Wei Yan was not only surprised that they were ambushed.
There was no way Shimoben Castle would be a completely empty city, and he had already prepared for this.
But when he saw the young face on the city wall, an extremely strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Anger flowed uncontrollably into his heart and into his hair, and Wei Yan's eyes turned red in an instant.
"That general of Cao's army in the city! How dare you tell me his name!"
"Wei Yan? Wei Wenchang, hehehe - it doesn't hurt to tell you, I am the younger brother of Ma Mengqi from Xiliang, and so is Ma Dai!"
"Your so-called plan has been seen through by my husband! Now put down your weapons and accept the surrender. I can still spare your life, otherwise——"
Ma Dai's eyes kept drifting behind him, because in the corner of his sight, there was still a large group of soldiers from the Shenjian Battalion preparing to attack.
These people are all archery masters that Yi Xiaotian has carefully selected over the past few months - not only that, coupled with a weapon as powerful as the Moon-Chasing Repeating Crossbow, at the moment, under certain circumstances,
Among them, this Shenjian battalion can be regarded as the most powerful army in the world.
But Ma Dai's wandering eyes turned into a provocation when it landed on Wei Yan.
As soon as Wei Yan saw this young general named Ma Dai, his chest started to hurt for some unknown reason. He was already furious, but after being looked down upon by Ma Dai again (in his opinion), Wei Yan's anger suddenly disappeared.
Jumped to the top.
"How dare Shu Zian speak arrogantly! No one in the world dares to be so arrogant in front of me, Chief Wei Wen!"
"Okay... okay, since you want to die today, then I will give you a ride!"
At this time, Wei Yan, who was completely exploded, could not care less about how the soldiers around him had been hit.
He held up his long knife and swung away the dense arrows while howling and rushing towards the city wall.
The walls of Xiabian City are not high and there are no suitable siege equipment. Even if the cavalry led by Wei Yan is more ferocious, they can only use clumsy methods to climb the city - just like the battle taking place in Hefei right now, piles of earth
Filling the ladder, risking being shot like a hedgehog, relying on human lives to pile up dirt.
On the other hand, due to the slight inclination of the city wall of Xiabian City, Wei Yan completely revealed his fierce side after losing his ability to think.
City wall?
It was just a slightly steeper slope - Wei Yan reached the bottom of the city wall. Without thinking, he reined up his horse. The horse neighed, his front hooves were raised high, and his hind hooves suddenly collapsed, and he jumped up.
The city wall.
In just two or three breaths, the horse actually walked on the slope of the city wall with terrifying speed.
In Wei Yan's eyes, except for Ma Dai's head, he thought of nothing else.
"Shu Zi!! Accept your fate!!"
Wei Yan's roar resounded throughout the sky. Even though Ma Dai had the advantage at this moment, the soldiers around him were frightened by such a violent Wei Yan and were paralyzed.
"This...is really a bit fierce, isn't it?"
Even Ma Dai was so frightened by Wei Yan's momentum that he broke into a cold sweat.
Of course, the strangest thing for him was that he had only provoked the other party slightly, so why would the other party be so angry?
Is there any irresolvable hatred between the two of them?
——
It's still a frontal battlefield.
The long and narrow Jinniu Ancient Road has still become a cemetery where corpses are buried.
After Zhuge Liang made up his mind to resist Cao's army's frontal attack, the battle situation became more and more anxious.
Even Xiahou Dun, Cao Zhen, Xu Chu and others felt it, and felt that the organization of the enemy army on the opposite side had simply risen sharply.
Even if Zhang He and Ma Chao participated in the battle later, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, supported by Huang Zhong, Huo Jun and Chen Dao, were still extremely brave.
It was another day of stalemate fighting. After the two sides suffered nearly 5,000 casualties in total, they finally retreated in the evening.
In front of Yangping Pass——
Cao Jun's camp still expanded, including the Guangshi area, directly connected from north to south.
Not only occupying the top of the mountain, but also occupying an extremely important pass in front of Micang Mountain.
These... were not Xiahou Dun's or Zhang He Cao's ideas, but the decisions made by a young man who had just arrived at the front line in the past few days and was so frightened by everyone's support.
"Gong Yan! Gong Yan! As expected, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun changed their formations again today! But as you said, we responded calmly with a square formation, but the opponent continued to attack from both sides of Shanyin according to the terrain.
Our offensive was harassing... We were supposed to win today..."
Outside the camp, Xiahou Dun took off his helmet, revealing his hair that was soaked with sweat. Big beads of sweat were dripping from his cheeks. It could be seen that he was quite tired at this moment.
Xu Chu walked into the camp carrying a pot of strong wine and burping, but he did not yell at the top of his lungs like he did in the past.
All the generals in the tent had already taken their seats. When Xiahou Dun sat on the right side of Jiang Wan, the discussion began again.
The chief is none other than Jiang Wan.
Although no one explained it, from this point alone, it can be seen that Jiang Wan has completely gained everyone's trust.
Xia Houyuan will not say it anymore, but the shock of Dingjun Mountain still retains an important position in his heart.
Xia Houyuan now has no complaints about being far away from the main battlefield and must continue to be stationed in Dingjun Mountain.
And these on the front - almost all the named generals in Cao's camp have gathered together, and they have no objections to all of Jiang Wan's decisions, which shows the importance of Jiang Wan in everyone's hearts.
Without Jiang Wan, the Hanzhong War would never have gone so smoothly.
"Well... As expected, it's still a question of commanding on the battlefield. If you want to be evenly matched with Liu Bei's army, just do as I said and let me go to the battlefield with you tomorrow -"
Jiang Wan nodded slightly and could not deny Xiahou Dun's words, and then put forward his own solution.
However, it was precisely this point that Xiahou Dun, Zhang He, Cao Zhen and others all shook their heads when they heard:
"No, no, no - Gong Yan, the frontal battlefield is extremely dangerous. We know that you have the ability to command on the spot, but our situation is far from the point where we need to take such a big risk with the other party."
"Then Zhuge Liang was obviously forced to a dead end. Otherwise, he would not be standing in such a dangerous position - let me tell you, if Miaocai was here, he would only need to get slightly closer to the opponent's general platform, which would be enough.
One arrow took away Zhuge Liang's life..."
Xiahou Dun was telling the truth. Today was different from the previous days. Zhuge Liang simply stepped onto the general platform and waved his fan to give command just a few miles away from the battlefield. Xiahou Dun watched with his own eyes as Zhuge Liang made one gesture after another.
The messenger soldiers beside him waved the red and blue flags crazily - and then, the soldiers of Liu Bei's army opposite him changed their formations very quickly, catching them off guard.
Coupled with the presence of fierce men like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, it is really difficult to take advantage of the speed of our own cavalry.
