After receiving Cao Liang's order, Zhang Tong led the Jinqi Battalion to Shiting as soon as possible. In fact, in terms of time, when Zhang Tong received the order, it was when the Wu army divided the troops and changed course. Zhang Tong was even farther away from Shiting than the Wu army.

However, the advantages of the cavalry were fully utilized at this time. Even if it entered the steep mountain roads in the Tianzhu Mountain area, which was not conducive to the cavalry's movement, the Jinqi Battalion still arrived at Shiting one day earlier than the Wu army.

Although Shiting is in the territory of Wu, Zhang Tong didn't care about whose territory it was here at all. His destination was Shiting. Anyone who dared to stop him would be killed without hesitation.

However, the area leading from Xiaojin to Shiting is basically on the border between the Wei and Wu countries. Due to the dangerous terrain and inconvenient transportation, neither side did not station a large number of troops here, but only sent some checkpoints. The Jinqi Camp advanced all the way, without any resistance, and went straight to Shiting without any obstacles.

Although Zhang Tong didn't know whether Wu Jun would take the Shiting Road, he didn't leave any preparations he should have.

Because the area of ​​Shiting is connected by mountains and lakes, the terrain is complex and is not conducive to the cavalry's large-scale combat, Zhang Tong decisively decided to retain some of the cavalry, and most of the other troops chose to abandon the horse and infighting battle, first seizing the most favorable terrain in the Shiting area and building layers of defense here.

After all, Zhang Tong was a famous general. He was familiar with military books and combat strategies since childhood and was familiar with the methods of marching formations. Although he led a cavalry, he was still an elite infantry force with great combat power after dismounting. What's more, the Wei army now has a good geographical advantage. If the Wu army really had to pass by here, Zhang Tong would definitely be confident that he would intercept them.

Although the Jinqi Battalion is not a archer and cavalry like the Yueqi Battalion, it is not a simple light cavalry like the Xiaoqi Battalion. They are more like a mixed cavalry, so in terms of weapon equipment, they are the most complete. Each cavalry is not only equipped with a spear and a sabre, but also a bow and a pot of arrows. Some of the cavalry are equipped with crossbows, so even if they really have to fight infantry blocking battles, the Jinqi Battalion can still be fully competent.

One day, Zhang Tong was very calm when he came to set up defenses. When the Wu army brigade rushed over from the stone, the Jinqi Camp was ready to defend himself and prepared for defense.

Seeing the Wei army's ambushing everywhere, the Wu army soldiers were shocked and looked like earth. What they feared most along the way was to encounter the Wei army's ambushing, but from Lu'an to Jiashi, they finally had no danger along the way, but when they came to Shiting, which they thought there was no problem, they actually encountered the ambushing of the Wei army.

Commander Zhang led his army to kill, showed his formation in front of the mountain, blocking the Wu army's breakthrough path. Sun Gan, who was cutting the way forward, dared not fight with him at all, so he could only stop from a distance and send someone to report to Sun Yan.

When Sun Jing heard that there were a Wei army ambush in Shiting, he was immediately indifferent and at a loss. He didn't know what to do. He looked so arrogant before, but now he immediately became listless and his momentum disappeared.

Before arriving at Jiashi, Sun Feng was indeed uneasy, afraid that the Wei army would intercept it halfway. Since he arrived at Jiashi, he felt much more at ease, thinking that there would be no more trouble when he returned to the territory of Wei. Even when Sima Yi urged him to march earlier, Sun Feng was a little impatient, thinking that Sima Yi was too cautious. Since he had returned to Wu, there was no reason to be afraid of the Wei army anymore.

But just when Sun Jing thought he could arrive in Wancheng smoothly, he was shocked at Shiting. He was completely confused at the time and hurriedly asked Sima Yichang: "Zi Zheng, there is an interception before and a pursuer behind him, what should we do?"

When Sima Yi heard that Shiting had an ambush from the Wei army, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Shiting had an ambush, which meant that his suspicion plan was completely failed. In order to lure the Wei army to have Xiaoyaojin's army, Sima Yi specially sent Zhang Ling to lead 20,000 Wu soldiers to Xiaoyaojin, and put up more flags, prepare more war drums, and bluffed, just to create an illusion that the direction of the main force of the Wu army was Xiaoyaojin.

Although this trick of concealing the world cannot hide the Wei army for long, Sima Yi's imperative is such an effect. As long as he delays for one or two more days, it is enough to calmly retreat from Shiting to Wancheng. When the Wei army discovered that the Wu army heading to Xiaoyaojin was just a partial army, it was too late and it was too late to stop it.

But the Wei army was obviously not deceived, and the ambush that came out of Shiting proved this. Otherwise, even if the Wei army received the news that the Wu army divided the troops, it would not have been possible to rush to Shiting to intercept them in such a short time.

Unless the Wei army made preparations in advance and mobilized troops from Xiaoyaojin to Shiting, there would be enough time to set up defenses.

Sima Yiqiang thought his strategy was already quite outstanding, but he didn't expect that he was finally discovered by Cao Liang. He lost all the game after a better move.

Faced with Sun Jin's inquiry, Sima Yiqiang showed a bitter smile on his face. What else can he do now? He can only fight. If he can fight a path of blood, they still have a chance to escape. If he can't break through, he can only sit back and wait for death.

After all, the pursuers are behind him now, and the Wu army has no chance to turn around. Sima Yiqiang said to Sun Jing: "The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, but now they can only fight."

Sun Chen had no choice but to order the Wu army to launch an attack on Shiting's Wei army with all their might, and at all costs, he would break out of a gap.

The order was given to Sun Gan in the front. Although Sun Gan had already lost his courage, he had no way out at this time, so he could only pluck up the courage and rushed towards Shiting.

Zhang Tongyi saw the Wu army rushing over the mountains and fields, laughed and immediately ordered the Wei army to shoot arrows and block the Wu army in front of the mountain.

The Wei army occupied all the favorable terrain and was drowned. The arrows were like rain. The Wu army rushed to the front of the mountain and fell to the ground one after another. Once they died, they were a large area.

However, Sun Gan was shouting hard at the back to supervise the battle, urging the Wu army to move forward and launch an attack regardless of casualties. Now it is no longer a matter of how many people are killed. If the bloody battle can be successfully broken through, it is worth it to die more people. But if the breakthrough fails, I am afraid that all the Wu army will explain it to Shiting.
