Shi Jingtang had no idea that his every move had been betrayed by his subordinates. Sure enough, he set up a long snake formation on the narrow mountain road.

Shicun Seizao, who was bought by Chen Gong, was as a guide and led the way ahead, feeling uneasy.

He revealed Shi Jingtang's background to Xia Village and lied about Xia Village's military strength. If Shi Jingtang discovered it, he would have no place to die.

At this time, there is no turning back.

Shi Jingtang led his troops to travel on the mountain road for three days and finally arrived at the end of the mountain road.

At the end of the mountain road, a wooden village stands on the terrain, with more than a dozen guards patrolling.

The defenders saw the densely packed soldiers of Shi Village that appeared from the mountain road and were frightened and quickly lit the wolf smoke.

Rolling black smoke rose from the beacon tower in Muzhai.

"Take Muzhai!"

The general under Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan, led two hundred light infantrymen to the forefront and was ordered to capture Muzhai.

The scout cavalry had already reminded the rear army that Xia Village built a new wooden village on the mountain road, with about ten defenders stationed there.

As a capable general under Shi Jingtang, Liu Zhiyuan knew that the speed of soldiers was the most important.

Muzhai lit the wolf smoke and warned Xia Village. Therefore, Shi Jingtang's soldiers must take down Muzhai as soon as possible and enter the valley.

As long as you enter the valley and flat ground, it depends on your own methods.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the guards, Ma Claus, has led two hundred troops to attack Muzhai!"

"If Liu Zhiyuan can't even capture such a Muzhai, come and see him."

Shi Jingtang rode a black war horse, and dozens of elite cavalry guarded Shi Jingtang.

This elite cavalry was Shi Jingtang's most important direct troops.

"Hahaha!"

Shi Jingtang looked around the terrain and suddenly laughed.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

"I laughed at the people in Xia Village who were incompetent and did not set up ambush on the mountain road. They only sent more than ten people to station in Muzhai, and thought they could block my army. If the other party was Qin Emperor and Han Wu, I'm afraid I would have misunderstood."

Shi Jingtang sighed.

Although Shi Jingtang was also an emperor, he became one of the five emperors by calling himself a minister to the Khitans, which was far from the talent of an emperor of the unified level like Qin Emperor Han and Wu.

Unless Shi Jingtang is very lucky and occupy a larger territory before the Qin Emperor and Han Wu develop, he can compete with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu with his economic advantages.

This is also the reason why Shi Jingtang couldn't wait to conquer Xia Village after harvesting the grain.

Not to mention Qin Emperor and Han Wu, even Huang Taiji in the plains could not defeat Shi Jingtang.

Therefore, Shi Jingtang needed more population and food.

Zhang Hua, Sun Shangxiang and a team of archers hid behind the wooden wall of Muzhai. A group of people bent over and looked up at Muzhai from below. They could only see a dozen panicked defenders, but they could not see the archers hiding behind the wooden wall.

Zhang Hua deliberately showed weakness in order to attract the troops from Shicui to attack Muzhai.

"The other party is less than a hundred steps away."

"Eighty steps."

"Sixty steps."

"Fifty steps."

"Be patient and wait."

"Thirty steps!"

"Shoot the arrow!"

150 longbowmen hiding behind the wooden wall appeared, divided into three groups, bent their bows and volleys!

The bow is astonished as thunder and strings!

The rain of arrows fell on the heads of the soldiers in Shi Village. The soldiers in Shi Village did not expect that there would be a large number of ambush soldiers. They suffered heavy losses for a while, and more than a dozen soldiers were shot and killed by arrows.

With a sneer, the bow and arrow tore the leather armor of a Shicun soldier and penetrated into his body.

Bang!

The arrows actually exploded, and the unlucky soldiers in Shi Village flew everywhere, and they could not die any more.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Hua discovered that the moment Sun Shangxiang was shooting an arrow, it seemed that he attached the true energy in his body to the bow and arrow. The arrow shot could actually explode after hitting the enemy's troops, double the lethality of the bow and arrow.

