Chapter 2133 storm
On the top of Guiniupo, Sima Lun looked calm. The Wei army launched a full-scale attack at this time, which was not beyond Sima Lun's expectations. The Wei army swept the world and was used to winning battles. Occasional setbacks would inevitably make their attack even more crazy. It was completely reasonable to have all the outbreak this time.
Therefore, Sima Lun was prepared for the attack of the Wei army, but he was also confident in his own defense. The Wei army's troops attacked the Wei army this time, which was 30,000, which was roughly the same as Sima Lun's troops.
The advantages of the Wei army lie in cavalry and catapults, but when they arrived at the 未ting, their advantages were gone. However, the Shu army could use the dangerous terrain of Guiniupo to block the Wei army. In this way, the strength of both sides would decrease and increase, and Sima Lun had no reason to be afraid of the Wei army.
In the first round of the battle, the Wei army attempted to use the heavy fog to launch an attack. Sima Lun made a coincidence that he defeated the Wei army in one fell swoop.
Although this battle was limited to killing enemies, its important significance was not this, but gave the Shu army confidence to win. The predecessor of this army, whether it was the Sima army, the Wu army or the Shu army, was completely at a disadvantage in the battle with the Wei army. The result of repeated defeats made the Shu army's psychological shadow quite large and morale fell to freezing point.
This time, the Shu army successfully repelled the Wei army's attack in the fog battle, which was of great benefit to boosting the morale of the army. It cheered up countless Shu soldiers from fear and regained their confidence in defeating the Wei army, and made them understand that as long as the method was right, the Wei army was not invincible.
At this moment, the Wei army attacked again, and the soldiers of the Shu army were no longer as panic and fear as before. On the contrary, they seemed full of confidence, high fighting spirit, and even showed quite excitedness.
This is exactly the effect of yesterday's victory, which is more than Sima Lun's motivation and encouragement. When these Shu troops realize that the Wei army is not invincible, the fighting spirit hidden in their hearts will be stimulated.
The battle between the two sides began soon. The assault missions were basically heavy infantry, wearing thick armor, holding huge square wooden shields, holding ring-headed swords, fully armed.
Although heavy infantry is affected by the weight of equipment and has a little different agility, their defense ability is the strongest. Generally, crossbows and bows and arrows have few chances to hurt them. Therefore, even though the Wei army's advancement speed is not fast, their steps are extremely calm and firm.
Archers and crossbow soldiers were lined up behind the sword and shield soldiers. The defensive power of this kind of fragile army is naturally the worst. However, today they are only responsible for cover tasks. There are heavy infantry soldiers in front of them, so they don’t have to worry too much about defense. As long as the sword and shield soldiers provide cover firepower at critical ranges.
These arrows are also a kind of suppression of the Shu army. Even if the Wei army has sufficient defense, they cannot attack unscrupulously. Especially when the Shu army defends, they can use more than just bows and arrows. On this slope terrain, they can also use rolling wood and rocks, as well as some other defensive weapons. The purpose of archers and crossbow soldiers to suppress the use of these weapons by the Shu army.
However, this kind of battle to overcome difficulties has always been the hardest to fight, especially when attacking the back. The biggest difficulty is not how powerful the enemy is, but how hard it is to climb the steep mountain, and it is indeed a heavy burden for the overweight Wei soldiers.
At the beginning, the Shu army first used bows and arrows to attack, trying to block the Wei army's progress, but the shields and armor of these sword and shield soldiers played a great protective role. Even if the Shu army archers used their strength to penetrate the thick shield, it would be difficult for them to penetrate.
A shield can almost protect more than 70% of the soldiers' bodies, and the other 30% of the exposed bodies also have thick armor. Although the armor's protection cannot be 100% safe, if the enemy archers want to break through, they must at least shoot at the weak parts of the armor. However, at this time, the two sides are far apart. The attack method adopted by the Shu army archers is also diffuse, pursuing coverage rather than accuracy, so it is really difficult to do if they want the key points of the Wei soldiers.
Braving the rain of arrows, the Wei army's attack group still remained at the same speed and was moving forward steadily. Sima Lun saw that simply using bows and arrows could not effectively stop the Wei army's attack, so he had to take other measures.
Sima Lun ordered the archers not to stop shooting, but instead placed the target of the attack on the enemy's archers. The strong defense of the Wei army's vanguards does not mean that all troops are impeccable. If the Wei army's crossbowmen want to reach the attack position, they must enter the range of the Shu army. In this way, the Shu army is condescending, and it is somewhat advantageous.
Simalun wanted to take advantage of this advantage to suppress the Wei army's archers so that the Shu army would not be disturbed when using other heavy defensive weapons.
When Ning Sui was in the defense of the 文 Pavilion, he had already prepared a lot of wood and stones. There might not be anything else on the 文 Pavilion Mountain, but the two things of wood and stone are inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Although Ning Sui didn't have many soldiers, it was long enough. In a month, he cut down some wood and plucked stones every day. After so long, it was enough to pile up into several hills.
So after Simalun took over the defense of the Tingting, he didn't have to worry about not enough rolling wood and rocks. These things are definitely rich.
Rolling wood can be installed in front of the position and tied with a rope. When the enemy approaches, the defenders only need to cut off the ropes. Those rolling wood can roll down the hillside. The destructive power of a rolling wood that is thick and thin is quite amazing. No matter how thick the enemy's shield or armor is, it is useless in front of the rolling wood. When the huge rolling wood rolls down, it has the power of a thousand stones. It will be pulled and destroyed, and it will die when it is rubbed, and it will die when it is rubbed, and rarely survive.
Often a rolling wood rolls from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and the blood stains on it can dye the rolling wood red.
However, it is difficult to place the rolling wood. At least the combined efforts of multiple people are required to tie it to the front of the position. It doesn’t matter normally, but during battles, the enemy’s archers are not vegetarians. If the Shu army wants to use rolling wood, the Wei army will definitely destroy the camera, so suppressing the Wei army’s archers is the key to using rolling wood.
Of course, this kind of killer weapon is the best use when the Wei army approaches, and Sima Lun is not in a hurry to use it. He is waiting for the moment when the Wei army approaches.
