Wangwu Mountain, like a tall and gloomy castle, stands in the vast mountains.

On three sides are steep cliffs, and only on one side, there is a long passage that leads to the summit.

This passage resembles two long steps, connected by a gentle strip in between.

The lower steps, the slope is relatively gentle, and the Wangwu Mountain Bandits are not armed, so it is relatively easy to pass. But the upper steps, steep and narrow, forced to attack, the thieves must defend with rolling logs and arrows.

However, there is only one way to attack Wangwu Mountain.

"Shi Jin is willing to take the lead!"

"Lin Chong is also willing to take the lead!"

Qin Qiong nodded. "Shi Jin, give you two hundred people, mainly to test the enemy's defense, and don't risk a strong attack."

"No!"

"Lin Chong, you bring a hundred archers, more feather arrows, in the middle of the mountainside gentle, to meet Shi Jin, in case the attack is unfavorable, the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to attack."

"No!"

Qin Qiong set aside two hundred agile and nimble foot soldiers, took off his heavy armor, and led by Shi Jin, marched up along the long slope.

Another hundred steps of the bow, also unarmed, led by Lin Chong, followed Shi Jin, and marched towards the mountain.

In the first battle of Yong'an, the main force of the Wangwu Mountain bandits was lost. The remnants of the thieves on the mountain, plus the remnants of the soldiers brought back by Ma Jin from Gaodu, are less than a thousand, and most of them are old and weak, and they are no longer able to deploy defenses on the mountainside.

Shi Jin's vanguard department successfully reached the gentle area halfway up the mountain. Looking up, you can already see the figure of thieves running around hurriedly preparing for defense in the cottage.

"Spread out, be careful!" Shi Jin carried a three-pointed knife and took the lead on the steep mountain road, climbing towards the top of the mountain Thief Kou Cottage.

Two hundred steps......

One hundred steps......

In the cottage, the shouts of thieves and their voices ready to defend can be clearly heard.

Fifty steps......

The thief's village is right in front of you!

Suddenly!

There was a rapid banging sound in the cottage!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Moment!

Rolling logs, stones, feather arrows, pouring down!

"Hide!"

Shi Jin wielded the three-pointed knife, desperately pushed away the whistling rolling wood and feather arrows, and rushed into the grass next to him with one arrow step, grabbing the branches of the bushes with his hands to stabilize his body.

"Boom ......"

"Ah......h

Rolling wood and stone. Hitting the mountain rocks, the loud noise was mixed with the tragic cries of the Taiyuan army.

Dozens of soldiers, unable to dodge. Hit by the rolling boulders, it tumbles down the hill until it reaches the gentle stretch in the middle......

Heavy losses!

Qin Qiong watched at the foot of the mountain, and saw that the strong attack was difficult to work, so he hurriedly ordered. Blow the horn of the army.

Although Shi Jin was unwilling, his military orders were like a mountain. had to grit his steel teeth, lead the rest of the soldiers, and slowly retreat.

The thieves on the mountain, seeing that there was a Taiyuan army on the mountainside, did not dare to go out of the village to pursue, only in the cottage, laughed at the retreating Taiyuan army. Foul language, unbearable.

Shi Jinbu retreated to the gentle area of the mountainside, together with Lin Chong. Pick up the wounded soldier and slowly retreat down to the foot of the mountain.

While Qin Qiong organized the treatment of the wounded, he ordered to camp at the critical place at the foot of the mountain.

"Alas!" Shi Jin's steel teeth were rattling, he was unwilling! I can't wait to give birth to wings, fly to the top of the mountain, and stubbornly fight the enemy!

However, Wangwu Mountain, a dangerous place, is difficult to take. can only wait for the arrival of the main force of the Chinese army, and ask the commander to decide.

……

The main force of the Chinese army arrived at the foot of Wangwu Mountain.

Qin Qiong took Lin Chong Shi Jin to meet the young master Liu Mang and the coach Xu Da. As a vanguard officer, the offense is not good. The loss of the soldier is hereby pleaded guilty.

Xu Dadao: "Wangwu Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the first battle is not clear about the enemy's situation, a slight setback, General Qin and Lin Shi two generals. In the clear. Get up. ”

"Young Master Xie, Xie Xu Shuai."

Liu Mang and Xu Da comforted a few people, and Xu Da said: "Let's go, go to the bottom of the mountain and have a look." ”

The group came to the foot of the mountain, Shi Jin Lin Chong, and told in detail about the first attack.

The thieves are well-defended and very cautious, and Wangwushan is indeed a difficult bone to gnaw!

