Knowing from the mouth of his own soldiers that the road down the mountain had been blocked, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then tightly locked his brows, narrowed his eyes, and ordered another personal soldier: "Go down the mountain immediately, order the soldiers, and advance to the enemy!" ”

After receiving Guan Yu's order to forcibly break through, a personal soldier behind him hurriedly responded and ran quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.

Standing in a condescending position, staring down the mountain, Guan Yu's eyes were always slightly narrowed.

The mountain road is narrow, and the Han army has already set up a position under the mountain.

The soldiers and horses under his command may be more numerous than the Han army under the mountain, but if he wants to break through by force, the price must be heavy.

The Jingzhou army led by Guan Yu was intercepted by the Han army in the middle of the mountain, and Zhang Fei in the valley also led the Jingzhou cavalry that had survived several battles, and quickly evacuated towards the valley mouth.

Before he reached the mouth of the valley, Zhang Fei saw a fast horse rushing towards him.

Rushing at him were the scouts he had sent earlier to spy on the enemy.

Knowing that a Han army had advanced to the rear of the valley, Zhang Fei sent more than a dozen scouts.

Most of the scouts who probed the enemy did not return, and now it was the last cavalry he sent back.

The Jingzhou army, which was galloping on horseback, arrived in front of Zhang Fei, reined in the war horse, arched his fist at him, and said with a panicked expression: "General Qiyu, the villain went to investigate the enemy's situation, and before he reached the valley, he saw more than a dozen corpses of our army lying across the road, and the figure of the valley mouth swayed, as if the enemy army had already set up an array, just waiting for our army to arrive!" ”

Knowing from the cavalry that the valley mouth had been blocked by the Han army, Zhang Fei was taken aback, stared at him, and shouted to the Jingzhou cavalry behind him: "Speed up the march and rush out of the valley!" ”

When he gave such an order, it was not that Zhang Fei was not intellectual, but that he considered that the cavalry who followed him were all cavalry.

In warfare, cavalry has the advantage of being extremely fast, and can often take advantage of rapid mobility to achieve unexpected results.

If he can take advantage of the fact that the Han army has not yet prepared and suddenly rush out of the valley, Zhang Fei is confident that he will lead the army to break out of the encirclement, and then turn back and rescue Guan Yu!

It was with this in mind that he gave the order to speed up the march.

After many battles, the number of Jingzhou cavalry led by Zhang Fei has been sharply reduced from 5,000 to 3,500.

Three and a half thousand cavalrymen, following him, galloped through the narrow valley.

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground in the valley, raising bursts of dust, where the Jingzhou army passed, the dust almost covered the valley, and the Jingzhou soldiers who walked in the rear of the team were all shrouded in dust, and even the road ahead was not very real.

Thousands of horses galloped through the valley, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the ground.

There was a thunderous roar in the valley, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army who were galloping on their horses felt that their eardrums were about to be shattered by this roar.

The officers and men of the Jingzhou army could feel the thunderous roar echoing in their ears, and the soldiers of the Han army who had already lined up in Taniguchi also heard it very clearly.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, the Han soldiers were holding their crossbows one by one, and just waited for the Jingzhou cavalry to rush out of the valley, and then fired deadly feathered arrows at them.

Pingping was holding a strong crossbow, and the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army were all staring at the exit of the valley.

The exit of the valley is not wide, and it can only accommodate six or seven horses and ride in.

From the sound of horses' hooves, it can be heard that the Jingzhou army in the valley is marching extremely fast, and the galloping horses must maintain a certain distance between them.

The soldiers of the Han army lined up outside the valley had long analyzed that the Jingzhou army would at most charge side by side with three or five strong horses, aiming at the valley mouth with a strong crossbow, and their expressions were not only not a little nervous, but gave people a very calm feeling.

Standing behind the array, the expression on Sima Yi's face was indifferent.

Led the army here, what he wanted was not to annihilate the Jingzhou army in a battle, but to force the Jingzhou army back to the territory where they were originally stationed.

led 3,500 cavalry of the Jingzhou Army and rushed all the way towards the valley mouth.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the mouth of the valley and saw the Han army arrayed outside the valley from a distance, Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The distance between the two sides was still very far, and the soldiers of the Han army had already raised their crossbows calmly, aiming at the Jingzhou army that was galloping in the valley.

The galloping war horse raised its four hooves high and charged towards the Han array.

The cavalry charged against the archers, and often suffered a big loss in the process of charging.

What made Zhang Fei uneasy was not only that he led the cavalry to rush towards the archers, but also that the valley was narrow, and the speed of the charge and the soldiers to avoid the arrows would be greatly limited.

The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who followed Zhang Fei were not rookies who had never experienced a battle.

On the way to charge, they had already covered their shields in front of them, but the strong bodies of the war horses were far from being able to be blocked by shields.

The cavalry galloped quickly, and the soldiers of the Han army at the mouth of the valley were holding strong crossbows, and their eyes were staring at the Jingzhou soldiers who were rushing towards them.

