The order was passed down, the three armies drank and dined, rested in the street pavilion city for a night, and the next day as soon as the sky was bright, they began to besiege the lonely cliff. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In less than half an hour, 70,000 Wei soldiers surrounded the lonely cliff, and Bai Qi personally put the 40,000 main forces at the bottom of the west slope of the cliff and posed to attack the mountain.

Looking down from the top of the lonely cliff, the black pressure of the Wei army under the mountain is one after another, overwhelming, boundless, and the momentum is extremely huge.

The Qin soldiers on the shore saw the Wei army's formation, and they all changed their color and secretly sweated.

You must know that what they are going to face is the invincible and invincible Wei army.

Not long ago, the Wei army had just breached the city of Chang'an, which they were so proud of, that even their crown prince had been captured alive.

The impregnable Chang'an City has been breached, and they really have no confidence that they can hold this lonely cliff.

On the top of the cliff, Xiahoudun stood proudly, looking down at the Wei army under the city, his fists clenched, and his eyebrows revealed a fierce revenge rage.

Because, he saw the battle flag with the word "white" and the battle flag with the word "Li".

This means that the enemies attacking the mountain are Wei generals Bai Qi and Li Guang.

At the beginning of the battle in Chang'an, it was these two guys who joined forces, and it was just that they were defeated, and they were shot in one eye, and their prestige was lost.

Perhaps it was destined that Xiahoudun was in this street pavilion and bumped into these two old enemies again, how could Xiahoudun not be angry.

"Bai Qi, Li Guang, you two dog mongrels, I really didn't expect to let Ben Jiang run into it again, if you have the guts, come and attack, this time Ben will not kill you to the point of leaving a piece of armor, this time, I must wash away my shame from you!"

After a low roar, Xiahoudun made a move with a big gun in his hand and shouted: "The athletes of Daqin, cheer up Xiahoudun, if Wei Gou dares to attack the mountain, kill them and bleed like a river." ”

Encouraged by Xiahou Dun, the nine thousand Qin soldiers forcibly suppressed their uneasy mood, clenched their swords and guns, mustered up courage, and prepared for a bloody battle.

At the bottom of the cliff, Bai Qi immediately raised his knife, calmly commanded the army to form a formation, and formed an offensive momentum on the cliff.

With an order, nearly 40,000 Wei soldiers formed dozens of large and small groups of soldiers and horses, holding large shields, and began to approach the hillside in an orderly manner.

The offensive is about to begin.

At this time, another deputy general, Zhao Yan, frowned, and couldn't help asking: "General, the last general sees that the enemy army is about to surround the mountain, why don't we rush down the mountain in one go before they are finished, kill them, and frustrate their spirit." ”

"You don't know the art of war, don't talk nonsense."

Xiahoudun glanced at him and said coldly: "Don't you see, the Wei army's soldiers and horses are several times that of us, even if we force it down, we can't break the enemy position in one fell swoop, and then we will fall into a chaotic battle, at that time, the enemy army is surging on all sides, and it will not be easy for us to retreat again, and we will not fall into passivity." ”

Zhao Yan was sarcastically ridiculed by Xiahoudun, and suddenly looked ashamed, so he had to close his mouth and step aside.

Immediately, Xiahoudun ordered the whole army to stick to the mountain camp, and no one was allowed to go down the mountain for half a step.

On the lonely cliff, more than 9,000 Qin soldiers had no choice but to stand still, and the Wei army formed an encirclement and surrounded them.

Down the slope, Li Guang saw that Qin Jun had not come down the mountain, he couldn't help frowning, and looked at Bai Qi, "General Bai, it seems that this Xiahoudun is really a character, let's deliberately expose flaws and let him go down the mountain to impact, he didn't fall for it." ”

Bai Qi also nodded slightly, and sighed: "This Xiahoudun is really extraordinary, if Cao Cao had asked him to guard Chang'an, instead of letting his incompetent son, I am afraid that we might not be able to capture Chang'an." ”

Li Guang also nodded in agreement, but asked again: "What about now, what should we do?" ”

"In any case, let's also attack and try to make the enemy have a few catties and taels." Bai Qiying's eyes froze, and with a big gun in his hand, he shouted: "Order, the whole army will start attacking the cliff." ”

Woowoo woo –

The sound of the horn of slaughter, blown in the blink of an eye, tore through the silence between heaven and earth, and ignited the raging fire of war among the soldiers of the Wei army.

In the Central Military Department, the flag shook like the wind, and under the order, rows of Wei sabers and shields began to attack towards the top of the cliff.

Tom Tom Tom –

Immediately afterwards, the cheering war drums were also beaten, shaking the earth to tremble.

In the front direction, five thousand Wei saber and shield hands, holding a large shield and carrying a ring head knife, began to climb to the top of the cliff with great difficulty.

At the beginning, the Wei army still had four or five thousand people climbing up from time to time, and when they rushed to the middle of the mountain, they could only have more than 2,000 people in parallel, and when they approached the enemy camp less than dozens of paces, they could only walk more than 1,000 people together.

In the enemy camp, Xiahoudun looked down at the changes in the formation of the Wei army that rushed up, and the corners of his mouth raised an unexpected hideous sneer.

Seeing that the Wei army was only more than 40 steps away from the camp wall, Xiahou Hou was burning with murder in his eyes, pointed the big gun in his hand, and shouted: "Crossbowman, release arrows, shoot Wei dog!" ”

Boom Boom –

The sound of strings rang suddenly, and thousands of sharp arrows broke out of the air and bombarded the Wei army on the slope.