If you can't gnaw it, you have to smash it!

Everyone returned to the Chinese military tent and studied several sets of offensive plans, but it was difficult to avoid a large number of casualties. When he was worried, he had to report that the baggage department led by Xu Shiji had rushed to the bottom of the mountain and asked to meet the lord Liu Mang and the coach Xu Da.

Xu Shiji is quite strategic, and he is familiar with the situation in Hedong, so he may have a way.

Really!

As soon as Xu Shiji arrived, he offered a plan: "Although the mountain of Wangwu Mountain is steep, the mountain is full of soil and lush vegetation. Our army only needs to set fire to the grass and trees halfway up the mountain. If such a steep mountain is erected, the water source on the top of the mountain will not be sufficient. Even if they can't burn down the thieves' cottage, the thieves will be unable to support it, and they will force themselves down the mountain to fight a decisive battle with our army. ”

"No way!" Liu Mang immediately vetoed it, "Shi Qian is detained on the mountain, and setting fire to the mountain will kill him!" ”

"This is a bit troublesome...... "The plan of burning is not feasible, and Xu Shiji is also quite scratching his head.

Qin Qiong said: "My subordinates ask for an order, lead the sword and shield soldiers, and forcibly attack, you can break the enemy village." ”

Xu Shiji said: "General Shubao's method is not very feasible. The top of the mountain is rocky, and it is easy to dig and mine the stone, and the thief's feather arrows may be exhausted, but the stone is inexhaustible. The shield can resist feather arrows, but it is difficult to block stones, and such a strong attack will still inevitably cause casualties. ”

Pei Yuanshao stepped forward and ordered: "Young master, I am willing to lead the team and climb to the top of the mountain from elsewhere!" ”

Pei Yuanshao, born as a thief in Taihang Mountain. Climb the mountain as if you were walking on flat ground.

Liu Mang and Xu Da looked at each other, and Xu Da shook his head.

"Not feasible. Although Yuan Shao is vigorous, there are very few people who climb so well. Even if you don't get noticed by the thieves and climb to the top smoothly, it will not be enough to defeat the thieves, but you will take your life. ”

Xu Da's eyes lit up and said, "You can start at the same time!" Make preparations to set fire to the mountainside in order to disturb the thief's heart. Then send sword and shield soldiers to attack the main gate of the thief's cottage in turn, in order to attract the attention of the thief, and consume the thief's feather arrows and rolling wooden stones. Yuan Shao led a team of soldiers who are good at climbing, looking for the way up the mountain, if they can reach the top, and the main attacking force in the front should be combined, then the thief Kou cottage can be broken. ”

"Yuan Shao, are you sure to climb up?"

"Young master, rest assured! Brother Cheng said, Brother Shi is a good brother, even if I risk my life, I want to save him! ”

No other way.

Xu Shiji offered another method, rubbing more straw ropes, tying them to the shield, thickening the shield, weakening the impact of the gravel, and reducing casualties.

Prepare separately.

Pei Yuanshao Pei Yuanqing led a group to quietly detour to the back of Wangwu Mountain, looking for a way to climb up the mountain.

Qin Qiong, Lin Chong, and Shi Jin organized three teams of sword and shield soldiers, ready to take turns to storm the main gate of the cottage and attract the attention of the thieves.

Xu Shiji, with a section in the middle of the mountainside, made a trend of setting fire to the mountain, in order to disturb the heart of the thief.

Xu Dayan ordered Qin Qionglin to rush to Shi Jin, to attract the attention of the thieves and consume the thieves' stone feather arrows to minimize casualties. Before receiving a signal from Pei Yuanshao's department, it is not allowed to attack forcibly.

Qin Qiong and the others received the order and launched a round attack on the main gate of the cottage......

For two consecutive days of attacking, the thieves on the mountain are still resisting......

"Report!" On the mountainside, the messenger school rushed down and handed over a stone. "According to the order of General Qin, the lord and the commander, although the thieves are still attacking our army with stones, the size of the stones has become significantly smaller."

Xu Da took the stone, shook it, and said with a smile: "It's hard for thieves to chisel and quarry stones. This evening, if Pei Yuanshao can successfully reach the top, the thief village can be broken! ”

Liu Mang was overjoyed.

"Report!"

A school boy came running up. "My lord, the thief chief shoots a letter!"

"Oh?" Liu Mang took the feather arrow and removed the silk wrapped on it.

A black mass fell out of it and slowly floated down...... (To be continued.) )
