Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1304
Located tens of miles southeast of Fufenjin, there is a ridge with a height of several tens of feet, which rises abruptly from the flat ground, and the root of the mountain occupies a part of the Jishui waterway. From this ridge, it is open all the way down. , directly to Juyeze, and more than 20 miles north of Poling is an important Jinkou Shimen before Jishui enters the river.

This slope is named after its shape, so it is called Julou Ridge, which can be regarded as the place where its shape wins.There are two garrison forts in Poling, one is located at the top of Poling, and the other is located on the bank of Jishui River. The scale is not very large, and there are usually hundreds of troops stationed there.

Xin Bin rushed to rescue Fufen but failed, so he moved to Shimen and occupied the two fortresses on Julouling before the arrival of the Jie army.Afterwards, when the Jie army was sweeping the border areas around Fufen, they soon discovered this place where they could win by choking the water. Several groups of wandering troops rushed to them and launched a fierce attack on Poling.

Before getting in touch with other kings from all walks of life, Xin Bin did not have enough troops to garrison these garrison points around Shimen, but he also knew that once Julouling fell, this section of Jishui River would be strangled, and the subsequent development of the war will be passive.Therefore, he also strictly guarded it, and even personally settled in the fortress near the water at the foot of the mountain to supervise the battle.

The two sides fought fiercely around this ridge for two days, but because this ridge is really dangerous, although the gentle slope caused some disadvantages for the enemy's upward attack, it was not an insurmountable situation.

When the arrows, stones and other anti-enemy objects in the city were exhausted, when the bandit army climbed on three sides of the wall of the garrison, which was less than a foot high, they finally killed the hundreds of Jin soldiers in the city by multiplying their momentum. Chased out of the fort.

Hundreds of soldiers fought and retreated, and Xin Bin personally led another part of the army to rush forward to meet them.And thousands of enemy troops have covered the top of the entire ridge in blackness, and they are attacking downward, with even more high-spirited momentum.

The armies of both sides fought fiercely on the mountainside facing the river. Although they lost the fortress on the mountain, they still did not lose the place facing the river behind them.But after the fall of Feng Fen, the generals of Master Wang already had a bit of anger and unwillingness in their hearts. They just felt that it would be unbearable to lose even an inch of ground in the future.

After the Jie army entered Fufen, its main force has been invading southeast, especially Shimen where Hejin is located.Xin Bin led [-] cavalry to help this time. He crossed the river and fought the enemy a few times before.

Later, when the Jie army dispatched more and more horses and cavalry, the Jin army's field advantage gradually lost, and Xin Bin could only retreat to the east of the river line, relying on the Hejin defense to block the Jie army in the northwest of Jishui.

Xin Bin also understands that it is actually a bit of a battle of spirits to stick to Poling to meet the enemy at this moment, but the military spirit can be used. If he chooses to withdraw his troops at this moment, even if it turns out to be a more mature and prudent decision later, he will feel helpless In the face of these humiliating and hard-working soldiers.

Holding a knife in one hand and a spear in the other, he acted like a soldier, slashing and stabbing the soldiers who were pouring down like mercury.The soldiers behind him were also holding swords and shields at this moment, fighting the enemy side by side, and turned into a human-shaped fence, blocking the diving Jie army on this section of the hillside.

Soldiers from both sides spread their corpses on the slope. Looking from a distance, the slope here was dyed red and enchanting, as if the autumn wind came early and the red maple was everywhere.

"Those Jin people are really not afraid of death?"

The generals of the Jie army who were attacking the summit of Shangpoling were looking at the heights with great satisfaction, and asked people to throw out the corpses of the Jin army that had accumulated on the top of the city. Shi Shi also felt very anxious, and felt a little palpitation for no reason.

In order to capture this slope, they invested more than [-] troops, not including another part of the army who went down the river and entered the river, intimidating the guards of the Jin army in Shimen and other places not to abandon their defenses and reinforce them. .

And up and down this slope, there are only more than two thousand guards. Before the poor attack on the top of the peak, the number of Jin troops killed had already exceeded a thousand. The Jin army should have been killed long ago, and then they could swoop down and take the Hejin Garrison Fort, but they didn't expect to encounter such a fierce blocking!

Afterwards, a scene that shocked these Jie soldiers even more appeared. In the Jishui River channel covered by dense bamboo jungle in the distance, suddenly a few large sails poked out from between the trees, and then they did not turn their heels. Two fighting ships full of troops and more than a dozen small boats sailed quickly in the river!

The rushing sound of flags and drums came from behind, and Xin Bin didn't even need to turn his head, his face already showed surprise, he raised his arms and shouted: "The reinforcements have arrived, and now is the time for the bandits to die!"

Although the Jin army fought bravely, under the constant impact of the enemy, the number of casualties also increased sharply. The more than 500 guards who had withdrawn from the fort on the top of the peak, and Xin Bin himself led less than 200 soldiers. Under the circumstances, Shengsheng blocked the Jie army at the waist of the slope for more than a quarter of an hour, and he paid a heavy price, except for the more than 300 guards who had fought fiercely before and were sent back to the fort by the river to recuperate. There were less than [-] other people participating in the battle who could gather around Xin Bin at this moment.

