377 Defensive counterattack

The tactics of the Hubei army responsible for guarding the pass are: when the big arrows of the army are fired violently, the Hubei army on the wall retreats into the long rows of stone slab houses and various barriers that have been erected in advance to avoid arrows; With the rockets fired by the army, the Hubei troops who were huddled in the stone slab house threw water bags together, and at the same time used a long water gun to shoot water jets to extinguish the flames; When the smoke of the remnants of the fire was thick, the soldiers who were hiding in the stone slab house immediately rushed out to fight; The soldiers hidden in the urn city used two wide stone stairs to treat the wounded soldiers at any time and deliver solutions.

For a while, it was difficult to see the victory or defeat in the attack and defense of the Copper Green Gate.

The situation is different between the two mountains. When the Hubei army retreated into the ditch to avoid the rain of arrows, the soldiers of the infantry began to climb the mountain. The bird's-eye view of the Ejun was very clear from the heights, and as soon as the horn was blown, the Ejun barracks pushed down the rolling logs and stones, and went straight to the mountain climbers.

But the arrows of the army were extremely powerful, and the soldiers of the fortress were almost immediately shot when they appeared. There are also large arrows and spears whistling and flying, or nailing thick rolling logs directly into the mountain in the middle of the mountain, or penetrating the cracks in the stone slabs and hitting the barriers.

The foot soldiers in the trenches of the Hubei army were originally knights, and when they saw such a terrifying arrow for the first time, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and they could only find a gap and struggle to push down the rolling wood and stones, and their density and power were greatly weakened. Although the infantry soldiers were damaged, they still fought bravely to attack the mountain.

When the rocket hit the barrier and ignited the fire, the infantry soldiers had already raised their shields and swung their swords to kill. At this time, the rain of arrows with the army stopped, and the Hubei army jumped out of the barrier in the fireworks and fought bravely. Once engaged in a battle on the ground, the combat strength of the Hubei army was not inferior to that of the accompanying army, and the two armies were inseparable.

At this time, the Hubei army has one strength, but it is immediately effective, which is the portable bow and arrow.

This Hubei army uses flying cavalry as the main elite force, and its infantry attack equipment is not as good as that of the accompanying army, and there are fewer large crossbows fired from a distance. Therefore, the Hubei army could not compete with the accompanying army for the rain of arrows, but could only hide in the fortress when the armed crossbow salvo was fired.

This is not the case in close combat, most of the Liangshan and Hubei armies are elite knights who are good at riding and shooting, and they are extremely powerful within 100 paces. Although the infantry soldiers also have bows and arrows, their archery skills are generally inferior to their opponents. Even today's back attack, and there is an arrow array to cover, the mountain attacking foot soldiers rushed to the mountain to kill the enemy with all their might, and almost did not think of taking off the longbow and arrow pot to shoot at close range.

E Jun could see clearly from a high place, and saw that his sergeant was unable to get out of the fight and open his bow, so he immediately ordered the sharpshooters of the rear team to secretly dispatch, each of them chose a place to hide among the trees, and aimed at the fighting soldiers to shoot individually. In less than half an hour, the soldiers who fought bravely fell one after another inexplicably, and the situation in front of the barrier was gradually reversed.

"Mingjin withdraws his troops!" Sui Hou resolutely ordered.

In the afternoon, the shogunate gathered generals, and Sui Shizi, who was in charge of the main attack, roared angrily and angrily that the Hubei army was plotting with cold arrows, and he would definitely capture the two mountains in another battle. A group of young generals also advocated continuous onslaught and never stopped fighting until they took the Copper Green Mountain.

Sui Shizi proposed a new tactic: send two light battalions of 3,000 people, each from behind the two mountains to attack the Hubei army; The front will increase the fierce fire and oil arrows to burn the camp, occupy the two mountains first, and then attack the fortified city, and the battle will definitely be successful.

All of a sudden, the hall roared and shouted angrily.

"Everyone, don't be impatient."

The retinue stood up in front of the handsome case: "I am in front of the army today, I must not attack or fight, and the fierce attack and continuous battle will force the enemy to trap the beast and fight, and it is impossible to fight to the death. That's the point."

