Under the shade of the tree, Jiang Wei looked bitter as if in contemplation, and in front of him were the heads of more than a dozen Wei soldiers. The number of these Wei scouts was only the tip of the iceberg, and there were at least a hundred scouts who detected the traces of the defeated army along the way. Long before they reached the Slope Valley, they were exposed to the enemy's vision for a long time.

According to the situation detected by Yang Lan, the 5,000 Shu troops under General Zhao Yun were crowded on Fengming Mountain, and the bottom of the mountain was densely covered with Wei army camp tents, surrounding the entire mountain. The number of enemy troops, as Kong Ming said, was about 30,000 people, which was not much. However, its arms are reasonably matched, swords, guns, swords and halberds are readily available, and it is obviously an independent legion, and the soldiers in the army are familiar with each other and cooperate tacitly, which is really a difficult opponent.

It stands to reason that Jiang Wei led the 8,000 Shu army iron cavalry to lurk behind, and the Wei army under the mountain should turn around and attack Jiang Weicai first. But for three days, the Wei army only sent a battalion of 5,000 people in turn to tentatively attack Zhao Yun's department, and the rest of the soldiers rested in the camp under the mountain. Jiang Wei looked at the well-defended camp, and could only shake his head and smile bitterly, he really didn't give a chance.

Jiang Wei was not in a hurry, but General Fei Yao was anxious, he hugged his fists and said: "Princess, there are thousands of Shu troops stationed behind our army. The officers and men of the three armed forces are in danger of being surrounded by enemy troops at any time. The last general is willing to lead 5,000 people to eradicate the Shu people as the vanguard. ”

Cao Ying was wearing a plain leather jacket and said with a smile: "Why is General Fei so anxious, it should be the Shu army who is anxious." The army rushed up to attack Zhao Yunshi as the next strategy, and leading the army to rashly attack the lurking Shu people could only be regarded as the middle strategy. The Shu army will soon be driven back to the outside country, and our army will fight at home, and the Shu army will not dare to sneak attack. After a long time, they can only retreat in disgrace, and then you will lead the pursuit to victory. ”

Fei Yao saw that the princess was confident, so he had to make a promise, and then he left the camp in a huff. The corners of Cao Ying's mouth rose slightly, and her smile was intriguing. I only heard her say to herself: "Fei Yao is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the method of agitation is still very effective." ”

As Cao Ying expected, Fei Yao has been crisscrossing the northwest battlefield for more than ten years, and has suppressed countless Qiang rebellions, so he naturally does not take Cao Ying in his eyes. After he walked out of the camp, he immediately snorted coldly, gathered dozens of his cronies, and led five thousand elite soldiers to attack Jiang Wei at night.

That night, the black clouds covered all the stars and moons in the sky, and the five fingers were missing in the darkness. At this time, it was the third watch in the middle of the night, Jiang Wei was still in good spirits, and there was no sleepiness on his face.

The eight thousand Shu troops in the valley all looked solemn, lined up in a long snake formation. Five thousand Qiang warriors rode their horses in front, and three thousand often defeated troops held spears in the rear. Suddenly, a fire gradually rose not far away, and Fei Yao saw that the Shu army was waiting for him, and he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. The Shu army did not take a sneak attack, but rushed towards them with a heaven-shattering roar.

As soon as Fei Yao saw the formation, he knew that the Shu army had an advantage in numbers, his face turned pale, and he said coldly: "The front army will attack and kill all the mountain monkeys of Shu Kingdom." The herald waved the flag in his hand vigorously and shouted: "The archers are ready to release their arrows, and those who retreat with heavy troops in the front army will be killed." ”

The agitated sound of war drums and the loud trumpets sounded in the valley, and a heavy infantry covered in iron armor suddenly accelerated, forming a rectangular phalanx of two hundred men in ten rows, front and back. Greet the rolling Shu army iron cavalry. A thousand crossbowmen then lined up in several columns, half-crouching, standing, or riding. They indifferently drew their bows, set up their arrows, adjusted the wolf's tooth arrows in their hands to the best angle according to the experience of countless killings, and then with a piercing creak, the longbows had been drawn into the front full moon, and the sharp feathered arrows were ready to fire.

