The last three kingdoms

Chapter 463 Battle of Wuguan

For the Wei army, which is good at cavalry, crossing mountains and mountains is obviously not their strong point. Starting from Xiling, Du Yu's army can run for nearly [-] miles in five days. The mountain road in Suanqiao Ridge was only thirty or forty miles away, but Du Yu walked for almost half a day. He set off from Nanxiang at five o'clock in the morning.

This road is really too difficult to walk. It is rugged, winding and narrow. At most, one person and one rider can pass through it.To make matters worse, it was raining lightly in the sky at this time. Although the rain was not heavy, it did not have much impact on the march, but the slippery road made the march more difficult, and the soldiers of the Wei army were already complaining again and again.

Du Yu had already abandoned the car, and was walking swiftly at the forefront of the team. Although Du Yu's body was frail, the spirit he displayed at this moment was stronger than that of a warrior.Du Yu put on his armor. Due to the rain, the armor seemed to be even heavier. He walked in a hurry, stumbled on a protruding stone, swayed, and nearly fell down.

The school lieutenant beside him, Shao Yuan, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and helped Du Yu, so Du Yu didn't fall down.Shao Yuan said: "General, it's getting late and the road is dangerous. It's better to rest here, and it's not too late to march again tomorrow."

Du Yu wiped away whether it was rain or sweat, his eyes showed a determined look, and said in a deep voice: "This is not far from Wuguan, Wuguan is dilapidated, and the Shu army has just entered the station not long ago. It may be completely repaired, and taking advantage of this opportunity, our army will have the opportunity to take Wuguan in one go. I have passed on my military order that we must rush to the front of Wuguan to go to the village tonight, and there must be no mistakes."

Just at this moment, a cold arrow flew towards Du Yu's ear. The distance was only three or four inches away, and Du Yu was astonished. In a cold sweat.

Du Yuji was lucky to dodge the deadly arrow. The soldier behind him was not so lucky. An arrow pierced his throat, and he fell to the ground before he could utter a scream.

"There is an enemy attack!" Shao Yuan yelled, and blocked Du Yu's body with a stride, staring at the dense forest at the top of the slope ahead, the cold arrow was shot from that direction.

Wei Jun, who was exhausted from the long journey all the way, seemed a little absent-minded when climbing the mountain. The sudden situation at this moment suddenly lifted their spirits. Wei Jun is also extremely well-trained. The most effective way to guard against the enemy's sneak attack is the shield The soldiers formed an formation, and when Shao Yuan just called out that there was an enemy attack, the shield soldiers immediately stepped forward, erecting their shields one by one, covering Du Yu's retreat down the mountain.

In the dense forest on the top of the mountain, Qianhong put away his bow resentfully. He led his army to lie in ambush in the jungle on the top of the mountain. A few scouts couldn't find anything unusual at all.

Qianhong patiently lurked in the bushes and told the Shu army not to act rashly. Sure enough, Qianhong soon found Du Yu who was in the front army. He recognized Du Yu, and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. He bent his bow and set up an arrow, and wanted to take Du Yu's life.

Maybe it's because the distance is too far, Qianhong, who has always been proficient in archery, also missed his aim this time, maybe Du Yu's fate should not be missed, and the arrow that Qianhong was bound to win actually missed Du Yu It flew past the ear, which made Qianhong very annoyed.Seeing that the Wei army was prepared, Qianhong had no choice but to give up killing Du Yu again, and ordered the ambushing archers to shoot together.

Random arrows poured down like locusts. Although the Wei army was protected by shield soldiers, there were still not a few people who were shot by random arrows.

Du Yu had just escaped the deadly arrow by accident, but he still had some fear in his heart. Seeing the ambushes of the Shu army in Suoqiaoling, Du Yu hurriedly ordered the Wei soldiers to retreat.

It seems that Du Yu's plan to rush to Wuguan to go down to the village tonight has failed. The Shu army has a heavy army in Suoqiao Ridge. Camp at the foot of the mountain and wait until dawn before attacking the mountain.

In the early morning of the next day, all the generals of the Wei army came to the tent of the Chinese army and challenged Du Yu together.

Du Yu, however, was not in a hurry, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, this general will make his own decision."

The generals couldn't help wondering. Du Yu, who was rushing to march on the road yesterday, was leisurely after a day. Isn't it just some Shu army blocking the way? The Wei army has 5 horses, and it is still necessary Are you afraid of him?

Of course Du Yu was not afraid, but he knew that the terrain of Suoqiao Ridge was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Wei army wanted to attack by force, it would inevitably pay a high price.

So Du Yu sent people to look for the mountain people here. Although the mountains are high and the land is dangerous, they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water. Du Yu believed that there must be mountain people living in the depths of the mountains.

Du Yu's guess was correct. Not long after the scouts went out, they found two woodcutters. They had been chopping firewood in Wuguan Mountain for many years, and they knew the terrain here like the back of their hands.

Those two woodcutters had never seen the big world, and they saw that Wei Jun's soldiers were strong and majestic, and they couldn't help trembling and sweating profusely.

Du Yu said with a chuckle: "Don't be afraid, you two fellows. We are the army of the Great Wei. Now those thieves who rebelled against Shu have captured Guanzhong. This general was ordered by the court to take back Guanzhong and save all the people. This is the duty of this general. Now Nishu is occupying Suoqiao Ridge. In a hurry, our army can't pass through. The two fellow villagers have been in Wuguan Mountain for a long time. They must know the terrain here. The trail leads directly to Wuguan? If you are willing to tell me, this general will give you a lot of money to thank you."

As soon as they heard that they were rewarded, the two woodcutters immediately showed joy in their eyes, and said immediately: "General, I have been chopping firewood on Wuguan Mountain for a long time, and I know that there is a small road behind the mountain in Suoqiaoling, which can lead directly to Wuguan. But this road It is extremely dangerous and densely covered with thorns, and it is not easy to pass through."

Du Yu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to bring a plate of gold cakes, and said to the two woodcutters, "If you are willing to lead the army, this plate of gold will be given to you."

The two woodcutters probably had never seen so much gold in their entire lives, and their eyes were straightened immediately. Faced with Zhong Hui's request, they nodded in haste.

Du Yu immediately ordered [-] elite soldiers selected from each battalion to Shao Yuan. Guided by the two woodcutters, he secretly bypassed Suoqiao Ridge and made a surprise attack in the direction of Wuguan.
