Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh block layer by layer
Urna said: "We want to help kill all the scouts as soon as possible so that their whereabouts will not be exposed!"
"Do you think those scouts will be stupid enough to wait for you to kill them? If you don't come up, they might relax a little bit when they see that I have only one person to block them. Okay. Now that they see such a large number of people behind me, why don't they start firing as hard as they can?
Run away. Even if we kill them all, our whereabouts will still be exposed, because the direction of travel is towards the Altai Mountains. If they don't see the scouts reporting back on time, they will catch up with them at full speed immediately."
Li Zhong said, and then saw everyone approaching one after another, and then said: "You don't have armor on your body, and your internal strength is not good. There are not many people who can shoot ten arrows with two stone bows. Now go back and join the Keji people. I will think
I'll wait for a while to meet you, you guys here will only distract me!"
"I can, I will accompany you to stop the enemy!" Urhan said solemnly, his archery skills were not much worse than Qi Zhou's.
"And me!" Urna shouted.
"I can do it too!" Li Ruogu said.
"I have also changed to practicing the two-stone bow." Zhang Mufeng said confidently, holding the long bow of the Yulin Army.
"No! You all leave. If Zhou Jun catches up, find a way to take more Keji children to escape into the mountains." How could Li Zhong let Li Ruogu be in danger? Now they are all on the same horse as Zhou Qi. They really want to escape.
, it’s also quite difficult for the other party to catch up.
Liu Junzhi and three others also rushed over and said to Li Zhong: "Don't argue, everyone. Remember when we came out of the mountain, the terrain was a little more rugged than here? There are some hills and stone piles about ten miles southwest where we can ambush and shoot cold arrows. Let's find a place to ambush separately.
, shoot a few arrows and run away. They may not pay attention to each other when they see one or two people, but there are ambushes in several places, which may be able to slow down the other party!"
"That's a good idea. Let's do it this way. Uncle Li, isn't it just to fight against the Northern Zhou Dynasty that we entered the armament hall? I won't let go of such a good opportunity to train troops now," Li Ruogu said.
"Yes! Whether the Keji people can escape is up to us, Mr. Li, whether you agree or not, I will stay to stop the enemy," Zhang Mufeng said.
"So are we!" Almost everyone rushed to say.
Li Zhongdao: "Okay! But you have to promise me one thing, otherwise I will be ashamed of Tu Yuhun and Da Qi, and I will never have peace in this life!"
Li Ruogu asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Zhongdao: "Don't fight them desperately! You will be able to kill more Zhou soldiers in the future. If you die now, it's not worth it. When we find a place to ambush, we must meet one condition, that is, we can easily retreat quickly, and we must not stay in the stack."
, if you don’t agree to this condition, I will knock you out directly and take you to your father.”
Li Ruogu said: "I agree!" He didn't want all his classmates and friends to be here.
"Then it's settled, hurry up and find the ambush place!" Zhang Mufeng said. He can represent the seven Quanzhen disciples, accounting for almost half of the students in the Armed Forces Hall.
After deciding on a countermeasure, the group galloped away on horseback and quickly caught up with the Keji team in front. Because the guide at Anxi Racecourse was too weak, Li Zhong asked him to join the Keji team. After explaining the plan to Chanda, he continued to lead the fifteen
The disciples of the Meibeikan marched towards the hilly area ahead.
Near the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, there is a wasteland composed of collapsed earth and rocks and sparse grassland. The closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the denser the stone mounds. About twenty miles away from the foot of the mountain, scattered hills have begun to appear.
Everyone found a gentle valley about forty-five feet wide on the marching route, and found six highlands on both sides of the valley, three on the left and right, each about one mile apart from the front and back, and then stationed their horses there.
The high ground faces away from the slope of the valley, making it easier to retreat quickly after shooting.
The two northernmost ambush points were assigned to the Ulna brother and sister, Zhang Mufeng and Li Ruogu, who were the best in horsemanship and archery;
The second row is guarded by Quanzhen Tianrui, Tianzhi, Han Chong and other three people from the Tianshan sect;
There are two places in the third row, Yangshan, Linchuan, and Liu Junzhi guarding one, and three Quanzhen disciples on the other side. And one of Li Zhong is still hiding in the middle of the second and third rows.
Li Zhong asked everyone to use heavy arrows to shoot at the horses, and not to use light arrows to waste physical strength. He did not want to kill more people, but only wanted to slow down the Zhou army's advance.
Because the heavy arrows were limited, based on the physical strength and internal strength of the people, he allocated an average of twenty arrows to each person in the first row, fifteen arrows to each person in the second row, and ten arrows to each person in the third row, and he took it alone.
Fifty arrows were hung, and fifty light arrows were hung.
Not long after the arrangements were made, Changda led the tribesmen and passed quickly along the middle plain. Smoke and dust were already flying about two miles behind them, and horrifying shouts of killing could be heard!
Li Zhong rode up to the high ground and frowned. The Zhou army did not split up, but all came from this road. The about fifty vanguard Qingqi at the front had already launched a charge, and about a mile behind were the
There are more than two hundred light cavalry, and the rest should still be four or five miles away.
To be able to walk so fast, those heavy cavalry are obviously not wearing armor. Of course, there is no need to use heavy cavalry to deal with them. Looking at it, thousands of horses are rushing towards here in a mighty manner.
