Chapter 557: The Importance of Su Shi
With so many attack weapons placed here, the morale of the army was greatly shaken, and even when they saw the crowd of alien troops on the mountainside, they didn't seem to be so scared at this time, and they were all full of fighting spirit.
Halfway up the mountain, the Liao and Western Xia armies also had breakfast and began to gather their armies to prepare for the attack on the mountain.
Of course, the food of these alien races is not as good as that of the Su family's army, but they can also eat enough, I am afraid that they all know the importance of the next battle, and the foreign generals who lead the troops are not stingy, so that the soldiers can have the strength to attack the mountain when they are full.
That is, attacking the mountain, that is a work of strength.
Under the back, it is already very laborious, and it can also cause a lot of casualties.
But whether it was Qi Ruoshan or Yi Lingxing, who led the troops, they were all ready to pay a certain amount of casualties.
There are no immortals in war, and the important thing is that so many people who have died must capture the mountain. As long as this goal can be achieved, even if the losses are large, it is nothing.
Chenshi.
At about half past seven in the morning, the Liao dog and the Xixia wolf on the mountainside began to attack.
When they arrived here last night, they didn't do nothing, they made a lot of ladders, and now they set up ladders towards the stone wall, and groups of archers climbed up, hoping to shorten the distance between the two sides and make the bow and arrow more lethal.
On the mountain road of the north peak, there are thousands of soldiers of the two tribes, holding shields, rushing up.
Due to the large number of aliens, and the trail is not very wide, the mountain road looks from a distance full of crowded heads.
That's how powerful the military array is.
Once the formation is formed, you can't go forward alone. Of course, you can't do that if you want to back down because you're afraid.
When everyone is huddled together, any individual must move with the movement of the entire formation.
In the face of such a military formation, the so-called heroism is a joke, and the so-called personal strength is nothing at all.
No matter how powerful a master is, once he is surrounded by such a military formation, he will still die.
And most of them are exhausted, and they will eventually die of being pierced through the heart by a hundred knives and thousands of guns because they have no strength.
An army of 1,000 people, two Liao soldiers, and two Western Xia troops began to charge along the mountain road to the mountain peak.
"Shoot the arrows."
Just when the ladder was just erected and the archers of the alien race were climbing towards the top of the ladder, Xu Ba, who was standing on the mountain road, gave the order to release the arrows.
Instantly, countless arrows rained down on the archers of both tribes, causing one howl of pain after another.
"Charge!"
The alien army of the four battle formations, seeing that the Song army had released its arrows, also began to charge, wanting to attract the attention of the Song army archers on the mountain.
"Shoot the arrows."
Xu Ba took the saber in his hand and pointed to the mountain road, and another rain of arrows fell, hitting the shield of the Liao army that was rushing towards him, crackling.
The reservists of the forbidden army, who had a sufficient number of bows and arrows, even saved the link of aiming, and when they saw the enemy, they shot the arrows out of the same way.
Those with little strength clanged against the shield.
With great strength, he directly pierced the arrow on the shield, and even pierced through, causing a Liao shield hand to fall to the ground.
Often at this time, countless arrows will take the opportunity to shoot more Liao troops rushing from above.
The Liao army fell a shield hand, and immediately someone rushed to the top in the rear, and the two sides came and went, and after the Liao army paid a certain number of casualties, the distance between the two sides was also getting closer.
"Shoot the arrows, and don't let them rush at you." Standing on the mountain road, there was no intention of retreating, Xu Ba shouted loudly.
At this time, he could not retreat, once he retreated, the enemy would take advantage of the situation to pursue, only two hundred meters of mountain road, there was no room for them to retreat several times.
In this way, the mountain road, which is not too long, has become a place where both sides must fight, and you come and go, and soon the blood will pave the entire mountain road
。
There was a lot of blood, and it began to flow halfway up the mountain.
But whether it is Ling Yixing or Qi Ruoshan, they are as if they have not heard of it.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
This is one of the basic qualities for a general.
All they have to do now is to take the North Peak as quickly as possible, so that the dead soldiers will be considered worthy of death.
The alien army did not back down, and more and more soldiers died, and when the first Liao army of 1,000 people was all dead, they also advanced about fifty meters.
And at this time, the thousand-man team of Western Xia rushed forward close behind.
"Shoot up!"
Seeing that the enemy's progress was too fast, Xu Ba gave the order to shoot at an elevated angle.
At that moment, a large number of arrows were shot into the air, and when they fell, there was a crackling sound above the heads of the Western Xia Thousand People.
The arrows fell and fell on the top of the heads of the Western Xia soldiers, causing certain casualties, forcing the Western Xia Thousand Men to transfer their shields to the top of their heads. And it was at this time that Xu Ba suddenly rushed down the mountain with the three hundred warriors who had been prepared a long time ago.
Each of them had a spear in his hand.
The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, when the Song army with guns rushed down the mountain and kept handing guns forward, they caught the Western Xia army off guard.
