Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1021 Bloody Battle at Black Sun Peak (Part [-])
Dongri Maizha was silent, he saw the battle in the morning very clearly, he was horrified by the life-threatening attack of Xiangfu soldiers, Dongri Maiti's thousand defenders could only bring back half of them, and Everyone was wounded, and at least one-third of the people had lost their combat power. Although the casualties of the Volunteer Legion were greater, but with such a large advantage on their own side, under normal circumstances, the casualty ratio should be maintained at the same ratio. Ten or so.However, the actual situation is that the current casualty ratio is at most one to three, and the Volunteer Army captured the first checkpoint, causing more than a thousand casualties.According to this style of play, it is extremely unfavorable to them.

"Take a good rest. I'm going to make an inspection tour. I think the other party will come up again in the afternoon!" Dong Ri Maizha said to Dong Ri Maiti.

"Brother, you must be careful of their fast crossbow and that giant crossbow. I almost died under that fast crossbow just now!" Dong Ri Maiti solemnly warned.

"Don't worry! My attack path before the second level is much longer than your first level. If the opponent wants to attack below the level, the price they will pay will definitely be greater than your first level!"

Under the Heiyang Peak, Dang Fuyu's face was extremely ugly. It's not that the sons are not brave, it's not that they are constantly working hard and sacrificing their lives, but the damn Heiyang Front's terrain is too damn dangerous.The first checkpoint cost more than a thousand people, and one-fifth of their brigade's strength had been lost, but this was only the beginning.Looking up at the lofty second level, which is bigger and more dangerous than the first level, one can imagine that the next battle will be more intense.Looking back at the soldiers who were eating in the camp, Dang Fuyu gritted his teeth and felt very anxious. After this battle, many familiar faces under his command will never be seen again.

People from the medical team of the Volunteer Corps were busy treating the wounded soldiers, and those from the engineer battalion were busy carrying down the dead soldiers one by one, and arranged them in rows next to them. Dang Fuyu walked among the rows of familiar faces Suddenly, his nose felt a little sour. Among them, many of them were his old brothers brought out from Yinzhou!

"This battle can't be fought like this!" Sitting in the tent, Huang Dongqiu said in a deep voice, looking at Dang Fuyu.

"Legion Commander, give your subordinates an afternoon, and your subordinates will definitely be able to win the second checkpoint!" Dang Fuyu was a little anxious. If he just gave up like this or brought up another brigade, the infantry brigade's sacrifice in the morning will not be enough. He won't be in vain, but it is also very limited, and there is still a long way to go before his goal to make his first contribution.

Huang Dongqiu stood up, walked in front of Dang Fuyu, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Haven't you noticed that the enemy's defense center on Heiyang Front is above the second checkpoint. The second level, Huoyang Pass, is actually easier to fight, and it is more conducive to our attack formation. It is conceivable that there must be heavy troops stationed in the second level. According to the way of play in the morning, even if you hit the second level Checkpoint, your infantry brigade will also be disabled, do you want to do something that is not worth the candle?"

"Legion Commander, I..." Dang Fuyu was speechless.

"I didn't mean to say no to fighting. What I meant was that we can't continue fighting like this!" Huang Dongqiu looked into Dang Fuyu's eyes and said solemnly: "Go back and mobilize the whole brigade, and think of ways to maximize the fight." Stop the opponent's terrain advantage! Let's call it a truce this afternoon! After going back, discuss it with your subordinates, anyway, we are not short of a day or two."

Watching Dang Fuyu leave the tent, Zhang Fagui, commander of the Second Infantry Brigade, said, "League Commander, why don't we pass the second checkpoint!"

Huang Dongqiu shook his head and said: "The infantry brigade's infantry is no worse than yours. They are so strenuous. If you change to the brigade, it's still the same. Let's see tomorrow! Dula Alang is really extraordinary, and he decisively gave up on the first brigade." For the defense of the hillside and Heifengzhai, concentrate our forces and fight against us on the main peak, it is such a dangerous terrain, if he insists on defending Heifengzhai, we will fight better!"

"Or, we'll trap them to death!" Zhang Fagui said again: "Send troops to block their back, and we'll attack Shazhou City on our own. Here we attack from our back, and there are narrow mountain roads. We can't shoot gunpowder packs with trebuchets." Use it, but Shazhou City is different. As long as we capture Shazhou City and cut off the food and grass on the Black Sun Peak, we will trap Dula'a Lang to death on the Black Sun Peak."

Huang Dongqiu smiled and said: "How can they be trapped to death? There is a stream on the Black Sun Peak, so there is no need to worry about the water source, and the food reserves are sufficient. Even if there is no food, there are plenty of things for them to eat in this mountain? The three of our legion With 1 troops, 2 troops will be stationed in Suzhou and Guazhou, and only [-] troops can be mobilized. This force can't stop them at all. What's more, these Xizhou Uighur soldiers are all elites."

