Dai Gang's fire burned up the Wei army's grain and grass baggage, and also burned Cao Xiu's confidence, Cao Xiu was full of ambition in the past and wanted to step on the Jiangzuo, but twice fought with the Wu army, and twice for the Wu army to supervise the camp, first Lu Meng, and then Dai Gang beat him to the power of resistance, yesterday I heard that the main village was attacked by Sun Shao, and he was angry and attacked the heart and passed out with a mouthful of blood.

This Cao Xiu was stunned, someone had to clean up his hind legs, there were Zhang Liao and Xu Huang before, and now he can only count on Yu Ban, one of the five good generals. But fortunately, because Sun Shao attacked in a hurry and did not prepare anything flammable, although he broke through the city and set it on fire, the effect was not good. When Yu Ban returned to the division, Sun Shao immediately retreated, and the fire was only half burned, leaving half of the camp and ten days of grain for the Wei army.

After Yu Ban returned to the camp, he saw the dilapidated main village and was so angry that he almost fainted, and saw Cao Xiu who was placed by the guards, Yu Ban still couldn't help but take a sip, if it weren't for this ambitious and talented Cao Wenlie, how could these tens of thousands of Wei troops fall to this step. In the past, the 50,000-strong army set out from Luoyang, but now there are only more than 30,000 remnants left, and there is no food and grass to carry the baggage, which is called how to not be angry.

However, the current situation is not the time for Yu Ban to be angry, and the survival of these 30,000 troops still needs a calm Yu Ban. After resting for the night, Yu Ban immediately chose to break through. They were suppressed in the valley, the front and rear ends are guarded by the Wu army, although there are few soldiers and horses in front of Sun Shao, but the walled city is firmly repaired, and it is difficult to break through with the help of ballistas on the slope, and although Dai Gang did not build the walled city in the rear, there are many soldiers and horses, and there are not many of them, most of them are elite, with this remnant army to gnaw this hard bone, most of them will knock their teeth.

So Yu Ban and Lu Qian, the Taishou of Qianjun who came with the army, decided to break through directly from both sides, and the place where Cao Xiu garrisoned was said to be a valley bottom, but the two sides were not high mountains and steep cliffs. It's just two slopes of some height, otherwise Cao Xiu wouldn't have entered the valley with a big swagger.

Compared to the valley mouth, which is aided by ballistas and other things, the slopes on both sides are much worse even if they are guarded. Because one of the important reasons why the Wu army was able to fight with the Wei army many times was that the Wu army had ballistas and ballistas, which could rely on these two things to defend the city, and steadily treat the city as a nail, and nail it to the key point of the Wei army's march, so that the Wei army could not give full play to its advantages in mobility. In order to ensure that the Wu army always had a leading advantage in ballistas and other things, Qiao Ren ordered at the beginning of his appointment as a lieutenant that all generals who lost their colonels or asked the Wei army to capture a ballista should be immediately beheaded. Because Qiao Renke knew that Wei had the great god of Fufeng Ma Jun. This was based on the original thunderbolt and redesigned a new type of siege weapon, the rotary stone engine. This kind of stone cart is similar to the Zhuge repeater in the catapult world, which is simple and can be fired in bursts, and the power is endless. The most important thing is that in history, the Wei army was quite surprised to pick up a Zhuge repeater on the battlefield. Ma Jun, who was already old at the time, saw the repeater. He thought it was a good weapon and said, 'It's a coincidence.' But there is still a place to go. If you improve it a little more, you can increase it by a factor of five. So, he improved the repeater, and sure enough, the effect was very good, not only increased from ten arrows to thirty shots, but also reduced the size a lot.

Qiao Ren didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the Wei army picked up the ballista on the battlefield. What can Ma Jun improve? Therefore, this order was issued, and Sun Shao should not disobey Captain Qiao's order, and did not take the risk of placing crossbow carts on both wings, leaving only a few soldiers to watch the wind.

Just when the Wei army was preparing to forcibly break through the slopes and break through. The army of Wu has died down, and Ma Zhong has no intention of continuing to tighten his spirits, after all, there will be a big battle tomorrow, and recuperating is the most important thing at this moment.

The camp at the mouth of the valley was originally set up by the Wei army to guard this small valley, and many of the tents were sewn from good cowhide, and the antlers of the fence that should have been hideous and strong on the outskirts were burned to slag by fire, and a good camp became a scorched earth. Under Dai Gang's strict orders, Sergeant Wu didn't care about the pain of fighting all night, and began to rebuild the entire fortifications.

