Chapter 271: World War II
The southern slope of Kazegawa Valley is low, and you have to walk up a long gentle slope to reach the top of the southern slope.
Although your side is on the slope, the enemy is on the slope.
The Northwest Army still has an absolute geographical advantage, but compared with the other three cliffs, the Northwest Army's geographical advantage has been greatly reduced.
After all, the mountains south of the southern slope stretch for hundreds of miles, and the east and west sides of the south slope and the north side are all cliffs, and it is difficult to climb.
What's more, there is also the Northwest Army guarding it, and it is difficult for the enemy army to climb up through these three sides.
The only possibility is to attack from the gentle slope to the south, which is the only breakthrough.
The Northwest Army had only 3,000 men and could not hold it.
It was easy for the Western Chu army to rush up the southern mountain range, and next, the Western Chu army was bound to attack along this gentle slope to the southern slope.
This battle was not easy for the Northwest Army.
In the end, it was under the command of Chu Yujia that the Northwest Army built stone walls at the edge of the cliff to fortify.
Qi Zhong and Zuo Jinkai commanded the soldiers, took local materials, carried the stones from the top of the mountain to the south side, and built a stone wall.
The stone wall built by the Northwest Army has a lot of gaps in the middle, which can allow the Northwest soldiers to hide behind the stone wall and shoot arrows outward.
Every soldier in the Northwest Army has undergone multiple trainings such as archery training, riding training, and even combat training.
There was nothing to say during the day, and at night, the Western Chu army quietly assembled in the mountains, preparing to launch a night attack.
The direction of the Western Chu army's attack was not the south side predicted by Chu Yujia, and it was still attacked by the cliffs on the east side.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, a large number of Western Chu troops had been assembled in the mountains, and people did not light torches, and the scene was dim and irrelevant, and there was no sound, and the atmosphere of slaughter was pervasive.
At the instruction of the commander-in-chief of the Western Chu Army, the soldiers began to climb the mountain wall in batches.
During the day, they have fixed a lot of ropes on the mountain wall, and now it is easy to climb, and people use the help of ropes to silently climb upwards with all their might.
When the people reached the halfway point of the mountain, they stopped and looked at the top of the mountain.
The only advantage of attacking from above at night is that you can see more clearly when you look up from below.
And looking up above, the fog is heavy and unreal.
The Western Chu soldiers who stopped halfway up the mountain could faintly see the black spots poking out on the top of the mountain.
They also knew very well in their hearts that those must be the soldiers of the Northwest Army who were putting up a sentry.
A few skilled archers took off their light bows and climbed cautiously upwards for a while, feeling that the other was within their range and that they were sure they would be able to shoot them, and they stopped.
A few people slowly pulled the bowstring of the light crossbow apart little by little, trying not to make a sound, and then aimed their sharp edges at the black dots poking out on the top of the mountain, and they went to the room.
Whoosh ......
After a series of soft sounds, I saw more than a dozen arrows flying out.
Not a single bolt missed, and all of them were nailed to the heads that poked out of the top of the mountain.
They didn't hear any screams, and the sentries screamed as if they had been killed on the spot.
Seeing this, the generals of the Western Chu Army were overjoyed, waved their hands to the surrounding subordinates, and signaled everyone to hurry up and climb up.
The night attack of the Western Chu Army this time really had a miraculous effect, and it did not alarm the Northwest Army on the top of the mountain at all.
The Western Chu army did not encounter any resistance at all, and climbed to the top of the mountain unimpeded.
The Western Chu Army did not dare to light the torches for fear of alarming the Northwest Army, and the Northwest Army on the top of the mountain did not light a fire or make a bonfire, and the entire mountain was pitch black.
There were more and more Western Chu troops on the top of the mountain, and they became more and more dense, and gradually, the Western Chu army exceeded 1,000 people.
Just when the Western Chu Army was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Northwest Army on the top of the mountain, suddenly, countless torches lit up on the top of the mountain, and the originally dark night was illuminated as bright as day.
All the Western Chu soldiers were shocked, and people subconsciously looked ahead.
I saw the cold light shining in front of me, all of them carrying horizontal knives of the Northwest soldiers.
"It's a long night, and it's really boring without your company......
As he spoke, a guy in a white robe who had not changed into armor slowly walked out of the crowd.
In the Northwest Army, there is only one general surnamed Chu who can wear it like this, and who dares to wear it like this.
"You really didn't disappoint me, you really came. ”
He looked at the Xichu soldiers in front of him with a smile, and said, "You can let me win a good meal of wine and food, in order to express my gratitude to you, I will definitely send you back to Xichu's hometown as soon as possible......
At this time, the generals of the Western Chu Army who took the lead finally realized that they had a plan.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at the guy in front of him, and said, "Who are you?"
"Ye Guo ......"
"Chu Yujia ......"
While speaking, Chu Yujia's eyes also turned cold, and then he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted, "Kill!"
"Kill ......"
As he gave the order, the Northwest Army present shouted in unison.
Then, the sergeant of the Northwest Army, carrying a shining horizontal knife like a tiger descending from the mountain, howled a hungry wolf, and pounced on the other side.
The Northwest Army, or all the Ye armies, is not afraid of close combat and melee.
The individual combat ability of the Ye army, even if you look at the entire Mingwu Empire, is one of the top three.
These Western Chu soldiers themselves climbed up from under the cliff, and their physical strength was huge, while the Northwest soldiers above were waiting for work, and the moment the two sides came into contact, the soldiers in front of the Western Chu army fell row after row, and even the entire army formation retreated four or five steps back.
You must know that behind them is a cliff, and many of the soldiers standing behind them did not fight the enemy, but were squeezed by their companions in front of them and fell off the cliff.
The general of the Western Chu Army who took the lead held a long sword and fought against Zuo Jinkai.
Of course, the general officer also has some skills, but Zuo Jinkai has amazing strength in carrying a spear, and every time he smashes it, he can smash the general back several steps backwards.
It was also when he was fighting hard with Zuo Jinkai that he suddenly heard that the evil wind on his side was not good, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a long sword flying towards him, and he instinctively reacted and pulled out a sword.
When the ......
In an instant, sparks splashed everywhere.
At the same time, a muffled pop was heard in the ear chakra.
When I went to see the general, there was a hole the size of a fist in my chest, and red blood was gushing out.
The general turned his head to see the white-robed man standing not far away, with three swords hovering above his head.
Pity this general of the Western Chu Army, before he had time to show his skills in a hurry, he was killed by Chu Yujia with a flying sword and in the chaos of the army.
But Zuo Jinkai was quite dissatisfied with this, looked back at Chu Yujia, and said, "General, I can kill his ......"
"You can't kill it. ”
Chu Yujia took a deep breath and said, "Fight quickly." ”
"Yes!"
What else can Zuo Jinkai say about this?
can only vent all the displeasure on the Western Chu army......
Of the more than 1,000 Western Chu troops who climbed to the top of the mountain, only a few hundred people really died from the blades of the Northwest Army, and most of them were pushed off the cliff by their own brothers and fell to death at the bottom of the mountain.
The second battle also ended with the Western Chu army being pushed off the cliff......
