42. Bow to the wind
Zhongtiao Mountain is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, stretching for hundreds of miles from east to west, spanning the three countries of Jin, Yu and Liang, majestic and majestic, and the terrain is dangerous.
Wangwu Mountain belongs to the branch of Zhongtiao Mountain, most of them are located in the territory of Yu State, high in the west and low in the east, it is the dividing line between Jin and Yu since ancient times, Jin State is in the north, Yu Country is in the south.
At this moment, Zhou Yu was leading more than 4,000 soldiers to ambush on both sides of the valley, and under his feet were the rolling stones and rolling trees that Baili Shi had prepared for nearly half a month. I thought that Bai was busy, but what people didn't expect was that the Jin army did not come from the west but arrived from the east.
When Zhou Yu was chatting with the soldiers, he heard that Bailishi had piled up a large number of rolling stones and woods on both sides of the valley in the west of the building, and decided to lead his troops to evacuate the Louzhai Pass, lure the enemy deeper, and use the ready-made rolling stones and woods to annihilate the enemy, which can also be regarded as comforting Bailishi's spirit in the sky.
"The whole army is out of the pass, follow me up the mountain, and prepare to ambush the enemy army!"
Zhou Yu immediately led his troops to leave the building, and before leaving, he piled up a large amount of dry firewood and withered grass in the pass, and sprinkled sulfur, fire and other flammable materials in it. And ambushed 300 crossbowmen in the hidden place outside the pass, only waiting for the Jin army to return from the defeat and then burn the building at night to inflict secondary damage.
In order to confuse the Jin army, Zhou Yu did not tell Zhang Liao about the plan to give up the building and lure the enemy into the depths, so that the play would be realistic, so that the Jin army would get into his pocket without any worries and face it head-on.
The cold north wind blew, the barren grass all over the mountains swayed with the wind, and more than 4,000 soldiers of the Yu army held their breath and quietly hid on the slopes on both sides, waiting for the Jin army to enter the net.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The scout who was standing at the top of the hill and was in charge of the sentry blew a loud whistle and reported loudly to Zhou Yu, who was in the middle of the command.
Zhou Yu hurriedly climbed up dozens of zhang, looking eastward, but saw five or six thousand Yu soldiers fighting and leaving, and more than 40,000 Jin troops following and pursuing, sweeping all over the mountains.
Different from the elegant image of the previous personable, at this moment, Zhou Dudu is wearing a helmet and armor, wearing a military uniform, looking a little heroic, and his eyes are flashing with confidence in victory.
"Visually see that the two armies still have fifteen miles to reach the bottom of the mountain, everyone is ready to ambush and listen to my orders!" Zhou Yu drew his sword in his hand and ordered loudly, with an irresistible majesty in his voice.
More than ten miles away people shouted horses neighing, and the dust was filled, Zhang Liao led more than 5,000 remnants of the army to defeat and fight and leave, but he couldn't get rid of the Jin army for a while.
"Where did Zhou Yu lead his troops?"
Zhang Liao swung his knife and slashed down a Jin army who was close at hand, puzzled and angry in his heart, and couldn't guess what happened in the building?
If the building was attacked by the Jin army, why was there no trace of fighting? If it wasn't for the sneak attack of the Jin army, then why did Zhou Yu lead his troops to abandon the pass?
"Death to those who chase me!"
Zhang Liao saw that more than ten Jin soldiers were chasing after him in a hurry, trying to surround himself in the center, he couldn't help but be furious, turned his horse's head and charged violently, cutting off several heads, frightening the other Jin soldiers to scatter in a hurry.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was brave and good at fighting, commanding well, and the competitive Zhu Rong was not to be outdone, the flying knives in his hands were fired continuously, and several Jin soldiers were shot in the throat or in the face, covering the bloody wounds and screaming like killing pigs.
The Jin army that rushed in front was shocked by these two fierce generals, and involuntarily slowed down, Zhang Liao and Zhu Rong took the opportunity to urge the troops to hurry, and the distance between the two sides was once again stretched to one hundred and ten zhang.
