Chapter 61 Ambush and Robbery 3
Turning around the sky, the two leading soldiers, Xixiang and Xixi, continued to move forward. On this day, Yuxiang also sent a large number of scouts to the front of the team. Because in his heart, he is always afraid that the originals will attack his army. In his mental cognition, the more impossible it is, the more likely it is to happen. In fact, to put it bluntly, he is a cautious person.
However, fortunately, Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang, their scouts did not encounter the orcs, or after the encounter, the original scouts had already found the traces of the orcs, and they had to hide far away. In fact, this is also very simple. If you spy on the enemy's territory, you will also be more careful. If you walk on your own territory, you will always have some distractedness.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xixiang and Xi led an army of orcs to escort the mountains with weights, grain and grass, as well as cattle and sheep. Like that day, he did not arrange the army to pass through the mountains that night. He also ordered the army to set up a camp outside the mountains. Because in the view of the marching on this night, the march on this night is more likely to be ambushed by the enemy than the day march. In fact, there is nothing wrong with his idea. But he didn't know that it was precisely because of his caution that he set aside a night to prepare for Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, he ordered the orc camp to have breakfast. Then, he gathered his army, packed his tents, and led the orc army to advance into the mountains. Of course, he will not set up cavalry and scout cavalry before his army. It's just that the original people in the mountains are fully prepared. These advance riders do not pose any threat to Zhang Zhentian.
At noon, the orc army had all entered the mountains under the command and urging of the two. It is helpless for Yuxiang to be in such a hurry to travel in the mountains. Because the mountains here are very large, he doesn't want to spend the night in the mountains, so his army must speed up the march in the mountains. Most of his subordinates are infantry and carry a lot of weights, so the marching speed of his army is naturally much slower than normal. When you think about this mountain, it took him a whole afternoon to lead the cavalry to lead a horse. Instead, it took him seven or eight hours for him to get out of the mountain.
But at this time, at a narrow pass in the middle of the mountain, the stones on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain seemed to have been hit by something. They collapsed on the mountain road together. The rolling smoke raised several feet high. After the smoke, the unimped mountain road was blocked by the collapsed stones from the mountain. The orc army can no longer pass.
"What happened before?" Hearing the sound, the two of them urged their horses to move forward to the front of the collapsed mountain pass.
"How is this?" Looking at the collapsed stone, cold sweat had flowed down his temples. Anyone with a brain knows that such a large-scale landslide occurred at this time, which is absolutely not accidental.
"Withdraw! Back!" Yuxiang glanced at Yuxi. At this time, he didn't have time to scold Xiqi. Naturally, he knew that he had been ambued by the original people.
"Retreat! Everyone, step back." Seeing that he did not mean to blame himself, he also quickly commanded the soldiers to retreat. At the same time, he led a team of soldiers to stand in front of the mountain pass, "Brother, you take people first!" I'll cut it off."
"You have to be careful!" Zhuoxiang looked back at Zhuoxi. He knew that Zhuoqi wanted to do this in the right way. At this juncture of crisis and survival, Yuxiang has no time to express his feelings. After he said this to Yuxi, he took his own soldiers and hurried to the back of the orc army.
But for orcs, this mountain is easier to come in and go out. When the orc soldiers approached the mountain exit in a panic, Jiang Dongfang, who had been guarding here, ordered the crossbows and catapults on his bull chariots to attack the orc soldiers gushing out.
Poor these orc soldiers who rushed out of the mountain pass were either hit by the stone bullets fired by the catapult or directly pierced through the toad by the javelin fired by the crossbow. All the orc soldiers who rushed out of the mountain pass died in front of the original battle. When the orc soldiers behind saw that the road out of the mountain from the original road had been blocked by the original people, they shouted and stopped moving forward, "Don't run away!" Don't come back! I can't go back!"
But at the same time as the soldiers shouted here, there was a dense sound of war drums and the shouting of the original soldiers. Then a large number of original cavalry appeared on the mountain. Unlike usual, these original cavalry are all equipped with bows and arrows. This shows that the purpose of their arrival is very clear. That's the army that ambushed this orc.
