Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei commanded the soldiers, took local materials, moved the stones from the top of the mountain to the south side, and built a stone wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info|For every two people who watch romance, there is an account that has registered on the °.com. The stone wall built by the Zhenjun army has a lot of gaps in the middle, which can allow the firecrackers to hide behind the stone wall and shoot outward.
There was nothing to say during the day, and at night, the Ningnan army quietly assembled in the mountains, preparing to launch a night attack.
The direction of the Ningnan Army's attack was not the south side predicted by Shangguan Xiu, and it was still attacked by the cliffs on the east side. In the middle of the night, a large number of Ningnan troops had been assembled in the mountain, and people did not light torches, and the scene was dark and irrelevant, and there was no sound, and the atmosphere of slaughter was pervasive.
At the behest of the commander-in-chief of the Ningnan Army, the soldiers began to climb the mountain wall in batches.
During the day, they have fixed a lot of ropes on the mountain wall, and now it is easy to climb, and people use the help of ropes to silently climb upwards with all their might.
When the people reached the halfway point of the mountain, they stopped and looked at the top of the mountain. The only advantage of attacking from above at night is that it is easier to see from the top, but it is not very real when you look from above.
The Ningnan soldiers who stopped halfway up the mountain, could vaguely see the small heads poking out from the top of the mountain, and people knew in their hearts that they must be the soldiers of the Zhenjun Army who were putting up a sentry.
Some of the soldiers picked up their muskets from their shoulders and aimed upwards, and the leading general waved his arms at the surrounding musketeers, signaling them not to fire, and then he made a gesture to pull his crossbow. Tree like a web address: Closing the Mouth and Heart Chapter
The soldiers on the left and right understood, and there were several crossbowmen with superb archery skills, took out the hard crossbow, and carefully climbed up for a while, feeling that the opponent was within their range, and they were sure that they could shoot the opponent, so they stopped.
Several people slowly pulled the bowstring of the hard crossbow away little by little, trying not to make a sound, and then aimed their sharp edges at the little head poking out from the top of the mountain, and pulled the trigger of the hard crossbow one after another. In a series of soft sounds, more than a dozen crossbow arrows flew out.
Not a single bolt missed, and all of them were nailed to the heads that poked out of the top of the mountain. There was no scream, and the sentries fell down without a word as if they had been killed on the spot.
Seeing this, the generals of the Ningnan Army were overjoyed, waved their hands to the surrounding subordinates again and again, and signaled everyone to hurry up and climb up.
The night attack of the Ningnan army this time really had a miraculous effect, it did not alarm the wind army on the top of the mountain at all, and the people did not encounter any resistance, and they climbed to the top of the mountain smoothly and unimpeded. The Ningnan army was afraid of alarming the wind army, so they didn't dare to light the torches, and the wind army on the top of the mountain did not light a fire or make a bonfire, and the entire mountain was pitch black.
There were more and more Ningnan troops on the top of the mountain, and they became more and more dense, and gradually, the Ningnan army exceeded 1,000 people. Just when the Ningnan Army was about to launch a one-step operation and launch a full-scale attack on the Feng Army on the top of the mountain, suddenly, countless torches were lit on the top of the mountain, and the originally dark night was illuminated as bright as day.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army of Zhongning were all taken aback, and people consciously looked ahead, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a long row of heavy shield soldiers of the Wind Army, and the heavy shields were erected on the ground, forming a copper wall and iron wall. Behind the heavy shield soldiers, there were all spearmen and firearms.
"Haha!" There was a burst of laughter from the crowd of the Wind Army, and as the two heavy shield soldiers pushed to the left and right, several Wind Army generals walked out of the crowd.
The first one, in his early twenties, had profound facial features, a handsome appearance, a pair of eagle eyes, flashing with fine light, and especially striking was the two strands of silver hair fluttering on his chest.
This young man is not a bystander, it is Shangguan Xiu.
He looked at the stunned people of the Ningnan Army on the other side with a smile, and said, "Everyone, our army has been waiting here for a long time, and you really didn't disappoint me, and you really came." Since you're here, I'll give you a ride and let you go straight back to your hometown!"
"Ahh
"Shangguan Xiu!" As Shangguan Xiu spoke, he swung his knife forward and shouted, "Kill!"
As he gave an order, the Feng Jun present shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!"
Amid the shouts of the people in unison, the heavy shield soldiers in the front row began to move forward. Boom, boom, boom! Every time the people took a step forward, the heavy shields smashed to the ground with a deafening loud sound.
The firecrackers in the Ningnan army fired at the opposite side one after another. But whether it is a projectile of a fire gun or an arrow of a hard crossbow, it cannot penetrate the heavy shield.
The heavy shield is so heavy that even a heavy shield soldier with a big waist and a round waist cannot lift the heavy shield and charge forward continuously, so he can only lift the heavy shield, take a step forward, release, and then charge up and lift, take another step, and then release. Cyclically, the speed is slow, but if the enemy has no artillery strikes and no cavalry charge, it is almost difficult to break the shield array of heavy shields.
This is exactly the case at this time, the projectile crossbow bolt hit the shield surface of the heavy shield, clanging, sparks splashing everywhere, but only leaving a few dents on the shield surface, which could not stop the advance of the heavy shield soldiers at all. On the other hand, on the side of the wind army, they didn't want to waste ammunition, so the musketeers retreated one after another, and the spearmen stepped forward, constantly approaching with the cover of heavy shields.
