The flame car was destroyed, and the fire attack method could no longer be carried out. Guo Xu urgently convened a meeting to discuss how to attack. Although today's incident was shocking and had a somewhat damaging effect on the morale of the officers and men, the war had just begun, and the 160,000-strong army of officers and men had only lost their skins, but in fact they had not been hurt at all. Therefore, Guo Xu is actually depressed and annoyed, but he will not lose confidence.

At the meeting, the generals put forward many attack plans, but they were ultimately vetoed by Guo Xu one by one. What Guo Xu wants is a direct, simple and crude approach, that is, the whole army storms the cottage and breaks the cottage at all costs. Crush your opponent with absolute superiority.

The generals were speechless, originally everyone tended to divide the troops in a roundabout way, but now the army has captured the Dongshan Gorge and the soldiers are under the opponent's main village, which is conducive to the time when the soldiers and horses are interspersed with detours in the north and south. At this moment, the other party will not have the spare strength to ambush the interspersed soldiers and horses like the battle of Bowangpo. Therefore, if there are soldiers and horses interspersed with the side of Jiming Mountain and Beidashan and attack from three sides at the same time, it should be the best choice. However, the emperor was reluctant to do this, saying that 'such an act is too much, but it will make the mountain bandits think that our officers and soldiers are cowardly.' 'Yunyun. It's incredible.

Everyone secretly analyzed that the emperor must be extremely angry in his heart, so angry that he has lost his mind. The army has suffered repeated setbacks since the attack, and the emperor has actually lost patience. It's not impossible to force an attack, but there are too many variables to do. The opponent's fortifications on the hillside are dense, and this tactic is actually unwise. To put it bluntly, it is to fight for the lives of the soldiers. Even if it succeeds in the end, it will come at a huge cost.

And the emperor is obviously impatient, he hopes to be able to resolve the battle quickly, and does not want to have any more plans. Moreover, his statement that 'using tactics will make the other side think that the officers and soldiers are cowardly' is really strange. Some people privately believe that the emperor is a sign of lack of confidence. Obviously, the emperor's idea is based on being crushed by Lin Jue's IQ. He began to worry in his heart that any fancy tricks would be seen through by Lin Jue, which would lead to even more embarrassing consequences. So he simply gave up all his thoughts and only used hard power to fight with Lin Jue. In this case, Lin Jue's resourcefulness could not give full play to any advantages.

I have to say that there is some truth in the analysis of these people. Although Guo Xu did not reveal his inner thoughts. But he really has no confidence in fighting with Lin Jue in his heart. What a conceited man he was, thinking that his resourcefulness was unparalleled, and no one in the world could match. But after a series of fights with Lin Jue, he finally had the heart to give up, and finally had to admit that it was a mistake to fight IQ and strategy with Lin Jue. He should solve the problem in a simple and crude way of doing things that he is good at. As he had done in the first place in the matter of appointing the crown prince, no plan was as direct as the last resort of slaughter. In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to do any unrealistic and fancy behavior.

Of course, Guo Xu knew the price to be paid for forcibly attacking the mountain, and he was not blind to the layers of fortifications on the rugged and steep slopes. But he thinks he can afford it.

The generals could not convince Guo Xu, so they had to obey the order to prepare for the attack on the hillside. There is no doubt that the superiority in forces is enormous. So the generals weren't particularly depressed by this. The crowd decided to launch an attack in the early afternoon, trying to conquer the opponent's main village before dark.

As soon as the order was issued, the officers and men immediately went into action, this time with 30,000 infantry as the vanguard, and the forbidden army mobilized 6,000 bows and arrows as cover. The rest of the troops and horses are ready to launch a fierce attack at any time. Although the generals of the box soldiers are reluctant in every way, their existence is cannon fodder, but they also have self-knowledge. The reason why only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were launched to attack was because of the limited terrain. Attacking with 30,000 soldiers and horses at the same time is already the limit. The rocky slopes of Beishan are steep, and there are only a dozen slopes that can be attacked, and too many soldiers and horses participating in the attack will be congested with each other, which is counterproductive.

In the early afternoon, the war drums and trumpets sounded in the valley. In the sound of trumpets and war drums, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses began to attack the eastern slope of Dazhai in Luoyan Valley. It has to be said that the officers and soldiers have made full preparations, and even the soldiers have standard armor to protect themselves, and the officers and soldiers who attack the mountain have a shield in their hands.

Six thousand forbidden archers fired arrows at the hillside, and the soldiers shrunk behind their shields and began to climb up the steep hillside. 30,000 soldiers and horses spread all over the slopes below Dongshan, densely packed, like a swarm of ants. The slopes of the hill that had passed the fire in the morning were bare, and the rocks and ground were still a little scorching, but they could no longer stop the opponent's attack.

