A few days later, Ma Qiu led the main army under his command to arrive in Daxia City, and joined the army of Wang Zhen here, and after the two armies converged, there were more than 100,000 troops, and the strength was further enhanced.

But the grain route has been cut off for several days, which makes them have no desire to fight, and returning to Guanzhong as much as possible is their way out.

On the walls of Great Xia City, Ma Qiu and Wang Zhen looked at the scenery outside the city and discussed their next action strategy.

"General Wang, at present, the back road of our army is cut off, and the main force of the Jin army is gathering in Xiangwu City, and our army must do its best to open up the road back to Guanzhong, otherwise, the military food will be cut off, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Ma Qiu said softly.

Wang Zhen nodded, and said helplessly: "General, according to the scout's report, the Jin army's vanguard has arrived at Bird and Mouse Mountain, and it is getting closer and closer to Daxia City. ”

"Oh, the Jin army is moving so fast, tens of thousands of horses dare to run long distances." When Ma Qiu heard that the Jin army had arrived at Bird and Mouse Mountain, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He knew that the vicinity of Bird and Mouse Mountain was the only way to return to Guanzhong, and since the Han Dynasty, it was a necessary place for the Silk Road.

"General, have you heard? There is a powerful new weapon in the Jin army, which is extremely powerful on the battlefield, and the soldiers of our army are extremely afraid of it. Wang Zhen whispered.

Ma Qiu nodded, and said: "Regarding the new weapons of the Jin army, General Sun made it very clear in the letter to the general, but the general has not yet personally comprehended it. The power of this weapon can only be known if you have seen it yourself! ”

"The general's meaning is to march in the direction of Bird and Mouse Mountain as much as possible to open the way to Guanzhong?" Wang said.

Ma Qiu nodded and said: "That's right, Bird and Mouse Mountain is the only place to lead to the Guanzhong Road, and the general must defeat the Jin army and pass Guò Bird and Mouse Mountain." ”

After a day's rest, Ma Qiu and Wang Zheng led the main force of the Zhao army to leave Daxia City and march to Bird and Mouse Mountain at the fastest speed.

Two days after the Zhao army withdrew from Great Xia City. Xie Ai's main army regained the city of Great Xia without a single soldier. And continue to pursue in the direction of Bird and Mouse Mountain, and if the main force of the Zhao army is not expelled from the territory of Liangguo, Xie Ai will not stop.

Daxia City is hundreds of miles away from Bird and Mouse Mountain, and the road is quite flat. The main force of the Zhao army marched for five or six consecutive days. Finally arrived at Bird Mouse Mountain. And set up camp at the foot of the mountain, ready to try to pass Guò Bird and Mouse Mountain on the second day.

When the main army set up camp, the scouts entered Bird and Mouse Mountain in advance to reconnoitre. to learn about the Jin army's preparedness.

Although Ma Qiu knew that the Jin army must have set up an ambush in Bird and Mouse Mountain, the mountain of Bird and Mouse Mountain was relatively slow, and the trees were not very dense, as long as the location of the Jin army's ambush was discovered, he could defeat the Jin army's ambush with superior forces, so as to open up the passage of Bird and Mouse Mountain.

Hua'an also knew that the Zhao army would send scouts to the Bird and Mouse Mountain Pass to reconnoitre, so he had already arranged dozens of fake assembly sites along the way, with only a few dozen soldiers in each place, in order to confuse the Zhao army scouts and make the real ambush army unable to be discovered.

Early the next morning, Ma Qiu and Wang Zheng led an army of 30,000 into the valley according to the report of the scouts, intending to eliminate the ambushed Jin army and provide convenience for the brigade.

The elite men and horses of the Zhao army entered the Bird and Mouse Mountain in a mighty way, and marched all the way forward, they were not very worried about the not very steep peaks on both sides of the road, and the advantage of troops made them extremely confident.

In just half an hour, the 30,000 elites of the Zhao army entered the first line of defense preset by the Jin army, and it was also the most rigorous line of defense.

Zhuge Xiong was closely observing the Zhao army team below, and saw a Zhao army general majestic, he guessed that it was Ma Qiu himself, and his heart couldn't help but be excited, and he was ready to give the order to attack at any time.

"General, the main force of the Zhao army has entered the predetermined position, attack!" A subordinate reminded in a whisper.

Zhuge Xiong shook his head and said softly: "Don't worry, the men and horses in front of the Zhao army have just entered, and it is not too late to attack when the soldiers and horses enter the predetermined area." ”

Zhuge Xiong's purpose is very clear, that is, to let go of the forward men and horses of the Zhao army, and go all out to deal with the Chinese soldiers and horses led by Ma Qiu himself, and it is best to blow up Ma Qiu, the general of Zhao State, on the spot.

However, Ma Qiu and his soldiers were unaware of the impending danger, and still slowly moved forward, looking at both sides of the road from time to time.

Soon, Zhao's Chinese soldiers and horses entered the predetermined position, and Zhuge Xiong was also ready to give the order.

"Command, attack." Zhuge Xiong ordered in a low voice.

"Goo-goo, goo-goo-goo......" The general heard the words and conveyed the order with a code.