"Shoot me!" Fei Yao's right arm swung down fiercely, and all the archers released their clasped fingers expressionlessly, and countless sharp wolf's tooth arrows swept into the air, intertwining into a rain of arrows in the air, and roared down towards the galloping Qiang iron horse. Arrows rained down the entire valley, and the Qiang warriors raised their shields to block, but many people were still shot on the spot.

The momentum of the Shu army's charge slowed down slightly, and then accelerated again. The knights pressed down the iron spears that pierced into the sky, and the sharp and dark tips of the spears quickly magnified in the eyes of the heavily armored foot soldiers of the Wei army. Fei Yao's eyes were cold, and his heart was slightly turbulent, what an elite cavalry.

The former army Sima of the "array" gave an order, and he was not in a hurry.

"Huo" 2,000 heavy armored infantry at the same time stuck the tower shield in their hands heavily into the ground. A thousand shields resonated, and a loud bang shook people's hearts. In an instant, a strong wall was already lying in the path of the iron cavalry's charge, and the halberd slowly pierced out from the gap in the tower shield, and the sharp edge was also enlarged in the eyes of the war horse.

If the Qiang Iron Cavalry wanted to raid the archers in the back row, they had to break their shields.

The cyan grimace mask covered Jiang Wei's handsome face, and the light of the fire reflected on it gave people a hideous feeling. He wielded the silver spear in his hand and blocked all the losses, the war horse under his crotch neighed, and the spear in his hand stabbed forward, cutting a hole in the steel city wall built by the Wei army's halberders, and broke into the Wei army's formation in an instant. As a general, take the lead.

"Drink" sentence Fu was not to be left behind, he led the big axe forward, and the Liangzhou horse under his crotch began to accelerate, and more than a thousand Qiang iron horsemen behind him also began to speed up, following closely behind. The surging Shu army soon entered the final sprint distance. The rolling iron hooves splashed its billowing dust, confusing the already dark sky, and the strong fighting spirit exploded in front of the two armies in the canyon.

The iron hooves of the Liangzhou war horse finally carried the smoke and dust flying in the sky, just like more than a hundred sharp war knives easily broke through the strong wall built by the halberds of the Wei army. The spear of a Qiang warrior pierced through the iron armor without hindrance, piercing the chest of the halberd who was hiding behind the tower shield. (Later, the heavy infantry was collectively referred to as halberders)

The long halberd of the Wei army also pierced the belly of the war horse, and the war horse neighed and threw the Qiang soldiers riding on it off the horse, and the bright red horse blood splashed on the faces of the soldiers along the cold wind, and the huge iron hooves fell in the air and trampled on the chest of a Wei soldier. At this moment, the crisp sound of bones shattering was clearly heard in everyone's ears.

The Wei soldier felt his chest thump and the pain spread throughout his body, as the horse's hooves crushed his heart. He opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of flesh, and the sparkle in his eyes withered like an epiphany.

"Fuck off." Jiang Wei had already rushed to the fifth row with a gun at this time, and the war horse under his crotch had also been pierced through the abdomen and fell to the ground, but this was in Jiang Wei's arms, and the green steel sword flashed, and the halberd in Wei Jun's hand was broken into wooden sticks, and the shovel gun in his right hand flashed in the air, and the iron shield was easily cut like rotten wood, and the blood was stained with armor.

"Whoever stands in my way, die," Jufu shouted, and the big axe in the air slashed down with a sharp whistling sound, and the sharp axe blade drew a strange dazzling trajectory in the air, and finally stood on a thick tower shield. "Snap" the entire shield shattered from the center. Before the Wei infantry crouching behind him could react, the slashing axe had already swept past his chest with a cold light.
