Chapter 230 An Ambush in Wanshan

Wanshan is located 19 miles northwest of Qian County. During his southern tour, Emperor Wu of Han personally visited Wanshan to set up a platform to worship the mountains and decreed Wanshan as "Southern Mountain". Therefore, Wanshan is known as "the first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River".

There are forty-two peaks in Wanshan, with pines, green bamboos, strange rocks, strange caves, waterfalls, and deep pools. "The peaks are all strange, the stones are all strange, the caves are all vast, and the springs are all roaring."

The main peak of Wanshan Mountain is called Tianzhu Peak. It stands in the air, with a pillar that stands up to the sky, full of stone bones, rugged and strange, magnificent and beautiful, like a pillar, a cone, a torch, a sword, a tower, and a wonderful brush of flowers.

At this moment, in the valley of Wanshan, a unit was winding. The soldiers who were marching were not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery and were just rushing to the road. Occasionally, soldiers stopped and the officers whipped up, scolding them not to be stunned and walk quickly. From the faces of the soldiers, it can be reflected that this was a team that had defeated and was retreating.

This is the morale of the troops. When you win one victory after another, the morale is fully mobilized. Without the need to mobilize the war, the soldiers howled and killed them. When you lose continuously, even if you are worn out, it will be difficult for you to provoke the soldiers' battles from the bottom of your heart. Such troops naturally do not have much combat power.

Especially when an army wants to retreat, it is necessary to prevent morale from dissipating, otherwise the retreat will turn into a fleeing. That is a disaster.

Huang Zhong knew this very well, so before formally retreating, he repeatedly asked officers at all levels to explain to his soldiers that they should cheer up and retreat in an orderly manner and not act blindly. Returning to Jingzhou is a victory.

After careful preparation, in the early morning of today, when the sky was not clear, tens of thousands of troops were divided into two groups. The left-road army walked on the avenue and crossed the river to Xiakou through Likeng. This was a suspected army. The right-road army was the main force, passing through Wanshan, walking the mountain path, and then going around to Huangcun to cross the river to return. Huangzhong himself led 5,000 elite troops to cut off the rear, and waited for the central army to pass through Wanshan safely before retreating.

In order to conceal the withdrawal of troops, when he woke up early in the morning, Huang Zhong ordered the five thousand soldiers who had been cut off to line up and pack up their weapons, which seemed to be sieging the city to confuse the defenders on the city.

At this moment, the vanguard troops were marching on the Wanshan Mountain Road, with about 5,000 people. The generals who commanded the troops were named Qi Yu, and the people from Xinye, Jingzhou were one of Liu Pan's favorite generals. They were brave in fighting and never retreated. Therefore, Huang Zhong handed over the mission of the outpost to Qi Yu with confidence, but he did not know that after Zhou Yu learned of the retreat route of the Jingzhou soldiers, he had already set up an ambush circle in Wanshan.

The Qi Dynasty led his troops to the most dangerous section of the Anhui Mountains. The path was narrow, with dense forests on one side and a hundred feet abyss on the other side. If you accidentally fell into the valley and crushed bones. Qi Dynasty keenly felt that if the enemy set up an ambush here, if you don’t want to pass, you will inevitably be distracted and you will not be able to escape.

"General has an order! Everyone gets a distance and pass carefully!" The messenger shouted loudly, and then the officers in the army passed this order to the soldiers in front and behind. The soldiers slowed down their marching pace, widened the distance between the front and back, unsheathed their swords, bowed in their hands, and walked slowly on the mountain road.

Qi Yu didn't know that Zhou Yu had sent Wang Yue to set up an ambush here, and the three thousand soldiers had been waiting for a night. When all the enemy troops walked onto the steep mountain road, Wang Yue gave the order and rounds of bow and arrow attacks began.

In this battle, he is determined to attack but is not prepared. No matter how careful Qi Yu is, he will never escape this disaster.

In the whistling rain of arrows, the soldiers of Jingzhou began to panic. Some experienced veterans hurriedly raised their shields and lowered their bodies to protect themselves with the help of the terrain. More soldiers were in a group, either moving forward or retreating. Some were unstable and were squeezed off the cliff.

"Ah", "Oh my god", "My mother~~", "Ergouzi~~" various screams on the scene were intertwined, mixed with "Puchip~~", the sound represented one sharp arrow after another shooting into the **, representing the disappearance of one life after another.

Qi Yu is also a brave general. After being attacked, he did not retreat but advanced. He led the most elite guards beside him, wielded his sword, and flew around him, and rushed towards the dense forest against the trend. Especially Qi Yu, although he was hit by two arrows, he rushed into the ambush position with his strong body.

Qi Yu waved his machete and rushed left and right in the ambush formation, causing chaos in this formation. More than ten soldiers fell under Qi Yu's sword.

Qi Yu was just getting angry when he suddenly felt a cold murderous aura spreading to him. He hurriedly leaned over and used an iron bridge to avoid Wang Yue's shot. Qi Yu then turned around and stood up in a hurry, but saw Wang Yue's iron spear stabbed again. His moves were ordinary, with only one characteristic: fast!

When a master fights, it does not depend on the complexity of the moves, but fast is the most effective weapon.

Qi Yu gritted his teeth and tried to machete Wang Yue's iron spear. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue's move changed again, turning into a sting. With a bang, he swept hard to the rest of his waist and swept Qi Yu to the ground. Qi Yu was shocked, and used a machete in his hand to "storm and rain" to protect his body firmly, and then he thrust a carp and stood up again.

"This enemy general is really tenacious~~" Wang Yue said in his heart. However, Wang Yue did not give Qi Yu another chance. He accelerated the iron spear in his palm again, and his speed was as fast as the wind and chased the lightning, making Qi Yu unable to avoid it. He watched Wang Yue's iron spear penetrate his chest.

Wang Yue's move was not a clever trick, but he only relied on the word "fast".

Qi Yue felt that the essence in his body was constantly gushing out of the wound, and the feeling of fatigue came like a tide. He looked at Wang Yue with disbelief, really didn't believe that his martial arts were so powerful and his gun speed was so fast. Wang Yue pulled the iron spear and kicked Qi Yue to the ground with a lift. After a while, Qi Yue's eyes slowly closed...

Qi Yu didn't know that his opponent Wang Yue was a contemporary super expert. If it comes to martial arts in infantry battles, he would probably be ranked first.

Qi Yu did not lose at all when he died under Wang Yue's gun.

"Woooo~~" A low trumpet sounded, and Wang Yue led his soldiers to start a charge. The low-spirited Jingzhou soldiers were already suffering heavy casualties. How could they withstand such charges? In addition to the dozens of soldiers who were walking in the last army who fled in advance when they saw that the situation was wrong, most of the rest of the people were annihilated, and about 2,000 people surrendered.
