For Wang Ping, there is no room for error in this battle, because failure to regain the front mountain position means that the Xingshi defense line has collapsed. The back mountain position alone cannot stop the Wei army.

Offensive.

For Xiahou Ba, this battle also had no room for error. Because of Cao Liang's fire, the Wei army easily captured the front mountain of Xingshi Mountain. If the position was lost in Xiahou Ba's hands, then Xiahou Ba would

Ba will undoubtedly become a sinner.

This battle is equally important to both sides, so both sides are going all out and don't dare to slack off at all.

The battle unfolded in this ashes, and the gray dust kicked up by soldiers on both sides was almost like a rising sandstorm, covering the sky and the sun, and it was difficult to distinguish anyone within a hundred steps.

However, this does not seem to affect the fighting between the soldiers on both sides. The Wei soldiers are wearing Chu yellow military uniforms, while the Shu army is wearing red military uniforms. The two sides are highly identifiable and will not be confused because of the dark light.

Don't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

The two sides fell into a hand-to-hand combat. Long-range bows and crossbows could not be used, and they could only use melee weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. Because the two sides fought fiercely, the clanging sounds of weapons clashing could be heard constantly.

A sudden scream.

People kept falling down. On the battlefield, there were corpses lying everywhere. The blood dyed the remaining ashes after burning black and purple, making it look very ugly.

Both sides continued to send more troops, and the scale of the melee was getting bigger and bigger. Before Guo Huai led his army into the battlefield, the Shu army had a certain advantage. The eight thousand elite soldiers led by Wang Ping were both in quantity and combat.

In terms of combat effectiveness, they are superior to the Wei army.

After the Battle of Jieting, Wang Ping served as a general against the invaders, commanded Shu's ace force Wudang Feijun, and achieved brilliant results.

Later, Wang Ping was promoted to the governor of Hanzhong, and the command of the Wudang Fei Army was handed over to Zhang Ni. When the barbarians in Nanzhong rebelled, Zhang Ni led the Wudang Fei Army to the south to quell the rebellion, and left Hanzhong.

Without the Wudang Feijun under his command, Wang Pingru lost his left and right hands. Later, Wang Ping mobilized his best soldiers, selected warriors from Lin, set up a separate camp, imitated the structure of the Wudang Feijun, and trained this group of 8,000 people.

The elite army is coming.

According to Wang Ping's original plan, these 8,000 men will not be easily used for the time being. These 8,000 elite troops will only be used when Liu Min's defense line in the front mountain is in crisis or Liu Yin in Golden City is besieged.

However, they did not expect that the Wei army would adopt a fire attack. Under the leadership of Liu Min, the Shu army in the front mountain could only be forced to retreat, causing all the dangerous points in the front mountain to fall into the hands of the Wei army.

Unable to do anything, Wang Ping led these eight thousand elite troops to go into battle in advance, just to regain the Qianshan position that he had just lost.

As soon as they went out to fight, these eight thousand elite soldiers were like tigers coming out of the forest. They rushed all the way and reached the top of the front mountain in one breath. Their momentum was so strong that it was difficult for the vanguard battalion led by Xiahou Ba to resist.

At this time, Yang Hu had not yet moved in to reinforce the troops, and the situation on the top of the mountain was very precarious, with the risk and crisis of falling. Fortunately, Guo Huai arrived with his troops and relieved the siege for a while.

Guo Huai's position was actually very embarrassing. He was originally the main vanguard of the Wei army and marched at the forefront of the entire army. However, after arriving in front of Xingshi Mountain, he remained stationary, preparing to watch Xiahou Ba's joke.

In Guo Huai's view, Xiahou Ba's attempt to conquer Xingshi Mountain with this small army was simply wishful thinking. Xiahou Ba would not be willing to give up without getting into trouble.

The previous plot was indeed as Guo Huai expected. Xiahou Ba's attack was unfavorable and he lost many generals. However, what Guo Huai never expected was that after Cao Liang arrived, he suddenly set Xingshi Mountain on fire.

Guo Huai originally continued to watch from the side with the attitude of seeing a joke, but this time the result surprised him. After Cao Liang set the fire, he actually set the entire Xingshi Mountain on fire.

.

The joke was not taken as a joke, but instead Guo Huai was left with a burden.

Guo Huai came with a destructive attitude towards this expedition and absolutely did not hope to succeed in conquering Shu. Therefore, even if he became the vanguard, he did not work hard and secretly made trouble for the active Xiahou Ba.

Extremely repressive.

But now that Cao Liang succeeded in setting the fire, Xiahou Ba took the lead in climbing the mountain, leaving Guo Huai in a rather embarrassing position. Although he did not want the battle to conquer Shu to succeed, as a pioneer, if he really had to do nothing, it would be difficult for him to express his gratitude to Guo Huai.

Cao Shuang came to explain.

Even if it was just a gesture, Guo Huai could no longer remain indifferent, so he could only set up camp and set up camp to watch the Xingshi Mountain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the top of the mountain, Guo Huai's army encountered a strong counterattack by the Shu army. Guo Huai could no longer retreat at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and rush to fight.

Guo Huai himself had no desire to fight, but he could not convey this spirit to his subordinates outspokenly. Therefore, even if the Yongzhou army was forced to fight, it would not be too cowardly.

With the support of the Yongzhou Army, Xiahou Ba's spirit was greatly boosted, and his determination to hold on to the top of the mountain became more firm. He became even more determined when fighting. He and the Shu Army were mutually attacking and defending, and tried their best to protect the top of Qianshan Mountain.

Being unable to attack for a long time is not good news for Wang Ping. The Wei army has assembled an army of 150,000. Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba led only the vanguard of the Wei army. Once the main force of the Wei army arrives on the battlefield, Shu will

If the army wants to counterattack Xingshi Mountain, the difficulty will become infinite.

No matter how difficult the battle situation was today, he still had to capture the front mountain, so Wang Ping made a desperate move and mobilized Liu Min's troops to attack with all his strength and give it a go.

The battle became more and more intense. The Shu army once again had the upper hand in numbers and frantically launched the most violent attack on the Wei army that had retreated to the top of Qianshan.

Wang Ping shouted as loudly as he could, and kept issuing orders to attack, until his voice almost became hoarse.

Guo Huai fought this battle half-heartedly and his will was not firm. Under the crazy counterattack of the Shu army, Guo Huai's army was retreating steadily. The only one who really carried the mainstay of the battlefield was Xiahou Ba's army.

Outnumbered and outnumbered, Xiahou Ba endured considerable pressure, and his troops suffered heavy casualties. Many Qutun soldiers were killed in battle. However, facing the Shu army coming like a tide, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and persisted, even half a step away.

Never retreated.

This was the last stand of the Wei army. If they gave up their position on the top of Qianshan, it would mean that all their previous efforts had been wasted.

Cao Liang also led his own soldiers to fight against the Shu army. Although Fang Bu was very skilled, his role in this chaotic army was very limited. At this time, the only thing Cao Liang could count on was
