Chapter 336 Everyone who knows is dead(1/2)

Wudang Feijun has not been established for a long time, so there is still room for growth.

Now they can use their specialties on the mountains and become a strong brigade, but they are not yet elite.

The Yin Department held a long knife in his hand and swung it wildly. In an instant, he opened a hole, and several heads of useless flying soldiers rolled down from his shoulders.

Meng Huo was furious and wielded his golden-backed machete to attack the Yin Department.

There was a "clang" sound and sparks flew everywhere.

The Yin Department had no horses, and its combat strength was reduced by half. Meng Huo, who was fighting on foot, seemed to feel that he was freer than on horseback.

At this time, Yin Shu was put under heavy pressure by Meng Huo, and suddenly he felt his left leg sink. It turned out that it had sunk into a depression in the mountain. Meng Huo took advantage of his body to shake, holding the knife in both hands, "Ah"

With a sound, he pressed down the sword.

Yin Shu couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down on one knee. The blade of the golden-backed machete scraped an inch-deep gash on his shoulder.

If I had chosen to run away, I should have been able to escape.

But as a soldier, you must have backbone.

If everyone chose to run away, there would be no need to fight this battle.

Yin Shu opened his long knife and stabbed Meng Huo forcefully, and then rolled away from Meng Huo.

At this time, his right shoulder was seriously injured and he couldn't use any strength, so he used his left hand to use the knife and struck Meng Huo.

Meng Huo blocked it easily, knocked his sword away, and then slashed it down with the force.

Yin Shu felt a chill on his neck, his eyes were spinning, and he was quickly swallowed up by darkness.

Of the three Shunyang guards, only Zhu Gai was left.

Zhu Gai has fought with Duosi for fifty rounds, and there is still no winner.

Zhu Rong couldn't stand it anymore and muttered: "Wait!"

After saying that, he pulled out a flying knife from his waist, and with a "swish" sound, it hit Zhu Gai's throat.

Without the commander-in-chief, Cao's soldiers almost lost any decent resistance. All they saw were swords flying, heads rolling, and the whole army defeated in an instant.

Li Qi took Shunyang and only took a short rest before heading towards his next destination, Danshui.

The original defender of Danshui was Yin Shu, and most of its defenders were taken to Shunyang by Yin Shu. Therefore, when Li Qi's army arrived at Danshui, they encountered almost no resistance and successfully captured the city.

Because Wuguan is still in the hands of Cao Jun, Li Qi has no way to know the movements of Chang'an's reinforcements. He can only speed up and try to reach Wuguan first than the opponent.

Because Wuguan is adjacent to Shaoxi Mountain in the north, it was called "Shaoxiguan" during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was changed to "Wuguan" during the Warring States Period.

The problem Li Qi now faces is that the terrain of Kansai is relatively flat, while Kanto winds along the mountainside, with high cliffs and deep valleys, making it narrow and difficult to navigate.

Pang Tong reminded Li Qidao: "We are not far from Wuguan now. The mountain roads here are rugged and difficult to travel. Only two people can pass by side by side. The formation of the troops is very long, and it is extremely difficult to see each other from head to tail. If the enemy is nearby,

There is an ambush, and the number of dangerous systems may be very high."

Li Qi reined in his horse and considered it carefully.

Although we have passed through cities such as Rangxian, Shunyang, and Danshui before, the enemy has adopted a defensive strategy. If they suddenly ambush here, it is really easy for people to be careless.

Zhao Yundao: "It's better to let someone open the way ahead."

Pang Tong said: "Although General Zilong is very skilled in martial arts, if the enemy fires arrows or rolls rocks from the cliff, it will be difficult to resist no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, let alone the soldiers under General Zilong?"

Li Qi raised his head and looked to both sides. Wherever he looked, there were steep cliffs and lush shrubs.

Li Qidao: "It is quite appropriate to set up a certain number of archers here as an ambush, but there is no broad platform for them to pile huge rocks."

Meng Huo said: "This kind of terrain is of course an opportunity for our flying army to show off. I can arrange a formation to specialize in ambushes."

"Oh?" Li Qi asked Meng Huo to try to arrange it.

Meng Huo's method was that since this road could only accommodate two people lining up at the same time, he would adopt a formation of two one two, two one two...

There are two soldiers in the front row holding shields, followed by a soldier holding a repeating crossbow, and behind them are two more soldiers holding shields.

There are five people in groups, and each group lines up in turn.

If there is an ambush shooting arrows from above, the four shield bearers at the front and rear will form a formation to resist, while the crossbowmen will look for openings to counterattack.

Although in this formation, the array of repeating crossbowmen is relatively sparse, the repeating crossbow can fire ten crossbows in a row, and its efficiency is far beyond what ordinary bows and crossbowmen can match. Moreover, these repeating crossbowmen were carefully selected by Zhuge Liang

The accuracy of the "flying warriors" (whoever shoots will hit, and who will die if they hit, gather together as one) is quite high.

Li Qi then ordered Meng Huo to place Zhu Rong in the front, Wu Tu Gu, and Duosi in the rear, so that Wudang Fei's army would go first and he would lead his army behind.

Sure enough, when approaching Wuguan, the Wudang Feijun in the front encountered an enemy ambush.

When the first screaming sound came from the sky, Meng Huo shouted: "The enemy is attacking!"

The Wudang Feijun quickly stopped. The soldiers stood back to back, raised their shields, and even fired crossbows at the bushes on both sides.