From both sides of the mountain road, the original cavalry shot the arrows in their hands at the orc army. These orc soldiers crowded on the mountain road, and they didn't have enough room to hide. Therefore, the soldiers began to rush to the mountain pass again. The soldiers in front of them knew that it was a dead end to get out of the mountain, and they pushed back the crowded soldiers. Later, the soldiers who came knew that if they stayed in the mountains, it was also a dead end. They tried their best to push the soldiers in front of them outside the mountain pass. At the mountain pass, the orc soldiers made a mess.
"Defense! Resist them!" Riding on a war horse, he waved his tomahawk and called the original cavalry to shoot bows and arrows at him, while commanding the orc army to defend. However, in this chaotic situation, there are not many soldiers who can obey his command. Because, after all, this is not a battlefield-sought orc army, but a temporary army composed of orc herdsmen. It is still very different from the regular orc army in terms of will and discipline.
In front of the mountain pass, the concubine leads people to defend against the original man's attack from the top of the mountain. On the contrary, the battle here is not as fierce as the two sides of the orc army. Because, according to Zhang Zhentian's design, after the mountain pass is blocked, the orcs can't escape from the mountain pass through the mountain. Therefore, on the top of the mountain, Zhang Zhentian only arranged more than 200 soldiers and five bull chariots. The role of the bull chariot here is naturally to bombard the loose stone wall with stone bombs, causing the stones on the stone wall to fall and block the road. On the other side of the mountain pass, Zhang Zhentian reserved 500 cavalry on the mountain road. The task of these cavalry is to kill the orc scouts or cavalry passing through the mountain pass, as well as a small number of infantry. Therefore, the collapsed mountain pass is not the focus of the original people's attack. Their focus is entirely on both sides of the road.
"Retreat! Charge to the mountains on both sides. After defending for a while, he also found that the original man did not intend to attack the orc's army from behind. Therefore, now he also commands the broken orc soldiers to attack the mountains on both sides.
"Soldiers! Kill it!" Zhang Zhentian rode on a war horse, and he saw that the orcs on the mountain road had begun to attack both sides of the mountain. He waved the bone scepter in his hand, and then commanded the original cavalry on both sides to charge the orc army on the mountain road with the bull chariot.
At this time, at the northwest mountain pass, orc soldiers have retreated into the mountains by a bull chariot led by Jiang Dongfang. And Jiang Dongfang and the bull chariots did not give up this opportunity to enter the mountains. Along the mountain road, they fired stone bullets and javelops at the orc army and pressed into the mountain.
In this way, the orc army in the mountains is even more chaotic. They were completely entraint in the mountains by the original army. Although the original army is far less than its own, most of the orcs are infantry. They are not as proficient in using infantry against cavalry as the originals.
"Fight!" He was so anxious that he commanded the orc soldiers to resist the attack of the original cavalry who rushed down the mountain. However, when he raised the tomahawk in his hand and fought against the original cavalry, Yao Xiu appeared beside him on horseback. A cluster of arrow feathers shot out of Yao Xiu's hand, and the arrow immediately fell off the horse.
"The eldest prince died in battle!" I don't know which orc first found out that he fell from the horse, and then he shouted loudly. The orc soldier crowded in the mountains heard his shouts and immediately fell halfway. These people have no intention to fight with the original people again. They ran around with their heads in their arms. Unfortunately, the original man was heavily guarded. They did not leave any room for the orcs to escape. The chaos made most of the orcs cut down by the original soldiers effortlessly.
"I'm here! Don't panic. He had rushed to the middle of the orc queue. Unfortunately, as soon as his words came out, a feather arrow inserted directly into his mouth. At the same time, two skeleton water balls also hit him fiercely, leaving two huge holes in his chest.
"Kill!" Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu looked at each other, and then they commanded the original soldiers to rush towards the orc army.
