After Momotaro received the letter, he hurriedly asked to see Lu Meng, who was the supreme commander of the Nanban side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General, please send troops to help us!" Momotaro knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"No, get up and speak! What's going on? β
Momotaro stood up and said urgently, "General, the Shiwei rebels suddenly attacked our camp last night!" Please be sure to help us! β
Lu Meng said secretly: "It's finally begun!" Everything was as His Majesty expected! β
Said to Zi Sanshiro: "Don't worry, tell me the specific situation clearly!" What's going on? What's going on now? β
"Yes!" Momotaro answered.
"The Shiwei rebels suddenly attacked us last night, and although we got some news beforehand, we were still caught off guard by them, and the losses were great! Lord Sanshiro is now relying on the terrain to resist the attack of the Shiwei rebels! I'm afraid I won't be able to resist for long! General, please send troops to our aid immediately! β
Lu Meng nodded, "Of course! You immediately send a reply to Zi Sanshiro, and say that our army will arrive soon! β
Momotaro couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and ran out.
As soon as Momotaro left, Tai Shi Ci frowned and asked, "Are you really planning to send troops to support?" Your Majesty didn't let you do that! β
Lu Meng smiled slightly, "If you don't give them some hope, how can they persevere!" β
Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "I suddenly found that I am the only honest person!" β
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Momotaro returned to his residence in high spirits, called his entourage, and immediately sent a flying pigeon to Zisanshiro's side.
Bitter Herb Cliff.
Bitter vegetable cliff is located in the northwest of Wutu village more than 150 miles, in the west of the current Shiwei old nest not far away, because there is a kind of bitter herb growing and get the name bitter vegetable cliff, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Zi Sanshiro and his subordinates were besieged on the bitter vegetable cliff by the barbarian army under the command of Shiwei.
The barbarian army had been attacking for two days, but because of the difficult terrain of the bitter vegetable cliff, no progress had been made.
Zisanshiro couldn't help but feel heavy when he looked at the barracks under the cliff.
At this time, a subordinate rushed to Zi Sanshiro.
"My lord, Momotaro-sama's flying pigeon biography!"
Zi Sanshiro's eyes lit up, he snatched the handbook, read it quickly, laughed excitedly, waved the handbook in his hand and said loudly to the generals around him: "General Lu Meng of the Wei army has sent reinforcements!" As long as we persist for two or three days, we will be able to turn defeat into victory! β
The generals were overjoyed and discussed.
At this moment, another general came to report: "My lord, the messenger of Shiwei has arrived!" β
Zi Sanshiro's eyes were cold, "Kill!" Send the head back! β
"Yes!" The general excitedly agreed.
Shiwei looked at the bloody head in front of him and was furious, "What a posture Sanshiro!" If I don't kill you all, my Shiwei's name will be written backwards! Command all armies to attack with all their might, and reward a thousand taels of silver for those who kill Zi Sanshiro! β
The unique leather drums of the barbarian army rang out, and the 30,000 barbarian troops rushed in three directions of the bitter vegetable cliff.
Once again, the bloody battle began.
The fighting continued until late at night, when it came to a temporary halt.
As the attacker, the Shiwei army suffered extremely heavy losses, with a total of more than 6,000 dead and wounded, and as the defender, Zisanshiro also paid the price of more than 3,000 dead and wounded.
Such a battle continued for another three days.
During this period, Zi Sanshiro kept receiving news that the Wei army was coming.
The Wei army was indeed coming, the main force of the Wei army's Flying Tiger Army was 40,000 horses and 40,000 troops under the command of Dongnu Kingdom attacked, and the 80,000 army marched north along the river under the leadership of LΓΌ Meng and Gan Ning.
The 80,000 troops of the Wei army advanced to a valley about dozens of miles away from the bitter vegetable cliff and listened, and the Shiwei side stationed 30,000 defenders here, but the reason why the Wei army stopped was not because of the 30,000 defenders, the Wei army took the initiative to stop.
Soon after, Shiwei received an urgent report from the defenders of the valley and was taken aback when he learned that the Wei army had approached the valley. Shiwei immediately ordered the army to stop the offensive and prepare to send troops to reinforce the valley side.
However, Shiwei did not immediately order to send reinforcements, he was hesitating, he was worried that once he transferred the direction of the valley of the military road, there would be problems on the side of Kucai Cliff.
Zi Sanshiro couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Shiweijun had stopped attacking.
That night, Riswei received a report from the defenders of the valley that the Wei army did not attack, but searched the surrounding area for a way around the valley that could bypass the valley.
After receiving this information, Shiwei couldn't help but feel that he still had time, because this action of the Wei army showed that the Wei army did not want to storm the dangerous valley guarded by tens of thousands of defenders, but hoped to be bypassed by a small road, which would not be fruitful in a few days.
Shiwei immediately summoned all the generals and ordered an all-out attack on the bitter vegetable cliff.
The ensuing battle was fought with great brutality, and the Fuso Army, fueled with hope in their hearts, desperately resisted the onslaught of the barbarian army wave after wave.
The battle lasted for three days, both the offensive and defensive sides were extremely tired, and the Fuso army had reached its limit, and they were already a little desperate.