All of a sudden, the sound of crossbows was heard endlessly, and corpses continued to roll down from the hillsides on both sides. Wudang Feijun also suffered casualties from its crossbowmen.

Since they were in a group of five and one person was killed, the second person picked up the repeating crossbow, and the remaining three served as cover and continued to fire the repeating crossbow into the bushes.

They did not shoot aimlessly, but hit the target with one blow.

Meng Huo thought, although the cliffs on both sides are steep, but the enemy army can climb up, it is impossible for his useless flying army to not be able to climb up.

Zhu Rong held a shield in one hand and a long standard in the other, and led a team of flying troops to rush out of the rain of arrows. Within a mile, he found that the mountain gradually leveled off and the cliff slowly turned into a slope.

Zhu Rong said: "It seems that those ambushes came up from here!"

So, Zhu Rong divided the team into two teams and attacked the slopes on both sides respectively.

The person responsible for this ambush was Cao General Deng Zhan, a native of Nanyang who had studied martial arts and was good at various weapons.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When he saw Zhu Rong approaching with a long standard, he sneered: "Li Qi has no one under his command, so he actually sent a woman to the vanguard."

Zhu Rong said: "Don't you know the female general of Nanzhong?"

Deng Zhan said: "This is unheard of."

Zhu Rong said: "That's right. Because everyone who knows is dead."

Deng Zhan was furious and raised his sword to attack Zhu Rong.

The two men sparred back and forth on the overgrown soil slope, and the soldiers on both sides quickly entered the battle.

At this time, Meng Huo clearly felt that the bows and arrows on both sides were becoming sparse, and the killing cries became more prominent.

Meng Huo knew that Zhu Rong had found his way up the mountain and was fighting with the enemy's ambush. He didn't need to think about it at the moment and rushed forward.

After fighting Zhu Rong for dozens of rounds, Deng Zhan knew that his strength was not outstanding, but he did not give in too much and did not see any disadvantage. However, the soldiers could not resist the barbarians, and the situation was not favorable to him.

Deng Zhan made a feint with his sword and ran away.

Originally thinking that Zhu Rong was catching up, Deng Zhan also looked back from time to time.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Rongchu stayed where he was and seemed to have no intention of pursuing him.

Deng Zhan thought to himself, if you don't chase me, I will run away!

Just when I was thinking this, I heard a "whoosh" sound behind me. When I turned around to look, it turned out that a flying knife had suddenly arrived.

"Damn old lady, don't...do not practice martial ethics!"

Not far away, soldiers reported to Li Qi: "The ambush of Cao's army has been annihilated, and the enemy general Deng Zhan has been killed. Please feel free to move forward, my lord."

Li Qi praised: "If Chang'an is captured, Wudang Feijun should be the first to do so!"

Xian Yufu, the general in charge of garrisoning Wuguan of Cao's army, heard that Li Qi's army had set up camp thirty miles outside the pass. He couldn't help being shocked: This must have come too soon.

It came quickly, indicating that Li Qi had gathered superior forces and focused on attacking Wuguan. Previously, Cao Jun mistakenly thought that Li Qi's main attack direction was Chencang Fortress, so he concentrated the main force on Xiwu. Now he only has a partial division of his own.

, how to resist Li Qi's attack?

This Xian Yufu was originally a member of Liu Yu. After Liu Yu was destroyed by Gongsun Zan, Xianyufu joined forces with Liu He, King Wuhuan Qiao, and Qu Yi to defeat Gongsun Zan. After Gongsun Zan was defeated, Xianyufu had two choices. One was

One is to seek refuge with the powerful Yuan Shao, and the other is to seek refuge with the seemingly less powerful Cao Cao. In the end, he and Tian Yu agreed that "the one who can ultimately rule the world must be the Cao family", so they abandoned Yuan Shao and joined Cao Cao.

Therefore, Xian Yufu not only had certain fighting ability, but he was also very kind to Cao Cao.

The only solution now is to surrender. It is impossible to surrender. It is impossible to surrender in this life. We can only stand firm and wait for help.

Li Qi sent Zhao Yun and his troops to scold Wuguan, but Xian Yufu could not come out of the seclusion.

Zhao Yun reported back to Li Qi, and Li Qi said: "This is expected. Does Zilong have any other ideas when he comes to Wuguan City this time? Is it okay to pile up mountains of earth like he did in Shunyang?"

Zhao Yundao said: "The terrain in front of Wuguan Gate is narrow, and the soil is too hard, so it is difficult to collect soil. If you build a mountain of earth, the efficiency will be very low, and with Wuguan's defense measures, the risk of building a mountain of earth is also very high. It is better to take advantage of it.

Before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we forcefully attack the key points."

Li Qi followed this and personally led the army to attack Wuguan City with well railings.

Xian Yufu had already anticipated various possibilities. When he saw the enemy pushing up the well fence, he erected numerous large-area stone slabs on the city wall to resist the arrows shot from the well fence.

Li Qi and Pang Tong watched the battle for a long time and thought that the well fence would not help, so they ordered to withdraw their troops and make plans again.

Pang Tong said: "Sieging a city is nothing more than ladders, well rails, catapults and rams. Now the well rails are ineffective, and the catapults can't move in this narrow passage. We can only use rams to hit the door hard. However, this will not be good for our army.

The loss of soldiers must have been considerable."

Zhao Yundao said: "If we don't make a decision now, I'm afraid the losses will be even greater when Cao Jun's reinforcements arrive."
