The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 Under the Battle of Qiuyanling
Battle of Autumn Goose Ridge

Under the valley; Cao's army marched slowly, and nearly ten thousand people had already entered, "Isn't the head of the village still ordering, we can't bear to let in too much?" Qin Shan asked anxiously
"Wait for the enemy to pass another 3000 people"

,,, "Send orders, drum up" Zhuge Qiao shouted
Immediately, the entire Qiuyan Ridge was beating loudly, and the murderous aura had covered the entire valley.Before the people in the valley showed up, thousands of arrows had already been shot, and the entrance of the valley was also rolling loudly, and the rolling stone immediately blocked the entrance of the valley.

Cao Jun in the valley heard the sound of drums and saw that the way out was blocked, but he still maintained his composure. There were only a few of them who might be recruits and ran towards the entrance of the valley.

"Qin Shan ordered to go down and shoot down all the arrows before you can charge down." Zhuge Qiao continued to observe the battle; seeing that Xu Huang's soldiers were not as chaotic as imagined, he already knew that the battle had been lost.

"The general is ambushed ahead, and more than [-] of our army are in the valley, please make a decision." A soldier ran to Xu Huang.

"Let me go and have a look." Xu Huang rode over decisively, and saw that the entrance of the valley was blocked by many stones, and the soldiers entered very slowly. Xu Huang got off his horse and rushed over with his personal guards, and climbed to the stone pile with difficulty. At the top, after observing the situation, he immediately said to the two lieutenants beside him, "You take 5000 people to climb the mountain from the right, and you must take 5000 people to climb the mountain from the left to be fast."

Afterwards, Xu Huang got off the stone pile and retreated to the rear; a general beside him asked puzzledly, "General, the enemy is ambushing in the valley. We don't know the number of opponents. We should retreat and find a way to defeat the enemy. At this time, the situation of the enemy and ourselves is unknown." How can you attack rashly?"

"It is precisely because I know the strength of the opponent that I sent two teams to attack around the mountain." Xu Huang's eyes shone brightly.

"How does the general know the number of troops on the other side?"

"Just now I went to investigate the position. Based on the number of arrows, I have judged that the opponent may have 6000 bows. If I am in an ambush in a valley like terrain, I will definitely bring more bows and arrows. The opponent naturally thinks the same way. So I dare to assert that Liu Feng has a maximum of [-] people ambushing here, and their delay in charging down also exposed their lack of troops."

"The general is wise, he really deserves to be one of the five good generals of the Great Wei Dynasty. I will admire him; the last general dares to be the vanguard and lead his troops to capture Liu Feng." The general asked for orders

"Okay, General Wu, you immediately lead your troops and horses, and command the front army to start attacking the mountain. You must attack the mountain as quickly as possible."

On the hillside of Qiuyanling, "The commander of the village is about to finish shooting his bows and arrows, so he can charge forward"; and at this moment, "General Lan, retreat quickly, we are defeated, and the outside can't stop it. More than [-], the periphery can withstand a period of time for the general to retreat quickly." After finishing speaking, Zhuge Qiao suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness, whether it was his own arrogance or Xu Huang's strategy, the careful layout of the situation made it easy for Xu Huang to break through. Zhuge Qiao was still not overwhelmed by the defeat." Order the troops on both sides and the ambush on the eastern hillside to retreat as quickly as possible. Chen Qi immediately led [-] soldiers from his headquarters to support Fu Qian and then withdrew from the battlefield; Liu Yu led your troops Come with me to support the soldiers on the periphery"

"Tun Chief, you go first, I will go to the rescue with Liu Yu." Qin Shan heard that Zhuge Qiao was about to go to the outskirts where the battle is fiercest now, and immediately stopped him.

"Tun Chief, we all came out with you, and we must not let you take this risk," Liu Yu also immediately persuaded.

"I've made up my mind, I can't leave my soldiers behind," Zhuge Qiao rushed to the front after saying that.Liu Yu and Qin Shan also followed to the outskirts of the hillside where the fighting was most intensive at this time.

At this time, the battle in the periphery was completely one-sided. The hillside on the left was more dangerous, so Zhuge Qiao only allocated 500 people to defend at that time. Slowly, there are 500 troops, and a lot of preparations have been made, so they can hold off for a while.

