The morning fog of the near winter has just begun to dissipate, and there is still a vague feeling in the distance, and the ground is covered with a layer of white frost, and the feet feel a little slippery when walking. The smoke of the bonfire on the Shu army position was still curling and not extinguished, and the soldiers of the Shu army had just woken up from their sleep, when suddenly, the north, west and south of the mountain city sounded earth-shattering war drums, followed by a burst of dull footsteps.

"Tut-" The dull and melodious warning drum and trumpet suddenly sounded, like a sudden stone that broke the ripples of the pond, and the Shu army instantly made a noise, and countless soldiers shouted and shouted to wield the crossbows and blades around them, jumped into the trenches, and waited for the battle! In the distance, a huge black gradually appeared in the faint morning mist, which was the color of the armor of the Qin army. In the morning mist, the sound of neat armor rubbing and the sound of powerful stomping on the earth were clearly heard, forming a huge power that shook people's hearts. The Qin army came, and the prestige of the Tiger and Wolf Division made the breath of the Shu army suddenly become short, and the palms of their hands immediately sweated, and they tightly clenched the weapons in their hands and tightened the bowstrings!

As the Qin army approached, a terrible roar sounded from the Shu army's array: "Break Qin, salvo!" ”

......Thousands of arrows leaped out of the trench with a heart-whimping buzzing sound into the sky and swooping down on their prey.

Behind the trench, a creaking sound like an old man grinding his teeth was slowly sounding, and a colander with a handle was slowly raised in the air. Suddenly, with the shouts of the Shu army officers, the trebuchet emitted a deafening "whirring" sound, shooting huge solid stones and a rain of stones into the air, and began to cover the attack.

In an instant, the rain of arrows and stones on the Shu army's array reached the sky above the Qin army and fell with a roar. Suddenly, there was a loud "flutter" sound on the Qin army's array, a puff of wet soil and withered yellow grass roots splashed in the air, followed by the bloody blood and the flying meat scraps, followed by the earth-shattering wails of the Qin army, and a pungent blood mist rose in the air!

After the first round of attacks of the army, the first row of the Qin army's formation and the center of the stone rain splashed were almost blurred with flesh and blood, and the attack power of the Shu army was really terrifying!

Yuyang was behind the formation, and he couldn't help but gasp from a distance. This is still the result of the Qin army wearing armor under Yuyang's strict orders, if there is no solid leather armor protection, I am afraid that the casualties will be even more heavy!

At this moment, the Qin army began to return fire, and waves of three-stage chain crossbows kept jumping into the air and fired covering the Shu army's position. Almost in an instant, the Shu army's trench was slammed again, but the effect was not ideal, because the Shu army had a trench shield as a cover, and the Qin army's attack effect was really reluctant, but it also succeeded in suppressing the counterattack momentum of the Shu army!

The Qin army's charge began, and more brutal hand-to-hand combat was about to begin, but Yuyang stomped his feet: such an attack looked like a nest, and it was completely a fight with human life! However, from a high position, because of the fierce attack of the Qin army in the north, middle and south, the Shu army defending near Phoenix Mountain in the east has begun to move to these three sides, and the purpose of moving the tiger away from the mountain has been achieved, so don't get entangled here.

Jiang Yu whipped the horse fiercely and shouted, "Go to the east of the city!" A burst of smoke rose behind him, and more than 100 soldiers followed him like the wind.

At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, compared to the morning fog that has begun to fade away in the north, west, and south, the fog in the mountains and forests is still very heavy, and it is a little impossible to see people at a distance.

At the foot of the mountain, as many as 20,000 elite troops of the Qin army have been assembled and are solemnly ordered. As usual, everyone was bareheaded, but they were all dressed in leather armor, light boots with thin soles, and they often held shorter weapons such as bronze swords and halberds in their hands to facilitate short-handed combat.

