Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 623

After Wenpin gave the order, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army marched in single file in the Panlong Valley step by step. Everything was so peaceful, except for the occasional howling of wild beasts from the mountains!
Gao Xianzhi, who was opening the way ahead, led his troops forward cautiously, constantly observing the surrounding environment, for fear that an ambush might appear from somewhere.

Two miles away from the Jingzhou Army, more than [-] Liu Bei's troops were ambushed densely in the withered grass and piles of rocks on both sides of the mountain.

These soldiers of Liu Bei's army were all bowed and set up arrows, ready to roll stones and beat trees, and they were ready to shoot.

As early as noon yesterday, Zhuge Liang had sent Zong Ze, Xiao Moke and Lai Hu'er to lead troops here to ambush.

After arriving at Panlong Valley, Zong Ze and other generals followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and led their troops to set up a net, waiting for the Jingzhou army to sneak into the ambush circle.

Not long after, the Jingzhou Army appeared in the field of vision of Zong Ze and the other generals.

"General, the leader is not General Wenpin of Jingzhou." Lai Huer whispered to the chief general Zong Ze.

"Don't worry, none of the Jingzhou soldiers will be able to get out of Panlong Valley tonight! In order not to startle the snake, don't tell the brothers to shoot arrows, let the front of the Jingzhou army go there for now. Anyway, there are General Xiao's ambush waiting in front. Wait. After the Jingzhou soldiers passed halfway through, listen to the general's order and shoot arrows, smash down the rolling trees and stones, cut them off at the middle, and make them difficult to care about!" Zong Ze ordered.

"The last general takes orders!" Lai Hu'er cupped his hands.

When the Chinese army led by Wenpin passed halfway through, Zongze shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrows and smash the rolling logs and rocks!"

For a moment, crossbow arrows flew on both sides of the mountain like a violent storm.

Rolling stones and trees rushed in one after another, like a landslide and a crack in the ground.

Facing the sudden attack, the Chinese army led by Xing Daorong was turned upside down immediately. Countless Jingzhou troops fell to the ground with arrows.

Pieces of the Jingzhou army were smashed with their brains cracked by the rolling logs and stones, and the Panlong Valley was filled with blood and blood, and the corpses quickly piled up into a hill.

"This bunch of thieves!" Wen Pin, who had just passed not long ago, gritted his teeth in hatred.

Wen Pin just wanted to turn his horse's head back to help the Chinese army, but above his head was also surrounded by ambushes, all bows and crossbows were fired.

While organizing the soldiers to form an formation, Wenpin vigorously brandished the sword in his hand to block the arrows.

A group of Jingzhou troops also reacted quickly, waving their weapons and dialing Diao Ling.

Since this section of the mountain road is wider than before, the casualties of Wenpin's soldiers are much smaller than those of Xing Daorong.

"Brothers, follow the general to attack the mountain, occupy the high ground, and support the brothers to break through!"

Facing the sudden appearance of ambushes, Gao Xianzhi blamed himself endlessly, only hated himself for being powerless, but in the end the enemy took advantage of his loopholes and plunged headlong into the encirclement.

As soon as the words fell, Gao Xianzhi got off his horse and led the troops of the headquarters to charge towards the hillside.

"Kill!"

Seeing that the general Gao Xianzhi was desperate, all the soldiers under him climbed up bravely and fought desperately with Liu Beijun on the top of the mountain.

"The whole army shoots back and covers General Gao's attack on the mountain!" Seeing Gao Xianzhi leading his troops to attack the mountain, Wen Pin hastily ordered.

After giving the order, Wenpin took the bow and arrow from the soldiers and shot several arrows in a row. Several Liu Beijun soldiers fell down in response, dying.

After receiving the military order from Wenpin, the Jingzhou army had a clear division of labor. Some soldiers held their shields, while the rest of the soldiers shot back at Liu Bei's army on the mountain under the cover of their shields.

Although the lethality of shooting arrows from the bottom up is mediocre, this move at least suppressed Liu Beijun's crossbowmen, and even made those soldiers who threw rolling stones and trees afraid to show their heads.

