Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, the Zhaowu army wantonly shot and killed the Qi army below.

The soldiers who attacked the pass were almost completely killed and wounded, and only a few dozen escaped by chance.

Zhang Yanxia and the others, who were watching the battle from a distance, were shocked in their hearts, how

could this be the case when the Zhaowu Army had been prepared for a long time? On the way, they had not met the Zhaowu Army at all, so why was they discovered by the other party?

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, and they could not figure out what link had gone wrong.

"It's damned!" Wang Lu scolded angrily, and he didn't know who was scolding.

He Taohan said hurriedly: "General Zhang, now is not the time to hesitate. It is estimated that it will not be long before more Zhaowu troops will arrive here. At the moment, either storm the pass here, or take other roads into Shu. "

Kill it!" Zhang Yanxia said sharply.

A large number of Qi soldiers carried ladders and rushed towards the pass.

The general of the Zhaowu military camp was wise, standing on a high place, looking coldly at the enemy army below, without the slightest panic.

In fact, the Zhaowu army here did not have many troops, only more than 700 people. However, the position of this pass is dangerous, with cliffs on both sides, and only one road in the middle, about seven zhang at the widest point and less than two zhang at the narrowest point.

Fang Caizhi secretly said, if it weren't for someone from Nanjiang County who came to report two hours ago, maybe the Qi army might really succeed. He was not afraid of the Qi army here, what he was really worried about was the sudden retreat of the Qi army.

This is nearly 100,000 Qi troops, if you can leave them here before the reinforcements arrive, it will be a great achievement, and it is heartwarming to think about.

The Qi army had been storming for an hour, with hundreds of dead and wounded, and almost no one could storm the wall.

Seeing that they could not attack for a long time, the generals became more and more anxious.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the last general is worried that the Zhaowu army will go around to the rear of our army. If it is not captured within two hours, the whole army should immediately retreat. He Taohan said.

Xia Baiyang asked, "Where to retreat?" "

Naturally, take other roads to enter Shudi." He Taohan said.

"What if there are Zhaowu troops on the other roads?" He

Taohan's face sank, "What do you mean by this? We have worked so hard to get here, how can we give up halfway because of this difficulty." "

Shut up for me!" Zhang Yanxia said angrily.

Xia Baiyang's expression was bitter, "It's definitely not the last general's cowardice, because our army's deeds have been discovered." The day after tomorrow, a large number of Zhaowu troops will be killed. The general really wants to fight to the death with the Zhaowu army in this lofty mountain range?"

"Although the terrain here is unfavorable to me, it is also unfavorable to the Zhaowu army. Zhang Yanxia had a faint hunch that if he withdrew this time, it would be difficult to have another chance to enter Shu in the future. The extermination of Li Zhao is even more far away, and this is unacceptable to both him and Qi Guo.

Zhang Yanxia stared at the front, "Keep fighting!"

Wang Lu personally led the troops to rush and kill, and as soon as he climbed the ladder, several crossbow arrows attacked him, and he hurriedly jumped down to dodge. I rushed a few more times, but I never rushed up.

This time, the Zhaowu army did not use a longbow and switched to a new type of repeater, although the range was shorter, but it could shoot more arrows in the same time.

In order to inflict greater damage on the enemy, the Zhaowu army threw a large number of fierce fire oil canisters below.

The middle part of the road is not wide, and there are dense Qi troops standing. As soon as the oil tank was lit, many people suddenly caught fire and rolled back and forth on the ground, which was very miserable.

Some of the ladders were also burned, and the soldiers on top were unable to advance or retreat, and finally fell to their deaths below.

The number of ladders in the army is limited, and it will take some time to build from scratch.

Seeing this, Zhang Yanxia's face was extremely solemn.

Another hour passed, and the Qi army was still unable to attack.

A large number of oil canisters smashed to the ground, flames erupted, and some surrounding vegetation was also ignited. In order to avoid the fire, the Qi soldiers attacked more and more difficult.

He Taohan couldn't help but say: "There is only one road here, and the Zhaowu army occupies a high place, it is difficult to break through it in a short time, and it is not good for our army to fight for a long time."

Zhang Yanxia secretly sighed, "Order to withdraw the troops!" The

Qi sergeant was reluctant to fight, but when he heard the order to withdraw the army, he immediately ran to the rear.

At this moment, Fang Caizhi suddenly opened the gate, and the Zhaowu army shouted murder and rushed towards the Qi army.

Sergeant Qi was caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos.

The Zhaowu army advanced rapidly, slashing and killing, and then due to the lack of troops, and the Qi army had gradually restored order, it retreated into the pass in time.

According to post-war statistics, the Qi army lost nearly 2,000 soldiers, and Zhang Yanxia's face was pale.

"Nanjiang County is no longer advisable, and the last general suggested going west, attacking Wangcang County at the southern foot of Micang Mountain, and entering Shu from here. He Taohan said.

"Hmm. After

arranging Wang Ludian, the Qi army shifted the direction of the march overnight.

At noon the next day, Han Zhiyuan arrived with 5,000 Zhaowu troops. Knowing that Zhang Yanxia had withdrawn elsewhere, without saying a word, he led his troops to chase the Qi army.

In addition to Han Zhiyuan, Li Zhaoqin led 50,000 Zhaowu troops, with Chen Zhe, Song Jun, Chen Lu and others, and was about to arrive in Bazhou.

After the Black Ice Terrace agents found out that Zhang Yanxia had left Hanzhong, they immediately sent the news to Chengdu.

Li Zhao never believed that Zhang Yanxia would leave honestly, so he stationed a large number of troops in Mianxian, Langzhong, Bazhou and other places.

A man in the mountains was killed by the Qi army because his wife and daughter were killed by the Qi army, and he quickly informed the Nanjiang County government of the incident.

Only then did Li Zhao know the approximate location of the main force of the Qi army, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. He was not afraid that the Qi army would have many soldiers, but he was just worried that the Qi army would enter the plains.

Less than a year after the Zhaowu army came to Shu, most of the heroes surrendered on the surface, but their hearts were still towards the Qi country. It's not impossible to do something outside of the grill.

Now that we know where the Qi army is, things are easier to handle.

Li Zhao strengthened the surveillance of Haoqiang on the one hand, and led his troops to meet the main force of the Qi army on the other.

..................................................................................................

Han Zhiyuan, as a native of Shu, knows the terrain of the mountains far better than Zhang Yanxia. He also took this advantage to the limit.

The Zhaowu army hurried all the way, and in the evening, finally caught up with the Qi army.

Han Zhiyuan, who had few troops, did not rush to attack the Qi army, but followed closely behind, looking for fighters.

Zhang Yanxia soon found the Zhaowu army behind him, and his heart sank, and he had a strong premonition that more Zhaowu troops would soon arrive here. So he ordered Wang Lu to lead 10,000 troops and attack Han Zhiyuan's department.

Han Zhiyuan saw the Qi army attacking and retreated in an orderly manner.

The Qi army chased for three miles, but never caught up with the Zhaowu army. When he returned with his troops, the Zhaowu army posted it again.

Wang Lu was annoyed and continued to chase after the Zhaowu army.

Han Zhiyuan retreated again until he found that the distance between Wang Lu's department and Zhang Yanxia had been opened at least six miles;
