Sun Quan, the emperor of Eastern Wu, calmed down somewhat after hearing Zhou Yu's words. He came to Yizhou from the mainland, bringing with him 30,000 soldiers and horses, as well as 500,000 people.

The men of these people were young and strong. Veterans lead new recruits, and soon there are 100,000 armed forces.

And what about Qin Jun? Aside from the sailors on board, the landing operation, up to 40,000 armed forces.

Sun Quan's Yizhou City is in the Datun Mountains, surrounded by a mountain defense line from Datun Mountain to Qixing Mountain. When trebuchets are placed in these mountains, they can cover the ground outside Yizhou City. If the Qin army could not capture these mountains, they would definitely not dare to enter the city of Yizhou. Because in this way, the Qin army would be exposed to the fire of the Eastern Wu trebuchet.

And if the Qin army wants to attack the mountain, the mountain position of gathering a large number of wood and rolling stones will inevitably make the Qin army pay a great price. Under the elimination of the other, there are not many people left in the Qin army. In addition, the logistical supply of the Qin army was also a big problem.

Taken together, as long as the hilltop position is defended, the Qin army has nothing to fear.

Zhou Yu knelt on the ground, his face haggard, but his tone was passionate, "In the mountains, give Yu Qin Zijin a head-on blow." Although most of our army are new recruits, we only need to eliminate 20,000 Qin troops in the defensive battle, and we can fully counterattack! ”

Lu Xun also said: "I saw that the Qin army did not have formed cavalry, they were all foot soldiers!" ”

Sun Quan pondered, 100,000 against 20,000, the enemy had no cavalry, and there were generals like Huang Gai and Zhou Tai on his side, and he fought at home, and the victory was nine out of ten. He finally had a smile, but he immediately cooled down again, and said, "The Grand Duke." You immediately organize a garrison battle, and use the hilltop position to consume the living force of the Qin army. This battle. There is no room for success and no failure. Victory, I celebrate you. If you fail, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Just like the analysis just now, Zhou Yu is also very sure. After all, the Qin army fought overseas alone, just like a kite with a broken string without a foundation. And Soochow occupies the advantage of geography and military strength, "If this battle is lost, there is no need for the emperor to act, and the ministers will apologize!" ”

Lu Xun also assured him in this way, so he said. Sun Quan waved his hand and ordered Zhou Yu to command and dispatch with full authority. However, Sun Quan personally appointed Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lü Meng and Ding Feng. He was also very disappointed in Lu Xun, Zhang Xiu and others. Even if it was Zhou Yu, Sun Quan ordered him not to directly interfere with the specific arrangement of the "Five Generals of Eastern Wu" on the hilltop position.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of people in Yizhou City took action, and the women were responsible for lighting a fire to cook, washing and folding quilts, and serving tea and water. All the men went out and tried their best to build the mountain position, especially the Seven Star Mountain position, which was built like an iron bucket. It is known as "a mountain that will never be conquered".

Because Sun Quan controlled the grain and grass and implemented the rationing system, the coerced people were unwilling to be enemies of the Hongwu Emperor in order to survive. But it can only be to obey orders.

Hundreds of thousands of people, like ants, climbed all over the mountain. When it comes down. The top of the hill became like a gnawed apple, pitted. Barricades, traps, and hilltop fences are all trebuchets. Rolling stone squeals abound.

Such a position, the attacking side in the era of cold weapons. Almost impossible to overcome.

"It's really unconquerable!"

Five days later, in the Datun Mountains, the Qin army was more than ten miles away from Yizhou City, and chose a high ground to settle down in Dazhai. Emperor Hongwu's imperial camp was on the high ground, guarded by soldiers and horses.

At this time, Emperor Hongwu was in the imperial tent, discussing the strategy of advancing with the generals and military advisors.

"Look at the flag, the keeper of Qixing Mountain is Huang Gai ......." Jia Xu said carefully.

There are more than a dozen hilltop positions in Dongwu, which stretch out and defend the Yizhou City behind them on the periphery. Qin Feng only had 40,000 strength, and it was impossible to break them one by one. After reconnaissance, he also knew that the hilltop position of Qixing Mountain covered half of the ground outside Yizhou City. After taking Qixing Mountain, his soldiers and horses will be able to settle down safely outside Yizhou City.

What made Qin Feng difficult was that he didn't expect that the terrain on the outskirts of Yizhou City would be so complicated that his forces would be dwarfed.

Jia Xu couldn't help but say Lao Cheng's idea of seeking the country, "Your Majesty, attacking may not be good for our army, so it is better to retreat and build a fortress." secretly sent elite people to persuade the people entrained by Sun Quan to vote, delay Sun Quan's development, and accumulate enough strength to ....... ”

The strategy Jia Xu said is very stable, but this may be a protracted war for years, or even more than ten years.

When Qin Feng was noncommittal, Pang Tong touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Quan's troops are scattered in fifteen mountain positions, and the main position of Qixing Mountain has roughly 10,000 soldiers and horses. The enemy did not know that our army would attack Qixing Mountain, and our army could attack the east and west, and before the enemy reinforced, perhaps, there was a chance to break through the ...... of Qixing Mountain. ”

Now that you have come, you can't retreat without fighting, you have to try. As a result, Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng made a decision, and he dispatched Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Pang De, and Wei Yan to lead a thousand troops each to feint on other mountains. And Qin Feng will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to attack the position of Qixing Mountain in Eastern Wu.

