At the entrance of the Baoxie Valley, there were five thousand Wei troops in formation, which blocked Zhao Yun's 10,000 troops in the Baoxie Road. The contact point between the two sides happened to be the bell mouth of the valley. The Wei army could quickly replenish its manpower through the slightly spacious terrain, while the Shu army
But they could only watch the battle ahead on the long snake-like plank road, unable to catch up to support.
The favorable terrain offset the Shu army's superiority in strength. Zhao Yun, who had been fighting for his whole life, had no choice but to be patient and fight for the position at the mouth of the valley bit by bit with the Wei army.
However, he also knew that his task was to attract the attention of the Wei army. It would be better if he could attract more attention. If the Wei army was not fooled, it would be fate. Fortunately, Cao Wei was now surrounded by enemies on both sides, and his main force was in the southeast. His lure
Even if the enemy's mission is not completed perfectly, it will not affect Prime Minister Zhuge's actions in Longyou.
Cao Wei's western theater only had so many troops in total. Even if all the troops from Guanzhong rushed to Longyou, it would have no impact on the disparity in strength between the two sides. His mission, to be honest, was dispensable.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun was very disappointed, and also made Zhao Guang, who followed Zhao Yun into the battle, indignant. With this mentality, Zhao Yun did not need to approach the soldiers to fight desperately, so the battle continued unhurriedly, without stopping.
But it's definitely not intense.
When Wei Yan arrived at the mouth of the valley, although the sun was still hanging in the sky, both sides had already withdrawn their troops and were preparing to rest. After a day of fighting, no one was tired. The Wei army had become accustomed to the weakness of the Shu army and was in a relaxed mood. They were eager to complete their mission.
Very confident.
But they soon discovered that there was someone behind them to disrupt the situation.
Wei Yan only brought 4,000 soldiers. Facing 5,000 Wei troops, he took an offensive stance and even intended to drive them all out.
The Wei army was angry. They left 2,000 men to guard the entrance of the valley, and 3,000 men lined up with their backs, preparing to counterattack on the spot by relying on the favorable terrain. They immediately sent people to notify Xiwu to request rescue.
Wei Yan sneered at the Wei army's reaction. While he ordered to beat the war drums to notify Zhao Yun in the valley that he was coming, he sent 200 soldiers to form a death squad and launched a tentative charge against the Wei army.
Two hundred warriors lined up in two sagittal formations several steps apart, holding shields and holding ring knives tightly, and quickly approached the Wei army. Although there were two hundred of them, they cooperated tacitly and acted in unison, even while running,
The formation did not spread out, but like a double-headed arrow that could deform and bend, it quickly rushed towards the Wei army.
Behind them, the covering crossbowmen began to fire together, and arrows flew over their heads, making a whooshing sound, like locusts flying in the sky, and plunged into the Wei army's formation. The Wei army could not bear to show weakness, and while fighting in the formation
A shield formation was set up in the front line, and they fought back with bows and crossbows. The arrows from both sides met in the air, and then separated again, and shot into the opponent's formation. When they hit the shields in the hands of the soldiers, they made random noises like exploding beans. There were a few
After the arrows collided, they landed on the heads of the soldiers, but they didn't pay attention at all. They only saw the Wei army's shield formation getting closer and closer.
Within a hundred steps, the Wei army's crossbows began to unleash their power, and the crossbow arrows roared out of the shield formation and pounced on the Wei soldiers who were forming a formation.
"Disperse!" the leader of the army roared. The arrow-shaped formation suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers in front began to run wildly. The crossbow arrows flew past them and penetrated deeply into the shields. Some even broke through the shields and penetrated into the shields.
The strong force in the bodies of the warriors knocked the running warriors to the ground. Some even lost their footing and fell off the cliff next to them. However, the other warriors didn't care about this at all. They just flew with their shields.
Run until you are hit by a crossbow arrow.
Crossbows are powerful, but their firing speed is also slow. When soldiers rush to the front of the formation, the Wei army only has one chance to shoot. In order to avoid this problem, both the Wei army and the Shu army will use the three-round shooting method to fire as many times as possible.
High shooting density. After three rounds of arrow shooting, more than 30 of the 200 soldiers who charged for the first time were shot to death. The remaining people rushed to the front of the formation and regrouped under the command of the military lord.
A sharp giant arrow hit Wei Jun's shield.
"Kill!" the Shu army roared, charging forward, raising their swords high, and then lowered them like lightning.
"Kill!" Wei Jun roared, the sword and shield hand squeezed the shield with his shoulders, and the spear hand held the spear with both hands and thrust it out from the gap in the shield.
Those who can become death squads are those who are highly skilled in martial arts and fearless of death. From the moment they go out into battle, they have only two choices, either to die in front of the battle and their families can enjoy generous pensions, or to break through the enemy's formation and survive.
Go back, accept generous rewards, be promoted and make a fortune. The soldiers of the Wei family do not need the guards to hold down the battle, because they have no idea of escaping from the battle, not only for the lives of their parents, wives and children, but also for the glory. Wei Yanhou raises his soldiers, and the soldiers are willing to work for him
Working hard, no one is willing to be a deserter and bring shame to the head of the family.
There was a loud "boom", and the two warriors at the front were stabbed by spears, and blood spurted out. However, they were not afraid and continued to rush forward, allowing the spears to pierce their bodies and hit them hard.
