Chapter 396: Tug of War
The strongest, the fastest update of the last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei latest chapter!
The Wei army had been following the fire, and as soon as the fire was extinguished, they marched forward to take over the land, which had been ravaged by the fire.
Although the front was close to the camp of the Shu army, because the fire had not been extinguished, no one could have imagined that the Wei army would launch an attack at this time.
Wang Ping held the spear in both hands, his eyes were murderous, he shouted, and rushed to the nearest Shu soldier with an arrow step, and decisively stabbed with the spear, leaving a transparent hole in the body of the Shu soldier.
Wei Bing seemed to be shocked by Wang Ping's momentum, this was too violent, and he came out of the fire directly, like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, full of momentum.
What's even more terrifying is that Wang Ping only crossed the line of fire alone, and behind him was like a hurricane, rushing over countless Shu soldiers, like mercury pouring on the ground, unstoppable.
The Wei army did not have too many soldiers on the front line, only about a few hundred people, and in the face of the torrent of thousands of people, they were simply unmatched, even if they saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to turn around and flee, but they found that the Shu army was moving much faster than them, and before they could withdraw a few steps, they were caught up and swallowed up by the torrent of the Shu army.
The Shu army is good at mountain warfare, it is not a casual talk, but an ironclad fact, whether it is combat experience or the speed of marching, the Shu army is slightly superior.
On the contrary, the Wei army, which was more accustomed to fighting on the plains, was very unaccustomed to this potholed and undulating mountain road, and even when running, it was easy to be knocked down.
The vanguard of the Wei army, which numbered several hundred people, was swallowed up by the Shu army in one breath in the blink of an eye.
Wang Ping's face was hideous, his right hand held his spear high, and he shouted loudly: "Kill—"
"Kill! Kill! Kill ......" everyone in the Shu army shouted, the momentum was like a rainbow, like a flood that broke the embankment, surging and unstoppable.
Xiahouba's position was not too far from the front line, and the Shu army suddenly launched a counterattack, which seemed to be a little unexpected, after all, the fire in front had not been extinguished, and the Shu army had already stepped out of the fire and rushed all the way over.
Xiahou Ba immediately organized the army to resist, and drew his sword to personally charge the front line.
With Xiahouba's exemplary role, the momentum of the Wei army has also rebounded, and the Wei army, which was originally in the midst of rout, also regained its strength, followed closely behind Xiahouba, and started a battle with the Shu army.
Xiahou Ba didn't rush out a few steps, and he met Wang Ping head-on, and at this moment both sides were already red-eyed, one holding a spear and the other holding a sword, fighting in one place.
These two people are battle-hardened tiger generals, although they abandon their horses and fight on foot at the moment, but they are also very exciting, two people come and go, they have done their best, the spear is merciless, the sword is ruthless, and the killing is inseparable.
Cao Liang and Yanghu Du are on the top of the front mountain at this moment, they can see the battle here clearly, at a glance, Yanghu saw that Xiahou Ba was trapped in the enemy army, and the enemy general was in a fierce battle, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, lest Xiahou Ba lose, so he pulled out his knife and prepared to come forward to help.
Cao Liang grabbed him and said, "You go alone, it's just a drop in the bucket, it won't help much, it's better to go back to the barracks as soon as possible, go and move some rescuers, or I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the crisis." ”
The men and horses killed by the Shu army this time are very different from the ones and horses defeated by Liu Min, and it is thought that it is also the army led by Wang Ping himself, and it is the elite army of the Shu army.
Xiahouba's vanguard battalion has lost a lot of people when attacking Xingshi Mountain, and now there are only three or four thousand people left, and they are relatively scattered, although under the leadership of Xiahouba, they have gathered a lot, but compared with the seven or eight thousand troops of the Shu army, Xiahouba's men and horses are still too bad.
Yanghu saw that the situation on his father-in-law's side was critical, so he wanted to rescue him, but Cao Liang thought that Yanghu himself did not have much martial arts, and stepping forward at this moment was not much different from sending him to death.
Therefore, Cao Liang suggested that Yanghu immediately return to the camp to move the rescue troops, and the current situation on the battlefield is no longer under the control of Xiahouba's vanguard battalion.
Yanghu thinks about it, now the counterattack of the Shu army is quite strong, if Xiahou Ba's vanguard battalion can't resist the enemy, and the Shu army recaptures Qianshan, then Cao Liang's fire will not be in vain.
So Yanghu hurried down the mountain, the sooner he moved to the rescue, the sooner he could relieve the crisis of Xiahouba, and Yanghu didn't dare to stop for a moment.
Cao Liang did not retreat, he ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle, looking at the offensive of the Shu army, it is estimated that it will soon attack here, so Cao Liang has already made up his mind to hold the top of Qianshan.
The importance of the top of the mountain is self-evident, if it is captured by the Shu army, all the previous efforts of the Wei army will be in vain, including this all-destroying fire, and the Wei army will have to reorganize the army and retake Xingshi Mountain.
Such a result is bound to not satisfy anyone.
Therefore, guarding the top of the front mountain is the minimum bottom line of the Wei army, and this bottom line must not be easily abandoned.
There were more and more Shu troops crossing the line of fire, and the pressure on Xiahouba was also increasing, so he had to give up the battle with Wang Ping, and led the Wei army to retreat and resist step by step, and gradually retreated to the top of the mountain.
Although there is a ditch beam before the front mountain and the back mountain, the drop is not too big, far from the steepness from Fugukou to Xingshi Mountain, and the Shu army walks on the mountain like walking on flat ground, and the ditch beam that is not too deep is not in the eyes at all, rushing all the way, and soon approaching the front of the top of the mountain.
At this time, the pioneer battalion led by Guo Huai was finally late, and it is estimated that even Guo Huai himself had no face to continue to stay at the foot of the mountain, and led the army to climb Xingshi Mountain, just in time for this big battle.
Although the fighting spirit of the army led by Guo Huai was not strong, it was expensive because of the large number of people, and the soldiers and horses of 5,000 people had almost no losses before, so with their joining, the Wei army still easily repelled the attack of the Shu army.
Wang Ping was not willing to fail, and launched round after round of offensives towards the top of Xingshi Mountain.
Because Wang Ping knew that these two Shu armies were the vanguard troops, and the two vanguard troops were enough for them to drink a pot, if tens of thousands of Wei troops pressed up, it would be difficult to recapture the lost Xingshi Mountain position.
The two sides are caught in a tug-of-war, you go back and forth, strangled each other, the battle is extremely fierce, and both sides do their best to fight for control of the top of the mountain.
