Horse on the World

Chapter 242 Fight
Guo Shanfeng showed a solemn look on his face, watching the fierce fighting on the battlefield, the outlying positions had been cleared away a few days ago, and there was no longer a Qingbu soldier outside the Congling Pass, the snake-like soldiers of the Yishan Battalion were Carry out city battles.The long-range strike weapons on the Congling Pass were completely destroyed as early as the first round of confrontation with the Yishan Division. Except for a few catapults hiding in dead corners and throwing a few lone stone bombs from time to time, Badama Ningbu had nothing in his hands.

But the mountain wind still couldn't relax. After losing the trebuchet to suppress the attack of the mountain mover, Badamaningbu actually came up with a wonderful trick. He connected countless pieces of cloth and beasts, and hung them on the wall of the city. In the end, these seemingly soft things unexpectedly resisted the stormy stone-throwing blows of Yishan Master, so that the expected results of Guo Shanfeng did not appear at all.Although the stone bullets directly hit the wall seemed to make the city wall tremble, but Guo Shanfeng knew that the city wall of Congling Pass, which was several meters away from Weda, could not be crushed by stone bullets.

It seems that the battle to join the city will be an extremely tragic battle, and I still underestimated the wisdom of these barbarians.After the Xiong Dewu Department cleared the outer positions, the Jiang Hei Niu Department, which entered the round of battle, began the most difficult battle to take over the city. Under Guo Shanfeng's command, this is the only battalion head that has undergone Dingzhou system recruit training. It can be called the first.To let them launch the first round of attack, Guo Shanfeng also put his heart into it.But right now, it seems unlikely.

The roar of mountains and tsunami interrupted Guo Shanfeng's thoughts, and the charging soldiers quickly built the ladders while running. The ladders produced in Dingzhou are not a whole, but composed of several components. When it is ready to be assembled, it will be disassembled into pieces when not in combat, which is convenient for storage and transportation.The entire ladder is in the shape of a herringbone. Compared with the old-fashioned ladder, it is relatively more stable. The defenders basically cannot use the push rod to push the ladder away.

The large shield soldiers flashed their heavy iron shields to cover the siege soldiers and quickly approached the city wall, and erected the ladder. After the ladder was erected, they quickly drilled under the ladder with their iron shields, acting as the pressing stone of the ladder.The soldiers who attacked the city quickly climbed up the ladder.

The siege vehicle rumbled up and approached the city wall. The soldiers on the vehicle manipulated the crossbows and fired wildly at the barbarians on the city wall.With just one charge, Jiang Hei Niubu climbed up the city wall.

Tienig's loud shouts had not yet ended, and earth-shattering shouts erupted from the city. Countless barbarians rushed up with strong crossbows and bows, waved their weapons, and desperately rushed towards the mountain that had just climbed up. The Dingzhou soldiers at the top of the city were chopped off.

Dingzhou soldiers fell from the top of the city like dumplings.The erected ladder and the siege vehicles near the city wall were splashed with grease, and as the rockets shot at it, flames shot up, and the soldiers wrapped in the fire screamed from the ladder, from the The siege engine fell off and landed on the ground without making a sound, but the flames on his body were still blazing, and a smell of meat spread across the battlefield.

Qingbu soldiers rushed up like crazy, some even put their upper body out of the city wall, stretched their bows and drew arrows, and shot at the soldiers of Yishan camp who were climbing up, and some just poked their heads out when they were waved by the enemy close at hand. Also cut off the head.

The two sides fought desperately. A Dingzhou soldier just jumped onto the city wall and slashed to death the enemy standing in front of him with a knife, but immediately there were more swords and guns coming up to kill them on the spot. Some barbarians even rushed forward , Holding the Dingzhou soldiers who climbed up the city, they fell down the city together.

The first round of attack was quickly defeated. None of the soldiers who climbed up the city were able to return, and all of them were killed on the spot. Seeing the barbarians cheering and throwing the Dingzhou soldiers from the top of the city, Jiang Hei Niu looked Furious, he pulled out Pei Ye from his waist, lifted a heavy ax with the other hand, and shouted: "Attack, follow me and rush up, kill all the barbarians, and kill those who retreat!" He took the lead and rushed to the city wall.

In the army of Yishan Camp, Xiong Dewu pointed to the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Pass the general, Jiang Shen will rush up."

A smile appeared on the corner of Guo Shanfeng's mouth. With Jiang Heiniu's courage, climbing to the top of the city is enough to open up a bridgehead for climbing the city, and use this as a base to expand the territory little by little, and then spread over the top of the city.

Jiang Heiniu lived up to expectations, holding a knife in one hand and an ax in the other, he slashed left and right frantically, beheading each of the barbarians at his feet, within a few meters of the square, heaps of corpses were quickly piled up behind him. , Dingzhou soldiers emerged one after another, jumped onto the city wall, and flocked to Jiang Heiniu's side.

On the top of the city, Qi Luo quickly discovered the danger here. The Dingzhou general rushed left and right. Under his leadership, more and more Dingzhou soldiers rushed up. If they don't stop them, this section of the city wall will inevitably fall.Without saying a word, he rushed forward with a handful of iron bones in hand.

Jiang Hei Niu has already inserted dozens of feather arrows on his body, but because of the excellent armor on his body, although he can barely penetrate the armor, it does not affect him in battle at all.

