Chapter 135: It's not easy to attack the mountain
More than 100 catties of stone bullets, condescending, like a bamboo, ploughed out more than ten gaps in the army under the mountain.
Those who were directly hit by stone bullets, whether it was soldiers or generals, or chariots, etc., were instantly smashed into powder.
The residual momentum of the stone bullet is unabated, and some stone bullets will jump up after hitting the target, and they can also form secondary or tertiary damage.
After some stone bullets hit the target, they can still rampage through the crowd, and many people can't dodge, and they are either killed or injured when they are grazed by such stone bullets.
There are also stone projectiles whose quality is not up to par, and after hitting the target, they will be like fairies scattering flowers, and they will directly shatter into many small stones.
This kind of rubble with huge kinetic energy, flying everywhere, is the most deadly.
Within three feet of this kind of stone projectile, there will be almost no living holes.
Whether it is the iron armor or leather armor of Zhang Lujun's soldiers, under the obscenity of the stone bullet, it will not help at all!
Of course, not all stone bullets can hit the target.
After all, most of the soldiers who operate trebuchets are still novices.
The stone bullets rained down, bringing up bursts of residual value and broken arms, and Zhang Lu's army was in chaos in an instant.
The stone bullet shattered Zhang Lu's big sword, and Zhang Lu's own soldiers were also killed and injured by the stone bullet. However, Zhang Lu's war horse was frightened, and he took him to break through the Chinese army and rushed to the side far away.
Zhang Lu was originally in a carriage and was escorted by the Chinese army.
When passing through the mouth of the Meridian Valley, Zhang Lu's carriage broke down, and in desperation, Zhang Lu had to ride a horse.
Because of this, Zhang Lu escaped a catastrophe.
Frightened, Zhang Lu soon discovered the source of the stone bullet.
Looking up at the defense, Zhang Lu gritted his teeth: "Attack the mountain for me!" ”
According to the long sword, the pro-soldiers who had just gathered quickly blended into the chaotic crowd to convey the military orders of the lord Zhang Lu.
As the lord of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu is naturally familiar with the terrain in Hanzhong.
He knew that Phoenix Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, now it has to be attacked.
Because, Phoenix Mountain just stopped his Zhang Lu's attack on Xicheng County's road.
It is true that Zhang Lu can ignore the loss of troops, and the whole army quickly passes through the foot of Phoenix Mountain and directly attacks Xicheng County.
However, in this way, he Zhang Lu will suffer from the enemy on his back, and even the grain road is in danger.
Therefore, since there are enemy troops stationed on Phoenix Mountain, he Zhang Lu must pull out this nail.
……
Stone bullets are still raining down, and with every breath, dozens of people are killed and injured by stone bullets. No
Well, with the organization of pro-soldiers, the chaotic army was soon organized.
Groups of crossbowmen, guarded by sword and shield soldiers, began to attack the mountain pass.
Naturally, the sword and shield soldiers can't defend themselves against stone bullets.
However, the sword and shield soldiers guarded the crossbowmen and attacked upwards along the mountain path, and the trebuchets on the mountain were no longer a threat to them.
The section of the mountain road at the foot of the mountain was not guarded by enemy troops, and Zhang Lu's army advanced quickly.
It's just that the sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen have just climbed three or five feet, and they have been dealt a devastating blow:
A few stone bullets rolled down the narrow mountain path from the top of the mountain.
The sword and shield soldiers who stood in the front could only watch the stone bullets bombard, but they couldn't even run away or dodge. The mountain road is narrow, there are cliffs or cliffs on the left and right, rolling stone bullets in front, and crowded friendly forces in the back, where can they hide?
The stone bullet instantly crushed the sword and shield soldiers, and then the crossbowmen hiding behind, and occasionally the corpse blocked the stone bullet, but there were still a few stone bullets behind the stone bullet. Under the huge kinetic energy, the corpse could not stop the momentum of the stone bullet.
When the stone bullet finally stopped at the foot of the mountain, the narrow mountain road three or five zhang long became a bloody road in an instant.
There are only a few guys who see the opportunity quickly, and when they see that the situation is wrong, some people jump off the cliff directly, and some people jump directly backwards to the foot of the mountain.
Attacking the mountain, it seems to be at a stalemate?
Zhang Lu took several generals, as well as the strategist Yang Song, hiding behind a boulder at the foot of the mountain, discussing countermeasures.
At this time, the stone bullets were still roaring, but the army had already scattered and avoided the range of the trebuchet.
Only a few wounded and sick were still wailing within the range of the stone bullet bombardment, suffering the devastation of the stone bullet.
"It's mid-autumn now, it's a pity that the enemy army had the foresight to cut down all the grass and trees on the mountain, otherwise, we can try to attack the mountain with goods." Yang Song stuck his head out of the boulder and looked up at the situation on Phoenix Mountain.
"The mountain road of Phoenix Mountain is steep and narrow, and the enemy army has prepared rolling wood and stones on the mountain, and these rolling wood and stones have not been consumed. Yang Song analyzed.
"So, what can we do about this Phoenix Mountain?" Zhang Lu gasped, his eyes glaring at Phoenix Mountain viciously. You know, just now, he Zhang Lu, the male master of the Hanzhong generation, was almost reimbursed by a stone bullet!
Yang Song looked at the sky, then looked at the Phoenix Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and suggested: "Lord, night is coming. ”
Zhang Lu was a little surprised at first when he heard this, Yang Song's answer seemed to be a bit bull's head and wrong for the horse's mouth.
It's just that, following Yang Song's line of sight, Zhang Lu found that it was only an hour or two before it got dark at this time.
Zhang Lu's IQ is not low, and he instantly understood what Yang Song meant.
Since you can't storm Phoenix Mountain during the day, why not attack it at night?
At night, the sight of the enemy and the enemy is blocked, and the enemy troops on the mountain are no longer easy to let go of the rolling stones.
As long as there are soldiers who can kill and injure the mountain, there is nothing to fear about the low gathering on the mountain.
"Alright then, let's set up camp near Phoenix Mountain, and wait for night to fall!"
Zhang Lu sighed, but he was particularly unwilling in his heart.
Soon, Zhang Lujun withdrew his troops, and the army set up camp about five miles away from Phoenix Mountain.
……
On Phoenix Mountain, watching the enemy army under the mountain Mingjin withdraw his troops and set up camp, Pang Tong still has some pity.
The trebuchet just now, Pang Tong felt very good, but it was a pity that Zhang Lu's army withdrew too quickly, if Tang Pang Tong bombarded for half an hour and killed him Zhang Lu 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, he Pang Tong still dared to guarantee it.
Just now, the trebuchet only used a small half of the incense for a while, how many enemy soldiers can be killed, Pang Tong really has no spectrum.
"Are all the traps on the mountain ready?" Looking at the enemy camp, Pang Tong was asking a few of his own soldiers around him.
The captain of the pro-soldier replied: "Bow to the military division, at the designated position of the military division, the soldiers have already prepared a trap, just waiting for the fish to take the bait." Now, the soldiers are not resting, and in other places, they are still preparing traps! ”
Pang Tong bowed: 'That's very good, we always have to surprise the enemy army, don't we?' ’
In the battle just now, there was no short-handed encounter, and the 3,000 soldiers were idle on the mountain.
So, Pang Tong had an idea and asked the soldiers to prepare traps everywhere on the mountain.
Because, Pang Tong felt that if the enemy army failed to attack the mountain, a night attack would be staged if it was not done well.
He has the beauty of an adult, and he always has to satisfy the wishes of the enemy, right?
