Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 424: We suffered a great loss, Ying Bu sneaked into the camp!

On the broad road, Ying Bu galloped forward like an arrow from a bow, the hooves of the horse under his crotch flying, splashing clouds of dust. Behind him, followed closely a majestic and disciplined army - all black-armored troops. This black-armored army was like a black torrent, rolling forward.

In order to prepare for this crucial battle, Zhang Liang, after careful consideration, resolutely decided to let Kong Gang dismiss all the carefully trained black armored soldiers as soon as possible, and without hesitation handed them over to Ying Bu for unified command and dispatch. As the imperial army gradually withdrew from Xiangjun in an orderly manner, Ying Bu, who was originally trapped in Yecheng, was finally able to get out of the predicament.

Ying Bu had just escaped from the predicament and had no time to catch his breath when a new and arduous task came. According to Gao Yao's order, he needed to lead all the elite troops and rush to Heilongkou to launch a surprise attack on the imperial army. Not only that, this operation also had a special deployment arrangement: most of the county towns only needed to leave a few dozen people to guard to ensure that there would be no internal danger; and the rest of the personnel had to gather and move closer to where Ying Bu was.

When Ying Bu led 6,000 elite soldiers from Ye County, he was still a little worried. When Ying Bu led the army into Guilin County, the size of the team had expanded rapidly, and the number of people soared to 15,000! After arriving in Guilin County, it became a gathering place for troops from all directions. The garrisons from other counties joined in one after another, and 5,000 majestic black-armored soldiers also quickly returned to the team. So far, the strength of Ying Bu's troops has continued to grow like a snowball, and finally broke through the 30,000 mark in one fell swoop! A full 35,000 people,

This is undoubtedly a crucial link after Zhang Liang and Gao Yao conspired - how to defeat the imperial army in one fell swoop? Admittedly, they can choose a delaying tactic, but in this way, the situation will only become more unfavorable for the Southern Border Army. The more difficult problem is that Gao Yao has another layer of worry in his heart: Will the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan burn his boats and attack the infrastructure and innocent people in the Southern Border at all costs? After all, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had done this before, which forced Gao Yao to be vigilant at all times whether the other party would jump over the wall and take risks.

It is not easy to defeat the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's sufficient combat experience makes all his combat intentions seem to be clearly understood by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. In such a situation where the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, if we want to win, we can only take them by surprise, that is, make careful arrangements without letting the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan notice, and at the same time create an illusion that he has won. In this way, there may be a chance to win by surprise and break the deadlock.

The bait was Gao Yao himself. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, in the eyes of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, it was easy for an army of 200,000 to annihilate an enemy army of 30,000 to 50,000. If they found a place that was relatively unfavorable for the Southern Border Army to perform, this would give the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan a chance to boldly let his soldiers start the pursuit.

This was the time when Gao Yao's ambush troops were deployed. He used a small number of soldiers to directly attract most of the imperial army, and then immediately annexed the defenders on both sides of Heilongkou. In this way, he could gain a local advantage on the battlefields of these two places. Heavy rain was not Gao Yao's plan, but it did provide some assistance to Gao Yao. The weather in the southern border changes greatly because of the mountains and forests, and the evaporation is relatively large. In just a dozen minutes, it is possible for the sky to change from clear to cloudy.

The fact that the roads inside the Black Dragon's Mouth are not suitable for cavalry does not mean that the roads outside are not suitable for cavalry. Although the rain still has a great impact on the road surface, it depends on who is doing it. The war horses of the Black Armor Army are almost all excellent horses that have undergone a long period of training and have horseshoes. Even if the roads are muddy, the impact on the war horses is not great. It just slightly affects the speed of the war horses' charge. However, this impact is actually completely negligible.

"Shoot!" In the blink of an eye, Ying Bu led the fearsome black-armored army like a black whirlwind and rushed to a place only a few dozen meters away from the camp. At this moment, the imperial soldiers in charge of defense woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly pulled the bowstrings and shot sharp arrows at the galloping enemy. However, at this moment, the wind and rain were whistling, and the big raindrops fell mercilessly on the archers and the bows in their hands, making their vision blurred and the accuracy of archery was greatly reduced, which was shockingly low.

In addition, the lightning-fast speed of the Black Armored Cavalry made it even harder for the arrows to hit the target. A rough estimate showed that the hit rate of this round of arrow rain was less than 30%. What was worse was that the Black Armored Army was extremely well-equipped. The armor they wore was extremely hard and could effectively resist most of the arrows. Unless the arrows happened to hit the vital parts, they could not cause any substantial damage to them.

Ying Bu himself was even more fearless and brave. He squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse under his crotch neighed, and instantly accelerated, rushing towards the camp gate like a black lightning. When he was close to the gate, he suddenly threw his hand, and a cold and shining barb flew out of his hand, flying straight towards the heavy wooden camp gate like a meteor. Then, many soldiers who followed Ying Bu in the charge also followed suit and threw out their own barbs. For a moment, dozens of barbs drew arcs in the air and then accurately grabbed the wooden camp gate.

Then, a dozen black-armored soldiers quickly turned their horses around, tightened the reins, and drove their horses backwards with all their might. With a series of dull sounds, the seemingly solid camp gate was slowly opened a crack.

“Crunch, crunch…crunch…”

After the thick rope was suddenly tightened, it took only a short moment for the extremely solid camp gate to be forcibly pulled open! At this moment, countless sharp arrows shot out from the black-armored soldiers like raindrops, flying straight towards the approaching imperial army.

At the same time, a large number of well-trained black-armored soldiers quickly took out their shining crossbows and launched a fierce attack on the enemies rushing in front without hesitation. Compared with the process of drawing the bow and aiming and shooting, the hand crossbow has a huge advantage in shooting with a hand raised at a relatively close distance.
