In the south of the Hei Niyuan, there is a tropical rainforest with high and low surfaces. The Dulong River runs through it.

In the early years, there were human habitation activities on both sides of the Dulong River, and cut down trees and burning wasteland. Therefore, the rainforest here cannot be called a dense forest. Although large groups of people cannot pass through, it does not prevent small groups of people from passing through it.

Relying on the shore of the Dulong River, there was a road that was obviously cut down by humans. At this time, the Zhuluo army retreating south was winding forward on this road, like a winding giant snake. In the river, more than a dozen warships were also sailing downstream in an orderly manner.

Galava was mounting on a battle elephant in the central army, and was drowsy. A sharp roar came from the forest, awakening Galava. When he heard this sound, the generals of Zhuluo were shocked. Many of them knew this sound - it was the arrow used by the Liang army scouts.

Before Galava could speak, dozens or hundreds of arrows shot out from the forest. With the sound of the puff arrows entering the flesh, the Zhulu soldiers fell down one after another. These arrows were heavy arrows shot out from the longbow, and no matter what armor the Zhulu soldiers were wearing, they would be penetrated by the heavy arrow. The only exception was the bamboo armor nearly an inch thick on the battlefield elephant.

"Ambushes, there are enemies in the forest!", "Hurry up and organize the shield wall!", "Find some people to rush into the forest, hurry!" Zhu Luo's soldiers recovered from the panic and shouted.

"Swish---Peng", with two consecutive sounds, a heavy arrow shot unbiasedly on the head of the Galava war elephant. The tail of the arrow was still trembling. Immediately afterwards, the elephant soldiers who were driving the elephant on the Galava war elephant were also penetrated by heavy arrows and fell head-on, which made Galava very frightened.

Some Zhulu soldiers, holding shields and holding blades, began to touch the depths of the forest. The arrows that were shooting finally stopped. When the Zhulu soldiers who were searching in the forest came out of the forest, Galava asked and found out that they had not even seen each other's personal figure.

Galaw thought to himself that this must be a small enemy unit who went around the rear to harass our army, attempting to delay our withdrawal speed.

Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Transfer our military orders and ignore the harassment of small enemy troops. The entire army accelerates its advance and quickly breaks away from this forest. The warships in the river water patrol repeatedly along this section of the river bank to cover our evacuation!"

With the issuance of the Galava military order, the "giant python" of the Julu army suddenly increased its squirming speed and fled southeast.

But at this time, the Segu Sulfur Mercenary Group, whose escort formation was broken, could not speed up. Because they were bitten by hundreds of Liang's scattered soldiers, they needed to stop from time to time to disperse the enemy and then go back to the road. In this way, the main force of the Zhuluo army was getting wider and wider.

On the Dulong River, more than ten Juluo warships were patrolling back and forth on the river near the marching formations as Galava ordered.

Suddenly, they found that layers of sail shadows were exposed in the sky above the Dulong River, and hundreds of Liang army Viking ships were chasing down the river. General Zhu Luo, who was commanding this small fleet, tightened his heart and his pupils suddenly searched.

"The soldiers are on the deck and prepare for battle!" He shouted loudly, and then more than a dozen warships lined up in a row and rushed towards the Liang army fleet.

When the two fleets were less than a hundred battles apart, the soldiers on the Zhuluo warship found that something was wrong. They found that many wooden barrels were floating on the river. These wooden barrels were also connected in strings by rope, so they were easily hooked on the hull.

"What the hell are these? There must be ghosts here! Use a spear to pick them out." Commander Julu on each warship issued the same order.

At this time, dozens of Liang longbowmen suddenly flashed out in the forest on the other side of the Dulong River. They used their longbows to cast rockets at these Zhuluo warships, or more accurately, at the wooden barrels floating next to the Zhuluo warships.

With a dull sound, a wooden barrel was first shot by a rocket and exploded, and then the fire rose into the air. The side of the Zhuluo battleship, which was close to the barrel, burned in an instant.

In fact, it was not the burning of the ship's side, but the naphtha in the wooden barrel splashed onto the ship's side. In addition to the ship's side, even the surrounding water surface began to burn.

In the stunned silence of the Zhuluo soldiers and generals on the warship, one wooden barrel after another exploded. Not long after, the entire river surface became a sea of ​​fire, and more than a dozen Zhuluo warships were trapped in this sea of ​​fire.

The people on the deck cried and wailed in panic. After a while, the ship's side, the deck, and the sails all started to burn. The Zhulu soldiers on the deck jumped into the torrents of the Dulong River.

Galava had already learned of this situation, and his only response was to make the horse accelerate its march and flee south. He knew very well that after the destruction of this dozen warships, the soldiers of the Liang army could easily cut off their retreat with the help of waterways. Only before that could he let the army escape from this group of forests can he avoid being besieged by the Liang army between the forest and the Dulong River.

Sure enough, the hundreds of Viking warships, after passing by the remains of the burning Zhuluo warship, landed on the banks of the Dulong River. As soon as they landed, they arranged military formations, built fortifications, and cut off the passage along the river.

But at this time, Galava's main force had already passed here, so their target of sniping could only be the Segusulfur Mercenary Group that was cut off.

...

Segu Yi didn't know the war on the river, he only knew that he was getting further and further away from Julu's main force.

While marching, he suddenly saw a scout of his army, covered in blood, stumbled into the marching queue. As soon as he arrived in front of him, he fell to the ground. The armor on his back was inserted with two feather arrows, and he didn't know how deep the arrow was in the flesh.

Seguxian personally examined the scout's injuries and shouted loudly: "He is dehydrated, please get him some water for him to drink, and treat him with the wound."

After the scout was filled with two mouthfuls of water, he recovered. He became clear-headed and said intermittently: "The passage is open in front...the passage is cut off by the enemy. There may be ambushes in the forest!"

After hearing this, Segu Yi seemed to have been caught by something. Immediately afterwards, another personal soldier stepped forward to report: "General, the enemy troops in the rear are catching up again, less than five miles away..."

Before the personal soldier finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud. A three-foot-long arrow shot through his helmet and inserted it into his temple. The remaining arrows also shot densely from the forest. The mercenaries immediately raised their shields and lined up shield walls on the side facing the woods.

Fifty other mercenaries rushed into the forest, and they were like the previous Zhu Luo soldiers and found nothing. However, this also proves that the Liang army's ambush could not stop the mercenaries in the forest.
