The dark valley has no moonlight.
Wang Ping hid behind a big tree, sometimes staring at the valley below, sometimes staring at the valley mouth in the distance, and sometimes looking next to him.
In the silent night, it seemed that even the sound of summer insects could not be heard. The 10,000-strong army was well hidden and no clues could be seen.
"But Wang Ping was feeling anxious. According to time, King Duosi should have been here a long time ago, but why there was no news yet.
Even if he took another road and the two places were not too far apart, as long as there was a fight on Li Yan's side, he would definitely be able to hear the sound. Many scouts were also arranged among them to facilitate communication with each other.
But it¡¯s also very quiet over there.
During this period, Wang Ping has detected many situations. King Duosi has been resting during the day and marching at night, so now is the time for them to march.
"General, they are coming!" At this time Zhou Cang came over and whispered in Wang Ping's ear.
"Where is it?" Wang Ping looked at the mouth of the valley and found no clues.
"General, there are night birds flying into the sky one after another. The general has been a bandit before and has ambushed us at night. This situation shows that someone is coming, and there are quite a few of them." Zhou Cang explained.
Wang Ping listened carefully, and sure enough, there were occasional calls of birds in the night sky, and the branches in the distance were shaking.
"Zhou Cang, order the soldiers to put their arrows on the strings and get ready!" Wang Ping ordered immediately.
"No!" The order was quickly passed down.
Although they did not have repeating crossbows, they did have two thousand crossbowmen, distributed on both sides of the valley, with Liao Hua commanding the other side.
It was not long before the dark crowd poured into the valley. Although he could not see clearly, Wang Ping relied on his past experience and could conclude that there were indeed five thousand soldiers and horses below.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the five thousand soldiers and horses gradually entered their ambush circle.
"Fire the arrow!" Suddenly Wang Ping shouted.
Countless torches were lit, and the valley suddenly became bright as day, and dense arrows poured down like a torrential rain.
"ah¡¡"
The barbarian soldiers in the valley let out screams, and a round of arrows fell, hundreds of them fell.
The others were like headless flies scurrying around, but no matter where they went, they were greeted by arrows, spears, and rolling rocks.
Those barbarian soldiers had no chance to fight back. They didn¡¯t even know where the people who shot them were hiding.
Wang Ping knew how powerful King Duosi's poisonous arrows were, so he did not dare to be careless. There were layers of shields next to the archers, because once the opponent's poisonous arrows were shot up, as long as they touched the body, they would be dead. , and there is also the terrible poisonous gas in the arrow shaft.
Therefore, Wang Ping ordered the shield bearers to throw the shields down the valley together with them if the opponent's poisonous arrows hit their shields.
While the shield bearer waited nervously, no arrows were fired.
About half an hour later, the battle was over, and no living barbarian soldiers could be seen in the valley.
Wang Ping, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua led their soldiers and carried torches to the valley.
"Look for the body of King Duosi!"
"No!"
The soldiers searched for a while, but did not see King Duosi.
"Report to the general, we have rummaged through almost all the corpses, they are all barbarian soldiers, none wearing leader's clothes!" a captain reported.
"There is no King Duosi?" Wang Ping was surprised. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.
"General, we fought this battle very smoothly!" Liao Hua said suddenly.
"It's so smooth"
"Yes, King Duosi is known as the wisest man in the south, and the five thousand barbarians under his command are the elite of the barbarians, and they all have poisonous arrows that are hard to guard against. Although we have prepared an ambush in advance, they don't seem to have any The resistance and combat power are too weak." Liao Hua explained.
"That's right!" Wang Ping frowned. He felt something was wrong just now. Now he figured it out. Even this barbarian team showed no resistance and no poisonous arrow came up. "Quickly, check them. weapons!"
"General, they only carry swords and guns, no poisonous arrows, not even crossbowmen!" Zhou Cang inspected several corpses in succession and said in surprise.
¡°General, we didn¡¯t find any poisonous arrows either!¡± Several captains said almost simultaneously.
"No, I fell into the trap. This is not King Duosi!" Wang Ping suddenly realized.
"General, be careful!" Zhou Cang suddenly exclaimed, and at the same time, with a flash of the sword in his hand, an arrow flying towards Wang Ping was cut into two pieces by him.
"Ah" Several soldiers screamed one after another, and they were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Shield bearer, hurry up, prepare to meet the enemy!" Wang Ping roared, and he understood that now is the time when King Duosi is really coming.
"General, retreat quickly, the gas is poisonous" Zhou Cang suddenly said in a hoarse voice.
Wang Ping took a look and was surprised to find that Zhou Cang's two nostrils were bleeding outward, his face was darkened, and his eyes seemed to be even wider.
At this time, the shield bearers had already formed a formation. Although they blocked many arrows, soldiers fell down one after another with the same symptoms as Zhou Cang.
"General, you quickly retreat quickly, I will break up the rear" Zhou Cang said intermittently.
"No, Yuan Fu, you retreat first, I want to stop the barbarians." Wang Pingjiang waved the big sword in his hand, "Archers with crossbows, release your arrows quickly!"
"General, we are in the open, they are in the dark!" Liao Hua looked around and said.
"Throw the torch here and retreat!" Wang Ping concentrated on thinking, because now the opponent was hiding in the dark, they couldn't even see the figure, but the opponent kept shooting them, and there was poison gas. Throw the torch here, and after retreating a certain distance, the barbarians must show up if they want to catch up.
The soldiers carried Zhou Cang and retreated at the front. Wang Ping was in the middle and Liao Hua was behind. They withdrew more than ten feet away. When they reached the mouth of the valley, they stopped.
"Form up on the spot and prepare your crossbowmen." Wang Ping gave the order while roughly counting the number of people. The two sides had lost nearly a thousand soldiers in the confrontation just now, which made Wang Ping annoyed and painful.
"Woo¡ª¡ª" A sound like a ghost crying and wolf howling came out, which made people's hair stand on end. Then a pair of barbarians appeared at the fire. They were covered in animal skins, and on their heads were the hoods of tigers, leopards and jackals. , with a bow and arrow in his hand and a scimitar on his waist, he rushed over with a strange scream.
While charging, they fired arrows here, but they didn't care whether the arrows could hit Han soldiers?
"General, they are releasing poison gas!" Liao Hua's voice was full of panic.
¡°Shoot the arrow quickly!¡± Wang Ping shouted.
But the Han army¡¯s crossbowmen only shot some arrows sporadically, and occasionally some barbarian soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
And on the Han army¡¯s side, soldiers kept falling. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