If Sun Shangxiang had such ability in the real Three Kingdoms period, he would have long become a powerful general at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, no, he was even more powerful than Lu Bu.

Generals such as Sun Shangxiang, Liao Hua, Chen Wu, Xu Chu were all exploring the uses of true qi. Sun Shangxiang had some understanding of bow techniques and learned it without a teacher, and invented this method of causing bows to explode.

The visual effect of this purpose is extremely scary, because when no one knows, the companions explode.

After the first round of volleys, the second round of volleys arrived!

"Raising the shield!"

Liu Zhiyuan knew that he had been trapped and shouted.

The soldiers of Shicun raised their shields and squeezed into a row to form a shield wall to block most of the rain of arrows.

At this moment, the defense of the soldiers in Shicun increased. The damage caused by the second round of arrow rain and the third round of arrow rain is no longer as terrifying as the first round of arrow rain.

Sun Shangxiang's bow technique was still as brutal as ever. He flew out with an arrow and shot through the leather shield, and then exploded in front of the soldiers in Shicun, causing the shield formation composed of the soldiers in Shicun to become vacant.

"There are at least hundreds of people!"

Liu Zhiyuan looked at Muzhai, and there were at least a hundred archers ambushing behind the wooden wall, condescending. It was extremely difficult for Liu Zhiyuan's two hundred soldiers to capture Muzhai.

But what Liu Zhiyuan feared the most was not the ambush in Muzhai, but...

"kill!"

There were loud shouts of killing, and ambushing soldiers lying on both sides of the mountain road, Feng Yi, Chen Wu and Wang Feng led their troops out.

Wang Er, the captain of the Northern Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Bow, led a team of crossbow soldiers to ambush in the woods. When Shi Jingtang passed by, the crossbow machines were fired together, and crossbow arrows were shot. Many soldiers in Shi Village were killed by arrows!

As soon as Feng Yi appeared, his talent "attacking the heart" came into effect. The morale of Shi Jingtang and Liu Zhiyuan fell, and the army was in turmoil and had no intention of fighting.

Chen Wu was even more fierce, and led a hundred beggars to cross the army of Shicun from the middle!

The saber cut off a soldier in the Shi Village in half, and the red blood splattered on Chen Wu's armor!

Liu Zhiyuan and Shi Jingtang were divided into two parts, partly trapped in front, and partly left behind, each fighting for his own battle.

Shi Jingtang no longer had his previous ridicule, and was so scared that he drew out his sword and shot him at the crossbow arrow: "The other party obviously knew our march schedule and set up an ambush in advance. There must be a traitor!"

After all, Shi Jingtang was an old fox. He suddenly thought that something went wrong and wanted to find a Xiaozuo who was the guide. However, Xiaozuo who was bribed by Chen Gong had already escaped into the woods.

Feng Yi, Liao Hua, Chen Wu, Wang Er, attacked Shi Jingtang's troops in the long snake formation. Shi Jingtang was unable to spread his troops in the narrow terrain, so he could only watch the troops being eaten.

Liao Hua's Shu light infantry was as strong as a mountain terrain. The second-level troops could exert the combat power of the third-level troops, chopping down the soldiers of the Shi Village crowded between the mountain roads, and dyeing the rocks on the mountain roads with blood.

The generals of Xia Village were prepared and had no plans and Feng Yi's talent for attacking the heart. Soon, the soldiers under Shi Jingtang had no fighting spirit and were defeated.

"Protect Your Majesty to retreat!"

"With our Left Shooting Army, your Majesty doesn't have to worry!"

Next to Shi Jingtang, dozens of elite cavalry took down corner bows to protect Shi Jingtang's retreat, fired their bows left and right, and shot nearby crossbow soldiers.

"Is this Shi Jingtang's left-shooting army? I've heard of it for a long time!"

Wang Er, a soldier from the Northern Song Dynasty, knew that Shi Jingtang from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms had an elite cavalry called "Left Shooting Army".

Usually, cavalry cavalry uses the right hand to pull the string, and the shooting angle is biased towards the front left.

But this elite cavalry can pull the string with the right hand or the left hand, with a wider shooting angle and hit rate.