"Capturing the position of Qixing Mountain is victory!"

"Willing to serve the dead!"

At this point, the entire Qin army rested and recuperated, only waiting for a big battle tomorrow.

At the same time, the position of Qixing Mountain in Soochow.

The main peak of Qixing Mountain is more than 1,000 years above sea level, it is the highest dangerous peak in the mountains of the entire Datun Mountains, and there is Huang Gai, the general of the three dynasties of Eastern Wu, to guard it.

At this time, Huang Gai was inspecting the military situation at the top of the main peak. After the excavation of the main peak of Soochow, a flat land of nearly 1,000 square meters was formed, and dozens of trebuchets were arranged. Don't underestimate that there are only a few dozen of them, and from a height of more than a thousand meters, huge flints are thrown and fall to the ground, forming a power no less than a cannonball. Whoever is stationed outside the city of Yizhou at the foot of the mountain, Huang Gai is confident that within a day, he will smash his camp to pieces.

Huang Gai stood on the peak lookout and looked around, the east peak of Qixing Mountain was only ten meters lower than the main peak, because it was in the east of the main peak, so this peak could not control the boundary outside Yizhou City. But this peak, which is no less than the main peak, can control the passage to the main peak.

And halfway up the east peak, there is another hill 800 meters high.

Huang Gai set up three camps in these three places and laid out three lines of defense.

From the observation deck, you can see the surrounding mountains, and below the west side is a rare plain surrounded by mountains. Sun Quan built the city in it, also considering the mountains as a barrier. Looking to the east, there are Dajian Mountain, Sulfur Mountain, Fengshan Mountain, Zhushan Mountain, etc., and the Tamsui River in the distance is also clearly visible.

These high mountains make up the Datun Mountains, which are now built by Soochow as the frontier outside the city of Yizhou. It is worth mentioning that Datun Mountain was a volcano in ancient times.

Huang Gai stepped down from the lookout, his aged face was full of vicissitudes, and he said to the generals around him: "Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Meng, and Ding Feng are four generals guarding various mountain positions, and our Qixing Mountain is the most important. Be careful and do not slack off ....... The life and death of Soochow are on you. ”

"Please rest assured that the old general ......." Although the generals agreed, their feelings were not too high, which came from leaving their hometowns. Fighting to the death for your hometown is bound to do your best, but what is it here?

Coming day, early in the morning.

The sky was overcast, and clouds and mist surrounded the high mountains in the depths of the Datun Mountains. The green mountains are juggling with strange rocks protruding. The ethereal clouds and smoke shrouded the mountains in a veil of gray. And under the lifeless sky, these mountains of smoke are like lonely ghost mountains.

And when the fierce shouts and killings resounded in the sky, it really became a hell of mountains.

On this day, the Qin army launched a four-way feint to contain the enemies of Dajianshan, Sulfur Mountain, Fengshan, and Zhushan.

Emperor Qin Feng personally led the main army to besiege Qixing Mountain in Eastern Wu. He dispatched Ma Chao to lead 10,000 horses into the mountain from the "small oil pit" on the southeast side of Qixing Mountain, and sent Huang Zhong to enter the mountain from the "cold water pit" on the northeast side. And Qin Feng personally took the middle road, 15,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to the outermost hilly position of Dongwu under the East Peak.

The road into the mountain is narrow and rugged. The soldiers of the Qin army braved arrows, rolling stones, and sassal wood. However, many fell. Blood flew up, as if staining the gray veil that covered the mountain. Blood flowed down the mountain, staining the mountain red.

The main peak of nearly 1,200 meters, the east peak of more than 1,100 meters, and the hilly position of 800 meters are arranged in a staggered manner. The arrows that flew out covered the sky and the sun, and the boulders that flew out seemed to fall from the sky. And the rolling stones and sassholes, like shovels, pass by the place where the vegetation on the mountain suddenly scattered.

The three three-dimensional fronts stubbornly blocked the offensive of the Qin army.

Huang Gai arranged 3,000 soldiers and horses on each of these three lines of defense, and stockpiled a large number of arrows, rolling stones, and sassal wood.

The Eastern Wu soldiers were condescending, indiscriminately densely covered, and countless Qin troops fell on the mountain roads.

On the main peak, Huang Gai's face was expressionless, he believed that his arrangement could block the offensive of the Qin army, and he was a little lucky, because the shouting and killing sound from a distance showed that the Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng was attacking the Datun Mountain defense line of Eastern Wu with all his might.

A general next to him said: "Qin Zijin is already dizzy, he only has 40,000 people, if he concentrates his troops, our army may be in danger." And he attacked everywhere separately, which was really arrogant and self-defeating....... ”

Huang Gai thought so just now, and couldn't help nodding.

"Report ......." At this time, a junior colonel rushed over and said, "General Qiyu, 10,000 Qin troops have been found in the southeast, and they are attacking the ...... of Dongfeng from the side. ”

"What!" Huang Gai was taken aback.

"Report ......." Another small colonel, Wolf Bèi, came and said: "It's a big deal, General, 10,000 Qin troops have been found in the northeast, and they are attacking the East Peak from the side!" ”

Huang Gai glanced at the general who had just spoken, and his face changed suddenly, "The big thing is not good, Zhongqin Zi has a plan to attack the east and west." He feinted to attack the mountains to create a false appearance, but in fact, he was taking the initiative to Qixing Mountain, and quickly sent people to the mountains to seek support!
