Chapter 379 The Battle of the Dangerous Road

A few arrows flew into the mountains and forests, but there was no movement.

In the eyes of Bai Cong and others, this obviously sent out all safety signals. Li Ling also saw it at the beginning, but then he vaguely realized the problem. No other movement was the biggest crisis!

There are insects and birds in the mountains and forests, and arrows fly, which should have caused the birds to fly and crow. But as a result, just a few arrows came down, the whole forest was quiet, which was absolutely abnormal. The only explanation is that there are ambushes hidden in the nearby forests. The flying birds and insects were already scared by them and fled away.

At that moment, Li Ling was shocked and immediately shouted for warning. But it was already a little late at this time, because more than ten people including Bai Cong had already walked out twenty or thirty steps along the steep mountain road at the mouth of the eagle, and even he himself had already embarked on this most steepest road.

This warning turned out to be an order to remind the ambushers above. They no longer had the slightest hesitation and issued a decisive order to attack! Yes, this time the ambush was not located in a safer place as Bai Cong had been warned before, but was above their heads, a steep and dangerous cliff with lush plants and trees to cover.

What's even more terrifying is that their attack was not the condescending rush as imagined, nor was it a dense rain of arrows, but instead brought their positional advantage to the extreme.

As the figure suddenly appeared, there was a flash of sword light, but it did not slash towards the caravan below, but it slashed hard on the grass and wood tendons in front of them. After a few slashes, the grass tendons of the tree and wood, which were very tough and thick, quickly broke and spread out. Then, in a nearly inaudible rustling sound, the mud and sand first slid down, and then dozens of stones as big as millstones rumbled and rushed down from above and smashed towards this mountain road.

"Flash!" Bai Cong's reaction was extremely fast. When he saw an ambush coming out, he was already shouting and stopping, and then dodging backwards. But the men behind him were finally slower after all, and they were panicked, and the road was so narrow and crowded that they collided with each other. Someone was hit on the head by a stone, screaming and overturning. As soon as he moved, the person fell off the cliff.

Everyone tried their best to dodge themselves as if they were blown up in the pot, but in such a dangerous situation, there was too little room for them to hide. Under the ruthless collision of dozens of stones, more than half of the more than ten people who led the lead hit the cliff in a blink of an eye, and screams kept ringing, and the remaining ones were all caught in the stones and fell on the mountain road. Even if they did not die, they would lose their ability to protect themselves.

Bai Cong was the only one who was quick enough to avoid the stones that were pressed down, but he also paid the price of completely setting a distance from the rear team for this, and became alone and rushed to the front. Because when he saw the stones flying down, when he shouted a flash, he chose to move forward instead of like others, subconsciously retreating to seek the support of his companions behind him.

So in the end, Bai Cong was temporarily out of danger, while others were either dead or injured. As for Li Ling and others who were later on, they could withdraw from the attack range of this round of stones. Although some people were still injured, they were not serious. At the same time, all of them had drawn their swords in their hands, and the crossbows placed in the package were too late to take them out.

"Kill!" The ambushers above saw the sneak attack successful, and their morale was greatly boosted. With a loud shout, they took action again. This time, they shot a lot of arrows, and the targets were Li Ling and others who had retreated for a distance.

"Hurry, retreat again and retreat back to the bend over there!" Li Ling made a loud order at this time, and at the same time, under the protection of the Yang brothers and Li Moyun, he quickly retreated to the rear.

The three men and three swords were dancing like three big shields, and they stood firmly in front of him, causing the arrows shot from twenty or thirty steps to hurt them at all. But the others were not as lucky as him. The men were already killed off guard and were not determined. They were shot by waves of arrows after wave. When their hands were slightly slower, they would be taken advantage of by the arrows and screamed over.

Some people also put more energy on parrying and dodging arrows and forgot what was going on under their feet. They forced themselves to step out of the mountain path and fell off the cliff.

In just a short while, more than a dozen or twenty people fell here, which made everyone feel more and more frightened. They only had the idea of ​​escaping and kept retreating, and they didn't even bother to take a closer look at the situation around them.

At this moment, there was a sound of clapping on the cliff behind. When they looked back, their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley. On the other side, a group of people jumped down with ropes. The person was in mid-air, and the knife was raised, and they rushed up like hungry wolf hunting a flock of sheep.

These enemies were actually ambushed in the rear, and they were patiently waiting for the best opportunity to arrive before suddenly breaking out and cutting off their retreat in one fell swoop.

In front, after the arrow could no longer retreat to the target outside the corner of the rear, the enemies on the mountain also decisively rushed down the steep mountain wall, shouting and drawing swords to chase after him, and immediately formed a forward and back attack with the troops behind.

