Han Shizu

Chapter 632 The Battle of Yellow Flower Valley

Huanghua Valley has a narrow mouth and a wide belly, with high mountains on one side and cliffs on the other. There is no deep ditch and hard barrier at the mouth of the valley, but a row of wooden fences and two horns, but it has become a natural moat that the incoming Shu army cannot cross.

In front of the entrance of the Huanghua Valley, there were miserable howls. The Han army's crossbowmen lurking on the flanks and in the valley were condescending, and they continued to attack the incoming Shu army. With the most concentrated attention and the fastest speed, , firing arrows, Shi Shouxin ordered to use up all the arrows in the quiver.

The [-] assault soldiers led by Han Jixun himself were hit hard at the first time, and they were stunned by several waves of shots from the Han army before they reached the gate of the village.

Fortunately, these five hundred soldiers were the elite of the Shu army, who took a quiet position amidst the chaos, and quickly hid and avoided them.

"My lord, the Han army has been prepared for a long time and set up an ambush on the side of the mountain!" Several powerful soldiers of the Shu army set up shields and stood in front of Han Jixun for protection. Said.

Han Jixun's face was a little pale, he was in shock, the sky was already a little dark, the whizzing sound was mixed with the screams of the soldiers, and the sharp arrow hit the shield with great force, every sound shook Han Jixun's heart.

Sweating profusely on his forehead, he looked around and saw that the sky was already a little dark. The most eye-catching thing was the lights lit up in the Yellow Flower Valley. They were gorgeous and bright, not guiding him, but bringing him frustration and disappointment. .

"How many people are there in the Han army? How about the rear?" Han Jixun tried his best to calm himself down, observing and asking about the situation.

"There are enemy troops in the valley and on the side of the ridge. The flags are flashing, the drums are beeping and people are shouting, and the strength of the army is unclear. The Han army is shooting our army with dense bows and crossbows!" : "My lord, please think of a way quickly, how to deal with the enemy?"

The incoming Shu army had been exhausted after trekking for a day. The brigade in the middle maintained an offensive and alert formation when they marched, and was quickly scattered by the strong bows and crossbows of the Han army.Shi Shouxin sent another two battalions of soldiers to ambush on the side of the mountain. At this time, they were only responsible for waving the flag and shouting, and they also showed enough deterrent power.

On Han Jixun's side, sweat was dripping from his brow, looking at the increasingly dark and difficult forest, among which there were figures and arrows raining down, like sharp weapons shot out from the abyss.

His brain was spinning wildly. Although he was amazed at the Han army's early response and setting up an ambush, he couldn't care less about exploring at this time. In an emergency, Han Jixun also knew that he had to make a decision.

Of course, he didn't think about it for long. Seeing the Shu soldiers who were still slaughtered by the Han army like headless chickens crowded in the mountain road, Han Jixun said directly: "Hurry up and order the generals of the battalions to restrain the soldiers and withdraw the troops!"

Although Han Jixun knew that according to the current situation, a retreat order would probably lead to a rout, but he had no choice.The Han army has long been prepared. Without understanding the enemy's situation, if it drags on, it will only fall into a greater crisis. It is the best choice to get rid of it in time to break through and stop losses.

In fact, although the bows and crossbows are powerful, due to the strength of the troops, except when they were unprepared at the beginning, the direct damage to the Shu army was not so much, and only the forward and middle Shu army suffered heavy losses.

However, in the case of an ambush, the confusion of the army and the collapse of morale are the biggest blows.After Han Jixun's retreat order was issued, the rear army quickly disguised itself and retreated along the original road.

And Shi Shouxin's deployment of troops did not intend to wipe out the Shu army. He only planned to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.After the ambush was launched, he remained at the top of the valley, watching the battle from a high position.

Ling Ran was at a high place, the autumn wind was blowing Zheng's robe, hunting sounded, Shi Shouxin stood with a knife in his hand, his eyes were awe-inspiring, quietly observing the battlefield situation, what was revealed in his eyes was a kind of disregard for life.On the side, more than half of the setting sun is still red, which becomes its background.

"General, the Shu army has retreated!" Bu Qu beside him suddenly pointed to his feet excitedly and said.

"This Shu general took advantage of the situation to attack the stronghold and retreated when he saw the opportunity, but he was decisive! If he fails to detect his movements in advance, it will really bring a lot of trouble to our army!" Shi Shouxin commented.

Immediately, he raised his hand and ordered decisively: "Light the fire, send the signal! Let the ambush go out and drive the Shu army!"

"Yes!"

Following the high response of the trilogy, a few firework burst out from the Yellow Flower Valley, which was very obvious under the gloomy sky.Seeing the Han army ambushing in the middle of the valley, they rushed out under the leadership of the generals, and the killing sound seemed to be more concentrated.

