Cao Zhang and his Cao Bing understood what the Brainwashing Divine Comedy was overnight, and they were like Sun Wukong who had heard the curse, and they couldn't wait to be deaf. In the end, Cao Zhang had to order the soldiers to tear their bedding and clothes, and plug them in their ears with strips of cloth dipped in water, so that they could barely resist the sonic attack outside the camp. But in the second half of the night, something happened that made Cao Zhang even more devastated, and Dian Wei took a team of people to replace Hua Bei.

Not to mention that Cao Zhang and Cao Bing's vanguard didn't sleep this night, even Li Ru's Chinese army didn't sleep peacefully. Beating gongs and drums to disturb the enemy is not uncommon for Li Ru, and it is the first time Li Ru has encountered it by howling all night to disturb the enemy. finally survived until dawn, Cao Bing was listless one by one, and the devastating rhythm seemed to echo in his ears, as if he had really been brainwashed. Li Ru secretly decided that if Nan Ye came to make trouble again tonight, he must send cavalry to drive away the harassing soldiers, even if he was ambushed.

After dawn, Zhang Bai rode back and again, and once again became the guide of Cao Jun. Unlike yesterday, when Zhang Baiqi left, Ma Yunluo did not come to take Zhang Baiqi's place. However, at this time, there is only a straight road ahead, and even if there is no one to lead him, Cao Zhang does not have to worry about going in the wrong direction.

Zhang Baiqi led five hundred cavalry all the way forward, and at the end of the road was a horse-blocking pile, and there was only a narrow passage between the countless horse-blocking piles to pass through. Dian Wei led several vine armor soldiers who were still arranging to reject the horse, and when he saw Zhang Bai riding coming, he let him pass through the passage, and then ordered the soldiers to block the only passage.

After passing through countless horse-repellent piles and crossing a low wall, Zhang Baiqi saw the Jiaozhou army waiting for him, but he didn't see Nan Ye. Only Ma Yunluo and Hua Bei were directing the soldiers to carry wood and stone, and debugging more than a dozen improvised thunderbolts. 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 wisteria armor troops, 10,000 Jiaozhou troops, these are all the men and horses here.

When Ma Yunluo saw Zhang Baiqi coming back, he asked, "How far is Cao Jun from here?" ”

Zhang Baiqi smiled and said: "There are still more than twenty miles, which is enough for me to wait for the arrangement." ”

After arranging the rejection of the deer, Dian Wei walked up from behind Zhang Baiqi and said with some concern: "I don't know if this Warring States Division will be in danger." ”

Ma Yunluo, Hua Bei, and Zhang Baiqi are also the same as Dian Wei, they follow Nan Ye on weekdays, and they are a little uneasy to leave Nan Ye at this time. Hua Bei didn't know whether to comfort Dian Wei or herself, she shook her fist and said: "Fujun Dao will be fine, and there are all the guards by his side." ”

Dian Wei nodded when he heard this: "Madam said yes." The more Cao Jun we kill later, the less dangerous the national teacher will be. The two ladies then led the state army to release arrows and operate the thunderbolt car. I led the Tengjia army to block the Cao army in front. The white cavalry led the cavalry to rest first. ”

Zhang Baiqi knew that the delaying task of the Jiaozhou cavalry had been completed, and it was time to see the Jiaozhou army and the rattan armor army exert their might. It was precisely because of the delay of 2,000 cavalry that the Jiaozhou Army had the opportunity to arrange such a position, and more than ten Thunderbolt vehicles were built.

Cao Zhang led Cao Bing along the road, and the mountains on both sides gradually steepened, and soon reached the point where people and horses could not climb. The forests on the mountain are gradually loosening, and there are low shrubs as far as the eye can see, and occasionally three or five cypress pines stand on the rocky mountains and cannot hide people. This allowed Cao Zhang to save the work of detecting ambushes and advance faster.

