Chapter 182 Killing Yuan Youchun

The full moon hangs high and the night is slightly cool.

Han Wu hurriedly arrived outside Chen Mo's military tent, but was stopped by Liu Ze.

Han Wu said anxiously: "I have something important to ask the county magistrate."

"Then wait a moment and I'll report it." Liu Ze didn't dare to delay.

Just as he turned around, Chen Mo walked out of the military tent wearing a belt, frowned slightly and said, "What happened?"

Han Wu and Liu Ze immediately bowed and handed over their hands. The former said urgently: "County magistrate, the spies from ahead are reporting. Ten miles away, there are a number of people approaching us. The spies heard shouts of killing."

"What?!" Chen Mo's expression changed. Their sentry was deployed ten miles away. They were reporting for duty now. He was afraid that they were less than five miles away. He quickly ordered: "Wake up all the soldiers lying down and put out the torches." .”

"promise."

In the military tent, Xia Zhining also heard Han Wu's words. When Chen Mo came in, Xia Zhining had already put on her clothes and armor.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and said nothing. With her help, he put on the Mingguang Armor, took the Tang Dao, put the strong bow on his back, and the two of them walked out of the tent.

At this moment, the entire army was already standing in line in an orderly manner.

Unlike Chen Mo, the soldiers below all slept with their armor on, so they didn't have to pack anything when they got up.

"A man has a title in his honour, a horse has his hooves bound, come with me."

Chen Mo didn't say much. Counting the time, the other party was almost there.

The soldiers quickly took out a piece of wooden stick from their arms and bit it in their mouths. The few dozen horses had their hooves wrapped in linen cloth.

Chen Mo's army was stationed in the mountains, and below was the marching mountain road.

Chen Mo and his men quickly ambush on both sides of the mountain road.

After a while, a noise and a few sparse firelights came from not far away.

After Yuan Youchun broke out from Shanling Pass, he kept running back. If his horse died, he would replace it with another one. But even so, the Yuzhou Army behind him did not let him go and bit him tightly at the back.

Fortunately, Yuzhou is mountainous and the mountain roads are difficult to navigate. The speed of the cavalry has slowed down, allowing Yuan Youchun to escape a long way.

His losses were huge. There were more than [-] tiger troops, but after breaking out, there were less than [-] people.

In the process of escaping, most of them were killed or injured.

There are now less than 300 people still following him, and I don’t even know where to throw the banner.

The commander of the personal camp, Bai Kuan, who had been righted, was hit in the left shoulder. The wound was not treated in time. It was already inflamed, his face was pale, and he had no fighting ability.

"Damn it, where did that bastard Chen Mo's team go? They all ran away." Yuan Youchun looked back and cursed.

The Yuzhou army in the rear seemed to have bitten him to death. If no other army came to deal with it, he might not be able to escape.

"General, Chen Mo couldn't have led his troops to withdraw," Bai Sui said weakly.

"My dear, after escaping, I, the general, must sue him properly in front of Commander Qu. Come on."

Although the moonlight is bright, the visible range is not far away. Without the military flag, it is difficult for Chen Mo's army to distinguish who these soldiers are?
However, after getting a little closer, Chen Mo still recognized it because the red numbers floating in the air were more conspicuous.

"It's Hu Jiejun." Xia Zhining also recognized it.

"County magistrate, Hu Jiejun is being chased." Han Wu said in surprise.

Chen Mo heard it.

It's hard not to hear the rumble of horse hooves.

"Let them go first." Chen Mo thought for a while and said.

"promise."

"That's almost it. Let's fire the arrow."

After the chasing cavalry entered the encirclement, Chen Mo gave the order.

Xia Zhining's face turned stern: "But not all the Tiger Army has passed yet."

"What kind of Tiger Army? Where did the Tiger Army come from? They are all enemy troops. Shoot arrows for me." Chen Mo shouted.

Han Wu and the others didn't know how to write ink. When Chen Mo gave the first order to fire arrows, Han Wu blew the bamboo whistle.

When Chen Mo issued the second order, the archers ambushing on both sides of the mountain road all released their fingers.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The arrows are like life-threatening scythes.

Puff puff! ! !
Under indiscriminate attacks from both sides, the cavalry passing in the middle were directly shot off their horses. Those who were unlucky were directly shot into hedgehogs.

With slightly better luck, the horse underneath him was shot in the leg and was knocked to the ground in an instant. The cavalry following behind him did not expect that there was an ambush on both sides. They had no time to rein in the horse and bumped into the front and fell. The war horse, including the man and the horse, was knocked off his back.

After a round of arrows rained down, drums sounded, Chen Mo's soldiers closed the crossbow, pulled the trigger, and another round of arrows rained.

After the crossbows were fired, the archers re-cocked their arrows and began a new round of volleys.

The warhorse screamed and the blood rushed.

"No, there's an ambush, retreat!"

From the rear, General Guan led the rear cavalry and arrived. Relying on the moonlight, it was difficult to see clearly the situation on both sides of the mountain road. Without knowing how many people there were, they had no choice but to stop the pursuit and order a retreat.But the cavalry that had already entered the mountain road could no longer retreat.

