When two sides are fighting, it is necessary to understand the enemy generals.
According to the intelligence of the Qin army, Zhu Wei was brave, reckless, impulsive and warlike.
Based on this, Sun Qi immediately decided to lure the enemy deep into Shilinkou and launch a small counter-encirclement and annihilation campaign.
His order was quickly conveyed to the front line. At this time, the guard general at Shilinkou had secretly been replaced by Nie Xing. The enemy and we were also engaged in a fierce battle in front of the barrier.
The Shilinkou Defense Line is a military pass established based on the terrain. It has complete fortifications and guards the main road. It is a bit like a small city gate, and there are many defensive horses, so that the enemy cavalry cannot attack. Can rely on infantry to attack hard.
If the Ling Army wants to enter Jianyang and open up the Xuandi situation, they must break through these barriers.
The Qin army was in a commanding position, and the entire battlefield looked like a siege. General Zhu Wei was holding a sword in his hand and was shouting commands in front of the formation.
Nie Xing was also at the top of the barrier, coldly observing the battle situation.
After two hours of fighting, the Spirit Army had shed a lot of blood, but they still continued their offensive.
As for the Qin army, it began to show obvious defensive deficiencies, and its counterattack was relatively weak.
The changes on the battlefield could be clearly felt. When Zhu Wei saw this, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted with excitement: "Soldiers! The Qin army can no longer withstand it! Kill -"
This was exciting news. As he kept pointing his sword and shouting, the soldiers of Ling Army also charged more fiercely.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the already weak Qin army to be unable to resist any longer, and many defenses began to fall one after another.
Nie Xing, who had been observing the battle situation, waved his hand towards the general.
The latter understood and left quickly.
Not long after, the Qin army's retreat became more and more widespread, and some people began to shout in alarm: "Shilinkou has been lost! The Ling Army has already entered -"
Panic spread.
The soldiers of Qin Army began to appear in a state of focusing on one thing and not on the other, fighting and retreating at the same time.
"Hahahaha——" Seeing this, Zhu Wei couldn't help but laugh. He was about to command the attack, but a young general quickly stepped forward and persuaded: "General, Commander Huang ordered us to attack tentatively. We have no intention of defeating him. Now that the war is over, we may be able to withdraw our troops."
"What kind of troops are you recruiting!?" Zhu Wei suddenly showed his displeasure and said in a shocked voice: "Don't you see it! Now that the Qin army is defeated, Shilinkou will be captured by our army soon! How can we miss such a great opportunity! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the young general, but pointed his sword: "Brothers! Enter Shilinkou and capture the Qin army's general alive——"
"Kill--"
The cry of killing resounded throughout the Shilinkou battlefield. Countless soldiers of the Ling Army raised their swords high and swarmed towards the pass. Under such circumstances, the Qin army's retreat became more and more obvious.
In the midst of the chaos, in just a moment, the barrier was breached, and the spiritual army began to attack in full force...
In the direction of its main force, a fast horse was galloping over, its hooves trampling the ground and raising a slight amount of dust.
As soon as he got close, the soldier got off his horse, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said:
"Come to Commander Huang, great victory at Shilinkou! General Zhu Wei has broken through the Qin army's barrier!"
"What?" This was good news, but Huang Zu frowned. After thinking for a moment, he immediately said: "Quick! Send the order to Zhu Wei to withdraw the troops immediately!"
"Huh?" The soldier didn't respond.
"Go quickly!" Huang Zu was anxious.
"Yes, yes..." Although the soldier didn't know why, he didn't dare to neglect. After responding, he quickly mounted his horse, changed direction, and jerked the horse's buttocks.
Watching the messengers go away, Huang Zu was still worried. This was originally a tentative attack. Even if the Qin army's defense line had some flaws, it could not be broken so easily. This was obviously a false defeat.
But at this time, it was obviously too late for his military order to be conveyed to the front line.
Shilinkou.
The Qin army's defense line had been completely lost. After completely retreating from the pass, it looked like a large number of Qin troops were abandoning their helmets and armor and fleeing in a hurry.
Zhu Wei was so excited that he was so excited that he was not willing to miss it. After breaking through the barrier, he directly chased after him without stopping.
But soon, before they could catch up with the Qin army, within the checkpoint, the sounds of armor scraping could be heard from the mountains on both sides of the road.
The sounds became one and the soldiers of Ling Army subconsciously stopped their movements, raised their heads and looked around, and Zhu Wei did the same.
On the mountains on both sides, all you can see are black armor and red tassels, and all of them have bows and arrows fully drawn.
"Fire the arrow!" Nie Xing shouted coldly.
The flag was waved.
At that moment, thousands of arrows were fired, and black arrows rained down from both sides. They were densely packed, like two giant nets, and fiercely covered the spirit army.
Plop, plop!
The sound of armor breaking into flesh was mixed with miserable howls one after another.
There was also a continuous sound of weapons clashing.
Some people waved their swords desperately to block the arrows, but if their movements were a little slow, their whole bodies were instantly nailed into hedgehogs.
The general of the Spirit Army swung his sword to knock away the random arrows, and at the same time said anxiously: "Oh, General! There is an ambush here!"
Needless to say, Zhu Wei is not blind. He was so excited just now. Now he was frightened and angry. While waving his sword, he shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly——"
The spirit army was eager to pursue and retreat even more urgently, but now it is not that easy to leave!
Sun Qi was here, he had deployed heavy troops, and he kept firing arrows from both sides, and he was shooting high and low, and he was shooting completely hard.
In the process of returning to the original route, Ling Army's soldiers were shot over by random arrows in large numbers. It can be said that they walked all the way and left behind corpses along the way.
Fortunately, due to the limitations of the ambush point, this place is not far from the checkpoint. After suffering heavy losses, Zhu Wei finally rushed here with the remaining troops.
But the barrier that had just been breached was now blocked again. In front, there were countless soldiers of the Qin army, with heavy shields in front and halberds behind, blocking the way back.
In this situation, there was nothing to hesitate about. Zhu Wei gritted his teeth and pointed his sword forward again: "Kill!!"
After shouting, he was the first to rush over, taking the lead.
All the spirit armies understand that if they don’t charge at this time, everyone will die here! Therefore, without stopping, they all shouted together, followed Zhu Wei, and rushed forward crazily.
When the two sides met, without saying a word, a war broke out.
With the shield in front and the halberds stabbing together, a row of spiritual soldiers were instantly harvested. Many people were hooked on the ankles and pulled directly into the shield formation. What followed was a miserable howl.
On Zhu Wei's side, his martial arts skills were naturally not comparable to those of ordinary soldiers. Under his lead in the charge, he directly scattered several heavy shields, then grabbed a shield, held the sword in his right hand, bowed inside, and used brute strength to Pounce forward.
He was so brave that after defeating them in a circle, he rushed into the Qin army. He slashed and slashed with his sword left and right. The soldiers were overwhelmed and screamed miserably. With blood splattering, he screamed loudly: "Come with me and charge - "
There were not many Qin troops here. During the bloody battle, he really tore a hole open. Upon seeing this, the spirit army immediately became energetic and followed closely behind.
