Hearing that the Wei army was attacking Dongfuling, Li Zhao suddenly had 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart.

His original plan was to defend the cottage and let the two armies of Wei Qi fight. When the two sides are almost finished, the Zhaowu army will come out again to clean up the mess and seize Hanzhong.

Unexpectedly, before the two armies of Wei and Qi went to war, the Zhaowu army actually fought with the Wei army first.

After thinking about it for a while, I guessed that this matter might be related to Zhou Wen.

Regarding Zhou Wen, Li Zhao's heart is still complicated. Instinctively felt that he was not a pure villain, and could not guess why he betrayed him. In the early days, Li Zhao relied heavily on Zhou Wen and Liu Xuan, and the two made a lot of contributions. Liu Xuan's position was not firm enough, but Zhou Wen secretly contacted Wei Guo. This Wei army's raid on Dongfuling should have been Zhou Wen's suggestion.

But Zhou Wen made a mistake, there were 4,000 Zhaowu troops on Dongfu Ridge, and it was Shen Ning who led the troops to garrison Dongfu Ridge.

Earlier, Yang Zhi and Qi Jingyun used various methods, but they still couldn't defeat Shen Ning, and in the end, Shen Ning took the initiative to surrender. Zhou Wen and Shen Ning don't have much contact, and Shen Ning has always been low-key, so he doesn't know Shen Ning's skills.

Li Zhao decided to continue to stand still, and in order to prevent being broken by each one, he took the initiative to give up some small cottages.

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

Under the Dongfu Ridge, Wei General Huang Song looked coldly at the Zhaowu Army in the distance.

Huang Song is Huang Jinyun's nephew, and he originally didn't want to come to Dongfuling. In his opinion, even if he defeated these mountain bandits, he would not have much great feats, and Huang Song only had the Qi army in his eyes.

But Huang Jinyun told him that the Zhaowu Army should not be underestimated. If the Zhaowu army harassed from the sidelines, the Wei army would not be able to concentrate all its efforts to defeat the Qi army. It is necessary to inflict heavy losses on the Zhaowu army first, and not give it the opportunity to interfere in the battle of Weiqi.

After defeating Dongfuling, he will also kill several other cottages of the Zhaowu Army.

After the whole army was ready, Huang Song ordered an attack, and he was to attack Dongfuling in half a day.

The archers of the Wei army, towards the Dongfu Ridge, first saw several waves of fierce arrow rain. Sergeant Zhaowu hurriedly raised his shield and did not suffer much damage.

Huang Song's brows furrowed slightly, and he ordered the foot soldiers to start attacking.

Shen Ning immediately ordered the crossbowmen to counterattack. Longbows, crossbows, and bed crossbows are all used. In an instant, dense arrows shrouded the Wei army's head.

Seeing this, Huang Song hurriedly shouted: "Raise your shield!" Many

Wei troops who were advancing were shot by arrows because they didn't have time to raise their shields.

The arrows of the Zhaowu army were fierce, and Li Zhao's training of crossbowmen was extremely strict, and he had to be assessed every week.

The arrow array did not stop for a moment, and even if the Wei army was protected by a shield, there were still people who were shot. And the giant arrows used in the bed crossbow can't be guarded against by ordinary shields at all.

The Wei army's attack was extremely difficult, and the Zhaowu army held the high ground and occupied a favorable position. Finally, a small number of Wei troops rushed to the heights, handed over short troops, and were driven down again.

The Wei army's continuous attack for an hour did not have much effect, and it suffered hundreds of casualties.

Huang Song was not a mediocre general, and immediately put away his contempt, realizing that the strength of the Zhaowu army was not weak, and it was difficult to win this battle easily.

Giving the order to stop the attack, the Wei army slowly retreated.

That night, the Wei army quietly approached Dongfuling. For the sake of concealment of his actions, Huang Song ordered every soldier to have a branch in his mouth. When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw that it was quiet on the Dongfu Ridge, and quickly attacked up.

