Chapter 209 Died
The moon is dark and the wind is high, why don't you take the opportunity to make these two things?
Yang Zheng looked up at the sky, and there was a bright moon hanging in the night sky.

This kind of thing is really low-level, and my subordinates are also watching.

The sequelae are not small.

"Xu Zhi, the Guardian of Zhengshu, is here!" Xu Zhi roared again, his voice echoed back and forth between the cliffs, startling a few night owls, which rushed into the sky.

There is more than fifty steps apart, is it necessary to be so loud?
I'm afraid that others don't know him as a big man.

"Yang Zheng is here to welcome you two." Yang Zheng's voice was not loud.

As soon as the words fell, there were figures on the cliffs on both sides. Immediately afterwards, countless stones the size of human heads were thrown down.

Like raindrops.

They went straight to Xu Zhi and they fell.

Yang Zheng was taken aback, did Jiang Wei save a hand?
A scream rang out.

Hu Lie's troops were trapped by the general for a day, and they were already exhausted. Most of them were injured, and they didn't even have the strength to dodge.

Xu Zhi was not far behind.

But this guy's bravery was astonishing, he slashed wildly with a ring-headed knife, and rushed out of the falling rocks.

A Wei Jun was crushed to death right in front of Yang Zheng, blood and flesh were swept away, screaming again and again...

Fortunately, there were not many people left behind by Jiang Wei, and the effort of half a stick of incense stopped.

Yang Zheng and Xu Zhi's big eyes met small eyes, if this guy hadn't yelled twice, maybe they wouldn't have attracted the ambushes of the Shu army.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and save someone." Yang Zheng was furious.

Feeling a little conflicted.

I don't know if Hu Lie is dead or alive.

Liu Heng and Meng Guan led the people forward cautiously, groping for a while.

Many were killed, but many survived.

Not long after, Liu Heng walked up to Yang Zheng with a dead body, "Dead."

"Who died?"

"Hu Lie." Liu Heng threw the body in front of Yang Zheng and Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi's eyes widened, he looked at the unrecognizable corpse on the ground, and then at Yang Zheng.

Half of Hu Lie's face was smashed, his bones were so dense that he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was wearing the bright light armor unique to senior generals of the Wei Army, reminding the identity of the owner of the corpse at all times.

"It's over, how can I explain this to Governor Guo?" Xu Zhi sat down on the ground.

"General Hu..."

Those surviving Hu family members wept bitterly behind.

"Stop howling! It's another stone to attract ambushes!" Yang Zheng scolded, but he was thinking in his heart, Guo Huai won't blame himself again this time, right?
He winked at Meng Guan and Meng Yu who were beside him, telling them to be on guard.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Helping the wounded soldiers out of the canyon, Guo Huai's men and horses waited at the foot of the ridge.

And Deng Ai's men occupied Yang Zheng's camp.

Hu Lie's body was carried to the front.

"Captain..." Xu Zhi knelt in front of Guo Huai and broke down in tears.

Guo Huai's face turned dark on the spot, and his sharp eyes stabbed at Yang Zheng first, "How did Prefect Hu die for the country?"

Xu Zhi was a straight-hearted person, he told all the things that happened in Lingzhong without embellishing them, and he didn't put blame on others.

After Guo Huai listened, he went to ask several generals.

Turning around, scabbard scabbard whipped Xu Zhi's back.

pop, pop, pop...

The whipping sound is particularly crisp.

Xu Zhi didn't say a word, his body was straight.

"He is wearing armor, so of course it doesn't hurt." Liu Heng whispered.

His voice was not much different from Xu Zhi's.

In the middle of the night, it was already quiet.

The voice spread out without hindrance, and Guo Huai and Xu Zhi looked back at the same time.

Liu Heng hid behind Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

But looking at Guo Huai's angry appearance, Yang Zheng felt inexplicably refreshed.

Everyone else is looking at me, so I can't poke it in vain, because I don't look good on face.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Commander, Jiang Wei's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain must be Mount Qu. For the current plan, we should rush to help the two cities of Mount Qu."

