The vanguard of Zhu Wei's Shenjian Battalion entered the western mountainous area of Mengshan, and soon found traces of Zangba's Taishan thieves in the mountains.

Bao Long and Chen Ying, who were hunters, used their experience to discover some possible ambushes in advance, so after sending scouts to investigate, the Zang Ba Taishan thieves in ambush in the mountains were all exposed.

It's just that the ambush place of these Taishan thieves is also on the cliffs and slopes in the mountains, so at this time, they simply turned dark into light in the mountains and showed their banners, but they did not take the initiative to withdraw from the army.

As the vanguard army, Bao Long and Chen Ying led their troops to try to attack a slope valley, although they lost some troops and successfully captured it, but the Taishan thieves who were originally stationed here fled at the last moment by virtue of their geographical familiarity.

It can be said that Zhu Weijun lost no less than two or three hundred casualties, but it did not make the Taishan thieves lose much, and the result was that they captured an ordinary slope valley located next to the official road in the mountains.

After all, Bao Long and Chen Ying's vanguard army only had 3,000 people, and they were reluctant to waste their troops again and again, so after they sent the news back to Tai Shi Ci's side, they only found a place to camp here first, waiting for the arrival of Tai Shi Ci's army.

About a day later, Tai Shi Ci led the main force of the Divine Arrow Battalion to this side of the mountainous area, and after listening to Bao Long and Chen Ying's return in detail again, Tai Shi Ci had no other way, so he could only use this side of the mountain area as a blocking and defensive front of Zang Ba's army, and kill it little by little.

Of course, although Zang Ba sent four or five thousand Taishan thieves to ambush here, he did not dare to confront Zhu Weijun led by Tai Shici head-on.

Originally, Zang Ba wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantage of the mountains to sneak attack and ambush, and then improvise so that the three coalition forces could take advantage of the situation to counterattack, if everything went well, maybe he could defeat the Zhu Wei army led by Tai Shici here.

Unexpectedly, Zang Ba's ambush soldiers hiding in these mountains were discovered by Zhu Weijun's vanguard army before they could do anything, so this ambush strategy naturally had no effect.

As a result, the ambush here has become several dangerous places for the Taishan thief army to find a way to the official road, and they are facing the frontal battle of the defense and blocking.

However, although Zang Ba's Taishan thieves are very familiar with the mountainous terrain here, it is a pity that the quality of the soldiers is too poor, and in the face of Zhu Weijun's army, they almost formed a set of process-like attack methods, and the Taishan thief army who was defending in danger in the mountains was quickly defeated and repulsed.

In this way, it can also lay a safe foundation for the logistics and transportation of Zhu Weijun in the future, and will not give Zang Ba's Taishan thieves a chance to ambush here to cut off Zhu Weijun's grain route.

Therefore, Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion was delayed for a day or two in the western mountains of Mengshan Mountain, and then it passed without danger.

In the past, it is a small city of Qiuju, which is actually a small city converted from a private family city, the overall area is not very large, and the city wall is not so high, to say that it is a city, it is better to say that it is a relatively large garrison fort.

It's just that this Qiuju is located next to the official road in the northwest of Mengshan, which has become a city that influences Zhu Wei's army to continue to attack Liangfu County.

If you ignore this gathering, the enemy troops stationed inside can send troops to attack the flanks of Zhu Wei's army and the grain and grass transportation in the rear at any time, so only by pulling out this side first, can they continue to attack Liangfu County safely.

However, this Qiuju is five or six miles away from Liangfu County, and now the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei have directly built a connecting camp between this line, and they can send troops to set up a position outside the city of Juqiu at any time, which seems to put the battlefield of the tripartite alliance against Zhu Weijun before the Zhuqiu gathering.

Such a military arrangement made the Zhu Wei Divine Arrow Battalion led by Tai Shi Ci only find a place to camp in the western mountainous area of Mengshan, but gave the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei a great opportunity to find a mountain road in Mengshan to sneak attack Zhu Weijun's camp.

Now Liu Bei's army is stationed in this city, which is almost five or six thousand troops, and the Taishan thief army of Zang Ba is stationed in Liangfu County, which is almost nearly 10,000 troops.

As for the 20,000 Qingzhou Yuan Shaojun led by Yuan Tan, the number was the largest, so he found a slope between these two large and small cities and set up camp.

As a result, after Tai Shici discovered the military deployment of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei's allied forces here, he really had no choice but to find a place to camp in the western mountains of Mengshan.

However, Xu Shu reminded the enemy of the possibility of sneaking up the camp with the help of mountain roads, so Tai Shici laid out the camp into a plum blossom shape.

In this way, the grain and grass of the army can be hidden in the core of the camp, and five sub-camps can be set up around the inner camp, and the number of troops is two or three thousand stationed respectively, so that in the event of an enemy night attack, at most only one sub-camp of soldiers will be chaotic, and the whole army will not fall into chaos because of the robbery of the camp.

After Zhu Weijun gained a firm foothold, Tai Shici let the army rest for a day before leading his troops out of Mengshan to officially start the attack on the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei.

Of course, the next battle can only come step by step.

According to Tai Shici's idea, he first defeated the city of Qiu Ju, and then forced the three coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei to the territory of Liangfu County, so that after Huang Zhongjun arrived, he could attack Liangfu County left and right, and wipe out the enemy army in one fell swoop.

Therefore, when the troops were dispatched on this day, Tai Shici also directly put the target of the attack on the side of the Qiuju.

However, the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei did not really let Liu Bei fight Zhu Weijun alone here, so they found out that after Zhu Weijun came to attack, in addition to Liu Beijun, who was originally stationed in the city of Suqiu, Yuan Tan and Zang Ba also led troops to the outside of the city to meet each other.

However, there is still an obvious gap between the two armies of Yuan Tan and Zang Ba, and they have not really fused together, but on the whole, it seems that Yuan Tan's Qingzhou Yuan Shaojun is the main force.

As the army led by Tai Shi Ci came to a halt in formation about three miles away from the city, the armies of the two sides formed a confrontation situation in front of the city.

Now it is not easy to say which side is the attacker, although the Zhu Wei army led by Tai Shici took the initiative to attack Taishan County, but Yuan Tan and Yuan Shaojun of Qingzhou also came to attack Xuzhou, so both sides seem to have a little desire to attack.

Because Tai Shici had attacked all the way before, there was no nonsense to say about facing the coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei at this moment, and there was no need to play the generals in front of the battle or anything.

Tai Shici knew that Liu Bei's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had the courage to be unsuitable, and on his side, except for him personally, others actually went up to deliver food to people, so it was better to directly compare the combat effectiveness of whose army was stronger.

So after Tai Shici's side passed the order to attack, he conveniently separated a group of soldiers and horses from the front of the military formation set up by the Zhu Weijun Divine Arrow Battalion, and rushed forward to kill it......
