Chapter 629 Defend the mountain pass

There were more than 12,000 Xue family troops sent this time. Although the night attack on Gaojibo was successful www.biquge.info, it also lost more than 1,000 people, and Liu Ya's surrender added more than 1,000 people. And after these ten days of hard fighting, the Xue family army also had a loss of nearly three or four thousand people, except for the more than 1,000 sentry posts arranged on the shore, the Xue family army left in the cottage was less than 8,000 men and horses! Xue Wanche could only gather less than 3,000 people temporarily, and Xue Wanshu couldn't wait, so he could only lead these 3,000 men and horses to drive out of the camp with Xue Wanche, they had to rush ahead of the Xia army and block the only passage from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain! Only in this way can we buy time for Xue Wanshu to burn the grain and grass!

It's just that if they want to get to the bottom of the mountain in time, it's not an easy thing, just halfway up the mountain, they ran into three groups of enemies! Fortunately, these enemies were only a few hundred people, and with the skills of Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanche, plus nearly 3,000 men and horses, they could easily break through these blockades! It's just that the speed of going down the mountain was delayed, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the entrance to the mountain road was already blocked by a group of Xia troops!

Seeing this situation, Xue Wanshu's face changed, but he immediately calmed down again, only to see that his eyes flashed coldly, but his steps did not stop, and he shouted while running: "Fourth brother! Let's go! ”

"Good!" Xue Wanche, who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, didn't know what it meant to be afraid, and when he heard the words of his eldest brother, Xue Wanche also drank, and his eyes also showed excitement! I saw Xue Wanche kick his feet, and he actually jumped down the steps of the mountain road in one breath, jumped over the head of his eldest brother, and landed firmly in front of Xue Wanshu! Immediately afterwards, he jumped again, and directly rushed towards the Xia army who was already waiting at the mountain pass, and shouted: "Thieves! Your Xue family's grandfather is here! ”

In fact, the Xia army blocked at the mountain pass did not just arrive here, but a team of people and horses specially left behind when Wang Xiongshui and Ling Jing went down the mountain before, the purpose was to block the way of the Xue family's army! Originally, they thought that the Xue family army on the mountain did not come down so quickly, but they didn't expect that not long after Wang Xiongzao and they left, Xue Jiajun rushed over! Seeing a person falling from the sky, the two generals didn't think so much, they raised the spears in their hands one after another, and they were ready to step forward to fight!

And Xue Wanche, who jumped into the air, saw that someone was coming to meet him, and the excited look on his face increased a lot, and he shouted, and when he lifted the halberd with both hands, he swept towards the two generals below! As soon as the two generals brought up their spears, they heard two crisp bells, and the two spears were broken in response! The two generals were immediately startled, but before they could turn their heads, Xue Wanche had already landed firmly in front of them, and with a wave of the halberd in his hand, he immediately cut off the two generals in front of him!

"Ahh Both General Zhang and General Zhao are dead! Seeing that his own general didn't even make a move from the other party, he ended up with a corpse, and the Xia soldiers who were blocking behind were also immediately suppressed! After all, the fighting quality of the Xia army is not bad, although the morale has plummeted, it has not been defeated immediately, and it can barely maintain the formation!

It's just temporary! Xue Wanche didn't care which one died in front of him, which was General Zhang and which was General Zhao, he just rushed forward, and the halberd in his hand was like chopping melons and vegetables, and all the soldiers of the Xia Army who stood in front of him died tragically under his halberd! If it's just like this, it's okay, and then, Xue Wanshu rushed down with three thousand soldiers in one breath, cooperating with Xue Wanche, without any tricks, he directly crashed into the formation of the Xia army and started a fight!

The generals of the Xia army are dead, and the number of soldiers is less than a thousand, although the intersection was blocked by the other party, but the Xue family army was a top-down rush, in the terrain, the Xia army did not take much advantage, and soon, this battle ended with the annihilation of the Xia army!

Xue Wanshu, who was covered in blood, indifferently cut off the head of the last Xia army, but looked at the river bank in front of him. I saw that there was a fire in the sky, and I could faintly see that the shadows of many ships had already docked, and it seemed that the riverbank had fallen! Xue Wanshu's eyes also showed a trace of heartache, that was a thousand soldiers of the Xue family! Every soldier is the hard work of the Xue family! Knowing this, I would have sent the remaining 1,000 or so soldiers to guard tonight!

It's too late to regret it now, Xue Wanshu knows that although he successfully occupies the mountain pass, it doesn't mean that the battle is over! On the contrary, the real battle had just begun, seeing that a large number of Xia troops had begun to go ashore, Xue Wanshu did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately gave an order to let a thousand soldiers stand on the rocks on both sides with bows and arrows in hand, while the remaining two thousand soldiers were blocked at the mountain pass, lined up to prepare for battle!

