Three days later, 5,000 Cao soldiers from Yuzhou, under the leadership of the deputy general Cao Ba, rushed over.

Cao Ba came to the back of the Xiahou Yuan camp in Wuwei River, came to report to Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan ordered: "Cao Ba, you live here, and you are not allowed to leave the camp without my order." I personally led my troops to Queweipo to camp, and then conquered the Queweipo Pass. As soon as the pass is broken, I will immediately send someone over to inform you that you will lead your troops over to guard the Queweipo Pass. Do you remember? ”

Cao Ba agreed, saying: "General, charge into battle, the two armies fight, just have our deputy general out of the horse." You are the commander of the three armed forces, and you should be in command of the operation, why should you risk the arrows and stones to conquer a magpie tail slope? ”

Xiahou Yuan said hatefully: "According to the scout's report, the Quewei Slope guard is Zhou Cang, and a person named Xing Daorong.

I know this week, but he is just a martial artist in front of Guan Yu's tent, born as a moth thief, and he doesn't have much ability.

As for Xing Daorong, I don't know he's from there.

In general, both of them are nobodies, and it seems that Liu Cong has no good generals to transfer, so he has to use these two martial artists to guard Queweipo.

Actually, I don't need to go out, just send a few of you over to take them in.

However, our army lost the first battle at Mushroom Ridge, and in order to save morale, I had to personally go out and conquer Quewei Slope.

Well, besides, the battle of Queweipo is very important, and it can only be won, not lost.

As long as the magpie tail slope is overcome, our army will take advantage of the situation and go straight to Xinye.

In this way, the battle to rescue Fancheng can be opened.

Otherwise, the only way to do this is to retreat back to Yuzhou. If this is the case, Fancheng will be broken, and the battle situation arranged by Wei Gong will be disrupted.

No, the battle of Magpie Tail Slope must be cautious.

Okay, just follow my orders. You have led 5,000 men and horses here as a pick-up. I have my own arrangements for the things on the front line. ”

Cao Ba listened, sang and ordered to stop talking.

Early the next morning, 10,000 Cao soldiers, under the dispatch of Xiahou Yuan, all went out and came to the bottom of the Queweipo Pass to set up a formation.

Xiahou Yuan ordered 8,000 men and horses to line up, selected 2,000 men and horses to stand in four teams, and under the command of Xiahou Yuan, prepared to attack the Queweipo Pass.

The first team of 500 men consisted of the following classes, with shieldmen in the vanguard and crossbowmen in follow, for a total of 100 men. The remaining 400 men were sturdy men with spears and swords.

According to Xiahou Yuan's arrangement, he prepared to attack like this: the shield soldier held a shield in one hand and a machete in the other, and used the shield to protect himself and the crossbowmen to charge forward.

If the Jingzhou soldiers in front of them let out arrows, they used their shields to resist them, and when they saw them, they first used machetes to fight the enemy, freeing up the space for their crossbowmen to shoot arrows.

After these two steps are completed, the Jingzhou soldiers will generally lose their fighting spirit, and the Cao soldiers spear and knife team behind will exert their power, and immediately rush up to fight with the Jingzhou soldiers until the Jingzhou soldiers guarding the pass are defeated, and then carry out the pursuit, absolutely not giving the Jingzhou soldiers a chance to breathe.

Also, because the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, as the main general, he does not dare to pin his hope of victory on a vanguard.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan prepared four vanguard stormtroopers, ready to let them take turns to attack.

According to Xiahou Yuan's own expectations, the four stormtroopers would always conquer this Quewei Slope, and then order the 8,000 elite soldiers behind them, regardless of the formation, just kill the top of the slope and occupy the Quewei Slope.

