Tens of thousands of troops slowly entered Sanyuanling. Due to terrain restrictions, they could only form the simplest long team to pass through this mountain. Judging by the length of the team, it would be impossible for them to completely pass through this place in less than two hours. The Fang La Army ambushes who followed their actions were more patient and did not rush to launch an offensive immediately after the Song Army entered the ridge.
The two combined armies of Shandong and Huainan showed a completely different look at this time. The Shandong Army at the front of the team appeared calm and silent. Apart from the trampling of footsteps, there was almost no other noise. It also maintained a neat queue, and even more There are archers, shield bearers and other soldiers who are always on guard in case they encounter a surprise attack here. Contrary to them, after the Huainan Army in the rear entered the mountain, the team became more chaotic, with varying distances between people. Many people even dragged the weapons in their hands because they thought it hindered their movements. On the ground, there were people shouting and chatting all the time. It looked like there were more people on an outing than an army.
When the performance of these two distinct groups of people fell into the eyes of the ambush troops above, many people were even more happy, because the more chaotic they were, the better the effect would be when they launched a sneak attack later. Many archers had subconsciously The target was set on a large number of Huainan troops in the rear. As long as they gave the order, thousands of arrows would be fired at them.
But Peng Yongzhen, who was in the team, was full of shame at this time. These comparisons were completely smearing on his face. It really made him feel ashamed, and at the same time he felt cruel in his heart. After this battle, he would definitely be miserable. Strict military discipline and train these bastards.
Sun Tu didn't pay much attention to the performance of the rear, because he was already used to the slackness of the Huainan Army, and he didn't expect them to play a key role in the battle against Changshu. Now he is only thinking about how to break the city with the minimum cost after arriving in Changshu. When the opponent is completely defenseless, maybe a night attack is a good choice. He just wonders whether the Huainan Army can keep up with his pace. , or just let them stay where they are and lead only the main force of the Shandong Army to attack the city.
Just when he had set his sights on Changshu City, Shi Qian, who was clearing the way ahead, suddenly turned around quickly with a strange look on his face: "Qian Ji, something is wrong here."
"What do you say?" Sun Tu immediately concentrated his mind and scanned the mountains and forests on both sides with vigilance. The terrain here was indeed dangerous. If there was an enemy ambushing at a high place, he would have an absolute advantage just by attacking from a high position.
"I didn't notice anything wrong just now when the brothers from the scout camp checked and passed smoothly. They clearly fired a few arrows but didn't even have the slightest reaction. This is so abnormal." Shi Qian squinted his eyes and glanced both sides, with a deep tone in his tone. Deep uneasiness.
Sun Tu was stunned: "Doesn't this mean that there is nothing strange in the mountains and forests?"
"If there is nothing unusual, at least some birds should be frightened by the arrows." Shi Qian said seriously: "Even if they didn't shoot the arrows to the bird's habitat, now we enter the mountain Making such a big noise is enough to alarm the birds and beasts in the mountain. But now, we have been in the mountain for more than half an hour, but the whole mountain has been quiet, which is very unreasonable. "
After hearing this analysis, Sun Tu suddenly took a breath. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, after all, he is not better than his generals in everything. Now, as the commander of the scout battalion, Shi Qian is better than him in terms of sentinels.
The force was too much. After some analysis, he immediately understood: "You are saying that there is an ambush here, so all the nearby birds and beasts were dispersed or scared away by them, so there was no movement at all... It is indeed very possible, pass the order Go down and ask everyone to be more alert, move forward faster, and pass through Sanyuan Ridge as soon as possible!"
Following Sun Tu's order, the Shandong Army, which had been advancing at a constant speed, suddenly accelerated its pace, and instantly distanced itself from the lazy Huainan Army. This surprised the Huainan Army in the rear. Peng Yongzhen immediately sent someone to inquire, and at the same time urged his men to speed up. Just doing this made the team become more and more chaotic. In several places, the soldiers and horses were huddled together and shouting continuously.
The changes below were naturally seen by Fang Shifo, which made his heart suddenly move: "Did they notice something? They suddenly increased their speed!" Without too much hesitation, he had already put the man lying on the ground. He arched his body vigorously, and immediately a low shout came out: "Let go of stones and arrows! Disrupt their formation first, and then kill the enemy!"
After the order was given, there were shouts, and countless archers suddenly came out from their hiding places, raising their long bows that had been equipped with arrows. They didn’t even need to aim too hard, and the fluffy arrows were like raindrops. Heading towards the target at the bottom of the mountain.
