Chapter 040: Recovering the Mountain, Seeing General Guo Rui for the First Time
"Now more than half of the Turkic soldiers on the mountain have been wiped out by us, and there are only more than 100 Turkic soldiers left, as long as we hold the back mountain and seize Yunhai Mountain, our task can still be completed."
Fan Hu said excitedly.
Although the raid team suffered heavy losses, it was worth it if the mission was finally completed, and it could comfort the fallen comrades.
Now the raiders on the arrow stacks are all excited, sweeping away the decadent haze of the past.
And Luo Chengyi, who is in the middle of the mountain, is a battle-hardened expert who is familiar with the art of war.
He understands that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is important to capture fighters.
Seeing the blue-tailed arrows sent by Jin Shubao's raiding team, he was glad that there were still people alive in the raiders, and they successfully held the position in the back mountain.
He immediately ordered another elite tun, with a total of 250 men, to launch a frontal attack from the bottom of the mountain.
Heavy equipment such as stone throwers and eight-ox crossbows were relocated to the halfway point of the mountain, and they were assembled and could be put to use.
At the same time, the second assault team, which was already on standby in the back mountain, was ordered to continue to climb up along the two ropes and carry out a two-sided attack.
As expected, Fantoni organized fifty or sixty Turkic soldiers to carry out a frantic counterattack on the arrow battlement positions in the back mountain.
He knew that a frontal attack was not terrible, that mountain road did not need to be guarded by many people, and what was really terrifying was that there were a steady stream of people climbing up from the back mountain.
Today, guarding the climbing point of the back mountain is this towering rock battlement position.
Van Tony never dreamed that the fortress he had painstakingly built would allow the enemy to sit back and enjoy its success.
Lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
At this time, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
He protected the wound on his arm, and roared with a blue face, causing his men to charge continuously.
Now, on the towering arrow battlement position, there are a total of seven elite soldiers of the Final Jin Frontier Army.
Relying on a strong position and abundant arrows, the Turks successfully repulsed several counterattacks.
They threw away their armor and more than 30 corpses, retreated into the trenches and hid, waiting for heavy weapons to support them.
On the Panlong Mountain position, there are a total of three eight-bull crossbows.
put one in the back mountain arrow stack, Fan Toni put the front position, the remaining two eight-bull crossbows, also pushed over, ready to assist the back mountain.
The funny thing is that the two eight-bull crossbows that were finally moved over did not release a few arrows, but were scattered by the eight-bull crossbows on the rocks of the back mountain, and several condescending arrows.
Oh, it's powerful.
The first time Linghu Po used it, it was also the first time to witness the power of the ancient eight-bull crossbow.
But think about it, this eight-bull crossbow is made of a combination of several large and small wooden gears, three layers of super strong cow tendons, and the arrows are slowly stretched by hand-cranked gears.
The creaking sound of grinding his teeth was unbearable, so that Ling Hupo couldn't help but shiver.
In addition to the three-edged iron arrow head with the large mouth of the bowl, the arrow shaft of the eight-bull crossbow is as thick as a child's small arm.
The large rock archery battlement position in the back mountain is thick and firm, and people and crossbows can be well concealed.
On the contrary, the two eight-bull crossbows on the Turkic side can only be exposed in broad daylight.
The effective range of the Eight Bull Crossbows was 1,500 paces, and the enemy's two Eight Bull Crossbows were only 300 paces away from the arrow stacks in the back mountain.
Since the crossing of Linghu Slope, through today's battle, I have gained a considerable understanding of the combat power of ancient cold weapons for the first time.
The Rifle is like a rifle in a hot/weapon.
And a hand crossbow or mounted crossbow is an assault / gun or light machine gun.
Large heavy bows such as the Eight Bull Crossbow are like heavy machine guns, but their firing speed is too slow, and they can only shoot a single shot.
Giant catapults, more like artillery.
……
Back mountain cliffs.
The twenty raiders of the second raid team have climbed up one after another.
After the personnel were concentrated, under the leadership of He Junji and Fan Hu, they began to counterattack towards the mountain level.
The frontal mountain guards suffered from the enemy on their backs, so what did they have to do to defend the mountain, they scattered as birds and beasts, and fled with their legs.
The frontal attack of the final Jin border army, under the cover of heavy platoon shields, also rushed up.
"Rush..."
"Kill..."
“……”
For a time, on the top of Yunhai Mountain, the sound of shouting and killing, screaming, and the sound of gold and iron fighting was earth-shattering.
Before dark, the surface position of the entire Yunhai Mountain had been fully recovered by the border army of the Final Jin.
The remnants of the Turkic troops, Fantoni and others, have entered the tunnels or tunnels in the mountains, and have resisted stubbornly.
After they entered the cave with great difficulty, they found that Fantoni and a dozen of his relatives had escaped through a secret passage in the cave.
Soon after they ran out, they were met by Turkic soldiers from the Western Alliance.
Linghu Po and they could only give up the pursuit.
At this point, the Yunhaishan position has been fully recovered by the border army of the Final Jin Dynasty, and the sergeants held torches and started to clean up the battlefield and clean up the war gifts.
Jin Shubao and other wounded, who were treated in time by the castle's military doctor, had taken out the arrows, and were resting in the cave due to excessive blood loss.
He Junji and Fan Hu went to place the bodies of the sixteen raiders, as well as their relics.
The sky is already dark, the mountains are full of torches and firelight, and the border army of the final Jin Dynasty has arranged Yunhai Mountain, a new defense force.
Ling Hupo and Xu Shichang can't return to the team now, so they are in the cave, accompanying Jin Shubao and others, but they spend the night for the time being.
They were ready to return to the castle after dawn and return to their new camp.
On this night, everyone got together very happily, talked very speculatively, and laughed constantly.
Everyone did not have the fatigue of a day of fierce fighting, and was completely immersed in the feeling of saving their lives and cutting their necks for the rest of their lives.
……
Early the next morning
The sky was just dawning
From outside the cave came the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Before the sentries could go in and report, there were seven or eight generals and lieutenants of the border army who had finally been promoted to the entrance of the cave.
Among them are the chief officer of Panlong Castle, Luo Chengyi, the head of the department, and Cao Han Mingda.
They surrounded a majestic general with a face like a full moon and a beautiful beard, and walked up to them.
"To congratulate you on the victory of Panlong Castle in the final capture of Yunhai Mountain! This evening at the castle, there will be a special celebration banquet, so you can have a good drink, and you will be happy. ”
The general is about thirty years old, and his voice is loud and full of energy.
Wearing a silver helmet, a pair of silver armor, a palace green robe lining, and a red and black cloak.
His eyes are blazing, and he is not angry and arrogant.
"See General Guo!"
When Jin Shubao and the others heard the sound, they got up on the ground and clasped their fists in a salute.
Ling Hupo and Xu Shichang were worried, and after a little delay, they also bowed down and hugged their fists.
Luo Chengyi and Han Mingda, of course Ling Hupo knows, but the General Guo who came to the cave in front of him should be Xiuniang's sixth uncle, named Guo Rui.
"Okay, you're all injured, whatever, which of you is Linghu Po?"
Guo Rui's sharp eyes swept everyone in front of him.