The Western Xia troops in the first two rows were stabbed to the ground one after another, causing this thousand-strong team to panic.
"Withdraw!"
With a successful blow, Xu Ba quickly retreated with three hundred warriors, followed by another burst of arrows shooting wildly, causing the Western Xia soldiers who had just wanted to start a pursuit to fall.
In a short period of time, there were less than 300 people left in a team of 1,000 people, who were completely crippled and had no choice but to retreat.
A Liao army of 1,000 people was replaced, and this time they sandwiched some archers in it, in case the Song army would suddenly rush down. As these archers began to counterattack in the shield array, the Su army guarding the mountain also began to suffer certain casualties.
In general, these casualties are still within an acceptable range, and relying on the advantage of geographical advantages, the two sides really shoot at each other, and it is the Su Shi Division that guards the mountain that makes the cheapest profit.
There was a lot of fighting on the mountain.
In the land of the Great Song Dynasty under the mountain, a large number of Great Song reinforcements are frantically pouring towards the place where Shigu Mountain is located.
Although they did not know what the situation was like on the mountain. But think about it, the young marshal has less than 10,000 soldiers around him, but he has to face the siege of 100,000 or more troops from Liao and Western Xia, which is terrifying to think about.
In particular, the Jiju Division, which was at the forefront of the reinforcements.
He knew better than anyone what the Black Rider was based on.
Su Shi is in, and Black is riding.
Su Shi died, and the black rider died.
In the black horse, anyone can have an accident, but it is Su Shi, and there must be no accident.
With such an idea, Ji Zhu and the others are constantly whipping up.
They rode all excellent Mongolian horses with long-lasting legs, and any one of them was worth a lot of money when they got outside.
But at this moment, none of the five thousand black horsemen will waste the foot strength of the war horses, even if they know that after this battle, these war horses are afraid that they will be scrapped, but no one will feel distressed.
They knew more clearly that if they saved the young marshal, there would be any horse.
On the other hand, if Sushi is in danger, everything that exists will soon be lost.
The Song army in the Wutai area also quickly returned to the aid after a night of cleaning.
After a night of sweeping, 50,000 came to aid the Liao army, at least 20,000 or 30,000 were killed, and the remaining Liao army had been divided into countless groups to flee to the Liao border.
At this moment, these Liao soldiers just wanted to say a word, the Song army was so terrible, they wanted to go home.
The 50,000 people's army was behind, riding war horses and speeding towards Shigu Mountain.
Meng Lei and the five thousand dragon guards were running at the front, and at this time he was only less than sixty miles away from Shigu Mountain.
If it's fast enough, it won't take you two hours to come
To the bottom of the mountain.
The Monray Command came quickly, and in order to hurry up, he did not bother to send scouts to explore the way. This gave the scouts of the Liao army a place to use, and soon the matter of 5,000 Song cavalry reinforcements from the northwest was reported to the ears of Xiao Xiaoyou, the general of the Liao army.
"Intercept, no one must be allowed to get close to the foot of Shigu Mountain."
Xiao Xiaoyou said in a very affirmative tone.
Although there is no news yet, Xiao Xiaoyou can probably guess that the 50,000 reinforcements in the country are afraid that they are already more auspicious.
I have suffered such a big loss, so how can I allow Su Shi, who planned all this, to get out of danger easily.
The Liao army had a total of 80,000 troops in the north, 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.
Now 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry have gone to Shigu Mountain. Last night, Xincheng was lost again, but 20,000 Song troops were captured.
Xincheng is an empty city, there is no need to leave any troops there, Xiao Xiaoyou can send out all the troops in his hands. In this way, as soon as he gave the order, he sent 10,000 cavalry to intercept the Longwu Guard's headquarters that had made a bargain from the Wutai region.
"Also, send another 10,000 infantry to Shigu Mountain, and tell everyone that even at night, they can't rest, when to kill Su Shi and when the army will retreat."
Xiao Xiaoyou gritted his back molars and said viciously.
At the sound of an order, 10,000 Liao cavalry passed through the foot of Shigu Mountain and headed straight for the Wutai area, and an hour later, the two armies met. Look at the book
Seeing that the number of cavalry on the other side was twice as large as his own, Raymond did not choose to fight hard, but asked a flying eagle team with the army to get in touch with Su Shi and ask for instructions on what to do next.
According to Lei Meng's meaning, as long as Su Shi gave an order, he would bring five thousand dragon guards and Liao cavalry to a hard encounter, although the other party's troops were more than his own, but he was still confident that he could fight a bloody way to the foot of Shigu Mountain.
Before setting off from Bianliang City, King Jing specifically told Lei Meng that he must listen to Su Shi's military orders and ensure Su Shi's safety.
Now that he knows that Su Shi is surrounded on the north peak of Shigu Mountain, of course he must do his best to save him, otherwise, His Royal Highness King Jing will not be able to spare him if he goes back.
