    The calm was broken in the morning four days later.

    "Enemy, enemy found!" In the smoke and dust along the way, several scouts rode their horses and shouted at the top of their lungs, for fear that the general would not hear their warning.

    "Sure enough, there are soldiers blocking the road? Look at my bad mouth, how can I be good but not effective!" Tai Shici's eyes widened, and veins appeared on Zhao Yun's hand holding the rotten silver gun.

    "This is bad!" Fang Yue and Qin Feng, two old men, were also shouting anxiously. While shouting, they secretly observed Wang Yu's face.

    "What should I do?" Zhuge Liang also lost his usual composure and turned his slightly panicked gaze to Wang Yu.

    Ma Yunluan was the only one who didn't know why, so he quietly started talking to Lu Qiling: "Sister Ling, what's wrong with everyone? Didn't you already expect that you might encounter an enemy? Why are you so panicked all of a sudden?"

    Lu Qiling¡¯s expression was unusually solemn, and the tone of her answer was no longer as relaxed as before: ¡°It¡¯s okay to meet the enemy, but it¡¯s troublesome to meet the enemy here¡±

    Baixing is also known as Mengmen. It is unclear when it originated. It can only be seen from recorded historical records that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, it was already a choke point connecting Shanxi and Henan.

    Broadly speaking, Bai Xuan starts from Bai Lufeng in Hanoi¡¯s Cong District and ends in Changping of Shangdang.  But in fact, the accurate concept of this mountain pass is the ancient road known as the Seventy-two Turns through the Taihang Mountains!

    The ancient road itself is a miracle.  The cliff is as straight as ten thousand feet. Li Taibai's sentence about the difficulty of the road to Shu can also be used here: the yellow crane cannot fly over, and the ape climbs to overcome its sorrow.

    "Military strategists often say that one man is on the road, and no one can defeat it. This is a place like this. During the Youzhou War, General Wen Ze relied on the steepness of Feihu Road to force the Xianbei people to death in Ma Ti Liang.  .Although Feihu Road is dangerous, it is much worse than Baixing."

    "That's it." Ma Yunluo suddenly realized that he had gained experience. He sighed and said with some annoyance: "If I had known this, we wouldn't have walked here. Didn't we say that there is still Taihang Road that we can walk on?"

    "It's worse there!" Lu Qiling shook her head, with a strong sense of helplessness in her voice: "Taihang Road is not as steep as Baixing Road, but it has a magnificent pass. It is the Tianjing Pass that is famous all over the world for its beauty and danger. Besides Tianjing Pass, it is the most dangerous pass in Taihang!  Besides, there are numerous passes of various sizes along the way, so if Cao Cao makes preparations in advance, we will have no choice but to attack them all the way."

    Ma Yunluo looked at the valley in the distance, and then imagined the majestic passes standing beside the mountains and valleys. He suddenly shuddered, stuck out his tongue, and said with a grimace: "In comparison, it seems that here is really better, but  , it¡¯s still difficult to walk, it would be nice if we could take a detour.¡±

    The conversation between the two girls had no impact. Needless to say, Wang Yu said, the generals also knew that the matter had reached this point and they could only move forward rather than retreat.  Orders were issued one after another to re-adjust the formation, and the scattered marching columns were changed into battle formation.  Light cavalry were sent out on the left and right wings to guard against other enemies lurking outside the valley.

    By the time the army advanced to the vicinity of the valley entrance, several core generals had almost exchanged opinions.

    Cao Cao sent troops to occupy the valley in advance, obviously aiming to block the main cavalry reinforcement route.

    Leaving aside the twists and turns, the Baixing Valley is a narrow terrain with two cliffs sandwiching a river. The only thing that can allow the army to pass through is a beach less than five feet wide on one side of the river.  At present, the enemy has set up strongholds at the bottom of the valley to block the road. We have no choice but to attack and seize the valley by force.

    "Kong Ming will lead the men to camp on the spot, and the civilians will stay behind. The rest of the soldiers will follow me and line up five hundred steps away from the enemy. Let's attack first!" Wang Yu had no intention of giving unnecessary orders. We met on a narrow road and there was not much we could do.  .

    Under his order, the cavalry formation automatically divided into two parts, the front and rear.  Zhuge Liang, the remnant army, commanded some people to stay where they were, cutting down trees and building camps.  Before testing out the enemy's strength and weakness, we must make the worst-case scenario of being unable to conquer the enemy in the short term, so that the soldiers can have a sheltered place to rest.

    The remaining more than 7,000 soldiers marched in formation, slowly approaching the Death Valley.

    The enemy troops who occupied the valley obviously came in a hurry, and the hastily built Luzhai and Juma had not yet been completed.  The rickety wooden fence was exposed to the summer sun, and the strong smell of pine oil spread along the wind for miles.

    When the camp appeared within Wang Yu's sight, Cao Jun, who was hiding behind the fence, also noticed the approach of the Qingzhou Army, and immediately blew the warning horn and prepared for battle.

    "There was no cordon outside the valley, but half of the camp was erected. It can be seen that on the one hand, this enemy force came in a hurry, and on the other hand, it was not prepared to encounter our army"

    Wang Yu observed the enemy while making corresponding analysis, and quickly made a decision: "Ziyi, you lead two people??Be the first to test the enemy's combat effectiveness. Don't rush to make meritorious deeds!  "

    If he encounters the enemy on flatter terrain, he doesn't need to think too much, he just rides over and tramples the half-built camp to pieces in the blink of an eye.