In fact, in terms of the number of people on both sides, the caravans with nearly half of the casualties were only slightly less than them. However, facing the ambush, their fighting spirit was completely disintegrated. They had no intention of fighting again. They just wanted to escape, and they were about to throw away their weapons and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Li Ling was in it, and he clearly grasped this point and felt extremely nervous. After all, he was just a civil servant, commanding wars, and had no idea. In the past, he was just talking about war on paper. Moreover, even if he wanted to command, he might not be willing to listen.

Just as his heart was already at the bottom of the valley and he didn't know if he should ask someone to break through, a person beside him shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of? Let's kill you again, the number of people is the advantage!" However, Yang Zhen suddenly spoke. While speaking, he waved the knife in his hand, and the back of the knife was slashing on the face of a guy who was constantly screaming, "What's the name of a ghost? It's not too late to scream after waiting for death!"

Yang Chen also shouted at this time: "There is still a chance. If we rush forward with all our hearts, we can turn defeat into victory! If you want to survive, just rush with me. Mo Yun and protect your son!" After giving Li Mo Yun this sentence, the two brothers and brothers took the lead and rushed forward without any hesitation, and rushed towards the enemies who were rushing towards them.

The two of them knew very well what was going on now. The enemy had already seized the absolute advantage, and their own troops were extremely panicked and they had lost the leader Bai Cong. If they looked forward and just wanted to hold Li Ling to hold on, the end result would inevitably be annihilated, and even the few of them would not be able to escape the enemy.

Instead, put aside your concerns and take the lead in retaliation, boosting the morale of the entire army, and maybe you can still make a comeback!

The two brothers had a sympathy and cooperated with each other. They almost flashed back at the same time, and collided head-on with the three enemies who had just rushed to the front. Without any hesitation, the two swords had turned into light and shadow and slashed out, directly at the key points of the three.

The three of them did not expect that two evil stars would turn around and kill from the retreating crowd. They paniced and their hands were even slower, and they were quickly dealt with by the two brothers and they screamed and fell down.

But this scene fell into the eyes of everyone, but the panic in these men's hearts was reduced, and fighting spirit burst out again in their eyes. After all, they were people who had experienced many storms with the Bai family. Perhaps their past experiences were not as dangerous as today, but with the backbone taking the lead, they were still willing to fight.

So, someone shouted loudly: "Let's rush up and avenge the brothers!" Then he raised his sword and followed the two of them and rushed upwards. In one shout after another, even if he was really timid, he was aroused the courage in his heart, and they screamed and raised his sword to retaliate.

In this way, the thieves behind who had already set up their own formation and wanted to take the opportunity to get a bargain were unexpected, so they could only watch the other party rush forward and set a distance from their own house.

The enemies who came to the front were fighting against the Yang brothers who rushed towards him like a tiger. Although they were all fierce, they were obviously far from being the opponents of the Imperial City Master in terms of martial arts. Especially in this place where the terrain was steep, their disadvantages were infinitely amplified. In just a few rounds, two more were swept off the cliff, and their screams made everyone feel excited.

Because it was not until this time that they suddenly saw a fact that the dangerous geography here not only caused trouble to the caravan, but also a problem they needed to overcome. They were originally shooting arrows and stones at a high place, so they naturally had no worries in this regard, but now they are fighting head-on, and the geographical environment is completely equal to both sides.

"Kill!" Yang Zhen shouted again, and slashed out with one knife, forcing both enemies to retreat to the edge of the mountain wall. His movements did not stop. He took advantage of the situation and kicked them out with one kick, hitting the two of them twice, and kicking them out of the cliff.

"Let's go!" Yang Chen's rushing was not as fierce as his younger brother, but his sword skills were tricky enough. He did not lose any disadvantage in one enemy. Instead, he could only resist and could not counterattack. Naturally, he also injured several people in a row, laying a solid foundation for the caravan men who rushed over from behind.

So, when the men who regained their fighting spirit roared and fought back, the situation of the battle had completely reversed. Even the ambushers behind them who wanted to attack began to stir up their hearts, and some even felt a sense of retreat at this moment.

Although these people are also Luotian scholars, they are not real irons and cannot abandon everything and only serve the holy religion.

Li Ling was also wrapped in this melee. Although he had a knife in his hand, it was useless, because all the attacks were carefully taken care of by Li Moyun. With a knife in his hand, he could easily protect Li Ling. Just as the two of them saw the opportunity and slashed over, he was chopped over with a casual knife.

Seeing him lifting weight so lightly, a strange thing flashed in Li Ling's eyes.
