Li Tong led the Han army to withdraw from Zhou Zhiguan. Luo Ying was overjoyed and immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
With the withdrawal of the Han army, the Zhouzhi Pass was deserted. The Shu army successfully captured Zhouzhi Pass without using a single sword or shot.
Afterwards, the Shu army led by Luo Ying did not stay in the pass for long, and immediately left the pass and headed north to pursue the escaped Li Tong.
Zhouzhiguan is located in a ravine. After leaving Zhouzhiguan, the road going north is still in the ravine, with steep hillsides on both sides.
Not long after leaving the border, spies from the front reported that the Han army was only about five miles away from our own army.
Luo Ying was overjoyed when he heard the news. The Han army was huddled in the Zhouzhi Pass. With the natural danger, there was really no way for him to defeat the Han army. But now that the Han army had left the pass, he could have a head-on confrontation with him. This time he would definitely kill the Han army.
Leave no armor behind.
He ordered his soldiers to advance at full speed and catch up with the Han army as quickly as possible, without giving the Han army a chance to escape.
The 50,000 Shu army led by Luo Ying began a rapid march, chasing the Han army behind them.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the advancing Shu army could already see the flags of the Han army ahead, but at this moment, a series of long whistles sounded from the tops of the mountains on both sides of the road.
Before the Shu army could figure out what was going on, they heard a rumble. The rumble was like thunder coming from the horizon. It was dull at first, but gradually it became louder and louder, and finally reached the point of deafening.
.
People were looking for fame, and it would be better if they didn't look at it. When they saw it, the expressions of all the officers and soldiers of the Shu Army changed greatly.
I saw countless rolling logs and rocks tumbling down from the mountain tops on both sides of the road. The hillside is steep, and the rolling logs and rocks are subject to the principle of gravity acceleration. They roll faster and faster, and there are so many that they are overwhelming and the dust is kicked up.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
At this scene, not only the officers and soldiers of the Shu army were dumbfounded, but Luo Ying, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, was also dumbfounded.
When did the Han army set up an ambush on the top of the mountain? And when did they hoard so many rolling logs and rocks on the top of the mountain? Didn't the Han army just leave Zhou Zhiguan? They had no time to prepare for this!
Luo Ying's head was buzzing, and she had no idea what was going on.
After the Han army arrived at the Zhouzhi Pass, they have been busy collecting wooden logs and rocks. However, there are not many wooden logs and rocks in the Zhouzhi Pass. So what are the Han troops busy with?
In fact, most of the rolling logs and stones collected by the Han army were not transported to the Zhouzhi Pass, but were instead stored on the mountain tops on both sides of the road outside the Zhouzhi Pass.
This is Li Tong's secret arrangement.
Zhu Fu was not very good at using troops, and he was indeed very cautious in fighting. But no matter how timid he was, no matter how afraid of Yancen, he could not leave Li Tong alone in Shu.
The troops fled back to Chang'an.
As the saying goes, you have to look at the Buddha's face even if you don't look at the monk's face. Li Tong is Liu Xiu's brother-in-law. If Zhu Fu dares to harm Li Tong like this, Liu Xiu won't be able to spare him even if he returns to Chang'an.
The reason why he abandoned Li Tong and led his army to flee back to Chang'an was entirely due to a plan he and Li Tong had arranged in advance.
According to Li Tong's calculation, after Zhu Fu led the Western Expeditionary Army to withdraw to Chang'an, Yancen would definitely lead his troops to Zhou Zhiguan and join forces with Luo Ying to besiege his own side.
The ambush he set on the top of the mountain outside Zhouzhi Pass was prepared for Yancen.
As long as Yancen leads his troops to Zhou Zhiguan, the ambush he sets will make it impossible for Yancen to come back and die without a burial place. This is why Li Tong was overjoyed after hearing the news that Zhu Fu had successfully evacuated.
.
Li Tong originally thought that the big fish Yancen was about to take the bait, but he did not expect that Yancen was greedy for success and did not lead his troops south to Zhou Zhiguan. Instead, he led his troops north to pursue Zhu Fu.