An officer standing on the side of the Han army array, seeing the Jingzhou army led by Zhang Fei getting closer and closer, raised his arm high.

The moment the officer raised his arm, all the soldiers of the Han army picked their fingers on the spring of the strong crossbow, and when the arm was pressed, they shot feather arrows at the Jingzhou army galloping in the valley.

led the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army and marched towards the soldiers of the Han Army at high speed, Zhang Fei's eyes were always round.

Taniguchi got closer and closer, staring at the Han soldiers lined up in front of him, Zhang Fei longed that the war horse under his crotch could give birth to wings and fly towards the enemy like lightning.

But after all, a war horse is just a war horse, not a goshawk that spreads its wings and soars.

Zhang Fei's wish will only become a thought in his heart, and it will never become a reality.

He could only watch Taniguchi get closer and closer, and he could only watch the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army led by himself enter the range of the Han army's strong crossbow.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army led by Zhang Fei were about to enter the range of the crossbow, the officers of the Han Army standing on the side of the crossbow array pressed their arms down and gave the order to shoot arrows.

The officer's arm was pressed, and the soldiers of the Han army holding the strong crossbow buckled the spring of the strong crossbow one after another.

With the soft sound of the machine spring, a sharp feather arrow flew out on the strong crossbow of the Han army in the front row.

Shooting arrows, the Han soldiers in the front row immediately squatted down, and the Han soldiers in the second row standing behind them also picked off the machine springs.

The soldiers of the Han army divided into three columns, a column of arrows were shot, and the Jingzhou army, which was galloping in the valley, was covered by arrows, and many people were not directly hit by arrows, and the horses under their crotches were full of feather arrows on their chests.

One by one, the war horses rolled and fell forward, and some Jingzhou troops who followed behind were not shot by the arrows of the Han army at first, but their war horses were tripped by their own Tongze who fell on the road during the charge, and their combat strength was unstable under the rapid charge, and they also rolled and flew out.

There was a burst of people in the valley shouting and neighing, and the Jingzhou army in the charge, braving the rain of arrows, tried their best to kill to the mouth of the valley.

There are more and more Jingzhou troops and war horses shot by arrows, and the road to charge is becoming more and more difficult to walk, many Jingzhou army soldiers, in the process of charging, jumped up from their horses, holding shields, and covered their bodies with the help of shields, and they didn't care about the war horses that had been with them day and night.

The poor huge war horse, shrouded in the rain of arrows, fell down in pieces.

More and more Jingzhou troops and war horses fell on the way to charge, holding Zhangba snake spears in both hands, using the rotation of the snake spear to resist Zhang Fei, who was raining arrows, and soon found that in this situation, they could not rush out of the valley at all, and at the moment when the arrows of the Han army were slightly sparse, they shouted to the Jingzhou soldiers behind them: "Withdraw to the valley!" ”

Completely unable to break out of the valley, Zhang Fei ordered to retreat back to the place of death, which was undoubtedly the right choice.

The soldiers did not carry a lot of food and grass, and they could only support it for a few days.

Hold on for a few days, maybe Guan Yu on the hill can rush out of an exit, cover the Han army from behind, and open a way for them to rush out.

Even if Guan Yu did not break out of the encirclement, as long as Liu Bei returned, although the final result of this battle had been finalized, it was still unknown whether Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's troops would be completely annihilated by the Han army.

He still had expectations for Liu Bei in his heart, and while resisting the rain of arrows shot by the soldiers of the Han army, Zhang Fei led the remnants of the Jingzhou army soldiers to retreat into the valley.

Rushing to kill, not only failed to break out of the encirclement, but suffered huge losses, and the morale of the officers and men of Jingzhou fell to the bottom in this rush.

Escaping from the shroud of the Han army's arrows, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who followed Zhang Fei back to the valley were all dejected, looking like mourning.

Leading this team that has lost one after another, Zhang Fei's confidence has also been greatly dampened.

Zhuge Liang's strategy did not allow them to successfully burn the Han army, but also put him and Guan Yu in a desperate situation.

Zhang Fei led the army to rush and kill for a while without success, and on the other side of the hillside, the Jingzhou army, which tried to charge the Han army, was also forced to retreat by the rain of arrows.

At first, he wanted to use the terrain of Bowang to launch a war of annihilation against the Han army, but he didn't want to end up with the advantage of being completely occupied by the Han army.

In despair, Guan Yu also gave the order for the whole army to retreat.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attempts to break through were broken by the Han soldiers, and Sima Yi, who led the army to the mouth of the valley, rode on horseback, staring at the mouth of the valley, with a faint smile floating on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Ma stood beside him, but Yu Ban had no expression on his face.

Until he repelled the breakthrough launched by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Yu Jian was still pestering him and Sima Yi in his heart that he and Sima Yi had the opportunity to capture Liu Bei, but they gave up the opportunity!
