As soon as the words fell, a red fireball suddenly rose from the Wing Valley City Tower, and the ominous red light reflected the entire Wing Valley in a blood-red color. Immediately afterwards, a thunderclap like the collapse of the sky and the earth came from both sides of the Wing Valley, only to see that the ridges on both sides of the city pass seemed to collapse, and countless huge stones poured into the sea, and for a while, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the dust flew.

The guards hurriedly escorted King Wu to withdraw from the city tower, and the soldiers who walked to the city gate were just at the point where the boulder fell, and the soldiers were in a mess, fleeing in all directions, and the slow ones were smashed into meat sauce by the boulders, and the fast ones could not help but trample on each other, or die or be injured.

After a long time, the rolling thunder finally subsided, and the churning dust slowly fell, and before the Wu army in the pass came back to their senses, the originally empty pass suddenly killed countless Qi troops, and these Qi people pulled out the arc position and besieged all the Wu soldiers who had just entered the pass in the Yigu Pass.

King Wu shouted that he was fooled and immediately ordered his troops to withdraw from Yigu Pass, but he found that Yigu Pass had been completely blocked by boulders, and the city tower was almost submerged in the boulders, and it was impossible to clear the road in a short time. At this time, the main force of 140,000 was cut into two sections, and he and the 60,000 soldiers in the pass had no way to survive, while the 80,000 troops outside the pass were anxious and helpless.

Taking advantage of the unstable position of the Wu army, the Qi army roared and killed, and the entire arc front advanced at the same time, quickly approaching the pass.

In the face of sudden changes and completely unknown enemy situations, the soldiers were frightened and unable to fight.

King Wu panicked and ordered a defense, but the troops were crowded and disorganized, and they were unable to resist the powerful offensive of the Qi army, and 60,000 Wu troops were trapped in the urn and were quickly killed.

When the sky was white, more than half of the 60,000 Wu soldiers had been killed or wounded. The remaining Wu soldiers struggled to establish a defensive position, tired and waiting for the next attack of the Qi army.

Zhang Xun, who was asleep, heard the sound of dancing swords outside the tent, and he knew that Ji Zheng had already gotten up. He got dressed and put on his armor, came outside the house, and sat quietly watching Ji Zheng dance his sword.

Although Ji Zheng's wrist is disabled, his body skills are still good, but it is a pity that such exquisite swordsmanship can no longer be used in actual combat.

Suddenly, Yu Ke ran over in a panic and reported to Zhang Xun on the ground: "General Zhang! Big things are wrong! ”

Zhang Xun's heart was shocked, he felt a strong uneasiness, got up and asked, "What's wrong?!" ”

"Tanma came quickly to report that my main force was ambushed in the Wing Valley!"

Ji Zheng also put away the Chongli sword and walked over and asked, "What is the specific situation?" ”

"The main force of our army entered the pass late at night last night, and when it entered the middle of the pass, it was suddenly cut off by a boulder, half of the men and horses were trapped in the pass, and the other half of the men and horses were trapped outside the pass and could not be rescued. The Qi army immediately launched an attack on our troops in the pass, and the current situation is critical! ”

"Late at night?" Ji Zheng was puzzled, "King Wu hasn't communicated with us yet, why did he act?" Moreover, the Wing Valley is heavily guarded, how can they possibly get in? ”

"It's broken...... Zhang Xun frowned and whispered, "Zhidi...... Lead it away, so that the enemy will attack it halfway, and it will be profitable. ”

"Huh." Ji Zheng smiled coldly, "Although the Art of War was written in the Wu Kingdom, it seems that the people of the Qi Kingdom applied it better. ”

Zhang Xun was very anxious, and asked again: "Where is the king?!" In the customs or outside the customs?! ”

Yu Ke shook his head and said, "I don't know, but according to Tanma's intelligence, before the boulder rolled down last night, someone in our army fired a signal flare into the sky." ”

"Huh!" Zhang Xun thumped his chest, "There are spies in the army, so the king must be trapped in the pass." No, I have to go to the rescue immediately! ”

"General! We are nearly a hundred miles away from the Yigu Pass, and it will take nearly a day to run with all our might, and I am afraid that when we arrive, the kings will not be able to support them! ”

"It's definitely too late." Ji Zheng put one hand on Zhang Xun's shoulder, pointed to the Qi army camp not far away, and said, "And don't forget, there are still 40,000 Qi soldiers staring at us." I'm afraid that as soon as you move, they will kill you. ”

Zhang Xun was so anxious that he had to pin his hopes on Ji Zheng, he looked at Ji Zheng and asked, "General Ji, what should I do now?" ”

Ji Zheng said calmly: "The best way at the moment is to respond to all changes with the same. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That means we're still in place."

"Huh?!" Zhang Xun's eyes widened, and he glared at Ji Zheng incredulously, "You mean not to go to the rescue?!" ”

Ji Zheng nodded, "That's right, we are too far away, and we are pinned down by the enemy, and rushing to rescue us is tantamount to throwing ourselves to death." And King Wu's side was just caught off guard last night, and now that the sky is bright, as long as the defense is organized, it will definitely be able to hold out for a long time, during this time, if the main force outside the pass can dredge the boulder to clear the obstacles, you can let the main force in the pass retreat back to the valley. ”

"No way!" Zhang Xun objected sharply, "This is too risky!" I must not put the king in danger! Must be saved! ”

"Okay." Ji Zheng spread his hands and said, "Please give the order to General Zhang." ”

Zhang Xun bowed his head and was silent, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly pulled out the Flame Blazing Sword and ordered: "Immediately dismantle all the chariots, gather all the horses in the army, reorganize two thousand cavalry, and lead the general himself to rush to the rescue!" ”

"Whoa!"

