More than a dozen spears were thrust at Li Ye at the same time. In a flash of cold light, all the fifteen spear shafts in front of him were cut off with one knife. Only the bare spear shafts were left in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers. The soldiers were shocked.
Before they could react, Li Ye stabbed them more than a dozen times with a flash of cold light, extremely fast. Everyone was stabbed in the neck, blood spurted out like a fountain, and they fell on their backs.
The morale of Li Ye's men was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward one after another, fighting fiercely with more than a dozen enemy soldiers.
The Tongluo rebels were not afraid of death. One group died, and another group was killed. Blood flowed in the valley, corpses piled up, heads and limbs were piled all over the ground. Screams and wailings continued, and the two sides fought fiercely for most of the time.
At that time, more than 300 people of the Tongluo rebels were killed. The corpses were piled up in the valley, and they were constantly being cleared out. Then they were killed in groups, and people were swarming like ants, just like endless zombies.
Li Ye's men also suffered heavy casualties, with less than twenty of the fifty soldiers left. Yang Kan killed three people in a row. Suddenly, a spear pierced his lower abdomen. Yang Kan endured the severe pain and stabbed him to death with the spear.
Another spear pierced the opponent's chest. Yang Kuan's eyes were distracted. He looked back at Li Ye and fell to the ground dead.
Yu Chiguang was covered in blood and shouted: "Team leader, brother, I can't hold on any longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold arrow shot out, hitting him in the shoulder. Yuchiguang screamed and fell on his back.
Li Ye was also exhausted from the killing, and he shouted: "Yang Li, help Yuchi to retreat, brothers are retreating, I will cut off the rear!"
Yang Li helped Yu Chiguang to retreat, and other soldiers also retreated. Li Ye killed more than ten people and kicked the stone walls on both sides violently. The stone walls collapsed, and dozens of large stones fell towards the rebels.
The army rolled away, and the rebel soldiers retreated one after another.
Seizing this opportunity, Li Ye turned around and retreated. He rushed into the narrowest line of sky. The soldiers in front of him were still retreating. Li Ye ran a dozen steps and the enemy troops chased in from behind.
Li Ye flicked his hand and shot out a flying knife, "Pfft!" It hit the soldier in the forehead, and the soldier fell on his back. Several pursuers behind him were so frightened that they squatted down, but squatting down was useless. Another cold light shot out at too high a speed.
Quickly, the soldier couldn't dodge. The flying knife hit the front door and fell down. The two soldiers behind turned around and ran away. Li Ye shot two more flying knives, hitting the two of them in the back of the head, and they fell to the ground.
The narrowest point is about a hundred paces long and only allows two people to pass. The terrain is very dangerous. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand people cannot get through it.
But this line of sky is also the last defensive barrier of the Tang army. If it is broken through, tens of thousands of people can only be slaughtered.
According to Li Ye's plan, Wei County Magistrate ordered the people to build two high platforms with sand bags in the Yixiantian Canyon, about one foot high, blocking the canyon passage. Each high platform was about forty steps apart.
The retreating soldiers used ladders to climb up to the high platform. Li Ye climbed to the first high platform, and the two soldiers quickly pulled up the ladder.
This high platform is about fifty steps away from the entrance to Yixiantian. There are five soldiers holding crossbows and lying behind bags of sand.
Li Ye was exhausted and aching all over. He was much more tired than when he was practicing martial arts in the river. He sat back on the stone wall, drank some water, took out a pill from his arms and put it into his mouth.
It melts in the mouth, and as the body fluids flow into the body, the medicinal power begins to dissipate, and the chest and abdomen seem to be on fire.
"Team leader, they are coming!"
Li Ye turned around and saw a dozen soldiers holding shields and spears, walking towards here step by step.
"Shoot them in the legs!"
The shield of the Tongluo soldiers is the round shield of the Tang Army cavalry. It is not big and can only cover the head and upper body. It is also tailor-made for the cavalry. The cavalry does not need to consider covering the legs, but when used on infantry, this kind of shield
The hole is so big that it cannot block the lower body.