When Fu Su galloped to the front of the army, Wang Song rode his horse to meet him: "Military division, can you attack?" ”

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, remember, hurry up, regardless of casualties, you must take Phoenix Mountain in today's battle!" Wang Song nodded and said: "I don't know, but although the defenders of Phoenix Mountain are less than three thousand, I am afraid that there will be reinforcements in the abandoned city at any time, and the military division must still care!" Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Thank you for the general's reminder, this official has made careful arrangements, you just need to attack the mountain!" ”

"Whoa!" Wang Song relieved himself and galloped back to the army.

In the thick fog, Wang Song beckoned, and the Qin soldiers raised the wine bags in their hands and drank them to the sky in turn.

The liquor slashed through his throat and poured into his stomach, the man's blood began to boil, his body began to burn, his eyes began to red, and an urge to fight surged wildly in the chests of the Qin soldiers—the time to attack had come!

Wang Song threw his wine on the ground, lifted the halberd in his hand and stabbed it into the air, and the standard-bearer behind him waved a few red flags when he saw this, sending out a signal to march. The Qin troops in the front saw it clearly, and followed Wang Song in stride, and the Qin troops in the back saw the movement of the army in front of them, and they also hurriedly followed.

For a while, although as many as 20,000 Qin army arrays were advancing rapidly, there was no sound of drums, nor a trace of noise. Except for the rustle of thin-soled fast boots rubbing against the ground, the silence under Phoenix Mountain was simply terrifying.

This is quite a bit of the strategy of the ghost soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War: don't shoot, quietly enter the village!

In an instant, the two thousand Qin troops advanced to the foot of the mountain, and the Shu army on the mountain still didn't seem to notice.

Wang Song was overjoyed and shouted: "Brothers, go on, the one who overcomes this mountain first will be rewarded with a thousand taels!" ”

"Wow!" This sentence is like a drop of water falling into the boiling oil, and suddenly there is a cracking and horning sound, and the Qin army originally regarded military merit as their fate, and now they are even more courageous. At that moment, with Wang Song's order, the Qin troops under the mountain roared and pounced bravely with their blades, like a group of hungry tigers.

Suddenly, as if a hurricane swept across the earth, the tigers roared in the mountains and forests, and the earth-shattering shouts and killing sounds of the Qin army almost shook Phoenix Mountain a few times. The birds and finches, which were originally few in winter, were all frightened to fly away from the nest and go away in panic before this power that was enough to change the color of the heavens and the earth.

The Shu troops on the mountain immediately realized that they had already strengthened their vigilance, and they quickly shouted and entered the position, intending to give the Qin troops who came to attack by taking advantage of the dense fog to taste a little bitterness.

"Boom ......" There was a loud bang on the mountain, and the mountain trembled, and the faces of the Qin soldiers changed: the rolling logs, stones and other things on the mountain have come down!

The fog was thick, and they couldn't see their fingers in the distance, and they couldn't see where the rolling logs and rocks came from, so the Qin army had to feel that there was movement approaching, so they immediately lay down or looked for trees and rocks for cover. Although the Qin army reacted quickly, there were still many soldiers of the Qin army who were caught off guard by the giant trees and rocks that rolled down wildly, and rolled down the mountain like a rolling gourd with a long scream.

However, in general, the dense fog was very harmful to the defenders, and the Qin army took advantage of the opportunity to swarm and grab the opportunity of the Shu army's unclear vision, and although the arrows of the Shu army were overwhelming, they were mostly shot on the open space. The hit rate is pitifully low! In the blink of an eye, although the Qin army was a little out of breath, it was also approaching the top of Phoenix Mountain. The crossbowmen of the Qin army began to shoot from their backs, and from time to time arrows fell on the mountain, and the Shu army also began to have casualties!

The commander guarding Phoenix Mountain was a little anxious, this time the Qin army took advantage of the fog to attack the mountain, and the troops dispatched by listening to this momentum should be more than any before, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. While urgently ordering the soldiers to report to the abandoned city for reinforcements, he ordered the fire oil in the cottage to pour down the mountain.

For a while, dozens of barrels of fire oil poured down from the mountain, and in an instant, the first hundred steps of the cottage were soaked in oil. The Qin soldiers who pounced on them couldn't see their feet clearly, and there were countless people who lost their feet and rolled down. Just when the Qin soldiers were cursing angrily, suddenly, dozens of torches were thrown down from the top of the mountain, and in an instant, a sea of fire immediately rose from the top of the mountain.