With the passage of time, this army has also reached the point of exhaustion, and is thinking that it will not be in vain to fight to the death on the battlefield;

At this moment, I suddenly saw a large number of troops rushing from behind; "Look, it's General Lan, General Lan is here to support us." When everyone on the battlefield saw Zhuge Qiao leading a troop to help, the morale of the troops rose sharply;
Just as Zhuge Qiao approached with his troops, Cao Jun thought it was a large army and retreated quickly. "You Shan, hurry up and withdraw with me, this time we are defeated." Zhuge Qiao approached a man who looked like a general.

"What's the matter with General Lan, did Xu Huang know that our army is short of troops? He couldn't possibly know." You Shan asked quickly; in fact, no matter what they thought, they would never know that Xu Huang judged by the number of arrows Yes, this may be the sixth sense after a long battle.

Taking advantage of the brief retreat of the enemy soldiers, Zhuge Qiao led the remaining [-] people on the periphery plus himself, and retreated frantically.

"General Lan, the front has been blocked by Cao Jun coming up from Taniguchi"

"Qin Shan, you must take the lead and rush out. Liu Yu and the generals protect the central army, and I will go to the rear army," Zhuge Qiao ordered decisively.

"I don't agree, general, you should protect the Chinese army and I'll kill the rear," a general who had just been rescued immediately objected.

"Li Jiang, you can't resist the order," Zhuge Qiao said angrily.
"It's not against the order. If it wasn't for the general, you would have come to rescue us in person. We might have all died in battle. Now our lives belong to the general, so let me use my life to kill the general." Hui ran back with his troops.

At this time, Zhuge Qiao's heart was full of emotions. Is this the embodiment of the loyalty of the ancients!If you give him kindness, he will repay it.Without hesitation, Qin Shan led the vanguard and Zhuge Qiaohu to break through the encirclement, and the soldiers ran all the way; "General, Cao Jun has already met our vanguard," a soldier came to report.

"Soldiers, as long as we can break through the Cao army in front, we can join the main force," Zhuge Qiao shouted.The soldiers may still be thinking that we ambushed Cao Jun a few hours ago, why the initiative has turned so fast now, and we were actually surrounded by counterattacks.

At this moment, Qin Shan led five hundred vanguards and rushed into the enemy's position; the enemy army here was only 3000 people. Originally, Qin Shan thought that with his own strength, he could break through the 3000-man formation; the reality is always so Qin Shan has already entered the inner circle of Cao Jun, but there are fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and he can't move anymore, because Cao Jun has organized the defense as quickly as possible, just as Qin Shan was trapped When he was at a loss here, Zhuge Qiao also just came to the vicinity of this battlefield, "Liu Yu, you go to support Qin Shan, I will go to the high ground to see if there are other Cao troops near here." After that, he led a few people Running to the high ground, Liu Yu naturally led the Chinese army to the battlefield.

As soon as Zhuge Qiao stood on the high ground, he was sweating non-stop; it turned out that another Cao army in the valley was about to rush to this battlefield, and the number of them was no less than five thousand. "As soon as this army arrives, we will I can't escape with wings." After saying that, Zhuge Qiao rushed to the battlefield immediately.

"Send an order to break out on the west front, break out on the west line"

The battlefield is getting more and more fierce, and Qin Shan's forwards have less than 200 people at this time, and there is no hope of breaking through. "Qin Duwei, the general ordered the army to break through on the western front";
"Understood, but do you think I can break out now?" Qin Shan shouted helplessly.

At this time, Zhuge Qiao had already joined Liu Yu, and the western front was relatively weak, and he should be able to break through in another stick of incense, but Qin Shan was delayed. "Liu Yu, you continue to lead the breakout here, and I will support Qin Shan," Zhuge Qiao also said anxiously.

Since Qin Shan was the first to enter the battlefield, he was already surrounded by Cao's army. If it weren't for Qin Shan's powerful force and proper command, he might have been surrounded to death. "Brothers hold on, General Lan will definitely not leave us, follow me Continue to break through," Qin Shan shouted in his hoarse voice.

"Qin Shan, you must persevere, you must not fall down before we start the Northern Expedition" Zhuge Qiao kept saying silently in his heart. "General Qin Duwei is just ahead." A soldier ran to report

"Fight hard, the soldiers meet on a narrow road and the brave wins." Zhuge Qiao took the lead and rushed into the encirclement of Cao Jun immediately.

"Look, soldiers, General Lan is here." The soldiers saw the hope brought by Zhuge Qiao, and their morale was raised to a higher level.
