When Wang Shuang realized that he was in a dangerous situation, it was too late. He noticed some unnatural lights shining on the mountains on both sides, and out of a soldier's intuition, he instinctively smelled an ominous smell. "Stop chasing, it's too narrow here, retreat quickly!" Wang Shuang turned around and shouted loudly.There were about a thousand Wei cavalry around him. This troop was now in a narrow valley. The gray-white mountain walls on both sides slanted and squeezed towards the center, forcing them to line up in a long column.At this moment, Wang Shuang heard a call sign with a Shu dialect above his head, and he raised his head subconsciously...

"not good……" Wang Shuang yelled, and in the next instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows shot out from the valley top, making a sharp scream. The unprepared Wei Jun was stunned by the sudden wave of death. Many soldiers had no time to remove the wooden shields tied to their backs, and were directly shot into hedgehogs. The minds of the neighbors; some cavalry were even nailed to the mountain wall with their men and horses, and their hands and feet were still twitching.There was a dull thumping sound in the valley, the terrible sound of an arrow piercing into flesh. Before the victim recovered from the shock, the second burst of intensive shooting followed, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth... This crazy attack of crossbow arrows was like an avalanche, causing the Wei army's array to collapse. With the complete collapse of their bodies and the will to fight, hideous blood splashes splashed out.

The soldiers of the Wei army seemed at a loss under the shower of arrow rain. They ran aimlessly and shouted like crazy until they were pierced to the ground.Above the head, the rain of arrows from the ambush soldiers even blocked the sunlight on the top of the valley. As the density of the attacks increased, a faint layer of blood mist rose from the blood flowers at the bottom of the valley. Knowing that the situation was out of control, Wang Shuangqing could only bite the bullet and flee to Taniguchi with the soldiers. "As long as we escape smoothly and regroup our troops in the open, there is still hope." Wang Shuang thought, while trying to hold back the pain. In the attack just now, he was hit by three arrows, but luckily none of them were fatal.

When the eighth volley ended, the Wei army had completely collapsed; the originally neat cavalry team became a collection of panic and terror, and the survivors just wanted to escape from this hellish place as soon as possible.The last soldier beside Wang Shuang was shot in the neck by a crossbow arrow, and fell off his horse amidst the wailing sound. The blood sprayed from the wound splashed his face, and even his vision was blurred.Although there are only more than a hundred crossbowmen in the Shu army, thousands of crossbow arrows have been fired, and they continue like waves. Compared with those soldiers, Wang Shuang, the chief general, was luckier. Although several crossbow arrows were firmly nailed to his back and left arm, the heavy basin collar and armour did not allow the arrows to pierce him. wear skin.With this advantage, he miraculously rushed out of Taniguchi in one breath, still in shock.In Wang Shuang's military career, he had never seen a crossbow shooting with such dense firepower and frequency.

But Wang Shuang's luck ended here. As soon as he came out of the valley, the horse under his crotch fell to the ground with a groan. Protect it from crossbow bolts, but you can't avoid these little things.The helpless Wang Shuang was forced to abandon his mount and flee on foot. At this time, he saw a large banner with "Han" written on it, and countless soldiers of the Shu army in ocher yellow uniforms came towards him.Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Wang Shuang roared in despair, drew out his sword, and rushed towards the enemy with blood-red eyes.In the next moment, he was pierced through the body by four spears of the Shu army from different directions, and then another soldier rushed forward with a knife in his hand, and chopped off the head of the Wei general...

……In January of the third year of Wei Taihe, General Cao Zhen sent a memorial to Emperor Cao Rui—later this memorial was issued as an official announcement of the court—the memorial said: “Following the great victory at Jieting at the beginning of the year, Afterwards, recently, the Wei army successfully stopped the ambitions of the Shu Kingdom in front of Chencang City, and Zhuge Liang's military plan went bankrupt for the second time. Under the protection of His Majesty the Emperor and the heavens, Great Wei won another brilliant victory." This performance table brought more festive colors to the court's year-end celebration, and Cao Rui and the people around him talked about it for a long time.Of course, Cao Zhen did not mention in the memorial table that General Wang Shuang died in battle while chasing and retreating the enemy; he believed that there was no need to tell His Majesty the emperor about such an unsightly thing, it was just a small tactical mistake.

In the distant Yizhou, Wang Shuang's head sealed with lime was sent to Chengdu on a special trip, which relieved the emperor Liu Chan, who was worried about the failure of the Northern Expedition. Therefore, at the end of the year, people on both sides of the Qinling Mountains ushered in the third year of Taihe in Wei and the seventh year in Jianxing in Shu with varying degrees of good mood.
