The last three kingdoms

Chapter 375 The Battle of the Street Pavilion ([-])

The Wei army's attack was both substantive and tentative. Sima Wang was not an expert in this kind of mountainous battle. The strength of the Wei army was field battles in the plains. Mountain warfare is very uncomfortable.

The terrain of Jieting Tushan is quite peculiar. It rises from the wide Jieting pass, and has no connection with the surrounding mountains. It stands there completely alone, although there are no surrounding Longshan mountains. So tall and towering, but it is also straight and steep, completely natural.

The south and north sides of the earth mountain are extremely steep, almost in a vertical state of [-] degrees, and it is extremely difficult to climb. In comparison, the east foot and west foot of the earth mountain are slightly gentler. The Wei army first chose to start from the east foot of the earth mountain. attack.

The narrow mountain road can't accommodate too many troops at all, and the first attack echelon sent by Sima Wang is very crowded with 3000 people.The slope of the mountain road was very steep, and the soldiers of the Wei army had to walk forward with their waists bent.

This section of mountain road has obviously been deliberately "processed" by the Shu army. Except for the road with a width of more than ten feet that can only accommodate more than ten people passing side by side, the rest of the road is either dug into deep pits or cut into cliffs. Impossible to pass through, many Wei soldiers could only climb forward along the road arranged for them by the Shu army.

The top of the mountain seemed very empty, except for the high flying flags and the upright barracks that seemed to tell Wei Bing that there were Shu troops stationed on the top of the mountain, Wei Bing could hardly see any figures, and the air seemed to freeze , with a deathly silence.

The Wei soldiers at the forefront were very nervous and anxious. They knew that there were a large number of Shu troops on the top of the mountain, but they couldn't see anyone, which made them even more anxious. They couldn't predict what would happen next moment, maybe The cold arrows shot out from there will mercilessly take their lives.

On the battlefield, the more intense the battle, the more it can inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers. On the contrary, the death-like silence is undoubtedly a kind of torture, a kind of torment.

Wei Bing, who was on the front line with the shield on his back, only took a hundred or so steps forward, and he was already dripping with cold sweat, and his steps were difficult. Really make it hard for them to walk.

The person in charge of commanding the first wave of attack was Wei Jun Yamen General Hao Zhong, a brave general Sima Wang kissed. Hao Zhong was able to serve as the commander of the first attack, and he was naturally very excited. He was valued by Sima Dadu. This was an opportunity to show his face. Perhaps the fame and wealth of this life are all due to this battle.

Naturally, Hao Zhong didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, he walked in front of the team himself, taking the lead and wanting to show himself well in front of Sima Wang.

However, the soldiers under his command were so disappointing that they lost their chains at the critical moment, and their usual energy was gone. This made Hao Chong furious, and he scolded his soldiers angrily and ordered them to speed up their march. , Those who dare to shrink back will be dealt with in military law.

All the soldiers knew that beheading is the most important thing in military law, Hao Zhong has a bad temper, brave and strict, all the soldiers were afraid, so they had to speed up the march according to the order, and rushed to the top of the mountain with all their strength.

Stretching the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. Anyway, it is a death anyway. These Wei soldiers obviously let go of the burden in their hearts, their morale is high, and their footsteps are also accelerated. Seeing that the distance from the Shu army camp on the top of the mountain is no longer enough It's about a hundred steps.

Fu Qian could see clearly from behind the barracks, but he did not order the attack early.At the foot of the mountain, Fu Qian had already seen the huge formation of 10 troops of the Wei army. He understood that the battle of Jieting would be a protracted and fierce battle, and he had to make long-term and arduous preparations.Wei Jun sent the first wave of attack echelon, obviously did not use their real strength, this time the attack was more tentative, wanting to see how tough the defense of the Shu army on the top of the mountain was.

Fu Qian was unwilling to waste too many arrows. Since the battle of Jieting was a protracted battle, every arrow would be precious.

"Give me an order, no one can shoot an arrow until the Wei soldiers are within range!" Fu Qian ordered in a deep voice, his eyes never leaving the attacking Wei soldiers.

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is at least a range of about two arrows. Shooting in advance will not cause any damage to the Wei soldiers. Only when they enter the effective range of about a hundred steps can the bow and arrow exert their greatest power.

The Wei army was densely crowded in one place, about a dozen people in a row, and dozens of rows of people looked very large. On the not wide mountain road, like locusts, it was almost covered with Wei soldiers.

They crossed the hundred-step line, which was a sign that Fu Qian ordered people to leave on the hillside deliberately, but he did not order an attack. Fu Qian stared at every step of Wei Jun's cold eyes.

Get closer, and get closer, so that the bow and arrow will be more lethal.

After crossing the hundred-step line, Wei Jun's brigade still maintained a relatively fast speed and moved forward.As the distance from the camp of the Shu army is getting closer and closer, the Wei soldiers seem to be a little excited. Generally speaking, the first one to break through the enemy's camp will be rewarded generously. Facing the temptation of huge benefits, they seem to have forgotten to hide. Danger of death behind the barracks, screaming and launching a quick charge to the top of the mountain.

"Seventy steps...sixty steps...fifty steps..." Fu Chen was meditating in his heart, and suddenly two bright lights burst out from his eyes, and he shouted in a low and powerful voice: "Attack!"

The Shu army, which had been hiding behind the barracks for a long time, suddenly burst out at this moment, with killing sounds everywhere, and a red ocean seemed to appear in front of Wei Jun's eyes. Before they were stunned, countless arrows were like a shower Generally descended on their heads.

Although the Wei army was fully prepared to attack the mountain, and the Wei soldiers in charge of the first attack wave were all wearing iron armor and holding shields, but under the attack of the stormy arrow rain without dead ends, the protective measures they took were obviously still It was far from enough. Although the shields in the heavy armor on their bodies blocked many arrows for them, there were always some tricky arrows passing through the layers of protection and giving them a fatal blow.

Most of the Wei soldiers in the first row of the forefront had been shot down by arrows, but the bows and arrows of the Shu army seemed to have no space to stop, and they shot out continuously, lacking the human shields in the first row, and the second row, The third row and even the Wei soldiers in the back also suffered. People kept screaming in despair and fell down on the mountain road.
