Chapter 750 Ye Tang, who passed through the Great Black Valley, sent someone to Qi Heng to send back the news as soon as possible, there was no ambush in the Great Black Valley, and the front army had passed smoothly. 78 no pop-up window update fast After receiving the news from Ye Tang, Qi Heng couldn't help laughing, that is to say, with the little soldiers and horses of the An army, it was too late to hide and hide, how could he take the initiative to attack After the front army led by Ye Tang passed through the Great Black Valley, the mountain road gradually became wider, relatively smoother, and then went forward, the left side of the road was adjacent to the mountain, and the right side was next to the woods.
As he walked forward, all of a sudden, there was a scream in the sky.
Ye Tang subconsciously raised his eyes to watch, only to see two falcons hovering above the woodland on the side of the road.
He frowned, feeling strange, at this time, a ground net spy rushed over quickly, and said to him urgently: "General Ye, the falcon warns, there must be an enemy in the forest."
Ah Ye Tang was secretly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the jungle on the side of the road.
Could it be that the An army really set up an ambush in Chigou, but it is strange, there is such an excellent ambush location as the Great Black Valley, how can the An army ambush in the low-lying woods He couldn't understand what was going on, so he turned his head sideways and shouted: "Where are Zhang Shun and Wang Zuo?"
"The last general" With the sound of reply, the two partial generals urged the horse to come to Ye Tang, and intervened to salute: "What does General Ye command?"
"The falcon warns, there will be an enemy in the forest, you two quickly take an elite to the forest, if there is an enemy army, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will retreat immediately" "The last general obeys the order" Zhang Shun and Wang Zuo both surrendered their hands to receive the order, and then, each of them led a cavalry of 2,000 people and rushed into the woods by the roadside.
The falcon's warning was not a false alarm, there were indeed a large number of soldiers hidden in the forest, and soon after Zhang Shun and Wang Zuo entered the woodland, there was a sound of fighting inside.
Hearing the fierce battle inside, Ye Tang immediately made a decision and shouted: "The First Corps, all of them will fight" As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry soldiers behind him shouted in unison, turned their horses' heads, rushed down the mountain road, and ran into the woods.
With the participation of the First Corps, the fierce fighting in the forest was louder, shouting and killing, and people roared and neighed.
Time passed minute by minute, and he had not seen his brother return for a long time, Ye Tang's brows became more and more wrinkled, just as he was about to send the second corps to participate in the battle, the sound of battle in the forest began to gradually weaken, and after a short time, a soldier of the ninth army covered in blood rushed out of the forest, and quickly came to Ye Tang's approach, and said: "Report to General Ye, there are a lot of enemy troops in the forest, and they have been defeated by our army, and they are fleeing to the depths of the woodland, can our army pursue and kill."
Hearing that the enemy army was defeated, Ye Tang's heart finally fell, he sighed, and said: "Don't chase the enemy, immediately order Zhang Shun and Wang Zuo to lead the brothers of the First Corps to withdraw from the woodland." ” Cavalry is not suitable for fighting in the woods, especially clumsy hoplites, it is enough to be able to repel the enemy, if you pursue deep in the woodland, once the enemy counterattack is not good.
When the cavalryman heard this, he immediately gave up his hand, turned his horse's head, and ran back to the forest to convey Ye Tang's order.
Looking at the jungle below the mountain road, Ye Tang shook his head and smiled, raised his horsewhip, and said to the generals on the left and right while pointing to the woodland: "It is said that the An people will not fight, this is true, if the An people set up an ambush on the peaks on both sides of the Great Black Valley, even if there are no large weapons, if our army wants to force through, it will not be easy, but the An army just gave up the dangerous place and chose to set up an ambush in such a low-lying forest, which is extremely ridiculous."
The surrounding generals were also happy, and they all said: "Yes, I really don't know what is going on in the head of the commander of the An army."
"A commander like this, if he is in our army, he will have to be pulled out and cut off his head, haha" "I think the idea of the An army to set up an ambush in the forest is good, anyway, they can't defeat our army, and setting up an ambush in the forest is also conducive to their defeat and escape."
"Haha" The wind generals burst into laughter, and just as they were doing their best to mock them, suddenly, someone in the crowd of soldiers shouted: "Not good, there are ambushes on the mountain" This voice startled everyone present, and Ye Tang subconsciously turned the horse's head and turned around to look up.
I saw countless large grass balls rolling down the hillside on the left side of the road.
Each of these balls is one and a half tall and does not make a loud noise when they tumble, but they are surprisingly fast, and there are thousands of them.
Seeing this, Ye Tang's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "Deploy the whole army."
The officers and men of the Ninth Army also wanted to set up a formation, but how could they arrange a formation on the mountain road, and for a while, people's shouts came and went, and the scene was chaotic.
