Waves of Cao soldiers attacked the fortress without fear of life or death.

The defenders on the wall were also flicking arrows in their palms with cold faces or constantly carrying rolling logs and stones to greet them.

A moment's breath.

The site is becoming more and more intensified, and the war is constantly escalating.

Casualties gradually increased, and the smell of blood around them became thicker.

Layers of corpses piled up under the fortress, like a hill.

This partial division of Cao's army was not a professional corps in the first place. It rarely experienced battles on weekdays, and it had never seen such cruelty on the battlefield.

Some of the timid soldiers were already shrinking back when looking at such bloody scenes, and their legs seemed to be weakening.

Military morale is no longer as strong as it was just now.

The guards can naturally feel the change in pressure intuitively.

It seems that the resistance is getting easier and easier.

The offensive lasted for several days.

The first line of defense in the Wushan realm is still firmly in the hands of the Han army.

That's it for now.

Seeing that the enemy army was no more than a thousand men, his willpower was so tenacious, and as time went by, he knew that Zhao Tong's troops would be able to escape the pursuit of his main force at any time and return to the Qiang Road.

Yin Feng and Zhao Qu felt inexplicably worried for a moment.

In order to speed up the progress, the two of them discussed it and decided to use all the elite troops to launch a fierce attack on the fortress again.

In the blink of an eye, I felt the intense offensive pressure.

Ma Zhong has rich experience in fighting, and he also found something unusual in it.

It is speculated that this may be the enemy's all-out attack.

He also observed the aura exuded by the soldiers on the other side, and there was quite an aura that he would never return until he broke the Qiang Dao.

In order to preserve his strength, Ma Zhong did not intend to fight the enemy at the first line of defense.

After resisting for a while, they ordered all the troops to withdraw from the village and slowly move to the second line of defense.

The Wushan Realm was handed over to the enemy easily.

After suddenly receiving this order, the generals and commanders under his command still had a lot of doubts in their hearts.

Before leaving, they couldn't help but raise their hands and ask:

"General Ma, why are you retreating with your troops?"

"Yes, although the enemy has increased their attack intensity, our soldiers still have the fighting spirit to resist, so they may not be able to hold on to this line of defense."

"General, let us continue to hold on!"

Hearing everyone's unanimous call for battle, Ma Zhong smiled, but ignored it and waved his hand to the generals to strictly follow the military orders.

The generals at the lower level naturally have different concerns than him.

What he has to consider is not just the gains and losses in the Wushan world.

It's about overall considerations.

If by sticking to this corner of Wushan Realm, the main force left behind will be exhausted, then how can the important town of Qiang Road be preserved?

The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so it is obviously unrealistic to fight head-on.

Ma Zhong would not adopt this strategy.

As the Han army units slowly moved and withdrew.

Cao Jun also conquered the first line of defense in the Qiang Road as promised.

For Cao Jun, this was also a good start for Cao Jun, and it was worth celebrating.

And being able to break through this line of defense this time was really hard-won for them.

Perhaps this was done to boost the fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command.

When night fell, Yin Feng held a banquet in Dazhai to entertain all the generals to celebrate.

Afterwards, he led the generals to carry the wine jars to each camp and inspect them one by one.

He drank wine with the other soldiers, thinking that he would reward all the troops for their contribution in this bloody battle.

This night.

The men in each camp were greatly moved when they saw their masters personally rewarding them.

The morale, which had been somewhat low due to the extremely fierce battle, quickly recovered.

Then take a short rest to replenish the spirits of the soldiers in the army and keep their physical strength strong.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Feng once again led the crowd towards the direction of the Qiang Road.

At this moment, Ma Zhong, who had already retreated to the second line of defense, was fully prepared, and all defenses had been arranged in an orderly manner.

Facing the enemy's offensive, they still resisted step by step.

Resist for a while.

Ma Zhong once again abandoned the defense and evacuated with his troops, handing over this line of defense.

Cao Jun once again captured a fortress.

The distance to conquering the important town of Qiang Road is one step closer.

Similarly, after a short rest, Zhao Qu and Yin Feng continued to advance with their troops.

For many days.

Several fortresses built in the northeast of Qiang Road have been demolished one by one by Cao's army.

Until now.

Ma Zhong had already led his troops to retreat to the Qiangdao camp.

This is the last line of defense, and now they have no choice but to avoid it.

If this place is lost again, the situation will be reduced to nothing in an instant.

The Wudu West will be completely gone.

It also seems to be at the point of life and death.

At this moment, there was no longer a smile on Ma Zhong's face, but a strong look of seriousness.

He personally criticized the leaders every day, patrolled among the troops with a sharp sword hanging from his waist, greeted the soldiers and constantly encouraged the morale of the troops.

In this way, the soldiers of all tribes share the same hatred of the enemy and have high morale.

And at the same time.

When the third line of defense was conquered and Yin Fengzheng was about to lead his troops towards the Qiangdao camp again, Zhao Qu on the side seemed to have discovered something and suddenly felt something was wrong.

He couldn't help but find him quickly and said with a worried look on his face: "Brother Yin, something is wrong about this matter. I suggest that we should station here first and wait and see what happens before we move in."

"Oh, Brother Zhao, do you have any insights?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Yin Feng, who was nearby, also had a close relationship with him. He knew something about his thoughts, so he couldn't help but respond bluntly.

"Brother Yin, don't you think that our progress in recent days seems to be a little too smooth?"

"What does Brother Zhao mean?"

"Yes, I suspect that there may be something hidden in this matter."

"After all, the Shu army was so powerful that this matter had already been spread. In the previous battle of Hanzhong, General Xiahou was defeated and died at the foot of Micang Mountain. Even the prime minister personally led the army and had to withdraw his troops and returned home in defeat.

"

"Even a mere general like Zhao Tong can bring thousands of humble men north to harass our border areas in southwestern Longxi, and he can compete with the troops under General Fei Yao without falling behind."

"These many situations can prove that the Shu army's combat power is by no means a mob."

"But it seems too easy for our army to capture these lines of defense, as if the enemy general deliberately gave them to our army."

When the words fell here, Zhao Qu seemed to pause for a moment, and then said solemnly: "I am just worried that there may be something fishy in this matter."

"If we rush into the army rashly, we may make some mistakes."

One word fell.

Yin Feng also calmed down for a moment.

He did not dare to underestimate Shu generals too much.

After all, Zhao Tong's reputation has suddenly risen in recent years.

Since he can be valued by him and stay in such an important place in Qiang Road, he is obviously not an ordinary person.
