One-two-two, the second wave of the offensive
It took a short time for the officers and men to reorganize their ranks, re-boost their morale, and prepare for the second wave of attack!
They didn't dare to delay for a long time, because the reason Yang Hong encouraged them was that the Liukou had run out of stones, and if they didn't dare to attack a second time, they were worried that the Liukou would go to the top of the mountain and move new stones.
So on the way up the mountain, the figures of officers and soldiers began to appear again, four or five officers and soldiers in a row, with strong iron shields, began to go up, and the officers and soldiers behind were all carefully holding their shields, and they began to pray: Liukou, you must run out of stones, and do not have reserves!
Poor officers and soldiers, once again disappointed!
If the top of the mountain is just an ordinary rogue, maybe there are really no stones, but this rogue is not ordinary, they are led by a rebel with extremely experienced experience, once plotted to seize the world of the emperor led, like what kind of low-level mistake of insufficient garrison materials, it is impossible to make it at all, just yesterday evening, Zhu Yuanzhang dragged his tired body, personally checked the rolling wood and stone reserves of each garrison point, to ensure that the materials are sufficient, not to mention wave or two, even if the officers and soldiers attack the mountain for half a month, they will suffer exactly the same stone rain.
Moreover, this time the officers and soldiers went up the mountain, which was more difficult than the first time, not only did there be more than a dozen corpses on the mountain road, but also many stones left over from the previous wave, especially the huge stone that Wang Er smashed down, propped up in the middle of the mountain road to occupy a person's road, squeezing the already narrow mountain road even narrower.
There are still some gravel on the ground, it is easy to trip people, if you don't look at the ground when walking, it is very dangerous, but the stones may fly overhead at any time, who dares to look down at the ground? After a short walk, the officers and men fell down several people, and one of them even broke his head, and his face was covered in blood without being smashed.
Yang Hong scolded loudly: "Waste, a group of waste, put your center of gravity low and go, you won't fall." ”
It is indeed not easy to fall when the center of gravity is lowered, but the speed of walking is even slower, and the officers and men are like snails, slowly advancing upward on the mountain road.
Seeing that there were a lot of people walking up the mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand expressionlessly, and then ordered: "Smash!" ”
"Smash again!"
"Hahaha, officers and soldiers, come and eat grandpa's flying stone ...... again"
On the slopes of the mountains, on the edge of the cliffs, stones rolled down everywhere, and the narrow mountain road seemed to rain stones again, and the iron shields raised by the officers and soldiers made a dense muffled sound of "bumper bumper bumper."
Although the reserve of stones on the mountain exceeded the expectations of the officers and soldiers, this time the casualties of the officers and soldiers were relatively light, because they held their shields extremely well, like turtles, and if the stones were not big enough and heavy enough, they could not break the iron shields in their hands. Wang Er scolded angrily: "Small stones are not good, look at me to give them a big one!" ”
He rummaged through the pile of rocks for a long time, and the big stone was really gone...... It turned out that when the soldiers were stockpiling stones, Wang Er was playing traps and cold arrow games with officers and soldiers in the mountains, and did not participate in the reserve of war materials, so there were no boulders specially prepared for him.
"Falling rocks can't work, change the rolling wood!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed the order.
Rolling wood, that is, the main trunk with the branches cut off, is long and thick, the biggest difference between it and falling rocks is that the stones fall on the mountain road, at most a few rolls and stop, especially the heavy stones, it can't roll far, like the kind of round stones that can be rolled far on a very flat slope in the TV series, cough...... That's a prop made of foam! How could the ancients be in the mood to cut every stone used to smash people into that kind of round? If you don't believe it, you try to round a stone with a diameter of several meters, and you will be tired with modern stone sharpening tools.
Therefore, the stone is generally dozens of catties a piece, and the matter is smashed down with both hands.
But the rolling log is different, it doesn't require much carving, it is naturally cylindrical, and no matter how heavy it is, it can be rolled from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. Therefore, the rolling wood often weighs thousands of catties, and it is difficult for a person's strength to roll, so it depends on the joint efforts of several soldiers to push the rolling wood to the side of the mountain.
More than a dozen soldiers pushed a rolling log together, this rolling log may be cut down from a five or six hundred years old tree, at least two thousand pounds, the soldiers pushed very hard, and finally pushed to the edge of the cliff, several soldiers were so tired that they panted, they laughed together: "The officers and soldiers under the mountain, eat grandpa's trick!" ”
After saying that, the men kicked out at the same time, kicked hard, and the heavy rolling log fell onto the mountain path and began to roll downward. Two thousand catties is two tons, and a big truck in the future will only carry a few tons at best, and you can imagine such a heavy thing rolling down from a high place, and then carrying the kinetic energy increased by high-speed rolling......
