Chapter Eighty-One: Attacking the Mountain
At dawn the next day, the good climate made his vision much more open, and Song Guo got up and went up the mountain before most of the soldiers woke up, and approached Fajiu Mountain to observe the enemy situation under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards.
After returning from the inspection, Song Guo fell into deep thought, at first he thought that the Montenegrin army would set up camp on a dangerous road and hold the enemy in danger, but he did not expect that Sun Qing would choose to garrison the top of Fajiu Mountain.
There is a vast flat land on the top of the Fat Dove Mountain, called the windless platform, according to legend, it is the ancient times that the common workers did not compete for the status of the mountain, and the head hit the mountain after getting angry, so that the pillar of heaven was broken, and the place where the pillar of heaven was broken was this windless platform.
He took out the map that the lieutenant had brought with him yesterday, it was rather clumsily, but the basic terrain was clearly delineated, at least every difficult mountain road was marked in it.
Song Guo pressed his index finger on the map, and while moving slowly, he said to himself: "Although the top of Fa Gu Mountain can overlook the entire battlefield, once the army surrounds the mountain, how can they hold on?" Where does water and food come from? ”
Like Song Guo's thoughts, Sun Qing felt that it was indeed a good choice to camp in the mountains, if the Montenegrin army chose to camp on a dangerous road, then he could let go and fight to the death with the Bingzhou army.
If he gives up Fajiu Mountain and sticks to Muju, once the Montenegrin army retreats westward, with only his little strength, there is no danger to defend, and it may be difficult to stop.
The Dove Mountain must be taken, and taking the Dove Mountain is to cut off the road of the Montenegrin Army's westward retreat in the real sense, and the Dove Mountain is a battleground for this war, and it is very important for the enemy and us.
Thinking of this, Song Guo shook his head, he admired the enemy general, but also felt that it was very tricky.
"Fuck it, die or die......" The so-called Lu of eating the king, sharing the worries for the king, Song Guo finally decided to choose to take the initiative, once the occupation of Fajiu Mountain, the entire west is like an iron bucket, the Montenegrin army wants to retreat from here, unless the gods descend from the sky.
"Someone!" After figuring it out, Song Guo got up and shouted outside the tent.
The adjutant general stepped into the tent with his sword in his hand, hugged his fists and said, "What does the general command?" ”
"Gather your troops and prepare to attack Mount Faha." Song Guo's voice was resolute.
The deputy general was startled, and hurriedly said: "Wen Hou let us guard, once we ......"
Song Guo committed the crime: "What nonsense, if you are told to go, I will take care of everything alone, and it has nothing to do with others." ”
Seeing that the lieutenant general did not move, he immediately shouted: "Why don't you go quickly? ”
"No!" Seeing that Song Guo didn't seem to be joking, the deputy general hurriedly took the order to retreat.
Sun Qing watched as the Bingzhou army under the mountain slowly unfolded its formation, starting to ascend the mountain from all directions, and then dispersed into several relatively small formations and expanded to both sides of Fajiu Mountain.
"General, do you want to rush and kill before the enemy's encirclement is formed?" The adjutant general looked out from afar by the railing, and saw that the enemy was in an extremely loose formation when climbing, and suggested loudly to Sun.
"No, you don't." Sun lightly pinched his chin and shook his head: "This result is meaningless, they have a lot of soldiers, and they will make up for it soon, and they will only hurt our soldiers." ”
His meaning is obvious, the army is guarding the Fajiu Mountain, the enemy is coming, he will defend, the enemy will retreat, he will not pursue, as long as the Fajiu Mountain is there, this westward retreat channel is there.
In fact, he was right, at least Song Guo didn't dare to ignore Sun Qing, and attacked the eldest son directly through Fajiu Mountain, otherwise Sun Qing would cut off his retreat, and then the 10,000 combined state army would really die and have no place to be buried.
This is Sun Qing's reliance.
