I don't think there's anything from a distance, I just think that such a small hill can help? It's not a job that can be taken down by a charge! When you get closer and see clearly, you realize that things are far from being that simple.

The mountains are indeed not high.

But the shape is quite peculiar, it is actually fine at the bottom and thick at the top, although there have been obvious traces of artificial trimming, but in general, this mountain has grown like this. There is no way to start on the two cliffs, and the remaining two sides, one side is facing Guangshui City, and the other side is only one winding, and the road is covered with all kinds of strange shapes of stones.

If you want to go on the offensive, you have only two options.

Either they attack from the side facing Guangshui City, but the problem is that attacking from here will inevitably be attacked by the cover from Guangshui City. If you attack from the other side, the troops will not be able to spread at all, and you can put in a maximum of 500 people at a time.

Liu Xinda gave Xu Yong 10,000 people, at first Xu Yong felt that there was a lot of use there, but when he came here, it was really a lot, a small number of people attacked, most of the people watched, and then helplessly used the tactics of adding oil.

It's hard to estimate the casualties.

Looking at the hill in front of him, Xu Yong was in trouble.

"Take it down in a day?" Huang Degong looked at the banner of the Tang Army flying high on the hill, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, he was the most courageous general under Xu Yong, looking at such a terrain and situation, he also made a difficulty.

"General Liu is suspicious, and he always feels that the Tang army has a conspiracy." Xu Yong spread his hands, "He said that it is the best policy to take Guangshui as quickly as possible and enter Xinyang." ”

"Isn't this forcing us to fill it with human lives?" Huang Degong said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of conspiracy can the Tang army have, now in the vicinity of Guangshui, we are densely packed with scouts, as soon as there is any wind and grass, we can know as quickly as possible, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Tang army are still in the area of Guanzhong in Henan. Who can hide this? Li Dang is in Xinyang, but there are only more than 10,000 people, at best, plus Li Hao's sailors. Can the sailor go ashore to fight? ”

"That's what I said, but a military order is a military order, and if you say it's a day, you have to have a day!" Xu Yong squinted at the small mountain road.

"I think the best way is for us to attack with General Liu at the same time, he attacks Guangshui, and we attack this high ground." Huang Degong suggested.

Xu Yong shook his head: "It's not feasible. If you look at the geographical location of Guangshui, if we attack Guangshui before we take this high ground, it will not work at all if there are fewer people, and if there are too many people, it will be too dense, and under the attack from both sides, the losses will be unbearable. ”

"That kind of loss is unbearable, but will the loss of our attack on this high ground be small?" Huang Degong said: "It's better to go down with a scoop of boiling water, it hurts a little, even if you can't take Guangshui City for a while, but as long as you can disperse their strength, maybe they can help us take this high ground." ”

Xu Yong pondered for a moment: "Let's fight first, if it's too difficult, I'll make this suggestion to General Liu." Since he has always been worried that Tang Jun has a backhand, maybe he will agree. ”

"He just doesn't want to lose his descendants!" Huang Degong lowered his voice and said: "I heard that over there in Yizhou, I have been writing with Liu Xinda constantly. ”

"Shut up!" Xu Yong glanced at Huang Degong: "Right now, Yizhou is also our ally!" In this case, let me hear it out of your mouth again, and be careful that I knock out your full mouth! ”

"Isn't this just to tell you!" Huang Degong flattened his mouth: "I still know the severity." ”

"Don't say that again." Xu Yong said: "You choose hundreds of sergeants and wear heavy armor. The terrain of this dog day can't even cover remotely, so we can only fight hard, and we have to let General Liu see that we are indeed working hard. ”

"Obey, I'll take someone on it myself!" Huang Degong is hard and authentic.

Xu Yong nodded.

Liu Xinda actually had a full estimate of the difficulty of conquering this hill, but he had doubts and had to make such a decision.

The Guangzhou Imperial Court was determined to win Guangshui, the last enemy stronghold in Ezhou, to expel the other party, and then connect Eyue, Hunan, Jingnan, Yizhou and other places into a large area, so as to achieve this goal, it can be said that the entire south was connected.

After Guangshui is taken, Yueyang will also be difficult to defend, and Jingnan will also be attacked in several directions.

My side can see that Guangshui is now at an important node, how can the enemy not see it? Yingcheng, Anlu and other places, the enemy gave up too easily. Of course, there is a reason why the Tang army is currently under-strengthened, but if they defend one place at a time, it is impossible for them to reach Guangshui so easily.

