Chapter 909
Sun Li accepted Sima Shi's suggestion and decided to find a breakthrough from Xishan. Of course, this attack could no longer use the blind style of playing like a swarm. He had to organize a strong suicide squad with assault ability to attack, so that there was hope to open a gap.
However, first of all, we have to resist the attack of the Bingzhou army behind us, which means that some people will act as cannon fodder. Now the Sima army has suffered heavy casualties, and the 30,000 army is only about 20,000 left. Moreover, they are compressed within less than a mile at the foot of the Western Mountains, with people crowded and shoulder to shoulder, and there is almost no room for movement between them. The arrows fired by the Bingzhou army do not need to be aimed at. As long as they shoot at the Sima army crowd, they will not be disappointed.
The number of cannon fodder is that soldiers on the edge of the team are the first to be attacked by the Bingzhou Army, and casualties are inevitable, but this can also delay the attack of the Bingzhou Army.
Fortunately, the current offensive methods of the Bingzhou Army are still mainly long-range shooting, and they did not suppress all the melee infantry, which left a certain amount of room for Sun Li to deploy tactics.
The choice of suicide squads is much more harsh. Those who are not physically fit and have weak fighting will are not among the choices. Anyone who is selected is elite soldiers and combat warriors.
Although the members of these suicide squads have experienced the same marches and battles as ordinary soldiers, when they are almost exhausted, they can still maintain a certain amount of physical strength and still have the power to fight.
Of course, this has a lot to do with everyone's physique. For example, if you marche at a weight for 100 miles a day, many people are as tired as dogs, but there are still a few people who are more relaxed and have their spare energy.
Sun Li organized a suicide squad with about 3,000 people, which was probably the only trump card in Sun Li's hand. However, Sun Li did not issue an offensive order at the first time, but ordered the suicide squad with three thousand people to sit down and rest on the spot and eat dry food first.
Originally, Sima Jun was moving all the way and only prepared to camp and rest after arriving at Lingshi Pass, burying a pot and making rice. However, as soon as he arrived at the destination, he was ambushed by the Bingzhou Army. They were forced to join the battle, and then fought continuously for a long time. His physical strength had already been exhausted and his hunger was so hungry that even the iron man could not bear it.
Therefore, before the attack, Sun Li specially arranged for the death to eat some dry food and drink some water, and had a short rest, so that they could more or less recover their physical strength and make their combat power stronger.
Of course, I can't count on hot rice. In such a chaotic battle, the chefs can't cook, they can only eat some dry food.
The suicide squad is at the foot of the West Mountain, and there are thousands of Sima troops on their periphery to protect them, so they have time to have the opportunity to eat some dry food. Otherwise, they would not even have the chance to eat dry food in a chaotic battle.
The Bingzhou Army is still launching attacks. Although their attack is not very fierce at this moment, this kind of attack method that is step by step and steady invades the living space of Sima Army step by step. Under the oppression of the Bingzhou Army, the Sima Army's position has become smaller and smaller, and the formation has become increasingly dense. If they cannot open up the situation as soon as possible and rush to the top of the mountain, they may be destroyed at the foot of the Xishan Mountain.
After a little rest, Sun Li gave the order and the suicide squad began to attack Xishan.
Although the Bingzhou Army had repelled an attack from the Sima Army, they did not relax because of this. They continued to maintain a high alert state and were always ready for the Sima Army's attack.
Of course, Sima's first attack was completely caught off guard by the ambush of the Bingzhou Army without any preparation. Therefore, during the first battle, Sima's army was completely in a passive position. Without even seeing the opponent clearly, they were killed in a mess. After throwing the corpses all over the ground, they retreated down the mountain in a mess.
Of course, Sima's army would not be as reckless as last time when attacking again. Moreover, all the soldiers they sent out were elite infantry, experienced and experienced for a long time. Even if it was such a very difficult battle, these suicide squads had a way to find breakthrough points.
Attacking a dangerous peak requires great courage and perseverance. Generally speaking, the more dangerous the mountain, the more difficult it is to conquer a mountain. In fact, peaks like the Lingshi Xishan cannot be called dangerous peaks, and it will be relatively less difficult to conquer.
But in fact, since the Xishan Mountain is almost a stone mountain, there is less vegetation on the mountain and lacks tall trees and scattered shrub forests as a cover, the Sima Army's every move cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Bingzhou Army on the mountain. Therefore, the Sima Army's attack will be completely exposed to the Bingzhou Army's nose. Coupled with the steep mountain, the Sima Army's attack will almost be difficult.
However, since the suicide squad is called the suicide squad, it is precisely because they have the spirit of fearlessness that these people have been through the battlefield for a long time and have long been indifferent to life and death. The robes in front fell down, and the people behind them did not even blink their eyes. They stepped on the corpse in front and still launched a firm attack.
Most of the Xishan Mountains are steep slopes of more than fifty degrees, and some places are even nearly vertical. Climbing such steep slopes requires sufficient physical strength and climbing skills. The Sima army's continuous march and combat was almost dragged down by Iron Man.
However, the tenacity and tenacity shown by these suicide squadrons seemed to have exceeded their physical limits. They braved arrows, rolled woods and stones and rushed to the top of the mountain. Even if some people were falling behind and some were casualties in the middle, they could not stop their progress at all. The offensive and defensive battle in Xishan reached a white-hot level from the beginning.
The Bingzhou Army was condescending and occupied an advantage in the terrain. Such a huge advantage was enough to make up for the shortage of their numbers.
The Sima Army's suicide squadrons were holding a shield above their heads. During the climbing process, a shield was enough to protect the whole body, which could effectively resist the arrows of the Bingzhou Army.
However, the shield's protection ability of the rolling wood and stones thrown by the Bingzhou army was extremely small. The huge rolling wood roared from the top of the mountain, and its power, which shook withered and destroyed, swept across thousands of troops, was completely unstoppable.
There are also stones, weapons that can be obtained everywhere on the mountain, which have become the biggest weapon for defense. Once hit by stones, Sima Bing is almost inseparable.
The battle of attacking the mountain fell into a stalemate.
