As soon as Murong Shao left Huguan, he was detected by the Hexi scouts who had been secretly watching.

Wang Zhenwei immediately led a large army from the valley of the Qingshu River and covertly marched along the mountain path to the ambush area.

Due to the recent light rain, the roads are muddy, and the mountain roads are rugged, which greatly increases the difficulty of the march.

Fortunately, the Hexi Army was well-trained, and all the officers and men were well aware of the significance of this battle, so the officers and men of the whole army were in high spirits and had high morale.

At dawn the next day, the army successfully entered the ambush position.

Wang Zhenwei immediately ordered the news to be tightly sealed, and to do a good job of concealment and camouflage to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

The entire ambush position is mostly shady, and the potholes are full of rainwater.

In the early morning, the temperature in the mountains was very low, and the soldiers of Hexi endured the cold and hid motionlessly.

Wang Zhen guarded the high ground, keeping a close eye on the situation on the battlefield, ready to deal with possible unexpected situations at any time.

As a master of the art of war in the world, he has always believed that in ambush battles, 'ambush' is the means, and 'attack' is the goal.

'Volt' is to create conditions for 'attacking', and 'hitting' is the inevitable result of 'volt'.

The quality of the 'volt' determines the size of the effect of the 'hit', and the two are interrelated and indispensable.

In ambush battles, when the enemy does not appear, the ambush army must wait patiently and calmly.

It is not possible to attack too early, expose the intention of the ambush, and cause the enemy to turn around and flee.

They can't attack too late, they can only grab the enemy's tail, and they can't hit or annihilate the enemy.

The time passed quickly, and the whole day passed, but there was still no trace of the enemy.

At this time, it was the time to test patience, and under Wang Zhen's strong order, the whole army continued to stand by in concealment.

Until everyone was waiting a little anxiously, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, which suddenly made the Hexi people on both sides nervous.

In the distance, about 2,000 Houyan sergeants, lined up in a long queue, were slowly moving from the east towards the ambush section.

Because the Yan army brigade passed on the beach at the bottom of the valley, the road was soft, and the cavalry could only dismount and crawl slowly.

Wang Zhen's evil eyes stared at the enemy without blinking, and only after the Yan people and horses entered the ambush circle did he give the order to attack.

Suddenly, the Hexi army that was ambushed around suddenly came out, and the longbows and crossbows opened fire in an instant, and the arrows rained down on the enemy.

The unsuspecting Houyan people were beaten by the sudden and fierce attack, and they were stunned and panicked.

The soldiers and horses rushed around the ravine like headless flies, and the whole marching formation suddenly lost control and was in chaos.

Some Houyan people climbed on the horse's back with the reins of their horses and tried to escape on their horses, but before they could run a few steps, they were shot dead by archers like targets.

There are also some Houyan people who tried to resist in vain, but they were overwhelmed by the crossbow arrows flying in the sky.

Murong Shao in the team had already realized that he had been ambushed, but he didn't think about Hexi, he was just surprised that the bandits' combat effectiveness was beyond imagination.

This time, in order to exterminate the bandits, Murong Shao brought two thousand foot horses, but as a result, half of them were wiped out as soon as they saw each other.

At this moment, it was evening, and hundreds of 'thieves' took advantage of the dim light to attack with knives, guns and clubs.

And as soon as it came up, there was a salvo of crossbows, and the sky was full of feathered arrows whizzing out from all directions, and at the same time, many stones and logs rolled down.

The soldiers who were at the forefront were caught off guard and were shot dead and wounded several times.

"Beware, brethren! Let's build a defensive position on the spot and carry out a counterattack! ”

After roaring, Murong Shao drew his long knife and kept scolding his subordinates, trying to organize an effective counterattack.

But due to the incomparably chaotic scene, all kinds of voices overwhelmed everything.

Except for the soldiers around him, who heard the commander's orders clearly, most of them still scurried around like headless flies.

However, he saw that the soldiers of the Hexi Army were standing on the side of the high ground, condescendingly, using all their strength to push down the boulders and rolling logs prepared in advance.

"Boom ......" Suddenly, a terrifying loud noise erupted.

The Houyan people suddenly heard a loud noise, and unconsciously looked up, and suddenly their souls flew away in fright, only to see countless boulders and rolling logs falling towards their heads.

After a few breaths, one hundred and ten people were smashed into meat sauce, and the red and bright blood was splashed with the broken limbs, and the scene was bloody like hell.

