Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

"Kill——Swish swish swish swish!"

With the sound of the drums of war, Cao Xiu led three thousand Qin Bow Camp soldiers and two thousand infantrymen into the valley and rushed straight to the gate of the enemy camp.

The enemy troops guarding the camp were already prepared. When the Xiliang army rushed into the front gate, they all shot arrows, and rocks rolled on the hillsides on both sides of the valley fell down.

In an instant, five thousand Xiliang soldiers were still a hundred steps away from the gate and were hit by a blow. The waves of arrows rushed towards him like locusts, and the rocks and rolling wood fell into the air like hail. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of soldiers fell down instantly, causing the attack of the Xiliang army to stop abruptly, and they involuntarily retreated backwards and hurriedly retreated out of the valley.

Huang Zhong, who was personally commanding the attack on the camp, did not give up. He immediately divided the three thousand Qin Bow Camp soldiers into two, climbed along the stone walls behind the hillsides on both sides, tried to seize the hilltops on both sides, and then attacked the enemy camps. At the same time, he personally led 3,000 infantrymen to continue attacking head-on, while Cao Xing led 3,000 archers to follow up, suppressing the enemy's arrows with dense rainy crossbows and covering the infantry to attack the gate.

The effect of the two attacks was obviously much better than before. The Hanzhong soldiers on the hills on both sides did not find that the Xiliang army was touching the mountain at first, and their attention was still focused on the Xiliang army attacking the front of the mountain. Thousands of rock-beating rolling wood were piled up on the cliff, ready to go. However, Huang Zhong's army, who was attacking the camp at the front of the mountain, also learned to be smart this time. Giant shield soldiers were in front, and soldiers near the hillsides on both sides also held giant shields, distanced from each other and advanced slowly. In this way, the defense methods on the Hanzhong army camp were much worse than before, and the rock-beating rolling wood on the hillsides on both sides were no longer as powerful as before.

As one goes up and down, the casualties of the soldiers in Xiliang in the valley dropped sharply and gradually approached the gate. The defenders on the gate tower were no longer clamoring as before, and they were all facing a great enemy, including timid and timid people who were trembling all over, and were so scared that they almost pissed their pants.

Obviously, these Hanzhong soldiers guarding the camp were okay to fight with the wind, with arrows firing at once and rocks rolling wood. They were all experts, and they were all very brave. However, when they really wanted to fight with the Western Liang army face to face, they were afraid of the Western Liang army. After all, the Western Liang army has experienced many battles and is powerful in the world. It is recognized by the world's number one strong soldier.

In comparison, the Hanzhong soldiers have not fought a real tough battle so far. Since Zhang Lu's soldiers seized Hanzhong without bloodshed, they have been fighting in small matters and have never experienced large-scale wars. They have been tense with Liu Zhang in Yizhou several times, but they have not started fighting. After a confrontation, they have stopped their troops. Therefore, if they have to occupy a favorable terrain and are defending the enemy, Zhang Wei's army may be able to deal with it, but if they really want to fight head-on with the Western Liang army, the Hanzhong soldiers are really unsure and are very afraid of the Western Liang army.

Therefore, seeing the Xiliang soldiers approaching the gate step by step, Zhang Wei, who was standing on the city tower, was shouting loudly: "Hurry, hurry, shoot arrows. Take arrows, don't let the Xiliang army approach the gate, shoot them to death! Take arrows——"

At this moment, a "swish" sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded on the hilltops on both sides. Three thousand Qin Bow Camp soldiers climbed up the hillside from the east and west, and launched an attack on the defenders on the hilltops almost at the same time. The Qin Bow Camp soldiers were all skilled archers, who could ride and shoot and shoot, and they could also fight in mountain rock climbing. Archery was their master's skill. Therefore, when they touched the Hanzhong soldiers who were approaching the mountain guarding the hillside, they immediately took out the long bow feather arrow. More than a thousand people shot arrows together, and hundreds of defenders were shot under one round of arrows, and then they fell from the cliff and smashed into the valley.

However, this kind of sneak attack behind the back caught the defenders off guard at most, but it was not enough to shoot all the defenders on the mountain. You should know that Zhang Wei arranged 6,000 defenders on the tops of the mountain, and 3,000 people on the other side, which was enough to defend the mountain and ensure the safety of the camps at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, when the Xiliang army climbed up the rock climb suddenly shot arrows from behind, after only two rounds of arrows, more than a thousand defenders waved their spears and rushed down, and started a close-up battle with the Xiliang soldiers.

"Clang clang clang——Kill!"

The defenders who rushed down from the top of the mountain had a advantage in geographical advantages, and their impact speed was very rapid, which invisibly helped increase their chopping power and added some courage. At first, the more than a thousand Hanzhong soldiers fought with the soldiers of the Qin Bow Camp, and each other was killed and injured. It was this moment of stalemate that caused the Western Liang army to completely lose the initiative. More and more defenders rushed over and formed a siege and attack against the Western Liang army. With two enemies, one or even three enemies, three enemies, they fought so that the Western Liang soldiers who were halfway up the mountain retreated step by step. Many people fell and slipped and rolled down the mountainside.

