Qingshipo is 12 miles away from Guniuling in the west and 15 miles away from Chiweitan in the east, just like a porter carrying two baskets in the center, which can adapt to changes and rush to the aid of the two places at any time according to the situation of the battlefield.

However, He Yuanqing was clever and ignored Wu Qi's generals' orders, and led the army to climb the Niujiao Peak, which was not full of vegetation, and put 9,000 soldiers in a desperate situation, which made Wu Qi have to change his battle plan.

"Rush to the aid of Guniuling, desperately repel the thief army, and relieve the siege of Niujiao Peak!"

Wu Qi turned over his horse with a double sword in his hand, and led 2,000 soldiers and 10,000 horses and infantry mixed cavalry to march towards Guniuling, leaving only one general to lead 5,000 men to continue to sit on Qingshipo and support Chiwei Beach when necessary.

Guniuling and Chiweitan are two post roads leading to Huai'an County, and if any fortress is broken, troops can come to the city. And if one of them is broken, the thief army can also go around the back of the other group of men and horses, and attack back and forth, putting the Han army in a disadvantageous situation.

The dust trampled by 12,000 Han troops was flying, and they marched rapidly towards Guniuling, but they arrived near Niujiao Peak in half an hour, and the Han army on the peak waved their flags, and 9,000 soldiers were densely scattered from the halfway up the mountain to the peak, bending their bows and arrows one by one, and defending to the death.

Facing a team of more than 10,000 people lined up in a rectangular phalanx, a burly, strong and majestic Guishan general rode a five-flowered horse under his crotch, holding a pair of black sledgehammers, and was waiting for the arrival of the Han army.

"The army pauses!"

When he was still about 500 zhang away from the Kushan army, Wu Qi found a relatively high hillside on the side of the road, so he ordered him to stop the march, turn over and dismount and climb up the hillside to observe the reality of the enemy army.

Two thousand warriors lined up in a field grid formation, pressing the formation in the center, and 10,000 horses were separated on both sides of the formation of geese. The crossbowmen were at the front, the sword and shield men followed, and the three thousand cavalry and the warriors lived next to each other, ready to attack. A total of 12,000 men and horses formed a formation below the foot of the hillside, guarding the main general Wu Qi who climbed up the hill to observe the virtual reality.

Wu Qi, accompanied by Dai Zong, climbed this hillside under the scorching sun and looked around.

I saw that the Kushan army below Niujiao Peak surrounded at least 15,000 people. Moreover, with the way of the Han army, he also governed the Han army, dug a circle of trenches around Niujiao Peak, erected antler thorns, and built dozens of simple arrow towers on the opposite side of the trench, and set up a posture to trap He Yuanqing.

"Zhou Yu also saw that the grass and trees in Niujiao Peak were not growing, and this was planning to die of thirst for our army!"

Wu Qi frowned and muttered, looked up at the sky, the sun was like fire, and there were no clouds. It's just so hot in the morning, and I'm afraid it's even more difficult to suffer at noon.

The nine thousand soldiers must be sweating, and they need a lot of water supplementation, and they can last for two or three days due to the lack of water on weekdays, and the hot weather is afraid that it will be difficult for a day. Without water replenishment, many soldiers will faint from heat stroke. This has led to a sharp decline in combat effectiveness, and at least a decline in morale. At worst, the morale of the army collapsed.

The Kushan army that intercepted it head-on was about 15,000 people, all of them full of spirit and high morale, after all, the superiority in numbers gave them great confidence. Behind this array, there were 5,000 people standing by at the foot of a hillside, and there were people on the hillside looking at this side like Wu Qi.

The two hillsides were about a thousand zhang apart, and the two main generals faced each other apart from thousands of troops. Although I couldn't see each other's faces clearly, I could feel each other's eyes, which were provocative and contemptuous eyes.

"The scorching sun on the top of the mountain, the longer the soldiers support it, the more physical and mental strength is consumed, and they can only launch a strong attack on the thief army as soon as possible. Break up the encirclement at the foot of Oxhorn Peak! ”

Wu Qi was about to go down the mountain with two knives in his hand, and told Dai Zong as he walked, "This hillside is facing Niujiao Peak, when I charge the enemy, I bother you to wave the green flag to the mountain, He Yuanqing will definitely attack the mountain and fight me back and forth after seeing it!" ”

Dai Zong hurriedly grabbed Wu Qi: "General, you are the chief general of the three armies, or you will be in command!" ”

"Alas...... After General Enji was captured, there was a lack of generals under my command, so I had to charge into battle myself! Wu Qi shook his head and said helplessly.

Dai Zong waved the Pu knife in his hand, and swore and said, "Dai has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is also a little proficient in martial arts, if the general can be trusted, let me lead the charge of the team, right?" You command in the mountains! ”

Sitting in the Chinese army is much more important than charging into battle, since Dai Zong volunteered, Wu Qi agreed with his head: "In this case, I am tired of Dai Qianhu, and the war is over, Ben will definitely invite you for merit and reward!" ”

"Huh...... It is within the duty of the husband to be loyal to the country, why did the general say this, Dai went! Dai Zong agreed, and rushed down the hill with a knife.

"Blow the horn, attack!"

Seeing Dai Zong descending the hillside, Wu Qi gave an order to the heralds beside him, and at the same time waved the yellow flag on the hillside, ordering the wild goose arrays on both sides to charge forward.

"Kill!"

With the wave of Wu Qiling's flag, the 7,000 team was led by crossbowmen to open the way, followed by sword and shield soldiers, approaching the formation of the Kushan army. Dai Zong and a partial general named Lu Ju led the team to charge forward.

