The last three kingdoms

Chapter 803 Battle of Cold Mountain Fortress
In front of the Hanshan Pass, there is a relatively open slope. The Hanshan Fortress is located at the pass. The peaks on both sides are as straight as a knife.

Since the Hanshan Fortress was still under construction, the Huns guarding the pass were not stationed in the fortress, but scattered around the pass.

Obviously, the surprise attack of the Shu army caught the Huns by surprise. No one expected that the Shu army would launch a sudden attack at this time. Originally, many Huns were still basking in the sun on the hillside leisurely, enjoying themselves. In the warm sunshine of late spring.

But the sudden attack of the Shu army completely disrupted the rhythm of the Huns. The buglers immediately blew the horns to meet the enemy's attack. Picking up their weapons, they gathered in the direction of the fortress.

Luta also rushed to the front line in three steps and two steps. Seeing the surging Shu army, there were at least 1 troops. Luta was not afraid at all, even though there were only 3000 people stationed in the Hanshan Fortress. However, based on the dangerous terrain, the Huns are fully capable of competing with the Shu army.What's more, the time for Luta to hold on is also limited. Now that Liu Yuan of Huguan receives the news, he will send reinforcements to the Hanshan area as quickly as possible. According to the estimated distance, the Huns' army only needs one day. You can reach Hanshan.

So for Luta, how to stick to these twelve hours does not seem to be too difficult. Although the Cold Mountain Fortress is still a half-finished product, it is more than enough to deal with the Shu people.

Although the Xiongnu soldiers were relatively scattered, their good fighting qualities allowed them to be in place quickly. The soldiers of the Hu people were far superior to the soldiers of the Han soldiers in terms of individual combat capabilities. This was related to their living environment. Hu From the moment people are born, they have to face the bloody living environment. Under the tempering of constant vendetta, the weak are eliminated, and only the fittest can survive. Every soldier of the Hu nationality will become a wrestler.

The two sides quickly entered the battle, first of all, the two sides fired each other from a long distance.Feathered arrows drew arcs in the air with whistling sound, and were thrown towards the opponent's position.

To deal with dense crowds, bows and arrows don't need much precision in shooting. Density and frequency are the focus of both sides' pursuit. Suddenly, the arrows rained down, and even the bright sky turned dark a bit.

However, although there are many arrows, they cause very little substantial damage. As the offensive side of the Shu army, every soldier is fully armored. The lethality of bows and arrows is inversely proportional to the range, and short-distance shooting can penetrate the armor. It is difficult to penetrate at a long distance. The so-called strength of the end of the crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Jin. It's a little bit flashy and extremely hot, but it doesn't do much real damage.

With the advancement of the Shu army, the distance between the two sides was further shortened, and the power of the arrows could be revealed at this time. The arrows of the Huns were so powerful that they could penetrate the weak parts of the Shu army's armor and kill the Shu army's weak points. life.

At this time, the shields in the hands of the Shu soldiers can play a huge role. These square wooden shields are large and thick, which can effectively protect the vital parts of the Shu soldiers. Most of the arrows of the Huns fell on the shields. Sharp arrows can't pierce the shield. There are several arrows left on the shield on each side. There are even a dozen arrows at most, densely packed, like hedgehogs. It is not difficult to imagine that if there is no shield, these arrows will Most likely they will all be shot at people.

Even so, on the way the Shu army was advancing, some soldiers kept falling down. The rain-like arrows could always find a gap to kill the Shu soldiers, thus giving them a fatal blow.

Of course, the Shu army did not rest. During the attack, they kept using bows and arrows to cover the attacking troops. Soldiers from the Huns were also shot and killed one after another.

Fortunately, the Huns hid in the semi-finished fortifications and still had a certain cover advantage. Although the arrow rain of the Shu army was relatively dense, the damage to the Huns was still limited.

As the distance between the two sides approached, the density and strength of the arrows increased, and new casualties continued to increase, but this did not seem to shake the determination of the Shu army to attack.

In front of the Hanshan Fortress, there is a relatively steep slope, like a fan shape, with a relatively open front end, and the more you go up, the narrower it becomes.This kind of terrain is obviously not good for the attackers. The Shu army rushed towards the steep slope with great difficulty, and the rolling wood and rocks roared down from the top of the mountain, smashing down their heads.

At this time, the armor and shield were already unable to parry. The rolling log, which was more than a foot long and thicker than the waist, rolled down from the top of the mountain, almost with the power to sweep away thousands of troops, crushing all the way down. A single log is enough to sweep away the Shu army, and more than a dozen of the logs fell together. The momentum is almost overwhelming. If the Shu army can't find a suitable hiding place, in front of the thick log, it is almost impossible. There is little room for escape.

Coupled with the countless falling stones, they would die when touched and injured when touched, the flesh and blood of the Shu soldiers could not resist at all.Soon, the first wave of the Shu army's attack was repelled.
On the hillside, there were hundreds of corpses of Shu soldiers lying all over the place. The first time they attacked the Shu army, they paid a heavy price.

Gao Yuan, who was in charge of the command, frowned. Although he knew that it would be quite difficult to conquer these dangerous passes, he did not expect that the first wave of the Shu army's attack would be so brutal, especially because the Shu army had no There was no chance to approach the enemy's camp, and they were forced to retreat only halfway up the hillside.

Gao Yuan also knew very well that the Shu army could not afford to delay this battle and had no time to fight slowly. Once the Huns saw through the intention of the Shu army to advance eastward, a large number of reinforcements would arrive soon. At that time, the Hanshan Pass would be broken again. , Trying more and more to reach the sky.

I originally thought that the Hanshan Pass had not yet been built, and it would be relatively easy to win, but I didn't expect the Huns' defense to be so tenacious. This battle was destined to be difficult.

However, Gao Yuan did not give up. The Shu army must make a breakthrough in this campaign. If it fails, it can only be trapped in Guyuan, and it will eventually end in destruction.

"Prepare the Death Squad, launch a strong attack, and vow to take down Hanshan Pass!" Gao Yuan ordered coldly.

The first wave of attacks was a bit tentative, but the second time was different. Gao Yuan dispatched his elite and was ready to give it a go.

　I have something to do today, the update is late, there is only one update tonight, sorry.