Soon Cao Zhang saw the rejection of the horse paved on the road ahead, and the Jiaozhou army after the rejection of the horse was also faintly visible. Obviously, Nan Ye arranged a blocking position here, but what Cao Zhang couldn't understand was why Nan Ye stopped here, and with the time to arrange a horse rejection, Nan Ye could run further.

It doesn't matter if Cao Zhang doesn't understand, because he still has someone to ask. Cao Zhangxian cautiously ordered the soldiers to stop, and then went to the Chinese army to ask Li Ru for advice. Because the Cao army marched slowly, there was no distance between the front army, the middle army, and the rear army at this time, and if you looked down from the mountain, you could see that the mountain road between the valleys was densely winding with 230,000 horses and horses.

Li Ru heard that the Jiaozhou army in front of him blocked the road, so he personally stepped forward to check, only to see that this is the mountain pass, the cliffs on both sides are straight into the clouds, and there is only one road in the middle, which can be used by four horses at most. Li Ru glanced at the layout of the Jiaozhou army in front of him, and frowned again, although the layout of the Jiaozhou army is simple, it is not easy to storm it, it can be said that it is not easier than attacking the city.

Xiahou Shang looked at the layout in front of him and frowned secretly, and asked Li Rudao: "What does Wen Xiansheng think Nan Ye means?" ”

Li Ru said: "Those who are generals should know astronomy and geography." Nan Ye led our army all the way forward, and the choices were all mountain roads, undoubtedly wanting to make our army useless. From my point of view, after the mountain pass here is a land of flat rivers. If we wait for the army to pass here, Nan Ye will no longer have a way to contain it, so we will leave the army and horses here to intercept it. ”

Cao Zhang said excitedly when he heard this: "In this way, as long as you pass the mountain pass here, you can capture and kill Nan Ye, yes or no?" ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Even if you can't capture him, you can also make him lose his troops." ”

Cao Zhang said: "Then I will lead the troops to seize this mountain pass." ”

Li Ru knew that attacking this natural danger would inevitably cause a lot of losses, but there were no forests here, only barren mountains, and it was impossible to build a key weapon. Li Ru estimated that the timber used by the Jiaozhou Army to make the rejection of horses must have been cut from behind the mountain pass, and it seemed that Nan Ye had already calculated all the factors.

Since it is impossible to build equipment, there is only a strong attack, but fortunately, Li Ru has enough soldiers, and he is not afraid of Nan Ye's few men and horses even if he attacks strongly. In Li Ru's opinion, Nan Ye's retention of troops here must be a gecko's tail cutoff, abandoning the car to protect the commander, 30,000 horses can leave 10,000 will be the end, Cao Zhang's 30,000 forwards are enough to deal with.

Li Ru said to Cao Zhang: "If Your Highness can take this mountain pass before sunset, it will be the first credit." ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhang took the order and left, and soon returned to the front of the formation, and ordered Cao Bing: "The sword and shield soldiers stepped forward to clean up the rejected horses!" Crossbowmen release arrows! ”

The positions of the rejected horses are all within an arrow, and Cao Zhang's soldiers are not to shoot and kill the Jiaozhou soldiers, but to cover and clean up the Cao army that rejected the horses. After receiving the order, the Cao soldiers and archers released their arrows one after another, and the sword and shield soldiers were in teams of two, one raising a shield in front and one clearing the horse rejection stakes in the rear.

The rattan armor army led by Dian Wei formed the first line of defense, and in the face of the rain of arrows in the sky, the three thousand rattan armor army laughed in unison, and at the same time raised the rattan shield in their hands. Cao Bing was far away from the rattan armor army, and the arrows shooting on the rattan shield and rattan armor were already the end of the strong crossbow, and they couldn't shoot through the invulnerable rattan armor at all, just wasting arrows in vain.

Ma Yunluo led the Jiaozhou army after the Tengjia Army, she saw that Cao Bing was well defended and did not order the arrows to be released, but just watched Cao Bing clean up the horse rejection stake. After those Cao soldiers lifted the horses, they found that there was nowhere to put them, because the road was full of cliffs on both sides, so they could only drag and drop the horses on both sides of the road. In this way, although a passage has been cleared, the road with four horses in parallel has become a width of two horses in parallel, which increases the difficulty of tackling key problems.

