Li Guozhong, on the other hand, basically fought with the mentality of playing with this small group of Fengguo cavalry. Because of the difference in numbers, he had already believed that the other party was the prey in his pocket and the food in his mouth. [ ] Starting from this dispatch of troops,
His mind was on Hua Shenguang. He was always wondering whether Hua Shenguang was hacked to death by a knife or stabbed to death by a spear, but he did not notice the strangeness of this small group of Feng Kingdom cavalry.
Think about it, hundreds of cavalrymen lined up to wait for him with more than 9,000 cavalrymen. Is this not asking for death? If you calm down and think about it, this situation is definitely abnormal.
It's a pity that Li Guozhong was surrounded by his confidants. They had the same idea as Li Guozhong, and they didn't pay attention to this enemy at all. They all expected the other party to kill Hua Shenguang, but they didn't notice this abnormality.
Moreover, Ximen Gang's words about "cowards" made Li Guozhong's entire army so furious that they wanted to kill the enemy immediately, so they didn't pay attention to these flaws.
"Split up and chase!" Li Guozhong ordered, just in line with Ximen Gang's conspiracy.
We are not afraid of chasing each other separately, but we are afraid that Daping's army will gather together.
Some distance into the forest, Daping's cavalry divided into several teams and chased forward in a fan shape. Li Guozhong led the middle team and held Ximen Gang tightly.
Entering the forest, the more horses there were, the slower the speed became. As soon as Ximen saw that some distance had been opened, he led nearly a hundred cavalrymen to jump off the horse, turned the horse's head, and stabbed the horse's buttocks hard with a knife or other sharp weapon.
Suddenly, the hundreds of war horses neighed in pain and ran forward desperately.
The frightened horses are like wild horses running wild, no matter what obstacles are in front of you, they will run forward.
Li Guozhong's cavalry, which consisted of several thousand men, dismounted from their horses and felt the irritability of the same men in front of them, so they began to move around randomly.
"No, they abandoned their horses and drove them towards us. We cannot be hit. Brothers, run to both sides to avoid these crazy horses!" Li Guozhong directed the army and moved towards the woods on both sides.
Despite this, dozens of soldiers were unable to escape and were hit by horses and slightly injured.
"General, they abandoned their war horses and wanted to hide in the woods. It was at the end of the road. If they ran far away, it would be difficult for us to chase them. General, please ask for orders and chase them immediately. Without their horses, they must be extremely fast.
If you wait too long, you will definitely be doomed." A team leader said.
"Okay, pass on the order, kill them all, leave no one behind!"
The army pursued him past the place where Simon had just dismounted, and then moved forward and penetrated deeper.
Suddenly, the horses in Li Guozhong's army neighed in pain. Then, five horse tripping ropes were suddenly pulled in the middle of the nearly 100-meter-long team. Dozens of horses fell forward while running, immediately disrupting the rhythm of the army.
"There is an ambush!" The voice just came out from the cavalry, and nearly a hundred cavalry screamed and fell into the ground. The originally intact ground was activated, and deep pits suddenly appeared one after another.
The deep pit is full of sharpened wooden stakes. Once people and horses fall in, they will be stabbed to the guts and die instantly!
At this time, Li Guozhong's army was completely in disarray. In the woods where there was a big pit a few meters away or more than ten meters away, the horses had turned from being a pursuit to a drag.
"Quickly dismount!" Li Guozhong jumped from his horse and jumped onto a nearby big tree. Other soldiers also dismounted and ran to safety.
Unexpectedly, this just fell into Ximen Gang's plan, which was to wait for these people to dismount. Ximen Gang's other 1,500 cavalrymen had long been ambushing in the nearby woods, and they had prepared many powerful bows and crossbows.
Countless arrows flew from all directions, and the first wave of arrows ended the lives of nearly three hundred soldiers.
Originally being ambushed, the cavalry led by Li Guozhong lost the opportunity and were already a little panicked. Coupled with the arrows coming, they became even more panicked. Everything was in chaos for a while.
Moreover, the arrows were not just in one wave, but one after another, falling from all directions like rain. The original team of a thousand people immediately suffered heavy casualties, with only more than two hundred people left. Under the organization of Li Guozhong and other masters,
He tried his best to run around.
"General Ximen, you are really clever and clever. Li Guozhong really came after you, and ended up falling into the most powerful and largest ambush we carefully arranged."
"Don't be too happy too early. Don't you see that those who are alive now are all masters? It's the credit to get rid of them. Send the signal and fire the crossbow." Ximen just gave the order, and the soldier imitated a bird call, and then
The same cry echoed all around.
"No, this large forest has been penetrated deeply by our army, and the birds have long been frightened. There are still birds chirping. This must be a signal from the enemy." As Zhou Tianmeng was talking, he heard dozens of sounds piercing the air.
.
More than a dozen spear-like crossbow arrows flew out from the depths of the woods. Some of them were blocked by the growing trees and pierced the trunks of the trees, but there were still seven of them, carrying huge crossbows.
The power roared in.
Except for the two that were shot crookedly, there were five other branches, each of which picked up the bodies of two or three Daping soldiers, pierced them, and flew back.
"General, the enemy has already ambushed us, and we have suffered such heavy losses. What should we do?" a soldier asked Li Guozhong.
"The only solution now is for us to rush over and carve out a bloody path. Otherwise, if we separate, we may be more easily killed by them. Brothers, let's break through to the outskirts of the woods."
Li Guozhong led more than two hundred people to return the way they came. No matter what, you can only survive if you fight out. Otherwise, in this forest where the enemy has already laid a trap, people will continue to die, and they will be killed one by one by the enemy.
.
After rushing out for a few hundred meters, Li Guozhong retreated again, because in front, Ximen Gang was leading more than 500 people, and eight ballistae drove them back. At the same time, nearly a hundred Fengguo soldiers appeared on the other side.
Soldiers and four ballistae.
"Haha, Li Guozhong, today is the day you die!" Ximen Gang said in a loud voice, very excited. He did not expect that the trap he designed overnight would be so effective. Now there are only more than two hundred defeated soldiers in front of him, even if he has a few martial arts.
High strength, so what?
"put!"
Ximen Gang waved his hand, and twelve crossbow carts fired twelve powerful crossbows at the same time. This time they were closer and would not miss. The crossbows passed through the gap between the trees and immediately took away the lives of nearly thirty people. Each one
Wherever the crossbow passed, the soldiers in a straight line were sent flying, which shows its great power.
Li Guozhong dodged, his machete collided with an incoming crossbow arrow, and he cut the nearly two-meter-long crossbow arrow in half with a clang, then grabbed the forward half and threw it directly towards Ximen Gang.
Half of the crossbow arrow was imbued with Li Guozhong's skill, and it was no different from being fired from a crossbow. Ximen Gang jumped a few meters away without even asking for his horse, and narrowly escaped. However, the five soldiers behind him were pierced by the arrow and died immediately.
"Everyone, run here, run deep into the woods!" Li Guozhong seized the opportunity when Ximen was frightened off his horse and pointed to the west. Only there were no soldiers from the Feng Kingdom.
Ximen Gang smiled again, because last night, he had dug some traps ahead, and he didn't expect that Li Guozhong was going to step into them. He was really doomed.
