The last three kingdoms

Chapter 777

Mountain warfare has the characteristics of mountain warfare. The Xiongnu cavalry has been galloping outside the Great Wall for a long time. Their main battlefields are on the vast grasslands and deserts. Mountain warfare is definitely a new way of fighting for them. After moving to Bingzhou, he spent most of his time on the banks of the Fenshui River, which is rich in water and grass, and never fought across the mountains.

Liu Yannian led the Xiongnu soldiers to the Laoyeling area, thinking that he would refuse to defend against the natural danger, but he obviously underestimated the mountain combat capabilities of the Shu Army. Fighting in the mountains, as the most elite mountain combat unit of the Shu Army, Wudang Flying Army has accumulated a lot of experience in this area, not to mention that Luliang Mountain is not at the same level as the majestic Qinling Mountains In their eyes, Luliang is nothing more than a few small mounds.

The Wudang flying army has its own unique skills in fighting in the mountains. They are very good at breaking the whole into parts and cleverly using the terrain. The defensive network composed of human arrows, rain, wood and stone is useless, and after paying a small price, they can easily attack the front of the Xiongnu's stronghold.

Originally, Liu Yannian thought that he could stop the Shu army by virtue of the terrain, but the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed as soon as the battle started.

Liu Yannian was impatient. If the wall of the village was breached, then Laoyeling Dazhai might not be able to hold it. Now that it was a critical time, Liu Yannian put all his troops on it and fought desperately to hold Shu Army offensive.

The arrows of the Xiongnu army are quite dense, but if such a rain of arrows is used against the infantry phalanx, it can indeed receive miraculous effects, but the "informal" combat method of Wudang Feijun makes most of the arrows of the Huns If it fails, even the scary-looking log can't cause substantial damage to Wudang Flying Army.

Some Shu soldiers faced the roaring log, and they did not hide or dodge. When the log rolled down in front of them, they lay down on the ground, and the log rolled over him directly, which made people terrified.But after the log passed, the soldier stood up unscathed.It turned out that the soldier had already set his sights on a small slope, and knew that when the log fell, he would jump when it reached the small slope. As long as he hid under the small slope, he could dodge the log.

However, this size has to be very precise, even if it is slightly wrong, if you are hit by a rolling log, you will die without a place to bury you. The method is to avoid the rolling wood, and the play is a heartbeat.

The Wudang Flying Army also has various means of attacking. When approaching the enemy's stronghold, it does not blindly adopt the method of forceful attack, but uses a large number of bows and arrows to shoot and kill the Huns. The Wudang Flying Army is also equipped with A lot of Yuanrong crossbows and close-range covering attacks caused the Huns soldiers to cause extremely heavy casualties.

This attack method is the ingenuity of Wudang Feijun. When the general army attacks the enemy city or the enemy village, once it is only a few dozen steps away from the enemy city or the enemy village, it will use the method of forcibly breaking through. Regardless of casualties, regardless of the cost, the enemy's camp must be broken first.

But this kind of tactics of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred will cost a considerable price even if they break through the enemy's camp, and Wudang Feijun, who has experienced combat for a long time, will naturally not do this kind of loss-making business. After reaching a certain distance from the enemy camp, they slowed down their progress instead, and used a large number of crossbow arrows and spears to attack the Huns guarding the camp, mainly to kill and wound the vital forces of the Huns. As long as it can effectively kill the enemy's vital forces, it will be a matter of course to take down the stronghold sooner or later.

Liu Yin was not prepared to take Laoyeling cottage with only one attack a day. Today's first attack was tentative, but the powerful fighting power of Wudang's flying army made the Huns' defense line frequently tense. , Thousands of soldiers and horses were lost. If the Shu army hadn't taken the initiative to retreat, Liu Yannian would not know how today's battle would end.

The main reason why Wudang Feijun voluntarily retreated was that after a day of fierce fighting, it was getting late, and many uncertain factors in the attack at night would lead to increased casualties of one's own army, so Liu Yin took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

Zhang Le also complained about this, thinking that as long as he worked harder, it shouldn't be difficult to take Laoyeling before dark.

Liu Yin smiled slightly. Gains and losses in one city and one place have never been the goal Liu Yin pursues. On a cruel battlefield, survival is the first rule. Only by preserving one's own strength can one survive on the battlefield. Both losers and losers. , Although it can be quick for a while, but in the end of the battle, it will become more and more difficult, and there is even the possibility of a final collapse, because in the end, it is very likely that there will be no soldiers to send and no generals to send.

Of course, it is impossible to fight without death, and it is impossible to have no cost of casualties, but how to exchange the smallest cost for the greatest victory is the art of war.

It was for this reason that Liu Yin did not attack the master Xiongnu camp. In the final analysis, Liu Yannian's troops were a partial division, and even Liu Meng who was stationed in Jinyang was also a partial division. The real main force of the Huns was the army in Liu Yuan's hands. Before a decisive battle with Liu Yuan, it was impossible for Liu Yin to spend his troops on the contest with these partial divisions.

When attacking Laoyeling, Liu Yin was going to use the method of encroachment, using the experience of Wudang Flying Army in mountain warfare, to gradually invade and wipe out the Huns' troops. On the first day of the confrontation, Wudang Flying Army killed thousands of enemies at the cost of hundreds of casualties Man, this kind of harvest is better than Liu Yin's expectation. I believe that if this pattern continues, Liu Yannian will not last for a few days at all.

"Second brother, go down and rest first, it's not too late to fight tomorrow." Liu Yin patted Zhang Le's shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Le didn't say anything more. In fact, he admired Liu Yin from all sides. At the beginning, everyone thought that Shu's defeat was doomed. Only Liu Yin raised the banner of the Northern Expedition and opened up a new world. Liu Yin, there will never be the Shu Han today, no matter what strategy Liu Yin adopts in the future, Zhang Le will support him without hesitation.

Because, it is a kind of trust, Zhang Le believes that under the leadership of Liu Yin, the Shu Han will definitely rule the world.