Gao Xianzhi led his troops to move quickly, braving the arrow rain to launch a fierce attack on Liu Bei's army on the mountain. After getting the cover of the Jingzhou army, Gao Xianzhi quickly attacked from the valley to the center of the mountain.

At this moment, a stray shot hit Gao Xianzhi's left arm, but without any fear, he snapped off the feather arrow, hastily bandaged it, and then started charging again.

"Boys, rush up the mountain with me, the life and death of the brothers are all in our hands!" Gao Xianzhi shouted loudly.

Encouraged by Gao Xianzhi, a group of Jingzhou troops fought desperately. After paying the price of nearly a thousand lives, Gao Xianzhi finally controlled the valley. The danger is removed.

"General Gao, no matter what, you have to lead your troops to guard this place. I will lead my troops back to rescue the brothers!" Wen Pin ordered.

"General, don't worry, as long as the last general is alive, the enemy will not attack!" Gao Xianzhi agreed.

Xing Daorong's Central Army was screaming, and the battle was extremely tragic.

Anxious and angry, Wenpin ignored the rain of arrows and led his troops back to aid the Chinese army.

But it is not easy to return to aid now. The valley where Xing Daorong is located is narrow, and the road has been blocked by rolling trees and rocks. If he wants to go there, he has to remove these messy obstacles.

Arrows rained down above his head, and rolling logs and stones fell from the sky without stopping for a moment. Xing Daorong vigorously waved Lei Rui's mountain ax to relieve the pressure on the surrounding soldiers as much as possible.

Seeing Xing Daorong rushing from left to right, Lai Huer sneered and stuck the big iron gun on the ground.

The nurse who came here bent his bow and took an arrow, aiming at Xing Daorong's forehead.

With a sound of "嗖", the off-string arrow pierced through the air and rushed straight towards Xing Daorong.

The sharp arrow pierced through the air, as fast as a meteor, and like lightning.

Caught off guard, Xing Daorong was shot in the left shoulder, and a heart-piercing pain quickly spread throughout his body, causing him to fall directly off the horse.

"It hurts me too!" Xing Daorong roared, the sound shook the valley, his beard trembled, hysterical like a crazy beast.

"Be careful, general!" Xing Daorong's soldiers hurriedly shot arrows at him, and helped Xing Daorong onto the horse.

"A dog thief who stabs people in the back!" Xing Daorong shouted angrily, and actually pulled out the arrow on his shoulder.

"I'll take your dog's life sooner or later!" There was another growl, and Xing Daorong stared at Lai Hu'er on the hillside, wishing to engrave his appearance in his heart.

"Take your life with your mouth? I'm waiting for you!" Lai Huer sneered.

"Hmph!" Casting another deep look at Lai Hu'er, Xing Daorong snorted coldly and didn't say much.

At this moment, Mu Ying, who led the rear army, cleared the obstacles on the road and led his troops to meet Xing Daorong.

Seeing Xing Daorong's shoulder covered in blood, Mu Ying hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Xing Daorong forced a smile: "It doesn't matter, let's fight together and get out of this ghost place!"

Mu Ying nodded after hearing this: "It's the same with me."

After a stick of incense, Wen Pin led his troops to arrive, and the three groups of soldiers and horses joined together, and this was considered to have left the narrow valley.

Zongze did not order the pursuit, because Zhuge Liang had told him before sending out troops that he would try his best to reduce the number of Jingzhou soldiers, and count as many as they could kill, but they must not pursue them, because the real reinforcements of the Jingzhou army are coming soon.

After leaving Panlong Valley, Wen Pin found a safe place to rest and ordered an inventory of soldiers and horses.

After counting, Wenpin's soldiers and horses were only in the early [-]s.

After a miserable laugh, Wenpin didn't stop much, and directly led his troops towards Xiangyang.

In the middle of the journey, Wenpin foresaw the reinforcements led by Cai He. After briefly telling Cai He what happened, Cai He did not blame him because he was also played by Zhuge Liang, otherwise he would march at a normal speed , Cai He was able to arrive at Changsha two days ago.

Now that something like this has happened, he can't absolve himself of the blame, so naturally he won't say anything sarcastic about Wenpin.

　The second watch arrives!
