Chapter 20: The Attack and Defense of the Three Kingdoms (2nd Update)
"Kill!"
Countless Goguryeo soldiers, wielding their weapons, rushed towards Mount Gaima.
At this time, Zhang Ji, the chief general on Gaima Mountain, looked at the Goguryeo soldiers who rushed into the range of the bow and crossbow and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”
"Whoosh"
With Zhang Ji's order, 10,000 Han army crossbowmen suddenly shot out the arrow clusters in their hands.
Dense clusters of arrows poured down on the Goguryeo army like a downpour.
Although the Goguryeo soldiers were not as well-armored as the Xianbei army, they suffered a lot of losses in the charge in such a dense rain of arrows.
"Just click, click, click."
A loud sound slowly sounded in the Goguryeo camp, and when Zhang Ji saw it, it turned out to be Goguryeo's well.
Looking at the dozens of wells and the Goguryeo soldiers waiting for the bow above, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Ji's mouth.
Immediately, when the well was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Zhang Ji shouted, "Trebuchet, release!" ”
"Woo~Woo~Woo~"
"Click, click."
Suddenly, the sound of a boulder breaking through the sky above Mount Gaima was heard, followed by the sound of the well breaking.
"Ahh
"Help!"
The Goguryeo soldiers on the well were directly hit by the boulder, and they were directly killed, freeing them from all pain.
However, those soldiers who were not directly stoned to death were miserable, and the height of the well was nearly seven or eight meters, so high that these soldiers were very worried.
If you don't jump, you may be stoned to death by the broken well, and if you do, what are the chances of surviving on this battlefield?
You must know that at this time, there are still clusters of arrows flying in the sky above both sides.
Seeing this, the Goguryeo boss shouted angrily in the rear, "It's been seven days, how many times has this been?" Why can't you even attack the mountainside of Mount Gaima? ”
Listening to the words of the Goguryeo commander, all the Goguryeo generals bowed their heads and were silent, in the past seven days, this is already the twentieth charge, but they still have not attacked the halfway point of Gaima Mountain.
These generals all want to attack it, after all, the mountain is Goguryeo's hometown!
However, the Han army was condescending, the crossbowmen could not shoot the Han army, and as soon as the foot soldiers went up the mountain, they were beaten back by a burst of stones, and the well was suppressed by the trebuchets of the Han army.
It can be said that Goguryeo did not have any advantage over the Han army except that it had more troops than the Han army.
How did this make the Goguryeo generals capture Mt. Gaima?
After a fire, the Goguryeo commander also knew that it was no wonder that his subordinate generals were in this matter, so he calmed his anger and said, "How is the battle of the Northern Route Army?" ”
This time, the army before and after Goguryeo was added together, with a total of 200,000, and these 200,000 troops naturally would not all be placed in this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Gaima Mountain.
Among them, 100,000 troops were formed into the Northern Route Army by the commander of Goguryeo and sent to Changqing, the former important town of Goguryeo, now the important town of Hanzhou.
At this time, when the generals heard the Goguryeo commander ask about the battle of Changqing, they bowed their heads and were speechless.
Seeing this, the Goguryeo commander was eager to kill all these wastes, but he also knew that although the danger of Changqing was not as good as that of Gaima Mountain, the Han army stationed 80,000 South Vietnamese troops in Changqing.
In the final analysis, he can only blame himself, after all, his 100,000-strong army attacked for seven days, but he did not capture Gaima Mountain, which was only garrisoned by 30,000 people.
Thinking of this, and seeing that it was almost an inch of the army, in desperation, the Goguryeo commander had no choice but to order, "Withdraw the troops." ”
"Ding Ding Ding"
With the order of the Goguryeo commander, a golden sound resounded over the battlefield.
When the Goguryeo army heard the sound of gold, they immediately retreated to the camp like a tide.
Zhang Ji of Gaima Mountain smiled slightly when he saw this, and then said to Sun Jian on the side, "Wentai, I will hold it for a while." ”
Sun Jian smiled silently when he heard this, the two went to Fuyu Kingdom to participate in the war together, and then Sun Jian was appointed as the lieutenant of Gai County, but Zhang Ji became the guard of Gai Ma Mountain.
In this way, the relationship between the two is a lot closer, and as soon as Zhang Ji spoke at this time, Sun Jian knew the meaning.
Goguryeo divided the troops into two routes, but it gave the Han army a chance to break through, and at this time, Gaima Mountain held more than one day, which was to win one more fighter for the Changqing Han army.
Although he insisted on it for another day, he should have been very happy, but Sun Jian couldn't be happy.
Although the Han army relies on natural dangers, where are there immortals in the war? Goguryeo attacked fiercely, and the Han army on Mount Gaima also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
If this continues, within five days, Mount Gaima will fall.
In this case, how could Sun Jian be happy?
You must know that once the Gaima Mountain falls, then the entire Gaijun will no longer have any dangerous place to defend, and it can be said that half of the efforts of the Han Dynasty before will be in vain, which is not a small pressure.
Looking at the bloody sunset, Sun Jian said in a deep voice, "General, please attack the enemy camp at night!" ”
Zhang Ji was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Wentai must not be reckless, although the Goguryeo army has suffered heavy losses in the past few days, but it still has more than 60,000 troops!" And we only have 20,000 warriors, how can we attack them at night? ”
Sun Jian knew that what Zhang Ji said was reasonable, but if he didn't attack at night, he would buy time for the army. Once the Changqing Han army did not appear in time when Gaima Mountain fell after the fifth day, then the entire Gaijun would be finished.
At this time, once the night attack is successful, it can win more for the Han army, and it may be able to determine the outcome of the war.
Immediately, Sun Jian actually bowed to the ground, and said in a heavy tone: "Insist on fighting!" ”
Zhang Ji knew Sun Jian's thoughts, but the maximum number of people who went to the night attack was 3,000 soldiers and horses, and if there were more, there would be a hole in the defense on Gaima Mountain.
With 3,000 against 70,000, where is the slightest chance of winning!
Zhang Ji sincerely recognized Sun Jian's brother, so naturally he would not let him go to death, but Sun Jian's approach was not wrong.
In the end, Zhang Ji confirmed again: "Wentai really wants to go to attack the camp? ”
"Exactly." Sun Jian replied categorically.
Zhang Ji listened to these powerful words, and knew that it was difficult to change Sun Jian's mind, and this matter was really useful for the war, so Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Okay, it is worthy of being my Han soldier." Then he restrained the smile on his face and asked, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Wentai needs?" ”
"A thousand!"
"A thousand cavalry!"
Sun Jian replied without hesitation.
Zhang Ji looked at Sun Jian in shock, and hurriedly said, "Wentai, one thousand is too little, I still have five thousand cavalry in Gaima Mountain in this matter, give you three thousand!" ”
"No, the geographical location of Mount Gaima is special, that is, once there is a cavalry on the mountain, it can block the east-west artery, if the general hands over most of the cavalry to the last general, the last general will fail again."
"In that case, without the deterrence of most of the cavalry, Gaima Mountain is just a place of death, so the last general only needs a thousand cavalry, which is enough!"
After listening to Sun Jian's words, Zhang Ji patted Sun Jian's shoulder and said, "Okay, what momentum!" In this case, Wentai can choose a large army at will on this Gaima Mountain, and all those who Wentai likes will be controlled by Wentai. ”
"General Xie, the last general will definitely live up to the general's high expectations."

It's eleven tomorrow, don't do it here, I wish you all a happy eleventh and have fun.
