Chapter 939 The boulder tumbled down the hillside from the top of the mountain, which was extremely miserable for the Sichuan army who were climbing up the mountain.
The high-speed update 78 boulders crushed the Sichuan soldiers, roaring past, leaving shocking blood marks on the hillside, and countless Sichuan soldiers could not even find the completed corpses, turning into a mess of meat and mud.
The 80,000 Sichuan army under the personal command of Yang Zhao launched a strong onslaught on the left peak of the Hukou Stream, but after more than an hour, none of the Sichuan army could attack the top of the mountain.
Xiao Xuan, who was watching the battle, also realized that Yang Zhao's attack was unfavorable, so he hurriedly dispatched troops to attack the right forward of Hukou Stream.
In his opinion, since the left peak of the Hukou Stream resisted so fiercely, then the main force of the Shenchi must be here, and the empty peak on the right side is a good opportunity for his own side to take advantage of the void.
But in fact, it was not so much back to the division at all, when the Sichuan army launched an attack on the right peak of the Hukou Stream, it was still attacked by the fierce counterattack of the Shenchi personnel who occupied the peak, and the soldiers rushed up in a wave, fell in a wave, and even suffered faster and heavier casualties than the left peak.
This made Xiao Xuan lose his mind, only a few thousand Shenchi personnel, but his own hundreds of thousands of troops were helpless, how could it be so difficult to fight, could it be that all the people in Shenchi were gods Just as he was thinking hard about how to break the enemy, the left flank of the Sichuan army camp suddenly became chaotic, Xiao Xuan didn't know what was going on, frowned and looked at the left flank for a moment, and said to one of the guards beside him: "Go and see, what's going on on the left flank" "Yes," the guard replied, urging the horse to gallop out.
After a short time, the guards returned, and at the same time brought back a Sichuan soldier with crooked armor, and when the soldier arrived near Xiao Xuan, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and intervened: "Report to the king, the big thing is not good, the left flank of our army has been attacked by the enemy."
"What" Xiao Xuan's eyes widened, where did the enemy come from, aren't the enemy troops all on the mountain of Hukou Stream, why did they suddenly run to the left flank of their own side He stared at the Sichuan soldier for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there in the enemy army?"
"There are hundreds, and it seems like there are thousands of people" Xiao Xuan's nose was almost crooked when he heard this, and he shouted: "Is it hundreds or thousands?"
"The villain, the villain doesn't know" "Go down" Xiao Xuan drank the soldiers who reported the news back, and then looked at the generals on the left and right, and asked: "Tell me generals, where did the enemy who sneaked up on the left flank of our army come from?"
"King, since the general of the Left Army has sent someone to report to the king, the enemy must be very difficult to attack, and the king should send troops to help as soon as possible," General Lu You said.
Xiao Xuan nodded and said to Lu You: "Lu You, you select 20,000 cavalry from the Chinese army, and quickly rush to the left flank to reinforce, once you encounter an incoming enemy, you must kill them all, and leave no one behind."
"The last general obeys the order," Lu You took the order and turned his horse away.
The speed at which he led his troops to the left flank was fast enough, but it was still a step too late, and at this moment, Xu Zheng, the general of the left army, had been killed by the sneak attackers in the chaos.
In fact, the number of these sneak attack Shenchi personnel is not large, only two or three hundred people, all of them are armed with spirit swords.
They are all disciples from the Shenchi Sword Vein line, and their status in Shenchi is also very ordinary, but their Lingwu is not weak, and their cultivation is basically above the Lingyuan Realm, only two or three hundred people dare to rush into the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Sichuan State, and they were really attacked by them, and in one fell swoop, the generals of the left wing of the Sichuan Army were killed among the many Sichuan troops, which can be said to have taken the head of the enemy general in the chaos of the army.
When Lu You, who arrived in the city, learned of the situation on the left side of the army, he was furious and led 20,000 cavalry to rush over.
He came into contact with the attacking Shenchi personnel, and a fierce battle ensued.
These two or three hundred Shenchi disciples are very powerful, but they can't compete head-on with tens of thousands of cavalry, and there are more and more Sichuan troops gathered around, for fear that it will be difficult to get out of the siege, and the leader shouted loudly: "Withdraw" As soon as he gave the order, the Shenchi personnel who were sneaking up on the attack immediately changed from the rear team to the front team and began to break through outward.
It was easy for them to rush in, it was to catch the Sichuan army off guard, and now they want to withdraw, but it's not so simple, the dense Sichuan army surrounded them with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water couldn't be leaked, even if these Shenchi personnel rushed desperately to kill, there were not many who escaped from the Sichuan army camp in the end, and most of them died in the chaos.
Lu You led the crowd to clear the Shenchi personnel who were sneaking up, but the Sichuan army also paid the price of the death of Xu Zheng, the general of the left army, and the news was transmitted back to Xiao Xuan, who couldn't help but raise his hand and gently tap his aching forehead.
Although Lu You successfully withstood this wave of Shenchi's sneak attack, Xiao Xuan was not happy at all, first, the general Xu Zheng was lost, and second, he didn't know how many ambushes there were on the Shenchi side waiting for his own soldiers, and if there was a second, third, or even more Shenchi dead soldiers who were ready, they would launch a fatal blow to their side at any time.
