Zhang Xi's so-called "life-saving artifact" is really not a new thing, it is a wooden board that is one person high and two people wide, with two handles in the middle, which is convenient for a single person to hold.

Zhang Xi's original plan was that in case of an ambush, Zhang Xi asked his guards to raise this wooden board to block the arrows, and he and his soldiers hid under this wooden board and retreated all the way.

Pang Tong was shot as a hedgehog in the romance, which was purely unprepared, but as long as he took a few more shields when he set off, he would not become a hedgehog.

It's just that the planks are not very easy to make, after all, there is no cutting machine or anything these days, and the wooden planks are made by hand, which is a bit time-consuming and laborious, Zhang Xi made up several days before he came up with two hundred planks.

Originally, it was just for life, and it was enough to have so many.

But now, Zhang Xi feels that it seems to be a little insufficient.

Before, it was used to save his life, but now, Zhang Xi wants to build an offensive channel to prevent arrows, and this amount is not enough.

Therefore, Zhang Xi had to ask the rear team to take the tent linen cloth used for camping and renovate it on the spot, and between the two planks, two layers of linen were connected together to expand the coverage of the plank.

It took a day to finally make these preparations, and Zhang Xi immediately found Kou Feng and Zong Pre to explain his battle plan.

In fact, it was very simple, that is, let a group of soldiers run forward with anti-arrow equipment of wooden planks and linen to attack the camp in the middle of the mountain road.

Anyway, those enemies on the arrow tower, although they can shoot arrows condescendingly, they can't easily get down, and it is impossible to stop the advance of their own army.

So all the way, all the way to the camp, you just need to guard against the attack of arrows.

The reason why it is so troublesome to make planks and linen cloth is to reduce the losses on the offensive road.

Of course, the wooden board is better, the linen cloth is purely anti-stray arrows, and if you really encounter a strong bow and a hard crossbow, you can't use five layers of linen.

But there is no way, with these preparations, it is impossible for Zhang Xi to set up camp at this mountain pass, let people make wooden planks.

After all, it is necessary to rush for time, and before Liu Xun reacts, he will strive to break through this camp and lead to the south gate.

At most, there is only a day or two to attack.

Therefore, we can only try to avoid greater losses, and then we have to fight hard and attack the camp in the rain of arrows after breaking all the way to the front of the camp in the middle of the mountain road.

As long as the camp is captured, there is no need to care about the defenders on the arrow tower, and the defenders who have no camp as a supply will all surrender after a day or two of starvation.

The plan is thought out, but there is a very real problem. Two hundred planks and all the linen cloth in the camp were put together, and they could only hold 500 people if they died, while the other party's camp stood on the road, and there may be 500 people inside, and the strength of the two sides was equal, and the defenders could not defend with one mind, and they might go out to meet the attack.

In this way, it is required that the part of the soldiers who break forward must be able to withstand the first wave of the enemy's impact, and at the same time follow up quickly, and quickly get involved with the enemy in a chaotic battle, so that the defenders in the arrow tower on the cliff will not dare to release their arrows for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

Moreover, with only these 500 people, the attacking army will not have any support, after all, it is impossible for Zhang Xi to let the soldiers brave the rain of arrows to support without any protection.

Therefore, once the attack is unfavorable and retreats, it can only rely on the attacking troops to find a way by themselves, and it is unlikely that Zhang Xi can send troops to respond.

Zhang Xi had to explain the danger of this battle to Kou Feng and Zong Pre, and then asked these two people who was willing to lead the troops to attack the camp.

Then Kou Feng and Zong Pre quarreled.

"Why do you need to ask more, since I led the troops, I have charged into battle and done everything, and this kind of thing is not competent for a certain family."

This is Kou Feng's bold words.

Zong Yu was more elegant, he just said to Zhang Xi, "General, since the last general entered Sichuan, he has not made an inch, and now the great achievement is in front of him, and I hope the general will be completed." ”

With this said, Kou Feng stopped doing it, and said to Zong Pre, "Why should Deyan fight for merit, this matter is a life of nine deaths, and you can't do it if you are a fierce general." ”

Zong Pre immediately snorted coldly and said, "If you are in the army, you should make meritorious contributions, how can you spare your life, and besides, Gongzhong is a fierce general, and I am not a fierce general?!" ”

"Deyan really wants to fight with me?!"