Seeing that the Han army began to attack, Zhou Yu had a smile on his face: "It seems that Wu Qi also knows that under this scorching sun, the Han army on the top of the mountain can't survive for too long, and it is taboo for soldiers to attack superior forces head-on with inferior forces!" Even if Wu Qi is alive, he has no skills to return to the sky, and this defeat of the Han army is inevitable! ”

Zhou Yu waved the red flag at the Kushan army not far from his feet, signaling Muhandas to wait for the Han army to attack, and to take advantage of the advantages by waiting for work.

With the sound of footsteps that shook the mountains, Dai Zong and Lu Yi led 7,000 people to approach the distance of about 150 zhang of the Guishan army, and when they saw that the Guishan army was still not moving, they ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows.

"Whoosh ......"

The three thousand crossbowmen who rushed in front fired a wave of crossbow arrows at the Kushan army, pouring down like a torrential rain.

"Shieldmen!"

With the shout of Muhandas, thousands of Kushan shield soldiers carried huge wooden shields to block the front, eliminating the rain of arrows of the Han army.

"Damn Zhou Yu, it's really calm!"

Wu Qi glared angrily at Zhou Yu, who was leisurely on the opposite mountain, his eyes were furious, but the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for He Yuanqing, so he could only forcibly attack the crowd with outnumbering.

"Blow the horn towards Oxhorn Peak!"

Wu Qi shouted loudly, waved a green flag towards the towering Niujiao Peak opposite, and ordered He Yuanqing to come down the mountain and attack Dai Zong and Lu Ju's men and horses.

When He Yuanqing first ascended Niujiao Peak, a wave of arrows rained down the corpses of the Guishan army all over the field, and his side was unscathed, quite proud. But it didn't take much effort, and the Guishan army set up an encirclement at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly understood Zhou Yu's intention, which was to kill the team alive and thirsty on the mountain!

The scorching sun scorched on the bare mountain, and the Han army sweated one by one, missing the clear spring water incomparably. But the more I couldn't think about it, the more dry my mouth became, but in the middle of the morning, many soldiers' lips had dried and turned white, and their tongues were almost numb to licking.

In desperation, He Yuanqing organized a death squad of 2,000 people to charge down the mountain, but was strongly blocked by Wu Yunzhao, and was blocked by the opponent's thorny antlers. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wu Qi led the army to help, which stabilized the morale of the soldiers on the mountain.

Seeing Wu Qi waving the flag towards Niujiao Peak non-stop, and the horn of the charge echoing under the scorching sun, He Yuanqing lifted the double hammer and greeted: "Leave two thousand people to guard the mountainside, and the others will charge down with me!" ”

"Kill!"

With Wu Qi's support, the morale of the Han army was much higher, and under the encouragement of the horn of the charge, they followed He Yuanqing and rushed down the hill and launched a charge towards the encirclement of the Kushan army.

"Charge the whole army!"

Seeing He Yuanqing rushing down from the mountain, Dai Zong and Lü Ju also led 7,000 men and horses to charge the Kushan position, with shield soldiers in front, crossbowmen in the back, and pikemen in the end.

Seeing the Han army attacking at the same time up and down the mountain, Zhou Yuxing made a move with a yellow command flag, ordered to meet the battle at the same time, and sent scouts to rush to Chiwei Beach to transfer 10,000 horses to reinforcements. As long as He Yuanqing's department can be completely annihilated, Wu Qi's arm can be broken, and Huai'an will be at his fingertips.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Muhandas's order, the Kushan army fired arrows at the Han army that rushed over, and the two sides shot at each other from a distance of more than a hundred zhang.

For a while, the rain of arrows roared in the sky, flying around, and many arrows collided together in the air, making a crackling and cracking sound, like locusts in the time of a locust plague.

The Han army released arrows while walking, and the dodge of arrows and the protection of shield bearers were much weaker, while the Kushan army lined up in place, and the defense was much safer. After a rain of arrows from both sides finished firing each other, the Han army fell six or seven hundred people, and only about 200 people fell to the ground in the Kushan army.

"Kill!"

More than 6,000 Han soldiers under the leadership of Dai Zong and Lu Ju fought with the oncoming 15,000 Guishan army.

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

Muhandas, carrying a hammer of one hundred and thirty pounds, rushed left and right in the midst of the chaos, and everywhere he went, the sledgehammer was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and there was no enemy in front of the horse.

"Eat me with a hammer!"

The rise of Muhandas's killing, he met a Han military captain head-on, swept with a double hammer, shook the Han military captain away, bled seven holes, and died on the spot.

It was none other than Lu Shou's brother Lu Shou who died.

Seeing his brother dead, Lu Zhi opened his beard, roared, and swung his gun at the fierce Guishan general: "Barbarian thief, return my brother's life!" ”

"Hmph...... You have to have the ability to do that, too! Muhandas snorted coldly and urged his horse forward to fight with Lü.

In the midst of the rebellion, the two generals exchanged hammers and spears, and the battle lasted seven or eight rounds, and the hammers and spears intersected, and the barrel of Lü Ju's spear was broken at once, and was smashed into meat cakes by Muhandas with a hammer and a man and a horse.

Muhandas was invincible, and after killing Lü Ju, he happened to meet Dai Zong on a narrow road, and laughed: "Your companion is too lonely on the Huangquan Road, so you can accompany him as a companion!" ”

Wu Qi saw on the hillside that the thief army was not only numerous, but also had fierce generals to help, he only gritted his teeth and angry eyes, waved the flag, and shouted: "The soldiers rushed forward and surrounded and killed this black-skinned barbarian general!" (To be continued.) )
