Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since cavalry was not conducive to fighting in the woods, Du Yang finally decided to let fifty heavy armored infantry guard the narrowest intersection into the village, while the Longbow Guards conducted supporting shooting on the hillside.  In the end, the cavalry led by Du Yun detoured to the rear and carried out a double-team attack. They just hoped that the fifty heavy armored infantry could hold on to the enemy's force ten times their number.

    As the commander of an army, Du Yang naturally could not go to the battlefield in person. He left thirty heavy armored cavalry as the general's guard, and the rest were handed over to Commander Du Yun. Naturally, Lan joined the Longbow Guard. His arrows  Ya had already spread the word among the longbow guards, and his joining naturally increased their morale a lot.

    Yu Ji was supposed to stay in Wujiao Village to help Xia Nuoya and other military doctors prepare to treat the injured, but she refused to stay too far away from Lan. Du Yang could only allow her to stay behind Lan within a safe range.  , "protect" those archers who have almost no melee capabilities.

    Xia Nuoya was placed in the military doctor's tent in Wujiao Village. Most of the common hemostatic drugs and bandages were sufficient. However, including the ten soldiers who served as guards, they all knew that those who could best treat external injuries would not be able to survive if they were killed by the giants of the Black Armored Army.  If the sword cuts you, even the gods may not be able to save you.

    The darkness before dawn is always so long. Each formation of Lan Jian's troops headed out from the gate of Wujiao Village to the destination indicated by the order. The thirty-man Longbow Guards followed by Lan quickly reached the hillside.  .  Looking down from a distance on the entire road to Shangwujiao Village, as well as the fifty heavy armored infantry ambushing on the mountain roadside.

    Waiting for everything to be arranged, it was already midnight. According to Du Yang's order, the soldiers must extinguish their torches and prepare for an ambush.  Once the torch was extinguished, the surrounding temperature dropped a bit, and Yu Ji's thin women's clothing was obviously not enough. Lan could only hold Yu Ji in her arms to prevent her from freezing.

    Yu Ji felt a little tired in Lan's warm embrace, and even her fear of battle had faded. From Lan, she got not only the warmth that dispelled the cold, but also an extremely reliable sense of security.  She fell asleep in Lan's warm arms before she knew it.  The soldiers around him didn't care about Envy Lan at the moment. Most of them took the time to rest, and only a few soldiers were sent there to observe.

    Lan was also a little tired. After all, only nocturnal animals can be energetic at night. The competition in the morning also consumed a lot of Lan's energy. He just hugged Yu Ji and gradually fell asleep.  You have to know that the battle may last for a long time. Du Yangjun is also fighting with his back to the wall and cannot afford to suffer a defeat.

    "Deng Deng. Deng Deng" Lan, as a hunter, soon heard the sound that shook the earth, like the sound of many large animals passing by in groups. It was obvious that the black armored army was close to their attack range.  He woke up the sleeping Yu Ji, and then the patrolling soldiers also discovered the black armored army. All the archers immediately entered a battle preparation posture and were ready to go.

    At this time, some of the fish belly has turned white in the east, and a faint light shines on the dark armor of the black armored troops. Some of the black armored troops still hold torches. The entire army is like a long black dragon, slowly crawling up the mountain.  The black armors were connected into one piece, and it was almost difficult to see the end of the team.  This made many soldiers tremble at the disparity in numbers.  Can they really survive?

    But now, there is no room for retreat.  Now all they need to do is follow orders as best they can.  Try to reduce the pressure as much as possible for the fifty comrades below.  The Longbow Guards were only issued about thirty arrows to each person, and there were only ten bags of spare arrows. Each bag contained about fifty arrows. Now facing the dark troops, they were indeed a little worried.  There is strength to spare but not enough.

    "Calm down. Calm down." The commander of the Longbow Guards spoke. He knew that the black armored army had indeed entered our firing range, but once the arrows were released, it would be easy for the black armored army to immediately discover the heavy infantry lurking around.  , more likely to be returned directly because of this.  Reduced the effectiveness of ambush.

    One hundred meters, the longbow is enough to penetrate any heavy armor at this distance, but the commander-in-chief still did not give any orders, but just signaled everyone to stand by.  Many soldiers had already tightened their bowstrings, aiming firmly at the enemies down the hillside, ready to attack.

    Fifty meters away, the black armored army is only a short distance away from the heavy armored infantry down the hillside. Soon the black armored army will be completely within everyone's shooting range.