Fox Shooting Aunt's brother Fox Shooting Uncle was eager to avenge his brother, and charged hard with a double-edged halberd in his hand, shouting loudly to the Jin army to speed up: "Give me all the strength to catch up, who dares to slow down, don't blame me for being ruthless under the halberd!" ”
"Kill, Yu Jun is gone, and those who surrender will not die!"
Under the supervision of Uncle Fox Shooting, the Jin army mustered up courage, lifted the morale of the army, and shouted loudly to chase after the Yu army.
The Jin army chased westward for more than ten miles, gradually approaching the foot of Wangwu Mountain, the road became narrower and narrower, the mountains on both sides were undulating, and the wind was heard from time to time.
The Jin army pursued the Yu army all the way for sixty or seventy miles, and killed four or five thousand people, including the general Bailishi, although the soldiers were at the foot of the valley, but they did not suspect that there was fraud, and under the urging of Zhao Dun, Uncle Fox and other generals, they chased after each other, and strived to wipe out this Yu army in one net, and avenged the fox shooting aunt.
The two armies soon entered the valley, and the sound of fighting resounded in the sky.
Zhou Yu stood on the hillside and quietly watched Zhang Liao lead the team through under his feet, only to see that he was covered in dust, and his battle robe had already been stained with blood, which showed how cruel this battle was!
After Zhang Liao's horse was broken, the Jin army followed the pursuit, swarming, and soon filled the valley, and the army behind was still pouring in, like a rushing river into a narrow channel.
"A Thousand ......"
"Two Thousand ......"
Zhou Yu stood on the hillside and silently counted the number of Jin troops passing under his feet, preparing to cut off the valley and attack Zhang Liao in front and back, and wipe out the Jin army blocked in the west, "More than 3,000 people have passed...... It should be enough, and no matter how many there are, I'm afraid it won't be easy to annihilate! ”
With a "choking" sound, Zhou Yu drew his sword and stood up, and let out a long roar: "Smash it for me!" ”
"Kill, Jin Kou will die!"
Yu Jun, who had been holding back for most of the day, broke out with a thunderous shout, stood up from the grass in unison, lifted the grinding plate-like rock high, and smashed it down on the top of the Jin army's head.
The valley is cramped, there are many Jin soldiers, crowded together and there is nowhere to hide, the people who are hit are countless, the bones are broken, the brain is bursting, for a time people turn over on their backs, and the screams resound through the valley, like purgatory on earth.
"There is an ambush, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
Uncle Fox Shoot woke up like a dream, wielding a halberd to dial Diaoling, and at the same time dialing the horse to leave.
Zhou Yu saw clearly on the hillside, bending his bow and arrows to shoot the fox at the door of his uncle's head, which hit the door of the head impartially, and fell off the horse and killed him on the spot.
Suddenly attacked by the Yu army, a large number of rolling stones and trees fell from the sky, smashed the corpses of the Yu army all over the field, blood flowed into the valley, the dead were countless, almost blocking the entire valley, and the team behind could no longer advance, and did not dare to advance.
Zhao Dun, who was sitting in the center, saw that he was in an ambush, and his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, I don't know how many ambushes there were in the valley, and whether there were any reinforcements from the Kingdom of Qiu? At that moment, he turned his horse's head in hatred and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
"Retreat, the whole army retreats quickly!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Dun, the Jin army left behind more than 8,000 corpses, abandoned more than 3,000 comrades-in-arms who were blocked on the opposite side, turned around and fled eastward.
Seeing the sound of killing on both sides of the valley, rolling stones and trees falling from the sky like a flood that bursts the embankment, and the smashed Jin soldiers turned over on their backs, with no plan for death and injury, Zhang Liao woke up like a dream and threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Zhou Yu admired.
"Gong Jin is really handsome, I, Zhang Liao, bow to the wind, and let me drive it in the future!"
Zhang Liao shouted, turned his horse's head, and led the Yu army, whose morale was instantly high, to turn around and launch a counterattack against the Jin army, and let out a deafening cry one by one: "Put down your arms, those who surrender will not die!" ”
