Chapter Seventy-Eight: One Slope, Two Ditches, Three Hurdles
Cheng Jingzong brought about 1,500 officers and troops, including local garrisons and people from the city defense battalion, but there were 200 people whose whereabouts were unknown.
Cheng Jingzong is the initiator of this operation, and it is unlikely that others will have opinions on who he brought over, so a group of people drove to the foot of Dongbai Mountain.
Then, these two hundred people took the lead and rushed directly to the front.
Sima Zhouping, who was in charge of the city defense camp in the back, saw the two hundred people in front of him like wolves and tigers, climbing Dongbai Mountain quickly, and he looked back at the city defense camp behind him, which looked weak and powerless, and his eyelids jumped.
These people ...... Where is the family, it is clearly a group of well-trained elites!
As the military attache leader of Yuezhou, he naturally knew the origin of Cheng Jingzong, and he was secretly muttering in his heart at the moment.
That Shuo Fang's great general was also a little too bold, and he was almost blatantly sending troops to Jiangnan!
Although the military and political power of Shuofang is in the hands of Kang Dongping, it is still the army of the imperial court after all, and without the order of the imperial court, it is impossible for them to send troops from Shuofang to the interior, let alone the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River!
Fortunately, there are only 200 of these people, and they have already used the secret to reveal the identity of Shuo Fangjun, so even if anyone knows, they will turn a blind eye and will not really offend that General Kang.
With 200 Shuofang troops rushing to the front, Zhou Sima felt a lot more relieved, he lifted his spirits, took the soldiers of the city defense battalion, and tried his best to follow behind the Shuofang army.
Before coming, Cheng Jingzong had already let people dip a few hunters from Dongbai Mountain to lead the way, so there was no problem of getting lost, the group climbed the mountain in the morning, and when it was close to noon, they could already see the cottage of Tianwolf Village, Cheng Jingzong, as a civil official, was rushing to the front, he stood on a high place, squinting at this village that had been entrenched in Dongbai Mountain for more than 30 years.
"General Wei."
Cheng Jingzong looked back at a strong man and said: "This stockade, from top to bottom, there must be no chickens and dogs, otherwise not only will I be in trouble, but even the general's side will also have some trouble in the imperial court." ”
"Leave no handle behind!"
General Wei, who had two long scars on his face, looked hideous, and smiled at Cheng Jingzong: "Master Cheng, don't worry, these two hundred people under my command are enough to level this cottage, and tomorrow at the latest, I will definitely let this village not be left." ”
After that, this General Wei waved his hand, and the two hundred people immediately formed a formation and slowly advanced towards the Heavenly Wolf Village in an orderly manner.
These two hundred people, all dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, but each of them were bulging in clothes, which looked quite strange.
At this time, the bandits of the Heavenly Wolf Village have also discovered these two hundred people, the Heavenly Wolf Village is located on a high slope, if you want to go up, you must pass through a slope, and on this slope, there are already thirty or forty bows and arrows holding bows and waiting for them.
This is the first barrier of Tianwolf Village, and in the past thirty years, this barrier has not known how many officials and soldiers have been blocked.
The thirty or forty archers all had a mocking smile on their faces when they saw this, and one of the leaders sneered: "These should be sent by the official army to send us to the death and consume our arrows, brothers, shoot them accurately, shoot them as soon as possible!" ”
Most of the archers in these Heavenly Wolf Village have killed people and seen blood, and their heads are not bad, otherwise they would not be arranged in the position of archers, they almost shot arrows with bows at the same time, shooting towards the two hundred people down the slope, and almost all of the thirty or forty arrows hit, all of them were shot at these two hundred people!
And then...... The sound of gold and iron sounded!
These two hundred people were unconscious, like invulnerable gods, resisting the rain of arrows from the Heavenly Wolf Village, and began to charge!
"Iron Armor!"
