As soon as the words fell, the Northern Army cavalry rushed towards the border city in a mighty manner.

Before they entered the original moso bamboo forest, because Jin Zhongyun believed in the spies' words, his speed did not stop at all and he took the lead and ran towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Wang Yuan and others who were ambushing inside saw the northern army coming towards the inside. Their military morale was determined, and everyone held their breath for fear that the northern army would discover their ambush.

The ground was rolling like thunder, and the dull sound of horse hooves spread throughout the bamboo forest in an instant. At the order of their general, the three thousand tiger battalions all adjusted their crossbows to firing state.

As long as these northern troops appear in front of them, these people will definitely seize the crossbows without hesitation.

Wang Yuan looked at the Northern Army that was rapidly attacking inside, and saw the leading general carrying a square-shaped halberd on his back. He immediately understood that this person must be Jin Zhongyun, one of the right-hand men of Shi Ba of the Northern Army.

Seeing the northern army commander marching in, their lord still did not give the order to start the attack. Qi Yanliang and Dong Yu looked anxious at the moment, fearing that this would delay the opportunity to fight.

At this moment, they suddenly saw Wang Yuan give the attack signal. Immediately afterwards, the two of them looked happy and immediately shouted to the Huben camp under their command: "Attack!"

--Puff puff!

Countless crossbow arrows launched attacks at the same time at this moment, and the crossbow arrows shot into the enemy's body and made a dull popping sound.

Jin Zhongyun, who was leading his troops to charge quickly, saw the crossbow arrows attacking him. His expression suddenly changed. He then drew out the Fang Tian Hua Ji behind him and swept across the army to sweep away the crossbow arrows flying towards him. Come on.

He turned around and shouted: "Mother, why is there an ambush? Everyone, resist immediately!"

In addition to the sabers they could carry, almost everyone in the Northern Army had a bow and arrow. After hearing Jin Zhongyun's order, everyone immediately began to take off their bows and arrows and shoot towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

However, this was of no use in their opinion, because they were outside and could not see any movement from the Huben camp ambushing inside.

On the contrary, Wang Yuan and others looked at the Northern Army with clear eyes.

Although three thousand people were not too many, because they were hiding and the crossbows in their hands were much faster, they killed about a thousand people from the Northern Army in almost the blink of an eye.

The Northern Army has a large number of people, and there are many cavalry on the periphery who are entering the dense forest at this moment. The rear does not know that the front has been ambushed, so they can only continue to charge forward one by one.

For a moment, the morale of the Northern Army was disturbed, and many people were slightly stunned at this moment.

Jin Zhongyun felt the movement coming from behind, and shouted loudly with an ugly face: "Don't be chaotic, seize the time to attack, if possible, fight back directly on the spot!"

At this moment, the deputy general also led a group of soldiers and horses to attack from a distance. In their current view, it would be easier to launch an attack at this time.

At this time, Wang Yuan, who was commanding the ambush battle, saw the chaos within the Northern Army. He was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Intensify the attack. Now is our opportunity. Everyone must act quickly!"

Qi Yanliang and Dong Yu were even more powerful than ten. They had extremely rich battlefield experience. At this moment, Wang Yuan did not need to say anything, and they had already started to speed up the attack with their men.

However, although the attack was very fast and violent, these people were not stupid enough to rush out of the dense forest. In their current view, this was the safest way to attack at this moment.

Seeing that most of the Northern Army in front was killed or injured in this moment.

Qi Yanliang was very excited when he saw this scene. He felt excited when he saw blood, especially the blood of enemy soldiers.

So Qi Yanliang was almost constantly moving. After assembling the crossbow arrow in his hand, he shot it towards the Northern Army without even aiming.

Fortunately, the Northern Army is now entangled, so for people like Qi Yanliang, they can shoot the Northern Army directly even with their eyes closed.

Seeing that more and more of his men were killed and wounded, Jin Zhongyun looked very ugly. His men had suffered a lot of damage on the tripping ropes before, and now they were being ambushed like this. He was in a high position and was someone Shi Ba admired so much. .

Now that I have been attacked like this, it is simply a shame and a great humiliation. When have I ever suffered this kind of loss?

But now he couldn't bear the loss anymore. Jin Zhongyun called the deputy general and shouted loudly: "Lead the people to retreat immediately. The front army becomes the rear army, retreat immediately!"

The deputy general looked embarrassed. Their people were now entangled together. Retreating at this time was not so easy. But if they didn't retreat now, they would be killed sooner or later.

He immediately clasped his fists in agreement and immediately rode his horse towards the rear quickly. At this moment, a crossbow arrow shot out directly and hit him hard.

He forcefully shot the deputy, who was as big as an iron tower, more than two meters away.

Lieutenant General Jin Zhongyun in the distance also died. He cursed angrily, turned his horse around and shouted: "Return to the defense with the left and right wings to cover the retreat of the Chinese army, quick!"

As Jin Zhongyun finished speaking, the cavalrymen in the two rows on the left and right pulled away from each other almost in an instant. They held bows and arrows and faced the bamboo forest with frequent shooting without fear of death.

I have to say that this is indeed useful, at least it slows down the probability of their own people being shot for a long time.

Wang Yuan and others were in the dense forest. After seeing the Northern Army changing their formations, they didn't have much worry.

Using the cover of the dense forest not only prevents the enemy from detecting their presence, but more importantly, deep in the dense forest, these bamboos are intertwined, making it impossible for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot out.

But because people like Wang Yuan could clearly see the situation outside, there was naturally no obstruction in shooting.

Seeing that the cavalry under his command had been divided, Jin Zhongyun gave a loud shout and led the Chinese army to retreat quickly. Half of the divided cavalry on both sides fell instantly.

This method is tantamount to using the cavalry to separate on both sides and form human shields, but this is the only way at the moment, otherwise, they will all die here.

Seeing that the enemy was preparing to retreat, Dong Yu and Qi Yanliang were very anxious, but at this moment, after all, Wang Yuan had not given the order, and they could not take advantage of the victory to pursue them.

Jin Zhongyun led his men and horses to retreat toward the rear, and the cavalry of the Northern Army following at the rear also began to turn their horses at this first opportunity.

But after their men retreated a few hundred steps, they encountered a snagging rope again and instantly lost more than half of the cavalry!
