Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 202 Storming Erlong Mountain

In the barracks lobby, Qin Guan was looking at a map. This was a map of the territory of Xiongzhou, marked with mountains, rivers, and the border with Xixia of the Liao Kingdom. At the moment, there were many red circles drawn on it, about a dozen of them. Each red circle represents a bandit force.

Xiong Da said next to him: "Xiongzhou has a vast land and few people, and it borders Xia Kingdom and Liao Kingdom. These places have become the paradise of those bandits and bandits. They are only in our Xiongzhou territory. Anyone who can name them is There are about a dozen hills."

"Erlong Mountain is one of them, but it's not the most powerful. The most powerful is a group of horse bandits. The leader is called "Golden Eagle". It is said that there are about three to four hundred people in this group of horse bandits. , is very tough, and often robs the convoys of merchants traveling between Liao and Dazhao, but I have never heard of any harassment of the people in this state, which is at the border between Xiongzhou and Liao, and the other situation is not very clear."

Qin pointed at the map and said, "The first goal is to eradicate Erlong Mountain first. Tomorrow, the whole army will set out to send troops to Erlong Mountain."

, The Xiang army set off in mighty force, with great momentum.

Eight thousand soldiers and two thousand logistics, with a full range of arms, and even a thousand cavalry, to deal with Erlong Mountain, which has less than a thousand people, is a bit of a big deal, but it is for training and adapting the new army. question.

The infantry is fine, but the cavalry is not a day's work. Xiong Er still tries to choose people who know how to ride horses, and he can only ensure that these cavalry will not get lost in the battle. As for the battle, they can't show their combat effectiveness at all.

"Da da da"

The sound of hoofs.

The three horses quickly ran into Erlong Mountain.

When they arrived at the cottage, one of them shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and put down the suspension bridge, and report something urgent to the head."

The bandits guarding the gate of the village knew the three of them very well. They were all spies from the village. Without delay, they untied the rope and lowered the suspension bridge. There is only a gap in the rock cliff three or four people wide, and a canyon appears in front of it.

Someone ran over and took hold of the three horses, and the three jumped off the horses, and ran quickly up the mountain without stopping for a moment.

The leader of Erlong Mountain, Wang Song, was talking to the military adviser. The three of them ran into the hall, and the leader said out of breath, "There are a large number of officers and soldiers coming to kill Erlong Mountain."

Wang Song stood up abruptly, "A large group of officers and soldiers, how many are there?"

"We took a look at it from a distance, and the team was endless, with no less than ten thousand people."

Wang Song scolded: "Fart, there are no fewer than ten thousand people, how can there be so many officers and soldiers."

The military adviser next to him frowned and said: "Master, I heard that Xiongzhou has recruited tens of thousands of troops, and I'm afraid they all came this time."

"Damn it, is the government planning to attack us Erlong Mountain?" Wang Song scolded.

"The master, the officers and soldiers are coming aggressively. I'm afraid they are here to avenge the robbery of the grain truck last time, so we have to prepare early." Military said.

Wang Song thought for a while and said, "Our Erlong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I don't believe that those officers and soldiers can come in after closing the gate."

"Come here, ring the gong to gather the crowd, and let the little ones get ready for battle."

"Boom, boom, boom."

The village of Erlongshan began to gather minions to prepare to meet the enemy.

Qin Guan, Xiong Da and Xiong Er led the Xiang army to the foot of Erlong Mountain. It was already evening. Qin watched the time too late, and the night battle was not good for him, so he ordered to set up camp and make a fire for cooking.

The three rode close to Erlong Mountain Village to observe the terrain.

The Erlong Mountain Village is built on the mountain. In front of the gate of the village, there is a ditch five or six meters wide, seven or eight meters deep, with a river flowing through it. There are huge rocks and cliffs on both sides, which is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this moment, the Zhaimen Suspension Bridge has been hung up. Looking from a distance, one can see that there are also people on the Zhaimen Arrow Stack looking over here to observe the situation of the officers and soldiers.

Qin Guan asked Xiong Da: "Is there any way to break through this gate."

Xiong Dao: "There are many ways to siege the city. For example, the ditch in front of the gate is not wide. You can use the cloud board to build a bridge directly, rush to break through the gate, and then you can rush in."

"You can also fill in the soil and use it as a beam, but this method is slower. Or you can directly attack and burn down the gate of the village. If you have a trebuchet, it is easier. These cottages are all made of wood. If you bombard them directly, they will fall apart within a few rounds. "

Qin Guan nodded, "The soldiers are really tired after driving for more than 100 miles today. We will launch a siege tomorrow and use whatever methods you think of in front of this small village."

"Before I didn't agree with your suggestion. The main reason I used Song Ke's identity to deceive Wang Song was to train soldiers. You should fight every battle as if it were a real war. When we come out this time, Mainly to improve the overall quality of soldiers.”

Xiong Daxiong nodded yes.

In fact, the real reason is that there are only 8 face-changing masks left, Qin Guan is reluctant, and these soldiers really need to exercise, so they chose the most stupid method, attacking.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky had just dawned, and the bandits, who hadn't slept all night, were now a little sluggish. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The officers and soldiers are attacking."

This voice immediately made everyone sleepy.

Picking up bows, arrows, knives and guns one by one, looking nervously into the distance.

The officers and soldiers advanced unhurriedly, and stopped two hundred steps away from the gate of the village. Xiong Da raised his hand to signal the troops to stop, and then someone lit a torch, and the archer took out a rocket, lit it on the torch, and ran to About a hundred steps away, he began to throw rockets into the cottage.

Whoosh whoosh.

Arrows with flames flew towards the gate of the cottage.

A thousand archers are very powerful when they shoot rockets. The leader Wang Song was startled, and immediately shouted: "Archers, counterattack, counterattack."

"whoosh.. whoosh"

The cottage began to counterattack, shooting sporadic arrows.

However, after the officers and soldiers archers shot the rockets, they ran back quickly without stopping for a moment. When the bandits started to fight back, they had already run out of the distance involved with the bows and arrows.

Aggressive.

The rockets were set up on the wooden doors and wooden walls of the cottage, with cloth strips soaked in kerosene on them, and they started to explode after sticking to the wood.

There were even some unlucky bandits who were directly shot by rockets and died miserably on the spot.

Wang Song was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Fire, put out the fire, put out the fire."

Qin Guan, who was watching the battle from a distance, nodded, and the Rockets were very effective against Muzhai.

The commander of the archers shouted again: "Rockets are ready, the second round."

"whoosh whoosh"

Pieces of rockets flew out again, overwhelming the sky.

After three rounds, the entire village gate in Erlong Mountain was ablaze.

boom,

The Zhaimen was overwhelmed and finally collapsed.

The sword and shield soldiers rushed forward, carrying countless cloud boards temporarily made of mountain wood, set them up on the ravine, and began to charge.

Wang Song gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, let's retreat and defend the Yixian Gorge."
