The Xue family army sent this time had a total of more than 12,000 people. Although the night attack on Gaojibo was successful, more than a thousand people were lost. Liu Ya's surrender added more than a thousand people, and After ten days of hard fighting, the Xue family's army had suffered losses of nearly three to four thousand men. In addition to the sentries of more than a thousand people stationed on the shore, the Xue family's army remaining in the stronghold had less than eight thousand men. Xue Wanche had only It was possible that less than 3,000 men could be gathered, and Xue Wanshu couldn't wait any longer. He could only lead these 3,000 men and horses and drive out of the camp with Xue Wanche. They had to get ahead of Xia's army and block the way from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. The only channel, only in this way, can we buy time for Xue Wanshu to burn the grain and grass.
It's just that it's not easy to get to the bottom of the mountain in time. Just getting halfway up the mountain, they encountered three groups of enemies. Fortunately, these enemies were only a few hundred people. With Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanche's ability, coupled with his nearly 3,000 men, easily defeated these obstacles, but it also delayed the speed of going down the mountain. By the time they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the entrance to the mountain road was already occupied by a group of people. Xia Jun was blocked.
Seeing this situation, Xue Wanshu's expression changed, but he immediately calmed down. His eyes flashed with cold light, but his steps did not stop. He shouted while running: "Fourth brother, let's go,"
"Okay," Xue Wanche, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, didn't even know what fear meant. Hearing his elder brother's words, Xue Wanche also shouted, his eyes also showed an excited look. He jumped down from the steps of the mountain path, leaped over his eldest brother's head, and landed firmly in front of Xue Wanshu. Then, with another jump, he rushed directly towards the Xia Jun who was waiting at the entrance of the mountain path. He shouted: "Thieves, your grandfather Xue family is here,"
In fact, the Xia army blocking the mountain pass did not just arrive here, but a group of troops that Wang Xiongshu and Ling Jing left behind when they went down the mountain. The purpose was to block the Xue Jiajun's way. Originally, they thought The Xue Jiajun on the mountain did not come down so quickly, but they did not expect that not long after Wang Xiongxi and the others left, the Xue Jiajun rushed over. Seeing a man falling from the sky, the two generals did not think so much and raised the spears in their hands. Get ready to go forward and fight.
When Xue Wanche jumped into the air and saw someone coming to fight, the excitement on his face increased a lot. He shouted loudly, raised his painted halberd with both hands and swept it towards the two generals below. The two generals had just raised their spears to meet them. When they came up, they heard two crisp sounds, and the two spears broke in response. The two generals were immediately startled, but before they could turn around, Xue Wanche was already firmly on the ground. Landing in front of them, he waved the painted halberd in his hand and immediately cut off the two generals in front of him.
"Ah, General Zhang and General Zhao are both dead." Seeing that their own generals didn't even take one of the opponent's moves and ended up being cut into pieces, the Xia Army soldiers blocking the back were immediately restrained. After all, the Xia army's fighting qualities were pretty good. Although their morale plummeted, they did not collapse immediately and could barely maintain their formation.
But this is only temporary. Xue Wanche doesn't care which one is General Zhang or General Zhao who dies in front of him. He just rushes forward. The halberd in his hand is like chopping melons and vegetables. Everything in his way The Xia Army soldiers in front of him all died miserably under his painted halberd. If that was all, it would be fine. Then, Xue Wanshu led another three thousand soldiers and rushed down in one breath. Cooperating with Xue Wanche, there was no trace of anything. Hua Qiao rushed directly into Xia Jun's formation and started a fight.
The generals of the Xia army were dead, and the number of soldiers was less than a thousand. Although the intersection was blocked by the other party, the Xue army charged from top to bottom. On the terrain, the Xia army did not take much advantage. Soon, the battle ended with the Xia army being wiped out.
Xue Wanshu, who was covered in blood, coldly cut off the head of the last Xia Jun, but looked at the high bank of the river in front of him. He saw the fire there reflecting the sky, and could faintly see the shadows of many ships that had docked. , it seems that the river bank has been occupied, and Xue Wanshu's eyes also showed a trace of heartache. Those are a thousand soldiers of the Xue family army, and each soldier is the hard work of the Xue family. If I had known this, I would have sent those only soldiers tonight. The remaining 1,000 surrendered troops were sent to guard the area.
It was too late to regret now. Xue Wanshu knew that although he successfully occupied the mountain pass, it did not mean that the battle was over. On the contrary, the real battle had just begun. Seeing that large numbers of Xia troops had begun to come ashore, Xue Wanshu did not dare to If there was any further delay, he immediately issued an order for a thousand soldiers to stand on the rocks on both sides with bows and arrows in hand, while the remaining two thousand soldiers blocked the mountain pass and formed a formation to prepare for battle.
