The last three kingdoms

Chapter 747

But after all, Langtu Village is located at the end of the Five Villages. Judging from the attack distance, it is the farthest one. Although Luo Xi gave orders to speed up the marching speed, there is still a little distance from Langtu Village. According to the map, you must You have to climb over the mountain ridge in front of you to reach Langtu Village.

But when they crossed this unnamed mountain ridge, the Shu army was suddenly attacked by cold arrows.

The Shu army is maintaining a marching formation. Although they have a certain sense of protection, marching is not as good as fighting, especially under such special terrain conditions, it is difficult to maintain a formation that is both offensive and defensive.

When they were attacked by cold arrows, there was some turmoil in the Shu army. The Shu soldiers who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground one after another, and the Shu soldiers who missed the arrow also retreated like frightened birds.

After Luo Xi was attacked by the Shu army, his first reaction was that this must be an ambush set by the Di people. After all, the Shu army came with torches, which was too ostentatious. The route and intention of the march had already been exposed. It is also common sense to set up an ambush halfway.

However, Luo Xi is not worried about the Di people's ambush. After all, according to the available information, the Di people's garrison in Langtu Village only has more than a thousand people. People come to ambush 1000 people, which is a joke in itself.

Luo Xi ordered the Shu army to form an formation immediately for effective defense, and at the same time to counterattack and shoot at the enemy.In the darkness, it was impossible to see where the Di people were in ambush, and how many people there were. The Shu army's archers could only counterattack in the direction of the Di people's arrows, somewhat aimlessly.

Arrows continued to shoot from the front, completely blocking the advance route of the Shu army, which inevitably made Luo Xi anxious. The agreed time had obviously passed, but the Yong'an army was blocked halfway, so He didn't even touch the edge of Langtu Village. If he delayed the overall offensive plan of the Shu army because of his journey, Luo Xi might not be able to afford it.

Although Luo Xi is the son of Luo Xian, the governor of the Right Army, Luo Xian has always been known for his clear rewards and punishments. If Luo Xi is really at fault, Luo Xian will never defend his shortcomings. He will be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. I know it well.But this is not the reason for Luo Xi's fear. This time he led the Yong'an Army from the Central Army to be temporarily assigned to Luo Xian's command.

However, judging from the current situation, things backfired a bit. The five groups of people attacked and saw that the direction of the other four villages was full of flames and killing sounds. It was obvious that they had already handed in hands with the Di people. Whether they took the village or not, At least they have already grabbed the upper hand.

Luo Xi's face was a bit ugly. It would not be surprising if the Di people huddled in the Langtu village and blocked the offensive of the Shu army by relying on the advantages of the location. To stop the Shu army, the strength of the troops was also five times worse, and the five times worse enemy was trapped on the mountain ridge and could not move forward. Luo Xi's face was indeed not good.

He ordered the Shu army to launch a counterattack immediately, and launched a massive counterattack against the Di people's ambush points.

But at this moment, some soldiers reported to Luo Xi in a panic: "Report to General Luo, something...is going wrong..."

Luo Xi's face suddenly sank, it seemed that he was unlucky tonight, he had bad luck again and again, he asked, "Why panic, what happened?"

The soldier pointed behind him and said, "General Luo, the Di people... the Di people are coming from behind!"

Luo Xi was startled suddenly, and looked back along the soldier's fingers, and he heard the sound of killing from the rear of the Shu army. From time to time, there were shouts of killing and the clash of weapons. Already fought the enemy.

What's the situation?
It is not too strange that the Di people are blocking the attack in front. It is common sense that the Di people set up an ambush to block the offensive of the Shu army based on the danger of the mountains and their familiarity with the terrain. If you attack from behind, it's not a simple matter of blocking. If you attack from two sides, the intention is very obvious, that is, you want to make dumplings for the Shu army.

But the Di people's troops in Langtu Village are limited, so it is not difficult to stop the Shu army, but if they want to wipe out the Shu army, wouldn't their appetite be too great?
Just when Luo Xi was deeply puzzled, urgent reports came from the left and right respectively, and both found the Di people's army in action. Obviously, the Di people were already surrounded on all sides.

Surrounded by heavy siege, the soldiers of the Shu army were obviously a little flustered. In the darkness, it was impossible to tell the number of Di people. The more so, the stronger the sense of fear. Now all the soldiers of the Shu army turned their attention to Luo Xi , I hope he can bring the Shu army out of the predicament.

At the moment of crisis, Luo Xi's mind calmed down. Obviously, this was a long-planned military operation by the Di people. There were only 1000 defenders in Langtu Village. However, it will definitely not pose a threat to the Shu army. The only possibility is that the Shu army received this information before and it was wrong, or that the Di people recruited new troops and the Shu army did not know about this situation.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the latter is extremely high. If the Di people want to swallow the 5000 troops of the Shu army, they must send at least twice as many troops. There were only 1000 people in Langtu Village before, so it should be unmistakable. , but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. It is really hard to say whether the intelligence from a few days ago is reliable.

But no matter what, the Shu army is now encountering great difficulties. In the unfamiliar terrain, they were besieged by the Di people on all sides. If they don't deal with it properly, they may be wiped out by the whole army. Of course, Luo Xi is cautious. Handle with care.This kind of night battle is actually the most difficult to fight. You can't see where the enemy is and how many ambushes there are. Luo Xi knows that no matter what the situation is, he can't mess up.

The Zhonglang General of Yong'an Zuoying was named Huang Chong. Seeing the critical situation, he said anxiously to Luo: "General Luo, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. Before the Di people close the encirclement, break through decisively. It might be too late.”

Luo Xi looked around and said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Di people did not encircle is that they lacked troops. It will definitely not exceed twice the size of our army. The Di people will besiege from all sides, and the limited force will definitely be full of loopholes, so the Di people are just a false siege. Their real intention is to make us retreat, and then rely on the familiar location to use We cannot easily fall into the trap of the Di people."
