Chapter 350

If it is in the vast North, the world is wide. Once there is an ambush ahead, the 5000 cavalry under Xu Huang's command can immediately change their formation, disperse completely, and then make a detour. But this is the south, where the mountains and rivers are all over, where the roads are narrower. On the left side of the official road is the river. The horses can't rush into the fast flowing river. The only thing is the hillside.

Xu Huang made a quick decision and said, "go up the mountain, all of them go up the mountain."

After he gave the order, his soldiers immediately turned around and went up the mountain.

Rao Shi and Xu Huang responded quickly. The front group of cavalry had been bumping together one after another. Under the constant impact, countless horses and soldiers were lost.

Approaching from a hundred feet away, nearly 500 soldiers died under the crossbow.

Just now, there was a trench on the official road, which led to the formation chaos. There was no place for cavalry to escape. There were at least 500 soldiers and horses in a series of collisions. Just in the battlefield, the casualties of his soldiers were close to 1000.

Such a loss is unprecedented.

This is the first time since Xu Huang led the fine riding.

On the official road ahead, the archers were still shooting arrows and hunting Cao soldiers.

Now, Xu Huang turns around and rushes up the hill quickly. Although this hillside is not high, it is full of weeds, and there is no forest. After the horses rush up, they can detour through the ditch in front, and then approach the Bowman in front.

"Javelin, get ready."

All of a sudden, at the top of the hill, shamoko gave a loud order.

One by one, the barbarians came out with a four foot long, sharp javelin in their hands.

"Shoot shoot!"

Shamoko yelled, and in an instant, the javelin burst out like a rain of arrows.

In the grass on the hillside, there are nine hundred barbarians under shamoko. These 900 barbarians are scattered on the hillside. With the help of the slope angle of the hillside, they can grasp the javelin one by one and throw it down. Their strength and speed are faster.

"Brush! Brush

The dense javelin swept across the air, and in an instant, it was already shot into Cao Jun's report.

This round of Javelin fall, only heard the sound of Pooh Pooh.

Countless horses and soldiers were shot by javelin, and the cavalry who had just rushed up the hillside suffered a fatal blow. The cavalry silted up on the hillside was also shot by the crossbow. For a while, the loss was even more serious.

Xu Huang's mouth twitched and his eyes showed a touch of anger.

Hateful!

The other party had already decided that he was going to go to the hillside to break through the encirclement, so he had to wait for him.

The first time he rushed up the hillside and was beaten down, Xu Huang roared: "they can't have too many javelins. Go! Go up and kill the enemy. " Cao's cavalry once again launched a sprint, quickly up.

However, he saw shamoko shouting again: "javelin, prepare."

One by one, the soldiers squatted down, picked up the javelin again, leaned back, roared and threw it out.

"Brush! Brush

A javelin, once again swept into the cavalry.

The horses hissed and the soldiers screamed.

Waves of Cao Bing fell to the ground again. The battle horses are in disorder, and the formation is even more chaotic.

Xu Huang was at a loss. Unexpectedly, he was blocked here. But he didn't admit defeat. He didn't believe that the other side could rely on his expression all the time. Xu Huang told the soldiers to continue to charge, as the distance drew closer.

It's not long. It's less than ten feet away from the top of the mountain. At this time, they saw that the soldiers on the mountain actually moved out big round stones and rolled down directly.

"Boom!"

The stone rolled and attacked fiercely, hitting the hooves of countless horses.

In an instant, all the horses just approaching the hillside suffered.

The horses fell and the soldiers were crushed.

Shamoko's face was cold. The location was selected by the Lord and commander Pang himself, and he had already made preparations for it. He had already deduced it countless times. So he stood in the way and easily resisted each other.

"Withdraw, withdraw immediately."

Xu Huang was helpless. He was unable to conquer the hillside in front of him and break through the gully in front of him, so he had to retreat temporarily.

When shamoko saw it, he burst into laughter.

However, shamoko did not pursue and remained in the same place. There was a smile on his face. If the other side attacked again, he would send troops to fight head-on, because the defense equipment on the mountain was almost used up.

Xu Huang retreated five li and returned to the place where he had been stationed at the beginning.

He immediately counted the soldiers and counted them. Only 3200 soldiers came back, including hundreds of soldiers who lost their horses.

It can be said that the loss of this war is huge.

"Damn it

Xu Huang's eyes showed a serious look.

"Step on it! Step on itSuddenly, behind the official road, came the sound of footsteps.

Xu Huang looked back, but Xu Chu led an army to kill him. Xu Chu saw one by one seriously injured cavalry, his face showed surprised expression.

Xu Huang's defeat is a rare event.

Xu Chu brought the soldiers to Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, what's the matter? How could your elite cavalry be badly damaged? The prime minister estimated that you had already begun to fight with the soldiers sent by Liu Xiu, so he filmed me to add a fire to completely crush Liu Xiu's soldiers. I didn't expect you to lose. "

Xu Huang sighed and said, "Zhong Kang, the Jingzhou soldiers in front of us are not simple."

Immediately, Xu Huang gave a brief account of the situation just now.

After hearing this, Xu Chu was also surprised and said in a loud voice, "Liu Xiu is really cunning. His action is clearly aimed at the cavalry. If your horses can't rush up, they can't get close to each other. "

Xu Chu said: "I lead a thousand elite to go ahead, and your cavalry will follow. Compared with cavalry, although infantry is less effective, it is more flexible. As long as my vanguard approaches, your cavalry can rush through

"Well!"

Xu Huang nodded, and then mobilized the army to move forward again.

The journey of Wuli road didn't take much time. Soon, the group had fallen into the ditch in front of them. By the time they arrived, however, shamoko had already led the troops to withdraw, leaving only one body on the ground, and even the crossbows and arrows on the ground had been taken away.

"Gone?"

Xu Huang's eyes showed an expression of surprise.

Xu Chu also had a strange look on his face. He looked at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, I'm not smart enough to understand the situation. Tell me, what's the situation now. "

Xu Huang frowned. Now he didn't know what tricks Liu Xiu was playing. But Xu Huang can't stop moving forward just because everyone is here. He looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, no matter what, now we have to go to Xinye county. No matter what tricks Liu Xiu has, he has to continue to fight. Let's go. Keep going. "

Xu Chu nodded, then with a thousand talents, he went to Xinye county.

To the direction of Xinye County, after walking through this wide official road, the road is more and more narrow, and there are woods everywhere. A thousand foot soldiers and more than three thousand cavalry are winding like a long snake across the official road.

Qili road from the county seat is a river.

The river is fast, and a wooden bridge is erected over the river.

The river is about two feet wide and the bridge is about three feet away.

Xu Huang and Xu Chu had to cross the bridge to go to Xinye county. As Xu Huang approached the bridge, he stopped Xu Chu and said, "Zhong Kang, Liu Xiu is working step by step. We have to think about it. If something goes wrong on the bridge, I'm afraid we will fall into the river immediately. Our soldiers don't know water sex. Once they fall down, it's bad. "

There was also a touch of worry in Xu Chu's eyebrows.

This battle is a poor one.

Xu Chu's eyesight was excellent. He set his eyes on the mountains on the other side of the river. Vaguely, I saw the leaves shaking in the forest, as if there were ambush in it.

Xu Chu said in a low voice, "Gongming, do you see the ambush in the forest opposite?"

At this time, Xu Chu was also worried.

Once the ambush is hidden in the opposite mountain forest, once their own people cross the bridge, they will be attacked immediately. Especially when the bridge is narrow, it will cause congestion and even damage to the bridge.
