The battle at the foot of the mountain ended with the wind and clouds.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Sima army was insufficient, and coupled with the death of Shangsun Li, the remnants of the Sima army were even more powerless, and the entire army was quickly wiped out.

Yanghu ordered a simple cleanup of the battlefield, and then surrounded the low mountain.

Although it is said that the Bingzhou army has annihilated more than 20,000 people of Sima Jun and shot the leading general Lili, there are still thousands of people hiding on the low mountain, of course, Yanghu is not very interested in these thousands of heads, he is naturally most interested in Sima Yi's two sons - Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

You must know that Sima Yi is too old, and his longevity is not much, so he can't last much at all, and although Sima Yi has many heirs, most of them are young and unusable, only Sima Shi and Sima Zhao can inherit the great cause, Sima Yi arranged them in the army, and they have the meaning of experience, if they can kill Sima Shi Sima Zhao like killing Sun Li, it will be a heavy blow to Sima Yi, and it will be strange not to let him vomit blood.

Therefore, Yang Hu is very interested in Sima Shi and Sima Zhao who are hiding on the low mountain, if they can take the low mountain and capture the Sima brothers, it can also draw a perfect end to the battle of Lingshi.

However, now the Sima army has seized the commanding heights of the low mountain, and it is not easy for the state army to conquer it.

Previously, the state army only sent a thousand crossbowmen to guard the entire West Mountain, which made the Sima army suffer a lot, and several mountains in the West Mountain, they worked hard and paid a lot of price to capture the shortest and smallest mountain.

It can be seen from this that the geographical advantage is so important, and now at least five or six thousand people of the Sima army have fled to this mountain, and if the state army really attacks, it may not be able to bargain for anything.

What's more, this is the night, the mountains are dangerous, the roads are difficult to distinguish, if you want to attack, the difficulty will increase exponentially, even if you can fight down, it is estimated that you will lose a lot of troops, and the gains outweigh the losses!

Maybe other generals will send troops to rush up at all costs when they find that there is a big fish in the mountains that they want to do, but Yanghu will not, he will first weigh the pros and cons when fighting, and if the cost is greater than the gain, then he will not hesitate to stop the action. No unnecessary sacrifices will be made.

What's more, Yanghu has commanded the infantry battalion for many years, loves soldiers like sons, these soldiers are all his brothers, they are all his siblings, even if he sacrifices a person, it is more regrettable for Yanghu, if it is really to achieve an unattainable goal and let the infantry battalion suffer heavy losses, he himself will never agree.

After considering the difficulty of conquering the low mountain, Yanghu still decisively chose to give up.

And several lieutenants under his command were unwilling, knowing that there were two big fish hiding on the hill in front of them, and they were not willing to give up easily, so they asked Yanghu to fight, asking Yanghu to allow them to attack the low mountain, even if it was a try.

Yanghu is resolute, not moved by this huge temptation, if you can capture Sima Shi and Sima Zhao is a good thing, but the risk is not something that the infantry battalion can bear, if the infantry battalion attacks with all its strength, pays a great price of casualties, and fails to take the low mountain, it is really a waste of chickens and rice.

In the battle of Lingshi Pass, the infantry battalion won a complete victory, but if it was heavily damaged in the attack on the low mountain, the previous victory would be negated, and this kind of move would also affect Cao Liang's overall strategic deployment.

However, giving up the attack on the low mountain does not mean that the Bingzhou army will not attack, the short-range troops are not used, but the long-range troops have not stopped attacking, Yanghu has transferred all the archers to the foot of the mountain, as long as the range is the same, they will be included in the attack range of the Bingzhou army.

For a time, the state army fired thousands of arrows, and no matter where the target was, a ** wind and rain like an attack poured towards Guan Xiao Mountain.

This time, the Sima army below the mountainside suffered a big disaster, because the attack of the Bingzhou army was a covering attack, there was no need to aim at all, just shoot the arrow to the mountain, this kind of shooting for the Bingzhou army, there is no pressure, even if they close their eyes, they can shoot the arrow at the target.

The Sima army was more miserable, the entire area below the mountainside was within the range of bows and arrows, except for the upper part of the mountain, which could not be hit by bows and arrows, nearly half of the people under the mountainside were within the attack range of the state army.

Because the number of Sima soldiers is too dense, and the terrain on the mountainside is too dangerous, there are not too many places to stand people, so Sima Jun is crowded together, and there is no chance to even move to avoid arrows.

This passive way of being beaten is indeed very aggrieved, but there is nothing to be done, now Sima Jun's fighting spirit is completely gone, and the army's morale is weak, not to mention that their physical strength and energy have not yet recovered, even if they are really recovered, who still has the courage to impact the battle formation of the state.

Such a random arrow also caused a lot of casualties to the Sima army, and nearly half of the soldiers in the Sima army below the mountainside were hit by arrows, and many people died.

Due to the steep slope on the mountain, most of the Sima soldiers who were shot and killed would roll down, but some of the Sima soldiers were also very smart, and they did not have a shield in their hands, so it was difficult to protect against these cold arrows, so they simply lifted the corpses of the robe Ze and blocked them in front of them, and let these corpses act as shields to block the arrows.

Not to mention, this method is quite effective, hiding behind the corpse, the corpse is full of arrows, and the person hiding behind it can be unharmed.

This method was imitated, and many began to hold the corpse as a shield, which was better than nothing, although not completely offensive.

Almost all of the Sima soldiers hoped that the disaster could be avoided, and the number of bows and arrows of the state army should be limited, so it was impossible to shoot so indefinitely, right?

But if they were shown the situation at the bottom of the mountain, they would probably be disappointed, because the bows and arrows used by the Bingzhou army were not only brought by them, but most of them were captured from their side.

After the Sima army was exhausted, it was difficult to shoot even arrows, so on the battlefield, those large numbers of bows and arrows all fell into the hands of the Bingzhou army with the defeat of the Sima army.

Originally, in the use of bows and arrows, the infantry battalion was overstretched, and after fighting for a few hours, the arrows they carried were almost exhausted, but fortunately, Sima Jun's "generosity" allowed them to attack with arrows continuously without any consideration of whether to save or not.

It is estimated that after Sima Shi saw this scene, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