At this speed, he could catch up with the Keji team within five miles at most, and there was still a full twenty miles away from the Xiemen. Whether he could save the Keji people really only depended on him and the students from the Arms Hall.
Li Zhong went downhill and shouted to Changda who was passing by: "Don't be afraid, just rush forward, we will find a way to stop them!"
In fact, Changda, like those tribesmen, was extremely frightened, but he had seen the abilities of Li Zhong and others, so he still had great hope. Although he wanted to fight the enemy with them, he had a crippled arm and could not help at all.
As he was busy, he could only shout loudly to the tribesmen to move forward quickly, while he walked behind. But when he just ran past the third ambush point, the pursuers had already rushed to the first ambush circle!
About fifty cavalry Yulin troops still maintained their formation even during the rapid march. Five people sprinted forward in a row. Seeing that the Keji people in front were about to enter the shooting range, the team suddenly spread to both sides, and the front row suddenly became two.
There are more than ten people, everyone picks up a long bow, and after one sprint, they can start shooting arrows.
At this moment, sharp arrows suddenly flew out from the stone hills on both sides. Due to the enlarged formation, the few riders on the edge could not be more than ten feet away from the stone hills. Heavy arrows roared from the top of the hill about six or seven feet high.
Then, the shot easily penetrated the leather armor of the light cavalry horses. After being hit by the arrows, three or four horses suddenly fell to the ground and rolled over. There were also people in the second row behind who couldn't get out of the way and fell on their backs.
The Yulin Army is worthy of being the most elite force. Despite this change, the vast majority of them were still able to control their horses and continue to charge forward. Some people quickly fired arrows at the hills on both sides to fight back. However, most of the people who were shooting arrows on the hills were missing.
Hidden behind the pile of rocks, people with strong martial arts skills could easily dodge these flying arrows. However, the archers who stood firmly on the hill shot more accurately in the face of the Zhou army that had slowed down. Almost every shot was accurate.
An arrow can hit a horse, and for a moment, the screams of war horses echo through the valley.
Seeing this, Baihu, who was leading the vanguard, rushed forward and shouted: "The fallen people go up and deal with the people on the high ground, while the others continue to charge along the center line of the valley!"
After saying that, he led about forty horsemen who had not fallen off their horses and quickly rushed out of the shooting range of the first highland. The four people on the highland had no time to care about them, because there were five fallen Yulin guards on each side holding swords.
Stone hills are coming.
The large army that was still two miles away noticed the movement here and accelerated its march. Two more teams were separated to prepare to outflank the enemy from both sides.
Those soldiers who were about to rush to the high ground had only taken a few steps when they were shot by people on the stone hill with heavy arrows that pierced their armor and fell to the ground. The others hurriedly lay down on the slope and did not dare to move.
The vanguard led by Bai Hu also ran not far away, and the second round of heavy arrows followed one after another. Although they were all moving away from the stone hills on the side, the teams lined up in a column were easily targets.
, those flying heavy arrows could still penetrate the horse armor, and four or five more horses fell to the ground.
Because they formed a column, the following people were no longer able to rush forward quickly after avoiding the fallen horses in front. They turned to face the high ground on both sides and exchanged fire with the people on the hills. With the large number of people, they were able to ambush both sides for a while.
When the archer suppressed the arrow, the people on the hill had to pay attention to the incoming arrow, and their accuracy suddenly failed.
At this time, Li Zhong rushed up the hill with his horse. His arrows hit several people one after another. The heavy arrows he fired were powerful and heavy. He did not shoot the horse, but directly aimed at the people. Those who were hit were not dead.
Even though he was injured, the leader of Baihu was the first to be shot to death by him. When it comes to shooting skills, Li Zhong, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is obviously better than He Qizhou.
Facing the sudden appearance of this archer, the Yulin army was in chaos. Half of them turned around and shot at Li Zhong. However, Li Zhong had the advantage of the location, with only his horse's head and half of his body exposed, and those flying arrows were easily blocked by him.
When the arrow fell, the pressure on the others dropped drastically, and they were able to aim and shoot arrows again, and several more horses were hit by arrows.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the vanguard team stopped moving forward and retreated one after another. However, when passing by the first ambush, several more horses were shot. After one charge, only a dozen horses were left running back.
At this time, Li Zhong rode his horse down the stone hill and shot the soldiers who fell off the horse with light arrows. Those soldiers who could still run after falling from their horses only regretted that their parents had two legs, but no matter how they ran, they could not escape.
Li Zhong's feathered arrow with eyes escaped, and he was either hit in the neck or shot through the back of his heart. The two men who raised their swords to attack Li Zhong were killed one by one by Li Zhong on horseback. In the blink of an eye, there was a second ambush in the valley.
None of the more than ten fallen Habayashi guards survived.
Li Zhong put his sword into its sheath and carried a bow in one hand. He and his horse stood alone in the middle of the valley, slowly stomping towards the first ambush. The second group of charging Zhou troops not far away was already less than a mile away.
.
Looking at the cavalry that were outflanking them from the valley and the rear, Urhan said to his sister beside him: "Let's go, let's retreat to the south and find a place to stop them!"
