Chapter 349: Big Stone

Strange rocks and cliffs can be seen everywhere between the green mountains. It is said that there are gods in Wushan who do not know whether they are true or false, but Guo Shao also feels very mysterious when he is in them. The shouts and screams of the soldiers echoed in the mountains, and the echoes were so reverberating that it sounded really terrifying.

There was already a fight on the mountain, but it didn't take long to see a group of soldiers supporting the wounded soldiers and retreating. Seeing this, Guo Shao knew that he did not blame the striker Dong Zunzhi for his ineffective operation, and it was true that this terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wang Zhaoyuan is still planning to let this military village guard for half a year? Guo Shao turned around and said, "Take the Wushan Military Village today!" ”

Hundreds of heavy armored infantry next to him were ready to go, Guo Shao transferred the command of the first heavy infantry of the First Army in the left wing, and the most well-equipped more than 500 people of the forbidden army were equipped with the latest forged plate armor; There is also chain mail inside, which is fully armed to the mask.

The commander of the first commander was Zhou Tong, Guo Shao made him a platoon envoy during the battle of Er Li, and after the victory, he was awarded the military position of the commander of the forbidden army...... The military generals of the Zhou army relied on military merits, so it was impossible to confer too high a military rank at once. But military merit alone is obviously not necessarily how fast he can rise, Zhou Tong is different, he relies on his relationship with Guo Shao, as long as he tries his best, he will definitely have a future.

Therefore, when Zhou Tong heard Guo Shao's words, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Just wait for Guo Du to give an order, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the last general will never frown!" ”

Guo Shao looked at him and nodded, looked up at the ranks of ironclad elites, and said loudly: "Why did Jing Nan bow down as soon as he saw my army, and why did the world fear the Great Zhou Forbidden Army?" Because we are brave and good at fighting! If you are instigated in a fierce battle, what kind of elite is it called? He pointed to the tiger flag in front of him and said, "May the battle flag on the left side of the Hujie Army be renamed the Tiger Ben Army now, and the honor and prestige are what we fought for from the battle array." I hope that all the soldiers will move forward bravely and set off! ”

"Victory...... Victory......" the army shouted loudly. The soldiers who had just retreated from defeat looked sideways.

The head of the front drew his sword and led a team of four men and horses to take the lead in advancing towards the mountain road. The armies lined up in a narrow line, and there was no way, the road was really not wide.

In the sound of clanging iron armor, the war drums were clattering, urging the blood on the battle array, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. A petty officer was standing on the side of the road, holding a piece of paper and saying loudly: "'The letter from the striker'." Parents and adults under their knees, Wang Shi has entered Wushan, the road is rugged and treacherous, the fierce battle is getting closer, the child knows that this trip is nine deaths, in order to serve the country, to end the war for the unification of the world, no regrets and ......"

The soldiers in front of them were encouraged by the recitation of the family letter, and quickly approached the first line of defense of the Shu army in the mountains under the urging of the war drums, but there were curses and reprimands from the generals, which were mixed with the high-sounding righteous words but were very abrupt.

A stone path that can only be used by two or three people at most is carved out of the stone and is very steep. Along the road, I saw that the Shu army had built fortifications at the intersection above, the earthen walls were wooden, and the wood was arranged very densely with arrows, and there were arrow holes in the middle.

Just approaching a hundred steps, the arrow hole crackled and shot arrows in turn, the arrows were not dense due to the terrain restrictions, but there were only two or three people in front of the Zhou army, and they immediately clanged the arrows. However, the arrow was bounced off the plate armor, and it was useless.

"Kill!" The soldiers saw with their own eyes that the arrows were fine, and they were encouraged, and shouted upwards to attack. At this time, I heard a few gurgling wooden sounds, and a few "pops" sounds, and I saw a few stones flying over my head. With a "bang", a soldier was hit by a stone and fell down screaming in pain. Everyone climbed the mountain road and looked at the sky.

At a distance of a hundred paces, arrows and stone cannons kept flying, and the frequency of the stone cannons was very slow, but the arrows took turns to shoot rapidly from the arrow holes, and I don't know how many rounds were fired. But none of the soldiers of the Zhou army died, and they were all blocked by armor. When it was only one or twenty paces, the two infantry in front of them had been shot like hedgehogs, and if they were too close, the heavy arrows with strength could still shoot through the plate armor, but there was also chain mail inside, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate it, and if they were shot through, they would not be too seriously injured.

The troops poured to the front of the fortifications one after another, the terrain was slightly wider, and the soldiers of the Zhou army stabbed their spears into the arrow holes, and some people held crossbows to shoot at the arrow holes, and there were screams from time to time. At this moment, I saw a big man in iron armor carrying a big ax up, and slammed the axe into the fence, and a large piece collapsed with a "boom", and the Shu army turned around and left from inside. Everyone pushed down the wooden fortifications together, chased them up, shot them from behind with crossbows, and the Shu army fled along the road.

The heavy infantry of the Zhou army here ran slowly and couldn't catch up, so they had to chase after them and continue to climb up.

The first company of the Shu soldiers was broken through several layers of fortifications, and the rout affected the morale of the troops, and the defeat was very fast. They were startled when they saw a group of iron-like soldiers, especially the masks looked scary.

In less than an hour, only a few hundred Zhou troops attacked along the stone path to the top of the mountain. It's a different story...... A slope forty or fifty paces away above was carved into a groove-like shape. A group of defeated Shu soldiers were climbing up the slope, and the soldiers of the Zhou army were shooting with bows and crossbows below, and some people were constantly dying halfway, and some rolled down the steps directly.

Zhou Tong rushed to the front and did not rush to order an attack. I learned from the captives that this section of the road is the most difficult line of defense to break.

Looking up, the fortifications above are extraordinarily different, and the walls of the earth are rammed with bricks, just like the walls of the city. The difference is that the "city gate" is a semi-circular hole below, not like a door for people to walk, but like a dog hole.

Zhou Tong waited for a long time, waiting for the soldiers behind him to come up with stones and other tools, and then ordered a team of more than 20 people to slowly walk up in a sparse formation. On the city wall, bows and arrows were still thrown condescendingly, but there was no way to take the soldiers of the Zhou army. When they reached the halfway point, they counterattacked with bows and crossbows, but instead shot and killed several Shu soldiers.

When I was about to attack under the city wall, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound, and I saw a large round stone being pushed out of the "dog hole". The ramp is high on both sides and low in the middle, restricting the track of the stones, and it follows the road and runs over. The two soldiers in front of them could not escape, they were knocked over by the cobblestone, and they were crushed under the stone with two screams, and suddenly there was no sound, and the stone was stained with a lot of blood, and rolled down the road.

The soldiers of Zhou in the back dropped the stones they were carrying, turned around and ran, but fortunately the team was very sparse. Everyone shouted, "Run!" "As one side goes, he runs down the slope." There was a loud bang, and the cobblestone hit the rock, and immediately jumped up and deflected, and fell straight down the mountain. The heavy stone was also knocked down the broken road, and everyone waited for it to slow down before holding a large wooden stick against it. Then he continued to take the thick hemp rope to lasso, and several people carried it back and forth and continued to walk up.
