Chapter 378: Battle of the Street Pavilion (7)

In the defense of the top of the mountain, Fu Yi prepared two classes of men, the first group guarded the first line of defense on the top of the mountain, mainly archers and crossbowmen, to carry out long-range strikes on the Shu army attacking the mountain, and the second group of men and horses were reserves, mainly pikemen, in the second line, which was to make up for the omissions. Once the first line of defense was broken through by the Wei army, the reserves had to be filled in as soon as possible to plug the gaps in the defensive line.

The battle was so fierce that any unexpected situation would occur, and some sections were broken through by the Wei army, which was also expected by Fu Yan. The breakthrough is not terrible, the key is that it must not cause the entire defense line to collapse because of this. Therefore, as soon as Fu Yan heard that the southeast direction was broken through by the Wei army, he immediately took the lead and led the spear reserve to pounce.

There were not too many Wei soldiers who broke through the defensive line, only about three or four hundred, but the follow-up Wei soldiers were constantly trying to attack through this gap, and the situation was already quite critical.

Fu Yan roared angrily, and in three steps and two hurries, he had already rushed into the Wei army's formation, and his sword fell, and he directly cut off half of the head of a Wei soldier.

Fu Zhao followed closely behind, leading thousands of pikemen to rush forward like wolves. When the battle in front was tense, the pikemen as a reserve did not put into the battlefield, but recuperated in the back, and waited for the day, at this moment the Wei soldiers had rushed up, and these pikemen naturally had a place to use, Hulala pounced on them, and started a white-edged battle with the Wei soldiers.

Most of the Wei soldiers' siege troops were mainly heavy shield soldiers, and only soldiers with shields could block the bow and arrow shots on the mountain, but after going up the mountain, they faced the pikemen. The advantage of the heavy shield soldiers no longer existed, and the restraint of the class made them suffer greatly, and spears stabbed them fiercely. The Wei army only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.

The reserves of the Shu army had been recuperating all the time, and the soldiers of the Wei army who could attack the top of the mountain were already out of breath and exhausted, and the gap between the two sides in physical strength was also very obvious. The suppression of the troops, the superiority of physical strength, and the majority in numbers all allowed the Shu army to occupy an advantageous position. Although the Wei army continued to attack from the gap, they were never able to expand their gains and were always suppressed in the southeast corner.

With the Shu army launched a fierce assault. The Wei army was no longer able to resist and retreated from the gap in disarray.

The crossbowmen of the Shu army immediately blocked the gap, and the crisis of the southeast defense line was finally resolved.

During this day's offensive, the Wei army successively invested tens of thousands of troops. Round after round of attacks were launched. Thousands of casualties have been paid, but they have never been able to cross the minepool.

This made most of the Wei generals a little frustrated, and they didn't expect that the Shu people's defense was so tenacious, tenacious to the point of surprise, and their combat effectiveness that broke out in a desperate situation was shocking.

But Sima Wang's expression was as usual, he knew very well that he wanted to destroy the Shu people's will to defend. It wasn't something that could be done overnight, and he didn't expect to be able to attack in a day. You can take down the entire dirt mountain. Now what Sima Wang needs to do is to continue to launch an offensive, whether it is day or night, he must be in the midst of non-stop attacks at all times, this is a fight, and the fight is the perseverance and determination of both sides, only those who support it can be the final winner.

The attack at night was obviously more difficult than during the day, and although countless torches were lit to illuminate the mountains and mountains as if it were day, the Wei army marched on the top of the cliffs, and if they were not careful, they would stumble and fall, falling to pieces.

Fu He did not relax because of the coming of the night, he divided the Shu soldiers of the defense line into two parts, one part of the battle, one part of the rest, Fu He knew very well that the Wei army's night attack was more of a harassment, rather than a substantive attack, Sima Wang's intention was also very clear, that is, to let the defenders on the mountain in a non-stop battle, drag them down, and the Wei army had sufficient troops, which could ensure a continuous attack.

Sure enough, on the second day, the Wei army's attack reached a climax, the number of troops invested was twice as much as yesterday, the scale was huge, the entire slope of the earth mountain, the crowd of people, almost covered by the Wei army, the banner covered the sun, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky. The spirit of sacrifice and death shown by the Wei army is also commendable, and the entire Tushan is plunged into a sea of blood and fire, and the corpses almost fill in the mountain road, but it cannot stop the Wei army's determination to attack.

The Shu army has also invested almost all its defensive forces, and is fighting to the death, and when it comes to this part, there is no strategy and tactics to speak of, but more of the willpower of both sides.

The battle of Jieting was carried out in the most brutal way, fierce and stalemate, and no one knew what the outcome of this battle would be, one soldier after another fell, and both sides seemed to be fighting to the last drop of blood......

Return to your heart like an arrow!

Starting from Xiaoyu Valley, Liu Yin only took five days to return to Tianshui, and the battle of Jieting was in full swing, Liu Yin did not dare to have the slightest delay, and returned non-stop.

"Wenxuan, are you back, has Xiqiang been pacified?" Liu Chen personally went out of the city to greet Liu Yin, his eyes were bloodshot, and it was estimated that he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days.

"Everything is going well, Yao Kehui, the king of Xiqiang, has promised to return to my Han, and the trouble of Xiqiang has finally been solved." Liu Yin only said briefly, he was more concerned about the battle that was currently taking place in Jieting. "What's going on over there?"

Liu Chen is in charge of guarding Tianshui, but he is well aware of the situation in the street pavilion. "Sima Wang led an army of 100,000 to the west, with great momentum, and now he is blocked by General Fu in the street pavilion, and he can't enter the street, so he is concentrating his forces at this moment, and he is taking turns attacking the street pavilion Tushan day and night. General Fu only has 20,000 defenders, and the pressure can be imagined, and the Longyou army does not dare to move lightly, so everything can only wait for Wenxuan to come back and make a decision. ”

The battle situation of the street pavilion was tragic, and it was also expected by Liu Yin, the street pavilion was a stumbling block on Sima Wang's westward approach, and it was strange that Sima Wang did not work hard. The reason why Fu He was chosen as the guard of the street pavilion was because Fu He had a resolute character and the spirit of bloody battle, and among the generals of the Shu Army, only Fu He could afford this heavy responsibility.

Fu Yan really lived up to Liu Yin's expectations, and he didn't lose his street pavilion.

It's time to blow the horn of a counterattack! (To be continued.) )
