"Dong, dong, dong..."

The drums were rumbling and the sound of killing was loud. Thousands of Wei soldiers with swords and shields lined up in formation, marching in neat steps to attack the Han army camp.

Although Taiping Ferry is a flat river, there are hills on the east and west sides of its outer entrance. Although these two hills are not high, they block the ferry channel, and travelers crossing the river by boat must pass through.

Coupled with the fact that the surrounding area is flat and without cliffs, these two hills became the only commanding heights within several miles. Therefore, the Wei army stationed at Taipingdu built a small pass here to check passers-by and prevent

Bandits attack.

After the Han army captured Taiping Ferry, Qi Hu ordered his army to build camps and fortifications on two hills. He believed that the triple antlers at the foot of the mountain and the condescending location would be enough to block the Wei army's attack.

This was indeed the case, and the progress of the entire battle did not exceed his expectations.

Although the more than a thousand Wei troops who rushed up were not afraid of death, they cooperated tacitly. The sergeants in the front row held up their shields to block the rain of arrows fired by the Han troops, while the sergeants in the back row took the opportunity to chop off the antlers blocking the road with their swords and axes, which fully demonstrated the skill of the Wei army's training.

Su, extraordinary fighting ability.

However, the Han army was not just waste. The crossbowmen on the hills on both sides stood in three rows, firing their bows and crossbows in unison, shooting in turns, and the arrow rain came one after another, seemingly without interruption.

Arrows all over the sky hit the Wei army's shields, making a series of clanging sounds. The huge impact made hundreds of shields shake, forcing the Wei soldiers behind to tighten their grip on the handles. As a result, the two swords were thrown.

Before the incense was even finished, half of their strength had been exhausted.

Qi Hu saw that the Wei army's shield hand was exhausted, so he moved his hand, and more than two hundred Han army archers filed out from behind the formation. They all had sharp eyes and strong bodies. They looked like elite warriors at first glance.

In fact, they are indeed sharpshooters selected through layers of selection. The shooting skills of each sergeant in the Wudang Flying Army are already very superb, but the shooting skills of these two hundred or so people are even better.

It's a perfect shot.

I saw these sharpshooters calmly, unfurling their bows and setting arrows, aiming at the target. The bow strings were loosened, but they heard continuous whizzing sounds, sharp arrows piercing the air, passing through the gaps between the shields at the foot of the mountain like lightning, knocking out the Wei soldiers behind.

One shot to death.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

As more than 200 sharp archers of the Han army fired continuously, the casualties of the Wei army began to increase, and screams continued one after another.

The Wei army's shield array in front also gradually appeared one after another. The Han army's crossbow array would not miss this rare opportunity. They took the opportunity to shoot waves of arrows, taking away dozens of arrows in an instant.

human life.

When Qi Hu saw the enemy's heavy casualties, he was overjoyed: "Okay, I finally broke the tortoise shell of the Wei army. These two groups of archers are worthy of being selected from thousands of elites. They opened it in less than one stick of incense."

It is a very useful sharp knife to solve the situation!"

After that, he ordered the more than two hundred sharp archers to retreat to the rear formation. At this time, they had shot more than ten arrows in a row, and their physical strength began to weaken, so they needed to stop and rest.

In addition, although the Wei army at the foot of the mountain was attacking from the rear, their archers still had a chance to threaten the Han army on the mountain. The archers in these two villages were all precious, and Qi Hu did not want them to be harmed in the slightest.

The Han army was condescending and rained down arrows wantonly, but the Wei army could not block them. People were frequently injured by arrows or fell to the ground and died.

Therefore, the Wei army's offensive was no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning, and the speed of destroying the antlers gradually slowed down. At this point in the attack, the first layer of antlers was barely destroyed, and in order to achieve this goal, it cost nearly two hundred casualties.

, the loss is not heavy.

However, Fei Yao in the distance didn't care about this and continued to ask the sergeants in front to strengthen the offensive. It seemed that he would not hesitate to break through the Han army's triple antlers at the cost of all the casualties of more than a thousand sergeants.

