Chapter 298: Training with Battle (I)

At noon on the second day after the first battle, Sun Tu finally led his army to the front of White Tiger Mountain.

Since this White Tiger Mountain is called a mountain, it is naturally not low, and it is still more than twice as high as the Xishan Gang in Yuncheng County, which was attacked at the beginning. However, the location of the White Tiger Village on the mountain is not so high, the cottage is only built on the mountainside, although the mountain road is narrow and difficult to climb, but it is not steep to the point of natural danger, but it is not so easy to launch a back attack on the enemy who has been prepared from the bottom up.

In addition, the White Tiger Village at the foot of the mountain was easily occupied by the official army at this time. Originally, there were dozens or hundreds of bandits left in this village, but after the Kong brothers and the remaining people were defeated and retreated, it only took one night to bring everyone up the mountain. In the absence of geographical advantages and more means of defense, the Baihu Mountain people, who had already suffered a lot of losses under the hands of the official army, did not dare to fight head-on with the Qingzhou army. However, although the people ran up the mountain, because they were in a hurry, many things in the Zhuangzi were left behind, including some grain and money.

After Sun Tu arrived at Baihu Mountain, he did not let the army rest on the spot, but quickly recruited several important generals under him in front of him and discussed taking advantage of the situation to attack Baihu Mountain. These more than 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers have now been divided into three battalions of A, B and C plus a scout battalion by Sun Tu, in addition to Luda Yang Zhi and a few of them, he also promoted several steady and daring sergeants from the army as a battalion commander, at this time he was giving his own orders to these commanders:

"Zhou Xing, you led the three hundred brothers of the Jiazi Battalion to attack White Tiger Mountain immediately. Remember, I'm not in a hurry to take this mountain now, you just have to fight steadily, and the most important thing is to let the soldiers really understand the cruelty and killing methods of the battlefield. Also, just in case, let the shield bearer go to the forefront. The B battalion and the C battalion are preparing in the rear, obeying the order to attack the mountain in turn! ”

Several battalion commanders all clenched their fists to receive the order, and then Zhou Xing of the Jiazi battalion rushed out in a hurry, and after a few shouts, more than 300 sergeants of the Jiazi battalion quickly assembled into a team, set up a formation, and launched an attack on the rugged and narrow mountain road.

The bandits of Baihu Mountain on the mountain couldn't help but be a little frightened when they saw that the official army would launch an offensive as soon as they arrived, and immediately some people turned around and ran to report to their own leader, and soon Kong Liang, who was slightly injured, came to the wall built of wood with an angry face, and after observing it, he decisively ordered: "Let them come up, and then attack with the stones we have prepared." I want these officers and soldiers to know that I am powerful in Baihu Mountain, but I can't provoke it casually! Even if his two brothers were defeated by trauma, he still had enough confidence in the defense ability of the cottage. In order to prevent this day, the White Tiger Village has hoarded a lot of thick stones and giant trees!

Seeing that the thieves on the mountain were temporarily holding their troops still, the sergeants of the A-shaped battalion were even more encouraged, and the pace of rushing up was getting faster and faster. They knew that the scout battalion and the bandits had fought head-on before, thinking that if the scout battalion could be outnumbered, then there could be no problem with themselves, not to mention that the strength of the Jiazi battalion alone was not under the White Tiger Mountain.

In the midst of the shouts and shouts of killing, the Jiazi battalion soon rushed to a distance of dozens of zhang, and saw that there was only a mountain road left from the gate of Baihu Village, and many sergeants had already shown their short bows, just waiting for the enemy to show their heads

Shoot them with a bow and arrows.

But at this moment, a sudden voice came from the mountain: "Release!" Then there was the clatter of swords slashing against the ropes and vines, and a moment later there was a rumbling sound from above, and pieces of rocks the size of millstones had rolled down the steep mountain road, and although there was still some distance, the momentum of the crash was already terrifying.

Zhou Xing's face immediately changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly roared: "Everyone retreat, the shield hand step forward!" ”

At this time, it finally showed that the elite of this Qingzhou army was different from other official armies. If it were another army, in the face of such an attack, I am afraid that many people would have to lose their positions and turn around and run, so that this narrow and steep mountain road would be crowded with more than 300 people, and even many sergeants would die because of pushing and trampling, not to mention that there were big rocks rolling in the rear.

But these Qingzhou soldiers really didn't have the slightest confusion after hearing the order, everyone retreated in an orderly manner, and at the same time, those tall and strong shield soldiers strode forward in a roar, and the shields that were one person high on one side had been smashed into the dirt by them, blocking the front of the team obliquely.

By the time all this was done quickly, the rocks had already been smashed with a bang, and they all slammed into the rows of shields. After all, this kind of force of nature is not something that can be easily resisted by manpower, and in a moment, the shield soldiers at the front can no longer bear it and fall, and can only be resisted by the help of their companions behind, and then the shields continue to break, and the soldiers fall......