"Brother, look," at this time, Xue Wanche, who was beside him, looked back, his eyes lit up, he pointed at the cottage on the hillside and shouted, and Xue Wanshu also immediately looked back, and happened to see behind him On the top of the mountain, the fire was soaring into the sky, which was the location of the granary behind the village.
Seeing this scene, Xue Wanshu immediately felt happy, and Xue Wanche also smiled and said: "Great, great, the second brother successfully lit the granary,"
"Fourth brother, don't take it lightly." Although Xue Wanshu was also ecstatic in his heart, he quickly calmed down. He knew that with the fire, those Xia troops would definitely rush to the mountains to save their food and grass, and what they faced here was The pressure will become greater and greater, but Xue Wanshu also strengthened his confidence and must try to delay the enemy's time to go up the mountain.
"Don't worry, brother." When it comes to fighting, Xue Wanche has never been afraid. He immediately held the halberd tightly with both hands, stretched out his tongue, licked his lips, and said with a smile: "I'm here, Dou Jiande." Those rabble under my command have no chance of passing through here,"
Xue Wanche was so confident that Xue Wanshu also smiled and said nothing more. The men of the Xue family were not greedy and fearful. Immediately, Xue Wanshu also stepped up his defense to delay the opponent as much as possible.
Not long after, the Xia army had indeed rushed to the mountain pass. The leader was not the general Wang Xiongshu, but the two generals of the Xia army, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian. Both of them were generals under Dou Jiande, although they were smaller than the generals. Wang Xiongshu was not as brave as Wang Xiongshu, but he could be regarded as a strong general in the army. The two of them were the first to attack the river bank defense line. Seeing the huge fire on the hillside, they guessed that the Xue family's army was burning food. They also knew the importance of food and grass. Sex, then he hurried over.
Seeing that Xia Jun had rushed to the mountain pass, Xue Wanshu waved his arms without saying a word. For a moment, countless arrows flew down from the rocky slopes on both sides of the mountain pass, and instantly landed in the Xia Army's formation. There were countless screams.
"There is an ambush." Previously, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian were only rushing to the mountain stronghold and did not pay much attention. In addition, it was dark at the entrance of the mountain pass. They really did not notice the Xue Jiajun blocking there, so they fell into an ambush. However, After all, the two of them were generals in the Xia army. When they saw an ambush, they immediately shouted and stopped the advance of the soldiers behind them. At the same time, Cao Zhan waved the sword in his hand and shouted: "Where are the archers? Fight back, fight back." ,"
There were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian, and there were also many archers among them. After hearing Cao Zhan's words, those archers also quickly came out, bent their bows and arrows, and counterattacked towards the mountain. However, the Xue Army's archers were all hidden in the darkness. Even if the Xia Army's archers wanted to fight back, they could not find the target. They could only shoot arrows blindly towards the mountain. As for whether they could hit the target, God knows. .
"Cao Zhan, this can't go on like this," Gao Yaxian shouted to Cao Zhan next to him while waving his steel gun to shoot down the arrows, "Let's just rush forward. We can't delay it any longer."
Cao Zhan also saw that the fire behind the stronghold was getting bigger and bigger, and knew that if he continued to drag it out, even if he captured the Gaojibo, it would be useless when all the food and grass were burned out, so he immediately nodded vigorously and agreed. Immediately, the two of them also gave orders at the same time, asking the infantry to step forward with weapons in hand and rush forward despite the rain of arrows.
But during this rush, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian discovered that the mountain pass was also very narrow, and could only accommodate more than ten people at a time. It was not that easy for an army of nearly ten thousand people to pass through this mountain pass. It was easy, and seeing that the soldier who was rushing at the front had already entered the mountain pass, suddenly, several screams rang out, and a spear flashed out from the darkness inside the mountain pass, directly hitting the soldier who was rushing at the front. The Xia Army soldiers in front pushed back. Then, they saw two brothers, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, holding painted halberds in their hands. They killed the Xia Army soldiers in front of them in one breath. Xue Wanche shouted angrily: "Who else wants to come and die?" , come on, come on,"
"Damn it." Seeing that the food and grass in the village were about to be lost, a group of people jumped out in front of them to block the way. Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian were naturally very anxious. Cao Zhan cursed and clapped his horse forward. Holding a big knife, he rushed towards Xue Wanche, shouting: "Boy, don't be so arrogant, just take my knife."
"Hmph," Xue Wanche snorted coldly and took three steps forward. Every time he took a step, he would kill several Xia Army soldiers in front of him. When he finished taking these three steps, he would die in his painting. There were no less than thirty Xia Army soldiers under the halberd. At this moment, Xue Wanche had completely stepped out of the mountain pass. He turned the painted halberd in his hand, which simply drew a line around his body. Those unfortunate people All the soldiers of the Xia army within this limit were killed by the painted halberd. Xue Wanche once again thrust the painted halberd across his chest. Facing Cao Zhan who was charging towards him, he shouted loudly: "Thief general, come here quickly." To die,"
