Arrows were flying all over the sky, shooting towards the tens of thousands of people at the bottom of the valley. Countless arrows were like a rain of arrows.

Except for a few people who were able to find cover, everyone else had no choice but to dismount and disperse.

If they gather together, they will either be wiped out or injured by mistake.

Arrows rained down from the sky, and ten thousand soldiers drew their swords and shot away the arrows that were coming straight at them.

The cavalry have always been the elite in the army. Faced with such a situation, they were only confused for a moment under Tang Yuhuai's loud rebuke, and then responded heavily.

Tang Yuhuai is always laughing, scolding, and doing whatever he wants. His joy is clearly visible on his face, giving people the impression that he is someone who is easy to see through.

At this moment, he looked coldly at the ambushers on both sides of the valley. Many of the ambushers stood up, all of them were archers.

No one would miss this kind of terrain with natural advantages.

The people who are ambushing here don't need to fight with real swords and guns. They just need to occupy the commanding heights, prepare enough bows and arrows, and keep shooting arrows at Tang Yuhuai and others below, which will damage a lot of combat power.

Tang Yuhuai's eyes darkened, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to help Xi'an City."

This location is neither good nor bad. It is thousands of miles away from the capital and three or four cities away from Xi'an. In such a neither-good nor bad situation, the other side has a natural advantage.

Even if they could escape, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

Besides, no one knows what is waiting for them ahead!

Since they are preparing to attack them, there must be more than one ambush!

"General Tang, do you mean that people from Western Chu have infiltrated here?" The captain beside him misunderstood, his eyes widened, his face full of horror and disbelief.

"No way? If they all come to this place? Then... wouldn't Xi'an have already fallen?"

No, if the Western Chu army could set up an ambush here so brazenly, we could attack them.

This means that not only Xi'an fell, but Xianyang and the other two cities might have also been captured.

The captain's words caused others to think deeply.

"That's not good, General Tang. If this is the case, I'm afraid we can't move forward any further!"

"Yes, if we keep going forward like this, no one knows what's ahead. We might get trapped in their encirclement and be killed!"

"Otherwise, we should retreat first, send someone to investigate, and then move forward once the situation is clear?"

The few people who wielded swords to cut off the bow and arrow with Tang Yuhuai made suggestions at the same time.

It's no wonder that they were so nervous, it was just that this discovery was too disorienting.

Once Western Chu advances to this point, it will be meaningless for them to continue moving forward.

With only 10,000 of them, they are not many in number and cannot provide any support, let alone change the overall situation.

Therefore, we must figure out what the situation is with the previous cities?

Tang Yuhuai took their words to heart.

If it were just him, he would have rushed forward without a second thought, killing his way through.

At worst, I can fight them to the death. As a military general, dying on the battlefield is also a kind of honor.

But it is not possible now. He has tens of thousands of soldiers behind him. If he makes a wrong decision, tens of thousands of soldiers will die with him.

Even if not for yourself, but for the sake of those soldiers, you must understand the situation and move forward.

"I'll go check it out, you guys stay here." Tang Yuhuai didn't want anyone else to die, so he decisively chose to go alone.

"General, why don't you take a few people with you? Isn't it a bit dangerous to go alone?" suggested a young lieutenant.

"No, it's more convenient for me to go alone." Tang Yuhuai held a sharp sword in his hand and quickly cut a path. While the ambushers in the valley were not paying attention, he leaped up and stepped onto the mountain wall.

Taking advantage of the protruding parts of the mountain wall, he flew across the dangerous area like a dragonfly skimming the water, without exerting too much effort and with his light body.

The ambushers above noticed that Tang Yuhuai seemed to be trying to break through the encirclement, and soon someone tried to stop him.

Although there were dozens of people coming down to stop him, they were obviously vulnerable in front of Tang Yuhuai and could not even withstand his three moves.

Tang Yuhuai was wearing red armor, and anyone who tried to stop him was killed by the sharp sword in his hand.

Before, those people were standing on the top of the mountain and just shooting arrows from a distance, so naturally there were no clues that could be leaked out.

But as they came down to stop Tang Yuhuai, some habits that were engraved in their bones were immediately exposed.

Although they were wearing the armor and uniforms of Western Chu soldiers and holding spears, judging from their fighting habits...

They are not... Western Chu soldiers at all.

It is well known to everyone in the world that Western Chu is good at using spears.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou all used broadswords or swords.

People who use knives are used to chopping and slashing, because knives use force in different ways, and the knives in the army have always been heavy, so chopping or slashing is helpful in forcing the enemy to counterattack on the battlefield and suppressing them head-on.

It is different for people who use spears. They are used to stabbing with spears. This is the most common action and it will become a habit over time.

Even if they changed their weapons, the habits ingrained in their bones could not be changed in a short time.

When these soldiers were fighting with Tang Yuhuai, all of them were holding spears, but they were habitually chopping or slashing.

This kind of move is totally inconsistent with what a person who is used to using a spear should do.

Since they are not soldiers from Western Chu, it can only mean that these people are soldiers from the Great Zhou.

"You are soldiers of the Great Zhou, but you insist on wearing the skin of the Western Chu people. You have betrayed your ancestors like this. How can you face your ancestors in the afterlife?"

Tang Yuhuai placed the sword on a man's neck, his eyes sharp, and tapped the man meaningfully.

Dozens of people in front of Tang Yuhuai were not enough for him to defeat alone.

They thought that by changing into the uniforms of Western Chu soldiers and their weapons, they would be able to conceal their original identities.

But in fact, Tang Yuhuai only fought with them for a moment before he recognized their identities.

"You don't want to be a good person, but you have to be a traitorous dog. You are really making your ancestors proud!"

A calm word angered dozens of them.

Tang Yuhuai's words were meant to provoke them on purpose, in order to make them reveal more of their true colors.

Knowing that they are soldiers of the Great Zhou is far from enough. He wants to know who is the mastermind behind these people?

Without someone to instruct them, it would be impossible to reach a consensus with Western Chu, let alone get Western Chu to provide such authentic armor and spears for Western Chu soldiers.

Just by looking at their attire, even if they died here and no one buried them, they would be mistaken for soldiers of Western Chu.

Even though these people were indeed angered by Tang Yuhuai's words, they kept in mind the mission of this trip and therefore did not respond.

Since Tang Yuhuai has confirmed their identities, they are most likely from the Great Zhou.

Therefore, he was no longer as swift and decisive as before. He left a few people alive and only broke their legs, intending to take them back for interrogation.
