Chapter 57: Opening the Way with a Corpse

Bai Buxin frowned.

Pang Tong smiled: "General Bai, don't worry, the Divine Machine Bow will be shipped up immediately." It's just that the mountains are steep and take time. Before the words fell, there was a sound behind him, and several young people from other villages with hundreds of soldiers carried a bunch of things. It was a long, thin iron barrel, reinforced with an iron hoop at the end, and at the tail was fastened a large bow, with a bowstring two meters long, made of ox tendons the thickness of the little finger. I'm afraid that no one will be able to pull this bow.

At the edge of each bow, two soldiers supported the bowstring with a fork, one soldier loaded a short spear with a thick tail into an iron cylinder, and one soldier stood by the bowstring with a sledgehammer.

"Striker change, prepare to charge, listen to my orders!" As soon as Wei Qing saw that Pang Tong's organ had arrived, he immediately issued an order.

"Launch!" With Pang Tong's order, the sledgehammer struck the bowstring with a dull whirrence, and the elastic force of the bowstring and the force of the sledgehammer hit the short spear, which flew straight to the enemy's fortifications like a meteor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The spears stabbed directly into the walls of the fortifications, some of them sparked on the stones, and some of them sank into the walls. Screams were heard from the other side of the wall, and the enemy soldiers who were holding back the wall were hit by spears through the wall and fell.

"Rush!" Wei Qing ordered.

The soldiers of the vanguard rushed forward with loud shouts.

"The enemy did not flee to the top of the mountain, and the strength of our forward team is not enough!" Although Bai Buxin handed over the command to Wei Qing, he has not been idle, when Wei Qing was fully commanding, he looked around, always observing, and now saw that although the enemy was injured, he still refused to defend the wall and refused to retreat, so he immediately found the problem and hurriedly reminded Wei Qing.

Wei Qing immediately ordered: "Go up to four more hundred-person teams and take turns to attack!" ”

Five hundred-man platoons rushed towards the first line of fortifications.

As soon as the first hundred-man team approached the fortifications, dozens of enemy soldiers jumped out of the fortifications, all of them rushed to the hundred-man team as if they were crazy, and some of them were wounded in their arms and waists, apparently caused by the attack of the ** bow just now.

The hundredth team attacked from the back, and although the opponent was slightly smaller than their own number, they had the advantage of the situation and could not advance for a while. The 200th regiment immediately followed, charging the enemy soldiers. A moment later, the three hundred-man squad had also arrived, and the three hundred-man squad attacked together, although the enemy soldiers were desperate, but the difference in numbers was too great, two places had been breached, and the Han soldiers rushed through the two gaps towards the fortress.

Suddenly, a dozen soldiers stood up in the fortress, all of them wounded, and it seemed that they had been seriously injured in the attack with the big bow just now, and they could not move and could not participate in the attack, and they lifted many large stones from the fortress and threw them outward.

The hillside was extremely steep, and as soon as the big stone was thrown, it immediately rolled downward, first hitting the soldiers of the Goodwill Army who were facing away from the fortifications, and then hitting the soldiers of the Han Army downward, and the soldiers in front fell and hit the soldiers behind, and the hillside was full of rolling figures, both of the Goodwill Army soldiers and the Han soldiers. It seems that these Goodwill Army soldiers are fighting to the end at all costs.

"Three more hundreds!" Wei Qing's eyes were blood-red and he roared loudly.

Three centurians immediately rushed out, past their fallen comrades on the hillside, and rushed towards the fortifications.

A Goodwill Army soldier struggled to climb the fortifications, slashing his throat with a sword in his hand. Several other soldiers also committed suicide. They knew that they could no longer stop their opponents, but they were all wounded, and it was too late to run to the upper layer of fortifications, knowing that these Han soldiers would never treat them well, so they simply committed suicide.

Thousands of Han soldiers rushed up to the first layer of fortifications with a shout, and judging from the movements of their swords after they rushed into the fortifications, although there was no one to resist, they kept raising their swords and falling their swords, the estimate of the soldiers of the Good Faith Army was correct. This is a battle of revenge, and the Han soldiers are afraid that no one will have sympathy for these traitors.

Behind Wei Qing, Bai Buxin hurriedly passed the order, and ordered another 3,000 people to be mobilized to come up to enrich the front-line military strength.

"Huh? What's going on? Pang Tong looked at the mountain and suddenly asked.

Bai Buxin and Wei Qing looked up, only to see the figures behind the second and third layers of fortifications shaking, the enemy soldiers all ran upward, while the soldiers on the top layer of fortifications ran down.

"They want to fight to the death on the fourth layer of fortifications!" Bai Buxin immediately guessed the enemy's plan. Originally, they wanted to defend according to the danger and fortify it layer by layer, but the Han army not only had the advantage in numbers, but also had advanced weapons, and this method of layer-by-layer fortification did not work, so they were ready to concentrate all their personnel together and take advantage of the geographical advantage to defend to the end. The fourth layer of fortifications is not only steep, but also located on another small cliff, which, although only seven or eight meters high, is still a dangerous place.

"Hurry up!" Wei Qing urged repeatedly.

The crowd went all the way past the first and second layers of fortifications and came to the third level of fortifications. In front of them, the Han advance had already crossed the third layer of fortifications. It's just that the fourth layer of fortifications is a fortification that the enemy is stubbornly defending, and the teams do not dare to charge without orders.