After Yu Ke received the order, he immediately left to prepare.

Suddenly, Zhang Xun turned to Ji Zheng and ordered: "General Ji listens to the order!" ”

Ji Zhengleng paused, then stepped over half of his body and bowed in front of Zhang Xun.

"General Ji commands the remaining 18,000 people, discard all the baggage, and immediately march towards Yigu Pass!"

"Whoa."

Ji Zheng saluted Zhang Xun and took the order. Then, Ji Zheng turned around and was about to leave, suddenly, Zhang Xun grabbed his arm and looked into his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he only slowly spit out one sentence, "Xiao Ji, please." ”

Ji Zheng patted Zhang Xun's hand lightly and left.

Zhang Xunqin led 2,000 cavalry to attack quickly, and in the morning, the cavalry troops finally arrived on the east side of Yigu Pass. Zhang Xun climbed a peak and looked at Yigu from afar, only to see that Yigu Pass was blocked by boulders, and it was impossible to clear the road in a short time. In the Yigu Pass, the Qi army was forming a huge blockade front and violently attacking the defensive positions of the Wu army.

In front of the position, there are Wu soldiers' corpses and crooked banners, the Wu army in the pass seems to have suffered most of the casualties, Zhang Xun roughly estimated, it should be close to 30,000 people, the strength of the Qi army is unknown, but it should not be much different, but the command of the Qi army is effective, and the momentum is high; The Wu army was disorganized and sat idly by.

Zhang Xun knew that he had to immediately lead the army to fight, although 2,000 cavalry was not enough to change the balance of strength between the two sides, but it could bring hope, as long as there was hope, the organization and combat effectiveness of the troops could be restored. The next thing to do is to hold on and wait for Ji Zheng to lead the reinforcements to arrive.

So, Zhang Xun reorganized his troops and chose a weak link on the Qi army's front to surprise him. The people of Qi couldn't imagine this sudden impact, and they didn't have time to adjust for a while, and they were caught off guard.

Zhang Xun did not love to fight, and did not fight with the Qi army, but led 2,000 cavalry to continue to break through, and rushed straight into the Wu army's position.

When he came to the position, Zhang Xun bowed down in front of King Wu and saluted: "The last general is too late to save the car, and I hope the king will punish him!" ”

King Wu was overjoyed, hurriedly helped Zhang Xun up, and said with appreciation: "I have General Zhang, why is it difficult to dominate the world?!" Haha, haha! ”

"The last general is ashamed!"

"How many soldiers and horses did General Zhang bring?!"

"Two thousand cavalry."

"What? Two thousand? How is it only two thousand? Didn't you bring 20,000 men?! ”

"The incident happened suddenly, I only got the news this morning, in order to save the driver as soon as possible, I had to temporarily form a cavalry and rush to attack."

"What about the rest of the troops!?"

"It's already on the way, I ordered Ji Zheng to lead the troops to come, and they can arrive in the afternoon at the earliest."

"Good...... Good ......" King Wu's confidence that had just been ignited seemed to fade again, he waved his hand tiredly, and said to Zhang Xun: "Since General Zhang is here, General Zhang will take over here, as long as the reinforcements come, we should fight back together!" Damn Qi people! General Zhang, be sure to ...... Be sure to hold out until reinforcements arrive......"

"Whoa!"

Then, King Wu turned to leave, ready to sleep, but he stayed awake all night, and King Wu's eyes were almost unable to open.

So, Zhang Xun quickly organized a defense, he went deep into the front line to personally arrange the troops, and the soldiers saw Zhang Xun appear on the position, and immediately regained their confidence.

Since Zhang Xun took over the defense, the Qi army organized a total of seven rounds of attacks. These seven rounds of attacks were more fierce than one round, although Zhang Xun successfully resisted, but the troops suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, the Qi army also paid a considerable price.

Time passed quickly, the scorching sunlight gradually became mild, and in the slanting sun, the sand field full of corpses looked particularly desolate. Zhang Xun came to the front line, stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, he was full of anticipation, because according to the time calculation, Ji Zheng should be coming soon.

At this time, a troop suddenly appeared in the distance, although the light was dim, Zhang Xun couldn't see the banner of the team clearly, but he was convinced that Ji Zheng must be coming. Zhang Xun hurriedly organized men and horses, preparing to cooperate with Ji Zhengli and fight back against the Qi army.

However, what happened next disappointed Zhang Xun, that army actually merged with the Qi army, and it seems that it was not Ji Zheng's reinforcements who arrived, but the reinforcements of the Qi army. Zhang Xun looked at the position of the Qi army, secretly complaining in his heart, as soon as the reinforcements of the Qi State arrived, the balance of strength of the two sides immediately tilted seriously, deducting the wounded, Zhang Xun's hands could meet the battle of less than 20,000 troops, while the Qi army had more than 40,000 people.

The soldiers were even more desperate, and although Zhang Xun took the lead in living and dying with them, giving them great spiritual strength, their physiology had reached its limit. They had not eaten or drunk for a whole day, and the Qi people attacked frequently, and even squinting for a while became a luxury, perhaps only death could free them from hunger, thirst and fatigue forever.
