Volume 2: Unpredictable Chapter 565: The First Wave of Ambush

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Han Sui captured seven cities in the northern region, leaving nearly 10,000 soldiers to guard each one. After all, Han Sui marched deep into the enemy's territory, and his marching operations were ever-changing and unpredictable.  Just in case, Han Sui naturally had to leave an escape route.

    Han Sui continued to march with 50,000 elite troops. His troops were winning battles in consecutive days. With their morale soaring, Han Sui wanted to take advantage of the victory and continue to accelerate his march.  A few days later, Han Sui led his troops to the outside of a narrow valley road that stretched for nearly two miles.  When Yan Xing saw the steep path of the valley, his expression became condensed and he persuaded Han Sui.

    "My lord, this valley road is narrow and long. If Xu Rong lays an ambush here, our army will be destroyed. Why don't you order the army to take a detour?"

    Han Sui narrowed his soft eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and then smiled.

    "Haha. The height of this valley is nearly ten feet. It would take an average man two days to climb to the top of the valley. What's more, there is nothing on the top of the valley, and there is nothing to eat. If it hadn't been arranged in advance, there would never be anything here.  Ambush the army.

    "And we have only been in the north for ten days. How can Xu Rong have time to set up an ambush here?"  Unless he had expected it, I would send troops to attack the Northland.  I, Han Wenyue, have never seen such a person who knows everything like a god. Although Xu Rong is quite capable of commanding troops, he is not a god either.

    What's more, if we take a detour, we will delay our trip for at least ten days.  This ten-day gap was enough for Xu Rong to deploy heavy troops in the remaining cities and counties to deepen defenses.  It can be said to be a great disadvantage to our army.  Yan Ming doesn't need to worry too much, he can just let the soldiers go straight forward.  There is absolutely no chance of an ambush here!  "

    Han Sui looked confident and started talking eloquently.  Yan Xing was justified in hearing this, so he immediately stopped trying to persuade him and ordered the soldiers to move forward as ordered.

    The 50,000 Korean soldiers were walking slowly in the valley like a giant dragon. The valley was really narrow, with towering cliffs on both sides, and strange noises could be heard from time to time.  At first, the soldiers were frightened, fearing that something unexpected might happen, so they moved forward cautiously. Later, when they saw that everything was normal, they became bolder and moved further and further away.

    Three hours later, as Han Sui expected, the army did not encounter an ambush. After passing through the valley, Han Sui led his army to a jungle. It was already getting late, and Han Sui saw that all the soldiers looked tired.  He ordered the soldiers to rest in the jungle for one night and then start their journey again tomorrow.

    Han Sui¡¯s troops and horses stopped one after another. The soldiers in the army were resting and recuperating in various places in the jungle, making fires to cook, or patrolling around.  Seeing that the jungle was densely covered with trees and branches, Yan Xing felt a little uneasy, so he rushed to find Han Sui, hoping to negotiate with him to withdraw his troops from the jungle.

    Han Sui heard what Yan Xing said and laughed again. He said that Yan Xing was being too cautious. The woods here were densely covered, but if there were troops and horses moving, there would be a lot of movement.  Moreover, there were no traces of soldiers and horses walking around. If there was an ambush, it must have been laid many days ago.

    Yan Xing frowned, he always felt uneasy, and Han Sui seemed to be winning for days, and he was arrogant, and he was not as cautious as before.

    And just when Han Sui's laughter fell, suddenly there was the sound of countless leaves shaking, and at the same time there was the sound of dense weapons and armor clashing.  Han Sui was shocked when he heard this. Before he could open his mouth, he heard a thunderous roar not far away.

    "Han Wenyue, you attacked the Northland for no reason, and your treachery has been revealed! The General Hussar had expected that you would take the opportunity to rebel, so I have been waiting for a long time. Today I will take your life and sacrifice it to the court! Shoot!!!"

    In the dark night, a big man wearing silver armor with a tiger's head shouted loudly. This general was Xu Rong, the governor of the North. Countless well-armored soldiers were densely arrayed around Xu Rong, and as he waved with his big hand,  As soon as Han Sui fell, the soldiers on all sides immediately pulled up their bow strings, aimed at Han Sui's soldiers and horses, and shot arrows that broke through the air.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? !  !  !  !  !

    The arrows fell like a heavy rain, rushing towards Han Sui's soldiers and horses overwhelmingly.  Most of the Korean soldiers were resting and had no time to evade. In addition, it was dark at night and it was impossible to see the direction of the arrows.  Thousands of shrill screams were heard, and a gun burst out. As rounds of arrows were shot out, the Korean soldiers rushed to a large area in an instant, and pools of blood flew everywhere, dyeing half of the jungle red.

    Han Sui was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he hurriedly hid in the crowd of soldiers. Unexpectedly, wherever he went, there was a terrifying dense rain of arrows, and the soldiers protecting Han Sui died one after another.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? !  !

    At this moment, nearly a hundred arrows suddenly rushed towards Han Sui from all directions. There were only dozens of soldiers left around Han Sui. Those soldiers tried to block it, but they were all shot to death.  Seeing that Han Sui was about to be swallowed up by the rain of arrows, Yan Xing arrived in time, waved his eagle head and long spear, danced like an airtight man, and smashed all the arrows, which was very heroic and mighty.

    "Here comes someone!!! Protect the Lord and escape from here quickly!!!"