"How can this cause be indisputable?!"

These two people, the more Zhang Xi looked at them, the more he felt that he was a little ashamed of himself.

I didn't even think about doing this work myself, it was too dangerous.

In the end, the two of them were a little red-faced, Zhang Xi had to interrupt, and then issued a military order.

Kou Feng went first, if Kou Feng's attack was unfavorable, then let Zong pre-ascend.

It's not that Zhang Xi is biased towards Kou Feng, but Zhang Xi must take into account the risk minimization, and it is better to let Kou Feng try it than to let the unfamiliar sect attack in advance.

After all, Kou Feng is indeed brave, and this time the troops are transferred from Kou Feng's headquarters, and Kou Feng is more comfortable to command.

Then, Zhang Xi still waited deliberately for a day, and waited until Liu Bei sent another batch of planks and linen, Zhang Xi slightly strengthened the anti-arrow passage, which allowed Kou Feng to set off with the planks on top and attack the walled city.

And Kou Feng, this kid, did not insult the "fierce" evaluation in his history.

The 500 soldiers he chose to lead the attack were all Jingzhou soldiers, and all Jingzhou soldiers who had been trained in the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Kou Feng led such five hundred people, carrying a wooden plank and linen anti-arrow passage, and set off like this.

Along the way, the arrow towers on the mountain rocks shot arrows frantically, and soon the top of the wooden board was filled with dense arrows, and occasionally some arrows shot by strong bows and crossbows also shot through the linen cloth from above or sideways, killing and wounding some soldiers of the Kou Feng army.

But in the end, the casualties were much smaller than advancing without any protection.

From Zhang Xi's camp to Liu Xun's military camp in the middle of the mountain road, there are about two or three miles of mountain roads, and these two or three miles of mountain roads, even if they are against the anti-arrow passage, Kou Feng still paid thirty or forty casualties before he can be regarded as attacking in front of the enemy's camp.

The camp guards are naturally not idiots, seeing such a strange army coming towards their camp, and at the same time, because they want to defend against arrows, they have to line up in a long snake formation, if they don't attack in time, and when they pass through the arrow rain net and re-form the formation, then they are not even more uncomfortable.

Therefore, the remaining soldiers in the camp attacked.

But. One thing to say, the guards of this mountain road have a huge weakness.

There is a serious under-representation.

There is no way, Liu Xun himself is short of troops, and his Lao Tzu gave him 10,000 soldiers, which are still improvised, and there are less than half of the soldiers with combat experience.

And this kind of mountain road, although set up a variety of methods to prevent the enemy from passing, but the conditions themselves are very difficult, especially those soldiers guarding the arrow tower, eat and drink on the arrow tower, if it is not experienced soldiers to hold on, I am afraid that in a few days, the soldiers will not be able to endure this hardship, and there are not a few people left to escape.

Really, Liu Zhang's family's control over Yizhou is really not very strong, and the powerful power of Yizhou is being connived at by Liu Zhang, and this kind of desertion is not uncommon, until Zhuge Liang ruled Shu, occasionally deserters occupy the mountain as kings and harm the people.

Therefore, Liu Xun had to send his own cronies to guard this mountain road, but unfortunately, the soldiers did not dare to send more, only a thousand people.

These 1,000 people, you have to count the people placed on the arrow tower, if you have to arrange five people on an arrow tower, 200 arrow towers, this thousand people will be gone.

But if there are too few arrow towers, and there is no way to block the entire mountain road, Liu Xun is also in a dilemma, so he can only try to set up arrow towers in necessary places to save troops.

Even with this arrangement, there were only more than 300 people in the camp guarding the main road.

Originally, Liu Xun felt that 300 people were enough, after all, the mountain road was narrow, and the terrain itself was a bit of a one-man pass, and it was impossible to open it.

Coupled with the arrow towers on the rocky cliffs on both sides, who is full of food and supports the rain of arrows to attack this camp, they are really not afraid of casualties among the soldiers, right?!

