Chapter 026: Attacking Yunhai Mountain

Many of the new pawns who had been ordered to change the bow felt that the bow given to them was newer than the one in their own hands, so they turned around and secretly scolded two sentences:

This stupid fool with tens of millions, stupid!

The new soldiers finally set out after gathering their way, and they went to the left along the border, almost parallel to the creek.

The rapid march lasted for more than an hour, and near noon, about fifty miles away from Panlong Fort, there was a place called Yunhaishan, which stopped.

In a dilapidated military tent, more than 100 recruits squatted on the ground, eating bread silently with bread in their hands, and from time to time in a large wooden barrel, using a broken porcelain bowl to get some water to drink a few sips.

Summer was hot and muggy, and I sweated a lot.

Outside the military tent, the whistling sound of large crossbows breaking through the air was heard from time to time.

Occasionally, there was a scream, not knowing that the unlucky ghost had fallen again.

No one told them what was going on here.

But the piercing and screaming of these crossbow arrows is to tell you that this is already a battlefield.

Xu Shichang is quite clever, with a small mouth and sweet.

He learned some information from the mouths of the soldiers who occasionally passed by.

It turned out that the troops of the Yugoslav tribe of the opposite Turkic Khanate, starting in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, suddenly attacked this Yunhai Mountain.

Panyun, Yunhai, and Langya, these three military forts are the three important military towns and border outposts under the jurisdiction of General Ma Yi.

Yunhai Mountain, located between Yunhai Fort and Panlong Fort, is an important military commanding height and lookout.

This Yunhai Mountain is not high, it looks like it is only a hundred zhang high, according to the Linghu slope visual measurement, the main peak is about 300 meters from the ground.

The top of the mountain is flat, and the tall rocks erected on the peaks look like towering into the sky from a distance, hence the name 'Sea of Clouds' mountain.

It is a commanding height in the desert of the grassland, which is surrounded by hundreds of miles.

In ancient times, the enemy situation on the frontier mainly relied on lookout and beacon fire transmission, so Yunhaishan was a strategic location.

Panlong Yunhai and Wolf Tooth both belong to the sub-fort of Mayi City, and the sub-fort forms an inverted triangle construction, which is the trend of horns for each other.

Now, this Yunhai Mountain has been captured by Turkic soldiers, not only has the defense system been broken through, but it is also a great shame!

After Yunhai Mountain was captured, the final Jin army of Yunhai Fortress launched several attacks in an attempt to snatch back this mountain.

They attacked from early morning until evening, for several days, and made no progress except for hundreds of dead and wounded.

Yunhai Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a crossbow position of eight bulls on the mountain, bows and arrows are from top to bottom, the power is huge, even the large trebuchet is also destroyed by a few arrows of the eight bull crossbows.

Guo Rui, the general of Mayi, has just given a death order: he asked Panlong Castle to reinforce quickly and recapture Yunhai Mountain at all costs.

How to fight this kind of mountain battle?

The way of tackling the tough battles organized by the border army of the final Jin Dynasty was much the same.

First, the cannon fodder charges, consuming the enemy's arrows, and if you can rush to the opposite position, it is undesirable.

Behind the cannon fodder, the elite troops will choose the right moment and will follow the charge.

If the cannon fodder can't get closer, it will be withdrawn, repaired for a while and continue to charge.

Basically, in a battle like this, elite soldiers rarely lead the charge.

There is no shortage of garrisons in various parts of northern Xinjiang, and throughout the year, countless groups of prisoners have been dispatched from all over the Central Plains, as well as displaced people from all over the country.

These prisoners, slaves, and outcasts whose lives are like mustards can be regarded as official soldiers, and they can be regarded as going ashore.

At least, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, you can get military merits, get an official and a half-job, maybe your life will take a turn for the better, and the salted fish will turn over.

As for the imperial court, it is an iron camp and a flowing soldier.

How many prisoners, slaves and outcasts died here, no one needs to be responsible, no one cares.

A new pawn is equal to a cannon fodder unit, this is an iron law.

Therefore, in ancient times, if a recruit could survive and become a veteran, he must have been on the battlefield and seen blood, so he can talk about combat effectiveness.

And the official establishment of the old pawn is not the same in management.

At this time, someone finally cares about you, and if you die in battle, your family can get a pension from the imperial court.

If it is a heroic sacrifice, the imperial court will also give a certain honor to glorify the ancestors.

This is called Ci Bu Commanding Soldiers.

Everything is based on the interests of those in power.

How easy is it to start from a temporarily established front-line position at the foot of the mountain and ask to rush to the enemy position located at the top of the mountain?

In Linghupo's view, it is equivalent to everyone washing their necks and letting the enemy cut them.

The lunch of bread and cold water is probably the last meal of my life.

Looking at this group of newcomers who were smiling while eating, and still looking forward to the future, Ling Hupo was sad in his heart.

"Get up, get up, take your weapons and rush up, and kill those Turkic barbarians on the top of the mountain."

"Listen, you are very lucky, there is an order to go to the peak, and when you rush to the top of the mountain, you will turn into a formal garrison, kill a Turkic barbarian, and reward a thousand baht; Kill two Turkic barbarians and be promoted to the rank of chief, and the reward is 2,000 baht; Kill three barbarians, directly promoted to the chief, and reward 5,000 baht! ”

“……”

Diao Fat began to speak.

He seemed to have just had lunch, and his mouth was full with fat flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Looking at the new pawns and cannon fodder in front of him, this guy's eyes bulged, and his mouth crackled and began to roll.

This kind of pre-war agitation method of adding heavy money to official positions made Hu Po read many times in film and television dramas and novels in his previous life.

Some ignorant newcomers, after hearing Diao Fat's words, their originally empty eyes burst into a trace of brilliance.

Into the mother's!

Kill a Turkic barbarian and reward a thousand baht.

That's a lot of money, at least in the castle.

A slave woman in the castle is only ten baht for a rest.

Thousand baht?

There are a hundred slave mothers-in-law who can sleep with Lao Tzu... Hey...

Some people's dreams have begun.

Linghu Po even heard someone "grunting... Grunt..."The sound of swallowing saliva.

I'm afraid that only a very small number of people, including Ling Hupo and Xu Shichang, ignored the fat and raised their heads to take a closer look at the attack route.

The front is only 100 feet high, and if the road to the mountain is full of trees, I feel a little sure.

I'm afraid to rush upward, after passing this mountain forest, there is a bare mountain road above, and there is no shelter.

If this is the case, the charging cannon fodder is completely a living target for the archers of the defending army, especially the crossbow arrows.

……

At the same time, at the back end of Yunhai Mountain.

A well-armed, heavily armed team of twenty people was secretly gathering in the dense forest, discussing seriously around a topographical map.

"Junji, are you sure that we are touching up from the back of the mountain, and the Turkic barbarians on the cliff are not guarded?"

The leader of the speech was a young officer with a stern expression.

His name is Uncle Kim.

The current Panlong Castle is the tun rate of the guard tun.

The Guards Tun, with a total of 120 soldiers, is the most elite unit in the castle, with a unified infantry and cavalry, specializing in escort, assault, interspersed and special attack operations.