Suddenly, countless torches lit up on Dongfu Ridge. A dense rain of arrows struck again.

Huang Song was shocked, the other party actually guessed that he would attack at night. Gritted his teeth, what could he do if he guessed it? How could the mountain bandits defeat our Great Wei Forbidden Army and order the whole army to storm Dongfuling.

Shen Ning's face was expressionless, looking at the battle in front of him, there was not much nervousness in his heart.

Although the weapons of the Zhaowu army were slightly inferior, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was not weaker than that of the Qi army, and they occupied a dangerous terrain, which was enough to hold Dongfu Ridge.

The tragic battle, from late night to early morning, the Wei army still did not attack Dongfu Ridge.

Shen Ning saw that the Wei soldiers were tired, and ordered the whole army to rush and kill.

Thousands of Zhaowu troops suddenly rushed down from Dongfu Ridge, shouting and killing. The Wei army was caught off guard and retreated again and again.

Shen Ning saw that the Wei army was killed and retreated, so he did not continue to pursue, and ordered the whole army to return to Dongfu Ridge.

Huang Song, who was watching the battle, looked nervous and stared at Dongfuling. He didn't expect that after a long battle, the Zhaowu Army would be able to launch a counter-charge.

The Wei army was killed and retreated, and the soldiers' fighting spirit was sharply reduced.

Even if Huang Song was unwilling, he still ordered the troops to retreat. camped three miles away from Dongfuling, and at the same time sent someone to inform Huang Jinyun in detail of the battle situation here.

In the following days, Huang Song did not give up attacking Dongfuling.

Various methods were tried, such as using foul language to insult and lure the Zhaowu army down the mountain, or sending people up the mountain to recruit the Zhaowu army and giving all kinds of promises, but Shen Ning ignored them.

There was also a time when it rained in the mountains, and Huang Song tried to attack in the rain, but was still repulsed.

For a week, no progress was made, and Huang Song was almost driven crazy.

I never thought that the war would be so difficult. And until now, he doesn't know the name of the enemy's commander.

This time when I came to Dongfuling, the Wei army did not bring much food, and it could last for five days at most. Five days later, if you still can't capture Dongfuling, you can only choose to withdraw your troops.

Huang Song regretted a little in his heart, he knew that Dongfuling was so difficult to fight, and he should have brought all kinds of weapons in the first place. This time, I didn't bring any rock-throwing trucks, oil tanks, etc.

Unlike the anxious Huang Song, Shen Ning and his wife Yang Yue were leisurely strolling on the mountain.

The husband and wife have a deep relationship, and even when the war situation is critical, Yang Yue often accompanies Shen Ning.

"Does the husband want to wait for the Wei army to run out of food and automatically withdraw the army?" Yang Yue asked curiously.

Shen Ning smiled slightly, "Dongfuling doesn't come when you want to, you can leave when you want.

"Does the husband want to go down the mountain and engage the Wei army?

"In the past week, the Wei army has far outnumbered our army in casualties. There is not much difference in the strength of the two armies today. Moreover, the Wei army has been unable to attack for many days, and the morale of the soldiers has been greatly reduced, but the morale of our army is booming. "

When is the husband going to send troops?"

"It's coming, just these days." Shen Ning's eyes were blazing, "This time, the battle is decided!" The

food in the army could not last for two days, and Huang Song launched a final attack on Dongfuling. This time, Huang Song personally put on armor and went into battle, braving arrows and charging forward. I hope to inspire my subordinates to conquer Dongfu Ridge in one fell swoop.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the result was disappointing, and the Wei army was driven down.

Huang Song had no choice but to announce the withdrawal of troops.

The Wei soldiers, when they heard the order to withdraw the troops, all showed joy on their faces, relaxed their vigilance, and prepared to return.

On the Dongfu Ridge, Shen Ning was dressed in military uniform, drew a long knife, pointed at the Wei army, and roared: "The whole army charges, kill the enemy!"