"Big brother! You see! At this time, Xue Wanche, who was next to him, looked back, but his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the cottage on the hillside and shouted, and Xue Wanshu also immediately looked back, and just saw that on the top of the mountain behind him, the fire was soaring into the sky, which was the location of the granary behind the cottage!

Seeing this scene, Xue Wanshu was immediately overjoyed, and Xue Wanche also smiled: "Great! That's great! The second brother has successfully set the granary on fire! ”

"Fourth brother! Don't take it lightly! Although Xue Wanshu was also ecstatic in his heart, he still calmed down quickly, he knew that with the firelight, those Xia troops would definitely rush to the mountain, wanting to keep the grain and grass! And the pressure on them here will increase! However, Xue Wanshu also strengthened his confidence, and he must delay the enemy's time to go up the mountain as much as possible!

"Don't worry! Eldest brother! When it came to fighting, Xue Wanche had never been afraid, and immediately he clenched the halberd with both hands, stretched out his tongue and lips, and said with a smile: "With me, those rabble under Dou Jiande, don't want to live here!" ”

Xue Wanche was so confident, Xue Wanshu also smiled, and didn't say anything more, their Xue family boys, but there are no greedy and afraid people! Immediately, Xue Wanshu also stepped up the arrangement of the defense line, in order to delay the opponent as much time as possible!

It didn't take long for the Xia army to rush to the mountain pass, but the leader was not the general Wang Xiongsao, but the two generals of the Xia army, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian! Both of them are generals under Dou Jiande, although they are not as brave and good at fighting as Wang Xiongsao, but they can be regarded as fierce generals in the army! The two of them were the first to attack the riverbank defense line, and when they saw the fire on the hillside, they also guessed that the Xue family army was burning grain, and they also knew the importance of grain and grass, so they hurried over!

Seeing that the Xia army had rushed to the mountain crossing, Xue Wanshu didn't say a word, he waved his arm directly, and for a while, countless arrows flew down from the stone slopes on both sides of the mountain pass, and instantly fell into the Xia army's military formation, bringing countless screams!

"There's an ambush!" Previously, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian were only concerned about rushing to the cottage, and they didn't pay much attention, and the mountain pass was dark, so they really didn't find the Xue family army blocking there, so they were ambushed! However, after all, the two of them were the generals in the Xia army, and when they saw an ambush, they immediately shouted and stopped the advance of the soldiers behind them, and at the same time, Cao Zhan also waved the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Where are the archers?" Fight back! Fight back! ”

There were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses brought by Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian, and there were many archers among them. It's just that the archers of the Xue family army are hidden in the dark, and even if the archers of the Xia army want to fight back, they can't find the target, so they can only blindly shoot arrows towards the mountain, as for whether they can shoot the target, then God really knows!

"Cao Zhan! It can't go on like this! Gao Yaxian brandished a steel gun to shoot down arrows, and shouted to Cao Zhan beside him: "Let's rush up directly!" It can't be delayed any longer! ”

Cao Zhan also saw that the fire behind the cottage was getting bigger and bigger, and knew that if he continued to drag it out, when the grain and grass were burned, even if he took down this high chicken park, it would be useless! Immediately, he nodded vigorously and agreed, and then the two of them also ordered at the same time, so that those infantry stepped forward with their weapons, braved the attack of arrow rain, and rushed forward!

And this rush, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian found that the mountain crossing is also very narrow, and it can only accommodate more than ten people at most at a time! It is not so easy for this army of nearly 10,000 people to pass through this mountain pass! And seeing that the soldier who rushed to the front had already drilled into the mountain pass, suddenly, several screams sounded, and a spear flashed out of the darkness in the mountain pass, which directly pushed back the Xia army soldier who rushed to the front! Immediately afterwards, I saw Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, two brothers, holding halberds in their hands, and killing the Xia soldiers in front of them in one go, Xue Wanche shouted angrily: "Who else wants to come and die!" Come on! Come on! ”

"!" Seeing that the grain and grass in the cottage were about to be lost, but such a team of people jumped out in front of them to block the way, Cao Zhan and Gao Yaxian were naturally very anxious, Cao Zhan scolded, and directly slapped the horse forward, carrying a big knife and rushing towards Xue Wanche, shouting: "Boy! Hugh is arrogant! Eat me with a knife! ”

"Humph!" Xue Wanche snorted coldly, and took three steps forward in a row, with each step, the Xia soldiers in front of him were going to be killed by him, and when he finished these three steps, there were no less than thirty Xia soldiers who died under his halberd! And at this moment, Xue Wanche had completely stepped out of the mountain pass, he turned the halberd in his hand, and it was almost a boundary around his body, and those Xia soldiers who were unfortunate enough to be within this limit all died under the halberd! And Xue Wanche once again pushed the halberd to his chest, facing Cao Zhan who rushed over, and shouted: "Thief general!" Don't hurry up and send him to death! ”