But it was precisely because of these shield soldiers in front of them that the sergeants in the rear were able to calmly retreat backwards, and when they came to an open spot below, everyone quickly dispersed. In this way, no matter how much the rocks roll down, they won't do much damage. After this wave of rocks stopped, Zhou Xing shouted: "Jiazi Battalion, rush!" "Again lead the army upwards and storm fiercely.

When the bandits on the mountain saw this, their faces changed greatly, and then they knew that they had really encountered a strong enemy this time. You must know that in the past, when they clashed with the official army, they could kill the officers and soldiers with heavy casualties with just this move, but today they only knocked down more than 30 shield soldiers, and the opponent did not hurt their bones at all.

Moreover, these stones are dozens or hundreds of catties, and it will take a lot of work to rearrange them again, and at this time, the enemy will kill, and they will have no time to put the stones again. Seeing this, Kong Liang could only shout: "Brothers, kill me and beat them back!" As he spoke, he jumped down, brandishing his sword and going up.

The other bandits also knew that they must not retreat at this time, and at that moment, more than a hundred bandits howled and rushed down. They are more familiar with the mountain roads and environment here, and they know that it doesn't make much use if there are more people, and a hundred or so people are enough to completely block the roads here.

So in the blink of an eye, hundreds of men and horses started a close battle on the mountain road that was still more than ten zhang away from the cottage, and the shouts and screams sounded from time to time. Although there were many officers and soldiers, they could not all join the battle for a while, so they did not take any advantage, but were slightly inferior because of the fact that the terrain was occupied.

At the foot of the mountain, Sun Tu, who was standing in front of the army, frowned slightly, although he expected such a situation, he was still a little dissatisfied: "It's one thing to practice in peacetime, but when you really get to the battlefield, there is still one."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

That's a lot of shortcomings. Zhou Xing was also too anxious, just led people to fight and rush, if we could use more strategies, our situation would not be so difficult. ”

Several generals on the side nodded approvingly, and Yang Zhi even said: "If he can distribute the soldiers and horses in a layered manner, and then use another trick to deceive and lure the enemy, maybe he can really make a contribution." ”

These words were heard by the two commanders of the B battalion and the C battalion beside them, which made them immediately have confidence, and they all looked at Sun Tu: "Eunuch, if you go on like this, the casualties of the A battalion are not small, it is better to ......"

Sun Tu nodded: "Mingjin, let them retreat one after another, and change the brothers of the B-word camp to go up." "This attack on Baihu Mountain, he didn't plan to defeat it in one battle, but intended to train with battle, so that the Qingzhou soldiers under his command could see blood and know what the battlefield was, so it was also a strategy for the battalions to take turns attacking the mountain.

Zhou Xing had just slashed a bandit at this time, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to step forward, but the sound of Mingjin retreating from the mountain suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain, which made him only snort hatefully: "Cheap you, withdraw!" ”

Although it had decided to retreat, the army remained unrelenting, constantly fighting the enemy while slowly retreating, and even killing several bandits who were in a hurry to pursue. Seeing this, Kong Liang also knew that it was impossible to pursue anymore, so he could only whistle, stop the pursuit with his brothers, and watch the people of the Jiazi battalion retreat calmly.

In this battle, the Jiazi battalion suffered eighty casualties, but it also killed and injured more than 30 White Tiger Mountain bandits, which was caused by the attack of the mountain rocks at the beginning, which made the thieves of White Tiger Mountain really understand how strong the combat power of this Qingzhou official army is.

When Kong Liang withdrew to the front of the cottage, his face was already a little gloomy, and looking at the thousands of officers and soldiers under the mountain, he was afraid for the first time: "If the officials and soldiers under the mountain are so capable of fighting, can we really hold it?" ”

At this time, a voice sounded from behind him: "Second brother, don't grow up the ambition of others, and destroy the majesty of my White Tiger Mountain." We still have a trick to use, and as long as we prepare for one night, the mountain rock can still make the officers and soldiers suffer! But it was Kong Ming who also came to the front of the village with injuries. It's just that he said it nicely, but there was still deep worry in his eyes, and the only thing he could do now was to use these words to boost the morale of the army.

But the subsequent actions of the officers and soldiers proved that their fears were indeed correct. Because just after the A-word battalion retreated down the mountain, the drums in the officers and troops started again, and the B-shaped battalion launched an attack on Baihu Mountain again. Moreover, after having the experience of the A-shaped battalion, their actions were more cautious and organized, so they simply put the shield soldiers in front and slowly advanced upward with firm steps.

Seeing this, Kong Liang could only grit his teeth and lead people to kill again to block the official army. But this time, the other party was more targeted, and the more than 100 brothers he newly led not only did not rely on the geographical advantage to take advantage, but were strangled by them by retreating into the battle, and suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the fact that Kong Ming was wounded and killed, and the sky was getting dark, it was not conducive to attacking the mountain and causing the officers and soldiers to withdraw their troops again, I was afraid that Kong Liang would be in danger. But even so, in this rematch, the officers and soldiers exchanged nearly 50 lives of the other party with more than 30 casualties, which can be regarded as making up for the previous losses......
