Wang Zhaode's heart-rending cry made the scene sad for a while. A small colonel who was watching www.biquge.info came forward to convince him: "The general, please mourn, the last general thinks that this place is not a place to stay for a long time, let's send the general's body back to the city first." Wang Zhaode raised his head at this moment and said in the direction where Brother Wei Chi fled: "I, Wang Zhaode, swear here today that if I don't avenge my brother, I will kill myself in front of his spirit card." With that, he got up and ordered his soldiers to tie Wang Wende's body to the horse. Everyone brought the bodies of other sergeants back to Feng Xucheng.

Yang Kan was also surprised when he saw Wang Zhaode coming back with Wang Wende's body, and stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?" What happened to General Wang? Wang Zhaode said sadly: "My brother died on the battlefield in order to pursue the two thief leaders of the Wei Chi family, and dozens of soldiers accompanying him were martyred. Looking at the corpses that were transported into the city one after another, Yang Kan only lamented, it was originally a victory drama, but the ending was overshadowed, which is really regrettable.

Gao Huan learned that Feng Xu had won it, and although there were some episodes during the period, the plan was still going smoothly. Li Hu was very dissatisfied with Wang Wende's death, but he couldn't blame anyone, because it was Wang Wende who was ambushed and killed by the enemy after he was chasing, Gao Huan also expressed his condolences to him and Wang Zhaode as soon as he knew about it, and even directly promoted Wang Zhaode to Feng Xu Taishou and General Huwei.

But after all, it was his right-hand man who died, and Li Hu was still a little unhappy about this matter. Murong Shaozong's troops had been looking for an opportunity in the confrontation with Yang Zhong, when gunpowder smoke came from the Meridian Valley in the south, and it turned out that Wang Taotang's 10,000 men had gone south to attack Da Xiwu's defenders, wanting to pry open the Meridian Valley Road they were defending and give Gao Yue's troops a chance to enter the pass here.

Gao Yue's troops had not all withdrawn from Guanzhong before, and there were still 2,000 people and a stockade left in the Meridian Valley. The large army retreated to Hanzhong to recuperate. Li Bi's troops also all returned to Chengdu, so there was no big threat to Gao Yue at the moment, and Gao Huan gave him an order to enter the customs here. So after resting for a few days, he waved his army north here, wanting to enter Guanzhong from the Meridian Valley, but the exit was blocked by Da Xiwu with a boulder on the mountain, and he still couldn't get out. I had to send someone to report to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan immediately asked Murong Shaozong to send someone to open up the way out of the Meridian Valley, so Wang Taotang's troops were sent to attack Da Xiwu. Da Xiwu has 8,000 people under his command, but they are scattered in three villages, at this moment the three roads in one may be a low-grade attack of Wang Taotang, Da Xiwu then ordered Li to gather three people and horses to defend one place, Wang Taotang really came with troops to challenge.

The two armies took up positions ten miles directly above the exit of the Meridian Valley. Da Xiwu's infantry was mainly spearmen, which was very effective against cavalry, and lacked melee armor equipment, Wang Taotang's troops were mixed with cavalry, and could also fight on foot and on horse, but in view of Da Xiwu's home field to wait for work, he decided to use cavalry to consume the opponent.

The two armies were clamoring for each other, and only the 25,000-strong Gao Yue troops in the Meridian Valley had no way to watch the fire from across the river. The first to attack was Wang Taotang, who ordered the cavalry on the left and right to outflank him in a roundabout way, wanting to give Da Xiwu an encirclement tactic. Da Xiwu was immediately hungry and immediately mobilized his troops, and the left and right armies were arranged in a circular formation, and only the Chinese army stood still. On the outermost side of the circular formation were a large number of pikemen.

