they went around to the back and defeated the remaining cavalry?
The place he was in was extremely chaotic, and he couldn't see the situation behind him for a while, but the other person breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Finally... caught up!
Chen Ze, who seemed to be calm all the time, actually had a cold sweat on his hands.
What he can see is the position of the friendly army on the map, and use this to infer the time of arrival, but what he is not sure about is how long the soldiers in Qilin City can last.
Do you rely on Cheng Yu's plan to ambush?
When there are no swordsmen, shields, and hook gunmen, the five hundred archers will be completely exposed to the enemy's sword.
So what if the combat power is doubled?
Archers are a typical example of attacking high and defending low. Without protection, who would stand there and be a living target for you?
Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, seeing the enemy advance step by step towards the hill, Chen Ze was already considering whether to use Ma Teng's last hole card.
Fortunately, when Ruan Wenshan opened a passage and was about to take down the hill with all his might, Chen Ming arrived with the 25,000 defenders sent by West Cloud City!
Chen Ming's speed was so fast that he didn't even do the necessary investigation. Together with the defenders, he directly cut in from the main road.
This seemingly reckless move happened to take advantage of Ruan Wenshan's loophole.
The more than 10,000 people in the Zhuyan Empire surrounded the hills in a half-moon formation. Apart from the infantry in the middle, the other 8,000 cavalry were scattered at both ends of the formation. Prevent people on the hill from breaking out.
When Ruan Wenshan attacked the top of the mountain, due to the difficulty of the cavalry going up the mountain, there was inevitably a disconnect between the two, so that the reinforcements from the middle road almost encountered no obstacles, and rushed behind Zhu Yan's ambush soldiers.
Ruan Wenshan's troops, who were so focused on attacking the top, never thought that so many Qingyang troops would appear from behind them. Before they could recover, the rear was in chaos.
The Xiyun garrison assigned 25,000 troops to this route, which was even more than Zhu Yan's army divided into two groups. They also made a surprise attack from behind, so they had the upper hand for a while.
Seeing from the map that the enemy's rear was approaching our reinforcements, Chen Ze attached Wu Anguo's general star to Chen Ming to strengthen his own survivability, and at the same time raised his chin at Li Quan'an.
The one-hour duration was almost up, and the last order Cheng Yu gave to Li Quan'an was to make three of the archers shoot three loud arrows into the sky.
This is a signal that has been set long ago!
On the other side of the hill, Meng Yang, who had been dealing with Zhu Yan's ambush soldiers, suddenly heard three ear-piercing whistles, looked up to the sky, and immediately turned serious.
"Brothers, follow me!"
Meng Yang reined in his horse's head, but he didn't take care of the defensive troops who were faithfully executing Ruan Wenshan's orders. Instead, he led more than 7,000 cavalrymen under him, circled a half circle, and went straight to Ruan Wenshan's side. The hills hit.
"not good!"
The general who was temporarily in the position of leader saw it, and immediately sent someone to stop it. However, his army, which was composed of swordsmen and pikemen, had no problem in defense, but its mobility was too poor.
Before confronting Meng Yang, it was more about knowing the opponent's charge route, which must be approaching the hill. As long as this point is locked and adjusted with a small range of movement, Meng Yang's action route can be blocked.
But when Meng Yang went around, he had no choice but to chase after him, so how could he compare to the high mobility of the cavalry?
In desperation, he had no choice but to order someone to shoot the Zhu Yan Empire's special arrow, which sounded like a phoenix, to warn Ruan Wenshan.
Suddenly lost the target, the general hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth towards the hill, and shouted: "Let's go too!"
Let's talk about Ruan Wenshan.
Ruan Wenshan noticed the sounding arrows that were shot one after another, representing both the enemy and us.
But so what?
The sounding arrows from our own side were warning that the cavalry was coming, Ruan Wenshan was prepared for this, and he was not afraid at all.
But what about the sudden reinforcements?
It was a good situation, but in a blink of an eye, it ended up being attacked by the enemy. After such a short time, through the military information reported by the messengers, Ruan Wenshan knew that there was a large number of Qingyang troops in the rear that were massacring him crazily. of the men.
A pair of copper hammers full of explosive power hung down powerlessly at this moment, and a trace of pain flashed across Ruan Wenshan's face.
It's just... just a little bit away!
If he could attack the five hills first, and after occupying the favorable terrain, he would be able to resist the sudden reinforcements with confidence. Although there was no possibility of completely annihilating the opponent, at least he would still have a chance of survival.
But the current situation is that he can't go up and down, but there is a large army watching him, he is in a dilemma for a while, and he is caught in a dilemma.
"General?"
Many confidant guards around him looked anxious, while taking the attack of Qi Lin's soldiers for Ruan Wenshan, who was absent-minded, and asked eagerly, "What should we do?"
"what to do?"
Ruan Wenshan smiled wryly, what else can I do?
The high-spirited and high-spirited ambush of the two supply troops in Xichuan City seemed to be in sight. Ruan Wenshan, who had made a good start, once thought that he would become the biggest hero of Zhuyan Empire's battle.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed so quickly, he was afraid that if he failed to be a hero, he would become a martyr in a blink of an eye.
Where are the scouts?
Where are those damn scouts?
With so many troops nearby, he hadn't received any news beforehand, otherwise, how could he besiege the supply troops without any scruples?
A surge of anger welled up in his heart, but Ruan Wenshan also knew that now was definitely not the time to pursue responsibility, and there were more important decisions waiting for him.
Is it up or down?
He raised his head, glanced at the Qi Lin soldiers whose morale had been revived because they knew that reinforcements were coming, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
superior?
The opponent could at least delay him for two sticks of incense. With this time buffer, the reinforcements behind would have already cut in, and it would be useless at all.
The only solution is to retreat!
Although he was full of unwillingness, Ruan Wenshan also knew that retreating immediately was the best choice.
There is still a way to survive if you retreat, but if you don't retreat, you will die. If you can escape one or two, at least you can pass the news of your plan's failure back to the empire, avoiding more serious consequences.
Thinking of this, he immediately yelled at the messenger: "Send a signal, let the cavalry on the left and right go around to the back, and then counter-surround. Let's change from the rear to the front, and rush down the mountain in one go, kill one enough to kill the enemy!" two……"
He let out a heavy breath, his face froze, and he said solemnly: "Everyone, let's fight to the last drop of blood for the empire!"
