Chapter 2280 The ghost sees sorrow
The Wu army occupied a dangerous terrain and blocked all passages. Every time the Wei army advanced, they had to welcome the dense rain of arrows from the Wu army, so the advancement was very slow and at a huge cost.
The Wei army rarely fought such a frustrating battle. In the past, the Wei army's advancement was always regarded as flowing. No matter how strong the fortress or what kind of dangerous position it was, it would be dismantled in the face of the fierce offensive of the Wei army.
But this time, the Wei army encountered unprecedented difficulties. It was not that the Wu army was really strong, nor that the position of Jilong Mountain was so solid. It was because under this complex terrain, the Wei army was really exhausted, with great physical and energy loss, and the subsequent attacks were often unsustainable.
In ordinary wars, we pay attention to the right time, place, and people. At the best time, if all three things are occupied, the battle will definitely be very smooth. In fact, it is a little inferior. At least one of the three things can be occupied, and there is still a fight.
But now it seems that the Wei army has nothing to do with the three things this time, the weather is not taken advantage of, the place is not taken advantage of, let alone the harmony of people. This place where birds do not shit, even personal figures cannot be seen. What are the differences between people?
In fact, what the Wei army needs most now is rest and recuperation. It has been extremely exhausted when traveling in this jungle for many days. However, due to the shortage of food and grass, they had to forcefully launch an attack after a little rest. When the Wei soldiers' physical strength and energy cannot recover, it is naturally difficult to make good progress in promoting the attack.
But Wen Qin was really worried. In this situation where logistics supply is difficult, resting in place can only aggravate the difficulty.
It seems that it is not a good idea to let tired soldiers attack the enemy's solid defense line, but is there any other way in Wenqin?
If you can't rest or attack, you can't end up with one way to retreat. But if you retreat before the battle, it is never the combat style of the Wei army. If Wen Qin really does this, will he be laughed at by his brothers?
Therefore, even though he knew that the situation was not good and there were many difficulties, Wen Qin continued to attack. The main reason was that Wen Qin did not believe in that evil.
The combat effectiveness of the Wei army is no longer necessary to prove anything. They swept the world, cleansed the world, and were famous all over the world. If they can't even take down a small Jilong Mountain now, wouldn't it be embarrassing to throw it home?
Of course Wen Qin couldn't swallow this tone, so even if the current situation was really unfavorable to the Wei army, Wen Qin still hoped to seize Jilong Mountain through the Wei army's tenacious fighting spirit.
The Wei army had not experienced such a difficult situation before. Thinking about how powerful the Bingzhou Army was when it was first established, the Sima Army was so powerful that they launched an attack on Bingzhou with the momentum of Mount Tai. Everyone thought that Bingzhou could not resist this time and would undoubtedly be defeated.
However, under Cao Liang's command, the Bingzhou army showed the spirit of a brave man who met in a narrow road, defeating the enemy with the weak and fighting against the masses with the few, and finally defeating Sima Yi, thus opening the prelude to a large counterattack. Until the Sima family was completely destroyed, he never gave the Sima family a chance to turn the tables.
The strong winds and waves have come. Could it be that the Wei army really capsized in the small gutter this time?
Of course, Wen Qin would not agree, so he launched an attack at all costs, vowing to take down Jilong Mountain and clear the reputation of the Wei army.
But this battle in Jilong Mountain is indeed not easy to fight. Near the foot of Jilong Mountain, there is a deep ravine called Guijianchou. Although it is only a dozen feet wide, it is not deep. I threw down a stone and heard a gurgle, and even a splash of water did not splash.
This shows the depth of the stream water. Although the stream water is not wide, it is not bottom-out. If the Wei army uses the flat filling method, it will not work at all.
If the forced crossing method is adopted, both sides of the shore will have straight cliffs, and there will be at least several meters away from the shore to the water surface. Even if the Wei army can cross it, how to land is a huge problem.
What's more, the Wu army also ambushed many archers on the other side. Once the Wei army tried to cross the stream, they would shoot arrows with all their might to block the Wei army's crossing the stream.
This ghost is so sad that his name is really appropriate. He is so worried that he sees it, let alone human beings?
At first, Wen Qin was worried about it when he arrived by the ravine. It was easy to get into the water, but it was difficult to get up. He wanted to climb a cliff several meters high on the other side, and there were a large number of Wu troops stationed on it, which was almost impossible to complete.
However, Wen Qin soon discovered the fighter jet. Since the width of Guichoujian was only more than ten meters, the Wu army on the other side was completely within the range of the Wei army's crossbows. Wen Qin immediately transferred a thousand archers and a thousand crossbow soldiers to suppress the attack on the other side.
The Wu army could not defeat the crazy arrow rain of the Wei army, and could only huddle behind the bunker or stone, and never dared to show its head again.
Then Wen Qin selected hundreds of Wei soldiers who were good at water and swam across the stream with flying claws and ropes. They first hung down from the east bank, then swam through the deep claws, then threw the flying claws upwards, hooked to the opposite shore, and then climbed up along the ropes.
This task is as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary soldiers, but there are also many such skilled players among the Wei army. It is not difficult to draw hundreds of experts who are good at swimming and rock climbing.
In fact, whether it is swimming or rock climbing, it is not difficult for these skilled masters. After all, the river they swam across before is wider than this, and the cliffs they climbed are also higher than this.
The only unfavorable factor is that the other side is the defense of the Wu army. Their archers are not decorations. Once they take action, no matter whether it is the Wei army swimming or the Wei army climbing, they will become living targets and almost cannot escape the Wu army's archery attack.
Due to the limitations of terrain and conditions, it was difficult for the Wei army to use shields when swimming and climbing cliffs. Without the protection of shields, it would be difficult for them to succeed as if they had reached the sky.
However, the Wei army now has two thousand crossbowmen. They use the method of continuous arrow rain to suppress the Wu army's archers and breathlessness, which provides a great opportunity for the Wei soldiers who cross the river.
They hung along the rope to the surface of the stream, then jumped into the stream, and swam quickly. A distance of more than ten meters, they swam very easily. They soon arrived at the opposite shore, threw out their flying claws, and hooked the edge of the cliff on the other side. They were as quick as monkeys, and without any external interference, they successfully climbed up the cliff on the other side.
