Chapter 376
Dark valley without a hint of moonlight.
Wang Ping hid behind a large tree, his eyes sometimes fixed on the valley below, sometimes at the mouth of the valley in the distance, and sometimes at the side of him.
In the silent night, even the voice of the summer worm seemed to be inaudible, and the 10,000 army was well hidden, and there was no clue in sight.
But Wang Ping was faintly anxious in his heart, according to the time, King Duosi should have arrived here a long time ago, but why hasn't there been any news.
Even if he took another road, the two places were separated and not particularly far away, as long as Li Yan's side fought a big battle, then he would definitely be able to hear the movement. Many scouts were arranged among them to facilitate communication with each other.
But it's also very quiet.
During this time, Wang Ping had already explored many situations, and King Dosi had been resting during the day and marching at night, so now was the time for them to march.
"General, they are coming!" At this time, Zhou Cang came over and whispered in Wang Ping's ear.
"Where?" Wang Ping looked towards the valley entrance and found no clues.
"General, there are night birds flying into the air one after another, the last general has been a thief before, and he has also ambushed at night, this situation shows that someone has come, and there are quite a few of them." Zhou Cang explained.
Wang Ping listened carefully, and sure enough, birds occasionally chirped in the night sky, and the branches in the distance swayed a little.
"Zhou Cang, order the soldiers to put their arrows on the strings, get ready!" Wang Ping immediately ordered.
"No!" The order was quickly passed on.
Although they did not have crossbows, they had two thousand crossbowmen, distributed on both sides of the valley, and the other side was commanded by Liao Hua.
In a short time, the black-pressed crowd poured into the valley, although it was not clear to see, but Wang Ping, with his past experience, could conclude that there were indeed five thousand soldiers and horses below.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the five thousand soldiers and horses gradually entered their ambush circle.
"Drop the arrow!" Suddenly Wang Ping shouted.
Countless torches were lit, and the valley suddenly became as bright as day, and dense arrows poured down like a rainstorm.
"Ah..."
The barbarians in the valley let out a scream, and a round of arrows fell, and hundreds of people fell.
Others were like headless flies scrambling around, but wherever they ran, they were greeted with arrows, throwing guns, and rolling wood thunder stones.
Those barbarians simply did not have a chance to fight back, they did not even know where the people who shot them were hiding.
King Dosi's poisonous arrows are powerful, Wang Ping knows, so he does not dare to be careless, next to the archer is layers of shields, because once the opponent's poisonous arrows are shot, as long as they touch the body, they will definitely die, and there is also the terrible poisonous gas in the shaft.
Therefore, Wang Ping ordered these shieldmen to throw the shield down the valley along with the shield if the opponent's poisoned arrow hit the shield.
As the shield man waited nervously, not a single arrow came up.
After about half an hour, the battle was over, and there were no living barbarians in the valley.
Wang Ping, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua led the soldiers and carried torches to the valley.
"Find the body of King Dosi!"
"No!"
The soldiers searched for a while, but did not see King Doss.
"General Chancellor, we have rummaged through almost all the corpses, all of them barbarian soldiers, not wearing the clothes of the chief!" A thousand-year-old newspaper said.
"No King Doss?" Wang Ping was taken aback, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong.
"General, we fought this battle too smoothly!" Liao Hua said suddenly.
"That's
right, King Dosi is known as the first wise man in Nanzhong, and the five thousand barbarians under his command are the elite of the barbarians, and they all have poisonous arrows that cannot be prevented." Although we prepared an ambush in advance, they didn't seem to have any resistance, and their combat power was too weak. Liao Hua explained.
"Yes!" Wang Ping frowned, he felt that something was wrong just now, now he figured it out, it was this barbarian team, there was no resistance, and no poisoned arrow came up, "Quick, check their weapons!"
"General, they carry only knives and guns, no poisoned arrows, not even crossbowmen!" Zhou Cang examined several corpses in a row and said in amazement.
"General, we didn't find poisoned arrows either!" Several thousand-year-olds said almost simultaneously.
"It's not good, it's calculated, this is not King Dosi!" Wang Ping suddenly realized.
"General be careful!" Zhou Cang suddenly exclaimed, and at the same time the big knife in his hand shook, and an arrow that flew towards Wang Ping was cut in two by him.
"Ah..." Several soldiers let out screams one after another, only to see them fall to the ground with arrows.
"Shield hand, quick, prepare to meet the enemy!" Wang Ping roared, he understood that now it was King Duosi, who was really here.
"General, retreat quickly, poisonous gas..." Zhou Cang suddenly said in a hoarse voice.
When Wang Ping looked at it, he was surprised to find that he saw that Zhou Cang's two nostrils were bleeding outward, and his face was black, and his eyes seemed to be wider.
At this time, the shield hand had already lined up the formation, and although many arrows were blocked, one after another, some soldiers fell, and the symptoms were the same as Zhou Cang.
"General, you are quick... Quickly retreat, I'll break the back..." said Zhou Cang intermittently.
"No, Yuanfu, you withdraw first, I will block the barbarians." Wang Pingjiang waved the big knife in his hand, "Crossbowman, release the arrow quickly!"
"General, we are in the light, they are in the dark!" Liao Hua looked around and said.
"Throw the torches here and pull back!" Wang Ping concentrated his wisdom, because now the other party is hiding in the shadows, they can't even see the figure, but the other party keeps shooting them, and it is poisonous. Throw the torches here, and after withdrawing a certain distance, the barbarians must show up if they want to catch up.
The soldiers carried Zhou Cang in the front and withdrew, Wang Ping in the middle, Liao Hua in the rear, and withdrew more than a dozen zhang away, and when they reached the mouth of the valley, they stopped.
"Array on the spot, crossbowmen get ready." While Wang Ping gave the order, he probably counted the number of people, and when the two sides clashed just now, they actually lost nearly a thousand soldiers, which made Wang Ping annoyed and painful.
"Wha-" A ghostly crying wolf-like voice came out, which made people listen creepy, and then a pair of brutes appeared in the fire, and saw them wearing animal skins, and on their heads were hoods of tigers, leopards and jackals, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and carrying machetes around their waists, and rushed over with strange screams.
While rushing and throwing arrows at this side, and they don't care if the arrows can reach the Han soldiers?
"General, they are gassing!" Liao Hua's voice was full of panic.
"Hurry up and release the arrows!" Wang Ping shouted.
However, the Han crossbowmen only shot some arrows sporadically, and occasionally barbarian soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
And on the side of the Han army, soldiers kept falling.
