At the mouth of the Baoxian Valley, there were 5,000 Wei troops arrayed, which happened to block Zhao Yun's 10,000 troops in the Baoxie Road. The contact between the two sides is just the bell mouth of the valley, and the Wei army can quickly replenish its manpower through the slightly spacious terrain, while the Shu army can only watch the battle ahead on the long snake-like plank road, unable to catch up with the support.

The favorable terrain offset the advantage of the Shu army in terms of strength, and Zhao Yun, who had fought all his life, had nothing to do, so he could only be patient and compete with the Wei army for the position of the valley mouth little by little.

However, he also knew that his task was to suspect the soldiers, that is, to attract the attention of the Wei army. Of course, it is better to be able to attract a little more, and if Wei Jun is not fooled, it is also the destiny of heaven. Fortunately, Cao Wei is now being attacked on both sides, and the main force is in the southeast, even if his task of luring the enemy is not completed perfectly, it will not affect Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's actions in Longyou.

Cao Wei's Western Theater had so many troops in total, even if all the men and horses in Guanzhong rushed to Longyou, it would have no effect on the disparity in strength between the two sides. His task, to put it bluntly, is dispensable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun was very disappointed, and it also made Zhao Guang, who followed Zhao Yun to fight, indignant. With such a mentality, Zhao Yun didn't need to approach the soldiers to fight hard, so the battle was fought so unhurriedly and without stopping, but it was definitely not fierce.

When Wei Yan arrived at the mouth of the valley, although the sun was still hanging in the sky, the two sides had already collected their troops and were ready to rest. After a day of fighting, but no one was tired, the Wei army was used to the weakness of the Shu army, the mood was very relaxed, and the confidence in completing the task was very high.

But they soon found out that there was a troublemaker behind them.

Wei Yan only brought 4,000 soldiers, but in the face of the 5,000 Wei army, he put on an offensive posture, and even had the intention of killing the 5,000 Wei army.

The Wei army was furious, and they left 2,000 men to guard the valley pass, and 3,000 men turned their backs to the formation. Prepare to rely on the favorable terrain to counterattack on the spot, and immediately send someone to notify Yiwu and ask for rescue.

Reaction to the Wei army. Wei Yan sneered in return, and on the one hand, he ordered the war drum to be beaten to inform Zhao Yun in the valley that he was coming, and on the other hand, he sent two hundred soldiers to form a death squad. A tentative charge was launched against the Wei army.

Two hundred warriors lined up in two sagittal formations a few paces apart, holding shields and clenching ring swords. Quickly approached the Wei army. Although there were two hundred of them, they cooperated tacitly and acted in unison, and even in the running, the formation did not spread out, like a double-headed arrow that would deform and bend. Quickly rushed towards the Wei army.

Behind them, the covering crossbowmen began to fire, and a feathered arrow flew over their heads, making a whooshing sound like locusts flying in the sky. Plunged into the ranks of the Wei army. The Wei army could not bear to show weakness, and set up a shield formation in front of the formation, and on the other hand, used bows and crossbows to fight back. The arrows of the two sides met in the air, and then separated, shooting into the opponent's array, shooting at the shield in the hands of the warriors, and resounding like popping beans. After a few arrows collided, they landed on the top of the warriors' heads, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and only looked at the Wei army's shield array that was getting closer and closer.

Within 100 paces, the crossbows of the Wei army began to exert their might, and one by one the crossbow arrows rushed out of the shield array with a fierce roar, and pounced on the Wei family soldiers who came in formation.

"Scatter!" The marquis who led the troops roared. The sagittal formation suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers in front began to run wildly. The crossbow arrows flew past them, deeply piercing the shields, and some even shot through the shields and pierced into the bodies of the guards, and the strong liliang knocked the running soldiers to the ground, and some even had an unstable foothold and fell off the cliff next to them, but the other soldiers didn't care about these at all, they just ran with their shields until they were shot by the crossbow arrows.

The power of the crossbow arrows was great, but the rate of fire was also slow, and the soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, and the Wei army only had a chance to shoot in one round. In order to avoid this problem, both the Wei army and the Shu army will use the three-wheel shooting method to increase the shooting density as much as possible. After three rounds of arrows, more than 30 of the 200 soldiers who charged for the first time were wounded and killed, and the rest rushed to the front of the formation, under the command of the military marquis, reunited into a sharp giant arrow, and crashed headlong into the shield of the Wei army.

"Kill!" The Shu army roared angrily, slammed sideways, raised its swords high, and fell like lightning.

"Kill!" The Wei army roared, the sword and shield man squeezed the shield with his shoulder, and the spearman clenched the spear with both hands and stabbed it out of the gap between the shields.

From the moment they came out of the battle, they had only two choices, either they died in front of the battle, and their families could enjoy a generous pension, or they could break through the enemy formation, go back alive, accept rich rewards, and get promoted and rich. The Wei family's military soldiers did not need the personal guards to suppress the formation, because they did not have the idea of escaping, not only for the lives of their parents, wives and children, but also for glory. Wei Yanhou raised his soldiers, and the soldiers were willing to die for him, and no one wanted to be a deserter and disgrace his own head of the family.

With a loud "boom", the two soldiers who rushed to the front were stabbed by spears, and blood burst out, but they were not afraid, and continued to rush forward, allowing the spear to pierce the body, and slammed into the shield in front of them, rushing to the front of the spearman, the long knife waved, and cut off the stunned spearman's head with a knife, and rushed forward with the bloody spear, opened his arms, held a Wei soldier, roared, and rushed down the cliff.

