Chapter 378: Fierce Battle
In the midst of the hills that rise and fall.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng erected six fortifications and scattered 30,000 or 40,000 people. Simple, but also very strong fortifications.
There is a circular wooden fence on the perimeter, which is very high, and the wood is very thick and sharp at the top, which is not easy to push down. The upper level of the fence had a place for archers and spearmen to stand on.
There is a fence inside where wounded soldiers and garrisons can hide.
Most of the defenders were men and women in the prime of life, with a small number of soldiers.
Four fortifications stand on the periphery and two on the inside. Until the other fortifications are breached, the two fortifications inside are safe.
These hills are so close that archers can cross to kill enemy troops on the road. If the Mengyuan soldiers advance desperately, they are just live targets.
Children, the weak, and many more women were hidden in these two fortifications. The same is true of the soldiers, who numbered about two thousand.
This is actually a mobile force. If any of the fortifications are in trouble, the soldiers can quickly attack and support.
Defending is of course an option, but there is no counter-attacking defense, just passively beaten. There are mobile forces, and there are fierce soldiers who can fight with the Mengyuan soldiers.
It is the capital of Wu Nian.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"
Two flags. The flags of "Wu" and "Yanhan" were erected in the innermost two fortifications.
Under the banner of the word "Wu", there is a platform made of wood.
The wound on Wu Nian's head was treated, a white bandage was tied, and the helmet was put back on. With his left hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, he stood with his head held high.
Wang Gui stood beside him, looked at Wu Nian's head, and secretly said pity in his heart.
After the general used a plan to lure Yan Xian to chase after him, he bent his bow and shot him. was dodged by Wan Yanxian. If you can kill Yan Xian with one arrow. Then it's a different story. ”
Wang Gui remembered the scene at that time, and couldn't help but be full of emotion. Wu Nian rode back with blood on his head, and he and Zhang Sheng hurriedly went up to greet him, and only after confirming that it was a small injury did they put their minds at ease.
Immediately, they learned about the situation at that time from the mouth of the ten horsemen who followed Wu Nian out of battle, and their morale was immediately boosted, and at the same time, they secretly regretted.
It's a pity that it's been now.
Wu Nian didn't know what Wang Gui was thinking at all, and for him, the past was over. After shooting Yan Xian, it was naturally a great thing, and if he didn't shoot him, he could only put it down.
One of his hearts was completely focused on the next battle. Hold on here, wait for dark, and then head to the North Hill Fort to join the reinforcements.
Beishan Fort is the foundation.
At that time, the dragon entered the sea and the bird went to the sky.
Wu Nian raised his head and looked at the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "The Mengyuan soldiers are still gathering, I should still have a little time." But the time of the garrison will never be less than an hour, that is, two hours. ”
"Two hours. It is not easy to rely on the army and the people to resist the attack of the soldiers of the Mengyuan and Han people. Now is not the time to be reassured. ”
Thinking of this, Wu Nian raised his head, took a deep breath, and said loudly:
"Brothers, uncles. This is the last battle, and if you win it, you will go back to Beishan Fort with me. ”
"Beishan Fort is the world of [Yan Han], you don't have to grovel to the Mengyuan people anymore."
He was full of energy, his voice was loud, and his voice was like rolling thunder, spreading in all directions.
The morale of the soldiers and civilians in the six fortifications was already extremely high, and after listening to Wu Nian's words, the morale became even higher.
"That's right. This is the last battle. Once there, we can go to Beishan Fort and live and work in peace. ”
"Beishan Fort. The mountains in that area have become taboo for the Mengyuan people. As long as I go to Beishan Fort, I will still be the master of this land, not a second-class person under the rule of the Mengyuan people. ”
"Beishan Fort. It's really desirable. ”
Whether it is passively or actively following Wu Nian to go from place to place, the people who have embarked on this arduous journey have no way to retreat.
Beishan Fort is their only harbor, a super yearning harbor.
As soon as I thought that this journey was coming to an end, Beishan Fort was close at hand. There seems to be a fire in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians, their morale is rising, and they are full of strength.
The spies of the Mengyuan people wanted to find out the reality here.
Wu Nian's spies, of course, also kept an eye on the reality of Meng Yuan's soldiers.
After about half an hour, a spy approached briskly. After entering the fortifications, he knelt down on one knee and reported to Wu Nian: "General." The Mengyuan people gathered about 10,000 elite soldiers, and then divided the east, west, and south directions, and put on an offensive posture. ”
"Pass the word on and get ready for battle." Wu Nian's expression was extremely calm, and he ordered.
"Yes."
The heralds answered, then left the fortifications, dispersed, and spread the news of the intelligence. The soldiers and civilians in the four outer fortifications immediately showed a look of slaughter.
Strong warriors with spears and armor. Before, they were archers of hunters or military households, and there were some women and strong men who hid on the ground with spears and steel knives.
Everyone's body was tense, and their faces were full of determination.
I am invincible.
"Woo woo woo !!!!"
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
The sound of concussive war drums and melodious trumpets sounded almost at the same time. Soar into the sky and shake people's hearts.
A large number of Mengyuan and Han soldiers pressed from the east, west and south.
The flags of "Jin", "Jin" and "Pu" were erected, and Jin Ruiyun, Jin Huanshan, and Puguli each carried more than 3,000 Mengyuan and Han soldiers, and the horizontal guns were immediately in the three directions.
"Offense!!!!!!! Take down the head of Wu Nian. ”
The three of them raised their long-handled weapons almost at the same time, and let out a tiger sound.
And in this mixed combat unit, of course, there is also a clear distinction between high and low.
Han Chinese soldiers were placed in the front row as cannon fodder for the first wave of attacks. Every Han soldier was pale and trembling with timidity. But there was nothing they could do, the Mengyuan people behind them were even more fierce, and if they escaped, they would die even worse.
Only by defeating Wu Nian can they survive.
"Kill !!!"
Under the watchful eye of the Mengyuan soldiers, the Han soldiers mustered up the courage in their chests, let out a neat roar, carried ladders, raised spears, and carried bows and arrows, and pounced on the fortifications on the hill from the bottom up.
Their equipment is basically the same as that of the Mengyuan soldiers, and outsiders can't tell who is who.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
The soldiers and civilians in the fortifications only knew one thing.
The enemy pounces on him.
"Whoosh !!!!" The hunters, or the soldiers, who temporarily served as archers, drew their bows and circled them all without aiming.
Just shoot at the range of the enemy in front of you.
Arrows rained down.
"Ahhh!!h
"Poof, poof."
In the Mengyuan army, the Han soldiers in the front row were hit by arrows, and the screams were endless. The Warriors fell to the ground, and the Ironclads continued forward, slaying towards the fortifications.