Now it is the near winter season, the grass and trees are dry, coupled with the burning oil to fuel, for a while, the fire in front of the mountain is rolling, the heat wave is soaring, and dozens of steps away will feel blazing! Hundreds of Qin soldiers who were charging forward were caught off guard, and they were suddenly caught in the sea of fire, rolling and howling miserably in the flames, and their appearance was unbearable to witness!

This miserable scene made the Qin army, which had always been fearless, a little frightened, and now the fire in front of them was raging, and they could not advance, and from time to time they put down rolling logs and stones with fire on the mountain, and the Qin army could not parry, and the wolf was defeated and retreated back to the mountainside. Seeing that the Qin army retreated, the Shu army breathed a sigh of relief, and while ordering the fortifications to be repaired, they prepared more soil and sand to prevent the fire from rolling up the mountain. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and although Wang Song's eyes widened angrily when he saw this, his anger surged, but he couldn't force the Qin army to die in vain. I had to reorganize the formation on the mountainside while waiting for the fire to be extinguished.

The fire gradually went out, the sun rose a rod high, and as the fire and the power of the sun burned, the fog in the mountains and forests gradually began to dissipate. The Qin army is going to be in trouble attacking the mountain this time! Yuyang estimated the time, frowned, and said to Fang Tuo behind him: "Pass my general order, order General Wang to supervise the formation, and those who retreat without an order will be decided!" "Wow!" Fang Tuo received the order and sent troops to gallop up the mountain.

Wang Song received the order from Yuyang, his eyes were a little red, and he shouted: "Your Highness has an order, and those who retreat will be beheaded immediately!" Charge the armies! ”

The Qin army was also a little anxious, these veterans knew that if they didn't take advantage of the little fog left now to conquer the mountain, when the fog completely dissipated, they would all be exposed to the condescending offensive of the Shu army! As a result, the Qin army shook their spirits, and under the urging of the generals, they pounced again like a group of crazy tigers.

On the mountainside, there was a dense black figure for a while.

At this time, the line of sight was already relatively clear, the Shu army was rolling wood and rocks raining down, and the arrows were also like a storm to cover the front of the formation. Many soldiers of the Qin army were shot in the head and were killed immediately without protection, and the dead bodies were covered with mountain streams for a while.

The Qin army is really anxious, in recent years, the Qin army has rarely encountered such a heavy casualty battle, basically a battle that is defeated, and a downwind battle that is defeated with one blow, who wants to repeatedly hit the head and bleed under this city. The blood of the Qin people surged up, and the brute spirit suddenly rose, and they forgot what military orders they had at the moment, and they threw off the leather armor on their bodies that only protected the upper half of their bodies, and roared like a pack of bloodthirsty hungry wolves and swung their blades and pounced. The arrow entered the body, and the Qin soldiers only snorted, as long as there was still a trace of the body, the pace of the charge did not stop. The Qin army's fierce appearance frightened the Shu army on the hill for a moment, and the inherent fear of the Qin army made the Shu army forget the previous strict training for a while, and the shooting behind couldn't help but be inaccurate.

The Qin army was happy to see the hunt, and took the opportunity to grab it, and in the chaotic army, a dead soldier in cloth was the first to grab it, and braved the rain of arrows to grab the door of the Shu camp. It was the 'swordsman' who died in the Qin army.

"Huh!" A second lieutenant of the Qin Army's 'Iron Eagle Swordsman' held a huge bronze long sword four feet long and roared angrily, and the camp gate as thick as an infant's arm immediately made a loud "click", almost immediately splitting into two pieces. The second lieutenant was overjoyed, and then flew up and kicked hard, and the fragile camp gate trembled and fell heavily to the ground.

The camp gate opened, and the Qin soldiers cheered and swarmed up. At this moment, a row of Shu army crossbowmen suddenly stood behind a row of antlers behind the camp gate, and the sharp arrows flashed in the morning light.

