Chapter 324: Breaking Zhang He (5)
"Kill, kill..."
On the Nanshan Mountain, the shouts of Wei army's killings surged through the sky, and the Wei soldiers attacked from Dongpo and Nans Mountain in two groups. Their number was less than 10,000 people, and they were all over the mountains and fields, with a huge momentum.
Guan Xing had led the school knifeman to rush twice, and with his condescending terrain advantage, he barely stabilized the defense line halfway up the mountain. If the Wei army was allowed to reach the top of the mountain, the Han army would really have no choice but to retreat.
"Wei thief, die." Guan Xing glanced at a Wei army captain and rushed straight to the man with a big sword.
The Wei soldiers around wanted to stop him, but Guan Xing's sword technique was so exquisite. He slashed left and right, and slashed up and down. In a moment, he had killed more than a dozen people, and within a few meters of space was empty.
"die!"
Guan Xing shouted loudly and slashed with murderous auras that killed dozens of people. The captain was already frightened and could barely raise his gun to block it. However, Guan Xing's sword was so powerful that how could the captain block it?
Under the huge force, the captain knelt on his right knee and gritted his teeth to resist. However, how could Guan Xing give him the chance to block the second move, and the captain's head suddenly stood up, and a blood column spurted out from his neck.
Guan Xing rushed forward, lifted the captain's head with the tip of his knife, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to fight to the death with someone!"
Seeing Guan Xing's bravery, the Wei soldiers were frightened, and no one dared to come forward to fight. Even He Di, who was behind the formation, was still scared when he saw this. After these battles, he had already known that he was definitely not Guan Xing's opponent in martial arts.
"The general is mighty, the general is mighty..." Unlike the Wei army, the Han army was inspired and cheered loudly.
Guan Xing also shouted: "The Han army is mighty, the Han army is mighty..."
So the Han soldiers followed the chief general to shout the mighty Han army, and their morale was boosted to the peak. The soldiers went down the mountain like tigers to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and kill the enemy. Although the Wei army had a large number of troops, they were unable to perform the terrain, and the momentum was discharged, and they were suppressed at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, there was only one brave general like Guan Xing on the South Mountain. Dongpo Han army stabilized the situation, but the defense line of Nanpo Han army seemed a little precarious. The Wei army had already slowly crossed the mountainside.
Hearing the Nanpo's emergency, Guan Xing immediately transferred the five hundred school knife hands over. Although most of the Wei army was in Dongpo, the battle situation was stabilized at this moment, and there was no need for the school knife hands here for the time being.
It was also the school knife handle that was timely. If you were a little later, you would be unable to defend the hillside of the south slope. Fortunately, Guan Xing responded in time. With these elite school knife handlers, he would eventually repel the Wei army's charge.
Although Guan Xing is already in great danger, he has stabilized the situation after all, but Wang Ping has reached the moment of life and death.
"Shoot, shoot arrows!" Wang Ping's voice had become hoarse. While inspiring the soldiers, he looked for opportunities to shoot and kill officers in the Wei army.
In less than two hours, the deer antlers and horses outside the camp were all destroyed by the Wei army, and now the fortifications of the Han army have become the only village wall.
The Wei army invaded today not only had more troops than the previous time, but also had stronger fighting spirit. They had no tricks, only one trick, that is, to rush forward without fear of death.
Pan Yu put his sword on the ground and kept gasping. Although he was very tired, he felt indescribable pleasure when he saw that the Han army was left with only the village wall.
Today, the Wei army's attacks were fierce. In addition to the strict military law and the brave soldiers, Pan Yu's example of wearing armor and holding a sharp head and taking the lead in rushing was also quite effective.
Since he suffered a considerable loss from Yang Qing under Jieting City, Pan Yu has not had a very good life these days. Although Zhang He only scolded him and did not really punish him, other generals have repeatedly mocked him behind his back.
