Wei Xun and Zhan Seng Zhi, who withdrew with the few remaining soldiers, can almost be described as throwing away their armor. The soldiers of the Liang Army, who broke through the first line of defense of the Wei army, were almost devastated in front of the second line of defense of the Wei army.

The second line of defense of the Wei army was in the shape of an "eight", and there were also wooden fences on the earthen platforms on both sides, and the Wei army held bows and crossbows, hiding behind the fence, and shooting a dense number of arrows at the Liang army that rushed in.

In the face of the dense arrows of the Wei army, the Liang army was caught off guard and immediately fell in large pieces. But the Wei army did not stop, and they took turns firing non-stop, as if they had an inexhaustible reserve of arrows.

After a fierce shot, before the remnants of the Liang army had time to catch their breath, the wooden door in the middle of the "eight" shaped earthen platform suddenly opened, and a group of Wei troops who shouted furiously rushed out and rushed towards the frightened Liang army.

Although Wei Xun and Zhan Seng Zhi tried their best to call the soldiers to fight, and they themselves took the lead in fighting the Wei army, the Liang army suffered too heavy casualties, and the morale was already on the verge of collapse, Wei Xun and Zhan Seng Zhi also had to retreat while fighting, and withdrew with the remnants of the soldiers.

What made the Liang soldiers feel even more desperate was the wooden fence that was finally destroyed, and the Northern Wei army took advantage of their retreat to repair it again.

Wei Fang, like Xiahou Kang, felt anxious in the face of the Wei army's impregnable defense.

"Xiahou Gong, such a reckless attack, I'm afraid it's not a way......" Wei Fang said to Xiahou Yan worriedly.

"But if you don't attack, what can you do?" Xiahou Yan shook his head and sighed, "This Li Pulp Pavilion only has one way to attack head-on......"

"Can't you cross the water from the rear to attack?" Wei Fang asked thoughtfully.

"The water in the rear is so strong that it is impossible to ferry the ......boat at all," Xiahou held his forehead and shook his head vigorously.

"I'm going to take a look!" Wei Fang was resolute, "Wei Xun, follow me!" ”

Wei Fang and Wei Xun took a few of their personal subordinates and quietly went around to Li Pulp Shuikou to investigate.

If you want to cross the water by boat, you will inevitably be hit by the current and end up in pieces.

Li Pulp Pavilion is between these two streams of water, standing majestically, with a posture that cannot be opened.

"Big brother, if you want to cross the water from here, I'm afraid that a few lives will not be enough." Wei Xun said with a smile on his tongue.

"It's really dangerous...... Wei Fang frowned and said in a low voice, "but it's worth a try." ”

"Look," Wei Fang pointed in the direction of Li Zhiting, "The Wei army's defense is all concentrated in the front, and there is not even a sentry post behind it, it seems that they are very confident in this danger, and they believe that no one will attack from this side." ”

"Yes, yes, who can cross through here, unless it's a fish." Wei Xun said.

"Then we'll just be fish!" Wei Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Surprise and win in danger, isn't this the common sense of war......"

Back in the army, Wei Fang immediately proposed his idea to Xiahou Kang.

"You're going to force your way across the water to attack?" Xiahou Kang was so shocked that his beard trembled, "What's the difference between this and suicide?" ”

"Xiahou Gong, continue to attack head-on, and also send the soldiers to death!" Wei Fang said anxiously, "The soldiers are dangerous, and only by forcing the crossing from the rear can they have a chance to lay down the Li pulp!" ”

Xiahou Kang looked at Wei Fang's firm eyes, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "General Wei, the old man believes in your judgment, then please arrange specific actions!" ”

With the support of Xiahou Kang, Wei Fang began to embark on his strategy of winning in danger.

Wei Fang selected four thousand people who dared to die from his army, and then selected more than one hundred people who were proficient in water from these four thousand people. And prepared several large bundles of thick and long straw ropes.

When the formation of 4,000 people was completed, Wei put it in front of them and said aloud, "Brothers! I have written down your names, please give me your lives Wei Fang, and I will risk my death to conquer Li Pulp! If one of you dies, I will support your family, so don't worry, just give it a go! ”

Then, Wei Fang said to Xiahou Kang and Zhan Seng Zhi, "Please Xiahou Gong and General Zhan still storm from the front and firmly attract the attention of the Wei army." ”

Xiahou Kang and Zhan Seng Zhi clasped their fists and said to Wei Fang, "General Wei, don't worry, we will attack with all our strength, I just hope that General Wei can succeed immediately!" ”

"Success or failure is in this move, today I Wei Fang is death, and I must force it over!" Wei Fang said categorically.

"When will the action begin?" Xiahou asked.

"During the day, I am afraid that there will be Wei troops along the trail to come to the river to fetch water, and if they act during the day, they may be exposed; Although the line of sight is not good at night, it is convenient to conceal the whereabouts. Therefore, Xiahou Gong can launch an attack at the time of You, that is, it is not yet dark, as long as you attract the Wei army in the front, we can take the opportunity to force the crossing. ”

"Okay, then let's go our separate ways, hoping to win Li Pulp in one fell swoop!"