"Whoosh...... The flying arrows instantly froze the fear on the faces of the Qin army, and dozens of people were killed instantly. Although the first lieutenant was flying with a long sword, he still had several arrows in his body. Before falling to the ground, the second lieutenant roared, and threw the long sword in his hand with all his might, the heavy sword was like the wind, and immediately stabbed the two Shu army crossbowmen into a string of gourds and crashed back! The second wave of arrows followed, and the dozens of 'swordsman' dead soldiers couldn't cover it, and they retreated step by step for a while, seeing that they were about to be shot out of the camp gate by random arrows.

At this moment, there was a sudden agitation behind the Shu army, and hundreds of Qin army cloth-clothed swordsmen came with swords like swords. Wherever this army passed, the sword wind was like madness, the sword shadow was like a mang, and the Shu army had no generals, and they were all killed on the ground. It's really a bit of a 'kill one person in ten steps, and I'll walk alone for a thousand miles'!

This army is Yuyang's personal guard 'wolf teeth', taking advantage of the fog and the two armies can not attack each other, sneak over the back cliff of Phoenix Mountain in the middle of the night, and attack from the back mountain.

After a while, the brave 'wolf teeth' sergeant ran all the way to the front of the camp, and saw that the Qin army in front of the camp was in danger, and immediately divided most of them to attack the crossbowmen of the Shu army in front of the camp gate. For a while, the crossbowmen of the Shu army were caught off guard, how could they stop this group of tigers with no melee ability, they couldn't take care of the head and tail, and they were immediately killed all over the field and fled from east to west. At this time, the Qin army, who was originally shot by the Shu army, was greatly boosted when they saw this, and when the Shu army was killed and couldn't take care of the tail, they rushed to grab it, and even the fence was almost crushed by the Qin army that poured in like a tide!

The gate of the village fell instantly, and the cottage was killed into a mess, the flames of fire, the sound of gold and iron, and the Qin soldiers who suffered heavy casualties were furious, chasing and killing the fleeing Shu soldiers everywhere, venting their anger and hatred in their hearts! Although many Shu soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the Qin soldiers who could kill turned a blind eye, and unambiguously cut down with a sword and cut off their heads to repay their merits! Although the Shu army also struggled to organize the remaining forces to rebound with all their might, due to the large distance between the forces, they were quickly wiped out by the Qin army.

In just one morning, Phoenix Mountain fell!

……………………

Hearing the news of the emergency in Phoenix Mountain, Shao Gong immediately judged Yuyang's true intentions, and immediately asked the priest Ziwei to ask: "Lord Priest, Phoenix Mountain overlooks the whole city of my mountain city, if it is lost, all the void and reality of my mountain city will fall into the eyes of the Qin army, which will be greatly detrimental to the future battle situation!" Therefore, the child specially asks to mobilize all the troops in the city to support Phoenix Mountain, no matter how much it costs, Phoenix Mountain must always be in the hands of our army! ”

Priest Ziwei thought for a moment and said: "What Shao Gong said is reasonable, but the Qin army must take precautions, you must be careful when you lead the army out of the city!" ”

"Yes, sacrifice to the lord" Shao Gong immediately received the order, ordered the two thousand elites in the city, opened the east gate, and went straight to Phoenix Mountain.

As soon as the reinforcements of the Shu army arrived at the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain, they saw that the beacon fire on the top of the mountain was full of fire, and the sound of killing was earth-shattering, and it was obvious that the war was in a state of anxiety.

Shaogong was so anxious that he had to order the whole army to go up the mountain. Suddenly, there was a majestic and dull sound of war drums behind him, followed by the thunderous sound of iron hooves.

Shao Gong was shocked, and when he looked back, in the faint mist, a black-armored iron cavalry of thousands of people was rushing towards him with a devastating momentum, and the eyes of the Qin cavalry on the horse flashed with murderous blood, and the halberd in his hand emitted the cold light of death! Shao Gong immediately judged: This is an elite iron cavalry of the Qin army!

Who is coming, it is the three thousand 'broken army' iron cavalry that Jiang Yu has arranged to guard here for a long time, and handed over to the commander of the Xiao general Meng Ao himself! And the fighter plane chosen by Li Xin was also just right, just at the embarrassing time when the Shu army could not advance and retreat!