The Wei soldiers were frightened and inexplicable, and they screamed miserably, and the screams echoed in the valley, echoing in the hearts of every Wei soldier, making them shudder.

The Wei family soldiers were not afraid, they didn't even look at the robe that fell off the cliff, they just seized the opportunity created by the robe with their lives, and followed the small gap in the Wei army's shield, poured in, slashed and killed, and avenged the robe with the blood of the enemy.

The strength of the Wei family's soldiers was beyond the surprise of the Wei army, and before they could react, they were broken through the first line of defense by the soldiers, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, and the remaining soldiers were shocked and retreated. Although the soldiers were covered in blood, their morale was high, and they quickly changed formations, and the people who had just been fighting in front of them turned sideways to the side, and those who had not yet engaged in the battle quickly replenished to the front and rushed to the next blocking formation of the Wei army.

At the cost of more than 100 casualties, the fierce warriors broke through the three lines of defense of the Wei army in one breath and rushed to the front of the Wei army's main formation.

Looking at the Wei family's soldiers standing up like bloody people, the morale of the Wei army plummeted. They have been fighting with the Shu army in the Baoxiao Valley for so many days, and they have never seen such a desperate and strong Shu army. Looking at the scattered blocking positions behind them, and looking at the companions lying on the ground wailing, all the Wei soldiers felt a chill in the back of their heads, as if these Shu soldiers standing in front of the formation were not people, but killing gods from the underworld.

The Wei army panicked, but Wei Yan accurately seized the fighter, and he quickly sent a thousand soldiers to pounce on the main formation of the Wei army.

In the face of the fierce Shu army, the Wei army was forced to have no choice but to beat the war drums and muster up the remaining courage to face the battle.

The two sides, accompanied by the sound of passionate war drums, fought at the mouth of the Baoxie Valley. It's just that the morale of one side is like a rainbow, pressing step by step, but the other side is demoralized, tired of coping, and has no power to fight back.

Zhao Yun, who was in the valley, heard the sound of war drums outside the valley, and he was very cautious and did not launch an attack at the first time. On the one hand, he asked the soldiers to prepare for battle, and on the other hand, he asked people to climb the mountain rock and look at the battlefield outside the valley mouth. He didn't know who was fighting with the Wei army, could it be that Zhuge Liang had already taken all Longyou and sent people into Guanzhong?

The soldier who climbed high and looked far away quickly sent him the news: it was the banner of Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, who was fighting the Wei army outside the valley.

Zhao Yun was shocked, exchanged glances with Deng Zhi who came in a hurry, and shouted in unison: "Wei Yan? ”

Wei Yan is a strange soldier arranged by Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and the others don't know anything, they always thought that Wei Yan was burdened by Wei Ba, and now he is still in Nanzheng Tuntian. Hearing that Wei Yan appeared outside the valley, they were surprised and delighted, happy that if it was really Wei Yan, with his bravery, it would not be difficult to eat the five thousand Wei troops from inside and outside. What was surprising was that they didn't know whether Wei Yan's arrival here was Zhuge Liang's arrangement, or Wei Yan's own business.

If you change to someone else, you may not dare to do this, but who is Wei Yan? He's an unreasonable person, and as long as he thinks it's the right thing to do, he'll do it. He has a strong subordinate as the backing, even if Zhuge Liang doesn't give him people and horses, he also has the strength to act on his own, as for the result, it is not in his consideration.

No matter how Wei Yan came, since it was confirmed that it was Wei Yan and not the Wei army's plan to lure the enemy, Zhao Yun immediately ordered an attack, and Zhao Guang led five hundred soldiers to take the lead in charging the Wei army.

Zhao Guang, who had been aggrieved for too long, was inexplicably excited when he heard this, and rushed out of the camp with his five hundred soldiers like a gust of wind, raised his spear, and roared sharply: "Kill-"

The Wei army had been panicked by the strength of the Wei family's military guards, and the formation was crumbling, and now Zhao Yun ordered an attack again, and the Wei army was attacked by the enemy on its back, and it didn't take long for it to collapse. Some of them threw down their weapons and knelt on the side of the road, some climbed up the mountain, and many of them jumped off the plank road in a panic, threw themselves into the rushing sloping water, and fell on the rocks with interlaced teeth, screaming one after another.

The battle ended when the moon hung in the treetops of Dongshan, and through the chaotic battlefield, the Zhendong and Zhenbei generals of Shu Han triumphantly joined forces. Holding his head, the general of the Wei army, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the two Shu generals who were talking and laughing, and secretly sighed: "Lao Tzu is really honored to be caught between the two most warlike generals of Shu and Han!" ”

Zhao Yun pulled Wei Yan's arm: "Wen Chang, how did you get here?" ”

"From the Meridian Valley."

"Meridian Valley?" Zhao Yun was taken aback, and even more suspected that Wei Yan was sending troops privately, and his eyes couldn't help but tighten.

"General Zhao, you don't have to worry." Wei Yan was in a good mood, facing the veteran he had always admired, hahadaxiao, "I am a surprise soldier on the order of the prime minister, but I am not acting without authorization." General Zhao, pack up and hurry up with me to the Wuwu, your unsuccessful disciple has prepared the banquet and is waiting for you in the Wuwu. ”

Zhao Yun was surprised and delighted: "Ziyu? ”
