Chapter 355: Longshan Road
"Hey..."
A clear eagle cry sounded in Longshan Road, followed closely by a figure that looked like a black arrow.
He raised his head and saw the eagle soaring in the sky. Qin General Ying Zhi, who was riding on his horse, glanced around again.
As far as he could see, a famous soldier passed by him, and the entire Qin army shuttled through the Longshan Road like a blue dragon.
He calmed down his mind slightly, gently held the reins with his right hand, and lightly kicked the horse beneath him with his firm feet.
"drive……"
Just as Ying Zhi was slowly moving forward following the footsteps of his soldiers, a figure on horseback from the front had already arrived beside him.
"General, according to the current speed of our army, we will arrive at Wushi Sai in about three days."
After listening to the deputy general's report, and remembering the doctor Zheng Sheng's instructions before leaving, Ying Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity on his face.
"Tell the soldiers to be careful and not to slack off in the slightest."
The lieutenant general was a little confused about Ying Zhi being so cautious. He didn't know why his general was so cautious.
In his view, the main force of the Wei army was far east of the Jing River, hundreds of miles away from the hinterland of Qin.
As for the enemy troops outside the Wuzhi Great Wall, they are just the remnants of Yiqu soldiers, and there is nothing to worry about. There is no need to be so cautious.
However, even though he was quite dissatisfied in his heart, the deputy general could not speak out to refute the commander-in-chief Ying Zhi.
"Follow orders."
After a response, the lieutenant lightly dismounted his horse and headed back along the road he came from.
The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground echoed in his ears, and Ying Zhi subconsciously scanned his surroundings with his eyes.
The trees on the slopes on both sides were so dense, and the mountains were so quiet except for people like myself.
But from the silence around him, Ying Zhi could faintly feel that a danger seemed to be coming.
Once this thought arose, it lingered in Ying Zhi's mind for a long time and never dissipated.
However, after a few breaths, his eyes returned to the soldiers passing by him, and the war horse under him also took its steps again.
Ying Zhi led the Qin army and walked along the Longshan Road for several days. Everything was so calm and peaceful along the way.
Seeing Wushi Sai getting closer and closer to him, just when Ying Zhi thought that everything was his illusion, the deputy general appeared in front of him with a look of anxiety on his face.
"General Qi, those soldiers under General Bai Yu are missing."
"What!"
The deputy general's anxious voice rang in his ears, and alarm bells rang in Ying Zhi's originally calm heart.
Almost at the same time, his eyes scanned his surroundings again.
The dense jungle on the hillside is still so quiet, but what is different from before is that there are flying birds in the surrounding sky that have not fallen for a long time.
"Retreat quickly, there is an ambush here."
It has to be said that the troops led by Ying Zhi this time were indeed the elite of the Qin army. As soon as the general's order was given, the troops that were originally moving forward quickly began to retreat.
However, it was too late for Ying Zhi to react, as most of the Qin army had already fallen into the trap that had been prepared long ago.
The Qin troops marching on the road retreated one after another, and in the dense forest that seemed to be calm, there were suddenly the sounds of killing orders one after another.
"Archers, shoot the arrows!"
As soon as the command sounded, there were waves of vibrating sound of bowstrings.
After a few breaths, accompanied by the somewhat desperate looks of Qin's soldiers, an arrow cloud formed by shooting arrows quickly appeared in the sky.
Countless arrows fell into the ranks of the Qin army, and the sharp arrows effortlessly cut through the thin armor of the Qin soldiers.
The blood flowing out, the wails of the soldiers who were hit by arrows, and the comrades who could no longer get up...
All the changes happened in an instant, and the Qin soldiers had no time to react to the sudden attack.
At this moment, there was no room for other thoughts in their minds, only the order Ying Zhi had just given remained in their minds.
There's an ambush here!
Escape quickly!
After the attack, the Qin soldiers who were originally serving as reinforcements retreated even faster.
However, the Wei army who had been waiting around for a long time did not seem to be prepared to let the Qin army escape, and loud shouts of killing immediately rang out around them.
"kill!"
The red banner fluttered high in the wind, and the Wei army appeared around the Qin army like tigers descending from the mountain.
Appear, encounter, confront...
When the sharp sword penetrated the dark armor, and when a famous soldier fell powerlessly, the final fate of this Qin army was determined at this moment.
With the sudden attack and the combat power far exceeding that of their opponents, the Wei army had firmly locked the battle situation almost as soon as it appeared.
The retreating Qin army was tightly held back by the Wei army and was quickly divided into small square formations that were inaccessible to each other.
Qin General Ying Zhi, who was in the largest square formation and protected by many guards, was staring straight ahead at the moment.
When the red banner and the word Wei appeared in his sight, raging anger immediately burned in Ying Zhi's eyes.
"Wei Jun, it turns out to be Wei Jun!"
His right hand gently touched the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist, and the next moment the sharp sword appeared in Ying Zhi's hand.
The long sword was pointed at the red Wei troops in all directions, and Ying Zhi almost used all his strength to roar out a cry from his chest.
"Generals and soldiers of the Qin army, fight!"
"kill!"
Even if they were in a desperate situation, even if there was no hope of victory, the Qin army, surrounded by the Wei army, finally broke out with its own bloody spirit.
It's just that the gap between Qin and Wei was too great. No matter how unyielding the Qin soldiers were, they could only fall to the sharp sword of the Wei army in the end.
"boom!"
The long sword stained with blood fell heavily to the ground. Qin General Ying Zhi, who had been fighting for who knows how long, stared at a Wei soldier in front of him.
At this moment, the halberd in the opponent's hands was thrust straight forward, and the sharp halberd blade pierced Ying Zhi's armor.
The next moment, as the halberd was suddenly withdrawn, Ying Zhi, who lost his support, fell backwards.
"boom……"
Another dull sound sounded in the Longshan Road, and Ying Zhi's body fell heavily to the ground.
The blood flowed uncontrollably, and just as Ying Zhi's consciousness gradually blurred, a voice not far away clearly reached his ears.
"Pass on my military order to bury the soldiers of both armies in this battle generously."
"Here."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zhi's vision went dark and he could no longer perceive what was happening in the outside world.
For the Wei army, this ambush on Longshan Road can be said to be very successful.
At an extremely small cost, the Wei army completely wiped out the reinforcements led by Ying Zhi, and the hinterland of Qin opened its arms to the Wei army.
That is to say, after the ambush battle in Longshan Road, the Wei army, under Sun Boling's order, rushed non-stop towards Qicheng, which was located on the bank of Qishui River.
…
"Reporting to Sima, Qicheng has completely fallen into the hands of our army."
Sun Boling stood at the top of Qian City, listening to the situation reported by the deputy general in his ears, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
With the surprise attack on Wushi Fortress, the complete annihilation of Qin's reinforcements, and the capture of Micheng, every goal he had envisioned had been successfully achieved.
Next, it’s time to take that step.
"Pass my military order to rest for three days. After three days..."
Gently raising his right hand towards the south, a cold light appeared in Sun Boling's eyes.
"The troops are approaching Yongdu!"
