Chapter 90: Stubborn Defense
"They can't be cured, you should know what to do!"
Wang Yao didn't seem to want to mention that matter, but after a few brief words to the general, he went to explore all parts of Huaiyun Cliff, leaving the somewhat stunned general standing motionless.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the early morning, a pot of steaming meat soup was carried by a famous cook to the front-line soldiers in charge of defense.
"It's so delicious!
"It's really meat!"
"Where's the meat?"
A hungry soldier saw the mouthful of meat soup carried up by the cooks, and his saliva flowed, just like a hungry wolf.
"Everyone, I heard that these meat soups were specially made by the general in the cooking room for you as a reward, and now you can start enjoying this hard-won food!"
A general in charge of distributing the meat soup shouted loudly, and then ordered a famous cook to start serving bowls of hot meat soup to the scrawny soldiers.
"What kind of meat is this, why is it so fragrant, bring me a bowl!"
"I'm going to add a bowl too, this meat soup is so fragrant!"
ยทยทยทยทยท
A soldier drank this meat soup only to feel that it was a delicacy that he had never eaten in his life, and one by one he drank bowls of meat soup greedily, and then one by one he continued to add them to the pot of meat soup like a wolf.
The cook, though also very hungry, did not drink the soup with them.
Not only that, these cooking soldiers were looking at a soldier who was like a wolf and greedily drinking bowl after bowl of meat soup, and they also had a strong sense of disgust, after all, they were involved in the process of making the meat, and they knew very well what kind of meat was cooked in this meat soup.
"If you dare to tell this story, you know the end!"
Looking at the appearance of a famous cooking soldier, the general in charge of distributing the meat soup this time immediately shouted coldly.
It's just that his voice is very small, and only a few cooks in front of him can hear it.
After hearing the general's low drink, the group of cooking soldiers immediately felt their whole bodies for a while, and then forcibly restored themselves to their normal appearance.
Of course, the wolf-like soldiers did not notice the reaction of these cooks and the strangeness of the generals, because at this moment in the eyes of these people was only the broth in the pot.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Breakfast time passed quickly, and the soldiers had eaten for a long time, making them full of strength and courage when resisting the attack of the Jin army.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The sound of rushing and killing continued to come from under the Huaiyun Cliff, and a famous golden soldier continued to charge as if he was not afraid of death.
"Throw stones, roll logs, and shoot arrows!"
On the Huaiyun Cliff, the defending soldiers were also under the command of the general, blocking the attack of a famous golden soldier in an orderly manner.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
Buzz!
An hour later, the horn of the retreating Jin army sounded, and a group of Jin soldiers began to evacuate, and Huaiyun Cliff regained its tranquility again.
If it weren't for the corpses and the blood-stained road, it would have been as if there had never been a war.
"Count the casualties and carry all the wounded down!"
Under the command of the general, one soldier after another quickly cleaned the battlefield.
Buzz!
At this moment, when everyone was still cleaning the battlefield on the Huaiyun Cliff, the sound of the horn of the attack suddenly sounded, and then I saw a famous golden soldier rushing over from the narrow road like a dense locust.
"Retreat, archers cover! Prepare to invest in rolling logs, stones to block the road"
Looking at the hideous golden soldier, the general in charge of defense also immediately responded, and immediately ordered the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield to return to the back of the defense line, and then began to defend with bows and arrows, rolling wood, and stones.
Kill, kill, kill!
Bang! Bang!
Plop! Plop!
A noisy voice kept coming out of the battlefield, and the Jin army at this moment was like a walking corpse who was not afraid of life and death, and was not afraid of the bows and arrows that filled the sky, as well as rolling wood and stones.
If the person who charged in front died or was beaten into Huaishui, the Jin soldiers behind left to make up for it, and the living tactics of employing people forced into the entrance of the circular mountain road halfway up the Huaiyun Cliff.
"Quickly retreat to the stone castle!Prepare your spears and broadswords to meet the enemy!"
Looking at the Jin army, which was already less than 100 meters away from his own army, the general in charge of defense immediately ordered a group of soldiers to begin to abandon their long-range weapons and retreat quickly behind them.
Stomp!
With the retreat of the defending Song army, the Jin army was no longer obstructed, and its speed was even faster, and in a short moment, the Jin army poured in in large numbers, and the sound of dense footsteps immediately echoed in the narrow mountain.
To the west of Huaiyun Cliff, there is a road that crosses Huaishui, this road is made of hard rock, the road is five meters wide, showing a 20-degree slope, the whole road winds and turns until it extends to the halfway of Huaiyun Cliff, and then up is a circular mountain road that presents an S shape, through which the mountain road can go straight to Huaiyun Cliff.
And at this moment, the place where the Jin army is attacking is halfway up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, in the middle of the ring road leading to the summit, there is a valley, and on the north and south sides of this valley are towering peaks that cannot be climbed, and you must walk through the valley in order to pass through them.
