Chapter 579: Flooding the Seventh Army
"Although the time limit of this mission is a bit excessive, there are some settings that are beneficial to the player."
Jiang Zhuo had already thought of a way to complete the task, and he quietly infiltrated Ao Mountain with the remaining more than a hundred personal soldiers.
He then gave some of the player's concealment skills to his soldiers, and asked them to construct a cloak of twigs and leaves with large leaves of rattan. Wearing such a coat, if you move in the mountains and forests, you will not be conspicuous.
The Taohuayu of Sanhuang Mountain is one of the ravines of Ao Mountain, with an altitude of 100 meters above sea level, and cliffs on three sides. There is only one narrow passage that is only a dozen meters wide for access.
The passage is not only sloping, but there are also three barriers set up on the passage, which is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is a frontal attack, even if Jiang Zhuo can fly, he can send his own soldiers to the rear of the barrier for a two-sided attack, it will take a lot of time.
Therefore, the premise of completing the task is to lure out the defenders in Aocang and annihilate them in the shortest possible time. At the same time, you have to guard against the defenders of Xingyang City.
"Childe, you're ready."
"Excellent! Act now! Jiang Zhuo nodded, and led his own soldiers and pushed a simple catapult to Taohuayu.
This catapult is very rudimentary, just a few trees are chopped down casually, and then tied to joints with rattan, and it has basically no attack power.
The people above listened, immediately surrendered, and offered food. Otherwise, under the fire attack, you will all be burned to death! One of the soldiers rode forward arrogantly, shouting and scolding in front of the first barrier in the passage.
After the first barrier, there are only fifty soldiers on daily duty, led by only a small boss boss.
"Team rate, what to do, the enemy seems to have a lot of people." Behind the civil ramparts, several soldiers watched through the observation holes to observe the incoming enemy. There seemed to be only a hundred people on the passage, but looking farther away, in an unobstructed place by the cliff, they seemed to see a corner of a large camp, and hundreds of flags fluttering in the wind.
In fact, it was just some wooden fences made by Jiang Zhuo with his own soldiers within twenty minutes, and a camp wall more than thirty meters long and at right angles was piled up. It's also a showcase, but from a distance, it's just a bit bluffing.
"Don't surrender quickly! Our son only took the first step to win the credit for food, and if the army arrived, you would definitely be wiped out! The pro-soldier was still yelling, but the son behind him seemed to be impatient, "Hmph... Toast without eating and drinking, send them a few shots first! ”
Squeak, squeak... A large rattan ball one man tall, stuffed with dead branches and weeds, was carried onto the rocker arm of the catapult.
Jiang Zhuo quietly hid behind the rattan ball, and nodded to the pro-soldier next to the catapult, and the pro-soldier immediately lit a fire on the rattan ball.
The rattan ball was smeared with a lot of resin to support combustion, and the flames quickly filled half of the rattan ball.
"Power can carry the tripod!" Jiang Zhuo secretly snorted and activated his passive skill, and his strength suddenly increased greatly.
Bang! The catapult was "shot", but it was actually Jiang Zhuo's punch. This rattan ball looked not small, but it weighed less than ten catties, and it was blasted out one hundred and fifty steps away by Jiang Zhuo's punch and fell into the civil barrier.
"Ahh Fire! Hurry up and extinguish! ”
The defenders inside the civil barrier screamed in horror, because their barrier needed to open a ten-meter-wide gate in the middle, so that the grain trucks could pass through quickly when they were usually in and out of the grain transport.
Because there is too much space in the middle, you can't use too heavy material when building a barrier. Materials such as bluestone are too heavy, and if there is no support in the middle, it is easy to break.
So this barrier was built with a mixture of civil materials and was afraid of fire.
Taking advantage of the panic inside the barrier, Jiang Zhuo outside quickly shot 6 fire vine balls.
"Attack!" Jiang Zhuo waved his hand, and the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time quickly stepped forward with shields in hand, and the scattered arrows in the barrier failed to pose a threat to them. Approaching the barrier, the soldiers removed a large bundle of rattan from their backs.
A wooden stick is tied to the end of the rattan, and when the soldiers throw the stick into the civil barrier and pull the rattan to make it tight, the stick can easily get stuck in certain positions and stabilize.
After several rounds of throwing, the soldiers managed to throw all 50 rattan ropes into the four-meter-high civil barrier. Then the pro-soldiers began to storm the barrier, and Jiang Zhuo quickly rushed forward as well.
Bang! The small boss boss stationed in the garrison was kicked off the wall by Jiang Zhuo and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Go back and tell the leader of the defenders that the army of King Qin led by King Wu has captured Chang'an. Wu Wang Rende, who did not want to kill the evil again, did not want the blood and sweat of a large number of people in Aocang to be burned. You tell the commander of the defenders to lead the army to surrender immediately, otherwise the three tribes will be wiped out! ”
Jiang Zhuo's face was full of coldness, and he did not order the pursuit, allowing the defenders of the first barrier to withdraw.
After they left, Jiang Zhuo ordered his own soldiers to expand the fire and completely burn the first barrier.
"Childe, will the defenders really fight?" The confidant asked excitedly, and the ability that Jiang Zhuo had shown before made them all feel very happy. Although they were arranged by King Wu to serve as personal guards by Jiang Zhuo's side, who would not want to follow a more virtuous lord?
"Our catapults are too fast, and they can throw rattan balls into enemy ramparts beyond the range of the defenders' arrows. The granary is most afraid of fire, and in order to protect the grain, they must not sit still.
Then they will either surrender or send scouts to reconnoiter our forces. By this time, our follow-up army should have arrived. There are less than 4,000 people, and they have traveled long distances, and they are being built 'unsuspectedly'.
The defenders here are not much weaker than ours, and they should be able to defend instead of attack. ”
This is Jiang Zhuo's design, using various means to force the defenders to give up their dead defense and lure them out to fight.
The defenders only had 3,000 people, and in order to defeat the 4,000 people on Jiang Zhuo's side, they had to mobilize at least 2,500 people, plus the surprise attack, so they had a chance of winning. Kill more than 2,000 people, and the rest will be simple.
"Let's withdraw first, and prepare for the rest of the battle."
When Jiang Zhuo sent someone to contact the commander of the army in the rear, he told the commander of his own calculations, and now they should have been prepared.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhuo took more than 100 personal soldiers out of the Three Emperor Mountain, and found his personal commander and 4,000 troops at the location where he originally set up the wooden fence.
"Childe, do you really want to do this?" The commander of the pro-soldiers was a little hesitant, and Jiang Zhuo also knew what he was hesitating, but he was very cold, "Now is not the flood season, digging the Yellow River embankment, the flood scope will not be too large."
And Jishui is right next to it, so you don't have to worry too much about taking away part of the torrent. If we can't take Aocang, our Qinwang army will be completely out of food, and thus lead to failure, under the Zhulian, do you know how many heads will fall to the ground? ”
