The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 97 The Battle of Ziwu Mountain

"The soldiers and horses of Zhang Jaw are going to Lü County to stop Cao Chun's army. The [-] soldiers and horses should be destroyed to destroy Liu Bei's morale." Cheng Yu immediately proposed to destroy the Zhang Jaw where the lone army had penetrated.

"Send the order, Xiahou Dun will immediately lead [-] troops to Ziwu Mountain to ambush!" Cao Cao immediately made a decision. Ziwu Mountain is the only place to pass from Yangdu City to Lu County, and it is very suitable for ambush.

With an army of 15, Cao Cao only sent 2 to ambush in Ziwu Mountain, while the other army waited outside the mountain. To deal with a mere [-] horses, Cao Cao was not qualified to dispatch all of Cao Cao's troops.

"General, there is Ziwu Mountain in front of you. After passing this mountain, it is only forty miles away from Lu County." Deputy General Wang Lin of Zhang Jai was familiar with the terrain of this area and temporarily acted as a guide for the army.

Wang Lin, with some martial arts skills, was one of the first batch of students of Linzi Military Academy, with excellent grades, worthy of training, so he was sent under Zhang Jai as a lieutenant general.

"Ziwu Mountain? What's the terrain like?" Zhang Jaw frowned, not to enter the forest, this is military common sense, Zhang Jaw, who was always cautious, immediately raised his spirits.

"The last general walked through it once three years ago. The high mountain is suitable for ambushes, but I think Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will definitely not ambush here." Wang Lin finished talking about the terrain, and then began to explain his point of view.

"First, Ziwu Mountain is very close to Lu County. If Cao Cao's army has arrived in Lu County, they should go to Lu County first instead of coming here to ambush. Now Lu County has not been occupied by Cao Cao's army."

"Secondly, there are many grasses and trees in Ziwu Mountain, and if the ambush is detected, the ambush will be completely wiped out if it is attacked with fire."

After Wang Lin finished speaking confidently, he looked at Zhang Jaw, as if he was waiting for Zhang Jaw's appreciation.

It's a pity that Zhang Jai frowned and thought, as if he didn't hear Wang Lin's words. While Wang Lin was very disappointed, he was also slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Jai. After all, Zhang Jai was about the same age as him, although Zhang Jai was better than him in martial arts , but he was the best student among the first batch of students of Linzi Military Academy, and he was received by Liu Bei.

"Keep going!"

In the end, Zhang Jaw let the general go forward. After all, his goal was to rush to Lu County to prevent Cao Cao from going south. If he bypassed Ziwu Mountain, there would be too little time.

"It's really a dangerous place!" Looking at Zi Wushan in front of him, he opened his jaw and sighed, and at the same time, a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"General, I would like to lead my troops to investigate." Seeing that Zhang Jai stopped the army, Wang Lin began to look down on Zhang Jai. He was too careful, how could there be an ambush here.

"You should be careful." Zhang Jaw had no other choice, the army had already arrived here, and he had no other choice.

Wang Lin led hundreds of soldiers into Ziwu Mountain.

"General, can you go up the mountain to investigate?"

Du Bo, who is familiar with the essentials of exploring the road, asked Wang Lin, who led the team.

"There is no need to waste time. There should be no ambush here. General Zhang is too cautious. I will go back and tell the army to go to Lu County quickly." Wang Lin said without hesitation, and then took people back to report.

"General, I've finished my investigation. There should be no ambushes here. You can pass!" Not long after, Wang Lin brought someone back to report to Zhang Jaw.

"Order! The army passes through this place quickly, without any stop!" Zhang Jai saw that Wang Lin had returned safely.

"General, this place is very quiet, there will be no ambushes, the general is too careless!" Wang Lin who entered Ziwu Mountain saw Zhang Jaw looking around nervously, Wang Lin said to Zhang Jaw lightly.

"Quiet? Quiet! Not good!"

Suddenly, Zhang Jaw seemed to think of something, and immediately yelled.

"Send the order! The rear of the army has changed to the front, and leave this place quickly!" Zhang Jai immediately ordered to withdraw from Ziwu Mountain.

"kill!!!"

"boom!!!"

"kill!!"

Just as Zhang Jai's army started to retreat, there were shouts of killing everywhere in the mountain, and feather arrows fell into Zhang Jaw's army.

"Don't panic, the shield soldiers defend left and right, the brigade retreats immediately!" Zhang Jai immediately reorganized the team and continued to retreat outside the mountain.

Chen Ziming's method of training troops had a sudden effect, and the strict military discipline allowed the army to quickly re-line up, and there was no confusion or individual escape.

Moreover, each of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses often held actual combat exercises, and for ambushes, they focused on taking care of the target. Therefore, after Zhang Jaw's soldiers and horses were hit by an ambush, they quickly realized that it was best to act against an ambush.

"General, I will lead the people to block the ambush, and the general will lead the army to retreat quickly!" Wang Lin saw that there was really an ambush here, and it was because of his carelessness that Zhang Jaw's army was ambushed. He was very depressed at first, and then he gritted his teeth. Think of a way to save it.

"No, there are so many ambush soldiers, there is no way out!" Why didn't Zhang Jai know that leaving a team to stop the ambush soldiers was the best way, but he also knew that it was impossible for the remaining people to get out alive.

"General, this defeat is all my fault. I should fight to the death to redeem it, and the army is not yet in ambush, so I can retreat completely. General, I am going!" Wang Lin finished speaking, before opening his jaw to agree. , turned around and led a group of soldiers to rush towards the ambushing soldiers who were chasing.

"withdraw!!!"

Zhang Jaw is helpless, the matter has come to this point, he can only retreat quickly, there are too many ambushes, if they stay, they can only be annihilated.

"kill!!"

"We shall repay the lord with death!"

The 500 soldiers led by Wang Lin set up a spear array to block the ambush soldiers rushing down the mountain. More than [-] soldiers knew that they would die, and none of them flinched. They gritted their teeth and stood shoulder to shoulder in three rows, with their spears forward Waiting for death to come.

"kill!"

"Chong!!"

"prick!"

Tens of thousands of ambush soldiers attacked the army formation composed of 500 people, but they did not break through once, and there were many casualties.

"Kill them all!"

Suddenly a general came out of the ambush, pointed his sword in his hand, and the surrounding army rushed towards the army formation led by Wang Lin.

"kill!"

The fierce bloody battle began, and the tight spear array stabbed to death an unknown number of Cao soldiers who were close.

"It's so strong, it should be a rare elite!" The army who led the ambush was Xiahou Dun, who was shocked to see that his soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties and could not wipe out the five hundred Liu Bei soldiers blocking him.

"Bow and arrow, shoot!"

Xiahou Dun was not an idiot who only knew about dashing, he was a very talented and handsome talent, and he immediately saw the weakness of Wang Lin's long spear array.

"Hold on!"

Seeing Cao Jun attacking with a bow and arrow, Wang Lin yelled, and leaned against the soldiers beside him.

"Chirp...!!!"

There is nothing to say, 500 people were all shot to death after a few rounds of salvo, but none of them escaped until they died, shoulder to shoulder with their comrades in arms.

"He's really a strong man, so give him a lavish burial!"

Looking at the more than 500 people who died shoulder to shoulder, Xiahou Dun suddenly felt a kind of respect. At the same time, he also began to have an indescribable feeling about the battle in Xuzhou. Liu Bei's soldiers are too strong. With these 500 people, Cao Cao will be in danger this time.

"withdraw!"

Xiahou Dun glanced at the direction where Zhang Jaw's soldiers and horses disappeared, and had no choice but to withdraw his troops. He knew that the ambush had failed.
