As soon as the Shu army took action, Ma Long quickly got the news that the Shu army was heading south in large numbers. It seemed that this was about to escape!

This time the Wei army attacked Yinping, and the troops were divided into two groups. One was the Ruiqi Camp led by Ma Long, and the other was the Zuowei Camp led by Qian Hong. The two groups of men marched from Didao and Qishan Road respectively.

According to the prior agreement, Ma Long encircled the enemy in Dazhong in two directions, surrounded but did not attack, while Qian Hong led his army to go south directly, attacked the Yinping Bridge, and cut off Zhong Hui's retreat.

As the saying goes, snake hits seven inches, and Yinping Bridge is the seven inches of Zhong Hui. Ma Long led his troops to the Gansong Qiang Road. Perhaps Zhong Hui could not be afraid, but Qian Hong attacked the bridgehead, but Zhong Hui could not sit still, because once Yinping Bridgehead fell into the hands of the Wei army, the people and horses in the middle would fall into the Jedi.

Ma Long judged that if Di Zhong Hui received the news that the Wei army had attacked the Yinping Bridgehead, he would inevitably withdraw his troops from Dazhong. Even if he did not withdraw his troops, he would inevitably send some troops to compete with the Wei army for control of the Bridgehead.

Ma Long waited for such an opportunity. If Zhong Hui defended Dazhong, it would be flawless. After all, the Ruiqi Battalion was not good at attacking the fortress that the Shu army had been operating for a long time. The Ruiqi Battalion would definitely pay a great price.

Therefore, the Ruiqi Battalion has been holding its troops unmoved, just waiting for the Shu army to give up the opportunity to leave Dazhong. Ma Long also knew that this opportunity would definitely come. Therefore, after the Ruiqi Battalion arrived at Gansong and Qiang Road, although it did not launch an attack, it was always ready for battle and could devote itself to the battle at any time.

As soon as Ma Long received the news, he immediately ordered the Ruiqi battalion stationed in the Qiang Road to prepare for battle. At the same time, he ordered people to convey the message to another part of Gan Song's garrison, allowing them to fight together.

After the Ruiqi Camp went to war, it was divided into two parts, one stationed in Qiang Road and the other stationed in Gansong. The two camps were about fifty or sixty miles apart.

If you use the method of sending messages from a fast horse at this time, you must first bypass the Dokan and go in a circle to reach Gansong. Even if the fastest horse is, it is difficult to notify Gansong's army in the shortest time.

Ma Long thought of a good idea in advance, that is, to use wolf smoke to send messages during the day and ignition to send messages at night. As long as the weather is sunny, the distance between fifty and sixty miles is completely visible.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the messaging, both wolf smoke and fire light have specific meanings. For example, one firework is defense, and two fireworks are attacking. At this moment, two wolf smokes are ignited at the same time, which is to inform Gan Song's defenders to attack immediately.

And after getting the information, the same wolf smoke will ignite to respond, indicating that you know.

The wolf smoke transmission was nothing new at all. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a way to communicate with the princes. In order to ensure the timeliness of sending messages, beacon towers were also built between various places, specifically used to convey urgent military information. This speed was much faster than that of Yima.

Langyan can only convey some simple news or agreed-upon good plans. It is just right for Ma Long to use Langyan to send messages at this moment.

After receiving the order, the Wei army on both sides took action immediately, quickly completed the assembly and launched a pursuit towards the evacuated Shu army.

The speed of the cavalry is indeed far better than that of the infantry. Although the Shu army is moving quickly, the Rui Cavalry Battalion is coming faster. Before the Shu army passes through Wuwangkou, the Wei army's cavalry roars, like a storm.

When the Shu army saw it, they were all shocked. If they were caught up by the Wei army, how could they have their fate?

But even if you escape, can you escape the cavalry at the speed of infantry?

Seeing this situation, Zhong Hui immediately ordered the entire Shu army to accelerate and head straight for Wuwangkou.

At this time, most of the Shu army had already passed Wujiekou. It had not passed the mountain pass yet, and it was just the troops behind it. However, they were not far from Wujiekou. As long as they worked hard, they still had hope to reach the valley entrance before the Wei cavalry caught up.

However, most of the Shu army did not know that Zhong Hui had arranged a team to support him here. Many people complained that no matter how fast he ran, what's the use of running faster? Can he be able to run past the cavalry?

But no matter how much I complained, they did not dare to disobey Zhong Hui's orders, so the Shu army could only accelerate their running and rushed towards Wujiangkou as quickly as possible.

The Shu army's deathly escape still played a role. When the last Shu army arrived at Wuwangkou, the Wei army's cavalry had already chased them to a place that was only more than tens of feet behind them. Seeing that the war horses were one step faster, they could catch up with the Shu army's rear team.

At this moment, countless Shu soldiers suddenly emerged from both sides of Wujiangkou Valley, and thousands of arrows were fired at the Ruiqi Camp like dense rain.

The Ruiqi Camp was caught off guard and the cavalry that rushed in the front were all shot into arrows. The Ruiqi Camp was not a garrison camp and could ignore all the attacks of arrows. The ordinary armor they were wearing was that of the lighter fish scale armor.

Fish scale armor is an armor woven with thin iron chains, dense like fish scales, so it is named Fish scale armor. The biggest advantage of Fish scale armor is that it is light and practical, especially when used by cavalry, which does not affect the movement of cavalry on horseback.

However, the fish scale armor is also an armor with relatively poor protection capabilities. After improving its applicability and lightness, the protection ability of the fish scale armor is much inferior to that of the plate armor.

Besides, the armor on the Rui Cavalry can only protect themselves at most, but the mount under the crotch is not able to withstand the dense rain of arrows. Therefore, after being attacked suddenly, the Rui Cavalry also suffered a lot of casualties. They hurriedly retreated and stayed outside the distance of an arrow.

At this time, it was not someone else who came out, but Xun Hong, who was arranged by Zhong Hui in advance at Wujiangkou. He set out first. Before the other Shu army arrived at Wujiangkou, Xun Hong was ready for battle.

The task of severing the rear was very arduous. Xun Hong faced the Wei cavalry who was good at speed and maneuvering, so even if they completed the blocking mission and wanted to retreat, they would not have the chance to escape.

However, Xun Hong came to guard Wuwang with the intention of dying. He knew that this was a disaster and life and death were unpredictable, but he still stood up without hesitation and died.

As a soldier, when he set foot on the battlefield, he should fight with the determination to die. Only in this way can he be worthy of the title of a soldier. Is there any difference in a person who dies, or dies on a sickbed or on a battlefield?

The most honorable thing is to wrap a horse in the leather.
