The last three kingdoms

Chapter 778
In the next few days, the Wudang Flying Army continued to use the same tactics, consuming the Huns' troops step by step. Don't look at Liu Yannian's [-] troops deployed in Laoyeling, but if the daily The consumption speed, Liu Yannian felt that it would not take a few days at all, and he would definitely collapse.

But Liu Yannian didn't want to give up. Laoye Ridge can be regarded as the last line of defense in Jinyang. From Laoye Ridge to the east, the terrain drops sharply. Many places are vertical cliffs. From the high mountains to the low-lying plains, there is only a short There is nothing dangerous about the tens of miles away. Once Laoyeling is captured by the Shu army, even Jinyang City will be threatened.

Liu Yannian was very depressed. After all, he was also a well-known general in the Xiongnu army. Being able to sit on the seats of Zuo Dulu King and Zuo General was the best recognition of Liu Yannian's qualifications. I have fought with people from my own tribe, I have fought with other Hu people, I have also fought with Jin people, but it is the first time in my life that I have fought against Shu people.

But it was these two confrontations that made Liu Yannian feel Liu Yin's way of using troops. Most of them were used by the predecessors, but it was precisely because of this that Liu Yannian was terrified.
Now the only thing Liu Yannian can count on is the men and horses in the two camps of Maming Mountain and Miaoqian Mountain. Originally, the three camps were leaning on each other. Once a certain camp was attacked, the other two camps would definitely send troops to help. The pressure will be greatly reduced.

Since the traffic between the three camps has been completely cut off by the Shu army, Liu Yannian cannot get news of the other two camps for the time being. The situation is not optimistic, even worse than Laoyeling.

Attacking Maming Mountain was Fu Zhu's Tiger Cavalry Army, which was the same as the Shu Army who was good at fighting in the mountains. Although the Tiger Cavalry Army was a well-known cavalry force, they abandoned their horses and climbed the mountain without losing the true qualities of the Shu Army.

The shape of Maming Mountain is like a galloping horse roaring to the sky, so the local people call it Maming Mountain. Compared with the steep Laoyeling, Maming Mountain is relatively lower, but there is only one road up the mountain, and it is winding and winding, which also belongs to Yishou One of the most difficult fortresses, Liu Yannian chose to set up his fortress here because he liked the terrain of Ma Mingshan.

During this battle, Fu Zhu was commanded by Liu Yin most of the time, and he could charge forward by himself. Basically, he didn't need to use his brains, but this time Fu Zhu led the battle alone, undoubtedly to show his ability Fu Zhuo is of course smug and eager to use a victory to prove that he is in a high position not because of nepotism.

Fu Zhu's father is the governor of the Left Army Corps, and his brother-in-law is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Fu Zhu's ability to sit in his current position is more or less related to his status. In the Northern Expedition and the rebellion of Xianbei and Qianghu, he made great achievements in battle. This is because his achievements were overshadowed by the brilliant Liu Yin, and it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to show his prominence.

That's why Fu Zhu also hopes that he can lead the army alone and fight a good battle, so that it is possible to reverse his position in the hearts of others.

When they arrived at Maming Mountain, the sun was already slanting to the west. According to the normal marching process, this time the tiger riding camp should choose a flat place, set up a camp, and prepare to launch an attack the next day, but Fu Zhu did not set up first. Instead of camping, he led his troops straight to Maming Mountain, and set up a pergola to look at it.

Maming Mountain was lush and lush with lush vegetation. Fu Zhu looked around from the bottom of the mountain and could hardly see anything, not even a single figure of the Huns, but this didn't seem to affect Fu Zhu's mood.

"Gather the troops and prepare to attack the mountain!" Fu Zhu simply and clearly gave the order to fight.

The Huqi Zuoying Zhonglang who was standing beside him was taken aback, and persuaded: "General Fu, it's getting late and it's not suitable to attack. How about setting up camp first and fighting tomorrow?"

Fu Zhu chuckled, and said, "It's okay, I just want to test the Huns' defensive strength. If we really want to attack the mountain, we will naturally wait until tomorrow."

General Zuoying Zhonglang nodded in support. Fu Zhuo wanted to throw stones to ask the way, which was also a positive move. He immediately mobilized 3000 troops and launched an attack on Ma Mingshan.

The road in Maming Mountain is narrow, let alone 3000 people, even 300 people can't be lined up in a row, they can only use the method of filing.

Fu Zhuo personally commanded the attack on the mountain. Seeing that the soldiers had arrived at the foot of Maming Mountain, but there was still no sign of the Huns, Fu Zhuo ordered the whole army to be on alert to deal with the sudden attack of the Huns.

The enemy is in the dark, so Fu Zhuo naturally has to be more cautious. He protects the shield soldiers in front, and the archers follow closely behind. They all keep their knives out of their sheaths, guns in their hands, and arrows in their hands. They are always ready to go into battle. among.

Sure enough, when he was halfway up the mountain, he heard a sudden sound of clappers coming from the dense forest, and arrows rained down. Fortunately, Fu Zhuo was well prepared. Facing the sudden blow, he showed a personality that did not match his age. Calm down, the shieldman raised his shield high and blocked the arrows shot by the Huns one by one, only Xiao Xu suffered casualties.

Behind the shield soldiers, the archers of the Shu army who had been drawing their bows and ready to shoot at this moment immediately counterattacked as if they had found their prey. Arrows from both sides rained like rain, and a fierce battle began.

Just when Fu Zhuo was hesitating not to increase the number of soldiers and horses to fight back, suddenly there was a commotion in the Huns' formation, and the arrows of the Huns were very messy after being shot.

Although Fu Zhu didn't understand what was going on, he keenly felt that this was a good opportunity, so he immediately sent a large army to press up and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu soldiers also seemed to have lost their original vigor. Under the constant disturbance from the rear, the Huns' defense line was weakened. After several charges, the Huns defeated countless enemies and seized the first mountain card of Maming Mountain. .

Seeing the hope of victory, Fu Zhu's attacking force was not limited to the 3000 men of the Vanguard Battalion. He immediately gathered all the men and horses, and informed Luo Xi, who was the reserve team behind, to send some troops over as well. , to protect the rear wings of the tiger cavalry from being outflanked by the Huns.

Under the fierce offensive of the Shu army, the Huns retreated steadily and had no intention of resisting at all. Fu Zhuo led the army to attack Maming Mountain in one breath, and the sunset had just set.
