Chapter 159 Breaking through
In the summer afternoon, the sun is the most scorching, which makes people lose their energy. But at this moment, at the foot of Jinji Ridge, hundreds of barbarian soldiers had to cheer up and charge towards the mountain.
"Fire the arrow, fire the arrow quickly." Feng Chong on the mountain shouted to the soldiers around him.
He didn't expect that the high-end thief was so cunning and deceived him and others, but still took the official route.
Thanks to Liu Sima's thinking before evacuating, it would be inconvenient for the cavalry to cross mountains and ridges to chase the rebels.
He and others stayed behind along with a group of wounded soldiers, otherwise the Yi soldiers would have been able to pass through Jinji Ridge smoothly.
It's just that the total number of wounded soldiers who can ride on the battlefield is only about 400, so it is really difficult to hold on.
Fortunately, the terrain of Jinji Ridge is steep. The narrow and rugged roads in the valley have long been blocked by rocks and giant trees. The camps on the ridge have fortifications. The barbarian soldiers who can face the enemy can only deploy a few hundred people.
Therefore, it can still hold up at this moment.
It’s just that the number of barbarian soldiers is large after all,
Inspired by the desire to escape,
It can be said that he is not afraid of death and charges upward wave after wave.
The enemy's offensive was so fierce. How long could it be defended? Feng Chong couldn't help but beat his heart. He only hoped that Liu Sima could come back for reinforcements as soon as possible and that Fu Jun could arrive with his troops as soon as possible. At this moment, he could only do his best.
Thinking of this, he already had thoughts of death. Even if he killed all these four hundred people, it would still be worth it as long as he could buy time for the reinforcements.
Seeing that many barbarian soldiers had rushed to the mountainside, Feng Chong quickly ordered: "Let the rolling wood and rocks roll."
Although most of his subordinates are cavalry, these sergeants are already the elite of the army, and they are extremely brave when fighting as infantry.
Soon, the rolling logs and stones were pushed down, taking advantage of the mountain's rapid descent and smashed into the group of barbarian soldiers. A scream was heard from the bottom of the mountain, and dozens of people were killed in an instant.
Smashed.
When the Yi soldiers behind saw the rocks and logs rolling down with such force, they were all frightened.
They all retreated down the mountain.
"hateful,
These cowardly guys retreated like this." In the barbarian formation at the foot of the mountain, Huo Yuan saw his own troops retreating, swung his whip and said angrily.
Gao Ding glanced at him and said calmly: "This is the first wave of attacks, so it doesn't matter."
Although Gao Ding looked normal now, he was already panicked and extremely angry in his heart. He was just trying to restrain himself in order to stabilize his military morale.
He did not expect that the army would still have soldiers and horses at Jinji Ridge. Although the number was small, they could still block him for a long time due to the favorable location.
If these officers and soldiers cannot be eliminated quickly, then he will be really in danger. Fortunately, the main force of the officers and soldiers has been diverted away by his own tricks, so there should still be time.
"Send the order to Agu Nan, and ask him to continue the attack for me, and don't give the officers and soldiers time to breathe."
We really can't cherish our troops now. Only by exchanging lives with the officers and soldiers on the mountain can we have a chance of survival.
The ordering soldier responded: "Yes."
Agunan, who was commanding the front line, did not dare to delay after receiving the order, and immediately mobilized five to six hundred fresh troops to attack the officers and soldiers on the ridge. After all, he also understood that now was not the time to hold back his forces.
As soon as Feng Chong took a drink of water, he found that the enemy army started to attack again.
I couldn't help but secretly cursed something hateful.
"Brothers, cheer up,
The barbarian soldiers are coming up again."
After a while, the two armies fought again, and this time the battle was more intense. If the first attack by the barbarian soldiers had a probing purpose, this time it was more serious.
This group of barbarian soldiers were elites selected by Agunan. They were not afraid of life and death, and rushed up quickly with their shields on their backs. The shield hand in front died, and the barbarian soldiers behind picked up their shields and continued to charge, not caring about their own lives.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
"Are you ready to roll the logs and stones?"