"My lord, why hasn't Wei Jun come yet?" One of the generals asked with a puzzled expression.
Shisanshiro frowned and did not answer.
"What's going on?"
The general shook his head and said worriedly: "The situation is very bad!" Most of our army has already lost, and the rest are demoralized! β
Zisanshiro patted the general's shoulder, "Don't be discouraged! We will definitely be able to hold out until the arrival of the Wei army! β
The general nodded, still looking very worried.
"My lord, the most troublesome thing right now is food! Some have already started eating corpses! β
Zisanshiro sighed, "Let them be!" β
The pounding of the leather drum suddenly became loud again. All the Fusang people on the bitter vegetable cliff couldn't help but be startled, Zi Sanshiro frowned, and the general of the Chongbu shouted: "Prepare to fight!" β
The battle began again, the barbarian army stormed the bitter vegetable cliff in the night, the Fusang army resisted hard, the killing sound shook the sky, and the battle was very fierce and crazy.
Lu Meng stood on top of a hill and looked at the night sky in the north, "The battle over there should be at the last moment!" β
Tai Shi Ci nodded, "Ziming, we can do it!" β
Lu Meng nodded and turned around suddenly, "Order all the armies to capture the valley tonight!" β
"Yes!"
The Eagle's Beak Cliff is the most dangerous terrain in the valley, which overlooks the entire valley and can form a covering attack on the roads that must be taken in the valley.
The two sentries patrolled back and forth at the very front of the Eagle's Beak Cliff, looking a little relaxed, they had been nervous a few days ago, but the Wei army had been standing still for several days, and they couldn't help but be a little slack.
The two sentinels spun around the edge of the cliff, returned to a large rock near the inside, sat down, and began to chat.
"Hey, I've heard that the war in the north is not going well!"
The companion next to him nodded approvingly, "Who said it wasn't!" Now the Wei army is also here! I wonder what will happen to us in the future? "Afraid of what!? Dead is dead! I was bitten to death by a tiger while hunting! β
The two sentinels who were talking didn't notice that hundreds of shadows were slowly moving upwards against the cliff face.
More than a dozen black shadows suddenly jumped up the cliff, and the two sentries were startled, and before they could react, they felt a chill in their necks and went limp.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Wei soldiers in charge of the assault went up to the cliff and quickly captured the eagle's beak cliff.
Two green signal rockets rose into the night sky from the eagle's beak cliff, and they were particularly dazzling.
Seeing this, Tai Shici, who was waiting, immediately gave the order to attack.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wei Army's Flying Tiger Army immediately launched a full-scale attack, and at the same time, the army of the Eastern Women's Kingdom responded from the side.
The Flying Tigers broke through the first line of defense of the barbarian army in one go, and then launched an attack on the second line of defense.
The soldiers of both sides fought fiercely on the mountainside, the Wei army attacked very fiercely, and the barbarian army also resisted very tenaciously, and the rain of arrows pouring down from the eagle's beak cliff made the barbarian army very passive.
A barbarian army attacked the Eagle's Beak Cliff, but due to the too dangerous terrain of the Eagle's Beak Cliff, the barbarian army was suppressed by the Wei army, although it was outnumbered.
The battle lasted for half an hour, and the main force of the Flying Tiger Army, which was attacking head-on, finally broke through the defense line of the barbarian army, and the Flying Tiger Army surged in like a torrent of broken embankments, defeating the barbarian army.
Seeing that it was impossible to reverse the situation, the barbarian defenders had to order a retreat.
Nearly 20,000 barbarian troops fled from the cliff in a hurry, but they were attacked by the Dongnu army that had been waiting for a long time.
The already panicked barbarian army soon collapsed, and more than 10,000 barbarian troops fled in all directions.
The Wei army captured the valley, and then left 10,000 troops of the Eastern Women's Kingdom to defend the valley and guard the prisoners, while the main force marched rapidly to the north.
At about the same time that the Wei army captured the valley, the barbarian army finally defeated the Fusang army and attacked the bitter vegetable cliff.
The barbarian army, which was holding back the fire, launched a massacre against the Fusang army on the cliff who gave up resistance, and did not spare the old and weak women and children.
Terrible screams echoed in the sky, and the originally white moonlight seemed to be covered with a blood-colored veil.
In the early hours of the morning, Shi Wei climbed the bitter vegetable cliff full of corpses, and there was a hellish scene in front of him, the mutilated corpses densely covered the entire cliff, and the dead were groaning in pain in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.
Shiwei couldn't help but feel the urge to gag. Immediately left the bitter herb cliff. As soon as he left the bitter herb cliff, he took a deep breath.
Shi Yan rushed up in a hurry, and hurriedly reported: "Lord, it's not good! The valley was lost last night! β
"What?!"
Shi Wei was startled. Hurriedly calmed down, thought in a deep voice: "We have fallen for Lu Meng's scheme!" What a Lu Meng! β
Shi Yan said: "The valley is our barrier to the Wei army!" The loss of the valley has made our entire strategic situation very unfavorable! β
Shi Wei frowned and nodded, and hurriedly ordered: "Order all armies to withdraw immediately!" β
"Yes!"
The barbarians did not have time to clean up the battlefield, so they rushed back. (To be continued.) )
