When most of the convoy entered the middle of the canyon, something strange happened!
“Boom!”
A loud noise came from the back of the canyon, and countless huge rocks and logs fell from the cliffs on both sides, instantly blocking the valley entrance!
"kill!"
At the same time, deafening shouts of killing erupted from the valley entrance in front and the ridges on both sides!
Countless arrows shot towards the convoy in the valley like locusts!
"There's an ambush! Protect His Highness!"
Zhang Huan reacted extremely quickly. He roared and swung his sword to block the arrow.
Although the soldiers were panicked, they were regular troops after all, so they immediately formed a defensive formation. The shieldmen stepped forward and the spearmen followed behind, surrounding Yinji's carriage.
Wang Ben's hair stood on end in anger, his eyes bloodshot as he held a large knife in his hand. "It's the Tartars! And the traitor Yin! Xiao Lie, you old scoundrel, it's you who did this!"
Li Mao's face was gloomy as he commanded his troops to hold their ground, secretly hating himself for not being resolute enough before.
The ambushed Tatar cavalry rushed out from the valley entrance, trying to break the convoy's formation, while the infantry on the ridges on both sides continued to shoot arrows and throw rolling stones and battering rams.
Although the Shuozhou army fought bravely, they were in a desperate situation and the terrain was unfavorable. They suffered heavy casualties and their formation was compressed smaller and smaller.
Yinji was in the car, listening to the shouts and screams outside, his face pale, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Mr. Zhou stood in front of him, tears streaming down his face: "Your Highness...I am incompetent..."
At this critical moment, suddenly——
"boom!"
A roar far more deafening than the previous boulders rolling down, like the collapse of heaven and earth, came from the outside of the canyon!
The whole earth seemed to tremble!
Immediately afterwards, there were several consecutive equally terrifying roars!
“Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—!”
A sharp sound of breaking through the air cut through the sky, and countless arrows were shot out, accurately covering the Northern Di cavalry column that was attacking the convoy formation!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and smoke filled the air!
The Northern Di cavalry were thrown to the ground and fell into chaos in an instant!
The neighing of war horses and the screams of soldiers resounded through the sky!
Fan Wenjing, who was about to command his infantry to launch a general attack, was completely stunned by this sudden attack. He stared at the sea of fire and chaos on the open ground below the mountain, his mind blank.
"What...what is this? Is this...the thunder from the sky that Wuliangha mentioned?"
Before he could react, the sound of air breaking was heard, like the grinning of the god of death!
Those were specially made armor-piercing arrows fired from a heavy compound crossbow above the valley.
These arrows seemed to have eyes, shooting accurately at the Tatar officers and flags who were trying to reorganize their troops!
