Chapter 0320: Kicking the Cliff
Tang Yuan stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked up at the Sheep's Horn Peak, he couldn't help but be a little worried, these two peaks can take care of each other, for example, last time he found that the enemy army hid a heavy crossbow, the kind of strong crossbow that can only be full of bowstrings by the cooperation of two people, the power is really terrifying, the thick bow and arrow can penetrate the body of the war horse, and it will be a bang when it hits the stone, and the stone will crack.
If it was just one or two of those heavy crossbows, Tang Yuan wouldn't be worried, but the two peaks combined would have at least fifty, which would be a bit difficult. If you break through, the casualties will inevitably be heavy, and the soldiers dare not rush, which is almost a certain way to death.
The fire in the valley was already burning, although it could not burn their side, but the feeling of baking was still coming to their faces, and at noon, the sun was already a little roasting, plus the fire in the valley, it felt like it had been placed on the steamer, and it was so uncomfortable that I wanted to vomit.
Tang Yuan suddenly grabbed the kettle and took a big sip, because he felt that he might be suffering from heat stroke.
"Charge with cavalry." Tang Yuan wiped his lips: "The Mabi people are brave, they don't know that there are heavy crossbows on the mountain behind them, as long as they break through the first line of defense, we can rely on the enemy's bunker to cover the attack on the opposite mountain." In addition, both mountains must be attacked at the same time, so as to contain the enemy heavy crossbowmen as quickly as possible. ”
"Who's going to charge?"
"Nanshan let Chen Bao chong, and Beishan let Tang Hu chong."
These two people are Tang Yuan's trump cards, and when they heard these two names, the generals' faces were very solemn. It is naturally easy to say that he won the battle, but once the charge failed, the morale of the entire team was completely gone, and Tang Yuan was inevitably a move not to leave a way back for himself.
But at this time, Tang Yuan had no choice, at this time, Zhang Yunlong was supervising the army behind, looking at the battlefield in front of him.
Although General Zhang seems to be calm and calm, in fact, everyone knows that he is very anxious, and if he delays time, Lin Chongyang may be finished.
"Puff puff ......"
Chen Bao and Tang Hu's ironclad cavalry rushed up the mountain with their heads, and the bows and arrows on the mountain flew down densely, shooting the two troops on their backs.
Some people fall and can't get up again, some people just get up and then they fall, and less than half of them can get up and continue to charge after they fall, but soon after, maybe they fall down again.
The first charge was 300 men, and before they could reach the stone wall, they were reduced by half, and the cavalry took their shields in their hands, rushed to the bottom of the stone wall, and began to throw fire and thunder into the stone wall.
At the same time, the enemy army was also throwing fire and thunder below, and it was rumbling up and down for a while, but on the whole, it was still the Liang army below that suffered.
"Second team, rush!" On the north peak, Tang Hu had already rushed to a place a hundred steps away from the stone wall, and his formation was too deep. But he has such a character, and no one else can stop him.
The first team was almost finished, and the second team rushed up again.
The second team ran halfway through.
"Collective charge!"
Tang Hu brandished his halberd and rushed forward with the third team.
Rushed up like a bunch of madmen.
Seeing this, the enemy also frantically counterattacked, using everything that could be used in their hands, and the fire on the stone wall broke out, and the soldiers fought in the fire, and some people were already on fire and rolling on the ground. However, pine oil is very difficult to extinguish, and some ironclad soldiers can only separate the armor and take off the iron armor, otherwise they will be burned to death.
The battle was extremely fierce, Tang Yuan looked at Beishan and said, "Liu Zhan, you go up with the infantry to support Tang Hu." ”
Almost at the same time, Nalan Xin was paying attention to Chen Bao's situation on the southern slope, in fact, Chen Bao was not as fierce as Tang Hu, but when he felt that the heavy crossbow shot from behind suddenly became less, he turned his head and saw Tang Hu's flag rushing to the stone wall. Chen Bao suddenly became anxious. Because if he can't rush up, then Tang Hu will be attacked on his back. So he also gave the order to charge en masse.
"The terrain on the second general's side is more complicated, Ma Ben, Li Xian, you two go to support, remember, don't rush up in a swarm, it's narrow and can't be used." Nalan Xin paused slightly, and then said, "Ma Ben, you follow behind the second general; Li Xian, don't go with you, you go to the west and make a detour. Although the road is difficult to walk, you can go around behind the enemy. Just now, the enemy army was well defended, and you couldn't walk on the road that day, but now that the two peaks are under attack, they don't have the energy to fill that road anymore, and even if they are prepared, there will not be many people. ”
Ma Ben and Li Xian took the order.
Fu Ying, Yue Pu, Zhang Jing, Liu Kai, and Liu Tan remained in place and did not move.
It's not that they don't want to go up and support it, but the battlefield is so big, and too many people will add chaos.
Tang Hu finally climbed up the stone wall, the back of the stone wall has been a piece, but unfortunately the Liang army has few soldiers, has been surrounded and killed by the enemy, with armor, can resist a few times, but it will not be long before he will be cut to the ground.
You can't jump down one by one to die, count yourself, and save enough eleven people to jump down together, so that you can have a certain group defense.
There were enough people, Tang Hu was the first to jump down, and the people behind him followed closely and rushed to kill together.
The cold arrow has never been broken, Tang Hu has been hit by two arrows in his body, and he pulled them out, General Tiger is already drenched in blood, one in the left shoulder, one in the right abdomen, of which the injury in the right abdomen is a bit serious, which has somewhat restricted Tang Hu's movements.
Tang Hu's armor is a special armor, which can be said to be two layers or three layers.
The innermost layer was given to Tang Yuan by Tang Qi, which was originally prepared by the old thief Simon Mason for his eldest son, but after the death of the eldest son Ximen Kun, it fell into the hands of the queen and was given to the love general.
Tang Yuan felt that Tang Hu didn't want to die in a war, so he simply sent Tang Hu to forget it.
This layer of armor is very light, but the strength and toughness are not weak, it is definitely not suitable to be directly used as the outer armor, it can only be used as the inner armor, which has the role of a third layer of defense, mainly to prevent it from being shot through by bows and arrows.
But the arrow in Tang Hu was too powerful, and it still pierced through the third layer of armor.
"I'll your grandma!"
The Tiger General spun wildly, like a gust of black wind, and the two iron halberds were bloody.
When Tang Hu stood still, more and more Liang troops jumped down from the stone wall behind him, and finally there were more than a hundred people, and Tang Hu could take a breath.
Chen Bao's situation was even more difficult than Tang Hu's, so in order to climb the stone wall, at least more than 500 people were thrown in, two or three hundred were injured, and only more than 200 people climbed up in the end.
Soon after, Ma Ben rushed up, and the young man was warlike, with two hundred bandits from the Western Regions.
When the horse rushed up, the guard on the peak was a little panicked. But he had no way to retreat, so he could only continue to resist with his soldiers.
The battle lasted two hours.
Zhang Yunlong stood in the distance and looked out, and couldn't help but sigh that this battle was too bad.
