Chapter 309: The Great War of Confrontation
When General Shouguan heard that he was going to hit Ziwu this time, he jumped for joy. Then he asked: "Childe, you let all the soldiers guarding the pass go to rest and prepare for the expedition, but how to guard this pass." Childe is afraid that we will not be able to fight after guarding the pass, you can rest assured, we can hold on to the final victory. ”
Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's just that there are many masters among the opponents who came this time." I can't bear to let everyone come and fight the masters, so our casualties will be very large. He shook his head as he spoke, signaling that he could not.
At this time, the general guarding the pass lost his temper and said to Xiao Jiu: "Childe, this time we have to fight with them no matter what." As Childe said, even if they are masters, we are not muddy, and I want to try what their masters are like. Childe, you can even let us fight. ”
Xiao Jiu thought about it for a while, thinking that this would also be good for the troops, and that if it was fought well, it could improve the combat morale of the entire army and cultivate the entire atmosphere of not fearing strong enemies. He said to the general, "I agree with you to fight a battle." But you must be fully prepared, and there must be no situation where you will fight to the death with your opponent, and in that case, I will remove you immediately. To fight a war, we must rely on our brains, we must be flexible and flexible, we must give full play to our own advantages to destroy our opponents, and we must never fight to the death with our opponents. ”
When the general heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and then hurried to report the good news to the troops. In order to fight this battle well, he convened a meeting of all the generals to discuss, and there were only two purposes. The first is how to deal with the opponent's army and masters, and the second is how to ensure that there are no casualties to kill the opponent. When talking about Childe's method of using bows and arrows to deal with masters, everyone said yes one after another, and carefully studied the method of wave attack proposed by Childe, and formulated a strict attack order. When it comes to how to eliminate the opponent, everyone has thought of a lot of methods, and it has become a collection of unsightly methods, and finally everyone has summed it up. Each of them returns to the unit under their jurisdiction for performance training. In order not to embarrass themselves in front of the commander-in-chief, everyone held back their strength. Early in the morning of the third day, the general and all the generals who were guarding the pass came to the high wall of the pass and looked in the direction of the opponent in the distance. Because Childe agreed with them that no matter whether the opponent came or not after today, they would temporarily hand over the defense of the pass to the 100,000 troops who entered the pass yesterday early tomorrow morning.
When the generals waited until the sun was on the sun and there was no movement, everyone began to complain that the opponent did not give them a chance to show their faces. At this moment, they saw two cavalrymen running in the distance, and as soon as they saw the cavalry running, they knew that this was the soldier who had heard the news and came back to report the news. I saw the cavalry coming under the pass. Seeing that all the generals at the pass were gathered at the pass and looking at themselves, he shouted loudly under the pass: "The opponent's army has begun to assemble the whole team, and the vanguard has already moved towards us." After speaking, he looked at the thunderous generals at the pass inexplicably, I don't know what happened to these generals, and when they heard that the other party was about to attack, their own generals were still so happy. When they came to the pass, they saw these generals running towards their troops like galloping, shouting as if they had won a great battle. Immediately, all the troops rushed to the high wall of the pass very quickly, and only then did they know what was going on. He also hurried to his troops. The opposing forces had only just emerged on the distant horizon, and the troops at the pass had already taken their positions. In order to ensure that the defending troops were not attacked by the masters, Xiao Jiu sent another thousand soldiers of the super force to disperse among the defending troops. to protect the soldiers defending the pass. The soldiers at the pass were very skilled in placing all kinds of equipment to defend the pass, including the stone throwing machine that was equipped later. At this time, the stone throwing machine has been modified many times, the range is longer, and the operation is simpler. At this time, the stones used have become the whole stone for siege and the scattered stones for defense against the infantry, and the volume is much smaller than the original, and it can be disassembled. At this time, there were many soldiers. Carrying countless cauldrons, they were propped up on the high wall of the pass, ready to smelt animal oil. This is the best thing to use in defense since Xiao Jiu used it, and it has been reserved at various passes.
Xiao Jiu looked at the busy soldiers in front of him, looking at the method of setting fire to the beast oil that he had used at the beginning, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, if it was him, as long as he heard about this matter, he would definitely take corresponding protection, and he would also make up his mind, depending on the situation, at the right time, and then remind and build a new one. Looking at the preparation of the soldiers, with Xiao Jiu's very critical eye, they all thought that the preparations were very in place.
By the time the other party's front army arrived in front of the pass, the time was close to noon, and when the follow-up army began to set up formation, it was already past noon, Xiao Jiu ordered to move lunch to the pass, so that under the gaze of the other soldier, who was already hungry in his stomach at this time, the soldiers on the pass began to eat. This made the opposing soldiers hungry, and their morale dropped unconsciously. When everything was ready, it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, and the soldiers were dressed in heavy armor and already soaked in sweat in the scorching sun. When each was dry and upset, the commander gave the order to attack, and directed the front army to begin attacking the pass.