Hukou Stream can no longer be attacked, otherwise your own losses will only get bigger and bigger.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan gave the order to go down, and the whole army suspended the offensive and withdrew.
This offensive and defensive battle between the Sichuan army and the Shenchi personnel in Hukou Stream finally ended with the Sichuan army's active retreat.
Subsequently, the Sichuan army set up camp in an open area five miles away from Hukou Stream.
After this day's fierce battle, Xiao Xuan realized that Hukou Jian was far from being as easy to fight as he imagined, and he ordered all the soldiers of the army not to rush into battle without his permission.
The Sichuan army did not come out, and the Shenchi side would not take the initiative to go down the mountain to confront the Sichuan army, and the two sides were waiting on the mountain while stationing at the foot of the mountain, and the battle situation was in a stalemate.
When Tang Yin and Xia Yao rushed from Qiankun Mountain to the area of Hukou Stream, this was the situation.
If you want to enter the hinterland of Shenchi from the south, you must go through the Hukou Stream, and similarly, if you want to go from the hinterland of Shenchi to the south, you must also go through the Hukou Stream.
Now, Tang Yin didn't know anything about the battle that was taking place on Hukou Stream, and he didn't know that in the two days since he left the Fengying camp, the two armies of Fengchuan had both invaded the territory of Shenchi.
On this morning, Tang Yin and Xia Yao arrived at Hukou Stream.
He raised his eyes and looked at the Hukou Stream in the distance, and said to himself: "What a dangerous place, if anyone occupies the peaks on both sides of this canyon, it will be difficult for the enemy to pass through it." ” Xia Yao shook her head and smiled helplessly, feeling that Tang Yin seemed to be thinking about the war anytime and anywhere.
The two of them walked quickly towards Hukou Stream, and the closer they got to the valley, the tighter Tang Yin's brows wrinkled, and at the same time subconsciously raised his hand and clasped Xia Yao's arm.
She looked at him puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Your Highness" In the past two days, she has more or less understanding of Tang Yin, Tang Yin is not a decent gentleman, but he is not a lewd ruffian who covets women, if it is not forced by the situation, he will not be close to her, and has close physical contact with her.
"Here, it seems that something is wrong" Tang Yin didn't look at her, his eyes kept sweeping up and down, inside and outside the tiger's mouth.
Hearing his words, Xia Yao immediately became nervous, and hurriedly looked forward, the tiger's mouth was quiet, there was no sound, and it was empty, she couldn't even see a personal shadow, she didn't feel anything wrong.
She asked, "Your Highness thinks something is wrong?"
"It smells of blood, and it seems like there was a battle here."
There were no corpses, and there were no traces of blood, but the smell of blood wafted over, indicating that the battlefield was still far away from here, and it also showed that the scale of the battlefield was very large, and many people were killed and wounded.
But Tang Yin couldn't figure out who would fight here in Hukou Stream, Fengchuan and the two armies were stationed at the border of Shenchi, and they wouldn't come here, could it be the infighting between the people of Shenchi, which was unreasonable.
He couldn't figure it out.
As he got closer and closer to the tiger's mouth, Tang Yin's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, the blood flow accelerated, and every nerve and cell in his body was contracting, which was a natural reaction to perceive the murderous aura.
"There's an ambush here."

Tang Yin grabbed Xia Yao's wrist, slowed down, and said in a low voice at the same time.
"Could it be that Elder Nie has set up an ambush here," Xia Yao exclaimed.
Tang Yin shook his head and said quietly: "It doesn't seem to be coming for us.
"He can feel the existence of murderous energy, he relies on intuition, and he feels that the murderous energy is not coming at him, it also depends on his intuition.
If there is indeed an ambush in the Hukou Stream, then the person who is in ambush now must have seen him and Xia Yao, if he and Xia Yao do not continue to move forward, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the other party, even if the other party is not coming for him, he may have to find the door.
Of course, if he and Xia Yao continued to move forward, there was also a danger of falling into the encirclement of the other party.
Tang Yin's mind was spinning rapidly, and between thoughts, he and Xia Yao had already walked to the entrance of the Tiger Mouth Stream.
Xia Yao had no idea, so she could only turn her head to look at Tang Yin and wait for his decision.
The latter hesitated for a moment and whispered to Xia Yao, "Go." ” He pulled Xia Yao forward and whispered, "Come to think of it, there shouldn't be many people who have seen your true face in Shenchi."
She nodded and whispered, "It's not that only the Holy King and the Great Elder have seen it. ” "That's good."
Tang Yin nodded, and his mind calmed down a little.
When the two of them were about to reach the middle of the Hukou Stream, they suddenly heard a broken shout from above their heads: "Stop" With the voice, several people jumped down from the mountain walls on both sides of the Hukou Stream.
Dressed in gray robes and gray cloaks on their backs, these men were clinging to the mountain wall, almost blending into it, making it difficult to detect their presence even if you looked closely.
"What person" Several gray-clothed people blocked Tang Yin and Xia Yao's way, their eyes were like electricity, sweeping around the faces of the two of them. gtvidt:
