One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 262 Ambush
Why did Qin Yi dare to let his subordinates ride quickly through the rough and gravel-filled Suohu Valley?Isn't he afraid of hurting the horse's hooves?

Yes, he is not afraid.The reason is very simple, that is, the horseshoes of the three hundred cavalry led by Qin Yi have been nailed with horseshoes.

Last month, Qin Yi recruited more than a dozen craftsmen by issuing a recruitment order.Originally, Qin Yi wanted these craftsmen to try to make advanced agricultural tools first.But later, Yang Feng told Qin Yi that the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Army would jointly send troops to Taiyuan County, because Qin Yi's soldiers and horses would also participate in the battle, so he asked these craftsmen to make horseshoes immediately.

War horses in this era have neither stirrups nor horseshoes.This made it difficult for the cavalry to control the horses, and the horseshoes of the horses were easily damaged.

The stirrup is too conspicuous. Qin Yi's influence is very small now, and the scale of the battles he participated in is not large, so he doesn't want to make this equipment too early to avoid being exposed in advance.The horseshoe is under the horseshoe and is not conspicuous, but it has a great effect on protecting the horseshoe. Therefore, Qin Yi first asked the craftsmen to make the horseshoe.

The craftsmanship of this thing is very simple. As long as you draw a blueprint and explain its use, any blacksmith can make it.The dozen or so craftsmen hurriedly built three hundred pairs of horseshoes within a few days.

Yesterday, before the expedition, these horseshoes were urgently equipped on the horses.This was Qin Yi's decision after hearing the scouts introduce the terrain around Zhanhua.

Tonight, the horseshoes played a big role.Qin Yi led the three hundred cavalry straight through Suohu Valley.

Seeing that Qin Yi's troops passed through Suohu Valley at the speed of a charge, Yu Du was greatly surprised.But at this time, his desire to catch up with this group of enemies was far greater than his curiosity. Therefore, when he saw Qin Yi leading his army through Suohu Valley, he became even more anxious and immediately urged the soldiers to pursue.

The forward of the Black Mountain Army entered Suohu Valley under the leadership of Yu Du.Just when they entered Suohu Valley most of the way, they suddenly discovered that the group of enemy troops did not continue to escape after passing through Suohu Valley, but formed a formation at the other end of the valley.

When Yu Du saw this posture, his heart skipped a beat: Oops, are they going to counterattack?

It was because Du wanted to order his troops to stop advancing, but before he could issue an order, he saw a rocket shooting into the sky from the enemy's 300-man army.

Yu Du stared at the rocket, his heart beating wildly.

"No, there's an ambush, retreat quickly!" In an instant, Yu Du thought of a possibility and shouted immediately.

It's too late, it's too late!
As the rocket shot out towards the sky, there were continuous whistling sounds suddenly on the hillsides on both sides of the valley.Countless black things fell from the sky and smashed to the bottom of the valley.It fell on the heads, bodies, or directly landed on the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.

After those things fell to the ground, they were broken immediately, but they were some small clay pots.

If it were just a clay pot, the impact on the Montenegrin Army would not be great and it would only cause some flesh injuries.However, after these clay pots fell to the ground and broke, the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army immediately smelled a pungent smell.

"It's oil, hurry up, get out!" Yu Du turned pale with fright. At this moment, his army was congested in the Suohu Valley, and the enemy even threw fire igniters to the bottom of the valley. Even a fool can imagine what will happen next moment. Understood.

Just as Yu Du expected, on the hillsides on both sides, after throwing the clay pots, there was a meteor shower of torches falling.

Suddenly, the fire oil at the bottom of the valley was ignited.When the fire is together, it is a sea of ​​fire.Soldiers of the Black Mountain Army howled in the sea of ​​fire and ran around.

Because Yu Du was at the front of the team, he was not affected by the flames. When he looked back, only the hundred cavalrymen were still following him, and behind the hundred cavalrymen was the fire that shot into the sky.

There is no way to withdraw.Yu Du gritted his teeth and roared, "Brothers, charge forward and kill all these officers and soldiers!"

Then, he took the lead and charged towards Qin Yi's army with his spear straightened.The hundred cavalry behind him followed immediately.At this time, their escape route was cut off, and they could only fight to the death.

Yu Du led the cavalry to charge, but he forgot that they were still in Suohu Valley at this time, the road was rough, there were many cavalry, just when they charged, the hoof of the horse was damaged, and the owner fell off his back .Then, the person who fell off the horse was trampled by the hooves of his colleagues behind him.

Yu Du was lucky that his horse was not injured. He was at the front of the formation, getting closer and closer to Qin Yi's troops.

Qin Yi's troops remained in place without any movement.

100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters...

whoosh-

An arrow was shot from the front center of Qin Yi's army, aiming at Du's throat.

"Kill—uh..." Yu Du roared, suddenly his throat felt cold, and he got off the saddle and flew backwards.

He had just landed when a horseshoe stepped on his stomach...

This arrow was shot by Qin Yi.At this time, although it was almost dawn, the sky was still very dark.If it was someone else, no matter how good the shooting skills were, it would be impossible to carry out precise strikes.Because you can't see the target.But to Qin Yi, this was nothing at all.He aimed at Yu Po and pierced his throat with an arrow.

He fell off the horse due to poison and died.The few soldiers following him were shocked when they saw that the poison had fallen from their horses.Subconsciously, you have to rein in your horse and stop.

However, once the charge is launched, it cannot be stopped at will.Most of the Montenegro soldiers didn't know that Yu Du had been shot off his horse, and they still charged forward.

The person in front wanted to stop, but the person behind was still charging, and bumped into the horse in front, causing him to flip over.

"Arrows——" Qin Yi roared, and the three hundred cavalry who had drawn their bows and stringed them immediately threw a wave of arrows at the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.

In an instant, dozens of Black Mountain Army soldiers were shot by arrows.

The remaining dozens of riders finally rushed out of Suohu Valley. Facing Qin Yi's 300 or so riders, they didn't have the courage to fight.

"Yu Du is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Qin Yi yelled at the dozens of soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.

"Yu Du is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" Behind Qin Yi, the 300 people immediately repeated Qin Yi's words.

Those dozens of Montenegro soldiers looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, someone took the lead and threw down their weapons, got off their horses and knelt down.Then, one by one, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army got off their horses and knelt down to ask for surrender.

In Suohu Valley, the fire is still burning.Soldiers of the Montenegrin Army were crying and howling in the fire.

However, the fire zone was only about twenty meters away.There were not many Montenegrin Army soldiers buried in the flames, only ten.

It turned out that Qin Yi wanted to use fire to cut off the formation of the Black Mountain Army.

Behind the sea of ​​fire, the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army retreated one after another, crowding each other, in chaos.

Suddenly, there was a loud drumbeat in the valleys on both sides, and the shouts of killing from countless people soared into the sky.Soldiers of the Black Mountain Army at the bottom of the valley looked to both sides, and the hillside was full of lit torches, just like the stars in the sky.