When the officers and men saw this thing, they were really frightened, and several officers and men screamed in shock, and the officers and men who had just walked up the mountain road immediately screamed strangely and rushed down the mountain. However, the mantis arm could not be used as a car, and as soon as the rolling log arrived, these officers and soldiers were immediately smashed into the air, and then encircled in the rolling wood and rolled into pulp.
Moreover, there was more than one piece of this terrible rolling log, and two or three more rolling logs were rolled down the mountain one after another, and the rumbling sound not only brought the lives of the officers and men, but more seriously, destroyed their morale.
The second wave of the offensive of the officers and soldiers suddenly failed, and after leaving behind dozens of corpses, all the officers and soldiers withdrew to the foot of the mountain again.
"General...... What kind of rogue is this? The stones seemed to be inexhaustible, and there were several pieces of rolling wood as soon as they were pushed out......"
Yang Hong's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth at the top of the mountain and said, "Baishui Zhuba, count you ruthless!" ”
Different from the frustration of the officers and soldiers, the soldiers and civilians on the top of the mountain all cheered, and the happy laughter was connected, echoing unscrupulously on the top of the mountain: "Hahaha, look at the bear-like officers and soldiers!" ”
"I can't get up at all!"
"I thought how powerful the officers and soldiers were, but they turned out to be bad seeds!"
It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, and the officers and soldiers were still mocking the people on the mountain, but now they have turned around and become the people on the top of the mountain mocking the officers and soldiers under the mountain.
Wang Er's heart began to be restless again, and he said loudly to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother Zhu, please allow me to go down the mountain and rush to kill once, now that the morale of the officers and soldiers is completely gone, I will definitely be able to win!" ”
"Well, that's right, now the impact on the officers and soldiers should have a chance of victory." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "But...... You can't go down, the mountain road is now blocked by rocks and rolling logs, I let you go, and you can't go. ”
Wang Er: "......"
"Don't worry!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled: "Since ancient times, there is a cloud in the art of war, to defend the city, you must first pull out the village, and the defense cannot be blindly defended. ”
He suddenly said in a loud voice: "Wang Er, I will hand over the two hundred soldiers of the old first team and the second team to you, and you will spend a few days hanging down the mountain with ropes from the cliff of the back mountain, and then make a big circle, and after three days, I want you to appear in the rear of the enemy army, and take my drum as an order to cover up from behind." ”
The so-called old first team and second team are actually the 200 elites trained by Zhu Yuanzhang in Fenglei Village, and the 35 henchmen of Ma Xiaotian have already become a supervising team and are no longer counted in the military ranks. Later, the recruits were called the third team, the fourth team, and all the way up to the eighth team.
Among the eight teams under Zhu Yuanzhang, the strongest combat power is the old first team and the second team, not only the longest training time, but also the weapons are relatively good, and also participated in the battle against the township brave army, which is considered to have combat experience, and now he handed over these two teams to Wang Er, that is really planning to fight a beautiful battle with the officers and soldiers.
Wang Er was overjoyed!
"Remember, don't come out without hearing my drums! We must hide well so that we cannot be discovered by the officers and soldiers, even if we hide in a distant place, and we can come later after hearing my drums. Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "If there is a violation, you will really be beheaded." ”
"Haha, no problem! I'll do it well! Wang Er was overjoyed, but although he didn't understand, he liked to ask, so he couldn't help asking, "Why three days later?" It should only take me a little more than a day to get behind the enemy, and I am familiar with the ravines around here. ”
"It must be three days!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "It will take more than a day for you to go around, and it will take a day to rest well, and there is still half a day to gather momentum, and ...... In these three days, I still have to deal with Yang Hong's next tricks. ”
"What else can Yang Hong do?" Wang Er couldn't help but wonder.
"If he can't attack after a day or two, whether he has achieved results or not, he will have to use the strategy of attacking the heart." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Dividing and provoking our cottage, taking advantage of unstable emotions, Xu Yi's high-ranking officials want my head, and the officers and soldiers will use these tricks to suppress bandits." ”
"Although he did not shake the morale of the army in our cottage like he did when he defeated Zheng Yanfu, he ...... As long as you promise to be a high-ranking official, there will always be some people who are tempted. Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was extremely calm, as if he was saying something very natural: "I want to see which people have an unstable position and want to take my head to get the official position, just take this opportunity to purge the surrender faction in the cottage!" ”
Wang Er nodded suddenly in realization: "I understand, we have to find out people like Zhao Yu on the cave cliff and kill them first, lest one day he secretly harm us." But...... Brother Zhu, I'm out with troops, can you handle it alone? In case there are more surrender factions and your surname is harmed......"
"What you want is for you to bring the troops outside, if you don't bring the most intimate soldiers out, the surrender faction will not dare to show their tails!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Don't worry, the clown can't hurt half of my hair!" ”
