Chapter 2 Catching Turtles in the Urn

Snow Wolf Valley is the only way for the Xianbei people to retreat to Liaodong, about ten miles long, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The middle terrain of the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info is flat, which can accommodate forty or fifty horsemen to gallop side by side, and the valley is surrounded by high mountains on both sides, and there is an exit in front and back, and there is no other way out, unless you go over the mountains. The reason why it is called Snow Wolf Valley is because it is rumored that there used to be a large number of wolves in the vicinity, and after the heavy snowfall, the roar of the wolves can be heard from far away, and no one dares to pass here. In the past hundred years, the Xianbei people have continued to expand southward, and the wolves near the Snow Wolf Valley have been killed by the Xianbei people one after another, and the rest are groups of lone wolves, which is not to be feared.

At this time, the Snow Wolf Valley was unusually quiet, and the sound of wings fluttering could be heard as birds flew by. Wang Shicheng squatted behind a boulder, his face was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes widened and he stared into the distance, and the soldiers around him were prostrate on the ground, silent, all waiting for Wang Shicheng's order.

After Dugu Nanxin led the army to break out of Shi Zhan's encirclement, he retreated all the way to the east, and the cavalry led by Li Chang was once blocked by the archers and spearmen left by Dugu Nanxin, so he did not catch up with the Xianbei army, during which Dugu Nanxin also sent a cavalry of more than 1,000 people to harass Li Chang in order to retreat smoothly, which weakened Li Chang's pursuit speed to a certain extent.

Long before Dugu Nanxin broke through, 10,000 horses led by Wang Shicheng had reached the Snow Wolf Valley, occupied the commanding heights, and ordered people to push down the boulder to block the exit to Liaodong.

The sky was completely dark, Wang Shicheng waited anxiously in his heart, but after all, he followed Shi Zhan on the battlefield for a long time, and the waves in his heart were not revealed at all, he held the boulder in his left hand, and held the war knife hanging from his waist tightly with his right hand, motionless like a stone carving, and soon, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the moonlit night.

Dugu Nanxin's Xianbei army really appeared.

A general beside Wang Shicheng looked up at Wang Shicheng, and the two looked at each other, obviously, the general also heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Wang Shicheng still squatted in place, without giving any orders, and all the soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands almost at the same time, their bodies moved slightly, ready for battle.

Dugu Nanxin's vanguard army took the lead and rushed into the Snow Wolf Valley, followed by the Chinese army, and the Xianbei army marched quickly, intending to cross the Snow Wolf Valley as fast as possible.

"Order, after the vanguard army passes through the Snow Wolf Valley, quickly occupy the high ground on both sides, and if the Zhao army chases, we will ambush them in the Snow Wolf Valley." Dugu Nanxin rode a horse and gave orders.

"Yes!" The herald quickened and hurried forward.

After about a stick of incense, the Xianbei army had basically entered the valley, and Dugu Nan was still thinking about the news from the forward battalion when he ambushed the Zhao army here.

"Report to the general, the big thing is not good, the vanguard officer ordered me to report, the way out ahead has been blocked by a boulder, several feet high, the war horse cannot pass, and our army cannot pass."

"It's not good, after falling into Shi Zhan's scheme, the generals will listen to the order, the back team will become the front team, the front team will become the back team, everyone will immediately withdraw from the Snow Wolf Valley and fight to the death with Zhao Jun! Fast! Dugu Nanxin woke up like a dream and urgently ordered a retreat, but it was too late.

Wang Shicheng stood at the entrance of the Snow Wolf Valley, and found that the Xianbei army had all entered this big pocket, and immediately set up, and the 10,000 soldiers to which he belonged suddenly shook the sky, and the Xianbei army was frightened by the sudden shout.

"Light the fireball, I'm going to roast the Xianbei people alive tonight!"

Wang Shicheng gave an order, hundreds of fireballs rolled down the hillside and rushed into the Xianbei army, and suddenly there was a wail from the Xianbei army, and some people had not yet reacted to the burning people who had become, and the soldiers around them avoided them, and Dugu Nanxin's army immediately fell into chaos.

Xianbei people have lived outside the fortress for a long time, and have always been in the company of fierce beasts, and they are fierce by nature. Dugu Nanxin was furious when he saw this, and rushed to the exit of Snow Wolf Valley first. Seeing this, his soldiers immediately sent men to counterattack the mountains on both sides, trying to occupy the high ground.

