Early in the morning of the second day, Dong Shouye ordered the soldiers to be fed with war meals and recuperate their spirits so that they could cope with the upcoming war.

After the preparations were completed, Dong Shouye ordered the army to march towards the valley.

Because the terrain in the valley was narrow, which was not conducive to the effective deployment of the army, Dong Shouye let the army stay outside the valley of the Shooting Tiger Valley, which is the so-called Shanggukou, and sent an advance team of 2,500 men and horses to enter the Shanggukou to carry out a tentative attack.

This time it was Yang Feng who was responsible for leading the troops, and he led the men and horses of his headquarters to slowly enter the upper valley mouth according to Dong Shouye's military orders.

Entering the valley, in addition to the narrow terrain, the others are also ordinary, there is nothing special, compared to the eight passes of the well on the Taihang Mountain, but it is far worse.

About halfway into the valley, things started to go wrong, and there were two forks in the middle of the road, leading to an unknown distance.

Seeing this, Yang Feng hurriedly sent someone back to inform Dong Shouye of the specific situation in the Tiger Valley, and asked Dong Shouye to send troops and horses to respond.

Why you say why Yang Feng is so careful, it is not because Yang Feng is timid by nature, but because of the special terrain of Shooting Tiger Valley. At this time, if Yang Feng continued to walk forward regardless of a single qiē, and did not let the army behind him send men and horses to respond, the enemy's men and horses could be inserted behind Yang Feng from the two small roads next to the main road of the Tiger Valley, and attack the men and horses led by Yang Feng back and forth.

Yang Feng suffered from the enemy on his back, and the army would be in chaos, so I am afraid that the men and horses will suffer heavy losses, and may even be completely annihilated by the enemy, even if Dong Shouye leads the army to support Yang Feng, but due to the narrow terrain in the valley, the army cannot be deployed, and the enemy army can divide a part of the men and horses to calmly resist the reinforcements sent by Dong Shouye.

Even if there are many men and horses under Dong Shouye's command, they will not be able to break through the enemy's interception in a short time, and when the time comes, Yang Feng's school will have to explain here.

If the first battle is lost and Yang Feng's entire army is annihilated, it will be a huge blow to the morale of Dong Shouye's army, and it will be even more difficult to break through the Tiger Valley at that time.

If the shape is unfavorable and it is difficult to break through the Tiger Valley, then Dong Shouye can only change the route, so if he comes and goes, there will be more time delayed, which Dong Shouye can't bear.

Therefore, Yang Feng's approach is undoubtedly very safe and feasible.

After Dong Shouye received the news from Yang Feng, he immediately ordered Li Dao to lead a school (2500) of men and horses into the valley to support.

After receiving the news that Dong Shouye had sent reinforcements, Yang Feng immediately divided his soldiers and horses into three parts, 1,500 people lived on the main road, and the other 500 people were divided into two paths next to the main road, and after going deep for a distance, he stopped and stayed in place to prevent the enemy from penetrating the paths on both sides behind Yang Feng.

Li Dao and a group of men and horses soon entered the valley to join Yang Feng.

Yang Feng combined the 1,500 men under his command with the 2,500 men under Li Wei's command, and then moved on.

The terrain in the Tiger Valley was the same for both sides, and Han Sui and Ma Teng's army could rely on its special terrain to snipe Dong Shouye's Xiliang army. And Yang Feng can also divide his troops and horses to snipe Han Sui and Ma Teng's troops on the path.

Yang Feng and Li Dao led the men and horses to advance for a while, and finally encountered the enemy army, and the two had long wanted to fight each other, defeat each other, open the way for the army, and make the first contribution to the march to Xiliang.

After the two sides encountered, Yang Feng found that the other party did not rush to this place, but waited here early for the arrival of his own people.

In addition, relying on the mountainous terrain, the road was checked, and fences and simple fortifications were built on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Dao and Yang Feng were not ambiguous, and immediately commanded their troops to carry out a tentative attack.

Yang Feng first led five hundred elite soldiers, rushed up, attacked the enemy blocking in front of him, and rushed to the front of more than 100 soldiers, each holding a crossbow in his hand. This crossbow has a little farther range than ordinary bows and arrows, so Yang Feng asked the more than 100 soldiers armed with crossbows to rush forward first, and he used this difference in range to give the other party some color.

Crossbow arrows flew out and struck the soldiers in the local camp, and a scream was heard.

The arrows of the crossbow are limited, and it is impossible for Yang Feng to play with the other party at this time, and after seeing that he has taken some advantage, he immediately put away the crossbow and continues to rush.

Han Sui and a person who looked like a general in Ma Teng's army immediately organized his troops to counterattack, and the general relied on the terrain to defend on the spot, and for a while, the arrows were like the remainder, shooting at the five hundred soldiers led by Yang Feng.

The 500 soldiers led by Yang Feng followed Dong Shouye many times during this period of time, and they were first-class elite soldiers, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had been tested. All of them are extremely brave, extremely psychological, and they are as if they don't want to die when they start a big battle.

I saw the warriors raise the wooden shield in their left hand and a spear in their right hand. Shoulder to shoulder, close together to form a shield wall, and then slowly push forward. The arrows on the opposite side are like flying locusts, coming head-on. The arrow hit the wooden shield with a muffled sound, but the warriors hiding behind the large wooden shield suffered almost no casualties.

The general who commanded the battle on the opposite side was also a veteran general on the battlefield, with rich experience, and it was not given for nothing. Seeing that the big shield of the Western Liang Army was tightly protected, he immediately changed his strategy.

Changed the bow and arrow from direct fire to projectile, and formed crossfire, forming a network of attack waves.

At this moment, the big shield of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army was blocking the arrows flying in front, but it couldn't block the arrows flying overhead. In a very short period of time, a lot of losses were made.

Seeing this, Yang Feng also immediately changed his strategy, changing the layout of the big shield shield wall into an arc arrangement, the people and horses formed an arc, the front of the arc was prominent, and the rear was concave, and the soldiers tried their best to hide under the arc formed by the big shield, and the losses were quickly reduced a lot for a while.

Although Yang Feng's strategy can work, it has obvious flaws, that is, the terrain in the valley is limited, and even if he only has about 500 men, it cannot be fully implemented.

Therefore, the arc defense arranged by Yang Feng was not perfect, and there were still many warriors who could not hide under the big shield.

Although most of the arrows shot by Han Sui and Ma Teng's army were blocked by the arc defensive circle arranged by Yang Feng, there were still sporadic arrows that continued to hit Yang Feng's soldiers, and the damage showed more and more momentum, seeing that Yang Feng's heart was almost dripping blood, these soldiers have been under Yang Feng's men, although Yang Feng was fighting, Yang Feng spent a lot of energy and effort on these soldiers fighting again on weekdays, and he was killed and injured so much at once, it was really a little unacceptable.

Yang Feng brought a total of 500 people with this tentative attack, and more than 100 people were killed and injured in this moment's effort, this guy felt very anxious at this time, but there was no good way, and he couldn't immediately break through the opponent's defense line.

Seeing this, Yang Feng could only choose to give up, take the remaining soldiers, snatch back the corpses of his companions, and then slowly retreat, rendezvous with Li Dao, and discuss the next attack.