According to Li Tong's plan, it can be said that everything is ready now, except for Yancen to fall into the trap. However, Yancen's selfishness allowed him to escape this disaster.
Yancen did not fall into the trap designed by Li Tong, which made all the arrangements Li Tong had made in vain. Can Li Tong not be disheartened?
This was the reason why he was shocked when he heard that Yancen led his troops to the north and did not come to the end of the week.
During this period, Li Tong's mood and the mood of the soldiers under his command were all in the opposite direction. Zhu Fu withdrew his troops, and the Han army soldiers all felt that a disaster was coming. Only Li Tong was overjoyed. Yancen did not go south, but chose
Going north, the Han soldiers were ecstatic, but Li Tong's mood fell to rock bottom.
However, Li Tong did not lose heart for too long. Soon he thought of another unlucky guy, Luo Ying!
Li Tong made a prompt decision, sent an order to withdraw his troops, abandoned Zhou Zhiguan, and headed north. On the surface, it seemed that he wanted to take advantage of Yancen's pursuit of Zhu Fu to lead the Han army to withdraw from Hanzhong and escape from danger.
In fact, Li Tong's plan was that since he failed to get Yancen to take the bait, he would bring in Luo Ying!
Sure enough, after hearing that the Han army had withdrawn from Zhou Zhiguan, Luo Ying couldn't wait to lead his army in pursuit. As a result, the Shu army led by Luo Ying, unprepared, slipped into the trap designed by Li Tong for Yancen.
In the trap.
This is the cause and effect of the matter.
In fact, Li Tong didn't have many ambush troops on the top of the mountain. There were 1,000 people on the top of the mountain on the left and 1,000 people on the top of the mountain on the right. The total was only 2,000, but there were a lot of rolling logs and stones.
The Han army on the top of the mountain continued to push the rolling logs and rocks back down the hillside. The speed was very slow at first, but after reaching the middle of the mountain, its momentum was like thunder. The rolling logs and rocks rolled down the hillside like they were about to fall.
It seemed to be flying, accompanied by a heart-wrenching muffled thunder, and even the ground was shaking.
A huge boulder rolled down the hillside first and rolled into the crowd of the Shu army. The boulder, which was almost a person and a half tall, rolled into the crowd of the Shu army. There were screams and the soldiers who could not dodge were crushed by the boulder on the spot.
In the past, all that was left on the ground was a puddle of humanoid flesh.
Overwhelming one person, the boulder caused minimal resistance. The boulder rolled into the crowd for more than ten meters. Looking at where the boulder passed, a long bright red blood trail was left on the ground. Some Shu soldiers were crushed to death on the spot.
, some Shu soldiers were knocked away or had their legs crushed, lying on the ground, wailing desperately.
This is just one stone, but there are not just one or two, ten, or hundreds of rolling wooden stones falling from the top of the mountain, but thousands.
The 50,000 Shu troops at the bottom of the ravine instantly became a mess. People had nowhere to run or hide. Facing the rolling logs and rocks, they could only close their eyes and wait for death.
Even Luo Ying in the team was not immune. On the hillside next to him, a rolling log more than two feet thick rolled towards him. The thrilling roar made the war horse under his crotch feel uneasy.
Crying.
Luo Ying took a deep breath and raised the Mo Yuan Hua in his hand high. When the log rolled close to him, he gave a loud shout and thrust the Mo Yuan Hua hard into the ground.
Just after hearing a click, the whole head of the shaft, including part of the shaft, did not sink into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was another loud bang, and the rolling log hit Mo Yuanqi hard. The strong impact force made the horse under Luo Ying's crotch unable to bear it, and it staggered back a few steps.
Luo Ying jumped off his horse and stood on the ground, holding on to the pole with both hands and shouldering the thick rolling log.
Luo Ying used his arms to pull out Mo Yuanshan from the ground, raised his eyes to the top of the mountain, and shouted loudly: "There are not many enemies on the mountain. Everyone, follow me to the top of the mountain and kill all the enemies!"
