As time went by, Fu Qian became more and more impatient, because Fu Qian knew that there was not much time left for him to attack. Although there were no other Wei troops within fifty miles, but fifty miles away or one hundred miles away?

The Wei army lit the beacon on the top of the mountain. There was no doubt that they informed the Wei army dozens of miles away in this way. In other words, after receiving the beacon, the Wei army's reinforcements would set off soon and run towards Yangping Pass.

With the speed of the Wei cavalry, such a distance of dozens of miles is nothing, and it can be reached in less than half a day.

In other words, the time left for the Shu army to attack was only about half a day. The Shu army launched a fierce attack from the third night in the middle of the night. It was almost dawn, but there was no progress at all, which undoubtedly disappointed Fu Qian.

Since Fu Qian decided to attack, he must have been fully prepared for combat, and at least 80% of the time he was sure to take down the Wei army. Otherwise, Fu Qian would not have sent troops easily.

But the plan will never keep up with the changes. Even though Fu Qian had made sufficient preparations before and had calculated all the difficulties, this time, he still kicked on the iron plate.

Although the Wei army had not many people, only three thousand people had become a tough bone to crack. The Shu army put all their strength into a round of strong attacks, but it was still difficult to move forward. The Wei army's position was there, just like a solid wall of iron. No matter how hard the Shu army tried, it could not shake a single point.

During this night, the Wei army did not know how many crossbow arrows it shot, and the Shu army only heard the sound of whistling arrows and rains in their ears, endlessly.

It was only after dawn that they could see clearly that the entire slope up the mountain was densely filled with arrows, almost completely covering the mountain.

Fu Qian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There were at least hundreds of thousands of arrows. An army of 3,000 people could pour out hundreds of thousands of arrows in the middle of the night. No wonder the Shu army could not attack. With such dense arrows, even the gods could not penetrate it!

The Wei army had only 3,000 people, and could actually shoot hundreds of thousands of arrows. On average, each Wei soldier had at least dozens of arrows. It was hard to imagine that the Wei army had so many arrows reserves.

Moreover, this was just an arrow shot by the Wei army, so how many arrows there were still in the Wei army's hands that had not been shot, Fu Qian could not guess at all.

Wen Yang prepared quite sufficiently this time, with normal standard configurations. The crossbow soldiers had 100 crossbow arrows and fifty arrows. If there were more, it was not just that there were no one, but that it was too heavy and inconvenient to carry, which would affect the speed of the cavalry.

But this time the defense battle was not high, and Wen Yang was just looking at the power of the crossbow, so the more arrows were better and better in the equipment. Wen Yang even borrowed all the crossbow arrows from other units. When the front troops arrived at Yangping Pass to call the battle, the arrows were secretly transported to the earthen mountain for storage.

Therefore, during the battle, the Wei army did not consider whether there would be a shortage of arrows. Their task was to efficiently shoot out all the arrows in their hands, and the reserved arrows were piled up there in bundles, so there was no need to worry about not enough.

Prepared and without any trouble, the Wei army had strong logistics supplies. Wen Yang rushed to Yangping Pass and did not have to consider the issue of food, grass and weapons, nor did he have to consider the issue of time. This time, the Wei army also carried at least millions of arrows. Even if they fired them all the time, it would not be possible to use up these arrows in a day.

So in this battle, the Wei army did not have to consider saving things at all. What they had to do was shoot out as many of these arrows as possible, effectively killing more Shu army, and not giving Shu army a chance to get close.

Yueqi Battalion is a long-range army. They are best at using crossbows. What they are most worried about is to fall into melee battles. Yueqi Battalion's close combat ability is relatively weak. Once the Shu army rushes up the mountain and the two sides fall into a melee, the situation will inevitably be unfavorable to Yueqi Battalion.

Therefore, Wen Yang tried to block the Shu army at all costs, so as not to give them the opportunity to rush to the top of the mountain, and avoid falling into hand-to-hand combat.

Wen Yang was very clear about the strengths of the Yueqi Camp, and knew the weaknesses of the Yueqi Camp. What he needed to do now was to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, to play to the strengths of the Yueqi Camp as much as possible, and to use crossbows and bows to block the Shu army from the Wei army's positions.

As long as the Wei army can hold on for about half a day, the situation will immediately reverse as soon as reinforcements arrive.

And this half day is also the most difficult time. Only by trying your best in Yueqi Camp can you have the possibility of perseverance.

The attack of the Shu army was also extremely fierce. Under the command of Fu Qian, the Shu army launched a tide-like offensive. Although the Shu army suffered casualties in order to attack, many bodies of Shu army lay across the hillside, this could not stop the attack of the Shu army at all. The Shu army continued to launch waves of attacks higher and higher, and rushed towards the top of the hillside again and again.

But the Wei army's crossbows were so powerful. Hundreds of crossbows were pouring down from the top of the mountain like a storm. The heavy rain of metal made the Shu army unable to breathe.

The Shu army attacked again and again and again and was repelled by the Wei army. As time went by, the sky was brighter again, and soon it was time to rise eastward. There was not much time left for the Shu army.

Fu Qian knew that the Wei army's cavalry was rushing towards Yangping Pass with all their might, and they were rushing around day and night. Even if the Wei army's marching speed would be limited at night? But after dawn, the Wei army would definitely speed up. With the speed of the Wei army's cavalry, I believe it will not take long to get here.

The Shu army was unable to take the Wei army camp in the middle of the night. This was a complete failure for Fu Qian. Originally, Fu Qian had already carefully planned everything. In his opinion, eating 3,000 Wei soldiers with 15,000 people was a completely suspense-free battle, and the Shu army could handle it easily.

However, the Wei army's combat effectiveness was far beyond Fu Qian's imagination. It was already incredible that they shot hundreds of thousands of arrows overnight. The Wei army was really rich and powerful. The Shu army was also equipped with crossbows, but the shortage of arrows made them stretched to use crossbows and could not fully exert the power of crossbows like the Wei army.