But there were less than 300 people. After hearing the inspiring call of the general and the familiar drums and horns from the friendly army on the river behind them, their potential exploded again, and they went against the trend almost roaring. The front line of the fort that was gradually approaching the rear was pushed out by more than several feet!
"Attack quickly, attack quickly! It will take a few moments before the enemy army arrives. Take the river defense fort, and you can face the river to resist the enemy!"

Although the boats of the Jin army can already be seen on the river, they are still some distance away from here. Judging by the speed of the boats, it will take at least half an hour before they arrive.But right now, most of the Jin army has been attacked and killed here, and there are only a few hundred remnants in that area to be called obstacles.

As long as they can enter the garrison that protrudes into the river, the Jin army boats will not dare to approach this section of the already tightened river!

That's what the Jie general at the top of the peak thinks. In fact, he has no way out right now. Their Jie army has a total of over [-] troops in Fufen, and they participated in the battle of Julouling. More than tens of thousands of troops were invested, and it took an important two days.

In the enemy's situation, the Jin army is encircling from all walks of life. Now that the Jie army is in use, no matter the timing or combat power, it is extremely precious, and it is a little more important than life.If he falls short at the last moment, the general can't even imagine how furious Pingyuan Gongshixuan will be, and what cruel means will be used to punish him!
So at this moment, the general didn't have time to think about the trade-offs, and immediately summoned the two thousand soldiers in the fort who had already fought fiercely and had the merit of being the first to ascend, and were resting, and directly jumped out of the fort, and went down to kill them!

Earlier, even though they knew that there was no help in the back road, the Jin army was still able to stop the enemy halfway without fear of death. Now the reinforcements are already in sight, and they will arrive in no time. The madman turned a blind eye to the enemy's slashing, stabbing, and body weapons, and even threw out his arm shield, holding the sword in both hands, waving it like a wind wheel!
The so-called life and death, in a face to face, if you can't kill me immediately, I will hack you to death!My life and death have long been out of the question, what about you?
It's not that the Jie soldiers have not experienced fierce fighting, they probably have such moments of fighting for their lives, but it is obvious that the Jin army's courage is far stronger than them, so that it is obvious that they are the most powerful , The dominant side, but unexpectedly gave birth to a kind of helpless fear.

Especially those Jie soldiers who were fighting with the Jin army on the front line, even though there were robes around them to cooperate in the fight, but when those bloodshot Jin soldiers looked at them fiercely, it seemed that there were only two of them left in the world, The brave will live, the cowardly will die!
At the same time, the reinforcements of the Jin army, who were still far away on the river, quickly guessed the intention of the Jie army after seeing that the killing on Poling was obviously more intense.

Commander Cao Na snapped his beard with his nails, took a closer look at the surrounding terrain, and said decisively: "Jiazi Battalion unarmoured, swim across!"

The soldiers on the ship were already screaming and fighting, and when they heard the command from the general, the most elite soldiers of the Class A battalion hurriedly stripped off their armor robes, packed their bows and knives and threw them on the small boats around the battleship, and then they They went into the water alone, and then swam directly to the shore, followed by the small boats loaded with their armor.

After decelerating, the boat was even faster, and the boatmen swung their oars so hard that the capital of the boat tilted slightly, drawing a straight white line on the water, and galloped straight to where Julou Ridge was!

"The southerners are crazy, crazy..."

In the fighting line on the slope, suddenly a soldier let out a strange cry, threw the spear in his hand, and then turned around and ran back.Although this person had just turned around, he was killed by a soldier of the Jin army who bullied him, but this atmosphere of fear spread suddenly, so the Jie soldiers who swooped down and killed on the slope unexpectedly formed an army. Disintegrated, each turned around and ran to the rear!
As for that General Hu, who had just arrived at the front line at this moment, and was about to go forward with a knife to kill the most ferocious Jin army commander, he was suddenly shocked by the rout of the soldiers on his own front. It was difficult for those fugitives to rush directly in front of him, but the footholds they stood on had been pushed up by more than a few feet without knowing it.

"You are not allowed to escape, if there are any escapers, you will be killed without mercy..."

The general roared angrily while waving a larger and thicker saber in his hand, but his roar was completely drowned out by depressing words such as "the southerners are crazy" and "I don't want to die" everywhere.

The general felt like crying at this moment, especially when he saw the Jin reinforcements on the river rushing towards this place at a soaring speed. He was in despair. He supervised the battle here, even if he didn't mention the loss of time and manpower. Although some of the [-] lives were taken as cannon fodder by Jin people who were arrested around them, Duke Pingyuan naturally wouldn't tell him this kind of reasoning.

It can be said that at such a high price, even if he successfully captured the upper and lower fortresses of Julouling, it would be worthwhile to offset his merits and demerits. It will only be possible that he will not be held accountable if the war progresses smoothly and Duke Pingyuan is in a good mood. He is fatuous and tired of his faults.

But now, the battalion soldiers mutinied and fled in front of the formation, and the morale of the army was devastated. Even if he led the crowd back to the peak to defend the fort, he might not be able to hold on. Moreover, the most important thing here at Julouling is to prevent the Jin army from marching north along the Ji River to join the battle and win the battle. Not going down to guard the fort along the river, he squats on the peak just to chat with people?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, the general looked at his own soldiers who were equally panic-stricken on the left and right, and suddenly sighed, dropped the saber in his hand and said: "Tie me up, let's go to Jin. Even if we return to the camp, we will die." Feeding wolves..."
