Whoosh! The archers hidden behind the Xiangju army began to shoot arrows at the opposite side, and the arrows rained down densely from above.

The Kushan soldiers continued to rush forward with shouts while waving their shields to cover them, and when they were still a hundred meters away, these soldiers suddenly threw their short spears at this side.

Sou! Sou! The wind was howling, and the attack power of the short spear far exceeded that of the bow and arrow, impacting the shield, although it could not penetrate, but it still hit Xiangju's team, and the shield fell crookedly, panicked, and couldn't help but retreat backwards.

The short spear in the hands of the Guishan soldiers was not used to fight, but was used to throw, which was beyond the imagination of Zhuge Liang, Wang Baoyu and others. It is conceivable that if the shield of the Shu army is protected in front, it will definitely be pierced by this short spear, causing a lot of casualties.

Blocking a round of short spear attacks, the Kushan soldiers instantly rushed to the front, they swung the heavy long swords in their hands, kept jumping, and used their bodies and long swords to combine their forces to hit the shield defense line of the Xiangju army.

In such a battle, the thick sword can not only play the role of defending against the attack, but also the effect of hitting the opponent's shield. The Kushan soldiers were not in a hurry to kill the enemy behind the shield, but swung their muscular arms and slashed at the shield when they could. The Xiangju army retreated while resisting, unable to parry.

Once the defensive line built by Xiangju with shields is broken up, the hand-to-hand battle between the two armies will officially begin, and according to the current morale of the Guishan soldiers, the possibility of defeat of the Xiangju army is extremely high.

Although there was not a single Han in the team led by Xiangju, Zhuge Liang didn't want them to suffer losses because of this, so he immediately ordered: "Roll out the stone-throwing cart and cover the retreat of the Xiangju soldiers!" ”

Thousands of stone-throwing carts were immediately pushed over, and then the banners fell again and again, and the overwhelming stones were thrown towards the Kushan army.

The impact of the stone is not comparable to manpower, and the screams sounded, and those Guishan soldiers who rushed to the front were hit by the stones, although they were not stoned to death, but the injured were countless, and the speed of the attack slowed down significantly.

Zhuge Liang ordered the gong to be retracted, and Xiangju's army heard the signal and immediately under the cover of stones, the entire army began to retreat.

After withdrawing for ten miles, the army of Heras pursued it for a while, and saw that the flying stones were continuous, so in order to avoid heavy casualties, they retreated back and continued to garrison in the same place.

"Thank you Prime Minister for the rescue!"

Xiangju initiated his inner thanks, he has seen the situation clearly today, Zhuge Liang just wants to help him preserve his strength, this kind of open-mindedness makes him admire it very much.

"Since you have returned to me, we are one flesh, and we share weal and woe. Today, our army has found out the situation in Kushan, and if you fight again in the future, you can follow in the rear, and you don't have to rush to the front. Zhuge Liang said.

"No, Xiangju should lead the soldiers to move forward bravely and repay the prime minister!" Xiangju said sincerely.

"Life is precious, and it should not be in vain. Today, you have learned about Guishan's combat methods, and you should improve your life in the future, don't slack off, and it is your duty now to ensure that the people are safe and the country strong. Zhuge Liang nodded.

Xiangju was grateful again and then retreated, Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu began to study how to break through the Kushan army, judging from today's situation, the body of the Guishan soldiers is very strong, and the shield protection is even more powerful, and some of the army brought by Zhuge Liang is brought from Nanzhong, the body is thin, more than dexterous, and the strength is insufficient.

"Sir, the Kushan soldiers are very good, and it will be difficult to break through them and capture Heras." Wang Baoyu himself vetoed the method of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.

"Exactly, don't let our generals take risks." Zhuge Liang nodded.

"I think the melee between soldiers should be avoided as much as possible, and it is best to launch a long-range attack, today our catapult has a great advantage, and it is precisely because of this Heras that he took the initiative to retreat." Wang Baoyu pondered.

"Baoyu's meaning is the same as mine, the Guishan body is amazing, the protection is tight, the lethality of the short gun is good, and the head-on battle will definitely cause a lot of damage." Zhuge Liang nodded.

"I knew this, I should have brought some unicorn beasts over, I would definitely be able to disperse the protection of the Kushan army, no matter how strong a person is, after all, he is flesh and blood, where can he compare to these things that don't know pain and itch." Wang Baoyu said regretfully.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, Wang Baoyu's words still reminded him, and he quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this: "It is not invulnerable, the Guishan soldiers are surrounded by iron weapons, which are quite heavy and consume the body, which is suitable for short-term battles. ”

"Sir, what should we do next?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"Tomorrow you can send a cavalry, the enemy will stop and fight, and the enemy will chase and flee, don't let it get a moment of respite, and when it is tired, it will be broken up." Zhuge Liang said.

The army rested in place for one night, and early the next morning, Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun to lead two thousand archers, plus five thousand soldiers and horses, to challenge Heras according to the set plan.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang ordered Fan Jinqiang and Qian Mo to lead an army of 100,000 to prepare rockets in the rear, waiting for the Guishan army to be exhausted and launch a full-scale attack.

Seeing that there were only so few soldiers and horses, Heras was a little surprised, and said that the Han people were good at using the art of war, but they didn't expect to be so stingy when they shot, and they were not vulnerable at all! It's okay, gradually encroaching on the Han army, and if you don't wipe them out, you can also consume your strength.

However, what Heras never expected was that the team came up without saying a word, and immediately launched an attack, and bows and arrows continued to shoot at them.

Heras immediately sent 10,000 soldiers and horses with shields to pursue Zhao Yun, and what made him fall out of sight was that after the army was activated, Zhao Yun's army began to retreat, showing that it was unwilling to fight.

Heras was confused and ordered the team to stop, but the bow and arrow on Zhao Yun's side attacked again and launched a provocation. The Han army's archery was accurate, and nearly 100 soldiers fell to the ground with arrows in each round of attack.

After repeated times, Heras was finally furious, and in his judgment, this was the Han army's desire to gradually encroach on his strength, don't think! So he sent an additional 10,000 soldiers and horses, divided into two routes, and vowed to completely exterminate Zhao Yun's 8,000 people.

The situation has not changed much, Zhao Yun's army still leaves as soon as it fights, stops and attacks, and always maintains a distance that the short spear cannot throw, and the arrows fired by the Guishan army from a long distance are also easily blocked by the shields in the hands of the soldiers, and cannot cause damage.

The vast valley provided ample space for Zhao Yun's team, and they rode their horses and shuttled constantly, shooting arrows when they had the opportunity, and their demeanor was relaxed, but the other party just couldn't fight anyway, and they were so angry that Heras's beard was raised high.
