Chapter 102: Cliff Road in Distress
readx;
In the summer, the wooded mountains are covered with leaves, so the sun does not get in, and the area covered in the shade of the trees is a little damp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The whole person seemed to be in a steamer, fortunately everyone was wearing robber clothing, although Xu Qingfeng might have guessed that they were not bandits, but the soldiers of the meridian camp were not willing to wear formal combat clothes.
The equipment of the Song army is actually very simple, it may be that the emperor is guarding against the rebellion of the generals everywhere, so only one-third of the soldiers of the entire Song army are equipped with armor, and the rest are some leather armor, and the opponent's arrows shoot over, and they can't resist it at all, which also causes why the Song army fights outside, even if it wins, it is a tragic victory.
If you lose, it will almost always end in total annihilation.
It's summer, and with leather armor on, your body can't stand such a hot weather at all.
If the entire army were equipped with the appearance of infantry armor, don't wait for the battle, the people may already be hot in the armor, let alone fighting.
In fact, there is nothing mysterious about the so-called step armor, that is, to put a person in armor as a whole, and then hold a battle axe, relying on the unique conditions of being invulnerable, and it is a god-like existence in the army.
However, the infantry armor has a fatal drawback, that is, it is inconvenient, so it generally only appears on the battlefield as a defense.
The so-called one husband should be closed, and ten thousand people are not open, which is the truth.
It can be seen that when the Song army designed this suit, it was based on defense, unlike the party items of the Western Xia and the Liao people to improve their offensive equipment.
Everyone is studying how to make the offensive weapon sharper, and the Song army is thinking about how to achieve the ultimate defense, so why the Song army can't get an inch of gold on the battlefield is this reason.
Of course, this is not the whole reason, the main reason is still in the court, but even the generals are not enterprising, so even if the emperor lets you go out with a helmet and armor, it is really hard to say whether you can come back.
In this era where courage is still needed to decide the outcome of the battle, everything else is support, and morale is very important, so no matter how anxious and hesitant Wu Xi seems in the tent, as long as he appears in front of the soldiers, he must have a confident expression.
They all live by him, and the morale of the general is gone, so the soldiers under his command will not improve much.
Therefore, it is very important to lead the troops to fight and present the state of the Lord in front of the soldiers, and of course, tactical command and on-the-spot adaptability are also very important.
Wu Xi lifted his hem and kept fanning the wind, trying to cool himself down, his anxious mood was like a small insect swimming back and forth in his body, which could not be eliminated, and it seemed that there was a tendency to spread.
The bull's-eyed baby Lei Leopard around them was also uncomfortable, just because they were disturbed by Wu Xi's emotions.
It seems that they are smiling and resigned, but there is a little worm in their hearts that is also scratching them mercilessly.
Lao Bian led the way in front as a guide, and there was no figure jumping up and down Qingyang and Ergouzi, occasionally appearing beside Wu Xi, bowing his head and whispering something, and then disappeared from people's sight.
As the sky brightens, the water vapor slowly subsides, followed by a thin layer of mist.
The anxiety in the hearts of the soldiers was even worse, and it spread to no one of them, and the whole team seemed to be in danger of collapsing at any moment.
Even though they are all for money, they are all masters who do not want to die, but they have not received the money, so it is not worth it to die like this.
According to the clues provided by Lao Bian and the clues sent back by Qingyang, after slowly piecing together, Wu Xi has probably mastered the general topography of Lao Niu Mountain.
If you want to reach the cave where Xu Qingfeng is hiding in Lao Niu Mountain, you must pass through a very narrow cliff road.
The so-called cliff road is a road built on the rock wall, which can only accommodate a person walking against the wall after being dug out by hand, and the bottom is a bottomless cliff, and people walk on it, not to mention that it is a war, it is to let you put down and take a look, and the timid people can tremble with their legs.
Usually when Xu Qingfeng and they go up and down, there is a hanging basket that can be used, but now that they are the attacking side, Xu Qingfeng knows the wind, and the rope used to put the hanging basket has been destroyed, anyway, there is food on the mountain, even if there is no food, game is also a good choice.
When Wu Xi stood in front of the burned hanging basket, he was even more sure that the wealth on the entire Shipeng Mountain should be under Xu Qingfeng's control, otherwise he wouldn't dare to burn their way of survival, if he didn't have the stock in his hand, he wouldn't have such courage at all.
A strange smile appeared on Wu Xi's face, and the soldiers behind him naturally had no way to see clearly.
The bull's eye baby took the lead on the cliff road, the soles of her feet were very stable, there was no sign of trembling at all, and from time to time she turned back to cheer up the brothers who were about to go up.
Wu Xi didn't know if it was pretending or if he was really not afraid, anyway, when he saw this road, the whole person was instantly bad, this can't be called a road at all, it's just that one foot can just be placed on it, if one is not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Originally, Wu Xi was going to be the first to go up, in order to boost morale, but the bull's eye baby would not let Wu Xi do this, as a general, saving his life is the first priority.
Lei Bao saw that the bull-eyed baby had snatched the first credit, and his face was unhappy, and before the soldiers led by the bull-eyed baby walked away completely, he followed angrily.
Wu Xi very much hopes to see this kind of competition, which can not only improve combat effectiveness, but also set a good example for the soldiers behind him.
Sure enough, the soldiers behind saw that the two generals' right-hand men had gone up, and they were still walking very steadily, so their hanging hearts finally loosened a little.
This is a good start, it is not that he has not yet reached Laoniu Mountain, and the morale is boasted first, if that is the case, Wu Xi would rather not have the wealth here, and he can't put the lives of his brothers into it.
Fortunately, this difficulty was encountered, and it happened to be a good way to boost morale.
Fortunately, the cliff road is not very long, only two hundred meters away from the front and back, even if there is any emergency on the opposite side, then, the crossbow arrows of the soldiers behind him are enough to deal with it, that is, the situation above the head is not very clear now, if Xu Qingfeng is smart enough, there is an ambush above, then these people who climb on the cliff road have absolutely no reason to survive.
I was really afraid of something, and before Wu Xi's thoughts could be contained, a person's head was exposed on the platform above the cliff, and the cold and piercing crossbow arrows had been aimed at everyone, and some of them still had stones in their hands, just waiting for an order, the soldiers on the cliff road would be lifted off the cliff and fall to pieces.
