The sun is setting in the west, and in the clear sky, the sun is burning, and it is red, as if it is going to ignite the sky and burn the western sky, which looks very terrible.

At this time, the wind is calm, the clouds stop, as if just waiting, a gust of wind rolls up, directly igniting the clouds in the sky!

In the coalition camp, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops were not stationed in place, but shifted their attention to Erlong Mountain in the north, where the Shu army was about to attack.

Since grabbing the vanguard position, Wen Zhiming hurriedly returned to the Shu army, quickly gathered the generals under his tent, and began to implement strategic deployment, preparing to quickly launch an attack on Erlong Mountain at dusk.

He plans to attack quickly, and when night falls, he will forcibly seize control of Erlong Mountain from the Yan army, and the Shu army will establish the first merit.

After consulting with the generals, Wen Zhiming made a plan!

The army was thunderous and actively preparing for war, and at noon, the Shu army was ready to go.

At dusk, a melodious, low horn sound came out of the Shu army camp, and the Shu army, which was preparing for battle, quickly assembled to form a phalanx, and finally began to act.

At this time, a cold wind gradually blew in the sky, and soon, the wind was fierce, and the red glow on the horizon quickly gathered, and the western sky completely turned into a red sea and burned completely.

Taking advantage of the wind and the clouds, Wen Zhiming sent two lieutenant generals, Li Dongming and Han Xiaotian, to lead 50,000 infantry and split into two roads to attack Erlong Mountain and the trail under the mountain, hoping to gain something and force out the traces of the Yan army.

The two armies came out together, and soon, outside the gate, like two torrents, went in two different directions.

At this moment, Wen Zhiming stood outside the gate, staring at the Shu army that was moving quickly, and did not dare to shift his gaze in the slightest.

As an important general of Shu, he knew very well in his heart that the attack on Yan by the Four Kingdoms had already caused the Yan army to attack the city in the north and plunder, and the momentum was like a rainbow, which was greatly threatened, and the edge gradually converged.

At this time, Shu State, as an ally of Yan State, should remain neutral even if it does not help Yan State when Yan State is in danger, but at the critical juncture of Yan State's life and death, Shu State not only did not take the initiative to help Yan State, let alone help maintain neutrality, on the contrary, for Shu's own interests, not only betrayed Yan State, but also directly united with Wu Yue, Chu and Cai Siguo to forcibly launch an attack on Yan State, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to profit.

For a time, the Four Kingdoms Cutting Yan became the Five Kingdoms Cutting Yan, which made the situation of the Yan Kingdom very bad, and even the only way to fight against the three-way coalition army was to use the strength of the country.

At this time, standing quietly under the Yuanmen, thinking quietly, according to his understanding of the character of Emperor Yan in the rumors, the other party has a domineering personality, strong, and treats the enemy who comes to attack, and has always had revenge and revenge, and there is a grudge to revenge, this time, Shu State in the Yan State when the country is in danger, turned his back on Yan State, Emperor Yan not only will not give up, on the contrary, he will definitely hate Shu State, and in the future, when the time is right, he will definitely take the lead in retaliating against Shu State.

What's more, the geographical location of Shu is special, and the Jiangbei forces are close to Yan, so it is easy to give the Yan army a chance to take revenge.

Therefore, before the army left Shu, the emperor specially told him that he must find a combined opportunity to hit Yan State hard, and if there is an opportunity, encourage the coalition army to strive to hit the coalition army hard, otherwise it will definitely cause a situation where the snake does not die but suffers from it.

At that time, the Shu State suffered, and the remaining four countries in the coalition army would also suffer a heavy blow, and even the Chu State would be implicated.

Therefore, this time he marched to Erlong Mountain to test the existence of the main force of the Yan army, and he hoped that the Shu army would succeed in one fell swoop and open a favorable situation for the war!

Once a favorable situation is formed, the next step will be to gradually weaken and severely damage the Yan army's defense in various places, and at that time, it will be just around the corner to seize a large area in the south of the Yan Kingdom.

The 50,000 army moved forward, and Feng Yi and Tuoba Yu, who were always ready, immediately took action, and the two were wary of hundreds of thousands of allied troops in the south, but when the big war began, they would still devote themselves wholeheartedly and go all out to block each other.

At this moment, they learned from the spies that part of the coalition forces left the coalition camp and quickly moved towards Erlong Mountain and the mountain road.

This small part of the coalition forces is to fight on two fronts and test the deployment of the Yan army!

Feng Yi's face was calm, staring at the Shu army under the mountain, without the slightest hesitation, he ordered: "General Tuoba, you lead the troops to defend the mountain road, and I will personally go to the southern slope to teach this group of arrogant coalition troops a lesson!" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Tuoba Yu time to discuss, and directly led the deputy general and his personal guards to turn around and leave.

In order to ensure the success of blocking the northbound coalition army, in order to eliminate more living forces of the other party, Feng Yi and Tuoba Yu arrived at Erlong Mountain, and had repeatedly predicted the direction of the coalition army's march, in the two fortresses where the southern troops could lead to the north, many enemy killing weapons were deployed, and there were 200,000 cavalry stationed here on both sides, the coalition army wanted to provoke the Yan army, and wanted to pass through Erlong Mountain, unless the army was fully pressurized, the Yan army may not be enough to defend.