The width of this valley is less than three meters, and because there is no sunlight all year round, it looks a little slippery, and because it is on the top of the Huaiyun Cliff, there is a valley with a slope, but it is not high, only a dozen degrees.
However, because of the slippery ground, as long as you are not careful, you will fall back, which also makes a famous golden army have to maintain a distance of one person's height when passing through this valley, and the pace needs to be very calm.
And it was precisely because of this that the Song army, which was in charge of defense, also had time to prepare, and when the Jin army launched a collective attack, it had already retreated to stone fortresses up to two meters high, and these stone forts also completely blocked the exit of the valley.
Not only that, but this stone castle has holes in the straight room, and a sharp spear is ready to shoot in it, ready to stab the enemy who storms the stone castle in the heart.
On the top of the stone castle, there was an archer who was ready to attack, and the sharp feathered arrows had already locked onto the golden army who was walking slowly in the valley.
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Finally, when the Jin army approached two hundred meters, the Song generals ordered an attack.
Hurry! Hurry!
With the sound of feathered arrows being shot, a famous Jin soldier fell in a pool of blood.
"Shield!"
At the same time, the generals of the Jin army also ordered the start of the defense.
Dangdang!
The sharp feathered arrows slashed sparks on the shields made of fine iron, but they couldn't shoot through.
This scene was also in the eyes of the generals of the Song Army, "Stop shooting, the big knife team!"
With the order of the general of the Song army, a soldier wearing armor with a big sword in his hand rushed out of the stone fort and rushed towards a famous golden soldier.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
"Kill, kill!"
In an instant, a soldier of the Song Army and a soldier of the Jin Army fought together.
In the tight hand-to-hand combat in this narrow valley, the Song army did not find any cheapness, and along with the fall of a famous Jin army, a famous Song army also fell.
Blood had stained the valley red, corpses were everywhere, and at the bottom of the valley at the moment, the soles of the soldiers' feet were no longer slipping, because they were all stuck in the bodies of a dead soldier.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Just when the remnants of the Song army were still desperately blocking the Jin army, the generals on the stone fort ordered the arrows without blinking an eyelid.
Hurry! Hurry!
With the shooting of sharp feather arrows, both the Jin army and those remaining soldiers were ruthlessly pierced through their bodies by feather arrows.
The generals of the Song army, who had a full view of this scene, turned a blind eye to it, and continued to give orders, and one by one feather arrows were constantly released along with his orders.
A moment later, more than half of the Jin army in the canyon had suffered casualties, and the Song army that went out to resist was completely annihilated.
Buzz!
The sound of the trumpet, symbolizing the withdrawal of troops, sounded again, and the remaining half of the Jin army also began to withdraw.
After the half-pillar incense, the Jin army completely retreated to the other side of the Huaishui, and the entire Huaiyun Cliff finally returned to calm again.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
In the largest camp in the center of Huaiyun Cliff, at this moment, Wang Yao was intently looking at a map drawing the terrain near Huaiyun Cliff, while behind him a general was holding an account book and reading.
"General Qiyu, our army has 500 casualties today, 1,000 lightly wounded, 200 seriously wounded, and ยทยทยทยทยทยท lost bows and arrows."
The general kept reporting to Wang Yao about the loss of his side today, and his expression looked a little worried in the process of reading.
"How could there be so many casualties today?" After listening to the general's report, Wang Yao found that the number of casualties this time was actually more than the number of people in the past five days combined, and he couldn't help but be very puzzled.
"General, don't you know, today the Jin army didn't know what was stimulated, and they launched wave after wave of attacks on us regardless of lossesยทยทยทยทยทยท
"It seems that Jin Jun has made a big move. โ
Listening to the general's brief account of what happened on the front line today, Wang Yao was thoughtful.
"The order will go down at any cost, and completely block the Jin army from Huaiyun Cliff for me!" Wang Yao said to a herald.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the herald went to the locations of the generals and conveyed Wang Yao's instructions.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
Buzz! Buzz!
The trumpet of the Jin army's attack on the other side of the Huaishui River sounded again, and the Jin army began to launch a fierce attack again.
A soldier on the Huaiyun Cliff, also under the leadership of a group of generals, began to resist the fierce attack of the Jin army.
Kill!
The war has started again, and the fierceness of the battlefield this time is not at all inferior to last night's battle, and even more tragic
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
Night fell again, and the Jin army retreated, and the general in charge of statistics in Wang Yao's camp reported the losses of the day as usual.
"General Qiyu, today the death toll is 1,000, the number of wounded is more than 1,000, the number of seriously injured is more than 500, bows and arrows... Grain and grass..."
Listening to the general's report, Wang Yao's face was not surprised but happy.
"Great, the Jin army is in a hurry, see that the general must have achieved the advantage. Wang Yao laughed.
"Pass the order, defend to the death! Unless there is life and death in these ten days, don't let these Jin troops step into the Huaiyun Cliff for half a step!" Wang Yao ordered with a serious face.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
Time passed, nine days later.