The siege of the state army was about to be formed, and the Montenegrin army on the mountain still did not move, but the gate was closed, and the soldiers in cloth clothes stood in the gate and watched the changes, motionless.
Song Guo was slightly disappointed, although the formation of the state army was a little scattered, but the route of the march could echo each other from afar, as long as the Montenegrin army planned to go down the mountain to attack any place, several phalanxes could immediately assemble and gather and annihilate it.
It's a pity that such a well-designed trap, the generals of the Black Mountain Army actually turned a blind eye, whether it was really unwise, cowardly, or otherwise, Song Guo had no way of knowing.
"Let the pioneer battalion try it and see if we can take the front village." Song Guo looked up at the top of the Fat Dove Mountain, pointed to a front camp of the Black Mountain Army, and said.
"No!" The lieutenant general was ordered to go.
Shaoqing, a thousand soldiers who died first were ready to go, and with Song Guo's order, the state army was holding a shield and under the cover of crossbowmen, wanting to start attacking the front village of the Montenegrin army.
The beginning went well, and the state army advanced hundreds of feet in one go, and the Montenegrin army remained silent throughout.
But when they were only fifty meters away from the Black Mountain Army's village, suddenly there was a bang, and the Black Mountain Army's gate was wide open, and hundreds of soldiers pushed huge stones and rolled out of the gate.
Boom
Dozens of boulders poured down, roaring down the mountain, and the Bingzhou troops attacking the camp looked up, only to see the black rolling boulders sweeping towards them with a roar.
The army screamed and retreated, but how could their legs run past the boulders that flowed down, and the raging rolling stones mixed with broken branches and stones rushed from the top of the mountain, and everywhere they went, they were devastated.
With a heart-rending scream, many Bingzhou soldiers were smashed to the point of bursting their brains, and died tragically on the spot, and even more unstable, being carried by boulders and rolling down into the abyss.
The screams of the dying made the scalp tingle of the hearer.
The Bingzhou army, who had narrowly escaped the catastrophe, returned to the front of the battle, their legs were still trembling, they were not afraid of death, but anyone who encountered this situation would have this reaction.
It's terrifying.
Song Guo gritted his teeth with hatred, judging from the current situation, even if he had 100,000 soldiers and horses, it would not be enough to toss like this.
"What? Do you want to burn us? When Song Guo was thinking about how to capture Xiajiu Mountain, there was suddenly an exclamation from behind him, followed by a huge shout.
He turned his head to look, only to see a captain on the flat ground near the cliff, pointing at the guy and scolding, his face flushed slightly, obviously angry.
And the guy lowered his head and let the captain beat and scold, without saying a word.
"Stop, Wen Hou has already ordered that you are not allowed to beat and scold the soldiers, otherwise you will be punished for rebellion!" Song Guo snatched the captain's whip with his hand and scolded with a cold face.
The lieutenant hurriedly defended: "The general just set fire to us and wanted to burn us to death. ”
"I didn't." The man explained in a low voice: "I saw that it was getting late, and I wanted to make a fire to cook, but as soon as the fire was lit, the wind direction suddenly changed, fortunately the general found it in time, otherwise it would ......"
He didn't go on, because the matter was just as the lieutenant had said, and the fire had just been burned by the wind, and it was late autumn, and the grass and trees were withering and multiplying, and the sparks were on the ground.
If the lieutenant hadn't found out in time, I'm afraid that the 10,000 combined state troops would have really burned here.
Song Guo looked behind the man, only to see that the ground behind him was pitch black, and there were sparks dancing in between, obviously just burned out.
"Fire!" Song Guo's brows furrowed, and his gaze fell on the captain: "How did you solve it?" ”
The lieutenant immediately pointed to a pile of turf on the ground and explained, "Cut off the fire and it will naturally be extinguished." ”
Song Guomo rubbed the long hair under his chin, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes fell on Fajiu Mountain, his eyes beating resolutely.
