The third ditch was finally filled in after the Cao army sent three waves of dead soldiers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhang He shouted "rush", countless Cao troops rushed towards the highest Shu army like a torrent, and the bursts of shouting and killing shook people's ears with some pain.

After seeing the method adopted by Cao Jun, Zhang Ren knew that the third ditch would be filled sooner or later, and after filling it up, Cao Jun would definitely fight hard to attack him, and the time had come to test himself.

However, there is one thing that makes Zhang Ren a lot easier, that is, Cao Jun did not send cavalry to charge in this attack, Zhang Ren can't understand why Cao Jun will not send cavalry, but whatever, so that the defensive pressure of his army is much less.

The charging Cao army was getting closer and closer, and the Cao army infantry at the forefront had already crossed the third trench, and it was less than 60 steps away from the Shu army's camp.

At this time, the power of the Shu army's bows and arrows was completely revealed. Because the north, west, and south of this mountain peak were not very open, the Cao army could not spread out a large area of the troops when attacking, so the soldiers of the Cao army were very close to each other, and there was almost no room for maneuver.

The bows and arrows of the Shu army were like a storm at this time, pouring down from the sky within a distance of fifty or sixty steps from the barracks. With such a dense bow and arrow, coupled with the fact that the soldiers of the Cao army were very dense, almost every bow and arrow hit the soldiers of the Cao army, and most of the soldiers of the Cao army were hit by more than one arrow.

The screams of "ah, ah" came out of the mouths of the Cao soldiers continuously, and in just such a moment, the Cao army broke hundreds of people, and almost none of the soldiers rushed through this death area.

The Cao soldiers who were charging behind saw that the soldiers in front of them fell down like wheat that had been cut, and the action and time of the fall were almost surprisingly consistent as if they had been discussed in advance, and the soldiers behind them all stopped.

It was so terrifying, the calves and stomachs of the Cao soldiers were trembling one by one, and their legs were not under their control at this time, and it was impossible to take a step forward.

"What's going on, why are they all down?" A Cao soldier said a sentence tremblingly, and judging by his posture, it was estimated that it took a lot of effort to say this sentence.

"Ghosts, ghosts, must be ghosts. Hell! A frightened Cao soldier shouted loudly.

One passed ten, ten passed hundred, and the Cao soldiers who charged at this time thought that it was a ghost helping the Shu army. The things of ghosts and gods were very scary, especially in ancient times.

With a hula, the Cao soldiers collectively ran towards the back, which was faster than the speed of the charge.

"Stop, stop, stop for me." General Zhang He shouted loudly from behind. But all the soldiers were frightened and stupid, and General Zhang He's words did not have any effect at all, even after Zhang He killed several retreating soldiers, he did not stop the retreating soldiers.

"Haha!" A burst of laughter came from inside the Shu army camp, and all the soldiers of the Shu army showed extremely happy smiles on their faces at this time.

"The method taught by the military advisor is really good, and now we have killed and injured thousands of enemies without abandoning a single soldier, which is really a big victory! Ha ha! General Zhang Ren said with a smile on his face.

"Yes! There is a military advisor, see what other waves the Cao army can set off. Liu Bi also looked very happy.

Around midnight and midnight.

A group of about 2,000 people was quietly and rapidly marching in the night, and the direction in which it was advancing was the Zouma Valley where the Wei army was located.

After a day of fighting, many soldiers in the Wei army were also very tired, and many soldiers entered the military tent early to rest. The guards outside the camp were also too late at this time, and kept bowing their heads to suppress their sleepiness.

Under the leadership of Zhang Bao, the two thousand Shu troops took advantage of the thick night to quietly come to a distance of less than 100 steps from Cao's military camp and stopped.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the sound of the soldiers' breathing was so clear at this time. And the snoring sound came from the Cao army camp in front of them.

"Hey, hey! It was a sweet sleep! ”

Zhang Bao laughed in his heart. Then I saw Zhang Bao wave his hand, and suddenly I saw two thousand soldiers start to act. Hundreds of drums were laid out in less than a moment's time, and many soldiers still had gongs in their hands.

"Let's go." Zhang Bao shouted in a low voice.

Suddenly, a very rapid war drum sounded, rumbling, resounding through the sky. The sound of war drums was also mixed with the piercing sound of gongs, and the two voices were superimposed, so lively.

"Rush, kill. Capture Xiahou Yuan alive, capture Xiahou Yuan alive. "When the two thousand soldiers played drums and gongs, their mouths were not idle, and they kept shouting.

Due to the lack of progress in the battle during the day today, Zhang Jaw was severely reprimanded by Xiahou Yuan, and gave Zhang Jaw a death order, telling him to take the mountain where Zhang Ren is located tomorrow, otherwise he will be involved in military law.

Zhang Jaw naturally couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to accept the order. And what makes Zhang Jaw even more troublesome is that Xiahou Yuan will not let the cavalry participate in tomorrow's attack, because there are not many military horses in the river crossing belt this time, so Xiahou Yuan will use all the limited war horses for the final decisive battle.

