Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1020 Bloody Battle at Black Sun Peak

Going out in silence, advancing in silence, running in silence, the battle has already begun, but he couldn't hear the shout of killing that made him boil, but the silence that made his heart palpitate.

He is the guard at the first checkpoint of Huoyang Pass, the main village of Heiyang Peak, with 1000 men under his command.Looking at the Xiangfu country officer approaching gradually, Dongri Maiti seemed to see contempt from the other party's looking up. Although he knew that the other party could not see him at all, Dongri Maiti felt that way. He was not in her eyes at all.

"Get ready to roll the stone!" He ordered loudly: "I want to see if you will scream when you die!" He gritted his teeth and pounded on the wall of the checkpoint, with the timidity in his expression just now And nervous some irritated.

A round stone ball that was polished these days and weighed nearly a hundred catties was pushed to the pass. Chen Shouxin stared at Ma Zhiyong, the platoon leader of the Volunteer Army who was running at the forefront, and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let it go! Give it to me!" crush him."

In the sound of Dongri Maiti's order, several Xizhou Uighur soldiers exerted their strength together, and the stone ball immediately rolled down the small mountain road.

In the eyes of the platoon leader Ma Zhiyong, the stone ball was getting bigger and closer, and the speed was getting faster and faster. He couldn't help but his face changed slightly, but his body remained still. Immediately, he stepped back with one leg in a lunge shape, turned one shoulder sideways, and pressed against the shield with all his strength. He wanted to bear the impact of the stone ball with his flesh and blood.

The figures around him were shaking, and it was the squad leaders behind him who grabbed a few steps in front of him. With the same movement, their platoon leaders were blocked behind them, and more soldiers crowded forward, their shields stood on the ground, and they used His shoulders pressed against the shield with all his strength.

The next moment, with a bang, the stone ball slammed heavily on the shields in the first row. The shields were shattered, and the bones of the two soldiers in front were shattered. Blood spurted wildly from their mouths, and they fell limply. After one blow was blocked, the stone ball ran over their corpses and hit the shields of the soldiers in the second row again. Amidst the rattling sound, the shields were dented inward, and the sound of someone's shoulder fracture could be clearly heard, but after The supporting legs never wobbled at all.The stone bullet stopped, and immediately several soldiers rushed forward, exerting their strength together, and pushed the stone bullet aside.

The soldiers behind immediately surged forward and advanced rapidly.

Dong Ri Maiti stared at everything in front of him in a daze. If he resisted the impact of the stone ball, he would kill himself. No one could resist such an impact. It is said that some mechanically greeted death and blocked the stone ball at the smallest cost.

"Continue to put stones, don't stop, keep going!" He roared with a slightly trembling voice.

"Bow and Arrow!"

……

……

The same storyline was repeated on this small mountain path of less than [-] steps. The blood stained the trail, and even the bright red liquid could be seen flowing, and the sound of ticking ticking could be heard.The soldiers of the Volunteer Corps marched towards the first checkpoint step by step at the cost of their lives, and then advanced again.

Dongri Maiti finally saw the platoon leader who was the first to set foot on this road fall down. About [-] steps away from the checkpoint, he was shot in the throat by a feather from one of his subordinate archers. Seeing the platoon leader staring at him steadfastly and falling straight down like this, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.It seemed that the depression suppressed in his heart dissipated a lot with the fall of this Xiangfu country officer.

"Ready to fight!" As soon as he breathed out, he felt the whole checkpoint shake, which was because Xiangfu Guobing rushed up and hit the wall.

Because of the terrain, the checkpoints on Heiyang Peak are not high, most of them are only about two or three feet high, but because the attackers need to attack from their backs, the difficulty is comparable to attacking a city wall that is three or four feet high. Of course, the checkpoint walls are far less The walls are so strong.

Everyone was crowded under the wall of the checkpoint, and the rolling stone had completely lost its effect. Dong Ri Maiti picked up a stone weighing more than ten kilograms, stood on top of the wall with a grinning grin, and shouted: "Smash them hard!"

Just after he finished shouting, before he had time to throw the stone in his hand, there were several swishing sounds, and there was a sound of breaking through the air below. Dongri Maiti felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and the stone in his hand fell out, and there was a burst of sound. With a muffled sound, Dong Ri Maiti turned over and fell down. Three feathered arrows brushed his face and shot into the air. He jumped up and pulled out the feathered arrows stuck in the armor on his right arm. Blood spurted out. Dongri Maiti couldn't help but take a deep breath. The Xiangfu Kingdom's fast crossbow really deserves its reputation. The speed of the crossbow is so fast, and it is fired in four bursts, which means that within a certain distance, every Xiangfu equipped with a fast crossbow Chinese soldiers are equivalent to a good archer who can shoot Lianzhu.If he hadn't been weak in martial arts just now, and had taken precautions, he would have been shot to death by the opponent's crossbow in a daze.