"The Wei thief is so determined to take back Taipingdu that he is so desperate regardless of casualties. It is really sad! But with me, Qi Hu, here, you are destined to be wishful thinking and in vain." Qi Hu secretly said

thought.

Looking at the Wei army who was fighting to the death, he felt a little surprised and admired the enemy's spirit of not fearing death. It was a pity that each of them was his own master, so he had to kill these warriors with ruthless hands. Maybe this was the only way to do it.

To truly end this troubled world and bring real peace to the people of the world.

"Send an order to Captain Zhu Zhao and order him to lead his troops up the mountain to replace Fang Jing."

"Send an order to Captain Fang Jing and order him to lead his troops to retreat to the foot of the mountain to rest."

The two messengers took the command arrow from Qi Hu's hand, agreed neatly, then turned their horses and went to deliver the command.

Fang Jing's troops were the soldiers and horses currently resisting the Wei army's attack on the hill. Qi Hu saw that many of them were showing signs of fatigue as they continued to draw their bows and fire arrows, so he decided to replace them with Zhu Zhao's troops who were resting at the foot of the mountain.

Maintain strong suppression of the Wei army.

Soon, the military orders were sent to Zhu Zhao and Fang Jing respectively. Zhu Zhao had been waiting impatiently at the foot of the mountain for a long time. When he heard that it was finally their turn to go up and kill the thieves, he did not hesitate at all and immediately led a thousand soldiers from his headquarters to arrive.

The hills on both sides began to change defenses in an orderly manner with Fang Jingbu.

Wudang Feijun was well-trained, and even when the defenses were switched during the fierce battle, the formation remained stable. The rain of arrows in the sky was not affected at all, and it continued continuously, constantly harvesting the heads of the Wei army.

Unexpectedly, just when the defense change between the two armies was about to end, I suddenly heard the sound of bangs coming from the east, and a Wei army of about a thousand people suddenly came out from behind the hillside on the right, and soon they rushed forward.

Go to the top of the mountain and fight with the Han army.

When the Han army was changing defenses, it was suddenly caught off guard. In addition, the Wei army was so powerful and attacked fiercely that Zhu Zhao's troops, whose foothold was not stable, were completely unable to resist the Wei army and kept retreating down the mountain.

At this time, Zhu Zhao happened to be on the hill on the right. Seeing that he was about to be defeated before he could do anything, he was extremely angry. He raised his sword high and shouted loudly to the hundreds of sergeants who had not yet been rushed around him: "Brothers,

, we cannot lose our reputation as a flying army, come with me to fight and block the Wei thieves. Kill..."

"kill......"

Zhu Zhao led more than a hundred sergeants to form a formation and collided with the Wei army who rushed to the top of the mountain. Encouraged by Zhu Zhao, the sergeants fought hard and curbed the Wei army's offensive slightly, preventing the Wei army from completely conquering the top of the mountain.

Qi Hu, who was stationed on the left mountain peak, saw a sudden change and the right mountain was in danger of being lost. He immediately ordered Fang Jing to lead his troops to return to Zhu Zhao's aid, and immediately ordered Chu Rong's troops who stayed at the ferry as a reserve to immediately detach 500 troops and make a roundabout way.

The woods behind the mountainside of Youshan cut off the Wei army's return route and prevented possible subsequent reinforcements from the Wei army.

"Okay, well done. Come here, send an order to Duan Kuan, and order him to lead his troops to reinforce quickly. The hill on the right must be taken down by someone."

Unlike Qi Hu, who was full of worries, Fei Yao, who was in the rear of the Wei army, was ecstatic at this time. Seeing that his strategy was successful, he immediately ordered reinforcements to be sent, determined to strike while the iron was hot and capture Youshan in one fell swoop.

"Haha, it seems that you did the right thing by leaving Chen Gai behind. Without his help, it would be difficult for our army to break through the Shu thieves' defense so quickly. If this guy can come back alive, I will reward him heavily.

He. Well, I hope this person is blessed with good fortune and good fortune." Fei Yao thought to himself.