    Yan Xing shouted loudly, Candidate and ZhangSeeing that Han Sui was in danger, the second general quickly led his soldiers to protect him.  Han then crowded into the army and horses, with Candidate and Zhang Heng guarding him, and led the army to retreat out of the jungle.

    Xu Rong ordered the crossbowmen to fire indiscriminately. The Korean army was shot with strong bows and crossbows, causing chaos in the formation and causing numerous casualties.  In the surrounding trees, there were at least dozens of arrows inserted into each one, which was very frightening.  Arrows continued to be fired from all directions, seemingly endless. The civilian crossbowmen fired for at least an hour, killing nearly 10,000 Korean soldiers.  The jungle was densely covered with corpses of Korean soldiers, and the blood flowing from the corpses gathered together to form enchanting blood streams.

    Under the protection of generals Candidate and Zhang Heng, Han Sui hurriedly exited the jungle and walked in embarrassment toward the valley road ahead.  Behind them, groups of Korean soldiers with uneven armor, pale faces and horrified eyes followed closely.

    Not long after Han Sui escaped into the valley, his heart suddenly jumped and he stopped immediately. What Yan Xing said to him today suddenly rang in his mind.

    "Not good!!! Get back quickly!!!"

    Han Sui was known as the Nine-Bend of the Yellow River, and his intelligence was superhuman. He immediately thought that there might be an ambush here, and hurriedly ordered his army to retreat.  However, the soldiers at the rear had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, so how could they go back and die again? When they saw the soldiers in the front stopped, they quickly reached out and pushed them forward, squeezing forward with all their might.

    The soldiers in the front wanted to retreat, but the soldiers in the rear wanted to move forward. At this moment, the Korean army was in chaos again. Han Sui yelled hysterically. Candidate and Zhang Heng were forced to have no choice but to draw their weapons.  They rushed towards the rear, and if they saw any soldiers disobeying orders and pushing forward, they would immediately raise their swords and kill them.

    However, the chaos of the Korean army did not last long, and it suddenly became extremely quiet.

    ????????????????????????????? !  !

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Loud noises were heard from high places, the Korean soldiers seemed to be so frightened that their souls flew away and their minds were completely lost.  However, as the loud noise became more and more rapid, the Korean soldiers could no longer bear their fear and fled madly to the rear.

    Boom boom boom!  !  !

    Three huge rocks fell one after another, killing nearly a hundred Korean soldiers in time. Flesh and blood flew out and hit the surrounding Korean soldiers. The feeling of blood immediately made these Korean soldiers become even more crazy.

    ¡°Get away!! Get away!!!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t block the road!!!¡±

    "Wow!!! You!!!"

    "Crazy!!! Everyone is crazy!!! Wow!! Don't chop me!!!"

    Within the Korean army, you squeezed me and I pushed you. As long as they could escape even a little bit, these Korean soldiers would not hesitate to hack to death anyone who stood in the way.  Han Sui was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, when a huge boulder suddenly fell on top of his head.  Han Sui didn't know how to dodge, but fortunately the candidate pushed him away in time, otherwise Han Sui would have been smashed to pieces.

    Boom!  !  !

    The boulder exploded with a bang, and countless rubbles flew violently. Han Sui was hit by nearly dozens of rubbles, and his body was covered in blood.  Han Sui screamed in pain. The candidate hurriedly helped Han Sui up and ran away towards the valley road.  Han Sui's helmet fell off at some point, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood. In addition, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kept making strange screams. At this time, Han Sui no longer had the majesty of the past, and he was like an innocent ghost.

    Huge boulders kept falling from high altitudes, and Han Sui's escape was full of dangers. He was almost hit by falling boulders several times.  When the boulders were all smashed and the Korean troops still surviving in the valley breathed a sigh of relief, thick logs rolled down from the cliffs on both sides of the valley, frightening the Korean troops as if they were a group boiling over in disaster.  Roasted ants, jumping around like crazy.

    These logs are more terrifying than boulders, because the valley space is extremely narrow, and a log rolling down will often hit nearly a large number of Korean soldiers.

    In this narrow valley, shrill screams rang out one after another, accompanied by earth-shaking loud noises.

    In just half an hour, the number of Korean soldiers killed had reached thousands.  Like irrational bulls, the Korean soldiers rushed out to both sides of the valley road. The Korean soldiers fleeing to the rear encountered Xu Rong leading his troops to kill them, and they immediately retreated into the valley road in fear.  Xu Rong led his army to cover up the enemy. After reaching the entrance of the valley, he deployed a large number of troops to seal the entrance of the valley. Whenever he saw Korean soldiers escaping, he immediately shot them with arrows.

    Two bloody hours passed.  As the last log fell, killing dozens more Korean soldiers, the offensive on the valley road suddenly stopped.  At this time, there were not many surviving Korean soldiers in the valley. Han Sui experienced nine deaths and finally led the remaining troops out of the valley.

    A gust of cold wind blew by, and the valley path was densely packed with bloody corpses. The smell of blood was extremely strong, and even the cold wind seemed to be stained with blood.

    "General, the Korean army was frightened to the point of losing all morale and could only flee. Why don't we continue to pursue them?"A literary general asked Xu Rong with some suspicion.  Xu Rong narrowed his eyes and answered coldly.

    "Don't chase the poor enemy. If we force these remnants of troops into a dead end, they will definitely fight to the bitter end. Even if they can be destroyed, our army will suffer heavy casualties. What's more, the lord has already made other arrangements. Unless God bless Han Wen,  Otherwise, it will be impossible to escape from the North!"