The attack took a long time, and the suppressed bows and arrows had been fired more than a dozen rounds, and the quivers of the archers of the forbidden army had been shot empty. The soldiers and horses also climbed a hundred paces up under the cover of rocks and terrain, and they did not suffer any blows from the other side. This is really suspicious.

But this emboldened the attacking soldiers, who began to rush upwards at a faster pace, with a gentle ridge below the mountainside in front of them. If you can rush there, you will complete the first phase of the attack, and you can adjust it a little here. According to the pre-arrangement, if you can attack the mountainside, you can let a large number of archers get closer to the mountainside, and the heavy soldiers and horses of the forbidden army will carry the bed crossbow up the mountainside, and break through the denser arrow towers above one by one.

Although it was a strong attack, it was obvious that the officers and men would not be in a hurry. They have a lot of means at their disposal.

However, just when the attacking soldiers thought that they could attack the gentle mountain beam in one go, the long-awaited counterattack of the other party arrived. Countless human heads emerged from the stone fortifications above, and arrows rained down like rain, pouring in the crowd of people attacking the mountain, dense and fierce.

Fortunately, the soldiers were mentally prepared, and they immediately shrank behind their shields and hid behind the rocks. Although this round of arrow rain was violent, the damage caused to the soldiers was not great. The shield and terrain allowed them to escape the fate of being shot into a hedgehog. A round of arrows rained down, killing only dozens of people and wounding more than 100 people. For the 30,000 soldiers attacking the mountain, this is just a superficial wound, and there will be no blocking effect at all.

"Kill, rush." The leading general shouted, and in the interval between the rain of arrows, the soldiers rushed up from behind the rocks for more than a dozen steps, and then hid between the mountains and rocks.

This is exactly the method of attacking the mountains that I have been training in the past month. It is an inch-inch-leapfrog jumping tactic. In the interval between the opponent's attacks, attack upwards in an inch manner, and you can approach the enemy step by step. In the end, the goal of rushing forward in one blow and entangled with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat was achieved. This tactic is even more effective on the slopes of the East Mountain, where there are things to dodge. The enemy's arrow firepower was not ferocious, and it seemed that there were only a few thousand people scattered in a dozen attack points. There is a serious under-representation.

Several times the leap and leap, the officers and men had approached the opponent's fortifications less than 20 paces. If it weren't for the steep terrain, these twenty steps would have been able to withstand the opponent's attack and rush straight up. But after all, it was a steep hill, so the generals who led the army decided to rush up in two parts. After occupying this opponent's fortification, it has initially seized control of the mountainside below, and it can be prepared for subsequent battles.

"Rush!" After a rain of arrows, the leading general gave the order.

All the soldiers jumped out from behind the rocks, shouting and rushing upward. But at this moment, there was a terrible sound of bamboo whistles from above. The moment the bamboo whistle sounded, the tall fortification wall above suddenly collapsed in view, and a long wall of fortifications made of rocks suddenly turned into stones rolling down the mountains. Smoke and dust rose from the hillside, as if it were a flood from the hillside, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into the formation of attacking soldiers.

The boulders collided with each other, and countless pieces of rubble flew out. There was choking smoke and stone chips everywhere. When the rolling stone hits the unstable stone on the hillside, it is wrapped in it and rolls downward, as if half of the hillside under the mountainside has been driven by the rolling stone and tumbling and pouring down.

The result can be imagined, under the rushing rocks, the soldiers on the hillside are unlucky. The shield can protect against arrows, but it is difficult to prevent falling stones. Behind the rocks was a safe place to hide, but at the moment it was the most unsafe place, and it became the most fatal. With such a steep hill, even if a fist-sized rock rolls down from a height of twenty or thirty paces and hits your body, it will definitely be enough for you to drink a pot. What's more, it was a huge boulder the size of a millstone rolling down the mountain, mixed with many stones of different sizes.

The soldiers who rushed to the front bore the brunt, and the boulder fell on them, rolling them upside down like wooden dolls. Many people tried to dodge, they jumped to show their dexterity, but it was doomed to be in vain, they couldn't dodge the fifteenth year of the first year, they couldn't dodge this stone, they couldn't dodge the other pieces. One by one, the smashed tendons were broken and broken, and they rolled down among the rocks.

Some soldiers concentrated their wisdom, they leaned close together, erected their shields and lay on the ground and shrunk into a ball, trying to escape by relying on their shields and their own strength. But it is clearly not wise to do so. Naturally, small stones could not hurt them, but the fall of the boulders could not be resisted by the wooden shields in their hands. As the wooden shield split apart, they were also crushed from the boulder and turned into a blur of flesh and blood.
