Chapter 417: Ambush pursuers

"Your Highness, are we on the road now?" Until the ship disappeared from everyone's sight, Jin Wei asked carefully for instructions, "What route should I choose to return north?"

"On the road?" Sima Ji muttered himself, and said, "Who said that the road is on the road? I think there are pursuers behind me, and I just want to try the quality of the imperial guards. If there are no pursuers, it is not too late to go on the road. I send an order to march to find an ambush to hide. If there are no pursuers within half a day, we will go on the road again."

Although Sima Ji didn't think he could not do it, if he had the opportunity to give the other party a great man, who would say no? Is there any general who thinks he won too easily?

Sima Ji estimated that if there were pursuers, the number of people would definitely be only 10,000. The Central Imperial Army has always regarded itself very highly. Sima Ji, who once led the imperial guards to fight twice, knew this clearly. At least at the level of generals, this idea was common. If a group of people pursued was about 3,000, and it seemed that it was a cavalry dominated by the Hu people, the Central Imperial Army would definitely not have too many pursuing forces.

What's more, this is the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty. He rescued the princess under the noses of more than 100,000 imperial guards. The generals and soldiers who led the troops must be angry. The possibility of light troops pursuing them is very good, which is very beneficial to Sima Ji.

On the contrary, no matter who is pursuing, he would never think that Sima Ji would be ready to use his troops back. You should know that Sima Ji's military strength is definitely not as strong as him, and the imperial guards also think that his combat power is not as good as him.

Just so happened that the leader was still chasing Sun Hui. Sun Hui did not dare to stop for a moment along the way, and kept urging the imperial guards behind him to follow the clues on the road and bit Sima Jibei's return team. It took several hours in a row. The horse animal was actually not outstanding in its endurance, and it was already time to be trapped in the horse.

At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred. I saw countless arrows shooting from the valleys on both sides of the left and right, causing heavy casualties to the unprepared imperial guards. "Kill!" The Yan King's military flag was flying high, and a group of Sima Ji's cavalry who were well-equipped ambushed in the mountains and forests killed them, catching the imperial guards off guard.

Under the suppression and cover of endless bows and crossbows, thousands of cavalrymen rushed out from both sides, rushed into the center of the imperial guards' team, and cut off the team in half. Faced with the sudden arrival of war, all imperial guards were not mentally prepared.

You know, they were not prepared at all, because in the impression of the imperial guards, no one dared to ambush them? What's more, the number of opponents is not as large as theirs. The imperial guards are known as the world's number one combat power, and there is no use at this time.

Few people chasing the imperial guards knew that the commander on the opposite side had led the imperial guards to fight twice, and they could not understand the bad habits of the central imperial guards in Luoyang. They wished that their eyes would grow on their foreheads and let them put their eyes down to see if there were any traps. How difficult it would be.

The army facing Sima Ji is equipped with heavy bows, which not only requires greater strength, but only skilled archers can shoot accurately, and they can't shoot far. If they really form a battle formation, they will shoot face to face with the Central Plains bow's arrow formation, they may suffer a great loss. When the short-soldiers are connected, the best place to play the heavy bow, but when the short-soldiers are connected, the long spear and saber is more important than the heavy bow.

You should know that this heavy bow has always existed in the Northeast region. If there was no advantage at all, it would have been eliminated long ago. But in fact, this heavy bow became the last bow to the stage in the name of Qing bow, but it soon unified the world and eliminated almost all other bow types, which was inconsistent with the development.

In this ambush, Sima Ji saw the terrifying side of the heavy bow. At the right distance, the power of this thing was so abnormal. The clusters of arrows shot even had the effect of clearing the field in such dense teams. The King of Yan was not so happy to cut rice in his previous life.

"I heard that those hunters in the deep mountains could shoot hundreds of kilograms of wild boars through with one arrow, and the arrows were inserted into the ground. It was indeed extraordinary." Sima Ji listened to the screams of the people and horses. Even the Luoyang Imperial Guard did not have the luxury of using iron armor as armor. Facing this kind of arrow cluster covering, he would almost die or be injured.

The power of arrows is actually a very metaphysical thing. If you compare it with thermal weapons, the best comparison is torpedo. Torpedo is a metaphysical weapon that can either shoot the battleship into the soul, or siege the destroyer and beat it up, and make people pat their butts and leave. Even the most powerful heavy bow cannot replace the role of other troops.

From the beginning of the ambush, Sima Ji knew that he had won. Not only did he guess that there were pursuers behind him, but he also prepared for early defense. On one side, he was waiting for his own labor and being solemn, while on the other side, he chased him for a night in vain. Not only was he tired but he had no fighting spirit, even if the latter had more troops than the former, so what could it be?

The most taboo thing about ambushing in the night is that from the moment the ambush is successful, the battle will have one-sided effect. Even the Central Imperial Army, there are many soldiers of the imperial guards with night blindness. Once the night falls, it is impossible to see clearly. This is why there are frequent incidents of stealing camps in ancient battlefields. Sima Ji's cavalry all eat meat, and few of them have night blindness.

Even if the Central Imperial Guard has strong combat effectiveness, he cannot see clearly and cannot exert his combat effectiveness. This is not a problem that the honor of the Imperial Guard can solve. The vast land and the vast population are close to the herdsmen outside the border. It is not entirely a disadvantage to look at another occasion. At least it will show its good side now.

This ambush actually didn't last long. When the imperial guards were in chaos, Sima Ji ordered not to pursue and let the other party run away everywhere. He had no time to establish his authority in the heart of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"I have shown mercy to my subordinates. If it were the past, the set of killing prisoners would have been on the road. I have not ordered the injury to the injured." Sima Ji looked at Jin Wei beside him, "I ordered the army to return north and not pursue the deserter. By the way, I would like to ask who is the leader pursuing?"

As for these soldiers who were ambushed and not dead, they would like to be blessed. Sima Ji was not generous enough to treat the person who wanted to kill him, even in name only, the other party was a member of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"The one who led the troops to pursue Sun Xiu's son, the Captain of Shooting Sound, we should not have attacked his position, and we don't know where the other party is now." After a while, Jin Wei came back to report.
