Xiahou Ba knew that the situation was urgent, so he set off immediately after accepting the order.

Before leaving, Xia Houxuan and Cao Liang saw him off. Xia Houxuan expressed his worries. For the two armies, this battle is more important to Shu than to Wei. If they cannot win the watershed, the Wei army is in danger of being completely destroyed.

, you can imagine how heavy the burden is on Xiahou Ba’s shoulders.

However, Xia Houba is very heroic. He has experienced several hard battles in this battle of Hanzhong. The more difficult the situation is, the more it stimulates his fighting spirit. Xia Houba said that no matter what, he will fight to the death.

, and never give up until the goal is achieved.

The Tangluo Road was narrow and the 50,000-strong Wei army could not move forward at all. They could only file in and meander forward. When the vanguard of the army arrived at the watershed, the following troops had just left the momentum. The army was in the valley of the Qinling Mountains.

In the middle, it is like a long dragon, winding and twisting.

Looking at the watershed from a distance, the Shu army has set up camp on the top of the mountain. It is unclear how many Shu troops are on the mountain, but first of all, the terrain of the watershed is already daunting.

One ridge hangs high, like a giant dragon lying on the ground. The watershed fully demonstrates the majesty and domineering power of the Qinling Mountains.

Although the Tangluo Road does not need to climb to the top of the mountain, its ancient road is under the cliff of the watershed. The Shu army was condescending and completely blocked the valley road. If the Wei army tried to attack here forcefully, the Shu army could easily attack it with arrows and stones.

With the blockade, the Wei army had no chance of even passing through.

If you want to restore traffic on Tangluo Road, you must get rid of the water flies. I'm afraid there is no room for negotiation.

However, after seeing the danger of the watershed, most of the soldiers of the Wei army were frightened. What kind of offensive methods should be used to capture them all on such a dangerous mountain peak.

Morale is the key factor that determines the victory or defeat of an army. However, the Wei army had just arrived at the bottom of the watershed and was already frightened by the Shu army before they started a battle. Such a battle was really difficult to fight.

But Xiahou Ba didn't believe in that evil. He rushed to the foot of the mountain, personally supervised the battle, and directed the army to attack.

The war drums rumbled, and hundreds of Xiahou Ba's carefully selected death squads began to rush towards the top of the mountain, officially starting the Wei army's counterattack against Sanling.

These Wei soldiers are all veterans who have fought with Xiahou Ba for many years. They are like dead soldiers and do not lack courage and heroism. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, they will move forward indomitably.

Since Jiang Wei divided his troops to garrison the Three Ridges, he set up passes on the Three Ridges and laid out defense lines, waiting for the arrival of the Wei army.

Jiang Wei knew that the Wei army would definitely appear. By taking the watershed, he was pinching the Wei army by the throat and forcing the Wei army to fight this battle.

The arrival of the Wei army was quite fast, exactly as Jiang Wei expected, and at this time, the Shu army was already waiting on the top of the mountain.

The Shu army is always on guard. They used sneak attacks to capture the watershed. Now that the Wei army has reached the foot of the mountain, they will definitely not give the Wei army any chance to make a sneak attack.

No matter from which perspective, this battle is more difficult than before. Even the previous siege battle in the west of Seoul was not as hard as it is now. If you don't have the courage to burn the boat,

, it is simply impossible to reach the top to fight.

"Swish, swish, swish" cold arrows were continuously fired at the Wei soldiers, as if they wanted to give them a blow. As soon as they entered the range of the Shu army's bows and arrows, they were already attacked by the Shu army.

The further forward, the arrows became more dense. These Wei soldiers attacking the mountain were all wearing thick iron armor and holding huge square shields in their hands to resist the enemy's bows and arrows, so they attacked

The Wei army, which was within the range of the Shu army's bows and arrows, was actually able to escape unscathed.

The death squads who opened the way in front gave great confidence to the Wei soldiers who came from behind. A torrent of yellow gathered behind and attacked towards the watershed.

The Wei army came from all over the mountains and fields, overwhelming the sky and the earth. As long as there was a place where they could walk, a large number of Wei troops would definitely gather and continue to climb to the top of the mountain.

Jiang Wei definitely wanted to stop the Wei army's attack. When bows and arrows could not penetrate the enemy's armor and shields, Jiang Wei ordered the Shu army to throw the rolling logs that had been prepared to break the rocks.

In mountain defense battles, rolling logs and rocks are almost a must-have weapon for the defenders. Due to the narrowness of the road, a single log can often control the direction of a road.

The rolling logs were thrown down from the top of the mountain. Due to the bumps on the mountain road, the rolling logs did not roll smoothly on the mountain road, but jumped and whizzed towards them. With that kind of unstoppable power, countless

The Wei soldiers had no time to dodge, they were instantly killed when hit, and injured when hit. A wooden rolling mill could crush a large area.

After the log rolling, the stone pounding came on stage. The heavy stone hit the Wei Bing on the head with a terrifying loud noise. Even if he had a thick helmet, it would be of no help at this time. As long as it touched him even a little bit, his brains would come out of the armor.

flowed out from the gaps.

Wood and rocks rolled down, and the entire hillside was a mess. The corpses of Wei Jun were laid out on the ground, and the mountain road was stained red with blood.

Xiahou Ba knew that this battle to attack the mountain was extremely difficult, and he could not easily win it with one or two charges, so he ignored the tragic death of the Wei soldiers in front and continued to command the army to launch rounds after rounds.

onslaught.

Xiahou Ba was prepared to use this persistent attack method to break through the watershed and carve a bloody path for the Wei army.

The battle situation has been very stalemate, and Jiang Wei was obviously well prepared. He personally visited the first line of defense on the top of the mountain, and stubbornly resisted the Wei army's constant attacks with the Shu army soldiers.

It was getting late, and it was reasonable to say that it was time for a truce. However, Xiahou Ba had no intention of withdrawing his troops and continued to order the Wei army to attack the watershed.

The difficulty of the battle after dark suddenly rose to hell level. The steep mountain road that was originally difficult during the day became even more difficult at night. Even if a torch was lit, it was difficult to get enough light. Wei soldiers kept slipping and falling.

He fell off the cliff and was shattered to pieces.

Continuous attack setbacks made Xiahou Ba realize that this battle was far more than that simple. It was almost impossible to win it in a short time. Xiahou Ba was forced to suspend the attack on the first day and withdrew the Wei army to the camp.