At present, the coalition forces did not attack on all fronts, but attacked in batches, in Feng Yi's view, it was simply self-defeating, and the Yan army could destroy the other party as much as the other party came.

The sunset sun is moving rapidly, the light is gradually weakening, the Shu army and the Yan army are also moving, but the momentum is guaranteeing, the two sides are defending and attacking, and quickly go to the predetermined target.

The first battle between the two armies is related to the next military trend, so no one dares to take it lightly.

The cavalry of the Yan army, according to the mountain and terrain, quickly defended, even if it still did not show a trace, but formed an undercurrent surge, and the sword blade quietly drew out the scabbard, showing a sharp edge.

The Shu army camp was divided into two armies, the front army held a shield in the left hand, a spear in the right hand, a shield in the left hand in the back, and a short sword in the right hand, forming a phalanx shape and slowly moving forward.

Li Dongming, the general of the Shu army, personally led 30,000 infantry, and the army moved slowly towards the hillside, behaving very cautiously.

The coalition forces are menacing, seemingly numerically next to them, but in fact, in actual action, the armies marched, but the individual forces became very weak.

This time, Li Dongming and Han Xiaotian led 50,000 troops in an attempt to shake the huge number of Yan troops in Erlong Mountain, and when Feng Yi arrived at the predetermined position, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile of contempt.

Li Dongming led the sword and shield soldiers, stepping on the slanting sun, along the hillside towards the direction of the top of the mountain, he saw that the southern slope of Erlong Mountain is not high, about sixty or seventy zhang more, about thirty zhang forward, almost halfway up the mountain, still no trace of the Shu army, he became surprised in his heart.

Successfully arrived at the mountainside, instead of being a little happy, on the contrary, he gradually became full of gloom and was very worried.

Seeing that they had reached the top of the mountain, the Yan army never came out, and the only explanation was that it was very likely that the Yan army was lurking, and it was also possible to be on the north side of the hillside, but the distance between the two sides should be more than 100 paces, which was the best attack distance.

He couldn't figure out why the Yan army was in the routine, why he gave up the best attack location and didn't attack directly, looking at it, Li Dongming couldn't help but pout, pulled out the short sword in his hand, grabbed the shield, and said with a cautious expression: "All arms are fighting, be alert to the traces of the Yan army." ”

After that, the advancing Shu army quickly formed a formation, moving quickly and orderly, like a stream of water, quickly gathering together, forming a shield formation in the process. Using the half-human-high shield in front of him, he protected the army in the center, as if forming an extremely high wall in front of the army, and it seemed that the defense was extremely strong and very powerful.

Li Dongming was in front of the shield array, his eyes did not squint, staring at the top of the mountain, and after noticing that the Shu army had changed its formation, the Yan army still had no trace, and couldn't help but roar: "The whole army is moving forward quickly, striving to conquer the mountain in an instant." ”

At this moment, the Shu army is only more than 100 steps away from the top of Erlong Mountain, if you rush away with all your strength, it will not take much time, it seems that the Shu army will not spend a little effort, it will take Erlong Mountain.

No matter what outsiders think, at least most of the Shu army is tightly protected, and it is basically certain that it will be easy to win.

Only Li Dongming and a few generals knew in their hearts that the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the less the Yan army would appear, and once it broke out, it would be like a flood that suddenly broke through the embankment, lost its restraints, and suddenly soared.

In the blink of an eye, it may roll up stormy waves and wreak havoc on the Shu army.

Therefore, since the Yan army does not take the initiative to attack, the Shu army must quickly grasp the initiative in the war, lest when the Yan army launches an attack, the Shu army will be beaten unguarded and have no power to parry.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the midst of his preoccupied vigilance, Li Dongming suddenly heard a sound similar to a rope breaking from the back of the hillside, and couldn't help but cheer up.

His words to remind the whole army to be vigilant didn't have time to shout, and those fast-flying ropes flew directly and hit the shields of the front army, many of which crossed the shield and slapped on the Shu army, causing the Shu army to scream.

These will only cause Li Dongming to be stunned slightly, but they will not cause him to be jealous and afraid, but when the rope hits the shield and everyone gets up from behind the shield, they directly see the huge stone on the top of the mountain, which quickly rolls down from the top of the mountain, dense, as if causing a tide of beasts, and it seems that the power generated is very strong.

After the rolling stones, at some point, in the top of the mountain, rows of cavalry appeared, holding the reins of their horses, holding crossbows, facing the remnants of the sun, looking murderous.

For a while, the formation of the Shu army became a little loose and panicked, and many people were shocked and wandered back and forth.

Even if they are veterans of a hundred battles, the impact of the half-human high stone rolling down from the top of the mountain still makes them afraid, not to mention, there are a large number of traces of swallow horses on the top of the mountain!

The crisis came suddenly and did not take precautions, but fortunately, Li Dongming did not underestimate the enemy in advance, and witnessed the great changes on the top of the mountain, and hurriedly shouted: "Formation, defense!" ”

The boulder is very large and the slope is steep, and he deeply understands that at this moment, if the whole army panics, many Shu troops will suffer heavy damage from the boulder, however, everyone works together to form a battle formation defense with the giant shield in their hands, but they may not encounter too many crises. It also avoids the army from being scattered and chased by the Yan cavalry on the top of the mountain.