The Shu army is located in a high area, it is mainly a military pawn, and there are few war horses, and for a while, when I suddenly saw such a large-scale pounce of the Qin cavalry, I couldn't help but panic. Zhao Tie knew badly: if he still insisted on going up the mountain, he would be sniped by the Qin army, and the whole army would definitely be defeated in an instant; If they turn back to the battle, it will be difficult for the 5,000 people to be the opponent of the 3,000 Qin cavalry. What's more, the Qin army has a lot of soldiers, and the loss of thousands is insignificant, and the Shu army has few soldiers, and these 5,000 people are exhausted, and the abandoned city will be completely finished!

So, Shao Gong immediately shouted: "After the crossbow hand is broken, the army retreats to the city!" ”

The 1,000 crossbowmen of the Shu army lined up in response, and they had to finish the battle in a moment, which shows that they are also well-trained.

However, it is a fool's dream to use 1,000 crossbowmen to resist 3,000 such fierce 'broken army' cavalry! And Zhao Tie didn't plan that this thousand crossbowmen could complete such an impossible task, what he needed now was time, time to retreat. As long as you win a certain amount of respite for the 2,000 Shu army, it is worth sacrificing all the 1,000 crossbowmen!

Arrows rained down, and the crossbowmen of the Shu army shot hard, intending to stop the frenzied attack of the 'broken army'. Li Xin held the halberd in his hand, charged forward, struggled to pull out the flying arrows, whistled, the Qin army hurriedly hung up the halberd, took out the cavalry crossbow, stretched the strings, set up the arrows, and shot sharply, all in one go.

The sharp and steady Qin arrow instantly jumped over the void of more than 100 steps, and the prepared one hit the Shu army's crossbowmen, almost no arrows, and in just one round of arrow rain, nearly half of the Shu army's crossbowmen fell in a pool of blood. This astonishing hit rate couldn't help but make Zhao Tie, who led the army retreat in a hurry, also secretly frightened! Collecting crossbows and lifting halberds, a cold light like an oblique moon flashed in mid-air, and the heads of the Shu army flew into the sky. In an instant, the galloping Qin army's iron cavalry drowned the Shu army's broken crossbowmen without a trace. And during this period, the cavalry of the 'broken army' barely slowed down their horse steps! The 'broken army' destroyed the Shu army's broken rear troops, and the cavalry formation immediately made a sharp spin beautifully, turned to the west, and chased the retreating Shu army wildly. It seems that Meng Ao is planning to return to the army after making enough money!

Although the east gate of the abandoned city is less than two thousand steps away from the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain, this road is too long for the Shu army at this time. In the face of the offensive of the cavalry of the 'broken army' like a storm, the Shu army fought and retreated, and when it retreated into the abandoned city, there were less than 3,000 left of the 5,000 expeditionary army.

Shao Gong stood at the head of the city, looking at the cavalry of the Qin army outside the city, throwing his helmet on the ground, his face was pale.

Although he is full of talent, how can a small ruined city let him do his best? With this cavalry alone, he Zhao Tie is pouring the strength of the whole city, and I am afraid that he will not be able to form a cavalry force of more than a thousand!

"The difference in strength is too big!" Shao Gong couldn't help but shake his head painfully, not knowing how long this miserable ruined city could support after losing Phoenix Mountain.

……………………

And when Yuyang climbed to the top of Phoenix Mountain, he saw the miserable scene of corpses all over the field, but he didn't have much excitement in his heart.

Because in Jiang Yu's view, although the victory in this battle was related to a series of beautiful combination punches, the heavy casualties of the Qin army also made Fusu feel a little invincible, and it was quite a bit of a victory with Jin Yuan and the poor to fight for wealth and win!

However, in the battle for Phoenix Mountain, although the Qin army did not gain much advantage at the tactical level, and even surpassed the Shu army in overall casualties, but at the strategic level, the Shu army, which had lost an important support point on the battlefield, had already handed over the initiative on the battlefield.
