Chapter 22: Zhanding Mountain
Ding Mountain, the mountains are horizontal, the peaks are ups and downs, like a sword like a halberd, straight to the blue sky, and the undulating mountains are intertwined. Such a treacherous terrain is just a pass that is not so dangerous in Banshu. War drums rumbled, trumpets whined, and a great battle began.
It is impossible to win by ingenuity in this kind of place, unless there is a strategy inside, and the inside should be combined with the outside, otherwise only with real strength to gnaw down this hard bone. And to train into an iron army, this is a necessary process. Without going through bloody tempering, how can it be possible to achieve an iron-willed warrior.
Ye Xiaotian also knew that the loss of being a pioneer would be heavy, but he knew better that this was a step he had to take to rise, even if these 18,000 people finally became 1,800 people, these 1,800 surviving veterans would establish their own tactical style and fighting will for his army, and achieve his military soul.
Even if the remaining 1,800 men only trained ten soldiers each, they could bring him an invincible force of 18,000 men! But if he doesn't experience a bloody battle, his army will always be difficult to achieve, how to compete with the princes of Qiandi for hegemony? You must know that the three heavenly kings of An Song Yang have never shown their real fangs to him before.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The deafening sound of artillery echoed through the mountains. Although this tiger squat cannon is not enough to blast open the pass with the mountain wall as the wall, it can form a large area of damage to the defenders on the pass, and it can smash the heavy gate of the pass.
With the sound of cannons, a terrible horn sounded on the city, and the defenders hurried around the city, and began to rush to their respective battle positions and launch a counterattack.
The number of defenders at the pass is actually not very large, because no amount of them can be manipulated. The city is still so narrow, and it is conceivable that the road is dangerous and narrow. The cave house goose cart, chariot, and stone thrower could not be deployed at full strength, but the ladder and flying grab were more convenient, and the attack was naturally not sharp enough.
The soldiers advancing in the front line formed a tall and moving shield wall with a huge iron leaf shield body, and the arrows and arrows hit on it could barely hurt the soldiers behind the shield, followed by goose carts covered with wet cowhides. The arrows and rocks pouring down against the gate gradually approached.
Ye Xiaotian sat in the Chinese army, watching the battlefield, seemingly calm, but his palms were already sweating, such a large-scale battle was also the first time for him, and in his psychology, he also had to experience a baptism like a recruit.
Although Tian Nufeng is ambitious, this kind of battle scene is not the first time for her. Such a scene made her look disgraced. But somehow, there is a feeling of blood in her heart, and she can't help but fantasize about what kind of scene it would be if she wore armor and commanded.
Her veins seem to be born with restless blood. Very belligerent, maybe she should be reincarnated as a man. This is more in line with her character.
Artillery, crossbow arrows, stone throwers, goose carts, and ladders took turns, long-range weapons were responsible for suppressing the firepower of the city, and siege equipment was responsible for advancing the attack.
Ye Xiaotian's heart was like frying oil, but he still gritted his teeth and endured. Ci is not in charge of the army, which is also a test that he must go through to become a general. If he gives up at this time, his previous achievements will be wasted, and his plan to compete with An Song will be completely shattered.
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither...... this is just a small Dingshan Pass......"
Ye Xiaotian sighed. Tian Nufeng glanced at him sneeringly and said, "What, are you afraid?" ”
Ye Xiaotian glanced at her and said, "I can't bear it, I can't bear to see so many people die because of Yang Yinglong's selfish desires, I can't bear it in my heart, don't you feel anything?" ”
Tian Nufeng looked at the tragic battlefield of the battle in front of the Guan, her eyes were as cold as ice: "Why should I feel unbearable? There are people who are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and some people are human beings, and one of his thoughts and thoughts can drive thousands of people to go forward and succeed in order to realize their wishes. Those who rushed to the front abandoned their lives, and the people who drove them didn't take everything with themselves? Now that a decision has been made, what good is it for mother-in-law and mother-in-law to hesitate? ”
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "I forgot, even if you didn't marry Yang Yinglong, you were also the eldest lady in the Bai Nitian family, how could you care about Xiaomin's life and death." ”
Tian Nufeng said sarcastically: "I also forgot, you are just a small citizen in the market and a lowly servant in the prison." Even if you are now a toast, you are still a small person in your bones. If you want to become a real human being, maybe your son can, but you don't have to count on it. ”
Ye Xiaotian said slowly: "I'd rather ...... My son, like me, can treat those Shengdou people as human beings, not as natural human beings like you. ”
Tongtian Henfeng spoke for a while, Ye Xiaotian's mood eased a lot, he exhaled a breath, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the tent to play a game of chess." ”
Tian Nufeng was a little surprised: "You don't want to supervise the battle yourself?" ”
"No need! Ding Shan, I will definitely be able to take it down! ”
Ye Xiaotian said resolutely in a resolute tone, and walked towards the big tent, Tian Henfeng hesitated, but turned back to follow.
……
"What about the cannon? Why did the cannon stop? ”
Hua Yun hurried to the place where the Eight Tiger Squatting Cannon was placed and asked loudly. Ding Yue limped over and said, "The cannon chamber is too hot, you have to cool it down, otherwise I'm afraid it will explode!" ”
Hua Yunfei looked back anxiously, without the suppression of artillery fire, the defenders at the head of the city became arrogant again, rolling logs and stones and smashing them down without money. Hua Yunfei said: "Cool down as soon as possible, the soldiers need artillery support!" ”
Ding Yue pulled him and whispered: "Yunfei, this cannon was given to us by General Liu Bing, and it was sent!" ”
Hua Yunfei said blankly: "What do you mean?" ”
Ding Yue said: "Although these cannons are powerful, they have been used many times, and if there are too many times, they will be useless. Either the range will be reduced, or the deviation of the drop will increase, or the bore will be blown up. We don't have artillery in our army yet, so we have to save some of it! This is the first battle......"
Hua Yunfei then understood, and said loudly: "No need, in the eyes of our adults, people are more valuable than cannons!" ”
"But ......"
Hua Yunfei said: "It's not necessary, just do it." This cannon ......"
Hua Yunfei glanced at the tiger squatting cannon and said, "As long as there are people, everything is there!" If you want a cannon in the future, we adults will pay for it, how much you want, hurry up and fire the cannon! ”
Ding Yue didn't know that Ye Xiaotian had two gold mines and one silver mine in Dawan Mountain, and listening to his huge tone, he couldn't help but be a little speechless. However, Hua Yunfei easily didn't say anything serious to him, and at this time, his tone was resolute, and Ding Yue didn't dare to ignore it.
Ding Yue told the artillery to use a cooling method that damaged the life of the cannon, and after a while, the roar of the cannon started again, and the ammunition could be poured vigorously on the gate, and the gunpowder smoke at the head of the city suddenly rose, and the defenders hugged their heads and scurried, looking for cover to dodge, and the morale of the army under the city was greatly boosted, and there was a deafening shout and charge again......
