"Kill -" A Wei soldier slashed down a Shu Han soldier with a sword, and then slashed twice to cut off the straw rope tied to the Ju horse. Several people worked together to lift the huge Ju horse crossbar and threw it on the
Then they swarmed in and attacked the Shu Han army's position.
When they destroyed the horses, the Shu Han army had withdrawn more than ten steps away. They fired arrows to block the attack and retreated to the ridge. The Shu Han soldiers on the ridge also stood up from their hiding places and raised their weapons.
The bow was hardened and the crossbow rained down bursts of arrows.
However, these arrow rains were far less intensive than in the past, and their counterattacks also lost the power of the previous days. The Wei army held up their shields and formed a loose formation, pushing towards the ridge step by step.
Guo Li was surprised and quickly ordered to stabilize his position. After more than ten days of fighting, he already knew that the person standing in front of him was not Wei Feng, but Wei Ba. He had also seen Wei Ba's defensive position and knew the strength of Wei Ba's troops.
Although there are not many, the position is very stable, and today's situation is obviously abnormal.
If something went wrong, there must be a monster. Guo Li did not dare to be careless, for fear of falling into Wei Ba's trick, so he rushed to the front of the battle to observe in person.
While carefully observing Wei Ba's position, he discovered a problem. Wei Ba's troops were obviously much smaller than the previous days. It was precisely because of this that the Wei army was able to break through Wei Ba's position and attack the northern troops of Shuanghuling.
Ridge. A rough estimate shows that the number of troops in Shuanghu Ridge will not exceed 500 at most.
Just when Guo Li was confused, he received the news from Guanqiu Jian: Wei Ba appeared at the gate of Shunyang City, and nearly ten thousand Shu Han troops were attacking Shunyang. Because of Wei Ba's appearance, the morale of the Shu Han army was greatly boosted.
.The attack is very fierce, please support Guo Li as soon as possible.
Guo Li suddenly realized that Wei Ba had gone to Shunyang City. No wonder the troops here were so thin. He regretted it. If he had known this, he would have launched a fierce attack earlier. Because he was worried about losing too much, he kept controlling the rhythm of the attack.
Dare to go all out. Wei Ba probably saw through this, so he left a small number of troops here as suspects to block the attack, and moved the main force to Shunyang City to support the battle.
Guo Li immediately sent out messengers to notify Guanqiu Jian and led his troops to advance rapidly. Even so, he did not dare to be careless. The terrain here was very conducive to an ambush. Who knew where Wei Ba would set a trap for him. Be cautious.
It's never too much.
Guo Li sent a large number of scouts to inquire around. It was not until he confirmed that there were indeed nearly ten thousand Shu Han troops outside Shunyang City, and there were no ambushes along the way, that he could move forward with confidence. Shuanghuling was only fifteen miles away from Shunyang City. Once
After making sure it was safe, Guo Li rushed towards Shunyang. When he arrived five miles east of Shunyang City, the Shu Han army stopped him again.
This time it was really Wei Feng. Five thousand troops, with flags fluttering, lined up on the mountain and stood in front of Guo Li.
After more than ten days of hard fighting, Guo Li lost more than a thousand men. Although he had cavalry, the terrain here was not suitable for cavalry assault, so he had to be patient and fight Wei Feng. Fortunately, he arrived here and forced Wei Feng to fight.
Even if the pressure on Shunyang is relieved. With the Shuhan army having less than 4,000 troops left, it is obviously not easy to attack Shunyang.
Guo Li set up his command platform on the hillside. Standing on the hillside, he saw another battle flag with the word Wei behind Wei Feng. It was the battle flag of Zhennan General Wei Ba. Wei Ba seemed to have no regard for Wei Feng.
Tai Zai was relieved, and Te Zai formed a formation behind him, ready to support at any time, but the Shunyang City in the distance had calmed down, and there was no sign of battle.
Guo Li arrived relatively quickly, and Wei Feng's position was prepared in a hurry. Unlike Wei Ba who prepared so many defensive horses and trenches at Shuanghu Ridge, this was a great opportunity for Guo Li. If he had waited a little longer, Wei Ba would have
If the wind is fully prepared, it will be difficult for him to attack.
Guo Li launched an attack and at the same time sent people to garrison Shuanghu Ridge to avoid being cut off by the Shu Han army. It was close to Junshui, and the Shu Han army's navy could ignore him and rush directly behind him.
The situation became unfavorable for the Shu-Han army. There was a fortified city in front of them and reinforcements behind them. The morale of the Wei army in Shunyang City was restored. Once they came out of the city to attack from inside and outside, the strength of the two sides was almost the same, and the war situation was likely to be reversed. So as soon as the battle started,
Guo Li launched a fierce attack. The two sides went back and forth, arrows flew across each other, and the killing was inextricable.
The cry of killing reached the top of Shunyang City. Guanqiu Jian took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the battlefield where the fighting was going on in the distance, and let out a long breath.
Wei Ba suddenly appeared at the gate of Shunyang City, which really surprised him. Although he only brought more than a thousand people, he had a great impact on the morale of both sides. In the minds of the soldiers of both Han and Wei, the young Zhen
The Southern General Wei Ba has become a legend. In just a few years, he defeated his opponents one after another in Guanzhong, Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou. Even the auxiliary general Lu Xun, who was very feared by the Wei army, was defeated by him.
In his hands, he fought openly and openly.
His reputation has surpassed that of Lu Xun, and he has become one of the enemies that the Wei army officers are least willing to face. When such a person comes to the city, the impact on the morale of the Wei army can be imagined. On the contrary, the Shu Han army was weakened by the arrival of Wei Ba.