The rainy season has only been gone on for two days, and in the evening, the western sky is always red, and the fiery clouds are so magnificent that everything is dyed red.

For the warriors who were in Lipul, they were in no mood to appreciate this magnificent fiery cloud. In the midst of this endless redness, the bones of Liang Jun, who had almost spread a layer on the battlefield, began to emit a smell of decay, and the sultry heat after the end of the rainy season accelerated the production of this smell, and also attracted many scavenging crows. For these black spirits, it was a feast......

It was an ordinary battlefield scene, with corpses strewn all over the field as the sun set, and crows happily pecking at those cold and stiff flesh......

A shout of killing rang out, startling the ravens who were feasting, flapping their black wings and flying into the air. But they didn't leave, just hovered in the sky, knowing that soon there would be fresh food for them to enjoy.

Xiahou Yan personally commanded the soldiers and launched the largest attack to date.

The Zhan monk took the lead and led the soldiers to charge; Xiahou stood at the head of the formation, risking the arrows of the Wei army, shouting to boost the morale of the Liang army.

At this time, Wei Fang and his entourage, who were preparing to forcibly cross, could also vaguely hear the shouting and killing sound that rushed to the sky.

"Xiahou Gong and they have already begun to attack, and we must cross it as soon as possible!" Wei Fang began to beckon the soldiers to take action.

The soldiers, who were proficient in the water, in groups of a dozen people, wrapped the same straw rope around their waists, and then jumped into the rushing water and swam towards the opposite shore.

The raging water will never be easily conquered, and although it is pulled by a straw rope, there are still people who are constantly washed up on the rocks, hitting their heads and bleeding, and even dying; Some of the ropes were broken by grinding at the edge of the rocks, and a whole group of people was swept away in an instant......

Of the more than 100 soldiers who were proficient in water, only about 20 managed to reach the other side alive.

Although the losses were heavy, Wei Fang's goal was half achieved!

The person who crossed over immediately took the straw rope off his body, and together with the person pulling the straw rope on the other side, set up several ropes across the two banks.

"Hold on to the rope and cross the water!" Wei Fang gave an order, took the lead and jumped down grabbing the rope. Wei Xun also grabbed another rope and jumped down without hesitation.

Although it was time-consuming and laborious, and there were constantly soldiers who accidentally got out of their hands and were swept away by the waves, in the end, Wei Fang still took this group of daredevils and successfully crossed to the other side.

After crossing the river, everyone was tired, but there was no time for them to rest, and the brothers in front of them were still fighting to the death, presumably with heavy casualties at this moment, and they had to attack immediately, appearing behind the Wei army like divine soldiers.

Along a small road, Wei Xun took the lead and led his soldiers to rush into the rear of the Wei army's defensive line.

As they expected, everyone in the Wei army was concentrated in front of the defensive line, concentrating on resisting the frontal attack of the Liang army.

"Brothers, give it a go!" Wei Fang raised the big knife in his hand, "Charge!" ”

Facing the Liang army that suddenly came from behind, the Wei army was obviously unprepared and was caught off guard by being killed. They couldn't figure out where this Liang army came from.

The originally well-organized line of defense was immediately thrown into disarray.

Wei Xun took the lead in killing into the enemy formation, holding a snake spear in one hand and a long knife in the other.

The brave men followed Wei Xun closely and also entered the front line of the Wei army, slashing with knives and axes, crying and wailing.

Seeing the chaos in the Wei army, the Liang army on the front knew that it was the brothers who had taken the risk to force the crossing from behind who succeeded, and the body and mind, which were already close to the limit, suddenly burst out with strength again, and they also shouted wildly, rushing to the Wei army.

The tide of battle was turned in an instant! The Wei army, which originally had the advantage, was suddenly reduced to a lamb to the slaughter at this moment under the attack of two sides; The blade of the Liang army slashed at them mercilessly, as if to vent all the anger and pain that had accumulated before on the Wei army.

Some Wei troops began to kneel and beg for mercy, but Liang Jun was obviously red-eyed, they didn't need prisoners!

The morale of the Wei army was completely broken, they were no longer able to organize any effective resistance, and the battle gradually turned into a one-sided killing......

When the hustle and bustle of the battlefield gradually calmed down, the Liang army finally captured Li Zhi despite paying heavy casualties.

Only a very small number of Wei soldiers were taken prisoner, and the rest became ghosts under the sword of the Liang army.

But where is the commander of the Wei army? Didn't it say that it was Li Xian's son Li Changjun who led this Wei army?

After interrogating the Wei prisoners, Xiahou learned that Li Changjun had already left, and at the same time, he left with 10,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 of the most elite armored cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty-Celei Army.

But as for Li Changjun's whereabouts, the captives did not know.

Xiahou Yan's mood that had just relaxed became nervous again at the moment, "Where is this Li Changjun?" It can't be some kind of trickery, right? ”

But in any case, Li Zhi has conquered, and now the siege of Shouyang is a top priority, Xiahou Kang looked at the sky, and thought silently in his heart, "I hope that King Ye's army can reach Shouyang smoothly......"
