Legends in Chu and Han - C348
The road of Sichuan was ten thousand miles long and was filled with dense forests. Tigers, Panthers, and Wolves frequently visited the place and covered the entire primeval forest. The terrain was concealed, making it easy to defend and not to attack.
After Zhongli Mei led ten thousand of the ambushers to the vicinity, they placed them on both sides of the cliff to avoid the search of the Han Army’s scouts. Perhaps it was because the generals of the Han Army had never thought that anyone would dare to ambush an army of three to four hundred thousand soldiers.
It was precisely because of a moment of carelessness that a weakness of the human nature would never think that the Chu Army would take the risk and break her word to infiltrate deep into the Sichuan to conduct an ambush.
Furthermore, the three hundred thousand strong army passed by peacefully, they did not encounter any ambushes, so no one cared about them in the future. Besides, there were vanguard camp leading the way, and even the resistance barbarians and bandits would be either annihilated or imprisoned.
No one would have thought that on top of Wanren Mountain Cliff, there would be an ambush of ten thousand elite soldiers led by one of the Five Tigers General s, Zhongli Mei.
“Go, go all out, shoot at the white horse general in the middle of the army, he is Long Tianyu!” “There are also a few cars, and inside them are his women, kill them all ~” Zhongli Mei bellowed, and released all of his hatred towards Long Tianyu. At this moment, he held the power of life and death for the Han Army in his hands.
Goose Falling Gorge Valley, was originally a dried up riverbed road. After the river changed its course, the sand and sand between the mountains formed a road, making the valley particularly flat. It was not a problem for the ten horses to ride together and three carriages to go together, but at this time, the Rolling Stone cut down trees and shot down their spears.
Although the Han Army’s elites on the ground were brave and did not die even after dozens of battles, they were still severely injured under this kind of ambush.
Thousands of people from Han Army began to lean into the grooves at the bottom of the cliff. There were also many important people who used shields to surround Long Tianyu, Princess Hua-Yang and the others.
Under the attacks of the Rolling Stone and the arrows, all the vehicles were smashed into pieces and the arrows were shot out like hedgehogs. Fortunately, the girls used the excuse of being bored while sitting in the carriage to avoid the arrows, otherwise, no one would be able to avoid being pierced by the arrows.
“Powerful crossbow, prepare to counterattack, target the 4000 zhang high cliff, shoot!” Xiahou Ying did not forget his responsibilities in the face of danger. He himself was responsible for protecting his Master and the others, and if anything went wrong, he would not forgive himself for his negligence.
The powerful archers who were dodging behind the shields shot out arrows at the targets diagonally above through the gaps in the shields. Due to the long distance shooting of this crossbow, its power and accuracy was high, and in a round of reflexes, it had injured some of the hidden Chu Army s, but they had the advantage in the terrain. The Chu Army’s attacks were more berserk, and many rocks came flying down from above, its power was at a hundred thousand kilograms, its damage was even stronger than the crossbow arrows.
“Ahh …” Screams, angry roars, cries for help, and the howls of the war horses resounded throughout the valley. The entire valley was filled with the energy of the battle, shaking all the birds and beasts deep within the jungle as they ran for their lives. The Wild Goose Falling Valley was like a purgatory.
The soldiers below fell into a pool of blood as the stone arrows fell. Some of the stronger soldiers dropped down from the sky and smashed their bodies and brains into a bloody pulp.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the river of blood had formed a river. The river of blood had dyed the riverbed of the gorge red.
Long Tianyu saw that all the elites in charge of the rear were in agony one after another, with corpses lying on the ground, some had their limbs smashed, and some had their bodies shot into a hedgehog. They died a miserable death, and the anger in their bodies burned up.
The sound of the canyon was too loud, the troops in front of them heard the sounds of fighting and screams, and their faces immediately changed.
“Not good, the Han King has been ambushed. Hurry back and support him!” Fan Kuai roared, and like a bolt of thunder, he exploded in the middle of the army. He turned his horse around, and took the lead to charge forward, and shouted loudly: “These bird people, they should be ambushing the Duke of Han, kill ~ ~ ~”
Tens of thousands of soldiers, including cavalry, infantry, heavy armored soldiers, and archers all rushed back at an incredible speed. Tens of thousands of soldiers, including cavalry, infantry, heavy armored soldiers, and archers all ran back quickly, and some soldiers, with their eyes completely red, wished to immediately rush up to save their lord.