Although this valley mouth has turned into scorched earth, but the defensive significance is still there, a fire will definitely not be able to burn so many Wei troops, the Wei army in this valley will choose to break through, maybe not choose here, but also to make a show to guide the Wei army not to attack here.

Ma Zhong, who supervised the work, took a piece of horse meat from the guard, and ate it with cold water. Yesterday's war of Wei cavalry suffered heavy losses, and many horses were grilled and barbecued by the Wu army because of their injuries.

"I don't know what happened to the king of the eastern land? The battle here has already begun, and I am afraid that the camp of the Wei army will also be burned by the king (referring to Sun Shao)! Ma Zhong muttered to himself as he gnawed on the horse's legs.

And at this moment, several scouts who entered the valley to inquire about the news rushed out, came to Ma Zhong and hugged their fists and said, "General Ma!" ”

"Phew!!" But Ma Zhong was not worried, because several people galloped with smoke and dust in the sky, and almost didn't stain Ma Zhong's roasted horse legs. "Fuck, be careful. I finally ate a meal of meat, what to say!! ”

The scouts looked at each other with embarrassment, and finally the man at the head spoke: "General Ma, the Wei army has broken through to the northern slope. ”

"The Governor of the Metropolitan is really a god !!" Ma Zhong didn't care about chewing and swallowing slowly at this time, and ate the little meat left in a few bites, and roared loudly: "Little ones, prepare for battle, and guard against the Wei dog in the valley jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

On the slope, the Wei soldiers pestle the long ge, iron spears, and use the ring head knife as a crutch to climb up with difficulty, although it is only a slope of some height, but it is not so easy to climb, not to mention that the Wei soldiers are still carrying food.

"General Zuo." At this time, Lu Qian stepped behind a boulder where Yu Ban was in a few steps, and said eagerly to Yu Ban: "Can you let the soldiers speed faster, we can't hide the Wu army here for too long, if the enemy army enters the valley or sends people to defend the slope, then everything will be over." ”

"The old man can't do much, the army tossed for a night yesterday, and began to climb early this morning. And although this break is not rugged, it is too clean, and even a few boulders are not served, and it is extremely difficult for the soldiers to find a place to borrow, so they can only move forward with a pestle, how to get up quickly. Yu Ban's old face was full of helplessness.

"Yes! Hey~~~" Lu Qian sighed and knew that Yu Ban was telling the truth, so he had nothing to say and was about to return to the rear army to overseer him.

But then a loud bang pierced the silence, bang! The sound was followed by a huge fireball rising from the top of the hillside, and then slowly rolling down, killing and scalding the soldiers. With the first one, the fireballs that followed were mushrooms after the rain.

"Hit the !!" Yu Ban looked at the sudden appearance of the fireball, and his heart suddenly cooled, and he didn't even have time to take care of Cao Xiu, who was almost hit by the fireball on the side, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "The army retreats quickly and breaks through to the rear camp!! ”

Everything was too late, the Wei army, whether it was Cao Xiu or Yu Ban, fell into Dai Gang's calculations step by step, Dai Gang had long expected that the Wei army would be reluctant to seek a breakthrough from the slope, so he sent people to lurk here early to investigate the situation, and secretly prepared countless fireballs, learning from the battle of Bowangpo that year, and having a barbecue for the Wei army.

This fireball is not simple, it is made of wooden rattan into a spherical shape, which is filled with wood chips, fire oil, saltpeter, fat and other flammable materials, many of which are charcoal and horse grease burned in the wooden village of the camp last night. At this time, a stream of brains poured down, and one by one huge flames rushed into the dense Wei army, and the lethality was self-evident.

There are no boulders on the slope to block, and the fireball will either knock the Wei soldiers into the air or ignite them in an unstoppable situation, anyway, the lethality is endless, and for a time there are all kinds of burnt smells, Hu smells, and meat fragrances, which are disgusting.

Seeing this, Yu Ban couldn't care about Cao Xiu, and hurriedly beckoned the guards to lift Cao Xiu and retreat to the original way, this time Yu Ban decided that no matter how many soldiers he lost, he would break through the defenses of the Wu army, and it was better to die on the battlefield than to be burned to death.