He turned around suddenly, and his long sword circled the standing map: "Right now, the priority of my main army is only to hold back the army of Ejun, and not to make it get out of the Copper Green Mountain. There is the main elite of the Hubei country and the prince here, I am not afraid that he will not send troops to save the Hubei country, as long as the army of the Hubei country is brought in, and the king of Chengzhou should cooperate with the outside world, and the defeat of the Hubei country in one fell swoop is just around the corner. Otherwise, even if our army can recapture Tonglu Mountain, it will be difficult to guarantee that Hubei will not come to rob it in the future, and I will never be at peace with the country."

"May you hear your plan!" The generals were in unison, apparently calming down.

"The outnumber's tactics are: feints with arrows and rain every day, and sneak attacks in small groups every night, so that the Hubei army will never rest in peace. What's more, there has been a drought and little rain recently, and when the spring water of Tonglu Mountain dries up, how long can they keep it?"

"By Your Command!" The generals fully approved of Suihou's strategy.

In the early morning of the next day, the army shouted and killed the offensive again. When the Hubei army retreated into the barrier, after a violent rain of arrows, there was no attack and killing with the army.

Night, E

The military camp was dark, but suddenly a torch armor soldier came from the mountain forest, and one after another continued all night. The Hubei army fought briefly and fiercely one after another, and by dawn they were exhausted.

If it was three days, both E Jun and E Shizi Kun had already seen through the tactics of the army, so they ordered their own army: the detachment rotated to defend the base, and the army did not attack much, and the Hubei army did not defend completely; The army immediately sent a small group of warriors to attack the camp of the army, which also made it impossible for them to camp and rest. With such a-for-tat, no one can get out.

Although there was a huge disparity in the strength of the more than 30,000 troops guarding the mountains and the more than 100,000 troops surrounding the mountains, the two sides entered a delicate stage of great stalemate.

Since the fierce offensive and defensive battle of the two armies in Hubei began on the Tonglu Mountain, the joint request for reinforcements between the general and the prince of the snowflakes has continued to fly into the palace. Hou Yufang forcibly suppressed the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, and still entered the court as usual every day, and the 100,000 foot cavalry mixed army outside the city drilled every day, and the sound shook the sky; Groups of weapons and horse harness, and carts of grain and grass entered and exited the camp in an endless stream. Everyone was ready, and everyone waited for the trombone to sound.

But when will this trumpet of sending troops sound? A day has passed, two days have passed------ almost half a month has passed, why are you still not sending troops? Could it be that the Hou is afraid and doesn't want Tonglu Mountain? Or is it that the king of Cheng Zhou has been dispatched? What about the 30,000 warriors and sons who guarded the Copper Green Mountain? Could it be that something has happened to the Egong? ------- the people are faintly discussing that Mrs. Yi intends to use the hands of the army to eradicate the prince Kun, so as to help her son and son Chong ascend to the throne, and it is rumored that she has a nose and eyes.

It wasn't until the top-secret information from Luoyi in the north came to the Egong that the long-lost marching horn finally sounded.

"The king, when the minister heard the sound of the horn, did he want to send troops-------- Huaiqing hurriedly entered the palace to meet him, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he seemed to be choked by his throat, and he couldn't say a word anymore. It turned out that what he saw was an Ehou Yufang wearing a shiny brass armor, wearing a long sword at his waist and holding a long halberd in his hand, which was clearly a dress for the expedition, what else was there to ask?

"Since the right minister has arrived, the widow has told you good news." E Yufang shook a bamboo strip with inscription in his hand and said: "The spies have reported that the king of Haojing has announced Kui Duoyou, and it is clearly ordered that in the battle of Tonglu Mountain, the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou shall not send troops."

"If ------- really did that?" Huaiqing couldn't believe it.

"Haha! The Zhou room is already at the end of the crossbow, and the drum goes out to fight, and this time the widow will definitely kill the army without leaving a piece of armor. From now on, no one will dare to compete with the widows for the Bronze Green Mountain."