Xiao Jiu took a closer look, and saw that there were no masters in the front army, so he watched silently as the defending troops at the pass under the command of the commander, after the rear tail of the front army entered the firing range of the equipment, began to shoot, attacking the back of the attacking front army, so that a gap was formed between the front army and the army that had not yet moved. Xiao Jiu nodded secretly, which showed that the commander was an experienced general who had been through the battlefield. The commander of the other party was obviously stunned by this strange method of the other party, and did not give any orders for a long time. By the time they came to their senses and let the army march on, the front army had already reached the bottom of the pass. Under the protection of the shield to rush to the high wall of the pass, the commander of the former army was also a little stunned, this is very different from the previous battlefield, according to the practice of the bow and arrow should not be seen, the shield hand still holds the shield high, forming a strict protective formation, but under the high wall, the shield hand is also in accordance with the custom, the shield hand also according to the custom, the protection frame of the soldiers who climb the city ladder, and then the shield hand begins to climb the city. The soldiers at the pass turned the huge spoon with a stand on the side of the wall, and the two pushed the handle to turn the long spoon out of the high wall, so that the big spoon could stretch far away, and poured the high-temperature animal oil on the attacking soldiers who were crowded away from the high wall, and the screams under the high wall suddenly became a loud cry, and when the soldiers under the wall panicked, the commander waved his hand, and the soldiers carried large stones and large logs coated with animal oil and threw them down the high wall of the pass. There was another terrible howl from under the high wall, and this terrible howl was heard far away, so that the pace of the following army could not help but slow down, and when the army was halfway into the range of the equipment, the commander ordered the prepared torches to be thrown down the high wall and then ordered the equipment to start attacking. As the fire burned under the high wall of the pass, the army preparing to attack did not know what to do, and as they advanced, they would walk into the burning fire by themselves, and had to stop not far from the fire. This will be a pain for the soldiers in the middle. Like a torrential rain, stones poured down on the top of his head, and in the blink of an eye, a vacant space was smashed in the middle of the army where no one was standing, and in this vacant place, lying full of downed soldiers, some of whom had burst their brains and had sacrificed their lives for the country, and some of whom were smashed with blood flowing, fell to the ground and screamed miserably. What made the opposing commander angry was that as soon as he paused, he had just seen the miserable situation of the middle army, and the other party adjusted the launch angle again, and then there was another pouring in the rear army in the middle section. The commander couldn't bear to wave his hand to the people in the audience, and then out of the crowd standing under the stage, more than a dozen people dressed in samurai costumes walked out, with a face full of arrogance and contempt, and walked towards the pass.
As soon as these moved, Xiao Jiu immediately said to the commander: "The general has already beaten them, and now he has sent a master out." They held their own identities and wore samurai costumes, which were well recognized in the army. He waved his hand as he spoke.
The soldiers of the super force who were standing scattered saw Gongzi waving his hand, and then more than a hundred people came out, came to the edge of the high wall in stealth shape, held bows and arrows in their hands, and looked down. The men were moving very fast, and in a moment they had already crossed the empty space smashed by the catapult and no one was standing. The commander on the high wall had already arranged the archers in place by this time, and when these men reached the middle of the first half of the army, which had been separated by his own stones, the commander waved his big hand, and the archers in a formation began to shoot at the large army that stopped there in a continuous wave of arrows. At this time, the army that stopped there, because it had never seen a bow and arrow shot at the pass, so it relaxed its guard against bows and arrows, and at this time, under this fierce bow and arrow attack, the entire army that stopped there became a standing living handle. In the entire crowd that continued to overturn, the master who was shining with blue light all over his body, and used his big sword to quickly dial the continuous rain of arrows, which was very eye-catching. At this time, Xiao Jiu could see that these Martial Emperor-level characters, although they had a high protective ability, they were still afraid of the damage of this sharp arrow. Several of them had been shot by sharp arrows, and although there was no fatal injury, it also affected the actions of these people, especially the master who was injured in the two arms, and the speed of the arrow rain was significantly slower. In a short time, the two men were shot into hedgehogs by sharp arrows in their own screams, and fell to the ground and died. The shouts of these two masters obviously stimulated the surrounding masters, and they suddenly slowed down the speed of their progress and accelerated the speed of the arrow rain, and in this way, several masters were injured by sharp arrows, although they were only injured in their limbs, but they also affected their own actions. At this time, Xiao Jiu made a gesture to the super soldiers who were hiding their figures, and with Xiao Jiu's gestures, these soldiers shot arrows with bows, and these sharp arrows shot out can be called meteors catching the moon, with a whistling sound, in a blink of an eye, they have arrived in front of these masters, more than ten soldiers shoot a master, and the entire high wall suddenly whistles constantly. When a master used a big sword to open the oncoming sharp arrows, he was shocked back by the huge force on the arrows, and the big sword then slowed down, just this slow, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, but he was powerless, he only felt a chill all over his body, and his waving arm suddenly became weak, and when he looked down, he saw that more than a dozen sharp arrows had been pierced into his body, and he understood that this was the work of the master hidden in the pass, and pointed to the pass and said: "You." And his eyes were black, and he fell. (To be continued......)
