The last three kingdoms

Chapter 887 Baodu Mountain

The sharp offensive of the Shu army made Liu Qin and Zhao Gu gasp. They had expected that the Xiongnu army could defend the post road at Jingxingkou for several months, but the reality was that it only took three days. The army pushed forward like a broken bamboo to Baodu village.

Baodu Mountain is already the last danger at the foot of Taihang Mountain. After passing Baodu Mountain, you will enter the endless Jizhong Great Plain, and the Huns will have no danger to defend.In the previous ten passes, the Huns fought and retreated at the same time, but when they retreated to Baodu Mountain, there was no way out. Liu Qin had no choice but to gather all the remaining troops and prepare to swear to death World War I.

Baodu Mountain stands among the peaks of the Taihang Mountains, but it is a protruding peak, majestic and majestic, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, looking from a distance like a giant Buddha lying on his back, with perfect facial features, and the top of the mountain is as flat as a barren land, with fertile fields and fertile soil. One hundred acres, a strange land, lush vegetation, like a paradise.

The Huns built an extremely strong stronghold on Baodu Mountain. Since there are good fields and clear springs on the mountain, which are enough to feed thousands of people, the Huns tried to build Baodu Village into an indestructible camp as the last line of defense for Jingxingkou.

Due to the extreme height of the mountain, the catapults of the Firearms Battalion cannot throw stone mines to the top of the mountain. If you want to use the catapults, you must place the catapults halfway up the mountain.The mountain of Baodu Mountain is extremely steep, and many areas are steep slopes close to [-] degrees. It is extremely difficult for a heavy catapult to advance to the middle of the mountain, and even if it can advance to the middle of the mountain, it is extremely difficult It is easy to be attacked by the Huns rolling wood and beating stones, and it is impossible to gain a foothold at all.

A Jian walked around the foot of Baodu Mountain, but couldn't find the ideal attacking position, so he shook his head and gave up.

Without the assistance of the Firearms Battalion, the Shu army's attack would naturally be much weaker. Fu Zhu and Gao Yuan both looked embarrassed. Without the suppression of firearms, it would not be easy for the Shu army to capture such a dangerous Baodu village.

However, Zhang Le did not believe in evil. Although Baodu Mountain was dangerous, it was like walking on flat ground for Wudang Feijun. After Zhang Le led his army to reach the foot of Baodu Mountain, he immediately launched an attack on the top of the mountain.

Many parts of Baodu Mountain are close to straight cliffs, and there is only one small path that can really pass through, and this small path is completely carved out of the cliff wall, with twists and turns, winding up the mountain, winding like a snake.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Wudang Flying Army to attack Baodu Village along this small path. That path can only accommodate one person. If the Wudang Flying Army lined up to attack, wouldn't it be very easy for the Huns to defend? , Wanfu is not allowed.

At this time, it is time to give full play to the strengths of the Wudang flying army. Seeing that they are as agile as apes, climbing the steep and steep cliffs sensitively, and there is no feeling of sluggishness and hardship. The danger, like walking on flat ground, made the Tiger Cavalry Army and Tiger Infantry Army who were sighing at the mountains below envious.

The Wudang Flying Army's mountain combat ability is absolutely unparalleled in the world. They can indeed climb those daunting cliffs as if they are walking on flat ground. This has a lot to do with their years of fighting in the dangerous environment of Bashanshushui , although this Wudang flying army is no longer the brave and double team that has been for decades, but the tradition of Wudang flying army has been inherited without reservation, allowing this ace division to survive through the years. Precipitation is still glorious.

Liu Qin and Zhao Gu watched from the top of the mountain that the Shu army had already surrounded Baodu Mountain, but seeing that they were helpless against attacking the mountain, Liu Qin and Zhao Gu were in a good mood, and it didn’t matter if Baodu Mountain was surrounded , the Huns have stored a large amount of grain and grass on the top of the mountain, enough to last for a long time, and there are good fields on the top of the mountain that can be cultivated, so Liu Qin is not worried about the problem of cutting off the grain and grass at all. Persistence is the ideal result that Liu Qin most wants to see.

But I never thought that the Shu army would launch an attack after hesitating for a while, and they didn't attack along the small path, but climbed up from the cliffs.

Liu Qin hurriedly ordered the archers of the Xiongnu army to shoot at it. For a while, the arrows were like weaving, covering almost half of the mountain.

The top of Baodu Mountain is lush with vegetation, but the vegetation on the mountainside is sparse. Not to mention the tall trees, even the low shrubs are hard to see. The bare cliffs are almost bare except for the exposed rocks. Anything else, in such an environment, it is indeed a very difficult thing for the Wudang Flying Army to advance forward. With nowhere to hide, the Wudang Flying Army can only rely on shields to resist.

In order to ensure the flexibility of fighting in the mountains, the Wudang Flying Army did not choose the shields that are large and thick and square, which can cover them from head to toe. The shields they use are thin and small round Shaped shield, the diameter of this kind of shield is only about two feet, it can only barely protect the torso, head and limbs of the body, it can't cover it at all.

Therefore, under the heavy rain of arrows from the Huns, the Wudang Flying Army was unable to move forward. Many soldiers were wounded by arrows and had to retreat. The first attack failed like this.

Zhang Le was in a hurry at the bottom. It seemed that the myth of Wudang Flying Army's invincibility was about to end in Baodu Mountain. Zhang Le was dissatisfied and ordered Wudang Flying Army to reorganize its forces and prepare to launch a second attack. times of storming.

However, Liu Yin who had just arrived stopped Zhang Le's actions and ordered the troops surrounding the mountain to temporarily withdraw and set up camp at the foot of the mountain. After stabilizing their position, they tried to attack again.

Zhang Le said anxiously: "Brother, this vigorous effort will weaken again and again. If we take down Bubaodu Mountain today, the morale of the army will be greatly affected. Even if we attack again tomorrow, there is nothing we can do!"

Liu Yin didn't seem anxious, and calmly said: "Our army has been fighting for days and is very tired. Let's go down to the village first, take a rest, and then worry about the long-term. Second brother, I can't eat hot tofu in such a hurry."

Naturally, Zhang Le did not dare to disobey Liu Yin's order, so he just muttered: "If you wait any longer, the day lily will be cold. Brother, look, the mountain is so high that the firearms battalion is useless at all. The flying army, other armies can only sigh at Wangya, but the Huns' defense is so tight, even the flying army can't break through their defense line, I think it's very difficult to attack Baodu Mountain."

Liu Yin said: "Second brother, go down and rest first. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. If there is any way, let's talk about it tomorrow."
