Although the Shu army tried its best to launch an attack, the Wei army had endless arrows. As long as the Shu army approached within the range, the Wei army would mercilessly bombard it.

The overwhelming arrows made the Shu army's attack difficult. It was within the range of the Wei army's position, and they wanted to take another step, so they could only half-squat on the ground, lower their heads, and waisted, curled up behind the shield, and moved forward little by little.

Even so, there are still many Shu troops who will be shot and fall to the ground. After all, the protection area of ​​a shield is limited, so they can take care of the front but cannot take care of the side. When the Wei army shoots, they are not straightforward. Most of the time, they use diagonal crossing attacks. The archer on the left shoots back and the archer on the right shoots left, forming a cross-fire network.

Moreover, when the Wei army saw that the Shu army was almost all of them, they would use high-projection methods, that is, to raise the angle of the bow and crossbow. When ordinary crossbow soldiers use bows and arrows or crossbows, the angle of the projection is about thirty degrees, generally not more than forty-five degrees.

High ejection is an angle of more than 60 degrees, which is equivalent to shooting an arrow into the air, drawing a high and steep parabola to carry out a vertical strike. If the Shu army puts the shield in front, it is likely to be hit.

The Wei army's various attack methods formed a three-dimensional cross-fire network. The key is that the Wei army had so many arrows, almost saturated attack methods. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for the Shu army to penetrate this fire network.

Even if the Shu army put all their strength into practice, they still could not break through the Wei army's defense line.

Of course, this result was not beyond Fu Qian's expectations. After all, the Shu army had launched many attacks at night, but it was fruitless. Fu Qian could not expect another attack after dawn to break through the Wei army's defense line.

After dawn, the advantage is that the vision becomes wider, but this broader vision is not only beneficial to the Shu army, but is actually more beneficial to the defense of the Wei army. They can clearly see the forces and direction of the Shu army and conduct more targeted defense. So strictly speaking, after dawn, the situation is only more beneficial to the Wei army, but the Shu army is in a relatively unfavorable situation.

Now Fu Qian can only count on the Shu army that launched a raid from the east and west sides, hoping that they can bring some surprises and reverse the current unfavorable situation.

But the ending could only disappoint Fu Qian, because what he could have thought of, Wen Yang had long thought that the Shu army had just walked halfway up the mountain when it was intercepted by the Wei army. A rain of arrows hit him, killing the Shu army and running away with their heads in their arms.

In such a relatively steep area, it would be more difficult to attack one side. The Wei army did not need to send more troops. It only required a small number of crossbowmen to guard it, which would be enough to seal off all the roads forward of the Shu army.

Although these Shu troops were brave, under such terrain conditions, they wanted to climb to the top of the mountain and try to climb to the sky, in the end they could only force them to retreat and give up their plans to attack.

The sneak attack itself was to attack him unexpectedly, but now it seems that the Wei army is also defending closely on both sides, without any loopholes to get into. The Shu army has no other moves, so they can only choose to retreat.

After learning that the Wei army was defending tightly on the east and west sides, Fu Qian's face became increasingly ugly. For Fu Qian, it meant that his attack had completely failed. The Wei army was prepared for the Tushan Mountain, and Fu Qian's action this time was destined to return in vain.

But what made Fu Qian a little strange was that since the Wei army had been guarding against him for a long time, why did they deliberately act like a slack look? Is it just to just lead him out of the city?

The Wei army was indeed very powerful, and Fu Qian had to accept it, but it was impossible to defeat the 20,000 defenders of Yangping Pass with just three thousand people, even if you think about it with your toes.

So what exactly did the Wei army do? Fu Qian thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. If Wen Yang's three thousand men were to lure the enemy, the Wei army did not have any ambush within dozens of miles nearby. Even if they came from Dingjun Mountain or Seoul, no matter how fast they were, it would take time. Fu Qian didn't believe that they could fly over with their wings.

Even if they could come over quickly, Fu Qian would not be without any defense. In fact, while Fu Qian attacked Tushan, he had already sent mailers to watch closely at various intersections. Once there was any movement, he would report the information to Fu Qian to know.

Fu Qian would not give the Wei army a chance to surround him. As long as reinforcements arrive, Fu Qian has every time to withdraw to Yangping Pass. After all, it is only five or six miles away from Yangping Pass to Tushan. Moreover, Fu Qian had already made plans for retreat. As long as the reinforcements of the Wei army arrive, no matter whether they can take down Tushan or not, Fu Qian will take the initiative to retreat.

It is Fu Qian's responsibility to defend Yangping Pass. No matter whether he can succeed in attacking the Wei army, Yangping Pass must not be mistaken. Therefore, before Fu Qian left the city, he had already thought of a way out. Only by being foolproof can Fu Qian consider leaving the city. Anyone who has not met one condition or has any risks, Fu Qian will not leave the city easily.

The Wei army's operation really confused Fu Qian. Since they had no possibility of encircling and annihilation of the Shu army, what was the purpose of luring Fu Qian out of the city with such difficulty?

Could it be that the Wei army had any other conspiracy?

Although Fu Qian could not understand the reason for the Wei army to do this, the strong conspiracy revealed in the Wei army's actions still made Fu Qian feel very uneasy.

Fu Qian looked at the top of the Tushan Mountain, and the Wei army was still standing there, leaving no chance for the Shu army. On the hillside, there were many bodies of the Shu army. They were lying in the arrow forest, and each body was filled with dense arrows.

Logically speaking, when the Shu army retreated, these corpses should be brought back for burial, and these corpses should not be left in the wilderness.

But whether it is advancing or retreating, all the Shu army could only huddle behind the shield and move carefully. Once one more corpse is dragged, it is likely that it will be exposed to the attack of the Wei army's arrow rain and become a corpse.

At first, the Shu army also tried to take the corpse down as much as possible, but later they found that this method simply did not work and would only increase casualties. So they chose to give up when retreating. After all, it is more important to be alive and get people.