Zhang Fagui was silent. As an old soldier, he could tell at a glance how elite the opponent's soldiers were as soon as they started the battle. This Dula Alang's troops were indeed difficult to fight, at least not worse than the Liao army they fought in Yinzhou last year.

There was no fighting in the afternoon, but Dang Fuyu's infantry brigade was very hot. From the battalion commanders to the ordinary soldiers, they were enthusiastically discussing how to break through the enemy's second hurdle while minimizing their own losses. discussion.

In the second level of Heiyang Peak, the guard Dong Ri Maizha did not dare to take it lightly. The opponent paid a high price to win the first level, but suddenly stopped the pace of attack. This can only mean that When the opponent attacks again, it will definitely be more violent and difficult than the last time.He would never believe that the Xiangfu army would retreat in case of disaster. This was not Huang Dongqiu's style according to the information they obtained, let alone the style of the Xiangfu army.

That night, Dongri Maiti didn't sleep well all night, and would go to the wall to inspect every half an hour. It is not without precedent for soldiers from the Xiangfu Kingdom to attack the checkpoint at night, and the news of how Minzhou City in the Song Dynasty was captured has followed. As the merchants spread to Shazhou, if special forces from Xiangfu Kingdom came up in the dark and lost the checkpoint in a daze, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, the army of Xiangfu Kingdom did not move at all throughout the night, and Dongri Maizha could vaguely see that the camp of the Volunteer Army at the foot of the mountain was brightly lit, and it was noisy for most of the night.It wasn't until early in the morning that he leaned against the wall and took a short nap.

In the early hours of the morning, as soon as the white belly appeared in the sky, Dongri Maiza was awakened by the sound of the attacking drums. He jumped up and strode up the wall. The soldiers under his command were already ready for battle, and the stone ball that could kill the opponent in large numbers had already been pushed to the predetermined position. , as long as he gives an order, he will push it down.

The Xiangfu soldiers who launched the attack from the first checkpoint were not the same as yesterday. A strange looking plane was slowly pushed forward by rows of soldiers on the railing made of giant wood. The two sides were about several feet long. The thick and thin tree poles at the mouth of the bowl are connected with the thick and thin tree poles at the top of the tree poles every one or two meters, and a layer of soft net made of hemp rope is tied in the middle.

With just one glance, Dongri Maiza knew that the opponent designed this thing for their defense against the Rolling Stones. The giant wood blocked the first wave of attacks, and then layers of soft nets could make the impact of the Rolling Stones invisible one by one. This method is very stupid, and the speed of advancement is extremely slow, but it is very effective.

Originally, under this kind of terrain, Rolling Stones and Woods were the most effective means of killing. They could kill a large number of the vital forces of the Volunteer Army, and the death conditions were extremely miserable. Many were even crushed to bloody flesh, leaving only a piece of skin It was also a great blow to the morale of the Volunteer Legion, but the opponent's stupid method can minimize the casualties.

"Cunning Han dog!" Dongri Maiza cursed in a low voice. Originally, he wanted to wait for the enemy to attack the middle section before releasing the rocks to kill as many enemies as possible, but now he couldn't. He could only extend the rolling distance of the stone bomb Increased impact.

"Let go!" He ordered through gritted teeth.

Several stone bullets bounced and rolled down the narrow mountain road following his orders, at an increasing speed, the soldiers of the Volunteer Legion stopped advancing, shouted, and stopped the block in the middle of the road, holding on tight withstand.

There was a loud noise, and the barrier in front was broken from it. The huge impact caused the two soldiers who were supporting at the front to fly backwards. The people in the air spurted blood from their mouths. Seeing that they could not live, the soldiers behind The soldiers watched helplessly as the stone bullet broke through one block, broke through the second block, tore through the second block, and finally stopped before the third block after bouncing a few times.

The soldiers of the Volunteer Legion cheered, this time the losses suffered were minimal.

The soldiers behind carried the new barricades up quickly, and the blocked stone bullets were quickly pried to the side of the road. A group of soldiers from the engineering battalion swarmed up. After the fence was repaired, dozens of soldiers carried it, and rushed up following the soldiers in front.

Seeing that the method worked, Dang Fuyu, standing on the first checkpoint, let out a long breath. As long as he can successfully attack the second checkpoint and start a hand-to-hand combat, he believes that no one can stop it They are a melee attack of a brigade of infantry soldiers.

Dong Ri Mai Zha's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, but the battlefield situation has undergone a great change, and they lost a lot of terrain advantages all at once.

While he kept ordering to roll the wood and rolling stones down, he was preparing for the enemy's siege battle. The Xizhou Uighur soldiers on the checkpoint also became nervous. Compared with the situation when they attacked the first checkpoint yesterday, the enemy obviously absorbed Lesson learned.

When Dongri Maiti, who was resting in the checkpoint, ran out in a hurry, there was a burst of cheers from the checkpoint, but it was a stone bomb that was bounced by a boulder without knowing it, jumped up suddenly, flew into the air, and passed Blocking the wood, rolling all the way down, bringing out a stream of blood among the soldiers of Xiangfu Kingdom.