Therefore, Pan Yu was filled with anger in his heart these days. He wanted to avenge his shame and beat those who had ridiculed him in the faces. So as soon as he launched an attack today, Pan Yu ignored his identity as a cavalry general and found the infantry general Cheng Shun to transfer an infantryman to take the lead in charge.
"General Pan is so unafraid of life and death, he is really a warrior. No one dares to laugh at him after this battle." Seeing Pan Yu so brave, Cheng Shun, who was under the formation behind, couldn't help but sigh.
"General Pan, the Sichuan thieves have only one wall left, so the general doesn't have to take the lead in rushing. When they go to the back formation to take a break, they have to break through the camp of the thieves, and the general's cavalry will have to go in and rush in." Cheng Shun came to Pan Yu's face and advised with a smile.
Pan Yu nodded and retreated to the back formation with the help of his personal guards. Cheng Shun looked at the corpse in front of him, and couldn't help feeling sad. However, he quickly adjusted his mind and waved the flag to signal the troops to continue the attack.
With its military advantage several times that of the enemy, the Wei army's attack methods have become more diverse today. They either let the cavalry go forward and use horsepower to pull the village wall with hook ropes, or the infantry carried a giant tree and hit the front, or the soldiers carried a simple ladder to build the wall. In short, they all used all means and the offensive was rapid.
Of course, the crossbowmen used arrows to shoot against the Han army. Therefore, while the Han army had to resist the Wei army's arrow rain, they also had to counter the Wei army's methods of breaking the wall. This made less than two thousand troops seem a little stretched.
This was a great test for Wang Ping's ability to adapt to changes. He issued military orders and continuously dispatched troops to extinguish the danger of breaking the wall, barely maintaining the wall of the village.
He killed a Wei soldier who had climbed over with a ladder with one knife. Wang Ping took a few steps back and rested with the wooden pillars of the arrow tower behind him. He had killed twenty or thirty enemy troops with his bow and arrow and big sword, and his physical strength was already a little exhausted.
However, the war was in danger, so he did not dare to rest for a long time. He took a big sip of his breath and then led his personal guards to rush forward.
Although the body of the Wei army was covered with the ground, hundreds of people had been damaged. If the Wei army rushed up like this, Wang Ping would be a little uncertain about guarding today.
Thinking of Yang Qing’s arrangement, Wang Ping was a little surprised and confused: “Do you really have to give up here and retreat to the mountain?”

Just as the Han and Wei armies were fighting fiercely in Jieting, Zhuge Liang outside Shangqiu City had already received Yang Qing's report on the arrival of Zhang He's rear army.
"Everyone, Zhang He has gathered 50,000 infantry and cavalry, and now he has probably launched a large-scale attack on Mingzhi and others. I am willing to lead the army north to fight Zhang He. What do you think?" Zhuge Liang looked at the generals in the central army's tent and said slowly.
"Prime Minister, what should Shangji do here? Do you want to give up?" Wei Yan asked immediately.
Zhuge Liang said: "Guo Huai has received thousands of reinforcements, and Shanggui is difficult to break, so we can only take care of Jieting and Shanggui now. Going to Jieting to defeat Zhang He and then come back to wipe out Guo Huai is the only way out for our army at present."
"What the Prime Minister said is that Shangji cannot escape just here. Zhang He's 50,000 army has always been related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition. Before, Mingzhi and others bought us a few days, but unfortunately they still failed to break Shangji. So since Shangji is not allowed to do it now, the army heading north to fight Zhang He is in line with the art of war." Ma Su said in a leisurely manner.
Wei Yan said: "I agreed to go to Zhang Heyi to decide the outcome, but I really ignored it when I went to the brigade. Should I divide my troops and stay behind to prevent Guo Huai from coming out to make trouble?"
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Wen Chang said it is reasonable, but we only have 40,000 people, so we cannot divide the troops. Only He has the chance to defeat Zhang He in the same prescription. Gao Xiang is now stationed in Lieliu City. Even if Guo Huai chases after him and stops him, Guo Huai will not have any threats for a while. We can concentrate on fighting Zhang He."
