Chapter 029: Cliff Climbing Raid
After the two of them slipped out a hundred and ten steps, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they didn't hear the overseers behind them shoot arrows at them or shout.
Leaning against a tree, they lay down and continued to observe.
At this time, a dozen worn shields were brought from the military tent.
Rectangular, tree teng wooden frame, the front is stretched with raw cowhide, inlaid with a large copper tiger and leopard head, hideous face.
This kind of shield, the shield is eight feet high, four feet wide, and up to one and a half feet thick, and can be stacked and arranged, so that soldiers can cover themselves.
"It's a platoon shield." Xu Shichang has seen it, and he told Linghupo.
"Rush..."
"Rush up and kill them..."
The new cannon fodder was forced by the Warlords, holding shields in front of them, drawing bows and arrows in the back, and slowly squirming forward with shouts.
Feathered arrows or ordinary hand crossbows, when they encounter this kind of platoon shield, cannot break through.
However, if it is a strong crossbow such as an eight-ox crossbow or a car crossbow, or a spear, it can easily pierce the shield and hurt the soldiers behind the shield.
When they saw that crossbow arrows or spears were placed on them, the new soldiers retreated, and the warlords drove them away, and then wriggled forward.
In this way, it seems that the chief officers behind the warring team have also acquiesced in this tactic.
Feint attack, it is to wave the flag and shout, pretending to fight hotly.
Linghupo was surprised to find that the defenders on the top of the mountain were not elite, and they could get a glimpse of the leopard from the tactics and archery.
In the mother's house, the rookies pecked each other.
About an hour had passed since the two sides fought, and there were only seven or eight casualties among the new soldiers under the mountain.
In addition to killing thirteen rookie cannon fodder for the first time, the Overseer team took down three fugitives themselves.
The attacker currently has 245 losses, and there are still more than 80 new pawns, so they can continue to play this game of feints.
The enemies on the mountain are not stupid, they seem to have acquiesced to this kind of game, and have no intention of destroying these rookies who have no combat effectiveness.
The trick that is discovered is undoubtedly a game.
In such a strategic location, both sides use rookies to fight head-on, and there must be calculations behind them.
The attack and defense of strategic points will inevitably be a contest between the elite soldiers and strong generals of the two sides, and a confrontation between wisdom and bravery.
Although Ling Hupo was not a soldier in his previous life, he has a lot of information in modern society and is well-informed, and with his ideology and knowledge, he can act as a military strategist at present.
……
At the same time, on the edge of a cliff on the back side of Yunhai Mountain, twenty commandos had appeared at the edge of the woods.
Jin Shubao covered the sun with his hand and observed the top of the mountain for a while, and said coldly to He Junji:
"Is it true that the enemy is not on the edge of the cliff, arranging observation posts or guard posts?"
With his instincts and years of combat experience, he felt that the enemy seemed a little too stupid this time.
"Tun rate, the front has already been fought, it sounds like a lot of movement, it's quite intense, it should have attracted a lot of defenders, I really hope they can hold on a little longer!"
He Junji seemed to be very unimpressed by the repetition of Jin Shubao, and he was a little resistant.
This is distrust of subordinates, indecision.
After checking his gear, he was the first to walk out of the woods with a grunt, silently protesting.
He was followed by the monkey Fan Hu.
Fan Hu carried two bundles of thick hemp rope for mountaineering, one end of the rope was connected to iron claws, and two sharp short blades were inserted at the edges of both sides of his thighs.
After approaching the cliff, he glanced up at He Junji, indicating that he was about to start climbing, and the other party was on guard.
After receiving a nod of confirmation from his companion, Fan Hu drew his short blade, plunged it into the crevice of the rock, and began to climb upward.
It looks like an almost vertical cliff, and Fan Hu is like a real mountain monkey, walking on the ground, swishing and constantly climbing upward.
Orion was born and is a mountain bandit, climbing and soaring, of course, he is extraordinary.
He crawled very fast, and he had already climbed more than half of the time, and he would soon reach the top.
"Alright, let's get ready!" Seeing that there was no movement on the top of the mountain, Uncle Jin greeted the team members.
They are always on the lookout around.
When it was determined that Fan Hu had successfully reached the top, the surrounding team members who were in charge of guarding immediately gathered and formed a small circle with Jin Shubao as the center.
Fan Hu, who had already climbed to the top of the mountain, didn't care about resting, and fixed the two bundles of rope hanging on his body one end to a big rock, and the other end directly fell off the cliff!
"Up..."
Although there are no security measures, they are all elite warriors in the army, with martial arts and strong arm strength.
Climbing at this height may seem dangerous, but as long as you are careful not to make a sound, it will not attract enemy attacks.
With a rope, it's easier to climb.
Two thick hemp ropes, one for lifting bows and arrows, weapons and armor, and one for climbing people.
In addition to the armor, ring sword, crossbow, and dagger of each person, the raiding team brought the most on the mountain was a quiver full of arrows.
Measured at one hundred and fifty per person, there are four quivers in total.
The whole raid team had eighty quivers, and half of them had crossbow arrows.
Each set of armor weighs thirty-eight pounds per person, as well as helmets, crossbows, etc., all of which need to be lifted separately.
Jin Shubao was the first to go on.
He pulled the rope hard, put the gold shovel on his back, and climbed up the cliff quickly.
In an hour or so, twenty people climbed to the top in turn, and their weapons and equipment were hoisted up the mountain.
Everyone began to dress in armor, with an iron bow or crossbow in hand, a ring-headed sword at their waist, and a quiver on their backs, and everything was ready.
"Huh? There are two people down there! ”
He Junji, who was behind the palace, suddenly found two figures moving in the woods below.
Jin Shubao's face changed, and he immediately looked over.
He couldn't see their faces clearly, but he could see their tattered Junjin uniforms.
Jin Shubao breathed a long sigh of relief, pursed his lips and said:
"It's not a Turk, it's probably a rookie recruit with a frontal feint, and he was scared and became a deserter!"
"Do you want to kill them?" He Junji picked up the riding crossbow in his hand.
"Crazy, what are you doing with them? Our mission is to clear the eight-bull crossbow position at the top of the mountain, and the signal will be given to let the large army charge down the mountain! ”
After Jin Shubao finished speaking, everyone checked the weapons and equipment for the last time and asked for mutual inspection.
After confirming that there were no problems, the raid team began to slowly search and advance with the offensive gesture issued by Jin Shubao.
Although they are full of confidence in the target task this time, the enemy on the mountain is several times more than them.
If their whereabouts are discovered early, the defenders rush up and the ants bite the elephant to death, which is a common occurrence.
Linghu Slope, who was slowly looking for a breakthrough at the edge of the jungle, had already circled to the back mountain at this time.
Suddenly, with the keen observation of a hunter, Linghupo found two ropes hanging from the cliff face, vertically from the back of the mountain, all the way to the foot of the mountain.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
As expected, the border army of the Final Jin Dynasty sent a surprise team, quietly climbed the cliff, and attacked the top of the mountain.
