Chapter 320: Frustration

Under the cover of the shield and shield, the three thousand tiger ben once again slaughtered into the depths of the Sword Pavilion.

This time, the Han army stationed on the cliff still did not have much way, although the flying spear and hundreds of catties of rolling wood stones could hit the Chu army, but they could not help the Chu army's giant oar, thousands of catties of boulders were enough to threaten the Chu army's giant oar, but they could only fall straight down the cliff, and it was difficult to hit the head of the Chu army.

As for the bow and arrow, under the cover of the huge oars and big shields of the Chu army, they are simply decorations.

At the sound of trumpets rising wave after wave, the sixty phalanxes formed by the three thousand tigers approached the fortress again, and then slowly advanced up the stone steps overflowing by the stream, this time, the stone steps overflowing by the stream and the green feathers scattered everywhere could no longer stop the advance of the Chu army, because the Chu army had changed into straw sandals.

In less than half an hour, the Chu army had already climbed half of the stone steps.

##########

On the unfinished wooden wall of the Sword Pavilion Fortress, Bai Mo was dressed in white and was supervising the battle.

Seeing that the slippery stone steps and the green flakes could no longer stop the advance of the Chu army, Bai Mo sighed softly, and immediately turned around and instructed Li Budao: "Captain Li, you can sprinkle thistle." ”

"Whoa!" Li Bu suddenly responded, and turned back and shouted, "Sprinkle thistle!" ”

Li Bu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Han army guarding the wooden wall grabbed a handful of thistles and threw them vigorously on the stone steps below, the iron thistles weighed no more than a few taels, and the powerful soldiers could throw them dozens of steps away at once, and in an instant, a large area of black and swarthy thistles fell from the sky and scattered all over the upper half of the stone road.

Even the lower half of the stone road also rolled off a large number of thistles.

A tiger warrior stepped out, just stepped on an iron thistle, the sharp iron thorns pierced the straw shoes and penetrated deeply into the soles of his feet, under the pain, the tiger warrior immediately howled like a pig, and soon, the stone road resounded one after another screams, hundreds of tiger warriors fell on the stone road with their feet in their hands.

"Watch your step!" Jin Xiang was in a hurry and shouted, "Tribulus terrestris, there is tribulus terrestris under your feet!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Jin Xiang to remind them, the three thousand tiger ben also know what is going on, but they know that they have nothing to do, because the protective area of the giant oar is limited, so the fifty tiger ben warriors in each phalanx must be tightly squeezed together, this time, so that they can't see the ground under their feet at all, even if they move forward, they have to be specially reminded by the small school who is responsible for leading the way, how can they see the iron thistle terrestris on the ground?

Although the small schools at all levels shouted loudly, even though the three thousand tiger ben knew that there was an iron thistle under their feet, they could only move forward step by step, and then stepped on the iron thistle terrestris, and fell into a pool of blood with a scream, and in just a moment, at least four or five hundred tiger warriors fell in a pool of blood, and the giant oar also overturned more than a dozen pieces!

The next moment, the arrows on the fortress and the cliffs on both sides rained down, and the Tiger Ben Ruishi who was injured and fell to the ground, and lost the cover of the giant oar, were killed by arrows one after another, and the casualties of the Tiger Ben Ruishi suddenly increased sharply, at this time, Jin Xiang was unwilling to know that it was impossible to continue the attack, and if it was consumed, the three thousand Tiger Ben should be wiped out!

"The rear team changes to the front team, withdraw!" Jin Xiang's tiger eyes breathed fire, gritted his teeth and ordered.

In the continuous sound of horns, the Chu army retreated again, the first attack, the Chu army only killed more than 100 people, but this time, the Chu army suffered five or six hundred casualties, the corpses of the Chu army soldiers almost filled the stone steps under the fortress, and the blood flowing from them almost stained the entire stream.

##########

The Chu army was in the rear.

Looking at the remnants of the Chu army that fled back "bouncing", Xiang Zhuang couldn't believe his eyes, the second wave of the Tiger Benwei's offensive was disintegrated by the Han army like this? Moreover, of the 3,000 tigers who threw themselves into the attack, less than 2,000 escaped, and most of them were wounded, and the soles of many soldiers were useless! …,

Jin Xiang explained the reason to Xiang Zhuang, and he drew his knife in shame and wanted to kill himself.

Xiang Zhuang grabbed Jin Xiang's hand and said angrily: "Jin Xiang, you are so promising!" ”

Jin Xiang drooped his head and said ashamedly: "The king, the minister is incompetent......"

"Incompetent and incompetent, what would you say except incompetence?!" Xiang Zhuang said angrily, "The widow said a long time ago, there is no victorious general in this world, and there is no army that will never eat defeat, the widow also suffered defeat in the Sword Pavilion a few days ago, does the widow also have to learn from you, suicide to thank Jiangdong's father?" ”

Jin Xiang said in a panic: "The king is in danger of the safety of the Chu State, how can he commit suicide? ”

"A widow can't commit suicide, can you be promoted to Xiang? If a widow can eat a defeat, you Jinxiang can't lose a battle?! Xiang Zhuang snorted, his tone softened slightly, "It's no big deal to lose the battle, summarize the lessons of defeat, and win it back on the battlefield in the future, you are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?!" ”

Jin Xiang was silent, but his face showed a thoughtful look.

