Chapter Seventy-Eight

On the eighth day of October, after a day and two nights of rest, the Eastern Army made a comeback and lined up under Emei Plateau. Gao Huan led the generals in front and personally pressed the formation.

This time, Gao Huan learned to be obedient, and he didn't see him wave his troops to attack, so he only taught the soldiers and the people to dig loess and pour it into the cloth bag to make thick soil bags. I have been busy for a long time, and I don't know how many soil bags have been made, and they are piled up as high as a hill.

Then there were tall soldiers in front of them, all of them raised huge shields, and rushed up to the hill in a horizontal row, as if a shield wall had been built in the flat ground. Sure enough, an arrow was shot from the stone castle, and the Tai Bandu Sect blocked it, making it difficult to hurt people.

The drums rumbled, and the wrestlers carried the soil bags and rushed to the southern slope of Emei Plateau. When they got closer, the shield wall moved away slightly, and one by one the earth sacs were thrown down and thrown into the trench.

The more the arrow rain on the fort became, the more likely they shot down some wrestlers, but after all, they couldn't stop this "torrent". Soon after, the ditch was filled in. The shieldmen shouted, marched forward in unison, and with one foot on the earth, as solid as the ground, they strode forward until they reached the foot of the stone fort.

He was followed by a great crowd of archers, and when they came near, they threw their bows with all their might. The arrows rained down, and the soldiers of the Western Army on the top of the fort fell to the ground one after another, and they no longer dared to stand upright, so they naturally could not throw stones under the fort.

The wrestlers came back again, and this time they began to pile up soil bags directly along the walls of the stone fort, layer after layer, level after level, and patience.

In this way, a wide gentle slope appeared in front of the stone fort, and all the way to the top of the fort. But this slope is piled up, and the eastern army can go up the slope and easily reach the top of the fort.

At the top of the fort, a soldier of the Western Army boldly stretched out his head, only glanced at it, and when he retracted it, his face turned pale and his voice trembled: "East thief... Do you dare to pile up a mountain of dirt and climb up directly? ”

。。。。。。

Under Emei, Sun Teng couldn't stop laughing: "The king's method of attacking the city is clever, clever, clever." The thief is really helpless, just waiting to be caught, hahahaha! ”

Gao Huan snorted lightly, and his tense face eased slightly.

At about sunset, the soil slope finally reached the top of the fort, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army, who were ready to go, rushed up and jumped into the fort one after another. The Western Army has only 100 defenders, how can it be the enemy? Since it is a non-pull, it is tied.

Gao Huan laughed, because he saw that it was getting late, so he ordered the troops to stay and return to the camp.

。。。。。。

On the ninth day of October, the Eastern Army did the same, trying to capture the second trench and stone fort in one fell swoop. I didn't want Pei Guo to add two more arrow towers to the side of this line of defense, and his firepower increased sharply. The defenders' arrows are like flying locusts, shooting condescendingly, even the shield soldiers of the Eastern Army have taught to shoot down a lot, and the bearer is even more of a misser who has been hit by the arrow, and the soil bag slope has never been able to pile up.

After fighting until dark, the Eastern Army returned in vain, and Gao Huan was furious.

On the tenth day of the first month, Xue Guyan wore heavy armor and a thick shield on his shoulders, and braved the rain to go to the front of the battle. With an iron axe in his hand, he cut open the fence of the arrow tower with a few strokes, and then he had to attack the upper floor, and with only one sweep, he was about to slash the defenders to pieces.

On the other side, Hu Luguang was invincible, and in more than half an hour, he shot down twenty-seven archers of the Western Army one after another, so frightened that the defenders in the arrow tower did not dare to show their heads. The Eastern Army took advantage of the situation to storm and soon pulled down the building.

The arrow towers on both sides were gone, and the stone fort in the middle was isolated, so the white flag had to be erected.

。。。。。。

On the morning of the 11th, when the Eastern Army went to the third stone fort, they found that the gate of the fort was open, and it was quiet, and there was no sound at all. When I went in, it turned out that people had already gone to the fort. Thinking that the Western Army knew that it was invincible, it opened the fort gate yesterday night and ran away.

The news reached the Emei Plateau, and Gao was overjoyed.

"The thief's courage is gone!" Sun Teng shook his head and shook his head: "Breaking this jade city is just around the corner." ”

Everyone said yes.

Gayin attacked the fort for several days, the soldiers and horses were also tired, and because of the suppression of the firepower of the stone fort, the arrows in the army cost a lot of money, and it was urgent to replenish, Gao Huan ordered the fight to stop for a day, and the armies rested. The craftsmen of the people worked tirelessly, making every effort to make soil bags and arrows for later use.

。。。。。。

Probably realizing that the odds of victory were in hand, Gao Huan had a banquet in the camp that night, drank a lot, and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly broke into the tent, his voice was frightened, and he screamed to wake Gao Huan up.

Gao Huan was still drinking, and he was in a daze, and he was already unhappy, and when he was about to get angry, the man cried to himself: "King! Oh no, the western thief suddenly killed out of Yubi City, and took advantage of the night to hit my camp... ”

"What?" Gao Huan was excited, most of the wine woke up, and he hurriedly jumped up, and before he could put on it, he opened the tent barefoot.

Outside the tent, it can be seen that there is a fire at the front of the camp, and the shouts of killing are bursting... Fortunately, Dongying is really grand, and it will not affect the Chinese army's tent for a while.

Gao Huan suddenly changed color and regretted. He knew that there was a banquet last night, and many generals and colonels in the army were drunk, so why not slack off? I didn't want the western thieves to be cunning, so I deliberately abandoned the third stone fort, so that my army underestimated the enemy, and this time it caused trouble. . .

Gao Huan was so anxious that he had nothing to do--- at this moment, the situation was not clear at all, and he didn't know where to shout if he wanted to shout, but what should he do?

Several subordinates around him were already calling: "The body of the king is ten thousand gold, it is better to retreat first... ”

Gao Huan's face tensed, and he glared at him fiercely, without moving a single step.

After thinking for a while, Gao Huan suddenly lifted his breath and yelled: "Someone! Put me up, and then set the fire on fire, I want to teach the world to see clearly, this time I am happy, never take a step back! ”
