The Wei army has been following the fire. As soon as the fire subsides, they will immediately move forward and take over the land that has been ravaged by the fire.

Although they were already approaching the Shu army's camp, because the fire had not been extinguished, no one expected that the Wei army would launch an attack at this time. For a moment, they were caught off guard and were killed by Wang Ping.

Wang Ping held the spear in both hands, with a murderous look in his eyes. He shouted loudly, rushed to the Shu soldier closest to him, and stabbed decisively with the spear, leaving a trace on the Shu soldier's body.

There was a transparent hole.

Wei Bing seemed to be intimidated by Wang Ping's momentum, which was too fierce. He jumped out of the fire, like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, with great momentum.

What's even more frightening is that Wang Ping alone crossed the line of fire, and behind him, countless Shu soldiers rushed towards him like a hurricane, like mercury pouring down the ground, and they were unstoppable.

The Wei army did not have many soldiers on the front line, only a few hundred. Facing the torrent of thousands of people, they were invincible. Even if they saw that the situation was not good and wanted to turn around and flee, they found that the Shu army

The movement speed was much faster than them, and before they could take a few steps, they were overtaken by the torrent of Shu army and swallowed up.

The Shu army is good at mountain warfare. This is not just a casual comment, but an ironclad fact. The Shu army is slightly superior in terms of combat experience and marching speed.

On the contrary, the Wei army, which was more adapted to fighting on the plains, was very uncomfortable with the bumpy mountain roads. Even when running, they were easily knocked down.

The vanguard of the Wei army, which consisted of several hundred people, was swallowed up by the Shu army in just the blink of an eye.

Wang Pingping showed a ferocious look, holding a spear high in his right hand and shouting loudly: "Kill"

"Kill! Kill! Kill..." Everyone in the Shu army shouted, and their momentum was like a rainbow, like a flood that bursts its embankment, surging and unstoppable.

Xiahou Ba's position was not too far from the front line. The Shu army suddenly launched a counterattack. It seemed a little unexpected. After all, the fire in front had not been extinguished. The Shu army actually stepped out of the fire and charged all the way.

.

Xiahou Ba immediately organized an army to resist, drew his sword, and rushed to the front line himself.

Thanks to Xiahou Ba's example, the momentum of the Wei army also rebounded. The Wei army, which was originally in a state of defeat, also cheered up again, followed Xiahou Ba closely, and started fighting with the Shu army.

Xiahou Ba didn't take a few steps before he met Wang Ping head-on. At this moment, both sides were already furious. One was holding a spear, the other was holding a sword, and they were fighting together.

These two men are both battle-hardened tiger generals. Although they abandoned their horses and fought on foot, the fight was still extremely exciting. The two men fought back and forth with all their might, showing no mercy with their spears and swords.

The killing was indistinguishable.

Cao Liang and Yang Hu and Du Yu were both on the top of the front mountain at the moment. They could see the battle happening here clearly and at a glance. Yang Hu saw Xiahou Ba trapped in the enemy's army and fighting fiercely with the enemy general.

He couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that Xiahou Ba would make a mistake, so he drew his sword and prepared to step forward to help.

Cao Liang grabbed him and said, "If you go alone, it's just a drop in the bucket and you won't be able to help much. It's better to go back to the military camp quickly and bring in some reinforcements, or it might be difficult to resolve the crisis."

The troops killed by the Shu army this time were very different from those defeated by Liu Min. Presumably, they were also troops commanded by Wang Ping himself, so they were the elite troops of the Shu army.

Xiahouba's vanguard battalion had already lost a lot of people when it attacked Xingshi Mountain. Now there are only three to four thousand people left, and they are scattered widely. Although under the leadership of Xiahouba, they have united again.

Quite a few, but compared with the Shu army's seven or eight thousand men, Xiahou Ba's men and horses were still far behind.

Seeing that the situation with his father-in-law was critical, Yang Hu wanted to rescue him, but Cao Liang believed that Yang Hu himself did not have high martial arts skills, and stepping forward at this moment was not much different from sending death.

Therefore, Cao Liang suggested that Yang Hu immediately return to the camp to mobilize reinforcements. The situation on the battlefield is no longer controllable by Xiahou Ba's vanguard battalion.

Yang Hu thought about it. The Shu army's counterattack was now quite strong. If Xiahou Ba's vanguard battalion could not resist the enemy and the Shu army retook Qianshan, then Cao Liang's fire would be in vain.

So Yang Hu hurried down the mountain. The sooner he could bring in reinforcements, the sooner he could relieve Xiahou Ba's crisis. Yang Hu did not dare to stop for a moment.

Cao Liang did not retreat. He ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle. Judging from the Shu army's offensive, it was estimated that they would attack here soon, so Cao Liang had made up his mind to defend the top of Qianshan.

The importance of the top of the mountain is self-evident. If the Shu army captures this place, all the previous efforts of the Wei army will be in vain, including the fire that destroys everything. The Wei army will have to reorganize its army and capture Xingshi Mountain again.

Such a result will definitely not satisfy anyone.

Therefore, guarding the top of the front mountain is the most basic bottom line for the Wei army. This bottom line must not be given up easily.

More and more Shu troops crossed the line of fire, and Xiahou Ba was under increasing pressure, so he had to give up the battle with Wang Ping, and led the Wei troops to retreat and resist, gradually moving toward the top of the mountain.

Retreat from the side.

Although there is a ravine between the front mountain and the back mountain, the gap is not too big, and it is far from as steep as the one from the mouth of the Tang Valley to the Xingshi Mountain. The Shu army walked on the mountain as if they were walking on flat ground, so this not-so-deep road was

Gouliang didn't pay attention at all. He rushed all the way and soon approached the top of the mountain.

At this time, the vanguard battalion led by Guo Huai finally arrived too late. It is estimated that even Guo Huai himself was too embarrassed to stay at the foot of the mountain. He led his army up Xingshi Mountain, just in time for the battle.

Although the army led by Guo Huai was not very motivated, it was more valuable because of its large number of people. The five thousand soldiers and horses had suffered almost no losses before, so with their addition, the Wei army easily repelled the Shu army's attack.

.

Wang Ping was not willing to fail, and launched one round of offensives towards the top of Xingshi Mountain. After repeated attacks failed, Wang Ping had no choice but to throw Liu Min's army into it again, and made a desperate move.

Give it a try.

Because Wang Ping knew that these two Shu armies were the vanguard, and the two vanguards were enough for them to drink a pot. If tens of thousands of Wei troops came forward, it would be very difficult to regain the lost Xingshishan position.

extremely difficult.
