Xiahou Ba quickly rushed to the front and saw Guo Huai sitting leisurely on a big stone, closing his eyes to rest. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Guo Governor, since you are the vanguard, why are you holding back? If you really don't want to attack.

, then simply get out of the way and let someone come!"

Guo Huai opened his eyes slightly, as if he was too lazy to talk to Xiahou Ba, and pointed at Xingshi Mountain behind him.

Xiahou Ba's attention was only on Guo Huai, and he really didn't pay attention to Xingshi Mountain. He followed Guo Huai's fingers and looked over. The knife couldn't help but was secretly surprised.

It was covered with the flags of the Shu army, and countless figures could be vaguely seen, with the light of swords flashing.

Looking at this posture, there must be tens of thousands of Shu troops on Xingshi Mountain.

Xiahou Ba was suspicious. Logically speaking, the entire Shu army in Hanzhong only numbered more than 30,000 people. How could they all be sent to Xingshi Mountain? Even if they knew that the Wei army was going to take the Tangluo Road, they had made arrangements in advance.

Department, but it’s impossible to empty all the troops in other places, right?

This is probably why Guo Huai hesitated to move forward. After all, as the attacking side, at least in terms of strength gap, there are more troops than the defenders. Guo Huai's vanguard camp has 5,000 troops, which is really not enough.

The number of troops led by Xiahou Ba was as much as that of Guo Huai, also five thousand. If Guo Huai retreated, Xiahou Ba's army alone would be too far behind.

But Xiahou Ba did not back down. As a vanguard, you must have the courage to advance despite difficulties. Even if the opponent is really strong and the vanguard camp cannot defeat this hard nut, this attempt is indispensable, at least

You can also find out the opponent's true and false situation and create conditions for the main force to attack the mountain.

Xiahou Ba really looked down on Guo Huai, a man who would wither when encountering difficulties. He looked at Guo Huai with disdain and said, "In that case, how about asking Governor Guo to make room for me and lead his troops to attack?"

Guo Huai immediately said hehe, since Xiahouba wants to hit an egg against a stone, let him try. Anyway, this guy will not look back until he hits the south wall, and will not shed tears until he sees the coffin. As his subordinate before, he was just unruly.

He is tame and rarely has the habit of obeying his superiors. Now that the status of the two of them is equal, Xiahou Ba has become more and more arrogant. In order to make him suffer, I really don’t know his last name.

Guo Huai didn't bother to argue with him and immediately ordered his troops to move aside to make way for Xiahou Ba's men.

Originally, the valley road was not very wide. Even when it reached the exit from the valley, it was not necessarily much wider. Guo Huai's vanguard camp was already like a long dragon lying across the road, occupying most of the road and blocking the following troops.

.

At this moment, Guo Huai ordered the road to be vacated, and the vanguard had to move as far as possible to the roadside. Fortunately, this was the location to exit the valley. Although the road was not wide, at least there were no cliffs. The vanguard camp moved and squeezed, but still gave way to half of the road.

There is a road that can allow Xiahou Ba's troops to pass.

Xiahou Ba immediately ordered the team to be pulled up and reached the foot of Xingshi Mountain.

Although Xiahou Ba boasted about Haikou in front of Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba did not lose his mind because of this. He led his troops to the foot of Xingshi Mountain and observed the geography very carefully.

Coming out of the mouth of the Tang Valley, we are basically at the bottom of the valley. Looking up at the mountains on all sides, all of them are high mountains rising straight into the sky. Originally, Xingshi Mountain was compared to the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, especially the main peak of the Qinling Mountains they had just climbed.

Taibai Peak is somewhat different, but because Xiahou Ba was at the bottom of the valley and looking up at Xingshi Mountain, he seemed to think that Xingshi Mountain was taller and steeper, towering into the clouds.

There are not many roads up the mountain, and the Shu army seems to have blocked these roads long ago. Xiahou Ba is familiar with the art of war, and naturally knows that such combat conditions are extremely unfavorable, but if he turns back at this moment, he will definitely be attacked by Guo

Huai laughed at it, so Xiahou Ba had to give it a try.

So Xiahou Ba ordered his generals Zhao Li and Fang Kai to lead a thousand troops and launch a tentative attack on Xingshi Mountain.

Stationed at Xingshi Mountain was Liu Min, the guard of the Shu army. He was appointed by Wang Ping to set up defenses at Xingshi Mountain to stop the Wei army. Since Liu Min only had six to seven thousand men, Wang Ping specifically asked Liu Min to bring more flags and flags.

The military uniforms were planted with flags all over the mountains and hung on the branches. Looking from a distance, they looked not much different from real people.

Wang Ping used bluff to put psychological pressure on the Wei army. Flags were planted all over the mountains and plains, but the real troops did not need to be stationed on the entire Xingshi Mountain. They only needed to set up ambushes at dangerous places along the mountain road.

Zhao Li and Fang Kai led their troops to attack Xingshi Mountain. They carefully held up their shields and pushed forward slowly along a relatively wide road. They all looked around and walked heavily, for fear of suddenly rushing out.

Send the Shu army to come and give them a head-on blow.

Just when they arrived at the mountainside, they suddenly heard shouts and shouts. The Shu army's ambush troops came out. Suddenly, arrows rained down on the Wei army.

The Wei army was caught off guard, and the soldiers at the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. When the soldiers behind saw the Wei army charging out, they quickly put up their shields for protection. Random arrows hit the shields, making a popping sound, and the Wei army

He barely managed to protect his vital points and walked with difficulty despite the rain of arrows.

The random arrows didn't work, so the Shu army immediately used rolling logs. Each rolling log several feet long whizzed down from the top of the mountain. The Wei soldiers who were climbing halfway up were unable to dodge or dodge.

, was struck by a rolling log and was either killed or injured.

At this time, the shield could no longer play any role, so Wei Bing had no choice but to hide towards the roadside, but there were cliffs on the side of the road, and he would fall if he lost his footing.

Rolling logs are almost a must-have weapon for mountain defense. A big tree can be cut down to make a log. These logs are quite heavy and require at least a dozen strong men to lift them.

But its power is quite astonishing. The thicker the rolling log, the more powerful it is. It can roll down from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, sweeping and crushing all the way, and those who hit it will die.

The greatest power of the bow and arrow can only hurt one person, but the rolling log is a mass-injury weapon. Even more people can't block its whereabouts. Wherever it passes, blood is dripping, waiting for it to roll to the bottom of the mountain.

By then, the entire rolling wood was already stained with blood and almost dyed red.

There were more than one rolling log like this, and the Shu army threw them down one after another as if they didn't want money. A huge roar resounded throughout the valley. Seeing that the situation was disadvantageous, Zhao Li and Fang Kai could only retreat with their troops in embarrassment, and brought them up with them.
