Chapter 672: Shooting the Deadly Arrow in the Tiger Valley

------------

?

The vine armored soldiers in the rain were indeed like gods. Not only did they climb the ladder very quickly, but they were also able to launch a large-scale charge towards Lintao Fortress without any scruples.

The heavy infantry, wearing plate armor and fully covered helmets, were divided into three groups, one with shields directly blocked the mercedes, one with a large halberd and pointed the tip of the mercedes at the mercedes, and the remaining group was used as mobile forces. Wherever there was a loophole in the formation, they would fill it in without hesitation.

When the Yizhou soldiers wearing vine armor finally climbed to the top of the tower, they originally thought that they could conquer this annoying fortress with their invulnerable vine armor, but the actual situation made them extremely frustrated. The Yizhou soldiers found that the armor on the vanguard guarding the pit was even more powerful than their rattan armor.

For the siege, the vine armor is light and naturally suitable for climbing; but for the siege guarding the city, the steel armor is thick and can just increase the weight of resisting external forces. One side needs to keep climbing up, while the other side only needs to stand in place and wave the weapons in their hands.

The Yizhou soldiers who were siegeing the city were wearing vine armor and were invulnerable to the swords and guns, while the vanguard soldiers who were guarding the city were also invulnerable to the swords and guns. In this case, the elliptical soldiers could fully play their role. They just needed to keep picking the Yizhou soldiers who were climbing the city from the ladder and stab the top of the plug hard. These soldiers were wearing vine armor, so they were not heavy, which was just cheaper than the elliptical soldiers.

After this battle in heavy rain, the vine armored soldiers who relied on Yizhou to win still returned in great defeat. Except for a few soldiers who were stabbed to death by the opponent in hand-to-hand combat, most of them were killed by falling from the top of the block.

The heavy infantry guarding the city and the elliptical soldiers were indeed much more solid than the light infantry division led by Cao Xing. After the fourth battle, less than 200 soldiers died in the third division, and nearly a thousand injured brothers were also shot into arrows or injured in all limbs, which was far from deadly. These soldiers only had internal treatments and external treatments for the healing medicine specially produced by the Wohu Medical Academy for the army, and they would not be able to return to the battlefield in a short time.

What really made Wang Shuang feel distressed was the "flamingo" that instantly burned money to launch. According to the brothers of the Firearms Battalion, the cost of 20,000 taels of silver to complete a gathering shot of 100 flamingoes is 20,000 taels. Although it is extremely lethal, the cost is also amazing. If you shoot more than ten times a day, it won't take long, and this Lintao Fortress alone can consume the Liangzhou Legion's military expenditure for one year!

Of course, if so many rockets were really consumed, I was afraid that the body would be formed under Lintao City. Without hundreds of thousands of people burying them here, it would be useless to waste the efforts of the Fire Dragon King Zhao Bu.

The two attacks personally led by the Yizhou soldiers also ended in failure. Yan Yan felt a little distressed. The four formations in front and behind had already lost 15,000 people, and the vanguard army guarding the Lintao Fortress was obviously highly morale, and it seemed that the 50,000 people would not scare them. Yan Yan felt that it was not a solution to consume this, so he decisively withdrew his troops and headed towards Didao City east of Lintao without looking back.

Since he could not conquer Lintao, Yan Yan had to lead his army to the east, first joining Sima Yi's army, and then decide on the next action.

Before the news of Yan Yan's frustration in Lintao came, Sima Yi had already made up his plan to attack Yi County. When this bad news arrived, Sima Yi's determination became even stronger.

It is also a good thing to let Yan Yan's troops move closer to him. This can just offset the pressure from the Wudu garrison and allow Sima Yi to concentrate on leading his troops to attack Yi County.

Now Sima Yi has less than 40,000 soldiers available under him. In order to ensure the safety of the rear, he left nearly 10,000 soldiers led by Zhang Wei and stayed in Shangguo City. Sima Yi himself commanded 30,000 elite infantry in Yizhou and came towards Yi County.

On the way from Shangguo City to Yi County, the Yizhou army needed to pass through a place called Shehu Valley. The trees here are dense and the valleys are deep, which is an extremely dangerous place.

Sima Yi himself was always cautious and cautious. Before the army arrived at the Shehu Valley, he sent a large number of scouts and dead soldiers to conduct a careful search of the Shehu Valley area. After confirming that there were no enemy ambush nearby, he divided the army into three sections, front, middle and back, passing through the valley one by one.

Sima Yi's arrangement can avoid ambushing to the greatest extent. If the front section is attacked, the troops in the middle section and the rear section will immediately reinforce from both sides of the valley; if the attack is interrupted, the attack will be attacked in the front section; if the rear section is attacked, the guard will be taken in the front section and the support will be interrupted. In short, there is only one unit of the front, middle and rear armies in the valley, and no matter how powerful the opponent is, it will not be able to wipe out Sima Yi's troops.

With the assistance of the Shadow Team members, Cao Xing had taken advantage of the night to evacuate safely from the secret passage in Shangguo City. Now he is ambushing a cliff in the Shehu Valley, waiting quietly for Sima Yi to lead his army to pass from below.

The place where Cao Xing hid was very hidden, just in a slump that was sunk inwardly in the middle of a mountain wall. This gap was caused by a pine tree breaking out from the stone. Cao Xing was inside and was just blocked by the pine tree.

As a professional Sagittarius, Cao Xing has a very calm personality. He waited here without any haste. When he was thirsty, he would drink a few sips of clean water he carried with him, chew a few sips of beef jerky when he was hungry, and when he was sleepy, he would sleep in the cracks of the rocks with his clothes. After three days of patient waiting, Cao Xing finally saw the slowly coming army of Yizhou.

In the front, the 10,000 Yizhou troops passed under Cao Xing's nose, but there was no trace of Sima Yi; in the middle, the 10,000 Yizhou troops passed under Cao Xing's nose, but there was still no trace of Sima Yi; Cao Xing then turned his anticipated eyes to the back of the Yizhou troops who had not yet entered the valley in the distance.

After a while, after the Yizhou Army Middle Road in the valley completely left, the rear army, which was parked outside the valley, slowly began to move and came towards the bottom of the valley.

Cao Xing carefully picked up the pocket-sized monocular telescope and carefully searched for the young man with a white skin and feminine appearance that he had seen through the binocular telescope at Shangguo Chengtou.

Finally, Cao Xing saw Sima Yi's whereabouts in a team of tens of thousands of people. So Cao Xing silently raised the longbow in his hand, took an arrow with an extremely well-crafted workmanship, and began to aim at the young man sitting on the back of a horse in the valley and talking to the guards beside him.

"Five hundred steps...400 steps...300 steps!" Cao Xing silently estimated the distance in his heart. When Sima Yi was still 300 steps away from him under the mountain wall, Cao Xing suddenly pulled the longbow and then shot a fatal arrow without hesitation!

The sniper bow and long arrow carefully created by the Crouching Tiger Equipment Research Institute for the superb archery sharpshooter, whose accurate head is really not a cover. I saw that Cao Xing calmly shot an arrow, and when he walked through the air, he made a very faint sound, which was completely integrated with the birds and insects in the woods in the valley. When the sharp arrow penetrated the throat of the young man on the horse's back, no one noticed an assassin was ambushed in the valley.

The young man who was shot in the arrow had no time to make any sound, so he fell down the horse, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the guards beside him. ~
