"General, maybe the lower reaches of this valley have changed, and the valley mouth has tightened......"

When Wang Du heard this man say this, he suddenly felt hot all over his body, and his heart was panicked.

"What about the scouts sent out before setting up camp? Why isn't the detailed topography of the valley reported? Call him to me, and I'll ask him in detail!"

After a while, the scouts from yesterday came trembling.

"Yesterday, Pyle and the others went out to spy on the enemy, how did you repay them?"

"General, I waited for a radius of ten miles, but I didn't find the enemy!"

"Have you surveyed the terrain, why didn't you tell me that this place is not suitable for camping?"

"This place is indeed open and flat, the vegetation is sparse, and it is not afraid of the enemy's water and fire schemes, which is suitable for camping!" Scout said.

In fact, the scouts were justified in saying this, and there was nothing wrong with encamping in the area, according to the rules of the usual march and battle.

The enemy is here to unleash a fire attack, which is too difficult and impossible; If it were to flood the valley with water, it would not work in such a wide valley for two or three days.

And after two or three days, it has already failed for the two plans of water and fire.

So Wang Du also has no way to take these scouts, after all, he is a reasonable person, and these people have not committed a single military law, so they can't be blamed, it was his own negligence for a while.

Wang Du had no choice but to wave the horsewhip in his hand and let them out.

"Order the whole army, all to the south, and storm the valley mouth in front!"

A stupid and failed ploy that trapped me here! Wang Du felt extremely unhappy in his heart.

But in fact, it was this failed strategy that really trapped General Yang Lie here.

If he goes north at this moment, he will encounter a large number of pursuing soldiers of the Jingzhou army, even if all the soldiers he leads will not be killed, it will take a few days to spend with a large number of enemy troops, and once the food is eaten, the army's spirit will be scattered. And to the north, itself is contrary to the goal.

In this way, he could only lead his troops to the south, and everything was as he expected, the valley changed and the valley mouth became tighter and tighter.

At a very dangerous point, the valley could only allow more than a dozen people to pass side by side. It was here that the Jingzhou army built a high earthen dam to block the water.

At this time, the Jingzhou army had already set up strong bows and crossbows on the dam and the mountains on both sides, and was waiting for his arrival.

"Raise your shields and meet the rain of arrows! Otherwise we're all going to die here!" Wang Du roared coldly!

Now that the flood has reached the knees of the horses, many infantry and horses have begun to sink in the mud, and if they don't rush desperately at this time, they may really be buried here.

Therefore, every soldier was very desperate to charge in the face of the rain of arrows......

This kind of charge with an absolute disadvantage will of course have to pay a heavy price!

The Jingzhou army has always had the advantage of long-range shooting, and after Wang Zhirong arrived, Zhuge Liang did greatly improve the bow and crossbow of the Jingzhou army according to his own ideas.

Now the eight-ox crossbow that can be operated by three people, when the army is marching, is distributed in the form of parts on each soldier or each horse, and it can be collected and assembled when it is used, and it is not cumbersome at all.

This thing shoots a heavy arrow that is not much smaller than a spear, but it can penetrate heavy armor, and Cao Jun once made a batch of giant shields nailed with thick iron plates when Xiahoudun organized the siege of the city, which can barely prevent this kind of heavy arrows.

But this kind of bulky thing is obviously not suitable for the long-distance attack of the royal capital, it is only a wooden shield nailed with thin iron sheet raised by the soldiers of the royal capital, and some are even directly wooden shields and bamboo and rattan shields, which are used to prevent ordinary arrows, under the blow of the huge force of this heavy arrow, this kind of shield can only slightly reduce the depth of the arrow piercing into the flesh!

Therefore, when the royal capital launched such a fierce attack, the casualties were very heavy!

The hillside and the embankment have been completely occupied by corpses and wounded soldiers, there is almost no place to put their feet, Wang Du is still commanding the soldiers to continue to attack, and finally they rushed up the hillside, gradually approaching the Jingzhou army's eight-bull crossbow array!

The Jingzhou Army's idea has always been to never let an eight-bull crossbow fall into the hands of the forbidden army, because this thing can be imitated!

Therefore, Liu Gouyu, who was responsible for attracting the enemy, offered a reward, a thousand dollars per head, for those members of the mercenary caravan who looked very powerful!

In fact, there are not many such people he got from Shi Er, only more than two thousand......

However, they were really obedient and went on with a big knife without hesitation...... It seems that worrying is still unnecessary!

Of course, it was not for them to be sent to death, in order to buy a little time for the retreat of the Eight Bull Crossbow, and when the Eight Bull Crossbow was cleaned up and began to retreat, Gou Yu immediately asked someone to let go of a hole, and the remaining Cao army was like a flood that burst the embankment, and immediately rushed out of the encirclement.

When the Cao army crossed the mountain, the Jingzhou army immediately set up bows and crossbows again to prevent the Cao army from counterattacking, and also sent a large number of men to the front battlefield to collect the heavy arrows that had been fired. This thing doesn't carry a lot, after a fierce shot in front, it is now almost exhausted, and those who shot out must be picked up as soon as possible, if Cao Jun dares to counterattack, these bloody heavy arrows will be shot into their bodies again!

Wang Du led his men and horses over the valley to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and found that he had been killed and wounded more than 3,000 people in the fierce charge for most of the day!

"Thief, you will pay for your blood debt!" Wang Du said ruthlessly.

However, this person is not a reckless man, he knows very well that now the Jingzhou army occupies an absolutely advantageous position, and it is newly victorious, and its morale is booming; After this terrifying duel, his morale had been exhausted, and it was difficult to fight again without the necessary rest, so he had to lead the army to retreat!

As long as he approaches Xiangyang to the south, he will inevitably attract all the Jingzhou troops nearby!

He was sure that Xiangyang was empty, and Yu Ban, Li Dian, Cao Hong and others were rushing to Xiangyang from different directions, how many people in Jingzhou could intercept these hundreds of thousands of troops! Besides, compared with the leadership of the lord, the northern Chinese army is charging into battle with the fierce general Xiahoudun, and it is beating the king's farts and urine!

Of course, this is his imagination! It's been a long time since I heard from you...... Sometimes, no news can make people despair, Wang Du feels that he is under siege, and sometimes he is very desperate!

But he didn't believe in this fact! With his strength of 500,000 yuan, how can he let himself fall into a siege? Wang Zhirong, how can they deal with the powerful Chinese army, do they have any strength to let themselves fall into a siege?

But why is there no news? All the military reports sent out and the scouts sent out were all mud cows into the sea......
