Chapter 323: serial ambush
Ye Anlan and the others, who had already sewed their pockets, waited in ambush for another cup of tea, and the barbarian army of less than 3,000 people finally ran panting to the only way they had to pass—Swallow Valley.
The leader of the Hu people chattered in a foreign language that Ye Anlan couldn't understand at all, to the effect that, warriors, hold on, we must grab the mount before the reinforcements from the Dingbei Army rush over.
Only with mounts can the mobility of the team be ensured. Otherwise, no matter how strong they are, they can't run as fast as four-legged horses, can they?
The Hu soldiers surrounding the Hu general raised their arms high, chattering that they were okay and could run another two hundred miles.
Ye Anlan couldn't understand what they were saying, and of course, she didn't need to understand either.
She just needs to accurately judge who is the leader of this group of barbarians, and then give him a one-way ticket to the Palace of the King of Hell.
Poking her head out from behind the boulder she was hiding in, Ye Anlan used 90% of her internal strength to throw a long spear with a flick of her hand.
The spear pierced the barbarian general's shoulder when he was completely unprepared. At the same time, the Ye family troops hiding on both sides of the Swallow Valley shot arrows or pushed stones down the mountain one after another.
Arrows were like rain, piercing the Hu soldiers densely, while stones rolled down, preventing the Hu soldiers from hiding at the foot of the mountains on both sides.
The general of the Hu people yelled that there was an ambush, and then took the lead in rushing towards the direction of the valley.
It wasn't that he was stunned and didn't know that returning the same way would be faster, but that he didn't want to be blocked by soldiers of the Dingbei Army on the wasteland to the west of Swallow Valley.
The Hu soldiers who could run and jump gritted their teeth to keep up, surrounded the Hu people and ran towards Song Wei.
Song Wei was leading people to hide in a place a little further away. At the moment when the barbarians rushed out of the valley, he waved his hand to signal the Dingbei Army officers in charge of the mechanism to cut off the rope.
Swipe down a few times, and the sharpened thick branches, surrounded by the sound of the wind, pierced towards the Hu soldiers who had just escaped in embarrassment.
Some Hu soldiers couldn't react in time, they were directly stabbed in the vital points, and lost their lives. Before the rest of the Hu soldiers had time to feel thankful for their cleverness, on both sides of their team, there were soldiers full of spikes. The board flew over whistling.
The Hu soldiers on both sides of the team were stabbed to one side of the body. Those who were lucky only injured their arms, and those who were unlucky directly injured their heads or necks.
The barbarian general, already covered in blood and wounds, was about to greet his remaining more than a thousand subordinates to rush forward, when a long spear from behind him slanted into his right neck.
It turned out that Ye Anlan, who had chased after him, shot the Hu general in time, taking advantage of the fact that the Hu general was in a hurry and had no time to look after him.
This time, the barbarian general failed to evade Ye Anlan's deliberate plot at the last moment. He fell forward to the ground, eyes wide open, and swallowed his last breath amidst the shouts of other barbarian soldiers.
After his death, the remaining soldiers of the Hu people immediately rioted.
A strong man with beards shouted something in the rioting crowd, and the other barbarian soldiers around him rushed forward in groups of three or four.
They want to rush across this section of the road and enter the area without agencies to fight the Dingbei Army.
However, a moment later, the "land" under their feet suddenly cracked due to the load-bearing limit.
The Hu soldiers who lost their balance fell into the deep pits dug by Song Wei one after another like they were scrambling for dumplings.
In the pit, sharpened wooden sticks were stuck upside down on the ground, and those Hu soldiers who fell into the pit all suffered or died because of this without exception.
The living Hu soldiers wanted to climb out immediately, but the depth of the pit gave them no chance.
"Fire the arrow!" Song Wei, who was waiting for this scene, waved his hand, and an archer immediately started shooting arrows condescendingly.
After a while, all the barbarians in the pit were completely dead.
Those Hu people who were lucky enough not to fall into the pit had no time to rescue them, because they were not completely free from any trouble at this time.
At the same time that their companions fell into the pit, on the short hills on both sides of the Swallow Valley, the Ye family army launched a fierce attack on the surviving more than 700 Hu soldiers.
Ye Anlan first asked the archers in the team to shoot a wave of arrows, and then rushed down the mountain first, and began to chop those Hu soldiers who were not hit by the arrows.
Hu people have always been proud of their single-handed combat power. Seeing the little Ye Anlan rushing towards them without fear of death, the surviving Hu people suddenly showed a fierce look on their faces.
They brandished their weapons and rushed towards Ye Anlan, but Ye Anlan gave him a good meal.
These barbarian soldiers are stupid.
No, it’s not right, aren’t the Central Plains people all little chicks with thin arms and legs and little strength?
Why is this little chick with slender arms and legs, but his strength is several times stronger than those warriors on the grassland?
Ye Anlan didn't know what these Hu soldiers were thinking. She took her personal guards and quickly killed the remaining Hu soldiers who were not superior in numbers and strength.
At the same time, Li Jing, who was guarding the other side, also brought Xie Jiajun back.
When Ye Anlan was busy beheading the vital forces of the enemy army, he would lead people to clean up the battlefield, or kill or capture those Hu soldiers who had been shot by bows and arrows or hit by stones, but had not yet died.
The captives were interrogated by Song Wei and the others, so the ones kept were well-armored and seemed to be of higher status.
Excluding those who would rather die than be prisoners, and chose to commit suicide before being caught, Li Jing captured a total of seven generals in the barbarian team.
He asked a small group of Xie Jiajun to take these people to the side for custody, and then he personally led people to the valley to move stones and pick up intact arrows.
He also thought of Song Wei. When Ye Anlan led people to kill the enemy, he also started to clean the battlefield from the other end.
First of all, the traps they made, they had to dismantle them and fill them up as soon as possible, so as not to hurt ordinary people and their comrades, and then they had to dig a big hole for the enemy corpses in the valley and in the traps All buried, so as not to pollute the environment after decay.
When they finish these two things, Li Jing has already moved all the stones in Swallow Valley.
He had people return the arrows that were still in good condition to Ye Jiajun, and for the broken ones, he had people recycle the parts made of metal, and incinerate the parts made of wood on the spot.
They were busy dealing with the follow-up matters. When they saw the soldiers of the Dingbei Army on the watchtower, they found the comrades guarding the watchtower to find out the whereabouts of the Hu people, and immediately rushed over on horseback. .