    "Get ready! Fire arrows!" The commander gave the order, and all the longbow guards immediately released their long bows that had been aimed at them for a long time. More than 30 arrows, including Lan, were shot towards the center of the Black Armored Army.  The power of the long bow has already been exerted to its extreme at such a distance. The arrows easily penetrated the heavy armor that the Black Armored Army was proud of and took away the sinful life. What's more, the Black Armored Army did not expect at all.  In the ambush, a small number fell down in an instant. Some of them were not killed by an arrow, but were trampled to death by other soldiers who followed behind.

    "There is an ambush! There is an ambush."?Hurry into the woods!  "The commander of the Black Armored Army is not an ordinary person. He just used his long sword to deflect an arrow and ordered his troops to seize it in the woods. In just a few seconds, the second wave  The arrows immediately scattered among the crowd, and the precise shooting and the power of the long bow immediately claimed the lives of many soldiers of the Black Armored Army.

    Since they did not expect any resistance in the first place, the Black Armored Army did not prepare any long-range weapons at all. They could only run towards the woods like headless flies, exposing their backs to the Longbow Guards on the hillside, further enhancing their strength.  The morale of the long archers was dampened, and crazy arrows were fired at the black-armored troops who were in a mess.

    As soon as part of the black-armored army hid in the woods, they heard a horn, and the sound of a charge suddenly erupted in the woods. The heavy infantry had been gearing up and waiting for the black-armored army all night, and the narrow woods became the number of people.  The small number of Du Yang's troops was the best barrier. Often a heavily armed soldier only had to deal with one or two enemies, and some even had arrow wounds on their bodies. Soon the melee troops had some advantages.

    The longbow guards on the hillside did not stop at all, and continued to pour anger and arrows on the following black-armored troops. Usually, each salvo could take away the lives of more than a dozen people, and also injured some black-armored troops.  He lost his ability to fight and fell into the chaotic crowd, and was trampled to death by other black-armored troops who came one after another.

    However, after all, the number of the Black Armored Army is far greater than that of the Du Family Army. Soon the bows and arrows of the Longbow Guards will be exhausted, leaving only the spare arrows. Lan just wanted to pick up a bag but was stopped by the commander. Those bows and arrows  It was used to cover the retreat of the heavily armored soldiers, not to mention that all the black armored soldiers had already hid in the woods, leaving only a lot of dying ones on the mountain road.  The fifty heavy infantrymen at the foot of the hillside also showed signs of decline. From time to time, some of them were chopped into pieces by the black armored troops swarming up.

    Seeing that the arrows on the hillside had stopped, the commander of the Black Armored Army blew the horn beside him, ordered the troops to reorganize, and ordered the subsequent troops to support the front and eliminate the heavy infantry.  Those black-armored troops were originally composed of villains and bandits. Seeing that their numbers were far greater than the Du family's army that had attacked them before, their arrogance suddenly returned.  He picked up his weapon and rushed towards the enemy in front.

    The decline of the Du family army has appeared, but Lan cannot continue to support the infantry below due to the limitation of arrows, so he can only worry there. Many longbowmen cannot bear to see their comrades gradually lose, and want to apply for arrows to support them.  , but they were all organized by the commander-in-chief.

    "No matter, Yu Ji, lend me Tianquan and Earth Fire." Lan took the pair of swords from Yu Ji's back before she could react.

    "What are you going to do? Lan?" Before Yu Ji understood what Lan was planning to do, she saw Lan finding a gentler hillside and rushing down the hillside.  Yu Ji almost fainted from Lan's impulsive behavior, and then she wanted to slide down the hillside with Lan, but was stopped by the commander who woke up.

    "He is going to do what he is willing to do. If you go down now, you will only become a burden to him. Since you love him, you must believe in him." The commander-in-chief was the one who slammed the table in anger at the banquet before, but he did not  Thinking of being on the battlefield, he was surprisingly calm.  He knew that Lan would definitely escape death if he rushed forward, but that was Lan's decision after all.  What he has to do now is to take good care of his lover for Lan.

    "This is how courageous Lan is. Are young people nowadays so desperate?" The commander looked at Lan's figure, but not long after, Lan killed the two nearest black-armored soldiers and tried every means to fight hard.  The hoplites ran away.

    The screams from the hillside were mixed with the sounds of fighting, and Lan quickly disappeared within the scope of the Longbow Guards.  All they can do next is pray.