Han Jixun hurried ahead, but seeing the gloomy light of dense swords reflected in the mountains and forests, and the chasing Han army rushing out of the valley behind him, he wished he could tear apart the scouts investigating the military situation.
As the Han army rushed out, the defeat of the Shu army finally became a fact. The soldiers quickened their pace, their bodies seemed not to be tired, the mountain road seemed to be easier to walk, and the casualties began to increase. Undue.

The Han army in the valley quickly caught up, and the ambush soldiers on the side of the ridge needed to be careful and worked hard. They attacked back and forth, intercepted about a thousand Shu troops, strangled hundreds, and surrendered the rest.

Han Jixun fled faster, quickly followed up, and withdrew to the Chinese army to "organize" him, otherwise he would inevitably not be left behind, died in battle or captured.Of course, although the thousands of Shu troops left behind were defeated and dropped quickly, they still played a role in slowing down the pursuit of the Han army.

However, there was still not much time and space for the army to be organized. Although he had worked hard, the army was defeated and the defeat was unstoppable. Han Jixun could only gather hundreds of soldiers to escort him to retreat.

Perhaps this Han Jixun had an outstanding talent in retreat, from the end to the front, seeing roads and aisles along the way, every forest and forest.Among the Shu army, countless people died due to trampling, falling off cliffs, and grabbing roads, and there were even many lost soldiers.Of course, there are still many exhausted people who choose to disarm and surrender wisely and simply.

It was already night, and among the mountains and forests, the tired Shu army finally stopped.

"Are the Han troops still chasing them?" Han Jixun asked his subordinates in a panic, his helmet dropped.

"Return to the envoy, the Han army's pursuit has slowed down!"

"Let the soldiers rest on the spot!" Looking around, Han Jixun ordered weakly: "Take a count, how many people do we have?"

"Yes!"

Soon, in the midst of mourning, the exhausted and hungry Shu army was defeated, collapsed and rested wantonly.There was a little fire in the forest, but the autumn night was cool and the wind was blowing. Some soldiers couldn't help but light a fire to keep warm.

This situation immediately caused the officers of the Shu army to shout and scold: "You idiots, are you afraid that the Han army will not know the way, so you can show the Han army the way?"

As he spoke, there was a burst of punching and kicking, and by the way, he hurriedly put out the bonfire.The fire was extinguished, and under the dim night, a lot of light smoke could be seen faintly rising, and after a while, there were some sad sobs from around.

"My lord! The last general has been counted. Adding up all the battalions, there are still more than a thousand soldiers left. The organization is scattered and the soldiers don't know the general. The rest of the soldiers may die, or lose, or surrender!" The military academy reported to Han Jixun in a low voice. .

Hearing this, Han Jixun couldn't help but twitched his face several times. This battle was too aggrieved, and he was defeated without even touching the Han army.The Han army was also cunning, they just chased and killed them, surrendered, and let the Shu army collapse on their own.

"You shouldn't retreat recklessly, you should concentrate your strength and fight with the Han army, maybe you can survive death and turn defeat into victory." Han Jixun couldn't help sighing.

"My lord, I have fled for more than ten miles on this journey. I have discarded all my belongings, and there is not much ration left with me. It is difficult for the soldiers to support me. The Han army is still chasing after them. What should I do?" despair.

Han Jixun didn't know what to do, so he could only try his best to comfort him: "The night has fallen, and the mountain road is difficult. The Han army has won such a big victory, and they will not pursue them recklessly. The night is our best cover, otherwise, how can we wait for you?" Respite. Tell the soldiers, if you persist, we will be safe when we return to Tangcang!"

The Han army seemed to have stopped chasing, and they rested for half an hour, but there was no movement. Although Han Jixun and others were a little worried, they didn't dare to brave the night to walk the mountain road again, it was too dangerous.

Trembling and trembling, until the dawn of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and after a defeat, he dragged his hungry body and continued to embark on the road back to Tangcang.

The soldiers were all depressed, but Han Jixun's psychological activities were more abundant. Huangniuzhai was defeated happily, and Huanghuagu was defeated again. He lost nearly [-] troops in Houshu in the two battles.In addition to the endless frustration, there is anxiety and humiliation. This crime is inevitable. I intend to commit suicide to atone for my sin, but I can't do it.
Relying on the will to survive, Han Jixun finally returned to Tangcang Town with the remnant soldiers, and there were less than [-] soldiers following him.However, what I saw were the traces of the fierce battle, and the dazzling Han army flag was fluttering on the military camp.

"Tangcang has also fallen!" Han Jixun's astonished voice almost came out of his throat, his face full of horror: "How fast is the reaction of the Han army? How can they know so clearly about our army's movements?"

Soon, a Han army protruded from Tangcang Town, aiming at Han Jixun's remnants.

"My lord, what should I do?" Left and right panicked.
