Chapter Seventy-Eight: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the light and dark sentry halfway up the mountain found the flag at the foot of the mountain, and was so frightened that he hurriedly reported the situation back to the east fence.
The fluttering flags, colorful, are engraved with the totems of the major tribes in Yanzhou.
"Hundreds of thousands of garrisons? Didn't Commander Qin Lan say that the rebels were less than 20,000 people?
Seeing the condition at the foot of the mountain, Dongli's legs trembled, he had never seen such a big battle.
"Don't panic, stay where you are first, and wait for the rescue, at least we have fifteen days of food to stockpile. Dong Liang was silent for a moment, and beckoned: "Send a team of soldiers to go down the mountain to find out the truth, I don't believe that the Yanzhou Grassland can draw 100,000 troops." ”
Several soldiers pretended to be Orions in accordance with the orders of the East Fence, and wanted to go down the mountain to explore the details of the Yanzhou New Army.
But before he was halfway up the mountain, he was shot by random arrows.
"It's really stupid, the ice and snow of Cockscomb Peak haven't completely melted, there is no prey, where is the Orion?"
Jiang Feng waved his arm and beckoned to Long Yun: "Sister Long Yun, let the Long Qiang arrow array press forward and destroy the fortifications halfway up the mountain, you must give Dongli a sense of crisis." ”
"My lord, I'll do it. Long Yun replied.
If you want the arrows to exert the maximum lethality, you have to build a large arrow array, the advantage is that you can arrange the arrow rain, and the disadvantage is that it is rigid and difficult to move, it is easy to be attacked by the iron horse, and it needs to be protected, so the Jiuli Shield Array and the Longqiang Arrow Array have always been coordinated operations.
The shield cover advances, allowing the Dragon Qiang Arrow Array to safely attack the fortifications halfway up the mountain.
"Draw the bow, prepare, shoot!"
The rain of arrows in the sky ended, covering a wide area, and those wooden fortifications could not resist the attack of wind and arrows at all, and they were as fragile as a piece of thin paper.
The Black Feather Army halfway up the mountain had nowhere to hide, and died one after another under the chaotic arrows, and the three-diamond-shaped wound could not stop the bleeding, even a small wound could be fatal.
"Send dozens of cavalry to break through and quickly ask Commander Qin Lan for help. ”
This battle frightened Dong Li's legs trembling, and it was obviously unrealistic, as long as he took a step forward, he would be shot by wind arrows.
On the main peak, there is no shelter, no matter where you stand, you will become a live target for arrows.
"Report! ”
The forward sentinels hurriedly came to report.
"Don't stop, leave a gap, let them break through. Jiang Feng did not stop him, but let the sentry cavalry ask for help from Yongguan.
In the next few hours, the Jiuli Shield Formation slowly advanced, and after pressing the fortifications halfway up the mountainside, fearing that the Dongli Dog would jump over the wall and fight against the water, he ordered to stop advancing and stick to the same place.
At this distance, the wind arrows have been able to cover the main camp at the peak.
"Newspaper, found the main force of the Black Feather Army forty miles away, a piece of black pressing, stretching for several miles, with no end in sight, conservatively estimated to be more than 50,000 people, and the Chinese army hung the battle flag of the word 'Qin'. ”
Sentinels run between the two places.
"It seems that Dongli's status in the Snow Moon Country is not low, how can he let Commander Qin Lan take such a risk? ”
Jiang Feng took out the map and looked at it carefully, "Order, let Chu He wait first, wait for Qin Lan's main force to hit the mine array and the explosion sounds, and then attack Yongguan, at that time, Qin Lan will not be able to defend back." ”
"Xiang Yu, you personally lead two thousand dragon Qiang iron cavalry, attack Qin Lan's main force along the way, don't let him have a chance to return to Yongguan. ”
After the explosion of the mine array sounded, Jiang Feng straightened up and said lightly: "Immediately capture the main peak of the cockscomb, and end the battle in half an hour." ”
The howitzer battalion at the foot of the hill finished reloading and shelled the main peak of the cockscomb, and the violent explosion leveled the summit.
After only one round of artillery bombardment, the Black Feather Army at the peak suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army were even more chaotic.
The dragon and qiang wind arrows above his head struck like a torrential rain, sweeping in turns, and the corpses of the Black Feather Army were everywhere.
Even refined bronze armor could not withstand the penetration of wind arrows.
"The shield soldiers of the Jiuli clan, harvest the battlefield with me. ”
After the Longqiang clan shot the feather arrows into the air, a large number of Jiuli shield soldiers followed Jiang Feng to the peak.
At this time, in addition to the piles of corpses, there were only hundreds of remnants left.
"Who is the main general? Jiang Feng held the Qinghong Sword in his hand, and the sharp blade flashed through everyone's eyes, but they were silent and didn't dare to speak nonsense.
"Look at its armor, they are all ordinary soldiers, don't waste time here, withdraw to Bauhinia Pass as soon as possible. Long Yun added.
"No hurry!"
Jiang Feng shook his head, swept towards everyone, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "There is limited food in Bauhinia Pass, and only a hundred of you can survive, and now all of you are running around the camp, I will spare you from dying for the first hundred strong people, and the rest will be killed on the spot." ”
When the remnants of the defeated soldiers heard this, they ignored the pain and began to run wildly along the camp.
"Lord Jiang Feng, what are you doing here?" Long Yun frowned, expressing puzzlement.
Since the last rebellion, Long Yun's attitude towards Jiang Feng has become more and more respectful, and he used to call him by his first name, but now the word "lord" is added at the end to distinguish the monarch and the minister.
Jiang Feng saw this situation in his eyes, and did not stop her, but called her 'Sister Long Yun'.
"Drag out the first thing that fell into battle, I said what kind of running are you, it's just rolling and climbing, not to mention how embarrassing it is. ”
Jiang Feng put the Qinghong Sword on his shoulder, and said with a gloomy face: "The Qinghong Sword, the sword of Commander Hai Yunfan, sharpens iron like clay, you should have heard of it." ”
"Heroes spare their lives, don't ...... Don't kill me......"
"Oh, it's okay if I don't kill you, you have to give me a reason, if you are the main general, you can still bargain with me, you are a small pawn, you should die obediently. Jiang Feng's palm trembled slightly, and the blade of the sword cut a bloody mark on the soldier's neck.
"I am the commander of the Black Feather Army, Dongli, and I am also the nephew of Nangong Zaicheng, you leave me alive, and I can exchange food, baggage and weapons with Fengdu in the future. "Tohley was out of breath from exhaustion.
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be a big fish. Long Yun looked at Jiang Feng with a little appreciation, just by running a few laps, he could find out the enemy's main general.
"Nangong Dongli is Liuxia's cousin. ”
Jiang Feng sighed and ordered to the left and right: "Take it down, so that you can serve it." ”
"Report, Lord, Qin Lan's main force has broken through the mine array and is coming towards us. ”
"Huh, this is the rhythm of trying to break the pot and sink the boat!"
When the mine exploded, Chu He began to storm Yongguan, and Qin Lan must have known the news.
Knowing that there was not enough time to return to the reinforcements, Commander Qin Lan simply went straight to Jiguan Peak, wanting to attack with Nangong Dongli inside and outside, annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop, and after taking the Bauhinia Pass, he would unite with Fengdu to recover Yongguan.
But what he didn't know was that the 30,000 elites of Dongli were wiped out in front of the Yanzhou New Army in less than half an hour.
