However, to the surprise of the Wei people, the seemingly raging fire rushed to the front of the Shu military camp on the top of the mountain, but it was weak and slowly extinguished. From their point of view, they couldn't see that the Shu army had cleared out a firebreak, so the Wei soldiers and Wei generals standing under the mountain were all dumbfounded, and they thought that if the Shu army had divine help, even the fire would not burn them.

Sima Wang's face was pale, he originally had high hopes for the fire attack plan, even if he couldn't burn the Shu army, it would be enough to burn him to pieces, and the Wei soldiers would take advantage of the situation to attack the mountain, and they could lay a winning opportunity in one fell swoop.

But the fire in the middle of the mountain was strangely extinguished, which made Sima Wang very disappointed, and after the fire attack failed, there was only one way left to attack and take it hard.

After the first attack three days ago, Sima Wang understood that Jieting Tushan was definitely a hard nut to crack, and it was estimated that the number of Shu troops on the top of the mountain was at least more than 20,000.

The Shu army on the mountain did not have the water shortage he expected, obviously the people came prepared, which put Sima Wang in a dilemma, there was no point in besieging Tushan, and there was no chance of victory if he attacked it. But now Sima Wang has no choice, if he doesn't take the street pavilion as soon as possible, the whole situation will become more and more passive. You must know that Sima Wangke shoulders Sima Zhao's expectations, and he himself swears that he must recover Longyou.

Of course, this is not the first time Sima Wang has suffered difficulties in his military career, as a general who has experienced a hundred battles, it is impossible for Sima Wang to drop the chain at this critical juncture, since it is impossible to conquer Tushan through other means, then concentrate superior forces and use the most tough means to take Tushan.

All in all, Sima Wang must also take down the street pavilion at all costs and open the passage for the westward march to Longyou.

Unlike the tentative assault three days ago. This time, the Wei army attacked again, and the scale and intensity of the troops invested were unprecedented, and the entire Wei soldiers were put into a group-like charge, and Sima Wang mobilized hundreds of bed ballistas to provide strong fire support to the attack echelon.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is at least a distance of two arrows, such a distance. Archers are not able to provide strong support to the attacking troops, and only long-range and powerful bed crossbows are suitable for use here.

Huge arrows roared towards the top of the mountain, the heavy shield could be easily split in half by it, and even the fence with the thickness of the bowl mouth was shattered into sawdust, how could the flesh and blood of the Shu soldiers resist, and the devastating blow brought by the giant arrows of the bed crossbow was incomparable.

This time the Wei army's attack did not move forward along the narrow mountain road, after all, for the Wei army, which invested tens of thousands of troops to attack at one time, the mountain road that could only accommodate more than ten people walking side by side was too narrow. It simply can't be done.

Now the first task of the Wei army is to build roads, widen the road of attack, and let more Wei soldiers join the attack queue, so as to bring pressure to the Shu army on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, the Wei soldiers of the first wave of offensive echelons were not attacking troops, but engineering troops, and they used the method of filling and burying and chiseling, and carved out several offensive passages on the cliffs of Tushan. In this way, the subsequent Wei soldiers could launch a fierce attack on the top of the mountain along these passages.

Tang Bin, Hu Shi and other generals personally supervised the battle on the front line, and they all understood Sima Wang's determination. The performance at this time will definitely leave a deep impression on Sima Wang's heart, and they all want to compete for the first merit of this street pavilion, and spare no effort to urge their troops to attack forward.

The battle situation in the entire Tushan fell into a white-hot level, the Wei army attacked frantically, and the Shu army desperately defended, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Countless arrows intertwined in the air, like a crochet woven into a web of arrows, flying locusts all over the sky.

The mountains were covered with a sea of brown, and the rugged mountain roads were crawling with soldiers of the Wei army. Arrows and stones rained down, and there were constantly Wei soldiers falling on the way forward, but the momentum of the Wei army's offensive seemed to stop forever, one soldier fell, and immediately another soldier would fill his position, although the entire hillside was covered with Wei soldiers' corpses, but the momentum of the Wei army's offensive never showed signs of decay.

There is no good battle for a tough battle, Sima Wang naturally knows this truth, especially in a mountainous battle like this, the other party is condescending, and he needs to attack on his back, so the price to pay will inevitably be very large. Fortunately, the Wei army has an absolute advantage in numbers, and can use the tactics of crowds to crush the enemy's will to defend with continuous attacks.

When the battle is fought to this extent, there is no way out, even if it costs a lot, Sima Wang will not hesitate to do it. Sima Wang ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, wearing heavy armor and holding a sword to personally stand at the foot of the mountain to supervise the battle, you must know that this place is the range that the opponent's bed crossbow can attack, Sima Wang stood here, just to tell the soldiers of the Wei army that the commander is not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of war?

Fu He also came to the front line to command, looking at the Wei soldiers who came like ants, Fu He calmly responded to the battle, bows and arrows, crossbows, rolling wood, stones, all the weapons that could be used, all put into it. In such a battle, the huge role played by the Yuan Rong crossbow is incomparable, one shot and ten arrows, the stormy blow can almost form a death fan, under each round of crossbow shooting, the Wei army is a mourning field, heavy casualties. Rolling wood and stone is a weapon of mountain defense warfare, the huge rolling wood and stone roar down, with the power of pulling and destroying, sweeping thousands of troops, slightly touched a little, either dead or wounded, often a rolling log can sweep a large area of the Wei army.

However, the Wei army's crazy offensive also brought great difficulties to the Shu army. The giant arrows of the bed crossbow continued to shoot up the mountain, causing great casualties to the Shu army, and the area where the bed crossbow fired intensively would even cause a short gap in the Shu army's defensive position.

"Father, the southeast has been broken through by the Wei army, and hundreds of Wei soldiers have poured up the mountain." Fu Zhao hurriedly ran over and reported to Fu Zhi with a panicked expression.

Due to the great casualties caused by the shooting of the bed crossbow to the Shu army, the strength of the entire southeast defense line was sharply reduced, and the Wei army took advantage of the situation to break through the defense of the Shu army and was constantly rushing up the mountain, and the defense line of the Shu army suffered an unprecedented crisis.

Fu Yan's eyes were red, as red as blood, he pulled his sword in his hand, jumped up, and rushed towards the southeast in the first place, shouting in a deep voice as he walked: "At all costs, plug the gap for me!" (To be continued.) )