At the same time, some of the ambush soldiers closer to the cliff quickly waved their swords and axes, and in a few strokes, they chopped off the vines that had been painstakingly arranged to block the camouflaged boulders. After losing the obstruction of the vines, the rocks weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms began to move slowly. After rolling to the edge of the cliff, they paused slightly, and then with the sound of wind, they blasted towards the cliff with thunderous force. captured the Song army below.
"There's an ambush!"
"We've fallen into a trap! Run!" When there was a loud roar on both sides and arrows came like a rain, the Huainan army was completely in chaos. Some people shouted loudly, and some carried weapons. Waving to parry, more people ran forward and backward like a group of headless flies, trying to avoid the terrible attack.
But obviously, their move was in vain, because as soon as the ambush broke out, the entire Sanyuan Ridge turned into a battlefield, and no matter where they fled, they would be injured by arrows and stones. In just a short cup of tea, there were already corpses lying on the ground on the mountain ridge, and there were countless injured people. Screams and screams filled the entire valley and spread far away, causing the sky and the earth to change color.
Even those soldiers and horses of the Huainan Army who were lucky enough to have not been attacked were panicked and didn't know what to do. It can be said that the winner was decided the moment the battle started. The Huainan Army was completely defeated and could not even put up any resistance.
However, Fang Shifo was not satisfied at all, because what he saw were two completely opposite scenes. Although the Huainan Army collapsed instantly, the Shandong Army in front had a different reaction. Not only did they not show any signs of chaos, but they continued to move forward at a faster speed despite the rocks and arrows rolling down from above. , actually forced them to find their way out, and the casualties were not too great.
Because when the arrows fell like raindrops from above, the shield bearers on both sides quickly protected the entire army. At the same time, the soldiers in the rear were not idle either. They all waved their weapons in an orderly manner and tried their best to fire the arrows. The arrow dials away. Even if someone was unfortunately injured by an arrow, no one would scream and run away, but would be quickly killed by the robe next to them.
Pull them deeper into the team, and someone will rescue and bandage them.
But the rolling stones that followed dealt a big blow to them. Some soldiers who were close to both sides of the mountain road were bleeding profusely after being hit by the stones, and they fell down at that time. But at this time, those shield soldiers stepped forward again, using the solid shields in their hands to protect their robes behind them. Even if they were hit by the powerful stone in the front, causing blood to spurt from their mouths, they did not retreat at all. the meaning of.
In this way, hundreds of shield soldiers were bombarded by countless stones, and more than a hundred fell in the blink of an eye. But as long as the shield is not broken, they will keep pushing forward. Even if someone falls, the next person will immediately step forward to take over. They can actually withstand a large number of people with this fierce and fearless effort. The bombardment of rocks.
And these were not the things that shocked Fang Lajun. What surprised them most was that under such blows, the Shandong Army advanced without any delay. During the tea time when the Huainan Army in the rear was already in chaos, they had already rushed forward for two or three miles and reached the middle of Sanyuan Ridge. As long as they rushed up a little further, they would be able to escape from the enemy. He fought his way out of the ambush circle.
Fang Shifo couldn't believe his eyes, but soon he gritted his teeth again: "Brothers, killing the enemy and taking revenge is only today, follow me and kill him! I don't believe that the Song Army can always maintain stability." ! Drive the already chaotic Song army in the rear and use them to disrupt the enemy's formation in the front, kill!" The roar was not necessarily loud, but the other person had already pounced down like a tiger from the mountain, and the two copper hammers turned into two balls of yellow light in his hands, In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the already collapsed Huainan Army, hammered down, and a large number of soldiers screamed and fell down, and others were frightened and screamed, like cattle and sheep encountering a terrifying predator...
Under the charge led by Fang Shifo, the others rushed down the mountain quickly and roared towards the Huainan army. In fact, in terms of military strength and overall quality, they are really not much better than this regular army. However, the fighting spirit of both sides is completely disproportionate at this time, so the moment they kill off the mountain, the battle completely loses suspense and becomes a battle. A one-sided massacre and expulsion was carried out.
Sometimes people's potential is really strong, it just depends on whether someone forces them. Tens of thousands of Huainan troops rushed to the left and right of Fang La's army, and after deliberately driving them away, they ran forward desperately. Their speed was actually much faster than that of the Shandong army. Soon, the three to five miles originally opened They immediately caught up with them, and behind them, the ferocious Fang Lajun kept a certain distance and kept driving them forward, hoping to use their power to completely disperse the Shandong Army!
At this time, the Shandong Army, which was trying its best to break out of the encirclement, suddenly stopped, because at the narrowest point in front, another ambush force suddenly came and cut off their way.
This is the final move of the pocket formation in Sanyuanling! Even Fang Shifo, who was in pursuit at the end, was stunned when he saw the group of troops suddenly coming out: "Which group of troops is this?"