Again, as long as he can withstand the first wave of the opponent's attack and delay for three or four days to return to the city to report the news, Liu Xun can send troops from the south gate to support this camp at any time, which should be foolproof.

Therefore, Liu Xun really thinks that there are enough people.

But now, the guard feels that it is not enough.

No one expected that Liu Bei's attacking troops would directly attack with anti-arrow equipment as if they knew the layout here in advance, and they only waited for a day to launch an attack. Now the soldiers sent by themselves for help don't know if they have arrived in the city.

Again, along the way, the damage of the people was really limited, and the large army visible to the naked eye was close to the camp, so it was impossible to defend it by relying on the three hundred people in their own battalion.

The defender decided that he would risk out of the camp and fight in the field, trying to defeat the opponent before the opponent was completely formed, and could not give the opponent a chance to attack the camp in formation.

Therefore, the defender left a hundred people to continue to defend the camp, while he led more than 200 people to attack, taking advantage of the fact that Kou Feng's army was still a long snake formation, killing him by surprise.

As soon as Kou Feng saw the enemy out of the camp, he immediately made a decision, stopped the anti-arrow passage, raised a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and rushed out of the anti-arrow passage first.

And the one who followed behind Kou Feng was naturally the long-card soldier in the mandarin duck array, holding his shield high and guarding both sides, and then the short knife soldier followed, following Kou Feng, and quickly rushed towards the enemy.

To put it simply, Kou Feng directly gave up the advantages of the mandarin duck formation this time, and directly used short knife soldiers to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the biggest blade was Kou Feng himself.

The short knife soldiers in the Mandarin Duck Formation are good at chaotic warfare, after all, they are the ones who want to make the Mandarin Duck Formation soldiers turn around and reorganize the formation through chaotic warfare at the right opportunity, and now under the leadership of Kou Feng, they are directly entangled with the enemy army.

This is a hand-to-hand combat with knives and knives, and it is also a dangerous and bloody battle.

Kou Feng is a pioneer in the real sense, slashing into the enemy formation with a knife and a shield, relying on his fierce combat methods, with his own strength, to create time for the short knife soldiers behind him to follow up.

And the short knife soldiers were also inspired by Kou Feng's desperate combat method, roaring and killing into the enemy formation, not seeking to break the formation, but strangling together as soon as possible, so that the soldiers on the arrow tower did not dare to shoot arrows.

And the remaining long-sword soldiers also quickly walked out of the anti-arrow channel, and under the escort of the long-card soldiers, they began to assemble the military formation, and then carried out the second wave of attacks.

From these soldiers, it can be seen that Kou Feng is not a reckless man, he really knows how to use the soldiers under his command, and he also knows how to use his soldiers flexibly under what circumstances.

For example, this time, the wolf soldiers and pikemen in the mandarin duck formation, Kou Feng, did not bring any of them, holding such a long weapon, and the weapons in the anti-arrow passage were definitely not able to fit a few people.

For example, at the beginning, lead the short knife soldiers to break into hand-to-hand combat, create an opportunity for the long knife soldiers and long card soldiers to form a formation, and then divide the attack into two groups, and completely break the enemy's defense line with continuous strikes.

Kou Feng was already fierce, and he also divided the soldiers into two groups of continuous attacks, plus once the soldiers formed a formation, in the face of the chaotic soldiers, the advantage was too great.

Soon, the enemy camp defenders could not hold on, and wanted to withdraw their troops back to the camp, relying on the camp to hold on.

But Kou Feng didn't give him this chance.

Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, Kou Feng suddenly roared, startling a few soldiers around him, and in a daze, Kou Feng rushed out of the encirclement in a few big steps and rushed towards the enemy general.

Then there is a knife that cuts off the head of the enemy general and solves all the problems.

As soon as the enemy general died, not to mention the enemy troops in the camp, even the enemy troops on the arrow tower, they were all shocked one by one, and Kou Feng had not completely killed the red eye, shouting "The enemy will be dead, and those who surrender will not be killed".

Then, it was easy to take over the camp and let the soldiers on the arrow tower come down and surrender.