When there was a loud bang, the heavy ax that had been chopped down was blocked back. This was the first time that someone blocked his heavy ax since he went to the city. Jiang Heiniu immediately knew that a comparable opponent was coming, and he lifted his spirits. Chop down like lightning.Swish Swish three times in a row, Qi Luo gritted his teeth, and slammed down the iron bone in his hand. The two of them went through several moves like lightning, and they were immediately entangled.

Jiang Heiniu was entangled, and the barbarians on the top of the wall finally breathed a sigh of relief, shouting and rushing up, quickly filling the gap that was opened.Some of them rushed to the Dingzhou soldiers who rushed to the top of the city, while the other part rushed to the top of the city.

Seeing the figures of barbarians appearing on the open space at the head of the city just opened up, Guo Shanfeng couldn't help biting his lips tightly, this time the attack on the city failed again. "Ming Jin, tell Jiang Shen to withdraw."

On the top of the city, Jiang Heiniu was startled when he heard the sound of gold clanging below the city. After fighting fiercely with Qi Luo, he realized that there were not many soldiers left around him, and shouted: "Go, retreat!"

Throwing the heavy ax in his hand at Qi Luo, taking advantage of the moment when he shot sideways, he turned around and charged towards the top of the city.The sharp steel knife brought up plumes of blood, and Jiang Hei Niu, who had killed all the way to the top of the city, was heartbroken. There was not a single soldier left around him, and the top of the city he was in, except for one not far away, was still bear The blazing siege engine was empty and empty. Looking back, Qi Luo was approaching with a grin on his face, and blood was dripping from the iron bone in his hand.

Jiang Heiniu looked back at the city, then looked at the proud Qi Luo, yelled loudly, and threw the steel knife in his hand at Qi Luo. When the steel knife was thrown, Jiang Heiniu flew and jumped on The blazing siege engine, holding the pillar with both hands, slid down quickly in the flames, and blood bubbles were burned on the hands in an instant, and a scorched smell radiated.The temperature of the armor rose rapidly, and Jiang Hei Niu felt that he was about to be roasted.

Both feet finally landed on the ground, Jiang Hei Niu fell to the ground, rolled on the ground, extinguishing the flames on his body, soldiers with shields rushed up to block the feather arrows from the city for him, dragged him and ran back .

At this time, Jiang Heiniu had no strength in his body, and he let the soldiers carry him back quickly.

"Retreat! Return to camp!" Guo Shanfeng ordered with a sullen face.

For several days in a row, the attacks of the Dingzhou soldiers all failed, and they were able to kill the top of the city every time. However, in the battle for the top of the city, they were all driven off the top of the city by their opponents without exception. Standing on the ground, several infantry battalions in Guo Shanfeng's hands took turns, but none of them could surpass Jiang Heiniu's first-day attack performance, and as time went by, the Qingbu soldiers became more and more proficient at attacking. Master the skills of defending the city.

"General, such a strong attack is not an option." Jiang Hei Niu, whose head was covered with bandages, looked like a mummy, said.The offensive and defensive battle of Congling Pass reminded him of the Battle of Fuyuan a few years ago, but the positions of the two sides in the war had changed one by one.But in order to survive and achieve a greater strategic goal, the defenders of the city risked their lives to fight the besiegers. When they saw a group of healthy women and some gray-haired veterans appearing on the top of the Congling Pass, Jiang Hei Niu's feeling became stronger.

Guo Shanfeng nodded, "That's right, this method of attack has too many casualties, and it may not be able to break through the Congling Pass. Do you have any better methods?"

Everyone was dazed and clueless, watching Guo Shanfeng and shaking their heads in silence.

"General Guo, I recall that when we were in Fuyuan, Wanyan Bulu used a method, and it was also a stupid method." Jiang Heiniu said.

"What method, tell me quickly, no matter if it is a stupid method or not, as long as it can break through the Congling Pass, even a stupid method is a good method." Guo Shanfeng leaned out his upper body and said eagerly.

"We built a mountain of earth outside the Congling Pass. We only need to build a mile-long earth mountain that is level with the Congling Pass. Through the earth mountain, we can launch an attack on a front line that is one mile long. It's just that this method is time-consuming. Longer. I'm afraid we haven't broken through the Congling Pass within the date set by the commander in chief." Jiang Heiniu said.

Guo Shanfeng murmured, "It is indeed not easy to build such a long, ten-meter-long earth mountain on the ground, but once it is built, it will be easy to capture Congling Pass. The earth hills should be piled as close to the city as possible. If the distance is only a few dozen meters, we can even build a large number of springboards so that the soldiers can directly attack the city through the springboards. If this is the case, the day when the earth mountains are built , When the city was broken, do it, people, what we have now is to let the Shiwei people organize all their troops to take charge of the mountain. They still have nearly [-] soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians. Within ten days, I will I saw the earth mountain was built." Guoshanfeng said loudly.

Inside the Congling Pass, Badama Ningbu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Dingzhou soldiers outside the city were fierce, his tribe was not weak. During these few days of fighting, his soldiers have become stronger and stronger. Underdogs will win!Badaman Ningbu thought in his heart, the people of Dingzhou had pushed themselves into a corner, and there were dead people on the left and right, so let's pull a few more backs.