There were also Houyan people who were lucky enough to avoid the rolling wood and stones, but unfortunately, before they could catch their breath, the fragments that burst apart shot out and flew towards the panicked crowd.

There is not much space in the valley road, just enough for a horizontal column of about 20 people to pass, and 2,000 people in the narrow valley road are particularly crowded.

In the case of boulders and rolling logs falling continuously, it is undoubtedly the most deadly to be crowded and unable to move.

Boulders and rolling logs are like meteors, constantly falling from above, smashing the Houyan people and screaming.

In order to avoid the rocks and rolling wood, in order to survive, the Houyan people pushed each other, and the whole team was in a mess, trampling on each other and killing countless people.

Looking at the robes around them that were extremely miserable, many Yan soldiers began to drop their weapons and flee.

Seeing that the battlefield was becoming more and more chaotic, Murong Shao had to kill a few people with his own hands to stop the decline.

After several waves of bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, rolling logs, and stones, Qi Ganali and Bald Wei Tan each led some men and horses to kill from the front and back.

The drums around were loud, and the originally impermeable rain of arrows finally disappeared, followed by shouts of killing.

The shouting and killing sound was endless, mixed with the echo of the valley, making the Houyan people feel as if there were thousands of troops and horses around.

Many Hexi troops armed with swords and guns roared towards the Yan army.

Due to the narrow terrain, the two sides were not allowed to form a formation at all, and they all fought together.

The demoralized Houyan people, where is the opponent of the Hexi Army?

As soon as the battle began, more than a dozen people on the Houyan side were cut to the ground.

The one who rushed to the front was the one who was in charge.

He opened his voice and shouted loudly: "The Hexi army is here, why don't you tie your hands immediately?" ”

"But there are stubborn people, all of them will be killed, and no one will be left!"

It was only at this time that the ambushed Houyan figured out that the opponent was not a bandit or a bandit at all, but the Hexi Army.

As a result, the courage that was originally hard to be summoned suddenly plummeted again.

"General, hurry up!"

"If you don't leave, not only will you and I fall here, I'm afraid the pot will not be able to save it."

There was no need to be reminded by others, when he learned that the opponent was the Hexi Army, Murong Shao knew that he had been calculated.

Now this is a Jedi, and you can't stay for long.

Otherwise, once the whole army is annihilated, the pot will definitely not be protected!

At the moment, his only thought was to break out of the ambush circle as soon as possible, and preferably withdraw to the kettle.

At that moment, Murong Shao could no longer care about being in a daze, and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!! ”

After drinking, Murong Shao pulled the reins of his horse, surrounded by dozens of personal guards, and rushed towards Wanglu frantically.

However, the group had not been far away when they heard shouts of killing in front of them.

Wang Zhenwei, who was originally in charge of watching the enemy's formation, had expected that Murong Shao would escape, so he arranged in advance for Qigan Ali to come and intercept him.

Qigan Ali led people to block the retreat and killed the Houyan sergeants who tried to escape one by one.

Due to the narrowness of the road, although the Hexi army responsible for intercepting it was only a few hundred people, Taniguchi was firmly controlled.

The Houyan people rushed several times in a row, but they all ended in failure, and no one could rush out at all.

Within thirty paces of the valley road, it was a death zone.

Under Murong Shao's strict orders, a group of Houyan people braved the rain of arrows to continuously charge.

But once they reached the death zone, the terrifying wave of arrows immediately shot everyone into hedgehogs.

If the Houyan people wanted to break through with the help of shields, they would immediately have boulders and rolling logs smashed at them until the shield wall was smashed apart.

Murong Shao saw that the back road was blocked by the Hexi army, and immediately understood the intentions of the Hexi people, and suddenly his face was pale and hideous, and he roared unwillingly.

In less than half a pillar of incense, more than 1,000 people died in Houyan, and boulders, rolling logs, and corpse fragments were all over the valley road.

Wang Zhenwei stood on a hill in the distance, observing the entire battlefield.

At this time, the enemy has been divided into several sections, and it is not only difficult to concentrate forces to counterattack, but also inconvenient to command and cooperate, and even more difficult to form effective resistance.

Seeing that the enemy had reached the end of his life, he decisively seized the fighter and gave an order to launch a final attack on the remnants of the enemy.

The soldiers of Hexi rushed into the enemy line like tigers descending from the mountain, and quickly eliminated the stubborn enemy.