The face of the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Village, who was in charge of the archers, changed greatly, and he said in shock: "Under the clothes of these people...... All in iron armor?! ”
In the era of cold weapons, armor is undoubtedly one of the most precious strategic materials, ordinary leather armor and light armor are not strong for bows and arrows, and iron armor is already considered heavy armor!
This kind of heavy armor is very precious, whether it is the Shuofang army or the forbidden army of Chang'an, only a small number of elites can wear iron armor!
And this thing is quite heavy, and it is not something that ordinary soldiers can handle.
The two hundred people in front of him seem to be all wearing iron armor, and after wearing iron armor, they can actually run in the mountains, just these two points can already be called elite!
The bandit leader looked at him in horror and said loudly: "Shoot the head, shoot the head!" ”
The Shuofang army secretly dispatched elites, which must be hidden, and the iron armor can be hidden under the clothes, but the helmet cannot be hidden, so these 200 people only wear armor and no helmets.
General Scarface Wei rushed to the front first, and his voice was cold: "Charge, charge!" ”
He gave the order, and the speed of the two hundred men was a little faster, and it was not easy to aim at the head under the rapid movement, but the result was that the two hundred men only lost a dozen or so people, and rushed over this long slope and came to these archers.
The faces of these two hundred people showed a cruel smile.
They draw at the same time in hand.
Naturally, the bandits also threw down their bows and arrows, drew the long knives in their waists, and rushed towards these people.
These Shuofang troops in iron armor were not afraid, and some people simply did not dodge or dodge, and they could knock them out two or three meters away with a single collision with these bandits, and then fall to the ground and lose their combat effectiveness.
In less than a moment, the thirty or forty archers of the Heavenly Wolf Village had already been killed and wounded.
These Shuofang troops quickly finished dealing with these archers, and then looked up at the Heavenly Wolf Village.
The location of the Sky Wolf Village is excellent, this slope is only the first barrier, and if you want to really reach the gate of the village, you have to cross three or four complex terrains.
General Wei was expressionless and waved his hand to his men.
"Keep moving!"
Two hundred people responded with a bang, and advanced towards the Heavenly Wolf Village in an orderly manner.
At this time, Boss Xu, who was standing on a hill, had already seen this scene in his eyes, seeing that these archers were killed and injured in a moment, he took a deep breath, turned around and went back to the Heavenly Wolf Village, this time he did not go to see those old qualifications in the village, but walked straight to Lin Zhao's room, his eyes were complicated: "Lin Gongzi, once again right." ”
Lin Zhao is playing tiger chess with that little girl at this moment, also known as "Tiger Eats Child", and in the past few days, he has mostly relied on this to pass the time here.
Seeing Boss Xu who suddenly broke in, Lin Zhao put down the stone in his hand and turned his head to look at Boss Xu: "The official army is coming in?" ”
"They have already crossed the arrow slope, and there are still two ditches and three hurdles behind them, and they will not be able to beat them for a while and a half."
One slope, two ditches and three ridges, is the Tianwolf Village borrowed the terrain to build a fortification, for 30 years, the officials and soldiers have not been able to break through the hard work of these successive generations of village owners.
Speaking of this, Boss Xu's face changed slightly: "But I just looked at the combat strength of those officers and soldiers, and they are all wearing iron armor, which is very different from the officers and soldiers I saw before......
The thirty-year-old owner of the village turned a little pale: "With only those two hundred people, I'm afraid we can easily bulldoze the Heavenly Wolf Village." ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhao's face also changed, and he frowned: "Those people, all wearing iron armor?" ”
In the past few months, Lin Zhao has also tried his best to inquire about some things about Shuo Fangjun, although it is not very detailed, but he can already learn some about it.
Even in the Shuofang army, there are not many people wearing iron armor.
Boss Xu nodded slowly, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Those people in the village are too stubborn, I can't move them." ”
"I'll arrange some people on my side to slowly retreat to the back mountain."