Blood splattered, howls rose suddenly, and in an instant, dozens of Wei soldiers were shot and fell in pools of blood, howling in pain, and many wounded soldiers rolled directly down the slope, and were hit by mountain rocks and broke their heads and bled out.

If it was on flat ground, the Qin army's bows and crossbows would not be able to cause such great damage, but the Wei army could not effectively form a dense shield formation in the process of climbing the mountain, so many flaws were exposed, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

Bai Qi had expected this scene early, and he didn't even frown, and ordered to continue attacking the mountain, and was not allowed to take half a step back.

"Kill—"

"Kill all the Qin thieves—"

The Wei soldiers roared in their mouths, and marched forward under the rain of arrows, without flinching for half a minute, one soldier fell, and the soldiers behind continued to fill the vacant positions and continued to advance one after another.

In the enemy camp, the Qin army finished shooting a wave of arrows, followed by the second wave and the third wave of sharp arrows, followed by an overwhelming bombardment.

At a distance of less than forty paces, the Wei army actually paid nearly seven or eight hundred casualties before barely approaching the enemy camp wall at the top of the cliff.

More than 100 Wei soldiers in the front row, stepping on the corpses of their companions and carrying sharp arrows like rain on their heads, finally rushed alive in front of the enemy camp wall.

Just as they raised their swords and were about to cut through the enemy wall, suddenly, with Xiahou Xuan's roar, the Qin army's crossbowmen immediately retreated, and more than a thousand spearmen and halberders quickly made up for the front line of the camp wall.

Brush Brush Brush!

In an instant, more than a thousand blades stabbed out, stabbing dozens of unprepared Wei pawns directly into human flesh skewers, screaming with blood, and flying again.

The spear and the bow and crossbow, Xiahou Dun guarded the royal deployment, which can be said to be impermeable, and it was very good to defend the camp.

Although the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers were not afraid at all, and continued to raise their shields to resist the enemy's spears, and slashed wildly with a big knife and pushed the camp wall.

It's just that although the Wei army is numerous, it can't give full play to the advantage of sending more troops.

The terrain on the top of the cliff is less than 100 steps wide, and the number of attackers invested by the Wei army at one time does not exceed more than 1,000 people.

In this case, although the Wei soldiers had tried their best, they still could not shake the enemy camp, but the casualties became more and more serious.

The battle situation on the top of the cliff, Bai Qi saw it clearly, and immediately made a decision, shouting: "Mingjin, the whole army retreats." ”

At the foot of the mountain, the sound of gold suddenly sounded, and the order to retreat was given.

The soldiers of the Wei army who were fighting bloody on the top of the cliff finally breathed a sigh of relief, retreated from the enemy camp wall, held high the big shield, and retreated step by step, although the casualties were quite serious, but there was no chaos at all, so that the Qin army did not dare to take advantage of the situation to pursue and cover up, so they could only send off the Wei army with bows and crossbows.

After a short time, the Wei army finally retreated beyond the range of the enemy's bows and crossbows, leaving only the corpses all over the mountain, and half of the hillside was dyed red with blood.

Inside the camp wall, Xiahou Tang let out a long breath, and in a blink of an eye, a fierce arrogance appeared on his face, and he sneered: "Bai Qi, Li Guang, I finally tasted my Xiahou Dan's power, let you suffer a little today, and vent the hatred in my heart a little, hahaha——"

Xiahoudun's fierce and proud laughter sounded, and the Qin soldiers on the left and right were also as excited as beasts, laughing and scolding wildly, showing off their might to the retreating Wei army.

The sound of smug laughter and scolding echoed in the top of the mountain, stinging the dignity of the Wei soldiers.

"It seems that this place chosen by Xiahou is indeed more dangerous than Jieting City, although our army has 70,000, if you want to capture it within ten days, I am afraid that it will be difficult." Li Guangwang sighed.

Bai Qi was silent, his eyes sometimes staring at the cliff, sometimes sweeping around, as if he was pondering a strategy to break the enemy.

After a while, Bai Qi's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic sneer, "Xiahoudun is self-righteous, thinking that if the turtle shrinks on the cliff, we can't help him, hmph, I will soon tell him to defeat himself without a fight." ”

Defeat yourself without a fight?

As soon as these words came out, Li Guang's expression suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly asked, "Doesn't General Bai have any clever plan?" ”

Bai Qi raised his big gun, pointed at the cliff, and sneered: "General Li, look, although the terrain of this lonely cliff is dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it seems that Xiahoudun is proficient in the art of war, but in fact he made a fatal mistake, that is-water!" ”

"Water?" Li Guang hadn't reacted yet.

Bai Qi pointed back at the small river not far away, "Although the mountain cliff is high, there must be no water, the Qin army must go down the mountain to get water from that small river, we don't need to attack the mountain at all, as long as the mountain cliff is surrounded by water, cut off his source of water, and then set fire to the mountain, I expect that he will not fight in five days, and he will be in chaos without a fight." ”

Li Guang suddenly realized that he couldn't help but laugh.

He is also a person who is proficient in the art of war, so he naturally knows that when the two armies are fighting, why they usually choose to camp next to the river, in order to get water conveniently.

Without food, the soldiers may be able to last for three or five days, but if there is no water, I am afraid that within three days the soldiers will have to aspire and will be in chaos without a fight.

In the eyes of Bai Qi and Li Guang, Xiahoudun's camp was dangerous, but it made a fatal mistake that the water source was easily cut off.

Looking at the "Xiahou" banner on the cliff, Li Guang sneered: "Xiahoudun, I couldn't kill you last time, so this time, I'll die of thirst!" ”