Becoming enthusiastic, they set off a wave of attacks under the cover of thunder chariots and serial ballista chariots. The warships sailed all the way to Shunyang City, as if they were going to sail the warships directly to the top of the city.
Wei Ba's reputation, coupled with Wei Fengfei's extraordinary achievements in seizing Nanxiang City, the names of the Wei brothers alone were enough to scare people. Guanqiu Jian once doubted whether he could hold out until Guo Li's reinforcements arrived. Until he saw
Only when the Shu Han army that was attacking the city suddenly retreated and formed a formation five miles away did he feel relieved.
Guo Li finally arrived in time.
Under the protection of Yin Damu and others, Cao Yu hurried over and took a look at the battlefield in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhong Gong, when will we leave the city to attack?"
Guanqiu Jian put on his helmet again, fastened the chin strap carefully, and then replied: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Captain Guo said that his losses were not big, and he had two thousand fine cavalry, and there will be more in a short while."
The support can be sustained. Let him fight the Shu Han army first, and when both sides are exhausted, we will attack again. Besides, the soldiers have worked hard and need time to recover their strength before they can go out of the city to fight."
Cao Yu nodded in agreement: "What Zhong Gong said is true. It's getting late today, so we have a good night's rest. We will leave the city tomorrow, attack from inside and outside, defeat Wei Ba in one fell swoop, and then recapture Nanxiang."
Guanqiu Jian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's easier said than done. You see, after Wei Ba showed his battle flag, he became the highest general here, and he is the leader of the current position. Wei Feng blocked Captain Guo in front, and Fu Xing led
The navy is blocking the attack below the city, and Wei Ba is in the middle to provide support. If we go outside the city, if we cannot quickly defeat Fu Xing and entangle Wei Ba's central army, it will be difficult for us to coordinate with Captain Guo, and the final outcome will be unpredictable."
Cao Yu also sighed. The total number of troops on both sides was almost the same. The Wei army had the advantage of the city, but the Shu and Han army had Wei Ba, a famous general, in charge. The Wei army was indeed not sure of victory. In fact, the reason why Cao Rui sent Guo Li to support Shun was
Yang, because he was worried about Wei Ba. Otherwise, if Guanqiu Jian and his troops were to defend Shunyang, Nanxiang would have no problem at all, and there would be no need to send Guo Li again.
Guo Li and Wei Feng had a great battle, with no winner or loser. Both sides withdrew their troops and returned to their camps. Due to the terrain restrictions, the camps of both sides were not far apart. The sound of drums and horns could be heard. No one dared to take it lightly to avoid being taken advantage of by the other side.
.
In the main tent of the Shu Han Army, the three Wei brothers and four Fu Xing were sitting around the fire pond. An iron cauldron creaked on the fire, the soup became thicker, and the smell of fish filled the entire tent.
Wei Ba picked up his chopsticks, picked up a fish, put it in Wei Wu's bowl, and said with a smile: "Come, try the Danshui's famous red fish, and see if it smells like blood."
Wei Wu grinned in amusement: "It tastes good if it smells like blood." As he said this, he tilted his head and started to slurp the fish.
"They are all captains now, and they still have the same virtues as when they were young. When they have delicious food, they forget about etiquette." Wei Feng glared at him and greeted Fu Xing: "Zhong Jian, you're welcome, we are all from our own family.
Brother, come on, let’s eat.”
Fu Xing also picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and together they went to fish in the cauldron. While eating the fish, they discussed the situation of the battle.
"Ziyu, what do you think of the fight tomorrow? Should we eat Guo Li first, or should we eat Guanqiu Jian first and catch the big fish Cao Yu?"
"Two of them fight together." Wei Ba spit out the fish bones, turned his chopsticks upside down, and drew a sketch on the ground: "Look, the current situation is that Shunyang City is in the west, Guo Li is in the east, and we are in the middle. With our
The situation is favorable. Zirou's main force is in the east, resisting Guo Li head-on. Zhong Jian is in the west, defending Guanqiu Jian in the city. Zirou's troops are sufficient, and they should be able to entangle Guo Li and prevent him from advancing westward.
, so the most dangerous person is you, Zhong Jian. I believe that Guanqiu Jian will definitely attack your position as soon as he leaves the city tomorrow. Don't be too eager to fight. After a little blocking, you can retreat to the warship and go around to Shuanghu Ridge.
Cut off Guo Li's retreat and leave this place to me."
"Yes." Fu Xing nodded, picked up a wooden spoon, and gave everyone a spoonful of hot fish soup.
Wei Ba took a sip of the fish soup and continued: "I heard Xia Houxuan say that Guanqiu Jian is very ambitious. He now has four to five thousand people on hand. Even if some of them are left to defend the city, they will go out to fight.
There will be at least 3,000 people. He will definitely not be satisfied with defeating Zhong Jian, who only has 2,000 people. Next, he will target me."
"Ziyu, your army only has 1,500 men. Isn't that too few?" Wei Feng held a fish in his mouth and said vaguely, "How about I allocate another 1,000 men to you?"
"No, I'm afraid that there are too many people and I'll scare Guanqiu Jian away." Wei Ba chuckled, "Your task is to block Guo Li, and you must not let him move forward. Otherwise, once we reach the open area and let the horses run, we will
It’s really troublesome.”
"Then what do you do?"
"I will be fine." Wei Ba said confidently: "I know my guard camp well, and it will be no problem to deal with three or four thousand ordinary Wei troops. What's more, I also prepared a gift for Guanqiu Jian. Ah Wu..."
"I have a name now." Wei Wu said quickly: "My father gave me the name Zilie."
"Did you perform the crowning ceremony?" Wei Ba said in surprise, "When did it happen?"