A trace of tiredness and oldness climbed up Guo Huai's face in an instant, occupied his eyes, and disappeared in an instant.

But some things can never be hidden.

Compared with Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, and Chen Tai, Guo Huai is indeed old.

His time will also come to an end.

Once a person is old and tired, he will be powerless.

Guo Huai threw the knife on the ground angrily, took a deep look at Yang Zheng, and returned to the camp without saying a word.

Just leave Yang Zheng and Xu Zhi aside.

Yang Zheng was used to it, so he asked his subordinates to make do with it and rest.

Xu Zhi ran to the camp again to plead guilty.

No one cares about the wounded soldiers in one place.

Guo Huai and Deng Ai raised troops overnight and headed towards Qushan.

At dawn, hundreds of seriously injured people died in the morning light.

The wild wolf and mountain leopard showed greedy eyes in the forest.

Yang Zheng distributed some water and dry food to the wounded soldiers, and then marched westward.

Guo Huai didn't want to see him, so he shouldn't move forward.

Or go to Chen Tai, the immediate leader.

On the southwest mountains, all the movements of the Wei army were reported to Jiang Wei.

"Chen Tai attacked Niutoushan, Guo Huai and Deng Ai besieged the two cities of Qushan, and Wang Jinhu was defeated. Our army is too small. It is useless to stay here. It is better to lead the army back." Dong Jue reminded.

Behind Niutoushan is Tazhong.

Jiang Wei stationed troops here many times and made friends with Qiang people in Longxi.

However, with the current strength of the Shu army, the predicament of the second city of Qushan was basically resolved.

Originally, Jiang Wei called Liao Hua, the prefect of Yinping, to besiege Qushan together.

However, Liao Hua sent an urgent report that General Sima Zhao of Wei Anxi captured the Great Wall, assembled an army of [-], and went south to Luogu, intending to take Hanzhong directly.

The governor of Hanzhong, Wang Ping, died of illness last year, and the new governor, Hu Ji, took office less than half a year ago.

"Sima Zhao must be a suspicious soldier." Jiang Wei did not want to give up the second city of Qushan.

It's just that the situation has become more and more unfavorable to the Shu army.

"Although they are suspicious soldiers, if Niutoushan is captured by Chen Tai, our army's movement will be greatly restricted. If we fight again, it will be a tough and deadly battle! Chen Tai and Guo Huai are not easy to mess with. I didn't expect Deng Ai to have such a strategy , There are so many people in the Northern Kingdom." Dong Jue sighed.

Deng Ai was famous for farming, and never led the army alone.

However, as soon as he made a move, he solved Wang Jinhu with three strikes, five divisions and two divisions.

Wang Jinhu is not an ordinary person. He and Wang Feixiao followed Wang Ling in Huainan, and often fought against Wu.

In the Battle of Shaopi, Wang Ling faced Wu Guodu Quan Cong with 7 horses. After several days of bloody battles, Qin Huang and other thirteen Wu generals were beheaded.

The fame of the four brothers' talents moved in Jianghuai.

With Yongliang's situation, Wang Jinhu's defeat was inevitable. After all, there was only one dilapidated Jincheng County, but Jiang Wei's unexpected defeat was somewhat unexpected.

It was precisely because Wang Jinhu was quickly defeated by Deng Ai that the second city of Qushan was exposed to the front of Wei Jun's soldiers prematurely.

Although Sima Zhao is a suspicious soldier, if Hanzhong has an opportunity, he may not go south.

"If I abandon the second city of Qushan, I will have no face to see my elders in Shuzhong." Jiang Wei glanced back at the Tiger Army behind him.

After many days of fighting, the soldiers all looked exhausted.

"Mount Quji has become a dead end. How many soldiers will Bo Yue plan to sacrifice? Now Chen Tai has entered Niutou Mountain and cut off the road back to Dazhong. If Guo Huai and Deng Ai drive troops to Yinping Road, our army's rear will be cut off. At this time If you don’t retreat, you will have no chance to retreat again.”

Jiang Wei was silent.

After a long time, I struggled to utter two words: Retire.

The elite soldiers, who were like tiger soldiers, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