Wang Shicheng has experienced a hundred battles, how could he not know the intentions of the Xianbei people, so he immediately ordered: "Archers prepare to release arrows at Dugu Nanxin's Chinese army!" The rest of the brothers, with rolling stones and sassalwood, smashed these Xianbei people down the mountain for me! ”

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and countless stones and wooden stakes also rolled down on the mountains on both sides of the Snow Wolf Valley.

Dugu Nanxin led the army to retreat outside the Snow Wolf Valley, Wang Shicheng had already expected it, but due to the limited number of soldiers, he could only send a phalanx composed of a thousand contradictory soldiers to temporarily block the entrance to the Snow Wolf Valley to prevent the Xianbei people from rushing out of the Snow Wolf Valley and waiting for Shi Zhan's reinforcements.

Although the Xianbei people fell into a very unfavorable situation, the wildness and desire to survive in their bones prompted them to impact Wang Shicheng's infantry phalanx used to intercept them again and again, and soon, the infantry phalanx was broken through, and some Xianbei soldiers and Wang Shicheng's men fought in a scuffle.

At this moment, Li Chang's cavalry and Shi Zhan's cavalry troops had arrived, and Dugu Nanxin's Xianbei army had been completely blocked in the Snow Wolf Valley.

Xianbei people saw that the Zhao army had blocked the exit, and knew that there was no hope of breaking through, and the only way to fight to the end was to shrink their positions, and Wang Shicheng saw that Li Chang and others had arrived, so he ordered to suspend the attack.

Dugu Nanxin was embarrassed, but he was still arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Where is Shi Zhan'er? Come out and talk to me! ”

"When death is on the verge of death, do you want to entrust me with my last words?" Shi Zhan rode his horse, slowly walked through the crowd, stopped in front of the formation, and asked with a sneer.

"Okay, you Shi Zhan, Lao Tzu underestimates you, you have the ability to lead the army to fight a battle with real swords and guns, what kind of ability is it to use this strategy?"

"Hahahahahaha, Dugu Nanxin, you are still a battle-hardened person, don't you understand the truth that soldiers are not tired of cheating? Thinking that Zhuge Wolong burned Sima Yi in the gourd valley back then, but the helpless person is not as good as the sky, the heavy rain from the sky saved Sima Yi, although today I Shi Zhan does not have Zhuge Wolong's talent through heaven and earth, but you Dugu Nanxin is definitely not as good as Sima Yi's life, Snow Wolf Valley is your burial place! ”

"Phew!" Dugu Nanxin spat at Shi Zhan fiercely, and said with a sneer: "Shi Zhan, you and your subordinates are all dignified Han people, and you are willing to be the lackeys of the Qian people, and you have lost your reputation in vain, have you forgotten how many Han people Shi Le killed when he invaded the Central Plains?" ”

"This is my business, and I don't need you to ask about it." The corners of Shi Zhan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said coldly.

"Although we Xianbei people have lived outside the Sai for a long time, but they are not as murderous as the Qianbei people, why don't you take your subordinates to join me Xianbei, I will ensure that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth, what do you think?"

"Dugu Nanxin, I was born a soldier, and I have been galloping on the battlefield for 30 years, in order to kill Hu Kou and others, why do I need a horse leather shroud? What good is prosperity and wealth to me? Don't waste your tongue, I read that you are a man, and I will leave you a whole corpse! Shi Zhan was obviously not interested in continuing to talk nonsense with Dugu Nanxin, and he had slowly drawn out his sword between words.

Dugu Nanxin saw Shi Zhan draw his knife and understood that he had no way to retreat at the moment, so he slowly took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, and then said loudly: "Children, there is no way to retreat today, only to fight to the death, even if it is death, you have to pull a few more pads, are you afraid of death?" “

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The Xianbei soldiers all understand that they have completely fallen into the siege, and the time and place are not on their side, and they can only fight to the death, and they may be able to survive in death.

"Brothers, don't let go of a Xianbei person, kill me!" Shi Zhan saw that the Xianbei people were ready to break the net, and immediately issued an order for a decisive battle.

"Rush!"

"Kill the Xianbei people! Kill! “

Li Chang led the army to surround the entrance of the Snow Wolf Valley, blocking the Xianbei people in the valley, and the Xianbei people who intended to break through the Zhao army's camp were overturned by the shooters before they could rush to the front of the formation.

The Xianbei people suffered heavy casualties.