"Don't panic, reinforcements will arrive soon."
Feng Chong kept giving orders, shouting, and stimulating the morale of his troops in front of the battle.
"Damn, these barbarian soldiers want to trade their lives with us."
Looking at the Yi soldiers rushing up one after another, he knew that the Yi soldiers were really fighting, but his tribe was not easy to deal with.
After these days of fighting alone, the cavalry under Feng Chong's command have long since become an iron soldier. The Yi soldiers are not afraid of life and death, and they have long disregarded life and death.
Moreover, they cooperate with each other tacitly and have the same will. At this moment, even if they dismount and fight on foot, they are still very powerful.
For a time, arrows rained down on Jinji Ridge, and rocks and trees rained down like hail. The fierce battle between the two armies entered a fierce stage. Some people were injured and fell down, but no one retreated.
One side wants to capture the mountain top and open an escape route, while the other side wants to hold the camp and wait for reinforcements to arrive. No one will give in to the other, and they can only keep exchanging lives.
Watching such a tragic battle, Yamashita Gaoding was also frightened. After he led his troops to Anshang, although he suffered successive defeats, the defeats he faced personally were caused by being tricked. Like today, he was fighting with the army.
This was the first time for him to fight head-on. Now he finally felt the strong combat power and tenacious will of the officers and soldiers.
Are these still the weak county soldiers from before? Gao Ding was puzzled, could the power of a wise man really be so terrifying?
Yang Qing had only been in Yuexi for a few months, but he had already built a strong army. If he was allowed to stay longer, would the entire Nanzhong still have the strength to compete with the government?
And I heard that Zhuge Kongming is the most wise man in the world, and Yang Qing's child is already so powerful, so how terrible is Zhuge Liang!
The more Gao Ding thought about it, the more frightened he became. For the first time, he felt regret for rebelling against the imperial court. Wasn't he suicidal?
If we can escape today, it seems that Qiongdu cannot stay any longer. It is better to lead the men back to their nest to have a chance of survival.
"Win, win, win." Gao Ding was thinking about the future, when suddenly a burst of cheers came from the front.
Victory? Attacked?
Gao Ding looked up and saw that his son had indeed entered the army's camp.
Okay, tearing the gap open is half the battle won.
Gao Ding was extremely happy and smiled at Huo Yuan beside him: "Tell A Gu Nan to continue..."
"well!"
Before he finished speaking, another sigh came from the front line
It turned out that the dozens of people who rushed into the official army's stronghold were all killed in an instant, and the officers and soldiers sealed the entrance again.
"Send the order to Agunan to continue the fierce attack. The Han people will not be able to hold out for much longer." Gao Ding said with a frown.
"yes."
"What a danger." Feng Chong threw aside the corpse of a barbarian soldier, secretly glad that even though the force was so tight, he still had a reserve team of dozens of people, which prevented the barbarian soldiers who rushed in from widening their wounds.
But now there are only about two hundred people left. I don’t know how long they can last. Will I and others see the arrival of reinforcements?
The third attack of the Yi soldiers did not start immediately. Agu Nan let the soldiers rest for a while, and once again explained the interests and dangers, appointed officials and made wishes.
The Han army on the mountain had already suffered more than half of its casualties. This time he wanted to achieve great success in one fell swoop and defeat the Han stronghold on the mountain in one fell swoop.
Agug Nang looked at the sky and saw that it would be dusk in about half an hour. It was time to deal the final blow to the Han people.
"My sons, kill them!"
Following his order, the Yi soldiers launched another attack.
The sound of killing shook the sky, the beating of drums moved the ground, and looking at the enemy's overwhelming momentum, Feng Chong understood that the Yi people wanted to resolve the battle.
Well, today is the day to serve the country with one's own body. Even if Feng dies today, he will still take a piece of flesh from the barbarians.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Feng Chong shouted while leaning on his spear.
Chapter completed!