Ye Tang soon realized that he couldn't set up a formation, he immediately changed his order and shouted loudly: "Brothers, go full speed, rush over with me" As he spoke, he slapped his horse's buttocks and galloped forward with all his might.
But he had not gone far when he heard a loud bang on the top of the mountain in front of him, and then smoke billowed from the peak, and countless rocks rolled down, completely blocking the road on the side.
Oh, Ye Tang secretly screamed badly, and at this time, the grass balls rolling down from the mountain had already arrived.
Hearing the screams of the ranks of the Ninth Army, countless soldiers were slammed off their horses by the grass balls and rolled to the ground.
The grass ball is not hard, and it can't hit people, but the armor of the heavy cavalry is too heavy, and once you fall off the horse, it is impossible to get back on the horse by your own strength.
At this time, looking at the second and third corps of the Ninth Army on the mountain road, 20,000 soldiers, some on horses, some under horses, the scene can not be described as chaos.
Ye Tang shook his head secretly, it was not a way to go on like this, he ordered continuously, first, to let the first corps that entered the dense forest withdraw immediately, and secondly, to order the second and third corps, the rear team to change to the front team, and all of them ran back.
As soon as his order was delivered, the second round of grass balls on the hillside rolled down again, but this time the grass balls were all in flames, and the grass balls were like huge fireballs rolling down the hillside.
This time, Ye Tang was shocked into a cold sweat.
He almost screamed and shouted: "Retreat, the whole army retreats at full speed" Unfortunately, the chaotic Second and Third Corps were no longer able to respond quickly, and a large number of soldiers were blocked in the middle of the road, in a dilemma.
The fireballs rolling down the hillside did not wait for anyone, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the crowd of the Ninth Army, and these burning grass balls and the first wave of grass balls collided together, and they were on fire together, and in a moment, the entire mountain road was turned into a sea of fire.
The soldiers of the Ninth Army are not afraid of heaven and earth, but they can not afford the fire attack, and on the mountain road, there are heart-rending screams of people everywhere, and the heavy armor of many soldiers is burned red by the fire, and the people inside are burned alive The Ninth Army had never experienced such a situation, and even Ye Tang was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The surrounding generals gathered around and stepped forward, while protecting Ye Tang, they shouted loudly: "General, what should we do now, hurry up and get an idea."
The roar of everyone made Ye Tang come back to his senses, now he can't rush out, he can't retreat, he pondered for a moment, and said urgently: "Retreat to the woodland on the side of the road and quickly pass the order, let the brothers retreat into the forest" The trees can block the fireballs, and as long as your soldiers retreat into the woodland, they can avoid enemy fire.
Ye Tang was right, but he forgot that there were ambushes of the An army in the forest According to Ye Tang's order, the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Corps all retreated into the woods and joined the 1st Corps.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the Anjun army that had fled before suddenly counterattacked, and the soldiers of the Ninth Army led by Ye Tang hurriedly met the battle and fought with them in one place.
Compared with the group of An'an troops that were defeated by the First Corps just now, it was as if they had changed people, and people poured out of the forest like a tidal wave, and one person was killed, and a group immediately rushed up from behind.
The most powerful thing about cavalry is its impact power, and once it loses its impact power, it is no different from infantry.
In the dense forest, there are trees and grass vines, where there is room for cavalry to charge, and where there can be a decent formation The officers and men of the Ninth Army were clumsy and slow-moving giant infantrymen, and as a result, their horses became the main targets of the An'an army.
The An army obviously came prepared, not attacking the knights on the horses, but focusing on the legs of the horses, and using the same set that Tang Yin used to deal with the Bessa heavy cavalry on the heavy cavalry of the Wind Country.
Of course, they don't know Tang Yin's ground hob, and the technique of cutting the horse's legs is far less skilled than the original Plains Army, so they can't deal with the heavy cavalry in the gallop, but they don't need so many skills and skills to deal with the heavy cavalry who can't move.
As the horses were cut down one by one, the cavalry on the horses also fell to the ground, and at this time, the An army rushed up and hacked them to death.
The fierce and planned counterattack of the An army caught the Ninth Army by surprise, and the three corps lost thousands of horsemen in the blink of an eye.

Ye Tang shouted while slashing at the oncoming An army on his horse: "Retreat and retreat the way you came" The soldiers below also knew that this battle could not be fought anymore, but it was not easy to retreat in the forest Now the speed of the hoplites is not as fast as the infantry, they are chased and beaten by others, and the soldiers keep falling off their horses, and they don't even have a chance to get up again and fight, so they die under the chaotic blades of the An army that pounced on them.
It can be said that in this big battle in the jungle, the Ninth Army fell into passivity from the beginning, and when it fought to the back, it no longer had any power to fight back.
Of the 30,000 cavalry, only about 10,000 remained, all gathered in a small woodland, surrounded by the Ann Legion
