The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1334 The Battle of Mang Mountain

Guizizhai is located in the primeval forest of Mangshan Mountain, with deep canyons, thousands of feet of waterfalls, and cliffs covering the sky and sun. Walking in the canyon is gloomy and gloomy, like stepping on the ghost road of the underworld, so the place is called Guizizhai. stronghold.

Wu Jun set up checkpoints at several dangerous passes in Guizizhai. Although the main force of Wu Jun was not in Guizizhai, as the first pass of the entire Mangshan defense line, Shen Ying still sent a lot of soldiers to garrison. It is dangerous, as long as it can stop the Han army from achieving its goal.

The more complicated the terrain is, the more beneficial it is for the Han army who is good at fighting in the mountains. Although the Wu army guards the dangerous place of Guizizhai, the intricate terrain and strange peaks and rocks provide the Han army with cover close to the target. Seeing that the Han army was constantly approaching, they also tried to shoot arrows to block the advance of the Han army, but the dense forest provided the springboard and platform for the Han army to advance. One tree to another tree was completely a natural bunker. The Han army approached the Wu army's checkpoint without much effort.

In this kind of dense forest and complex terrain, using bows and arrows is almost useless, because bows and arrows will not turn, and the arrows will go straight. There are a lot of bunkers, and the concept of bows and arrows hurting people is extremely low.

But the firearms of the Han army are different. Once thrown, they can at least cause lethality within a radius of about one foot. The only shortcoming of firearms is that they must be thrown by human power. The distance of the bow and arrow, so it is not as easy to use as a bow and arrow when used on flat ground.

But in this kind of deep mountains and dense forests, bows and arrows are almost useless, but the Han army approaching the front of the checkpoint can use grenades.

One after another, bamboo tube grenades were thrown out, causing Wu soldiers to howl like ghosts and wolves. They thought they would be safe and sound hiding behind the pass, but these firearms ignored the defense at all, and directly blew up Wu Jun's checkpoint to pieces, causing heavy casualties. Retreat without embarrassment.

The Han army, on the other hand, was very imposing and launched continuous attacks. After conquering Guizizhai, they followed the same pattern and successively conquered the dangerous positions of Mengkengshi and Yazishi, and approached the main peak of Mangshan Mountain.

Shen Ying couldn't help being very depressed. It stands to reason that the more steep terrain should be beneficial to the defenders, but the situation is now reversed. The barriers set up by the Wu army cannot prevent the Han army from approaching, and once the Han army enters dozens of Within the scope of one step, fatal consequences will occur.

The Han army frequently used firearms to attack, making Wu Jun's defense line impossible to resist. Guizizhai, Mengkengshi, and Yazishi were all dangerous places, but unfortunately they couldn't be defended, and they were all lost. In the hands of the Han army.

But now, all the Wu troops have retreated to the main peak of Mang Mountain, preparing to fight the Han army here, but the geographical location of the main peak is not much better than that of the Yazishi area. The only advantage is the height of the main peak, which is determined by other passes. unattainable.

But the worse situation is that the terrain around the main peak is more complicated, and the primeval forest is more lush. If the Han army continues to use the previous method, how can the Wu army resist it.

An official under his command said to Shen Ying: "What the Han army relies on is firearms, but to use firearms, at least you have to be close. The mountains and forests here are dense, which can provide convenience for the Han army. Why don't you take advantage of the northwest wind and set fire to it?" Burn all these dense forests, so that the Han army has no place to hide."

This plan was in Shen Ying's arms. At this time, Tiangong was also more beautiful. The northwest wind was blowing and he set fire to the mountain. Not only could the mountains and forests where the Han army hid be wiped out, but the fire rushed to the south, and the Han army Dodging is a difficulty.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Ying ordered to set fire to the mountain immediately. The raging fire started from the main peak of Mangshan Mountain and spread all the way to the south, and the fire became more and more intense.

The offensive momentum of the Han army was also blocked by the fire. No matter how powerful the Han army was, they could not cross the line of fire. However, they could choose to retreat in the face of the fire. This forest fire could not kill anyone.

After Liu Yin heard the news, his brows were furrowed. Shen Ying was so despicable that she couldn't win a war, so she would use this kind of heresy to destroy a good virgin forest in his hands.

Fortunately, a few days later, there was a sudden heavy rain, which extinguished the forest fire. Otherwise, the entire Mangshan Mountain and even the entire Nanling Mountain might be completely burned up. It can't be seen that such a perverse approach will cause heavy rain to show punishment.

However, Shen Ying didn't care. After all, he set off such a fire, and his goal was achieved. The entire mountain in front of the main peak became bare and unobstructed. The Han army's idea of ​​relying on these forests to advance forward was probably in vain. Now, Wu Jun's defensive pressure has become a lot easier.

However, this obviously did not bother Liu Yin. Wu Jun set fire to the mountain, and only the forest to the south of the main peak was burned, while the forest to the north of the main peak was still safe and sound, but there was a cliff and no one could climb it.

Liu Yin once again called Ah Jian to the front, and entrusted him with the arduous task of detouring to the rear wing of the Wu army.

Without saying a word, A Jian set off with [-] plays. For so many years, as long as it is an urgent, difficult and dangerous task, it must be A Jian. , there is nothing impossible.

For those precipices that make ordinary people daunting, A Jian and others walked on the ground as if they were on the ground. They quickly crossed three cliffs and unexpectedly appeared behind the main peak of Wu Jun.

In order to cooperate with A Jian's surprise attack on the rear wing, the Han army launched an attack from the front mountain to the main peak of Mangshan Mountain. However, without the cover of the forest, it would be extremely difficult for the Han army to approach the main peak under the dense arrow rain of the Wu army. If you can't get close to the target, you can't use firearms. The Han army's offensive was blocked for a while, and the progress was not good.

However, the feint attack from the front mountain provided cover for A Jian who was attacking from the back mountain. Under Wu Jun's negligence, A Jian sent [-] warriors to approach Wu Jun's camp secretly, and suddenly used a grenade to forcefully open a road, rushing forward. into the top of the mountain.

Facing the front and back attacks of the Han army, the Wu army was in chaos, and Shen Ying couldn't figure out where the Han army came from, and was at a loss.

With the cooperation of A Jian, Luo Shang led the Han army to launch a fierce attack in Qianshan, changing the feint attack into a real attack. The Wu army could not resist and retreated steadily.
