Five hundred and eleventh chapters take advantage of the location
More than 200 people were killed or injured in the first large-scale attack, which made Lu Fang a little angry. He also realized that he underestimated the enemy. More importantly, they had no shields and the enemy's rolling wood fell down, and they had no room for dodging.
At this time, a subordinate made a plan to him: "If so many brothers died, it is better to carry their bodies up the mountain, which may reduce casualties."
This sentence means using corpses as flesh shields. Generally, such things are difficult to do, and it is easy for the soldiers to be cold. However, Lu Fang was helpless for a moment, so he took the initiative and nodded, "Go and call Luo Jin!"
Soon, Luo Jin rode on a horse and shouted from afar: "Brother, it's better to concentrate troops to attack!"
"That's what I mean, go and transfer all your brothers to the north!"
Luo Jin turned his horse and ran away, and soon brought the remaining more than 300 soldiers to the north. The two armies reunited, and Lu Fang recounted the troops. There were about 780 people and dozens of seriously injured soldiers, but these wounded soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness and could no longer be used.
Lu Fang selected 300 people and formed archers, and asked them to shoot arrows on the mountain to cover the main force's attack. He picked out another hundred strong soldiers, so that each of them would carry a body to attack in front. He planned in his mind that as long as one hundred people rushed up the mountain first to fight with the enemy, it would be easier for the soldiers behind to go up the mountain.
The troops are redeploying at the foot of the mountain, and the corresponding deployment is also being deployed on the mountain. Li Yanqing only left 30 people to defend the mountain road on the south side, reducing the soldiers who defended the east and west sides. He had to rely on ropes to climb the mountain on both sides. Only ten people needed to patrol and cut the ropes in time.
The rest of the soldiers were all concentrated in the north to defend. In addition, Zhang Ying was digging the roots of trees around the mountain temple with dozens of people. The reason why he did not make a big mud ball was because the snow on the top of the mountain was not enough. It had melted into water before, and most of the snow had been used up. Without the snow, there would be no water. Making mud balls required a lot of water to stir the soil.
Secondly, there is not enough time. After making a large mud ball, it will take at least two or three hours to completely solidify. They can't wait.
But Wang Gui soon discovered another resource, that is, the roots of the tree. The mountain temple was originally covered with large pine trees, but the years of cutting down the woods had been cut down, leaving only tree stumps. The stumps were dug up and the branches were cut off, and they became wooden stakes weighing hundreds of kilograms, with hundreds of them.
This is a very practical resource and is easy to obtain. As long as you use a rope to cover the wooden stakes and everyone can work hard together, they can uproot the wooden stakes.
More than 200 soldiers were waiting for battle on the top of the North Mountain. At this time, the sound of "dong!dong!" came from the foot of the mountain. Li Yanqing shouted: "The crossbow soldiers are in their place, and they are ready to roll the wood!"
There are more than 60 rolling trees on the top of the mountain. If more than 100 tree root piles are delivered in time, that would be enough.
More than 200 people were divided into two teams. Yue Fei led a hundred spearmen to stand behind the mud bag, while Wang Gui led a hundred crossbowmen and other throwing soldiers to stand on the side to prepare.
At this moment, a dense array of arrows suddenly shot at the foot of the mountain. More than a dozen soldiers could not dodge and were shot by arrows. However, the arrows did not penetrate their double leather armor. All the arrows were in danger. Only two soldiers were shot into the door by arrows and fell down screaming. Li Yanqing urgently ordered the soldiers to dodge, and the two injured soldiers were quickly carried into the yard.
However, the number of bandits at the foot of the mountain was not large, and three-stage shooting was not used. When a dense array of arrows were shot, a short time gap appeared. This was the enemy archers who were pulling arrows and rolling the strings. Wang Gui shouted: "Click the archers with crossbow arrows!"
The crossbow soldiers turned over and lay on mud bags, raising crossbows to shoot at the enemy archers at the foot of the mountain. The crossbow arrows were much more powerful than the archer's archers. In an instant, more than twenty archers fell to the ground with arrows. Then another dense array of arrows shot towards the mountain. The crossbows of both sides fired alternately, forming an arrow net.
At the same time as the crossbow war broke out, hundreds of bandit soldiers began to attack the mountain. This was the second large-scale attack after Lu Fang learned his lesson. The hundred vanguards in front held spears, each carrying a corpse on their backs. Although it was not pleasant to carry a corpse on their backs, they were much more at ease than being killed by rolling wood or being shot by arrows without any cover.