The army quickly returned. Especially since the troops in front of Long Tianyu had been cut off by Broken Wood and Rolling Stone, the soldiers in front immediately turned their heads to reflect at the enemy. There were also many elite soldier that climbed up the cliff to kill the enemy.
Fan Kuai led his cavalry to rush up the front, but due to the pain of being blocked by stone and wood, he was unable to trap the people inside instantly, thus he had to order the rocks and wood to be moved. At this time, Zhang Liang was also nearby and came up with a plan: “Quick split up, a group of elites raiding the foothills of the mountain to kill their way up the cliff to force the troops to retreat, the cavalry soldiers used a rope to tie up the rocks and roll the trees, opening up a path to the fastest speed, we also have to shoot out arrows to both sides of the cliff to ease the enemy’s offense.”
Fan Kuai heard that Zhang Liang was wise and smart, he immediately followed orders and decisively sent his troops to split the way, starting to rescue the trapped people.
As the mountain cliff was too high, Zhongli Mei led his men to descend from above. They had already thrown most of the rolling logs and rocks that they had hastily prepared, and the only thing left to do was to shoot violently towards the bottom. Because of the limited angle, the accuracy of the arrows that were shot at that moment was not that high.
Luckily, these warriors had received all kinds of training, and had a certain level of experience in survival through harsh environments. They did not panic in the face of death, had a high discipline, good mental strength, and a strong fighting ability, and maintained their rank amidst the chaos. Otherwise, if it were the new army or ordinary soldiers, they would have been completely annihilated in the blink of an eye after a moment of panic.
“General Zhong Li, the Han Army is about to counterattack.” At the moment, these ten thousand chuantal apoplexy were not easy to deal with. The strong crossbows that blotted out the sky and covered the ground were shooting at them from both ends of the canyon. Coupled with the rain of arrows flying up from the valley, they were also suffering from certain injuries.
But this opportunity was too rare. In the half year that Zhongli Mei and Long Tianyu had fought, they had the overwhelming advantage for the first time. It was a golden opportunity to get rid of the enemy leader. He had already made up his mind to die before he left. He would rather die than ambush at the end. It was already too late to consider whether or not he could escape.
Using hooks, flying claws, and ropes, a group of elite soldiers quickly climbed up the forest road at the foot of the mountain. After that, they picked a shortcut and rushed to the top of the mountain, and many light armored infantry soldiers started their journey from the outer edge of the valley to the top of the mountain. It seemed that they would not even take an hour to reach the top.
“General, if we don’t leave now, it will be too late.” A Academy Officer advised Zhongli Mei anxiously.
We have already heavily injured the elites of the Chu Army, achieving our goal for coming here. If we do not retreat in time, we would be besieged by the Han Army, and our identities would easily be exposed. The Mr. Fan said that we should not leave any evidence behind. A Lieutenant who was leading his troops also came over to persuade Zhongli Mei to order them to leave.
Zhongli Mei frowned, he thought back and forth, then hesitated for a while. Looking at the tragic scene at the bottom of Wanren Mountain, he finally felt a sense of resentment, what invincible Dragon General, they were all lost in his own hands this time. He sneered: “Pass down the order, retreat from the back of the mountain, and return to the horses.” Once the order was given, the Chu Army released the signal to retreat like a receding tide.
As the rain of arrows became thinner, until it was almost scattered, the soldiers in the valley could guess that the ambushing soldiers were retreating. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
“King Han …” “King Han …” Xiahou Ying and the other generals were thinking of Long Tianyu’s safety.
“King Han is here!” On the outside, there were only shield soldiers and on the inside, there were 36 iron guards surrounding Long Tianyu and Chunyu. When Xiahou Ying saw that the Duke Han was fine, he immediately felt as if a huge boulder was lifted from his heart and he landed on the ground.
“Hurry up and go see This King and the other ladies!” Long Tianyu was extremely worried, and shouted loudly.
Due to the sudden ambush, the overwhelming Rolling Stone Flowing Tree came crashing down. A lot of the time that the personal guards of the valley had to have been sent to protect the Duke of Han, and then the few consorts, Long Tianyu had wanted to gather the few of them together. However, the ambush was dangerous and chaotic, and the thirty-six Iron Guards had all surrounded their lord, not daring to expose a single flaw in his defense.
“Darling, something bad happened! Big sister Wu Yu was shot!” Liu Shishi, Zhang Qian and the other girls suddenly cried in panic.
When Long Tianyu heard the cries of the girls, his expression immediately changed. His body trembled and his back felt cold. Quick, all of you get out of the way. Call him the military doctor… “