When the cavalry came over, they saw that they were all pikemen deployed at fixed points, and they were also very frightened. They all circled around the enemy's formation, looking for it like a big piece of fat meat was cooked, but they salivated but couldn't find a place to put their mouths. Da Xiwu's dense gun array made Wang Taotang's cavalry useless, and he also took the opportunity to provoke Wang Taotang and said: "The noise on the opposite side is not stopping, are you here to hunt?" Besiege but not attack incivility, is it because you are afraid? ”

Wang Taotang was originally angry in his heart that this guy shamelessly put on an iron bucket formation to defend, and at this moment he was still saying cool words, he immediately roared angrily: "Don't be arrogant, don't think that I can't do anything to you if I break the formation?" Kill me! He ordered the cavalry of the two armies on the left and right to crash into the spear array, and immediately the men turned over on their backs and were killed and wounded, and occasionally a few horses rushed into the enemy formation, but unfortunately they were all put down as soon as they entered, and they were killed in the formation.

The cavalry on the left and right sides couldn't bear such a suicidal attack, and they all held back in fear, Wang Taotang was not a reckless horseman after all, and he really couldn't rush through Xi Wu's gun formation, as long as he ordered the cavalry to return to defense, and then ordered the archers of the Chinese army in front to start shooting at the enemy. Da Xiwu seemed to have been prepared, and immediately ordered the entire army's position to slowly move back and hide beyond the range of the archers.

This makes Wang Taotang feel very tricky. The cavalry pressed up, and the opposite side was an iron bucket array, and the archers pressed up, and the people retreated into the stockade. How will this battle be fought? At this time, the boulder at the exit of Meridian Valley made him suddenly remember that he was not here to destroy Da Xiwu, why did he fight to the death with him? His purpose here was to dissolve the boulders blocking the way at the exit of Meridian Valley, so he ordered a force of 3,000 people to move south, and the boulders near the exit of Meridian Valley, the explosives and gunpowder that had been prepared before were taken out one after another.

This next round arrived at Xi Wu dumbfounded, he originally wanted to attract the attention of the Eastern Wei army and prevent them from rescuing Gao Yue's men, but now he is a little stubborn on his side and does not attack, Wang Taotang will take people to blow up the boulder, which is completely beyond his expectations. So he had to give up the defensive position, and also let the troops move south to the exit of the Meridian Valley, his move was in the hands of Wang Taotang, and Wang Taotang was waiting for him.

The cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty came out of the battle here, this time the gun array on the opposite side was not as stable as before, there were many disjointed places between people, the front of the formation began to have cracks, the cavalry generals grabbed these gaps and rushed in to kill, the infantry's ability to resist the attack was not so strong, and at this moment it was the impact of the cavalry, so the opposite side was quickly dispersed, and Wang Taotang was finally overjoyed, and immediately urged the Chinese army to press up and crush the opposite side. At this time, the Western Wei army was already defeated, and it was becoming more and more unstoppable, and Da Xiwu saw that he was powerless to stop the other side, so he had to withdraw his troops.

This ordered Xi Wu really shouldn't have chosen to retreat so rashly, because he would then have to face not only Wang Taotang's 10,000 people, but also Gao Yue's 20,000 or 30,000 troops in the Meridian Valley. With his 8,000 men, he was completely unable to resist the attack of nearly 40,000 men. Gao Yue's people finally came out of the Meridian Valley, and Wang Taotang was shouted in front of him and said, "Thanks to General Wang's help this time, now it's okay, let's go up and kill the little cubs of the Western Wei Dynasty." Wang Taotang nodded, as a precursor, and went straight to Da Xiwu's camp.

At this moment, if Da Xiwu was clever, he would retreat immediately, but this person was strong, and he was not willing to return to Yuwen Hu like this, so he ordered the whole army to defend and defend the camp. So Wang Taotang's cavalry was useless. Gao Yue's troops only left 3,000 men to help him attack, and the remaining more than 20,000 people all marched north to force Chang'an. Da Xiwu didn't expect Gao Yue to play cards like Wang Taotang without common sense, completely ignoring his troops and going directly to Chang'an. He had no choice but to order the whole army to attack and pursue Gao Yue's troops. (To be continued.) )