In desperation, Zhang Jaw recruited his lieutenant generals and partial generals overnight, and told everyone about Xiahou Yuan's orders. After hearing this, everyone was also worried, and they didn't know whether they could win this mountain tomorrow.

The discussion was not until it was close to the time, and then they dispersed. Zhang Jaw was also so sleepy that he couldn't stand it, so he fell asleep on the bed. But not long after he lay down, he heard the sound of war drums coming from outside the camp.

At this moment, the Wei soldiers in the camp also woke up, and hurriedly picked up their weapons and put on armor one by one.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." A general of the Cao army shouted loudly.

Many of the Cao soldiers also rushed towards the gate of the camp at this time, all of them looked fierce and vicious.

"Where, where is the enemy?" A partial general came to the gate of the camp and asked the guards at the gate anxiously.

"General Qiyu, we haven't found the enemy either." One of the guards hurriedly replied.

Hearing the sound of war drums, Zhang Jaw also hurriedly got up from the bed, picked up his weapon and walked out of the military tent. At this time, one of his lieutenants ran over and said to the open jaw:

"General Qiyu, now I only heard the sound of war drums, but I didn't find the enemy."

"What. Where did the drums of war come from without the enemy? Zhang Jaw asked strangely.

"We don't know about that."

"Then don't you check it out quickly."

When the lieutenant heard the words of the open jaw, he ran in the direction of the war drums like a gust of wind. As he ran, he constantly beckoned his soldiers to go with him.

Since there was no progress in the battle during the day, Xiahou Yuan also lay down on the bed very late tonight to rest. When he was sleeping, he was awakened by the sound of war drums, and years of experience told him that it was an enemy attack.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly got up, picked up his weapon and walked out of the military tent, at this time, Cao Zhen and the others also happened to walk out of the military tent, and several people got together, and they also felt very strange. Listen only to the drums of war, and see no enemy coming.

A guard hurriedly came to several generals at this time and told the generals about the situation, and Xiahou Yuan was furious after hearing this.

"The cunning Shu army, if you have the ability, you will come to fight me to the death."

It didn't take long for the drums of war to sound, and then they stopped. Later, the people who went to the camp to find out the news came back and said that they found traces of human activity a hundred steps outside the camp, and when they arrived, there was no one.

After more than half an hour of tossing, Cao Jun returned to his military tent one by one to rest. Many people are not sleepy after this toss, and they can't sleep even if they want to sleep for a while. The entire Cao military camp can also be heard from time to time people's discussions, but after a long while, the discussion gradually disappeared, and the entire Cao military camp returned to quiet.

On the second day, after breakfast, Zhang Jaw led more than 10,000 men and horses to the peak where Zhang Ren was located again.

After Cao Jun finished arraying, he opened his jaw and looked at the soldiers, only to see that many soldiers had some sleepiness on their faces, it seems that last night's incident had a lot of impact on the mental state of the soldiers!

"Soldiers, the more the enemy is like this, the more it shows that they are afraid of us and dare not confront us head-on.

Soldiers, take up your weapons, raise your shields, and rush forward with me! Come on! ”

After opening his jaw and shouting, he was the first to rush towards the mountain peak. The Wei soldiers behind also shouted and rushed towards the mountain peak in front of them, under the agitation and leadership of Zhang Jaw.

After yesterday's day of fighting, Zhang Ren and the others also felt a little tired. But after a night's rest, the fatigue disappeared. Because there was a certain distance between the Zouma Valley where Cao Jun was located and the mountain peak where Zhang Ren was located, Zhang Ren did not hear the war drums of last night.

Soon after dawn today, Zhang Ren received the news from the scouts that Zhang Jaw led more than 10,000 Cao troops to attack the mountain again. After Zhang Ren got the news, he naturally hurriedly asked the soldiers to get ready. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Ren to see Zhang Jaw leading the army to the bottom of the upper peak.

Watching Cao Jun begin to attack the mountain peak, Zhang Ren had a faint feeling in his heart that today's battle might not be easy.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Jun rushed to a place sixty or seventy steps away in front of the Shu army camp, and with Zhang Ren's order, countless flying arrows flew towards the Cao army in front of him.

Since Cao Jun had already suffered a loss yesterday, each of the Cao Jun who rushed to the front this time was holding a shield, and after seeing the flying arrows flying, all the soldiers raised their shields above their heads.

Seeing that Cao Jun was protected by a shield, Zhang Ren knew that the bows and arrows shot by his soldiers were much less lethal to Cao Jun, although he could still shoot Cao Jun from time to time, but compared to yesterday, it was indeed much less.

The Cao army outside the barracks kept shooting with a flick of arrows, and every time a lot of Cao Jun was killed or wounded, but the Cao army was still getting closer and closer to the barracks.

After a while, Cao Jun came to a distance of about forty paces from the camp. Seeing that Cao Jun was getting closer and closer to the barracks, many Shu soldiers showed a somewhat nervous expression of perseverance on their faces.

With General Zhang Ren's "repeater launch", the repeater machine at the front of the barracks, under the control of the soldiers, sent out ten iron crossbow arrows in a row, and flew over the Cao army in front of him with a roar.