The troops behind try to climb up the mountain along the earth slope, lengthen the team and no longer cluster on the hillside.
"Bump down with rolling wood!"
In the gap between the enemy's arrows, dozens of soldiers picked up big wood and smashed it down the mountain. The bandits on the mountain road shouted, lying on the ground, and the giant wood hit the corpses on their backs. The effect was indeed good. More than 20 giant trees only injured several people. The bandits continued to get up and carry the corpses on their backs.
"Roll the wood to stop!"
Li Yanqing also discovered that there was not much situation, and the enemy had not suffered many casualties. He immediately stopped Rolling Wood. After thinking for a moment, he immediately realized that the enemy must have carried the body up the mountain.
"Old Li, what should I do?" Wang Gui asked nervously.
Li Yanqing sneered, "Don't worry, when they go up the mountain in the second half, they will use a rolling wood to hit them from the front. I want to see how they resist?"
This time, Li Yanqing only carried the Fengchasing Bow and a straight knife when he went north, and did not carry other large weapons. He also brought more than a dozen flying stones and three daggers. But now Li Yanqing also felt that he needed some weapons.
"Agui, can you find me some daggers?"
Wang Gui suddenly remembered the scene of Xixia attack. He was so excited that he trembled all over, "I'll go now!" He turned around and ran away. Soon he brought dozens of daggers, and the two soldiers behind him also held dozens of daggers.
Each soldier is equipped with a short dagger. This kind of small weapon can only be used when the two are tangled together. Otherwise, it is just a tableware, but it is different for Li Yanqing. His flying knife skills will save a large number of rural soldiers from the gates of hell.
This kind of small-scale battle does not actually require Li Yanqing's command. Wang Gui and Yue Fei are enough to command the soldiers to fight. Li Yanqing is only responsible for coordinating and finding possible loopholes in defense, and at the same time accurately sending the support soldiers to various weak links.
Li Yanqing stood on the edge of the side, with a four-foot-high mud bag wall in front of him and a large rock on the side. From his perspective, he could observe the overall battle. Of course, when the enemy rushed up the slope, Li Yanqing was also right behind them.
At this time, one hundred bandits had already rushed through the turn of the 'zhi'-shaped mountain road and began to face the defensive soldiers above. The distance was about thirty steps. In front of them were hundreds of spearmen. The dense spears poked out from the three-foot-high mud bag wall, like a cluster of vigorously growing thatched needle grass. Above seven or eight feet high, were one hundred crossbowmen and dozens of soldiers preparing to throw rolling wood.
However, the target of the crossbowmen was not them, but the archers at the foot of the mountain. It was not the sharp crossbow arrows that really made them scared, but the thick and heavy rolling woods on their heads.
There were more than forty rolling wood left on the top of the mountain. At this time, more than a dozen wooden piers made of tree stumps were also sent. These wooden piers were very large, just like large wooden barrels in a pub cellar. They were all handed over to Yue Fei. Yue Fei would use them to attack the enemy from the front. At this time, the attack on the bandits stopped and waiting for them to gather.
Although they only had thirty steps to the top of the mountain, the attacking bandits had a very difficult journey, mainly because the ground was too slippery, and they were staggering. They had to use their hands and feet, and slowly climbed up with their bodies on their backs. Many people slid down when they were halfway through, knocking over several companions in a row.
Yue Fei and a group of village soldiers and spearmen looked coldly at the bandits who were climbing hard below, and their eyes were like a group of cats watching the large group of mice coming to die. I believe many people regretted that they shouldn't have made the ground so slippery, and maybe the bounty given by Censor Li would be out of their reach.
At this time, more than a hundred bandits had climbed halfway through, and Yue Fei could no longer bear it. He looked at Li Yanqing and happened to see Li Yanqing nodding to him.
Yue Fei's passion in his heart was ignited all of a sudden. He turned around and shouted, "Come on ten wooden trunks!"
The wooden pier was very heavy, and only two or three soldiers could move one. The soldiers quickly put the wooden pier on the mud bag wall. With Yue Fei's order, ten heavy wooden piers rolled and smashed towards the enemy soldiers on the slope. Many soldiers were so scared that they screamed, discarded the bodies and rolled down the hillside desperately, but the wooden pier still smashed ruthlessly, and there was a wailing sound on the hillside.
At this time, the rolling wood above the head also ruthlessly. The soldiers without the corpse blocking were smashed to pieces and were covered in blood and were seriously injured. Only a dozen of the hundred soldiers survived and stumbled down the mountain. The hundreds of soldiers following them were so scared that they turned around and fled. The mountain road was in chaos.