Several soldiers fired crossbows together, and the first two soldiers were hit by arrows. They screamed and fell to their knees, with their heads exposed.
Li Ye seized this opportunity and shot two flying knives one after another, hitting the foreheads of the two soldiers. The flying knives penetrated the heads and killed the two soldiers instantly.
Li Ye turned around and shouted, "Bring me more daggers!"
Almost every Tongluo soldier has a dagger. Hundreds of rebels were killed in Anle County and hundreds of daggers were seized. They were originally used for self-defense by the militia soldiers. Now, these daggers will be of great use in the narrow valley.
At this time, the Tongluo rebels shouted, and they rushed forward with shields in hand, trying to gain space with speed. Li Ye quickly recovered his physical strength, and shot the flying knives in his hand like snowflakes. In an instant, more than a dozen rebel soldiers
They fell to the ground one after another and blocked the passage. Tang soldiers took the opportunity to shoot arrows. Three rebels were shot in the head and died.
The other soldiers struggled to flee back, and the flying knives on Li Ye were gone. At this time, six soldiers brought a basket of nearly a hundred daggers.
Li Ye picked up the daggers and fired them one after another. Seven or eight rebel soldiers were stabbed in the back of the neck and fell down.
Suddenly, nearly a hundred rebel soldiers swarmed out from the end, running with shields in hand. Captain Dingte's intention was obvious. He sacrificed the first fifty soldiers to ensure that the next fifty people could rush under the sandbags.
But Dante forgot one thing. The valley road was too narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side. The person in front blocked the road, and the person behind had no way to go.
The enemy changed their strategy, and Li Ye also changed his countermeasures. The flying knife had a short range, giving the enemy too many opportunities.
Li Ye switched to a bow and arrow again, and shot out arrows one after another. More than thirty steps away, more than two dozen soldiers were shot down by the arrows. The arrows shot further and were more powerful. Unless they hit the face with a flying knife,
It's critical, otherwise you can usually just shoot and hurt people.
The arrow is different. It can break a leg bone with one arrow from dozens of steps away, making it more lethal.
In an instant, more than twenty soldiers fell down one after another, blocking the passage. It was not necessarily necessary to kill the enemy soldiers, it was also one thing to incapacitate them to fight.
There was a chaos among the rebels in the narrow passage, and the centurion shouted anxiously: "Go back! Go back!"
The soldiers dragged the wounded soldiers back and retreated. Li Ye shot a dozen more arrows, killing more than a dozen wounded soldiers. All he dragged back was a corpse, and the narrow road became quiet again.
At this time, Yang Li ran forward and asked in a low voice: "Commander, will the opponent attack with fire?"
Li Ye said worriedly: "Not only can they attack with fire, but if they are smarter and modify the bottom of the cart, they can become a large shield, covering it from head to toe. Throwing knives and bows and arrows will be useless. If
No matter how smart they were, if they walked forward holding on to their long tree trunks, I wouldn't be able to fight them."
Yang Li was shocked, "How to deal with it?"
Li Ye sighed and said, "Immediately arrange for people to cut down trees and cut more pine branches!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
Yang Li immediately ran back to prepare.
Li Ye didn't know that the carts outside the valley had been chopped into pieces by Tongluo soldiers and burned into bonfires last night, so it was impossible to modify them into large shields.
Dingte was thinking of a fire attack. They ordered hundreds of Tongluo soldiers to cut down a large number of branches, pile them up in the valley and set them on fire, producing a lot of thick smoke. The soldiers also used leather bags as blowers to blow into the valley, blowing the billowing trees.
Thick smoke blew deep into the valley.
This trick of the Tongluo rebels really worked. The air in the Xiantian Valley was not dissipated smoothly, and black smoke suddenly filled the air. The thick smoke made the soldiers cough violently and breathless. Li Ye covered his mouth and nose, feeling so smoked
Unable to open his eyes, he could only wave his hand and command: "Retreat!"
Dozens of militia soldiers guarding the valley road were forced to abandon their mud bag fortifications and retreat.