The sound of bowstrings kept ringing.

At such a close distance and with such a dense crowd, every shot can almost take away a life.

In a unilateral massacre, the Shenwuwei and Shenwuwei became more and more courageous as they fought.

"withdraw!"

General Guan knew that the former army could not come back, so he immediately turned his horse around and prepared to leave without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a heavy arrow shot towards General Guan from the forest.

"General, be careful." The soldiers immediately set up round shields or used their bodies to block General Guan.

But who would have expected that this heavy arrow would actually pass by their heads.

"Shot crooked?"

The soldiers, including General Guan, were stunned. Even the latter's body was already surrounded by a circle of cyan innate spiritual energy.

Just when they were relieved, the arrow that flew past actually turned around and came back.

General Guan, as a sixth-grade warrior with rich combat experience, drew his sword to block. The arrow was blocked by the blade just before it was about to hit his head.

But the explosive power of the arrow was too great. The moment the arrow came into contact with the blade, there was a splash of fire, and then the blade was hit hard and hit him on the head. His helmet was lifted off, and he fell off the horse. down.

General Guan's expression changed drastically, and his hair was spread over his shoulders. He immediately guessed that he had met a master, but before he could get up, a sound of breaking wind came from his ears.

An arrow directly broke through the innate spiritual energy surrounding his body, shot into his head, and pinned him to the ground.

"General." The soldiers next to him were frightened when they saw this scene. They quickly got off their horses and protected General Guan. They didn't have time to check whether the general was still alive, so they hurriedly left the place with him.

In the mountain forest, Chen Mo put down his strong bow, but the red number on the opponent's forehead was flashing. It was so conspicuous that no one could resist shooting.

Chen Mo pulled out his Tang Dao and shouted: "Bang the drum, follow me and charge!"

"dong dong dong"

Among the heroic guards on Chen Mo's side, the marching drums sounded almost at the same time.

The men and horses of the two guards drew their swords and rushed towards the mountain road. 2000 people rushed down. The soldiers shouted "kill, kill, kill" three times, which shocked the surrounding area and captured the momentum.

Xia Zhining was infected by the atmosphere, her adrenaline surged, her heartbeat accelerated, and her blood boiled. She actually pulled out her sword and rushed down with Chen Mo.

Yuan Youchun's Hujie army was shot dead by Chen Mo's two guards indiscriminately. At first, he thought he was ambushed again, but when he saw that it was Chen Mo's army that rushed down, Yuan Youchun was so angry that he cursed. stand up:

"Chen Mo, you are so blind that all your own people are..."

Before he finished speaking, an invisible sword energy came across the sky and struck Yuan Youchun hard at the junction of his neck and shoulder. The innate aura that enveloped his body was like paper.

Blood spurted out fiercely, spraying all over Bai Su's face. When he saw Chen Mo coming with a knife, he was so scared that he almost jumped out of his wits. He pointed at Chen Mo and said, "How dare you?"

Chen Mo didn't stop, swung his knife again, and soon sent Bai Sui to accompany Yuan Youchun.

"Kill them all, leaving no one behind." Chen Mo said.

"promise."

"Kill it."

"Chen Mo, if you dare to kill us, Commander Qu will not let you go, pfft." As soon as a soldier said this, Han Wu slashed him in the face with a knife and cursed: "You're a bastard." Damn it, I’ve already seen you unhappy.”

After saying that, Han Wu kept moving and struck the soldier several times in a row until he was beyond recognition: "Now I have a clear idea."

Under the influence of the atmosphere, even Xia Zhining killed two people, but when he recognized that one of them was not a Hujie soldier, but an officer and soldier, he froze for a long time.

"Never killed anyone?" Chen Mo slashed to death the Tiger Soldier soldier who wanted to sneak attack Xia Zhining, then came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be stunned on the battlefield, otherwise you will die."

A quarter of an hour later.

"Tear."

Sparks flew everywhere, and torches lit up the mountain road. The soldiers of the two guards held swords in one hand and torches in the other to clean the battlefield.

"The injured horses that can't walk are killed for military rations. All the armors are stripped off and put on, so they can move faster." Chen Mo found that this cavalry was well-equipped and wore iron armor. Even the horses were covered with armor. No wonder there were several rounds of arrows. When the rain came down and they charged, there were still people alive.

"No." The soldiers responded.

"County Magistrate, seven of the war horses only suffered superficial injuries." The accompanying military scribe came forward and reported.

"Treat them and then take them all with you."

"promise."

"County magistrate, we found a map and two jade thumb rings from him." Han Wu groped around on Yuan Youchun's body and gave what he found to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo opened the map and found that it was a map of the entire Yuzhou. This is a good thing and a rare thing.

He found their current approximate location on the map - Luoqing Mountain.

Chen Mo gestured a few times at Luoqing Mountain and said, "Come here, help me file a report."

Some soldiers came to the paper and pen and stood aside.

"Yuan Youchun, the leader of the Hujie Army, commanded Bai Kui. He encountered an ambush by officers and soldiers. He bravely resisted, but failed to break through, and was eventually killed in Luoqing Mountain."