According to the envoy's report, Xiahou Yuan has estimated that there will not be many guards on the top of Quewei Slope, "There are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Xinye City, and Liu Cong will also allocate a part to support Zhao Yun in Deng County, and also a part to guard Xinye County, and the maximum number of men and horses who come here to defend themselves is at most." ”

Now that the time to plan the attack has arrived, Xiahou Yuan stood on a high place at the bottom of the slope on his horse, his whole body was draped, he pulled the reins of the horse in one hand, held the command sword in the other, and gave a look at Lu Qian, the general of the first team, Lu Qian came to the back of his team on foot, holding a machete in his hand, looking at the top of the magpie tail slope, and waited for Xiahou Yuan to give the attack order.

I saw Xiahou Yuan wave the sword in his hand and shouted: "Start!" ”

A drum beat sounded, shaking the mountains in the canyon, and Lu Qian shouted hoarsely: "Brothers, rush up, kill the magpie tail slope, capture Zhou Cang alive and punish Daorong, the lord will have a reward!" ”

Under the encouragement of this drum and shout, the five hundred Cao soldiers shouted, and rushed up to the top of the magpie tail slope with a strange scream.

The topography of this magpie tail slope seems to be a dustpan, the middle is the slope, the two sides are baffles, and the top of the slope and the baffles on both sides are guarded by Jingzhou soldiers.

Therefore, when the first wave of Cao soldiers rushed halfway through, stones and logs rolled down on the top of the magpie tail slope and on the baffles on both sides, and if these stones and logs rolled straight down, Cao Bing might also dodge them, but no, these things were all volleys.

This is a big trouble, not only the trouble, but also the death.

As soon as the stones and wood fell, more than a dozen soldiers were killed on the spot, and dozens more were wounded.

Cao Bing, who was injured, lay on the stone slope and cried bitterly, shouting and calling his father and mother.

However, the companions were too busy charging to save them, and none of them stopped to come to the rescue.

According to the military order, when charging, you must charge desperately, so no one dares to stop and rescue.

Seeing that the first group of Cao soldiers was about to approach the top of the deer firewood, but the log stones on the top of the slope and on both sides smashed down again, and the sharp arrow was also a straight one, "whooshing" drilled over.

Because of the short distance, this arrow shot quite accurately, although Cao Bing in front of him held a shield, but it was not easy for a shield to defend against three directions.

Cao soldiers with shields in their hands are not easy to guard against random arrows, and as for those Cao soldiers who do not use shields to defend themselves, they are simply a piece of dead meat.

The Jingzhou soldiers on the three sides can shoot as much as they like, ensuring that one arrow is accurate.

Well, now the First Stormtrooper is now in a state of collapse, but because of the fierce general Lu Qian's overseer, none of Cao Bing retreated.

There is no way to move forward without retreating, and there is a magpie tail slope top in front, on the top of the slope is a fortress made of wood and stone, and the fortress with a high head is full of deer firewood, and the fortress wall below the deer firewood is full of gun holes and arrows.

As soon as Cao Bing leaned in, the red-tasseled spear in the gun hole spit out like a snake letter, and it immediately drilled into Cao Bing's chest. Before the spearhead could be pulled out, Cao Bing's life had already broken away.

Can Cao Bing continue to fight?

Besides, even if the spear could not stab them, the arrows in the arrow path flew out after them.

At such a close distance, it doesn't take three stone bow power, even one stone bow force can shoot Cao Bing through.

When the battle here was inextricably linked, Xiahou Yuan saw it below, immediately waved his sword, and ordered the second team of Cao soldiers to kill again.

The original situation was a tie between the two, Cao Bing couldn't attack, Jingzhou Bing couldn't kill them, and when they held each other like this, Cao Bing's second team rushed up again.

This gave the Jingzhou soldiers who were busy with their work a momentum.

Zhou Cang stared at the top of the slope with wide eyes, and seeing that the situation was tight, he sneered a few times and ordered in a low voice: "The second team is on." ”

I only heard the sound of footsteps in the hula, and the second team of Jingzhou soldiers came over, and as soon as they came, they joined the battle, and the momentum of the attacking Cao soldiers was temporarily suppressed. 059
