I Heard I've Been Dead For Thousand Years

Chapter 793 - Fake or Real

Zhou Tong's 100,000-odd defenders were now faced with cliffs on both sides, blocked in front and back, and a rain of arrows coming from above, from front and back, so it could be said that there was no way to get to heaven or earth.

Especially when Zhou Tong saw the black silhouettes on the cliff made up of scarecrows and real people, he became even more panicked.

"No good! The intel was wrong, our ambush was eaten! They have at least 10,000 people on the cliff!"

Almost in an instant, more than 3,000 of Zhou Tong's 100,000-strong army stationed in Huang Yangkou died, and the number of soldiers who died in the rain of arrows was counted in the hundreds with every breath.

This was not the most frightening thing; the most frightening thing was the sudden rain of arrows and the counter-ambush, which caused the morale of Zhou Tong's army of over 100,000 soldiers to fall into disarray, and the scene was chaotic, with every soldier panicking and trying to run for his life.

Zhou Tong's lieutenant general, while raising his shield and swinging his sword to block the rain of arrows, shouted at Zhou Tong.

"General! Let's break out! There are only 3,000 men in the front and back, but we have over 100,000 soldiers! There is absolutely no problem rushing out!"

Zhou Tong cursed at the words.

"Bastard! Look at the morale of our army at the moment, where we can still organize more than 100,000 people, at most less than 100,000 people can follow the breakthrough, and when we get to them how many people will be left to die!"

"Our intelligence is inherently wrong, so what if the other side has ambushed a bigger pocket outside the valley, just to use this situation to lure us into a bigger ambush with 3,000 people each before and after!"

The lieutenant general became anxious in this situation and shouted at Zhou Tong.

"Yes! You're the master general and we all listen to you, so what's your idea! Are you going to let us all be shot to death!"

Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, then ordered with a gesture of his hand.

"Immediately and urgently alert Old General Zhao for help! Everyone gather on both sides of the cliff and build a shield wall with their backs against the cliff! They have only 6,000 men on either side of us, and they dare not come forward to meet us!"

This method was indeed an effective defense against the rain of arrows, but it also put Zhou Tong's army into absolute passivity.

The men sent by Zhou Yuan stopped the arrows and did not do that useless thing, and Zhou Tong's army was also turtled inside the shield wall, not daring to move or show their heads, and could only passively wait for rescue.

Zhou Tong's army was unable to move or even show their faces, so they had to wait for help. The news was quickly transmitted to Zhao Xun of Shaping Township by Zhou Tong's telegram.

"Report! Our intelligence was wrong, General Zhou Tong's garrison at Huang Yang Kou was ambushed and surrounded by at least 10,000 to 20,000 enemy soldiers, all of whom were amphibious soldiers. General Zhou ordered his men to build a shield wall with their backs against the cliff to defend and wait for the marshal's rescue!"

The messenger rushed into the house and reported to Zhao Xun and Ji Bang on one knee.

"What!"

Zhao Xun and Ji Bang both exclaimed in unison, rising up at the same time with extraordinary tacit understanding.

"Nearly 20,000 amphibious soldiers, is Long Huying sending the best of the allied forces from the four continents?"

Ji Bang hurriedly turned back to his teacher, Zhao, for advice.

The so-called amphibious soldiers, also known as all-around soldiers, were the cream of the crop, the best of the best, the best of the best.

These people hang long spears and long lances on their horses, carry long swords and big swords, and carry shields and bows and arrows. The upper horse was a cavalryman, who could charge forward or ride and shoot; the lower horse was an infantry, who could form a shield wall to defend; and the bow was a bowman, who could kill the enemy from a distance!

This kind of people can adapt to various battle environments and terrains, and can use a wider range of flexible battle strategies, and their numbers are much rarer. Among the 500,000 troops assembled by the Long Wei army? You can't even pick out five thousand people!

Zhao Xun did not reply? He just stared at the location of Huang Yangkou on the map in front of him and kept chewing a few words in his mouth.

"Anti-ambush, 20,000 men, amphibious soldiers, wrong information, shield wall defense......"

Zhao Xun read for a while and then suddenly changed his appearance and cursed.

"Zhou Tong, this loser has lost his mind! He knew the information was wrong and there was probably a bigger ambush outside the valley, but instead of taking a chance, he cowered inside the shield wall!

"God knows how many men the other side had ambushed outside the mouth of the boxwood.

Ji Bang knew the situation was urgent. It's a good idea to have a good team, but it's a good idea to have a good team, because it's a good idea to have a good team.

It's worth installing one, and it's even supported by Android and Apple phones!

"Teacher? What should I do? How many people to send to the rescue?"

Only the old general Zhou Tong angrily said.

"I knew Long Huying wouldn't be so foolish as to send 6,000 men to strike a stone with an egg? There really is a bigger plan behind it!"

"Go! Let Zhang Xing lead 100,000 men to rescue them, be sure to march at full speed? If you don't arrive before the opponent's army enters Huangyangkou and surrounds it, bring Zhou Tong and the hundred thousand men back to me, and Huangyangkou can be abandoned!"

"Here!"

The messenger gave a big clasp of the fist and hurried out to give the order.

Zhao Xun stared at the map in his room for a while longer, his eyebrows furrowed again, and he muttered in confusion.

"Strange, why does this battle art look so familiar to me?"

With a sad frown on his face, Zhao Xun took out a pipe and smoked it.

A long while later, Zhao Xun's hand shook and he dropped the pipe in his hand, looking panicked.

"What's wrong teacher?"

Ji Bang bent down and picked up his pipe and handed it to Zhao Xun, but Zhao Xun did not take it, panicking.

"Not good, not good! This is the serpent's mouth from the Daelung method of warfare! They will gather their troops and ambush them on the south side of Huangyang Pass, not to eat the defenders of Huangyang Pass, but to eat our reinforcements!"

The pipe that Ji Bang had just picked up in his hand dropped again with a loud bang.

In this way, not only did the Long Wei army lose 30% of its troops at Huang Yang Kou, but also the reinforcements, which would have eaten up a full 50% of its troops at once!

"Quick! You quickly go and send another 50,000 men to catch up with Zhang Xing, tell them to be on the lookout for ambushes, and make sure to win this battle, so it can be said that the outcome depends on this battle!"

When Zhao Xun gave Ji Bang a big push, Ji Bang hurriedly ran out of the door to summon him, and soon returned sweating profusely.

Zhao Xun was sitting at a table facing a map, swallowing clouds and fog with a sad frown, and the room was filled with white smoke.

As soon as Ji Bang entered the room, Zhao Xun asked Ji Bang the following question.

"Are you saying that the commander-in-chief ...... Long Huying sent out to lead the troops this time was really Zhao Fang, not that Zhou Yuan?"

Ji Bang sat down and took a sip of tea to rest his breath and then replied.

"According to the information, the one leading the troops was Zhao Fang, and there was no Zhou Yuan in the group.

Suddenly, Zhao Xun came to his senses and straightened his back.

"That's right! Zhao Fang is one of the subordinate army masters of the Changling Army of the Eastern Continent, and the commander-in-chief of the Changling Army is Zhou Yuan! I wondered why this person would use the snake trap in the Dalung Art of War, but it turned out that Zhou Yuan was behind it!"
