Under Shangguan Yuan's orders, the Feng Army entered the valley, and Shangguan Yuan also followed the crowd into the valley.
The Huan Army that had caught up from behind quickly reached the Valley Opening, and upon reaching there, Cao Hou hurriedly ordered the entire army to stop their advance.
"General Cao, why aren't you leaving?" Lee Hao asked with a puzzled expression.
Cao Hou did not know that it was a dead end, but he felt that the entrance to the valley was extremely steep. He frowned and said, "This canyon is very steep. I'm worried that there are ambushing soldiers on both sides of the mountain."
Lee Hao looked up and saw nothing. He shook his head and said, "The enemy is running for his life, how can we have the time to set an ambush on the mountain? General Cao was overthinking things. If we let the enemy run far away, then we will miss the chance to completely annihilate the Feng Army. "
Cao Hou also understood this logic, but with his sharp senses, he felt that the canyon ahead him was extremely easy to set up. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Be careful. We should first figure out what is going on." As he spoke he called over the deputy general and led him out to see if there were any ambushes on both sides of the canyon.
Li Jun, who was at the side, scratched her head anxiously. At this time, not only did they not chase after the enemy, but they also wanted to sit here and wait for the result. By the time the situation became clear, the enemy would have already run away without a trace. However, Cao Hou was the main general. If he did not give the order to chase the enemy, Li Hua would not be able to do anything.
Before Huan Army's scouts could be sent out, suddenly, someone from the canyon ahead shouted loudly, "Huan Army, quickly retreat! There is no way through!"
His shout was loud and echoed in the canyon for a long time.
Cao Hou was also shocked, he hurried his horse forward and ran to the front of his camp. He then raised his eyes to look, only to see a General of Feng Country in the valley, covered in blood, holding two blades in her hand. This person was none other than Shangguan Yuan.
Seeing who was in front of him, Cao Hou's heart tightened. He sat on the horse and subconsciously retreated, afraid that Shangguan Yuan would rush over and kill him.
On the contrary, it was Lee Ju who revealed a happy expression and said with a trembling voice, "General Cao, the General of Feng Country in front is Shangguan Yuanyang! He was already at the end of his tether, and now she recklessly stepped forward to stop our army. This is the best opportunity to kill this person. General Cao, if we let Shangguan Yuan be killed, how much credit would we receive? How much face would we show? Don't hesitate anymore, hurry up and go up! "
That's right, Cao Hou could also see that Shangguan Yuan had already reached the end of his strength. When Shangguan Yuan sat on the horse, even his waist was not straight, and the spirit armor on him was also incomplete, it was a Spirit Armored Materialization which could reduce the consumption of spirit energy.
With such a huge bait in front of him, it would be impossible for Cao Hou to not be tempted. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand at the same time. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Kill!"
The moment Cao Hou's words fell, the Huan Army behind him immediately surged forward, as they roared and surged forward.
The one standing in the canyon was indeed Shangguan Yuan. He had already retreated into the valley, but seeing that Huan Army had not chased him in for a long time, he immediately realized that the enemy troops might not have been fooled and had stopped outside the valley.
As he told the Feng Army to retreat, he turned his horse and backed out of the valley. When he went to the outside, he saw that the Huan Army troops had indeed stopped outside the valley, and seemed to be hesitating about whether or not to enter the valley. Shangguan Yuan made him shout out loud, using him as a bait to lure the enemy in.
Huan Army also did not disappoint him. After seeing Shangguan Yuan move aside, they all crowded around him. This time, the attack came from the Huan Army infantry phalanx. Before the person even arrived, the arrows had already shot out, causing the sky to be filled with Arrow Rain s that flew into the canyon, falling onto the ground to let the officials know.
Shangguan Yuan gritted his teeth and circulated the last of his spiritual qi, releasing the Chaotic Wind to block the enemy's arrow formation.
When the Arrow Rain met the Spirit Blade, the crisp sound of the bell rang incessantly. However, just as he blocked the first wave of arrows, the second round had arrived. The officials above could not support him continuously releasing his skills with his current Qi. In a situation where he had nowhere to hide, he could only use the Spiritual Knife to fire at the arrow.
In just the blink of an eye, Shangguan Yuan's body, arms, and thighs included a few arrows. The spirit armor had blocked the arrows' damage, but the impact still knocked him off his war horse, without his protection, the war horse instantly turned from red to black and its body was covered with black feathers, just like a big hedgehog.
Seeing that Shangguan Yuan had been shot down from his horse, Cao Hou was so excited that his eyes shone brightly. Li Ji was even more excited by the side, and could not control the excitement in his heart, he immediately urged his horse to rush out, and shouted towards the Huan Army array that was pushed forward: "Quick, quick, quick, advance at full speed!"
When Li Jun went up, Cao Hou was afraid that all the credit would be taken away by him, so he urged his to follow suit. Cao Hou was the frontline general. Once he went up, he no longer held back his Huan Army, and with the entire army pressing down on top of him, even Xu Qing and the rest of the people following behind followed suit. With one hundred and fifty thousand Huan Army s, they arranged in an orderly fashion, as they entered the canyon.
