The sky was getting darker, and the two cavalry teams bit tightly and rushed into the depths of Yimeng Mountain.
I have to say that Yang Yan's return shot played a major role, and whenever the pursuers were too close, he almost shot off his horse, and even entered the mountain, because the mountain road was not wide, and it was difficult to accommodate too many cavalry in parallel, and the advantage of returning to shoot back was more obvious, and it was difficult to get close within a hundred zhang.
And Yang Yan's body and archery skills are becoming more and more proficient in continuous actual combat, at the beginning, he must shoot arrows within two seconds of turning back, but after shooting dozens of Zhao Qi, the time to turn back can reach up to five seconds.
Don't underestimate these few seconds, which can allow Yang Yan to aim more accurately and fully observe the rear.
Shi Zhan was also shocked by Yang Yan's hand, when he suppressed the car formation with cavalry shooting before, only dozens of horsemen died, but with the four horsemen who began to be killed by Yang Yan, there were nearly thirty cavalry who died in the hands of this person You must know that what Shi Zhan brought out was Shi Hu's Chinese military guard, and in terms of elite, at least in terms of experience, it is stronger than Shi Le's guards, after all, Shi Le called the king of Zhao, so he can't fight at will, since Shi Hu was awarded the military governor last year, the military power of Zhao has been transferred to Shi Hu to a considerable extent.
I thought that it would be a sure thing to capture Xun Guan with three times the number of troops, but the boiled duck flew away, and the damage was so huge, Shi Zhan's heart became irritable.
"General, there is Maling Mountain in front" At this moment, one of the attendants pointed forward.
Shi Zhan was taken aback.
The famous battle of Qi Wei Maling took place here, Sun Bin lured the Wei army into the Maling Ancient Road with the strategy of reducing the stove, and lured the Wei army into the Maling Ancient Road, which was broken, Pang Juan was shot on the spot, and now he chased Xun Guan and followed up the Maling Ancient Road, and it was also night.
Looking at the path ahead, the ground is full of gravel, the woods on both sides are deep, and the sound of horses' hooves is faintly heard.
"General, do you want to chase it anymore" Another rider beside him asked urgently.
Shi Zhan raised his spirit and smiled coldly: "Even if Ma Lingdao is not Pang Juan, Xun Guan is even more unlikely to be Sun Bin, and she is being chased by our army, in a hurry, how can she preset an ambush."
Chase, continue to chase, we have two horses, she only has one, when she can not bear the horsepower, she will stop fighting with me, now pass my command, each soldier will eat at once" "No" Zhao Jun took out dry cakes from his bag, took a water bag, and ate and drank a mouthful of bread and water.
Shi Zhan is right, two horses do have incomparable advantages over one horse, after running for so long, Xun Jiajun's horses are almost unbearable, and even some horses are breathing, they snort and spew white gas, which is obviously physical overdraft to the limit, and if you force it, it is very likely to die on the way.
What's even worse is that Concubine Pei couldn't bear it anymore, her face was pale, her breath was weak, and she hung softly in Xun Hua's arms.
"Girl, the princess has run out of oil, do you want to rest?"
Xun Hua turned his head and asked.
Concubine Pei barely raised her head, opened her half-squinted eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, her head drooped, and she shrank into Xun Hua's arms.
Xun Guan hurriedly said: "Princess, if you insist, I'll go to the back to see the situation first." ” The rear formation was completely presided over by Yang Yan and Xun Hu, don't look at the cavalry team of only more than 200 people, but the mountain road was rugged, and the front was not clear about the situation behind, Xun Guan rode his horse to the side, slowly stopped, and after a while, Yang Yan and Xun Hu came up.
Xun Guan drove the horse to run again, and then said: "Concubine Pei's situation is not good, the horses have also reached the limit, can you rest on the spot?"
