In this breakout battle, the Wu army did not choose to attack at night, because they were not familiar with Mount Lu, they would be dizzy at night, and the weather would be colder.
So the fighting broke out the morning after the deployment.
The first ones to launch the attack were naturally Liu Zhong and Yang Yong. Each of them led 20,000 troops and issued the order to charge against the defense lines on the left and right sides of the valley.
With 20,000 people, although the scale of the battle was not very large, the horizontal front stretched for several miles.
Viewed from a high altitude, the entire scene was filled with Wu troops swarming towards the hillside.
The Qin army's defense line was not built on mountains, but on an entire sloping earth slope, long enough that people below could rush up.
It's just that in the era of cold weapons, if you use low to defeat high, you will be at an absolute disadvantage.
At the foot of the hillside, countless Wu troops raised their swords high and shouted to kill, as if their lives were at risk, because everyone knew that their side had no way out.
Under this momentum, soon, the Wu army at the front was close to the top of the slope, but before they could come up, the Qin army's infantry had already raised their halberds.
The advantage of this terrain is so great that with just one shot of a halberd, Wu Jun could be stabbed to death with his eyes closed. One group of Wu Jun came up, and the next group were stabbed. They rolled down the hillside, and along with them, they also knocked over many people who were climbing the slope. .
Of course, there were also Qin troops who were hooked down the hillside by ropes and other things from time to time, but the number of casualties was completely negligible compared to the Wu army.
This was more like a one-sided massacre.
As the war started, intelligence from various places began to be continuously transmitted back to the coaches of both sides.
From a high place, standing here, you can overlook the entire valley bottom, and you can also vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from the left defense line.
Not long after, the leader of the Snow Tribe's military aircraft came to report. Su Yi looked at the overall situation, combined with the battlefield situation, and got a good idea.
Goldman next to him said: "Commander Su, the main force of the Wu army should still be looking for a breakthrough point, and I don't know where Huangfu Ye is planning to break through."
After hearing this, Su Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Then create the best place for them to break out, send an order to Ning Zhan, and ask him to pretend to mobilize on the northern front and give the illusion of supporting the left side."
As soon as he gave the order, the falcon began to circle in the sky. After Ning Zhan received the military order, he began to make a big show of his troops and shrink his troops to the left.
Naturally, such a movement could not be hidden from Wu Jun's spies, and the news quickly spread to the Chinese army's main tent.
At this time, the main force of the Wu army was fully prepared and was waiting for the best opportunity. After listening to the spies' report, the deputy general immediately said: "It seems that General Liu Zhong has successfully affected part of the Qin army's defense line. Now the Qin army's northern line strength We are gathering to the left, probably to encircle General Liu's troops first."
"Yes, this is the time for my main force to break out." Another general said.
When Huangfu Ye heard this, he frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy: "Is it too hasty to break out now? It's better to wait until the war is over, and then stay in a stalemate."
"But General!" A general said anxiously: "If we delay the mobilization of troops on Qin's northern line, General Liu Zhong will soon be wiped out. By then, it will be too late to leave!"
"General, think twice!" All the generals also advised him.
Huangfu Ye looked around, thought again and again, took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Send an order to the entire army to break out to the north!"
"No!" Everyone clasped their fists together.
Immediately afterwards, the main force of the Wu army made a big move, gathering 80,000 troops and pounced directly to the north of Xiaogu.
This military action was very fast. After the two sides met, they started a fierce battle without saying a word.
This time, since the Wu army divided into two troops, their intention was obviously to break the siege in one battle. Therefore, not only did their combat power increase, but they also used all the last available arrows.
Arrows were fired back and forth. On the hillside and down the hillside, soldiers from both sides were hit by arrows and fell to the ground from time to time. The vertical shields were constantly moving, the swords were waving randomly to block, and the soldiers were rushing forward and charging down the slope...
This was a fierce battle. Wu Jun was stabbed one group at a time, and another group rushed forward in a steady stream.
I don't know how many bodies fell down the hillside, and they were already bleeding like rivers.
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, under this fierce counterattack, it seemed that a hole was finally opened. When the Wu army saw this, they were overjoyed. Their instinct to survive also boosted their morale again.
"Come on -"
The general pointed his sword, and behind him were countless Wu soldiers, screaming crazily and rushing up the hillside.
Huangfu Ye also had a look of surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but urge: "Hurry! Hurry!"
This is just the first line of defense for the Qin army.
After conquering the hillside, they entered the mountain road leading out of the Xiaogu Valley. Once here, the scene became even more tragic.
Rolling rocks and falling trees continued to fall, and a huge barbed mace mixed with dust crashed into the crowd from the mountain, killing and injuring everyone with one impact.
The man fell over on his back, and a general of the Wu army rode on a war horse and kept shouting: "Protect the general! Protect the general——"
After shouting, countless soldiers quickly gathered around Huangfu Ye, surrounding him inside.
"Rush! Rush out of here—"
At this point, Wu Jun began to ignore them, ambush with their heads above their heads, leaving corpses on the ground, and tried their best to get out of the valley.
But when they arrived at the corner, what came into view on the road ahead was overwhelming black armor and red tassels.
Xu Rong rode in front of the military formation and waved without hesitation: "Fire the arrow!"
Following his order, several rows of arrows were fired together in a row.
Plop, plop!
In just an instant, the Wu Jun who had just arrived were shot over several rows, letting out pitiful howls one after another.
"Heavy Shielder Cover!"
Xiang Mo held his sword and shouted: "The cavalry will attack with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he smashed the horse's butt, led a large number of cavalry, and was the first to rush out.
Horse hooves trampled the ground, and the other heavy shield bearers of the Wu army began to run quickly with vertical shields on their backs, covering the infantry, and began to press forward quickly.
"Array-"
At the command, heavy shields were smashed on the ground, halberds were held behind, and other Qin soldiers raised their crossbows and all pulled the triggers.
With such direct fire, Wu Jun's cavalry began to be shot off their horses during the charge, but the speed of others continued unabated. The two sides soon met, and the horses ran directly into the crowd. Under the blockage of the heavy shields, the people were turned upside down. At the same time, it also knocked down a piece.
Another halberd infantryman began to hook off the horse's legs. Wu Jun fell down. Before he could get up, he was hooked into the shield formation by another halberd, making a miserable scream.
The scene had become a chaotic battle. After Xiang Mo rushed in, he opened and closed, sending everyone flying, and then quickly aimed at Xu Rong.
The two of them were not far apart. Under the prancing horse, the long knife was swung fiercely, mixed with the sound of breaking wind.
Xu Rong's heart was frightened, and he parried with his sword in an instant. There was a clang, and the metal and iron were harsh. The two were separated with one blow, and then they fought together again without saying a word.