"Master Pang, please open your treasure bag." Bai Buxin saw Pang Tong standing there stunned, and urged.

Pang Tongyi was stunned, then understood, and couldn't help but blush: "The third layer of fortifications and the fourth layer of fortifications are too far apart, and it is impossible to attack the fourth layer of fortifications from here, and the mountain is so steep, and the fourth layer of fortifications is on the cliff, and I haven't thought of a good way in the next moment." ”

Bai Buxin snorted secretly. It turns out that there are not many goods in this girl's treasure bag. Fortunately, there is only this layer of defense left, and now there is no other way but to attack.

"Listen to my orders," Wei Qing also knew the situation at this time, since he had already hit here, there was no reason to retreat, he could only attack, when he gave the order, "Send out five hundred-man teams, distance between teams, bring more bows and arrows, only forward, not backward, those who take a step back will be killed!" ”

Five hundred-man teams rushed forward, but there was no movement in the opposing fortifications.

Suddenly, there was a cloud of dust and a booming sound, and dozens of large tree trunks were pushed down from the fourth layer of fortifications.

This ridge is not wide, the big trunk is extremely long, and when it is thrown down, it is obvious that it has been planned, some first and some later, some are left and some are right, and it is scattered, and the entire ridge is covered at once, dozens of large tree trunks are one after another, and you are not allowed to dodge at all, the fourth and fifth hundredth team has not had time to rush out of the third layer of fortifications, the first three hundred-man team was hit by the trunk and flew upside down, and the hillside was full of screams, and the fourth and fifth hundredth teams saw that the situation was not good, and they jumped to the back of the third layer of fortifications in order to avoid the impact of the tree trunk.

Bai Buxin roared, waved his hand, and rushed forward with the guards, his sword fell, and he cut off the head of the captain of the 500th team with a sword: "Those who take a step back will be killed!" Don't have long ears? Rush with me! ”

Before the words fell, he rushed forward first. The soldiers shouted loudly and rushed forward in their immediate aftermath.

Wei Qing never expected that at such a moment, Bai Buxin would suddenly rush up, and wanted to follow the upward impact, but he was afraid that both of them would rush up without a commander, so he had to stand behind the fortifications and shout loudly, command and dispatch, and supervise the battle with all his might.

In fact, Bai Buxin didn't want to be so brutal, but now that the opponent's entire army is concentrated in the fourth layer of defense, if he retreats, he will have to reorganize the attack, and at the same time, he will also give the opponent a chance to replenish the rolling wood, can there be less wood on this mountain? If you can't rush forward at any cost, you can only slowly let the soldiers die on this hillside. Therefore, this attack can only pave a bloody path at the cost of life, and there is no other way to do it.

The enemy obviously did not expect that the opponent would charge so disregarding his life, the big tree trunk could not turn around for a while, the soldiers picked up the stones and threw them down, although the stones were dense, but this time there was no organization and order, Bai Buxin jumped around in the stones, it was difficult to go up, the soldiers of the Han army sacrificed their lives to move forward, it can be said that they were really one after another, and there were countless casualties. Wei Qingtie blushed, holding a long sword in his hand in the back, and led a few guards to defend the third layer of fortifications, and once someone retreated, he would immediately correct the law on the spot.

Bai Buxin jumped around, and saw that he was at the fourth layer of defense, when suddenly a soldier on the other side pounced and crashed into Bai Buxin's sword. Although the soldier was immediately pierced by the sword, Bai Buxin couldn't support it, and rolled down.

He rolled all the way down, and was hit by rocks twice in the middle, although fortunately he did not hurt his muscles and bones, but he also hit his body with great pain.

Suddenly, his body was blocked, and a pair of hands pulled him up. It's Wei Qing.

As soon as Wei Qing saw Bai Buxin rolling down, he immediately forgot to supervise the battle, rushed up and grabbed Bai Buxin, and asked repeatedly, "Where is the injury?" ”

Bai Buxin pushed Wei Qing back, "I can't die!" Go and oversee the battle! "Turn around and rush up the hill again!

The soldiers saw Bai Buxin rolling down, and some timid soldiers didn't dare to rush again, but suddenly saw Bai Buxin rushing up again, and their morale was immediately boosted, and everyone charged forward desperately regardless of life or death.

This time, the attacking force was endless, the front fell and the back immediately followed, and the rolling wood and stones prepared by the enemy army were quickly consumed, and there was no time to replenish, the soldiers released arrows one after another, but the power of the arrows was much worse than that of rolling wood and stones, and Bai Buxin rushed to the cliff first.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and a man fell from the sky, and a soldier saw that the opponent was about to rush up, jumped down, and pounced on Bai Buxin. Bai Buxin hurriedly stepped aside, and the soldier rolled all the way and fell, seeing that he was shattered. At this time, dozens of Han soldiers had already arrived, and they all set up ladders to climb up.

Some of the soldiers of the goodwill army pushed the long ladder with weapons, and some slashed at the Han soldiers who climbed up, and the two sides fought desperately at the cliff, and the Han soldiers kept falling from the ladder, and the corpses piled up under the cliff, and the dead and wounded were in disarray.