Seeing that Lu Yong's troops had arrived near the high ground and began to prepare for the attack, Liu Xinda gave an order, and thousands of cavalry from the headquarters of the Chinese army also went out to monitor Guangshui City from afar, if the Tang Army in Guangshui City sent cavalry to attack Xu Yong and others, his thousands of cavalry could be inserted into the battlefield.

Now Liu Xinda is not afraid of redemption at all. On the contrary, he very much hoped that Ren Xiaonian in Guangshui City would exchange with him, and he had a strong army, and such a exchange would be of great benefit to him.

However, the drums of Guangshui City rumbled, but there was no trace of troops, and even long-range attack weapons were not used, and it seemed that they were ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

This is a kind of helplessness, but also a kind of self-confidence.

As Xu Yong said, if the Southern Alliance army rushes up and completely fills the open space between the two sides, it will really become a condescending target for the opponent's long-range weapons.

The attack began.

Liu Xinda held his breath and watched with anticipation as Xu Yongbu in the distance began to move forward.

If he was still a little nervous before, suffering from gains and losses, but at this moment, he doesn't have to think about anything, whether it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away, and you will know a general idea.

Xu Yong is an experienced general, and he copes well.

The heavily armored soldiers dispersed the formation and began to slowly climb upwards.

The terrain here is very difficult to install trebuchets, and even if they are installed, they will become the enemy's targets, Liu Xinda emphasized the speed of the march, and he didn't bring much of this kind of heavy weapons, he wanted to use them against Guangshui City, and he didn't want to spend it on this high ground in vain.

The Southern Alliance soldiers in heavy armor held their big shields and moved forward slowly, not because they didn't want to run fast, but because they couldn't get up at all after wearing this heavy armor weighing dozens of pounds to climb such a dangerous place.

Huang Degong stepped out from behind a half-man-high rock, glanced up a few times, and then ran as fast as he could towards the next cover point he had targeted.

The strange rocks on the mountain caused great obstacles to their movement, but at the same time, it also made it impossible for the other party to use weapons such as trebuchets and stone cannons, which made the two sides a draw.

Qin Scar pulled out the hard bow in his hand, aimed at it for a long time, but still put it down, shook his head and said, "It's not much fun, it's not easy to aim, and this kind of heavy armor of theirs, even if you use an armor-piercing cone, it is difficult to kill the other party." ”

Liu Yuan stared at the iron-armored monsters that flashed among the stones one by one, and said leisurely: "That's because you can't shoot arrows, if General Chen Changping or General Li Hai is here and keeps one arrow, these people are not enough for the two of them to shoot." ”

Qin Scar glared at Liu Yuan angrily: "If I had their ability, would I come to be your deputy?" ”

Liu Yuan laughed.

Although the speed of the enemy's advance was very slow, the two generals of the Tang army on the mountain looked unusually flat, and it seemed that they did not take the opponent in their eyes at all.

Huang Degong naturally didn't know the other party's state at this time, he was still cautiously rushing forward.

He could already see clearly the faces of the enemy behind the stone wall on the opposite side, the scattered formation, when he arrived here, slowly narrowed, and the heavy armor team of five hundred people, after arriving here, unconsciously, had come closer together.

Just poked out his head from behind a stone, with a whoosh, a feather arrow had already shot at him, Huang Degong shrank his head, the feather arrow swept through the air, and then he heard a ding, and when he looked back, the feather arrow hit a soldier a few steps behind him, and entered the armor by an inch.

actually broke through the heavy armor, and Huang Degong was shocked.

The soldier reached out and pulled the feather arrow off, and looked at the arrow: "Armor-piercing cone!" ”

Huang Degong shook his head fiercely, and only those nouveau riche in the north could afford to use such a well-crafted armor-piercing cone, and in the south, such arrows are generally only available to generals who are good at shooting. First, the price is ridiculously high, and second, it is too difficult to make.

Further ahead, it was only fifty meters, but it was empty, this was the most difficult distance, as long as they could rush to the enemy, with heavy armor, they could deal a major blow to the enemy.

Such heavy armor was only collected by Xu Yong from the 10,000 people in the whole army, and it was impossible for the Tang army to have such heavy armor to compete with them. In the establishment of the northern army, only one Modao army was equipped with such heavy armor, and other armies had never heard of it.

As long as you are close, with the heavy armor of your whole body, you can push the opponent horizontally.

"Raise your shield, turtle formation, and advance!" Huang Degong ordered: "Send a signal to General Xu, and the large army can begin to deploy." ”

Five hundred heavy armor gathered together, one after another the big shields were raised, people crowded, people were crowded, people were pushed, and slowly walked out of the chaos.

Liu Yuanchang took a breath and said with a smile: "Very good, that's what it looks like, let them taste it today, what is karmic fire!" ”