Yang Yan looked back, and said: "It's okay to rest, but you can't be in a hurry, please give the girl an order, and continue to run forward for a few miles with more than 100 horsemen in the front team, so as not to be heard by Shi Zhan that our army dismounted, and did not dare to step forward, the rear team immediately climbed the slopes on both sides, shot arrows according to the trees, and killed one by one, first block Shi Zhan, and then make the next step according to the situation." “ Xun Guan and Xun Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, don't look at Yang Yan's proposal is simple, but it is the best decision in line with the current situation, especially if it is made in a hurry, it can only show that this person is calm and calm, and he is not panicked because of the pursuers behind.
And Yang Yan is very natural when he speaks, giving people a feeling of giving orders.
That's right, this is a habit that Yang Yan has developed on the operating table, as soon as his hand is raised, a look is an order, and the nurse will provide the required instruments, from the moment Shi Zhan suddenly appeared, his state of mind naturally fell into the state of the operating table.
The current predicament is nothing more than a more complicated operation for him, and there are thousands of things to do, but there is always a context to be found, that is, there are no reinforcements on both sides, and one is dead, so he only needs to eliminate Shi Zhan's living force as much as possible, gradually flatten the gap in strength between the two sides, and look for opportunities to turn defeat into victory.
Xun Guan turned his head and said, "Xun Hu, you go and give orders" "No" Xun Hu sped up the speed of the horse and passed it one by one.
All the knights who received the order were to pull the reins of the horse, lower the horse quickly, and then fly off the horse, pat the horse's buttocks, let the horse run forward, and then climb the slopes on both sides, stretch the bow and arrows, and wait for Zhao Jun.
Yang Yan and Xun Guan also dismounted one step earlier, and ran on both sides respectively, and the knights who dismounted quickly rushed to converge.
When a dozen or so people gathered around the two, Yang Yan and Xun Guan shouted at the same time On both sides of the hillside, each more than ten feather arrows shot down, the rider with arrows, directly fell from the horse, the horse was hit by the arrow, neighed and stood up, threw the knight on the horse down, and in an instant the person turned over on his back, actually blocked the mountain road, the knight behind could not control the horse, rushed up, knocked to the ground.
Only this round of volleys, more than 30 horsemen were overturned, but as Shi Hu's Chinese army guards, they did not panic because of the sudden attack, and the rear horses dismounted one after another, and there were special people to shoot arrows on both sides, covering their companions to climb the hillside, leaning on the trees to shoot arrows to the opposite side.
More than 20 lives were lost, and the unfavorable situation was finally reversed.
Shi Zhan, who fell in the back formation, also abandoned his horse and went uphill, looking ahead with a pale face.
Both sides use the woods as cover, it is difficult to shoot each other again, the arrows are gradually thinning out, and due to the complex terrain, their numerical advantage is also offset to the greatest extent, if they force an attack, even if they can attack it, they will inevitably pay a painful price, which he can't afford, unless he can capture Xun Guan, otherwise Shi Hu will pick his skin "You can know who that good shooter is" Shi Zhan had a hunch that the reason why the battle was fought like this was mostly related to Yang Yan, so he turned his head and asked.
"This" A subordinate hesitated: "Why don't you ask?"
Shi Zhan nodded slightly.
Usually the surrender will have a psychological characteristic, because the experience of surrender is consciously inferior, will break the jar and fall, intensify the persecution of the members of the original camp, and will also be keen to encourage others to surrender, so that everyone has surrendered, no one is nobler than the other, and can get considerable psychological satisfaction.
Shi Zhan had the idea of descending Yang Yan.
The subordinate asked loudly: "Does the young shooter on the other side dare to report his name?"
"Hahahaha" A burst of laughter rose up to the sky: "Ran Liang, you recognize the thief as your father, the slave is raised, because of the false position, the ancestor betrays the ancestor, acts of murder, cuts off the Yuanyuan, the five poisons are prepared, the greed is cruel and fierce, the lizard is the heart, the jackal is a wolf, the evil is close to the evil, the cruelty of the same clan, the anger of people and gods, the intolerance of heaven and earth, how dare the generations dare to ask my name and surname, I am ashamed to tell it":