He opened the shield in front of him, rushed in front of the spearman, swung his sword, and chopped off the stunned spearman's head with one blow. He took another step forward with the bloody spear, opened his arms, and hugged
He followed a Wei soldier, roared, and rushed down the cliff.
The Wei soldiers were horrified and screamed. The screams echoed in the valley, echoing in the hearts of every Wei soldier, making them shudder.
The soldiers of the Wei family were not afraid. They did not even take a look at Paoze who fell off the cliff. They just seized the opportunity that Paoze created with his life, followed the small gap in the Wei army's shield, and rushed in, slashing and slashing.
Kill and avenge Pao Ze with the enemy's blood.
The strength of the Wei family's soldiers surprised the Wei army. Before they could react, the soldiers broke through the first line of defense. More than half of them were killed or injured. The remaining soldiers were shocked and retreated. Although the soldiers were covered in blood,
, but with high morale, they quickly changed formations. Those who had just been fighting in the front stepped aside, and those behind who had not yet engaged in battle quickly added to the front and rushed towards the next blocking formation of the Wei army.
The fierce soldiers were so powerful that they broke through the three lines of defense of the Wei army at the cost of more than a hundred casualties and rushed to the front of the Wei army's main formation.
Seeing the Wei soldiers standing like bloody men, the morale of the Wei army dropped greatly. They had fought with the Shu army in Baoxie Valley for so many days, and they had never seen such a desperate and powerful Shu army. Look at the seven soldiers behind them.
In the scattered blocking position, looking at their comrades lying on the ground wailing, all the Wei soldiers felt a chill coming from the back of their heads, as if the Shu soldiers standing in front of the formation were not human beings, but murderous gods from the underworld.
The Wei army was in panic, but Wei Yan accurately seized the opportunity. He quickly sent a thousand soldiers to attack the Wei army's main formation.
Facing the fierce Shu army, the Wei army had no choice but to beat the war drums and summon up the courage to fight.
Accompanied by the exciting sound of war drums, the two sides fought at the entrance of Baoxie Valley. However, one side had strong morale and was pressing forward step by step, while the other side had low morale, was tired of coping, and had no strength to fight back.
Zhao Yun, who was in the valley, heard the sound of war drums outside the valley. He was very cautious and did not launch an attack immediately. While he asked the soldiers to prepare for the battle, he also had people climb up the rocks and look at the battlefield outside the valley entrance. He did not know at all that it was
Who is fighting the Wei army? Could it be that Zhuge Liang has captured all of Longyou and sent people into Guanzhong?
The soldiers who climbed high and looked into the distance quickly sent him back the news: the people fighting the Wei army outside the valley were the flags of Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei.
Zhao Yun was shocked, exchanged glances with Deng Zhi who hurried over, and shouted in unison: "Wei Yan?"
Wei Yan was a surprise soldier arranged by Zhuge Liang. Zhao Yun and others knew nothing about it. They always thought that Wei Yan was tired of Wei Ba and was still farming in Nanzheng. When they heard that Wei Yan appeared outside the valley, they were surprised and happy.
If it was really Wei Yan, with his bravery and attacking from both inside and outside, it would not be difficult to capture these 5,000 Wei troops. What was surprising was that they did not know whether Wei Yan's arrival here was Zhuge Liang's arrangement, or Wei Yan's own actions.
If it were anyone else, he might not dare to do this, but who is Wei Yan? He is an unreasonable person. As long as he thinks it is right, he will do it. He has a strong army to back him up, even if Zhuge Liang doesn't give it.
He has the strength to act on his own, but as for the outcome, that is not within his consideration.
No matter how Wei Yan came, since it was confirmed that it was Wei Yan and not Wei Jun's trick to lure the enemy, Zhao Yun immediately ordered an attack. Zhao Guang led 500 soldiers and took the lead in charging towards Wei Jun.
Zhao Guang, who had been feeling aggrieved for too long, was inexplicably excited when he heard this. He led his five hundred soldiers and rushed out of the camp like a gust of wind. He raised his spear high and screamed: "Kill -"
The Wei army was already panicked and frightened by the force of the Wei soldiers, and the formation was on the verge of collapse. Now Zhao Yun ordered an attack again. The Wei army was attacked from both sides and collapsed in a short time. Some of them threw down their weapons and knelt on the roadside, while some went up the mountain.
Climbing away, many people jumped off the plank road in panic, threw themselves into the fast sloping water, and fell on the jagged rocks, screaming one after another.
The war ended when the moon hung on the treetops of Dongshan. Through the chaotic battlefield, General Zhendong and General Zhenbei of the Shu Han Dynasty met victoriously. The general of the Wei army, holding his head and kneeling on the ground, looked at the two Shu generals chatting and laughing, and secretly lamented.
He said: "I am truly honored to be flanked by two of the most adept generals of the Shu Han Dynasty!"
Zhao Yun took Wei Yan's arm: "Chang Wen, how did you get here?"
"Come from Ziwu Valley."
"Ziwu Valley?" Zhao Yun was surprised, and even more suspected that Wei Yan was sending troops privately, his eyes tightened.
"General Zhao, you don't have to worry." Wei Yan was in a good mood. Facing this veteran general he had always admired, he laughed loudly, "I was ordered by the Prime Minister to send out surprise troops, and I did not act without permission. General Zhao, clean up and hurry up.
Come with me to Xiwu, your useless disciple has prepared a banquet and is waiting for your arrival in Xiwu."
Zhao Yun was surprised and happy: "Ziyu?"