Following his words, he rushed up the hillside and climbed to the top of the mountain.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Shu troops followed suit and followed Luo Ying, climbing to the top of the mountain using their hands and feet.
It was not easy for the Shu army to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The hillside was so steep that even if there was no one guarding it, it would be difficult to climb up. What's more, rolling logs and rocks are constantly falling from the top of the mountain.
As the Shu soldiers climbed up the mountain, people were hit by rolling logs and stones from time to time. They screamed and fell down the hillside. Looking at the bottom of the mountain, it has become a hell on earth. There are corpses everywhere.
There was blood, and there were blood-stained rolling logs and rocks everywhere.
Luo Ying was climbing up when he heard a rumbling sound above his head. He looked up and saw a stone as tall as a person rolling towards him.
With Luo Ying's skill, it was not difficult for him to dodge this boulder. The key point was that if he dodged it, a series of Shu soldiers and generals behind him would suffer.
He squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength. When the boulder rolled in front of him and was about to hit him, he used all his strength to thrust Mo Yuanshan into
on the ground.
The hillside was full of rocks. When he stabbed it down, sparks flew up. Mo Yuanzhang just made a big hole in the rock and sank deeply into it. Boom! The rolling boulder hit the pole and exploded.
There was a loud noise.
At that moment, Luo Ying felt a powerful force flowing along Mo Yuanshan, to his palms, and then from his palms to his arms, and finally collided with his chest.
He felt a tightness in his chest and a sweetness in his throat. He grunted and a mouthful of old blood came up from his chest.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the old blood alive.
Luo Ying is really brave, and his strength is really amazing. Such a big boulder rolled down the steep hillside. It is obvious that the inertia is huge, but he just used his long stick to push the boulder down.
It's blocked.
He could block the rocks on the top of the mountain, but unfortunately, there was only one Luo Ying among the Shu army. He looked to his left and right, and saw countless Shu army soldiers climbing up the mountain, but they were crushed by the rolling logs and rocks that kept falling down.
People's screams were endless, and there were bloodstains everywhere on the hillside, and there were even corpses that had been crushed into meatloaf.
This battle is no longer a big deal! Luo Ying, who was so brave, saw the tragic situation of his own soldiers, and his fighting spirit completely collapsed. He gritted his teeth and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Withdraw troops!"
Now he wants to withdraw his troops, but it's not that easy!
The rolling logs and rocks that kept falling from the top of the mountain had caused heavy casualties to the Shu army and greatly hindered their retreat. What was even worse was that the Han army led by Li Tong had changed from the rear to the front and fought back along the original route.
The mixed wood and rocks caused heavy casualties to the Shu army. The whole army was in chaos and had no formation at all. The Han army that counterattacked and came back showed a complete harvest trend against the Shu army.
Seeing that his own soldiers were being killed by the Han army, they were running away, and the corpses of the soldiers were scattered all over the mountains and fields. Luo Ying felt like rubbing his intestines with his hands. He refused to accept it and was not willing to be defeated. But no matter what, he really had no way to save his life.
He shouted loudly, pulled out the Mo Yuan Hua from the hillside, and then jumped to the side, and the huge boulder rolled down with no obstruction.
He quickly retreated down the hillside, mounted his horse, and then shouted loudly to the surrounding Shu soldiers: "Withdraw your troops! Withdraw your troops immediately!"
In this battle, the Shu army was miserable enough. Luo Ying led 50,000 soldiers to chase Li Tong's tribe. As a result, when they fled back to Zhou Zhiguan, Luo Ying only had 20,000 men left. After the battle, they were close to
Thirty thousand brothers were killed.
Luo Ying had suffered internal injuries, and he was anxious and angry. Not long after returning to Zhou Zhiguan, he fell ill.
The trap Li Tong designed for Yancen failed to be used on Yancen, but it was all used on Luo Ying.
In the valley outside the Zhouzhi Pass, the Han army won a great victory. Then, Li Tong led the Han army and went straight to Sanfu, hoping to help Zhu Fu.
