Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316 Seizing the Valley Mouth
In the valley, King Xiutu, Fuluohan and others stood on a tall rock at the entrance of the valley, looking at the situation outside.

The Han Wuzu, Shenjiying, Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry and other troops ran towards this side in an orderly manner. The sound of their uniform footsteps on the ground surprised these people.

"I have long heard that the Han army at Yanmen is well-organized in its military management. Seeing it today, I find that it is well-deserved."

Fu Luohan sighed.

"Hey, are you scared?"

King Xiutu taunted.

Fuluo Han's face twitched, and then he said with a fake smile: "My 110,000 Xianbei cavalry are enough to crush all enemies into dust. What can these 40,000 to 50,000 Han troops do to me? But you Xiongnu have less than 60,000 people. Humph, you'd better be careful in the next battle."

Seeing that the two men started arguing again, the Han envoy hurried over.

"You two, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, it is better to focus on fighting the enemy. We can discuss all the grudges after we kill this man."

Fu Luohan snorted coldly: "Your Excellency is right. I will let you Xiongnu go for now, and I will settle with you after I deal with Liu He."

King Xiutu was too lazy to continue arguing with him. He just glanced secretly at the Han envoy, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

At this time, a general of the Xianbei suddenly shouted.

"Oh no! The Han army is going to deploy their troops! Their equipment and battle formation are specially designed to deal with our cavalry. We suffered a great loss in Yanmen before. We can't let them deploy their troops!"

This general had participated in the Battle of Yanmen, and when he saw the Han Wuzu and the Shenjiying, he recognized them the first time he saw them.

King Xiu Tu, who was standing by, disagreed: "How can you think you can stop our hundreds of thousands of cavalry with just these few men?"

The Han envoy said anxiously: "Hurry up and attack! These are the Han Wuzu and Shenjiying. If we let them finish forming the battle array, even if we can rush out by then, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses!"

Since he said so, King Xiutu no longer objected.

"My men, attack with all your strength and crush the Han army!"

"My Xianbei men will also attack, to let them know that we Xianbei cannot be bullied, and Fuluo Han is not that useless person like Kuitou!"

The two leaders gave orders at the same time, and the generals under their tents led the cavalry under their command and rushed out of the valley.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of the trampling of hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen was already very loud, and it echoed in the valley. The combination of the two made it even louder.

Gao Shun's expression changed: "They are coming out, hurry up!"

The soldiers of the Han Wuzu ran much faster.

Ye Xiang did the same, shouting to the Shenji Camp: "Hurry, we must complete the formation before the Hu people come out. Otherwise, without a formation, we will be attacked by their cavalry and suffer heavy losses!"

He secretly sighed in his heart that these Hu people were indeed well prepared. Although they had received the news and knew that they were in the valley, they could not see any human figures or hear any movement at a glance.

The fact that they suddenly launched an attack while they were marching showed that they had already assembled their troops in the valley. If they were allowed to succeed, the Han Wuzu and their own Shenjiying would be absolutely unable to resist, and I am afraid that these 18,000 people would be wiped out in an instant.

“Woo woo woo…”

The shouts of the Hu people suddenly came from the valley.

Ye Xiang was startled and looked up, and saw a group of cavalrymen appearing and disappearing in the dimly lit valley.

"Oops, it's too late!"

The enemy was about to rush out of the valley, but the Han Wuzu and his own Shenji Camp were at least three hundred steps away from the valley entrance, and there was no time to form a formation to block them before they rushed out!

After a while, two Xianbei cavalrymen rushed out of the valley first.

The two men were beaming with joy, waving their weapons, and when they saw the Han soldiers not far ahead, they sped up and charged over.

"Haha, great! This time I'll see how the Han army will deploy their troops! After all, our Xianbei men are still the most valiant!"

Fu Luohan clapped his hands and cheered, while glancing at King Xiutu from the side.

King Xiutu gritted his teeth. Although he was unhappy, the fact was that he could only endure and let Fuluo Han be proud for a while.

At this moment, a few "whoosh" sounds were heard, and the two Xianbei cavalrymen fell to the ground.

Fuluo Han was shocked and looked over carefully. He saw that it was a archer in the Han army who looked like a general who shot two arrows in succession and knocked down the two men.

"Great archery skills, not inferior to our Huns, haha!"

Although King Xiutu was also in a hostile state with the Han army, he couldn't help but cheer when he saw this situation.

Fu Luohan was so embarrassed that he started shouting in anger.

"What are you doing? Rush out quickly and crush the Han army!"

In the Shenji Camp, Ye Xiang looked at Qu Hang, who was making progress at the same pace as him, and praised him highly.

"Chong Ling, well done! Let's do this, everyone run and shoot with the crossbows!"

Ye Xiang and Qu Hang rode their horses, and with the help of the double stirrups and the harness, they could use both hands to draw the bow, but the soldiers could not. If they also drew the bow with both hands, it would inevitably affect the marching speed, and the shooting skills of ordinary soldiers were far inferior to theirs. If they ran and shot arrows at the same time, it would be inevitable that they would make mistakes in their aim. If they shot the Han Wu soldiers in front, it would be troublesome. However, the crossbow could be fired with one hand, so for the well-trained soldiers of the Shenji Camp, this would naturally not have any impact.

Ye Xiang shouted to Gao Shun and greeted him. After hearing this, Gao Shun immediately gave an order to the Han Wuzu soldiers to bend down and run.

The Xianbei and Xiongnu soldiers quickly rushed out from the valley entrance in batches. The two vanguards had just fallen, and in just a few breaths, thousands of people rushed out.

"Ahahaha, incompetent Han people, let's...oh my god..."

Before these Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry had time to be happy, they saw thousands and thousands of arrows coming towards them.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of sounds of blood spurting out from being hit by arrows, followed by soldiers falling off their horses one after another.

Although the entrance to the valley was not very narrow, it was still somewhat limited. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people fell to the ground, immediately blocking a large section of the road outside the valley entrance. Many cavalrymen who were following closely behind were directly hit by their horses that had lost their owners, or were tripped by the bodies of their comrades and stumbled to the ground.

"What is that? It can actually fire so many arrows at the same time!"

King Xiutu looked at the crossbows in the hands of the Shenjiying in shock.

The Han envoy said: "According to our information, this unit is called Shenjiying, and it is the crossbow unit under Liu He's command. This crossbow is also carefully designed and built by them. It can fire ten crossbow arrows at a time. It should be specially designed to deal with the cavalry of the two tribes."

King Xiu Tu looked at the crossbow in shock and fear: "Damn it, with this thing, it will be difficult for our men to get out of the valley safely!"

As he spoke, the second batch of crossbow arrows from the Shenji Battalion came again. They shot in groups of 1,000, and in order to avoid affecting their running, after shooting, they did not lower their heads to reload new crossbow arrows, but instead spread out to both sides and continued running, leaving the middle position for the second batch of soldiers to shoot.

Although the powerful crossbow had a low hit rate, it had the advantage of large numbers. When a thousand people fired, ten thousand powerful short arrows flew at the same time. Most of the hundreds to thousands of Hu cavalry who ran out from the gap between the two waves of Shenjiying soldiers were killed by these crossbows, and the rest were blocked by the corpses.

"Oh no! The Han army has started to form a battle array!"

Fu Luohan exclaimed.

I saw that the first group of Han soldiers had already run to a place more than a hundred steps away from the valley entrance. Their heavy and tall black shields smashed to the ground like huge rocks falling from the sky and were deeply embedded in the earth.