The wall of the checkpoint is not high. Although they are attacking upwards, the soldiers of the Volunteer Legion who rushed up completely gave up their own protection and shot crossbow arrows into the city like raindrops with fast crossbows.Fortunately, the soldiers of the Volunteer Legion have excellent armor defense, which can block ordinary arrows, making them less likely to be killed or injured by enemy bows and arrows on the level.But they can't block the stone at such a distance anyway.Every soldier who shoots four arrows from his crossbow will be thrown to the ground by stones or rolling logs, unable to get up again.But above the checkpoint, Dongri Maiti's subordinates also began to suffer large-scale casualties, because Dongri Maiti was able to dodge four bursts of crossbow arrows, but ordinary soldiers did not have this strength, and their armor could not stop Xiang Xiang's attack. Fu Guo's crossbow.

Having learned the lesson of brushing shoulders with death for the first time, Dong Ri Maiti no longer dared to be careless, hid behind the wall, raised his strong bow, aimed at the Xiangfu soldiers under the city, and shot them one by one. Archery is extremely superb. Although the armor of the soldiers of the Volunteer Legion is excellent in defense and they have low-browed face-protecting helmets, they can't protect the throat. Every arrow of Dongri Maiti goes straight to the door of the throat. would take a life.

The corpses under the city gradually piled up, and Dongri Maiti also paid the price of nearly 200 people.

The buzzing sound startled Dongri Maiti. He knew that there were such giant crossbows at the head of the Han city or above the checkpoint, but under the city gate, with such terrain, how could the opponent have a giant gun. Crossbow?
He stood up, and after just one glance, he felt chills all over his body. It turned out that this kind of giant crossbow could still be used in this way, but the unusual giant crossbow could not be used like this.

More than a dozen infantrymen of the Volunteer Legion carried the giant guns and crossbows on their shoulders. The people in front knelt down and the people behind stood upright, forming an artificial platform. The giant guns and crossbows had a stable shooting surface. Looking at Xiangfu Kingdom's unique three-shot short crossbow spear, Dong Ri Maiti felt a little nervous.

He swung his bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, he shot down a soldier who was holding a giant gun and crossbow on his horn, but just as the soldier fell, a person next to him immediately stepped up and raised the giant gun and crossbow again At the same time, several large shields stood up, blocking the soldiers carrying the crossbow.

There was a rapid buzzing sound, and Dongri Maiti shrank his neck subconsciously, and there were three consecutive bangs, three short crossbows and guns in this row shot up against the top of the city wall, and the five soldiers who could not avoid it screamed in pain. In the middle, the one who was shot flew out backwards, falling far behind the level wall.

The sound of thumping was endless, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent set up three giant guns and crossbows in front of the checkpoint, and a short crossbow and guns as thick as a child's arm were firmly inserted into the city wall.Immediately afterwards, soldiers of the Volunteer Corps, like apes, put their sabers in their mouths, alternated their hands, and stepped on the short crossbows and guns stuck in the wall to climb up.

For the first time, there was close hand-to-hand combat on the level. Although the first volunteer soldier who climbed up was killed on the top of the city, it represented the beginning of the melee stage of the siege battle.

With Shi Lang, commander of the first cavalry brigade of the Volunteer Legion as the main force, and Long Dingwu, commander of the second cavalry brigade as deputy, [-] cavalry bypassed Heiyang Peak and pressed towards Shazhou. Send troops to attack your flank.It is located a hundred miles east of Shazhou City.However, Shi Lang's mind was still on the battlefield of Heiyangfeng. He knew very well that there was probably only one battle before the end of the year, and this battle was more critical than the capture of Shazhou City itself.

Because, the defeat of Heiyang Peak will not only deal a huge blow to the morale of the Xizhou Uyghur army, but also there will be no such arduous battles in future wars. big.

Huang Dongqiu also had a similar idea. He believed that as long as Heiyang Peak was defeated, the Xizhou Uyghurs would not be enough to pose a life-and-death threat to the Xiangfu army in the future, whether it was a field battle or a city attack and defense against the Xizhou Uighurs. .

Every hour, a messenger would come from the direction of Heiyangfeng to report the development of the war to Huang Dongqiu. Although the process was expected to be extremely difficult, Huang Dongqiu was still shocked for this reason.

Dang Fuyu's infantry brigade fought for a full morning before finally taking the first pass. Dongri Maiti led hundreds of soldiers, carried the wounded soldiers, and retreated into the second pass after [-] steps. Checkpoint, this checkpoint has three times the strength of the first checkpoint, but it has [-] Xizhou Uighur soldiers, guarded by Dongri Maizha, Dongri Maiti's elder brother.

"Crazy, these Xiangfu soldiers are all crazy!" Dongri Maiti cursed, sitting cross-legged on the ground, the doctor in the Xizhou Uyghur army carefully cut his clothes with a knife. After a fierce battle all morning, Dongri Maiti was injured in many places, his blood clotted, and his clothes were firmly stuck to the wound.

Dongri Maiti grinned and endured the excruciating pain, let out a muffled groan, and couldn't help cursing: "You bastard, I don't know how to be gentle!"