Soon, the soldiers of the Wudang Fei Army, who were ambushed in the shadows, lit the fuse that they had been holding in their hands, and then all the soldiers immediately picked up their crossbows and prepared to shoot the soldiers of the Zhao army.

Ma Qiu, the commander of the Zhao army who was marching, suddenly heard the sound of birds, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he didn't hear birds at all along the way, but now there was a sudden sound of birds, which had to attract his attention.

Ma Qiu thought about it carefully, when he passed through the Bird and Mouse Mountain when he led the army to the west, there were bird calls all the way, and now, walking on the Bird and Mouse Mountain, he only heard a bird call, isn't it weird, what is even stranger is that not only is there no bird call, not even the sound of insects, and the surroundings are a little scary.

"There's an ambush, there's an ambush nearby." Ma Qiu was shocked and screamed involuntarily.

When the soldiers beside him heard this, they were all taken aback and looked around in horror.

"Hiss...... Soon, the position where the lead burned was at the feet of Zhao Jun.

The soldiers of the Zhao army looked at the wisps of green smoke under their feet in horror, and suddenly, they didn't quite understand what this was, only Ma Qiu and other generals knew, this should be what Sun Fudu said, the secret weapon of the Jin army's great power,

Seeing that the powerful new weapons of the Jin army were at their feet, Ma Qiu and other generals suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, if there were powerful Jin weapons under their feet, they would not be able to dodge, and could only wait for the arrangement of fate.

The lead had burned to the end, looking at the wisps of green smoke rising from the cluster of Zhao Jun, Zhuge Xiong and the soldiers under his command were suddenly extremely excited, and looked forward to the next thing.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" black and gunpowder blocks exploded one after another, and the huge sound was enough to be heard for dozens of miles.

In the camp of the Jin army at the foot of Bird and Mouse Mountain, Hua An clearly heard the explosion in the mountain, which made him excited, this violent sound is enough to show that Zhao Jun has entered his preset ambush circle and may have suffered a huge blow.

In order to understand the results of the battle ahead, Hua An left the camp with a group of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers, and rode his horse to the ambush location of Zhuge Xiong.

The power of the explosion was extremely huge, and the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army were suddenly blown up, and countless soldiers of the Zhao army fell in a pool of blood, and the soldiers who lacked arms and legs were countless, and the wails sounded.

Even the war horse on which Ma Qiu was sitting lost his legs by the violent black powder explosion, and knocked Ma Qiu to the ground.

This sudden huge blow made the soldiers of the Zhao army lose their square inches suddenly, especially the war horses were startled by the huge sound and began to run around, and the cavalry could not control it at all.

"General, General." Seeing that Ma Qiu was thrown off the horse, several generals hurriedly gathered over and helped Ma Qiu up.

Ma Qiu was not hurt, he gasped and looked around with a look of remorse.

"Retreat, retreat immediately." Ma Qiu gave the order to retreat.

At this time, the formation of the Zhao army had been completely scattered, and the soldiers and war horses were scurrying everywhere, and there was no problem of retreating at all, but there had already been a rout.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Zhao army were blown up, especially the main general Ma Qiu was also thrown off the horse, Zhuge Xiong and the soldiers under his command were immediately very enjoyed.

Zhuge Xiong saw that Ma Qiu was about to run, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered: "Order, release the arrow." ”

When the general heard this, he raised his military flag and shouted, "Soldiers, release arrows." ”

The Wudang Feijun who was in ambush had already held back their strength, and when they saw that the main general ordered the arrows to be released, they all stood up from the ambush position, and raised their crossbows flatly, aiming at the Zhao army cluster.

"Whoosh...... Five thousand Wudang flying troops shot at the scattered Zhao army almost simultaneously.

Five thousand crossbows shot out in a short period of time, and the dense crossbow arrows rained down on the scattered Zhao soldiers.

"General be careful." Seeing the Jin army's crossbow arrows coming, Ma Qiu's personal soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to protect Ma Qiu's safety.

Ma Qiu looked up and saw that there were only five thousand Jin troops on the hillside on the left, but the frequency of shooting arrows was extremely high, as if 50,000 crossbowmen were shooting at the same time.

"The new weapons of the Jin army are not the same, this is God who wants to destroy our army!" Ma Qiu said a deflated word helplessly.

"General, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's go quickly!" The general said, holding his shield aloft and protecting Ma Qiu as he retreated to the rear.

After a round of 50,000 crossbow arrows of the 5,000 Wudang Flying Army was fired, there was a gap in the attack, and in the gap when the Wudang Flying Army loaded the crossbow arrows, the soldiers of the Zhao army accelerated their rout.

By the time Wudang Feijun launched the second round of attacks, most of the soldiers of the Zhao army had already fled, and after Zhuge Xiong and his soldiers finished shooting the second round of crossbow arrows, the soldiers of the Zhao army could not move except for the dead and seriously injured, and the rest of the soldiers all fled away.

In order to preserve his own strength, Zhuge Xiong, in accordance with Hua'an's order, did not order the army under his command to follow the pursuit, but continued to stay in place to wait for Hua'an's order.

It didn't take long for Hua An to arrive at the location of Zhuge Xiong's ambush with a group of generals and personal soldiers. (To be continued......)
