Chapter 242 Ambush
In the middle of the night, heavy snow fell from the sky.
It was freezing outside, but inside the snow cave it was pretty manageable.
Although it can't be said to be warm, at least I can sleep.
Yun Zheng also had to lament that his decision to feed these Tian soldiers meat was a very wise one.
They ate many sheep and took off many sheep skins.
Now, all these sheepskins are put to use.
Without the sheepskin underneath, no one would be able to sleep that night.
In the morning, Yunzheng walked out of the snow cave.
Above the sky, heavy snow continued to fall.
When I looked up, I couldn't see clearly even fifty meters away.
Yunzheng led people to the outpost while cursing the terrible weather in Shuobei in his heart.
The people inside the outpost were boiling snow water. Just as Yun Zheng was about to ask them for a bowl of boiling water to soak in dry food, he suddenly remembered the sound of "hoofs tapping, hoofs tapping" in his ears.
Although the cold wind howled, the sound was still extremely clear.
That's the sound of horse hooves falling on the ice!
The Beihuan cavalry is in action!
Yun Zheng suddenly got excited, immediately dropped the dry food in his hand, and shouted at Gao He: "Send the order, the whole army is on alert! The drums are silent, no one is allowed to act without permission!"
Gao He didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly went down to deliver the order.
As Yun Zheng's order continued to be conveyed, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder.
Listening to the deafening sound of horse hooves, Yunzheng couldn't help but think wildly.
If this damn thing resonates and cracks the ice, this battlefield that should be full of seriousness will probably turn into a comedy.
Depend on!
This is a fucking war!
What are you thinking about?
Yunzheng shook his head vigorously, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, quickly climbed up to the height of the sentry, and at the same time ordered the soldiers of the sentry, "Send smoke!"
The commander of the sentry guard replied in a panic: "Your Majesty, the snow is too heavy, even if we set off the smoke, we can't see it!"
"Do not talk nonsense!"
Yun Zheng shouted angrily, "Hurry up and let go!"
The village chief didn't dare to say anything more and quickly asked people to set off the wolf smoke.
Looking at the busy village chief, Yun Zheng couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This fool!
The smoke is not for their own people to see!
This is for the Beihuan cavalry to see!
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer. Listening to this movement, there must be many people coming from Beihuan.
"Are you cold?"
Seeing Yunzheng's body trembling, Miaoyin couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I'm nervous!"
Yun Zheng whispered: "Don't talk, I'm afraid I'll be distracted..."
Listening to Yunzheng's words, Miaoyin couldn't help but be surprised.
Is he so nervous?
The enemy's movements were all within his expectations, so why should he be nervous?
Yunzheng couldn't explain his nervousness to Miaoyin.
He could only try to calm himself down as much as possible.
As they waited, the sound of hooves grew closer.
coming!
finally come!
Yunzheng was nervous and excited at the same time.
He could only close his mouth tightly, for fear that he would accidentally give an order.
At this moment, the Beihuan army was gathering at the mouth of the canyon.
"General, the enemy's sentry has set off smoke!"
At this time, the former army sent someone to Shudu to report.
"Wolf smoke?"
Shudu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "These courageous sheep are already scared to death! What's the use of setting off wolf smoke in such heavy snow? Haha..."
"Not only do they have no courage, they are also extremely stupid!"
The deputy general also laughed loudly, "If they don't let off the flames, we might have to be more careful! The Imperial Master is right, a big sheep has neither courage nor strategy!"
Isn't this warning telling them that Daqian has no defense?
Originally, they were worried before, worried that Daqian would send a small number of people to set up an ambush here.
Now, they don't have to worry at all!
At this time, the former army sent someone to report again, saying that they had been blocked by Daqian's people.
"How many people?"
Shudu asked immediately.
"Just a few dozen people!"
The messenger replied: "They blocked us with bows, arrows and stones, causing us a small number of casualties."
Yesu immediately reacted, "This must be someone from the sentry guard."
"A mere few dozen people want to stop the advance of our Beihuan cavalry?"
Shudu sneered with disdain, and immediately ordered loudly: "Give the order, ignore the enemy's obstruction, and pass through the canyon at full speed!"
"Yes!"
The messenger immediately went to deliver the order.
Shudu twisted his neck and shouted at the people around him with a fierce look on his face: "Charge over! I will use their hearts to drink wine later!"
"Yes!"
Everyone around Shudu yelled.
Everyone seemed extremely excited.
Under Shudu's order, the Beihuan cavalry rushed into the canyon in an endless stream.
This canyon is long and narrow, and the widest part of the canyon does not exceed one hundred feet.
The narrowest point may only be twenty or thirty feet, allowing at most dozens of cavalry to pass side by side.
Ordinary cavalry rush in in a chaotic manner, which can easily cause collisions and lead to trampling between men and horses.
But Shudu was led by Beihuan's elite cavalry, all of whom were well-trained.
Even when running at high speed, the formation of the army was not scattered at all.
Soon, all people from the front army entered the canyon.
Above the canyon, the men on Dagan's sentry seemed to have run out of bows and arrows, and could only hit them with rocks.
Although these stones caused some casualties to the Beihuan cavalry, the impact was not significant.
Even in the face of the attack from these rocks, Beihuan Iron Cavalry remained undisturbed.
There were even cavalrymen who bent their bows and nocked arrows while crossing the canyon, and shot up the canyon.
"We can't stop it anymore, retreat, retreat quickly!"
At this time, the sound of retreat sounded in the canyon.
Shudu laughed.
These big sheep have no choice but to run away if they encounter a slight counterattack!
But can they escape?
You killed them and still want to escape?
dream!
"Assault! The whole army attacks!"
Shudu yelled while riding his horse wildly.
Following Shudu's roar, the Beihuan cavalry continued to gather in the canyon.
The dull sound of horse hooves echoed in the canyon.
Shudu's face was particularly excited.
They are going to capture the sixth prince of Da Gan!
He is also the only prince in Daqian who makes an exception and is crowned king!
No matter what happens next, as long as we can capture the prince of Daqian, it will be a great achievement.
If he could defeat Daqian's reinforcements again, or take the opportunity to seize Shuofang City, that would be a great achievement.
"Ouch..."
The more Shudu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but imitate howling like a wolf.
Hearing this, Shudu imitated howling like a wolf, and many of Beihuan's cavalry also began to howl.
"Ouch..."
"Ouch..."
For a while, the howling of wolves continued to echo in the canyon.
The howls of wolves seemed to be announcing their victory.
"Dong dong dong..."
Just as the army was converging into the valley, a rapid drumbeat suddenly sounded in their ears.
Hearing the sound of drums, many of the Beihuan cavalry in the canyon couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Before they could recover, a large number of firewood bundles suddenly appeared on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon entrance.
Bundles of dry firewood continued to roll into the canyon, blocking the retreat of the Beihuan cavalry.
"Fire arrows!"
With a command, a flaming rocket of arrows rained down on the pyre...