Xiang Zhuang has always had high hopes for Jin Xiang, although Jin Xiang is young, but his qualifications in the army are not under Pang Yu, and he is only slightly inferior to Gao Chu, and more importantly, Jin Xiang's loyalty to Xiang has been integrated into the bone marrow, unfortunately Jin Xiang does not like to read much, and it is difficult to become a handsome person if he does not study, at best he is a fierce general.

Xiang Zhuang hopes that today's two fiascos can make Jin Xiang feel something.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost noon at this time, and the soldiers should be almost hungry, so Xiang Zhuang ordered: "Order, the whole army will rest for the time being and prepare to eat!" ”

The military order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers of the Chu army who were waiting for the battle sat on the ground to rest, and the leaders of the army took water from the stream and buried the pot to make rice.

In the canvas tent, Xiang Zhuang, Bai Lixian, Gao Chu and Pang Yu had no appetite.

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Zhuang sighed and said, "This Bai Mo really deserves to be a senior brother who learns swords." ”

Gao Chu nodded, and said with annoyance: "Ten years ago, if only Lao Qu could kill this person." ”

Xiang Zhuang was silent for a long time, then turned his gaze to Bai Lixian and asked, "Ziliang, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”

At this juncture, Xiang Zhuang has no strange plans, but judging from the current situation, it seems that a frontal attack is not a good way, Bai Mo is too difficult, if the Heavenly Wolf Battalion and the Tiger Camp really attack from the front at any cost, even if they are lucky enough to capture the Sword Pavilion in the end, I am afraid that they will not have the strength to compete with Liu Bang for Hanzhong.

Bai Lixian shook his head, Xiang Zhuang had no choice, and he had nothing to do.

In fact, it's not that Xiang Zhuang and Bailixian don't know how to use soldiers, and it's not that the two of them are not smart enough, but the terrain of the Sword Pavilion is too steep, and the Han army has taken the lead to occupy the cliffs on both sides, which makes it impossible for the Chu army to climb the cliff and intercept the back road of the Han army.

Pang Yu suddenly said: "King, maybe Huyan can really find a path from the mountains." ”

"Huyan?" Xiang Zhuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There really is another way to go from Shuzhong to Hanzhong, can Mrs. Qin, Tang Tong and these Bashu heroes not know?" ”

For Huyan, Xiang Zhuang really didn't have much hope.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of communication, Xiang Zhuang would probably have asked Huyan to bring back the two thousand Heavenly Wolf Guards, and it would be a waste of time to stay in the mountains and run around, right?

##########

Xiang Zhuang didn't expect that Hu Yanzhen had found a way.

The Heavenly Wolf Guard split up and searched for dozens of miles, and finally found three hunters in the deep mountains.

These three hunters are said to be the descendants of the Ba royal family, since the Qin State destroyed Ba, they have taken refuge here, it has been more than 100 years, Huyan went to ask after asking, these three hunters really know that there is a path, from Langzhong to Hanzhong, and take this path is much closer than taking the Golden Bull Road. …,

Hu Yan was overjoyed when he heard the news.

After giving three horizontal knives and three good iron tire bows to the three hunters, the hunters finally agreed to lead the way, when Xiang Zhuang was frustrated in the Sword Pavilion and had nothing to do, Huyan had already taken two thousand wolf guards, under the guidance of the hunters, and embarked on the sheep intestine trail that led directly to Hanzhong, which would be less than a hundred miles away from Hanzhong Qunzhi Nanzheng.

However, a deep stream dozens of zhang wide blocked the way of the Sky Wolf Guard.

Huyan frowned, turned around and asked Orion, "Didn't you say that there is a big tree across this stream?" ”

Orion scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "It turns out that there is a big tree, my brother and I just walked past it last year, but this big tree has been some years old, it may have been decaying for a long time and falling into the mountain stream." After saying this, Orion added, "But don't worry, general, the villain has a way to send you over." ”

"Do you have a way?" Huyan didn't have a good airway, "What way?" ”

This is a deep stream dozens of zhang wide, not only a few zhang wide, if it is a mountain stream a few zhang wide, just throw the flying claw over, but dozens of zhang distance, the flying claw can't be thrown over! If there is a giant crossbow, you can also use the giant crossbow to shoot the flying claw rope through, but the problem is that the Sky Wolf Guard does not carry a giant crossbow at all.

Orion didn't answer, but put his hand in his mouth and let out a whistling.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and then a golden eagle of a divine horse had flapped its wings and descended from the top of the mountain, and finally its wings stopped on the right arm of the hunter's shoulder, and the hunter brushed the feathers of the golden eagle, and took out a bundle of thin silk rope from his backpack, and tied one end to the golden eagle's claws.

Orion raised his right arm again, and the golden eagle suddenly flew to the other side of the mountain stream with a scream.

Under the gaze of Huyan and the two thousand heavenly wolf guards, the golden eagle circled behind a big tree on the opposite side and flew back, Orion untied the silk rope from the golden eagle's claws, tied a two-finger-thick hemp rope to the silk rope, and used the silk rope to pull the heavy and thick hemp rope to the opposite side of the mountain stream, and finally pulled back to form a double-strand rope bridge.

"Hey!" Hu Yan was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect you to really have a way." ”