As for Shangguan Yuanyu, he was shot by the enemy's arrows until he had nowhere to go. He had nowhere to hide in the canyon, and with the continuous arrows shooting at him, his spirit armor was also overwhelmed. Cracks could appear at any time, and it was possible for it to shatter at any time.
Right at this moment of life and death, more than two thousand Feng Army s suddenly surged out from the valley. Everyone held their shields high, and sprinted forward with all their might.
When the Feng Army warriors rushed to Shangguan Yuan, they immediately surrounded him, and at the same time, raised their shields and laid out Shield Array s, blocking the arrows fired by the enemies.
The sounds of arrows hitting the shield rang incessantly. Shangguan Yuyin, who was covered by the shield, panted heavily as he asked, "Didn't I tell you to retreat first? Why are you guys back? "
"The Chief General has not retreated, how would we dare to retreat first?"
"Chief General, quickly go. We will block the enemy!"
How could two thousand people block one hundred and fifty thousand Huan Army? Shangguan Yuan let out a low shout: "You guys retreat with me!"
"No!" The other brothers are still on the ropes. If we let the enemy in, none of us will be able to escape and will all become targets! " A thousand-man commander's eyes widened as her beard and hair flew out. She pushed Shangguan Yuan away and said anxiously, "Chief General, quickly leave. Even if we die on the battlefield, it's worth it to have so many enemies to accompany us in death!"1
How could Shangguan Yuan be willing to allow him to escape and leave so many of his brothers behind? He said angrily, "I said, if you want to withdraw, then let's leave together!"
The thousand-man commander's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he shouted: "The Chief General alone can surpass us by thousands and thousands. With the Chief General here, I will not be humiliated in the future.
These words had brought quite a bit of shock to Shangguan Yuan. While he was still in a daze, the Captain had already signaled the two soldiers beside him to quickly pull Shangguan Yuan into the valley.
Without explaining further, the two Feng Soldier dragged Shangguan Yuan away and ran into the valley.
They left, but the battle still continued, the Huan Army's nocked arrow formation continued to shoot forward, with a total of more than two thousand Feng Army s. Even though they had erected their shields, from time to time, people would still fall to the ground after being shot by the arrows.
When Shangguan Yuan let two soldiers bring him into the valley, tie the rope to his waist and quickly pull it up by the people on the mountain, the Huan Army had already come into contact with the more than two thousand Feng Army s in the valley. The two thousand plus people, under the impact of the Huan Country's great army, instantly dispersed. Without formation, they could only fight on their own, then be chopped down by the Huan Army one by one.
After completely exterminating all of the Feng Army in the canyon, the Huan Army smoothly rushed into the canyon.
When the large group of people from Huan Army arrived, everyone was stunned. The valley was empty and empty, where was the shadow of the Feng Army? By this time, the sky was already bright and everything inside the valley could be clearly seen. The ring-shaped valley was surrounded by walls and there were no exits, but of course, there were no soldiers of Feng Army inside.
"Eh? Why is there no one here? Could it be that even the Feng Army has wings on its back, and is flying away? " Li Jun's face was filled with confusion as she muttered to herself in doubt.
Cao Hou's heart suddenly stirred, and following that, his face changed as he cried out: "Not good! We've fallen into a trap! " With that, he turned his horse and shouted, "Back off! Hurry and retreat! "Retreat from the valley!"
"General, what's wrong ?"
One of the General of Huan Country s still had not reacted, as they approached Cao Hou and asked in a daze.
Cao Hou's facial features distorted and his face flushed red. He grabbed onto the General of Huan Country's collar and turned around, shouting: "Quickly go and inform the marshal, this is a trap set up by the Feng Army. The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. Finally, his mouth opened wide, unable to utter a single word. His eyes grew longer as well.
He just saw that at the entrance of the valley, Xu Qing's Commander Flag had already unsteadily arrived. Where the Commander Flag was, the Commander was naturally also here, and since Xu Qing had entered, then the fifty thousand troops must have entered the valley as well.
Cao Hou felt a buzzing in his head, and he stood there blankly, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
But just at that moment, a loud noise came from outside the canyon, it was extremely loud and shocking, deafening everyone. The entire valley trembled from the impact, many of the Huan Army soldiers were unable to stand, and fell onto the ground, falling onto their horses.
Before they could even react, the second, third, fourth ? The loud sounds followed one after another.
Damn it, I really fell into his trap! Cao Hou recovered from his shock, steadied his shocked warhorse, and then, madly rushed towards the direction of the Valley Opening.
Before he could even reach Valley Opening, he saw a large number of soldiers running towards him while crying. Cao Hou lowered his body and pulled one of the soldiers, and asked loudly: "What's going on outside?"
The soldier recognized Cao Hou, and said while trembling: "General Cao, something bad happened! Suddenly, a lot of huge rocks fell from the mountains on both sides of the canyon and blocked the canyon, and many of our brothers were killed!"
"What?"
This time, Cao Hou completely understood Feng Army's strategy. Feng Army wanted to trap their 150,000 strong army to death in this dead end with no way out!