At the same time, the fighting skills of these siege guards were very clumsy, but they were defeated by their bravery, almost crazy, and fearlessness. After being injured by the Xiliang soldiers, many people did not retreat at all, but instead rushed over, hugged the Xiliang soldiers and fell off the cliff together, and died together. Faced with these almost crazy defenders, more than a thousand Qin Gong Battalion soldiers who attacked the top of the mountain were inexplicably frightened and could not help but retreat down the mountain. But even so, these defenders chased after them, as if they would not stop until they drove the Xiliang soldiers down the hillside. This scared the Qin Gong Battalion soldiers and had to roll and climb down the mountain in a hurry, hoping to get away from these "crazy men" who were fearless as soon as possible.

This is not because the soldiers of the Qin Bow Camp are timid and timid in fighting, nor because they are not brave enough, but because these defenders are not normal people at all, but are all a group of complete madmen. These people fight with them completely desperately. As long as they are not cut off their heads and hands and feet and have not fallen down, they will rush over without any hesitation, and they will be forced to get a knife, and they will also hug the Xiliang soldiers and jump off the cliff and die together. This is the first time that the soldiers of the Qin Bow Camp have encountered such a fierce enemy. Therefore, the Xiliang soldiers, who are known for their bravery and good fighting, also have to retreat when they retreat, and retreat in an extremely embarrassing manner.

This is not because the Xiliang soldiers on the western hilltop were so embarrassed, and the battle on the top of the eastern hilltop was also extremely fierce. So, after suffering half of the casualties, the 1,500 Qin Gong Camp soldiers on the eastern hilltop were also defeated and retreated in a hurry.

At this time, Huang Zhong led 3,000 infantry troops to attack Yuanmen head-on. At first, the attack was very smooth, and hundreds of soldiers climbed the city tower, and the situation was very good. If this situation was allowed to continue to develop, within half an hour, Huang Zhong could lead his army to break through Yuanmen. However, just as Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, a group of rash men wearing armor and holding short-handled swords suddenly emerged on the city tower, fighting fiercely, and only advanced but not retreated. From the east to the west of the city tower, he forced the more than 100 Xiliang soldiers who climbed the city tower to jump off the city tower. Only more than ten people survived, and all the others were killed by random knives.

Since then, these extremely brave and reckless men have guarded the city tower, resulting in the Xiliang soldiers never being able to climb up the city tower again, and they have no chance to climb up.

"Lord, these savages who are not afraid of death are the Five Dogs of Rice Cult under Zhang Lu. There are not many disciples like this, and they will definitely not exceed 20,000. They claim to be the escort guards of the Five Dogs of Rice Cult. These people are all devout believers of the Five Dogs of Rice Cult, and they are no longer normal people. Rather than saying that they are the escort guards, they are the dead soldiers trained by the Five Dogs of Rice Cult. Therefore, these people have extremely strong combat power, are not afraid of swords, and are not afraid of life and death, and regard death as the supreme glory of the escort."

In front of the Xiliang army three hundred steps away from the valley, Fa Zheng whispered to Li Li about the origins of these armored warriors.

"Before this, I heard that the Wudou Rice Sect had a group of extremely strong escort guards, but they just regarded it as rumors, but actually they didn't believe it. Until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, I heard that Zhang Jiao had a group of fearless Yellow Turban strong men under his command, with extremely strong combat power, and a few of them could make a hundred. After that, I suspected that the Wudou Rice Sect's escort guards should be real. I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes today, and there were a large number of people, perhaps more than twice as many as the Yellow Turban strong men trained by Zhang Jiao."

Listening to Fa Zheng's story in his ear, Li Li narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the battle in front of the gate and on the hillsides on both sides, silent. After seeing the soldiers on the hillsides on both sides retreat in a panic, he gently lifted the reins to drive the King of Jin's Beasts to turn around, and snorted coldly: "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and end the feint attack!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Li drove the Golden Beast King to run and returned straight to Chencang City.

After Fa Zheng was slightly stunned, he immediately waved his hand to signal the soldiers to sing the gold, leaving Ma Dai to wait for Huang Zhong's army here, and then followed Li Li to take the horse and leave.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding???????"

————————————

News of Li Li leading troops to fight against Zhang Lu in the west spread wildly, and it spread throughout the Central Plains within a few days.

After the news was confirmed, the Central Plains states, which were originally relatively calm, quickly boiled. This so-called boiling was not a cheer, but a move from all walks of life, mobilizing troops and accelerating their respective expansions.

The first person to get the news was Cao Cao, who was entrenched in Henan County. When he got the exact news, he immediately rushed to attack Chenliu, which caught Lu Bu off guard; and Chenliu was still in the hands of Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao at this time, so that Lu Bu was out of reach and was powerless.

As a result, Zhang Chao surrendered without fighting and took the initiative to open the city to welcome Cao Cao's army into Chenliu City, causing Lu Bu to completely lose the opportunity, which was tantamount to handing over the huge Chenliu to Cao Cao. As a result, in order to compete for the ownership of Yanzhou, a full-scale war between Cao Cao and Lu Bu started.

The battle in Yanzhou began almost at the same time as the battle of Chencang, but the fierce and large scale of the battle was far ahead of the battle of Chencang. Cao Cao led 50,000 troops from Chenliu to attack Dongjun, while the remnants of Cao's army curled up in Dong'a City, under the planning of Xun Yu, Cao Chun led more than 30,000 troops and horses to go out in full swing, attacking from east to north, forming a front-back attack with Cao Cao's army.
