The last three kingdoms

Chapter 830 Fighting Cold Mountain Fortress Again

The battles fought by the Shu army in the past two years have been really aggrieved. They have been chased and beaten by the Huns, encircled and suppressed in autumn, encircled and suppressed in spring, and endless encirclement and anti-encirclement operations. Fighting back in a desperate situation, although the Shu army was never overwhelmed by the Huns, for the soldiers of the Shu army, such a battle was indeed very depressing, and they all longed for that kind of hearty and hearty battle.

Such an opportunity has always been difficult to find, but today is finally the day when the Shu army can feel proud.

After the three armies joined forces to encircle Hanshan Fortress, Liu Yin did not give the Huns any respite, and immediately attacked Hanshan Fortress from east and west.

In the west, Luo Xi led the Yong'an Army to attack the Hanshan Fortress. This is the old road when the Shu army attacked the Hanshan Fortress. The narrow pass and the relatively steep slope made the attack more difficult.What's more, the Hanshan Fortress was only a semi-finished product. When the Shu army attacked, the Huns had not yet entered the fortifications, so they could only fight the Shu army outside the fortifications.

Even so, the first round of the Shu army's attack still paid a lot of casualties, and the strong attack was unsuccessful. It was still relying on A Jian to lead the special forces to touch the high ground on the left mountain, and from there to fight hard from the top, it was considered a general. The army was defeated and the Cold Mountain Fortress was taken.

But now the fortifications of the Huns have been built long ago. The solid stone fortress is harder than the shell of a tortoise. The Huns hide behind the castle, which can offset most of the arrow attacks of the Shu army. People don't need to waste too many arrows, and they can easily suppress the attack of the Shu army, not to mention that they also have such big killers as rolling wood and rocks. The first round of attack by the Yong'an army failed very quickly. .

In the east, the joint attack of the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Tiger Infantry Army did not find any bargains. Although the terrain in the east is gentler than that in the west, the Tiger Cavalry Army and the Tiger Infantry Army invested more troops than the Yong'an Army. But in the face of the Huns' iron barrel-like defense, they were really helpless.

The first round of attack was purely tentative, but the result made the Shu army a little discouraged. Under such an overwhelming advantage, the Shu army couldn't get any cheap. It seems that this cold mountain fortress is not so easy to achieve. Take it down.

"General, are you thinking of attacking Hanshan Pass through other means? I remember that Ajian climbed the mountain to the north last time. Do you need to try again?" Huang Chong asked Ajian to attack the highland on the left. I still can't forget the matter, so I asked Liu Yin if he could adopt such a trick, and he could get a miraculous effect.

Liu Yin shook his head lightly. The Huns are not fools. The place where they suffered a loss last time will definitely strengthen their defenses. It is almost impossible for the Shu army to launch a surprise attack there again.

Of course, this is also the conclusion after Liu Yin sent people to conduct a field survey. He pointed to the peaks on both sides of the fortress, and said: "The Huns suffered a loss once, and they definitely don't want to suffer a second time. Look at the peaks over there. All the roads leading to the top have already been cleared by the Huns, and it is almost impossible to use such methods."

Of course, Huang Chong also knew that the Huns would take certain measures. This question only showed that he was very unwilling. In fact, Huang Chong also understood that the Huns would 100% make up for this loophole. They failed once. It is also enough for the Huns to remember. If the same place makes the Huns fail twice, unless the Huns' brains are burned out.

But this is also the only effective method for the Shu army. The last time it was able to quickly take down the Hanshan Fortress, it was entirely thanks to that sneak attack. It was very tragic.

The eyes of all the generals turned to Liu Yin, and there was no sound now. Everyone knew that Liu Yin would come up with unique tricks every time at this critical moment to break the deadlock.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Liu Yin smiled and said, "It seems that I can't hide my secrets anymore."

The tentative results of the first round proved that the Huns' defensive strength was much stronger than before. If they wanted to take down the Hanshan Fortress by storm, the Shu army would have to pay several times more casualties than the opponent.

There are 5000 defenders of the Huns, twice as many as 1, and twice as many as [-]. If the number is three times or five times more, all the Shu troops at the bottom of the mountain will be wiped out, and they may not be able to take down Hanshan fortress.Moreover, Liu Yin has always disapproved of such an exhausting style of play. Liu Yin generally cannot bear the result of killing one thousand enemies and damaging himself by eight hundred. What's more, the casualties are more than the enemy, which makes Liu Yin Can not accept.

If the strong attack fails, Liu Yin still has a certain method, otherwise such a massive action by the Shu army will end in haste in the end, wouldn't it greatly damage the morale of the Shu army?

With an order, Liu Yin ordered the killer to be pushed out.

The generals couldn't help being stunned when they saw it. Isn't this a catapult?
People in the military are familiar with catapults. This kind of siege weapon is basically used in siege operations, but it doesn't seem to be very useful for attacking fortresses like fortresses. After all, the distance is too long. It is difficult for the catapult to play its due effect.

Chang Hai inside the fortress also saw the catapults launched by the Shu army, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The Shu people are poor, and they want to take Hanshan Pass with just a few catapults? Really? Fantastic!"

However, Chang Hai soon stopped laughing, and the catapults were lined up at the foot of the mountain, but they did not use stone bombs, but placed stone mines or cluster grenades tied together The catapult was placed on the position where the stone bomb was placed, and after igniting the fuze, it was thrown out.

If catapults can be called stone cannons, then these stone mines can be called artillery.Due to the bulkiness of the stone bombs, you must approach the pass if you want to hit the target, but this is very easy to be counterattacked and destroyed by the enemy. Nowadays, throwing stone mines can be thrown at a relatively long distance. Even if the Huns want to destroy it, that is beyond reach.

The power of stone mines is much greater than that of stone bombs. A violent explosion rang out in the fortress. Although the fortress made of stones could not be shaken to a certain extent, every stone mine or cluster grenade was When the fortress explodes, it must be blood and flesh, which is horrible.

The Shu army at the foot of the mountain cheered thunderously. These artillery shots were fired so happily that the Shu army rushed towards the fortress in one breath, taking advantage of the residual power of the firearms.