    But the terrain here is too steep and the cavalry cannot run at all.  Not only that, they couldn't even deploy their troops.  If the enemy's camp had not been extended from the mouth of the valley, it might have been difficult for even two troops and eight hundred men to deploy.

    "Here!" Taishi Ci accepted the errand without hesitation.

    He is straightforward by nature, and occasionally uses his brain just to be more straightforward.  Wang Yu asked him to take the lead, which was exactly what he wanted.

    He selected one man each from the Wind and Fire Cavalry, with the iron cavalry in front as the heavy infantry, and the light cavalry in the back as the crossbowmen and spearmen.  The crowd held up their shields, hunched their bodies, and moved toward the valley little by little.

    Two hundred steps away, sporadic feather arrows were shot out from Cao Jun's camp.  At such a long distance, the feather arrows did not pose a fatal threat at all.  Seeing this scene, Taishi Ci made a corresponding judgment and believed that this enemy army should not be elite. Maybe Cao Cao didn't take the road closure too seriously.

    The officers and soldiers of the Qingzhou Army may not have the vision of a general, but these elites with blood-licking swords are still very sensitive to the rise and fall of momentum, and they can immediately see through the enemy's state of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.  Taishi Ci gave an order, and everyone straightened up. The soldiers at the forefront took off their visors and began to shout provocatively.

    "Where did you come from? You don't have the courage to stand in front of grandpa, but you come out to block the way! Don't you know that a good dog doesn't block the way? You don't even understand how to treat it as a dog, but you still have the nerve to stand out!"

    "Stop shrinking your neck, I'm talking about you!"

    The light infantry at the back were not idle either. Seeing that they were within shooting range, the four hundred elites all raised their strong bows and rained down waves of arrows on the enemy's heads.

    On the Qingzhou Army¡¯s side, heavily armored soldiers were clearing the way and were protected by shields. Cao¡¯s army¡¯s bows and arrows simply couldn¡¯t hit them.  However, the elites of the Gale Army, who were excellent in archery, could aim and shoot with ease. After several rounds of fighting, Cao's army suffered a big loss because they had a camp to rely on.

    The screams in the camp were endless, and only a few wounded people from the Qingzhou Army retreated.  These people all walked back by themselves, which shows that their injuries were very minor.

    I don¡¯t know whether he was provoked by the provocation or had a corresponding arrangement. Cao Jun¡¯s counterattack was very decisive.  When the Qingzhou Army approached within fifty steps, several groups of heavy armored infantry rushed out from the inside of the fence.

    However, heavy armor is different from heavy armor, and there are also very obvious differences between soldiers and soldiers.

    The heavy armor of Cao Jun on this road was just leather armor covered with cotton armor, and some paper armor, which was heavy and heavy, but the improvement in protective power was quite limited.  The heavy infantry guest in the Fire Cavalry is in full-body plate armor. Once the visor is put down, you can't even see the face. It's completely like a steel monster.

    Not to mention soldiers, just look at the equipment.

    The economic strength of Cao Jun is much worse than that of Qingzhou, but the proportion of investment in armaments is much higher. As long as he can squeeze out all the resources, he invested them in the army.  If it were an elite Cao army, it would be impossible for them not to be able to defeat even a group of heavily armored soldiers in full iron armor.

    The Fire Cavalry, also known as the Guards Cavalry, are the imperial guards around Wang Yu.  In the huge Qingzhou, only 3,000 people were selected in total, so one can imagine how elite they are.  Although they are better at cavalry combat, it is unlikely that they would have much difficulty dealing with a group of miscellaneous soldiers who cannot even be called elites.

    As soon as the two sides fought, Cao's army, which launched a counterattack with great momentum, retreated much more swiftly than when they attacked. More than 80 corpses were thrown in front of the formation. When they retreated hastily, nearly a hundred people were killed behind them.  The incoming feather arrows were shot into wounds.

    How quickly will the results be revealed?  One or two things can be inferred from Taishi Ci's record.

    This time, Taishi Ci took the lead as always, and his martial arts was also known for his speed.  Although it was inconvenient to hold a long weapon in each hand due to foot combat, his crescent halberd was still as fast as lightning.

    However, even Taishi Ci only killed two and a half enemies.  The third person saw the two companions in front of him fall down, turned around and wanted to run away, but he had already entered Taishi Ci's attack range and could not escape before he saw it.  As a result, when the cold light approached his body, the man's feet staggered and he fainted from the shock.

    Taishi Ci didn't expect that this was a rare moment when his halberd missed the target. After realizing what happened, he became furious and said, "What a bunch of trash, grandma, they actually scared me! Brothers, follow me."  I will chase and kill these cowards!"

    "Kill!" The eight hundred warriors fought off the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables, and the eight hundred warriors shouted in unison with a powerful momentum.Chased him.

    Cao Jun resisted for a while behind the fence. Although there was an extra fortification, the result was not much different.  The weak resistance could not stop the wolf-like Qingzhou Army. After only two encounters, the line of defense collapsed.  The defeated soldiers threw down Paoze's body, wailed loudly, and fled deep into the valley.

    Taniguchi changed hands in an instant. Thinking back to the mood when I first heard the news from the enemy, these three moments felt like a dream.  All the generals looked at each other, and even Taishi Ci hesitated and stopped.

    It¡¯s a good thing that the enemy is useless, but if the enemy is useless to this extent, isn¡¯t it too exaggerated?  Isn't it a bait to lure the enemy?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