Cao Chang found that the Jiaozhou army did not shoot arrows to stop the soldiers who had cleared the antlers, and also found that the crossbowmen seemed to be ineffective against the Jiaozhou army, so he ordered the crossbowmen to stop firing arrows. At this time, the sword and shield soldiers who were clearing the road were still twenty steps away from the Jiaozhou army, and if they fired any more arrows, they would hurt their own soldiers.

Of course, Ma Yunluo and Dian Wei would not watch Cao Bing clean up all the way to the front. As soon as the rain of arrows of the Cao army stopped, Ma Yunluo led a team of Jiaozhou troops to the front of the battle. This team of Jiaozhou soldiers were all armed with strong crossbows, and they aimed at the Cao soldiers who were cleaning up the antlers and shooting.

Cao Jun's sword and shield soldiers cleaned up all the way without encountering danger, and they were all stunned when the sound of the crossbow "flutter~" sounded. Several Cao soldiers, who were carrying the antlers of the rejecting deer, were shot by the crossbow arrows and let out a miserable scream, and fell directly on the antlers they were holding, and were stabbed in the intestines by the wooden cone on the rejecting deer, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Cao Bing, who reacted, hurriedly threw the antlers in his hand and hid behind the shield-wielding Cao soldiers, and those shield-wielding soldiers also raised their wooden shields in front of them for the first time. Their reaction was not wrong, but they underestimated the power of Jiaozhou's strong crossbow. The short distance of twenty steps maximized the power of the crossbow, and the crossbow bolt shot directly through the wooden shield and through the body of Cao Bing, killing Cao Bing who held the shield and Cao Bing who carried the antlers one by one. The lucky Jiaozhou army even shot two Cao soldiers with an arrow, like a string of sugar gourds.

Cao Zhang saw the soldiers fall in front of the battle one by one, and knew that it was time to fight desperately. He raised the halberd in his hand and said, "Rush forward!" Kill them all! ”

After Cao Bing received the order, he rushed to the front of the battle one after another, and they stepped on the corpse of the robe with their shields, and rushed forward with strong crossbows. The crossbowmen commanded by Ma Yunluo no longer had to aim, they stepped forward in a row to shoot crossbow arrows, and then retreated to the back without looking, and replaced with another row of crossbowmen to shoot arrows again. The dense formation of the Cao army made every crossbow arrow not miss, and the unlucky Jiaozhou army could also seriously injure the Cao soldiers, and the lucky ones could often shoot two people with one arrow.

The distance of twenty steps was completely paved with flesh and blood, and Cao Bing stubbornly squeezed the antlers in front of him to both sides of the road with his body, opening a passage to the Jiaozhou army. At this time, they discovered that there was a half-human-high low wall behind the antlers, and standing behind the low wall was a heavily armored Dian Wei and a bloodthirsty vine armor army with bloodthirsty eyes.

Ten Steps...... Eight Steps...... Six Steps...... Dian Wei calculated the distance between Cao Jun and himself, and when Cao Jun was still five steps away, Dian Wei threw the halberd in his hands, and the two halberds took the lives of four Cao soldiers with the sound of the wind, and each halberd killed two people. Then two halberds flew out, and eight people ...... Sixteen people...... Dian Wei shot more than 20 people with more than ten halberds, and then Cao Bing also came to the front.

Dian Wei picked up the double halberd in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" The eighty-pound double halberd smashed the two Cao soldiers out at that time, and knocked down several Cao soldiers in the rear team.

Seeing that Dian Wei Fawei was also furious, they held a rattan shield in one hand to resist the fierce attack of the Cao army, and in the other hand they held a steel knife to frantically slash and kill those Cao troops who dared to approach the low wall. The battle reached a climax in an instant.
