In the hilly valley, Xu Rong looked at the sun that was already setting west, and asked the scout ahead with a little anxiety, "Have you found the right path?"

The scout immediately replied: "Go back to General, this time I should not be wrong. Look at the shallow valley between the two hills ahead. This small impression is very deep and I will remember it wrong. After passing through it, it is the semi-circular basin where Weili City is located."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Transfer a certain military order and accelerate the advance."

A few days ago, Liang Jun sent a scout and, under the guidance of a Mahan who had bought a lot of money, found the location of Weili City. However, this path was traveling through the mountains throughout the whole journey, without obvious signs, and one of the distances was passed by at night. This made the experienced Liang Jun mountain scouts confused on the second trip. Fortunately, they were not lost in the end. After several short walks and turning back, they finally found the correct path, and were already very close to Weili City.

But when Xu Rong was about to enter the hilly entrance, he felt a little confused. Although the hill was only thirty or forty high, the slope was slow, but the vegetation was dense. Xu Rong could see at a glance that it was a good place for ambushers. He immediately stopped the horses and shouted loudly: "The whole army stopped moving forward!"

The military order was immediately relayed and spread throughout the entire marching queue. The team that was winding across the village stopped one after another. Xu Rong pointed the spear and gun at the hills on both sides and said, "Select a scout to investigate these two hills to see if there are enemy soldiers hidden in the trees."

Immediately, more than a dozen Liang army scouts were raising eagles and dogs to run towards the hills. However, Xu Rong stopped and instructed: "If you find that there is really an enemy ambush here, try to pretend that you have not discovered them."

The leader of the scout clasped his fists to Xu Rong and said, "Don't worry, General, we have some experience in this. If there are really enemy ambushes in the mountains and forests, we will try our best to prevent the other party from discovering us. Even if they notice us, we will not let them know that we have discovered them."

The scout immediately ordered his opponent: "Put the dogs masks so that they will not bark and startle the enemy."

Soon, more than a dozen mountain scouts disappeared into the mountains and jungles. Time passed by minute by minute, but more than a dozen scouts disappeared like stones sinking into the sea. Xu Rong couldn't help but feel anxious, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down his forehead.

Just as he was about to send a second wave of scouts, the mountain scout leader ran back alone with a muddy face. Xu Rong hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back at this time? Why are you back alone? What about the others?"

The scout leader replied panting: "Report to the general, his subordinates and his subordinates climbed up from the steep cliff behind the hill to the top of the mountain, and then sneaked into the forest from top to bottom. As a result, he found that there were indeed a large number of enemy ambushes on the two hills. Moreover, his subordinates and several brothers had roughly figured out their location and deployment. However, when we were about to turn back, another enemy army came to the top of the mountain, which made it possible for us to go down the mountain to be discovered. In order not to alert the snake and reduce the exposure of the target, his subordinates decided to turn back alone. The rest of the people were still hiding in the forest on the mountain."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "So that's it. This time, your brothers and you have made great contributions." After that, he summoned generals and officers from the army squadron to make careful arrangements.

At this time, on the hill on the left, a young Fuyu general was squatting in the grass and looking at the foot of the mountain in the distance. He was the younger brother of Fuyu King Qiushou. This time he was ordered to lead 5,000 troops to set up an ambush here. Nearly an hour ago, he received news from the scout that the Liang army was within a range of several miles. He immediately ordered the Baekje soldiers to prepare for an ambush. However, he waited for almost an hour and did not see the Liang army coming. Instead, he became anxious, so he led more than a hundred personal guards to climb up the mountain and climbed up to the distance to observe the whereabouts of Liang army.

One of his personal guards whispered: "General, look. They are here! Liang's army is here!" Xiao Gu looked around and saw that a team of ranks under the banner of Liang's army drove into the valley. The queue was five people in a row, but it stretched nearly a mile long. Mao was probably about two thousand people. He was stunned and said to himself in a low voice: "It's not that the scouts said that there were about three thousand people, why were there only two thousand people, and they were all infantrymen. Where did the cavalrymen above and under the thousand cavalry go?"

A Baekje general next to him replied: "Maybe they felt that the cavalry mountain road was difficult to walk, and they thought that our Fuli City was in the mountainous area, and the cavalry could not play their advantages, so they let the cavalry go back first."

Xiao Gu did not agree with this answer. However, the Liang army soon entered the valley, and time could not tolerate him thinking too much. Xiao Gu ordered: "Be prepared to sound the horn and attack Liang army entering the valley with all their strength. Be sure to wipe them out!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the Liang army, who had entered the valley, suddenly set up a formation in the open valley under the loud and loud command. Two shield walls were built toward the hillsides on both sides. Behind the shield wall, there were beam soldiers holding large shields and covering the shield walls. Birds and portable crossbows were also quickly arranged in the open space. There were also a circle of guns and shield soldiers holding large shields standing around each crossbow.

Jin Xiaogu exclaimed loudly: "No, they found us, and immediately blew the horn and launched an attack!" The soldiers beside him then took out their horns and whined, but after blew twice, the arrows shot from the nearby grass. The soldiers who blew the horns were shot and died on the spot. Jin Xiaogu himself was dragged to the ground by his quick-witted personal soldiers.

The arrows were still shooting, and another commander Baekje soldier was shot into honeycombs by arrows. Jin Xiao Gu said urgently: "You need to send orders quickly, otherwise you will lose this battle." As he spoke, a general braved the cold arrows that kept shooting out of the grass and grabbed the horn that the commander fell to the ground in his hand. Then he rolled into the bushes on one side with a few arrows on his body, and blew the horn on his back.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of trumpets of the Baekje army echoed this order also rang one after another. The five thousand BJje soldiers ambushed on the hillsides on both sides stood up and shouted in unison. The arrows also shot towards the Liang army formation in the valley like locusts. However, at this time, the Liang army's crossbows had been installed and fired the first wave of fire bombs. Dozens and hundreds of fireballs rose into the air and fell to the hillsides on both sides in the rain of arrows.

The arrow rain hit Liang Jun's shield wall like raindrops, but it had no effect at all. The fireball fell among the plants and trees that had withered due to summer drought, and ignited piles of raging fires. The Baekje soldiers began to pounce on the valley like a tsunami...