Soon, the soldiers of both sides came into contact. The heavy shieldmen of the Wind Army pushed their shields and kept squeezing forward, while the spearmen behind them kept stabbing forward. The Ningnan army, which numbered of thousands, was killed row after row of soldiers in front of them, and they were killed and retreated.
But behind them was a cliff, and many of the soldiers standing behind them did not fight the enemy, but were squeezed by their companions in front of them, and their bodies involuntarily fell backwards and fell off the cliff.
The Ningnan army general who took the lead held a spirit sword and kept slashing forward, but his spirit sword could not break the heavy shield either, and could only cut scratches on the heavy shield, while he himself was hit by the heavy shield and retreated again and again.
Just as he was shouting frantically, letting his brothers resist the Wind Army's shield array with all his might, a narrow Mo knife suddenly stabbed out from the gap in the shield array, and the edge of the Mo knife hit the gap in his lower abdomen spirit armor and plunged deeply.
The general of the Ningnan army screamed in pain, and instinctively reacted and pulled out a sword, and the sharp edge of the spirit sword slashed through the heavy shield, drawing a long string of sparks on the shield surface, and at the same time, another spear pierced out of the gap in the heavy shield.
Poof! The spear pierced his left eye socket with such precision that most of the spearhead was not in his eye socket. Pity this Ningnan army general, before he could show his skills in a hurry, he died tragically in the shield array of the wind army.
Of the more than 1,000 Ningnan troops who climbed to the top of the mountain, only a few hundred people really died from the blades of the wind army, and most of them were pushed against the cliff by the shield array of the wind army and fell to death on the mountain.
The wind army killed the enemy on the top of the mountain, and then did not give up, and smashed the stones that could be seen everywhere on the top of the mountain to the enemy who was climbing on the mountain wall, and as the stones fell like hailstones, the Ningnan army on the mountain wall also fell to death one after another.
The corpses of the Ningnan army at the foot of the mountain, stacked on top of each other, have been paved for a long time. The main general of the Ningnan army, who was in the mountain sweeping formation, sighed secretly, the wind army was cunning and vigilant, this night attack on his side, instead of succeeding, he also lost a lot of troops.
He instructed left and right: "Mingjin collects the troops, and I want to know who the main general of the Wind Army is!"
The night attack launched by the Ningnan army ended in failure, and the soldiers who retreated from the mountain wall had a sense of happiness that they had picked up a life.
As for who the main general of the Feng Army was, no one on the side of the Ningnan Army knew, to be exact, those who knew had either been killed or fallen to their deaths, and none of them survived.
The peaks on both sides of the Wanyuan Valley are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Ningnan army has 20,000 people, but there is no possibility of attacking it. Of course, the chief general of the Ningnan Army is not a fool, it is impossible to hit the south wall and not look back, and he does not know how to be flexible.
After careful observation, the commander of the Ningnan army also found that the mountain ridge on the south side of the south peak was connected to it, and attacking from the mountain range on the south side to the south peak not only greatly shortened the distance, but also the slope of the mountain slope was not very steep.
Realizing this, the commander of the Ningnan Army secretly breathed a sigh of relief and realized that his opportunity had come. At noon the next day, the Ningnan army launched another onslaught on the southern peak of Wanyuan Valley.
It's just that this onslaught launched from the east side is just an illusion, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and a large number of Ningnan troops quietly climbed the mountain ridge on the south side of Wanyuan Valley, and launched a surprise attack on the south peak from the mountain range on the south side.
The Ningnan army thought that this move would definitely catch the wind army by surprise, but who knew that the wind army had already taken precautions, and the stone wall had already been arranged on the gentle slope. Seeing that a large number of Ningnan troops were attacking, behind the stone wall, the firecrackers who were waiting for the battle opened fire one after another.
The gunshots continued to ring, and the Ningnan army, which rushed up the gentle slope, was instantly hit by a platoon of people.
The corpses rolled down the hillside, either tumbling or falling into the cliffs on either side. The Ning Nanjun in the back was hit by the corpses of his companions who rolled over, and a large piece fell down.
Soon, the firecrackers of the Ningnan army also began to return fire on the gentle slope.
However, the stone wall arranged in advance by the Wind Army provided the most perfect protection for their own firecrackers, and most of the firecracker projectiles shot from the surface were blocked by the stone wall. Projectiles hit the stones, crackling, and stone chips flew sideways.
"Charge! Rush to the top of the mountain with all your strength and knock down the stone wall of the Wind Army!" the general of the Ningnan Army hid behind a boulder, poked his head out, and gave orders to the soldiers who were timidly moving around.
People stubbornly continued to attack upwards along the gentle slope, but rushed up a group, and were shot and killed by the fire soldiers of the wind army, only to see the soldiers of the Ningnan army on the gentle slope, the corpses and the wounded, constantly rolling and falling into a ball, and the screams came one after another, and they were already connected.
"Heavy shield soldiers! Let the heavy shield soldiers come up and suppress the formation!" Seeing that his own soldiers could not rush up, the general of the Ningnan army began to summon his own heavy shield soldiers again.
The heavy shield is heavy, and the heavy shield soldier carries a heavy shield, and the speed of climbing the mountain is much slower. Finally waiting for the heavy shield soldiers, the Ningnan army began to line up on the hillside. The heavy shield men were in front, and the rest of the soldiers were behind, advancing step by step towards the top of the hillside.
