Chapter 258 Attacking the Mountain II
At the foot of the mountain, Wang Dao looked at it so angry that he didn't expect that a remnant soldier in the Sichuan Army could even get such a big wave. In addition to being angry, he organized two large-scale attacks in succession. However, without exception, they were blocked by the Sichuan Army on the mountain.
The Pei family army's offensive was frustrated, and for a moment, its morale gradually fell. Wang Daozhi was extremely angry and drew his sword to kill the officer who was unfavorable to attack the mountain. Fortunately, he was stopped by the generals on the side. The Pei family army had its own military law, and the generals under him were not the main general, and he could kill them just by saying that they could kill them.
In anger, Wang Daozhi threw the sword in his hand to the ground, looking at the towering Shaoqiuling, and felt a lot of pain. It was originally a big mistake to be broken by Deng Yan during the war, but now he attacked the mountain and suffered from the loss of troops and generals. This not only greatly affected his prestige, but also greatly reduced his position in Pei Xiaoer's heart. The contribution he had just captured Nanzhao also disappeared here.
"General, we caught a mountain man. He claimed to be from Shaoqiu Village and knew the path to the mountain." At this time, several soldiers walked over with a simple man carrying a coarse linen and a medicine basket on his back.
"Oh?" Wang Dao looked him up and down carefully. Seeing that his outfit was exactly the same as the legendary mountain people, he immediately believed it in his heart, and then asked, "Do you know there is a small road to go up the mountain?"
"Back... Go back to adults, little... do you know..." The mountain citizen was a little scared and stuttered, but these were not important, as long as he could bypass the deadly mountain road and come to the top of the mountain.
"Okay, you will lead the way. If we can bring our army safely to the top of the mountain, I will be rewarded with great rewards." Wang Daozhi said hurriedly.
"Sir, little...the little man is just a mountain picker...the herb collector knows a small path, but this path is winding and steep, so it is absolutely difficult for the army to move up. I am afraid that the adult army cannot climb to the top of the mountain."
The mountain people often picked up herbal medicines in the mountains and took them to nearby markets to sell them. In order to sell the medicinal materials they picked for a good price, under his honest appearance, he also hid some of his own cunning and small thoughts.
"As long as I can find this path, I will give you ten taels of silver. In the future, every time I bring an additional soldier up the mountain, I will add one tael of silver to you. If the top is not capped, what do you think?" The kingly way is enhancing the temptation.
Sure enough, a hint of greed appeared in the honest and honest look of Shanming. One tael of silver for one person, ten taels of silver for ten people, one hundred taels of silver for one hundred people, and the one thousand people... Thinking of this, the mountain man's breathing suddenly accelerated a lot without realizing it.
Wang Daozhi also struggled all the way from the bottom to the present. With a big look, he knew what the mountain citizen was thinking. Suddenly, his right hand slapped the mountain citizen's shoulders. At the same time, he took out ten taels of silver from his arms with his other hand and sent it to the mountain citizen's hands, saying:
"These ten taels of silver are the rewards for finding mountain roads. If you can take my soldiers up the mountain as soon as possible, then the remaining silver will be given to you a lot."
"Yes, yes," the mountain man stopped stuttering, thanked him repeatedly, and then said, "General Road is here, please come with me." As he said that, the mountain man quickly flashed into the mountains on the right, like a monkey trooping around the mountains like walking on flat ground, very inflexible.
"Go, follow up" Wang Daozhi frowned and waved his right hand forward. Then hundreds of soldiers followed him, chasing the footsteps of the mountain people, and shuttled through the mountains. However, compared with the flexible mountain people, their speed was more than half a beat slower.
Finally, I walked to the side of the path that the mountain people mentioned. The mountain people pointed to a vine hanging down from a cliff and said to the king: "General, this is the path that I mentioned."
Wang Dao looked straight as the mountain people pointed, and saw a vine hanging down from above on a cliff. There were several caves in the middle that looked like artificially dug, which could be used for one person to stay and rest.
"General, this is the path I mentioned. This path was dug out on this cliff when I was collecting herbs on weekdays. It is absolutely secret. I only know that the path is difficult to walk. I wonder if the soldiers under the general can climb up to this steep cliff?"
Wang Dao looked straight at the vines hanging from the cliff. Chen Si didn't say anything, and after a long time he turned around, he said to the soldiers following him: "The road is here. Whether you can climb up or not depends on your own. Those who can climb up will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with silver and white. Even if you die on the top of the mountain in the future, your status can be served by your nephews in your family. Can anyone take this risk?"
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. The others Wang Daozhi said are ordinary rewards. Only the status of the general was passed on to his nephews, which set a precedent for the Pei family army. The Pei family army has never had such a precedent. However, it is precisely because of this that it seems to be more and more precious.
"General, I'll go. I've grown up on Taihang Mountain since I was a child. I've climbed such cliffs. I'll go." A soldier stood up first, and then there was a second place, third place and hundreds of soldiers standing out one by one.
"Okay, good-looking, I'm worthy of being the soldiers under this general. There is indeed no coward," Wang Daozhi laughed, stepped forward, patted the soldier's shoulder hard, and said, "Go with peace of mind! My Wang Daozhi said that he spitted and nailed, and he would never regret it. After you come to the mountain, don't rush to attack, find a place to hide first,
Then wait for my order, and when I order the army to attack the mountain again and attract the Sichuan soldiers on the mountain, you will emerge from the hidden place and attack the enemy's confidants. In this way, you and I will cooperate inside and outside, and you will be able to take down these thieves who dare to resist."
"Yes, general. We know, general, we're leaving."
"Yeah, go!"
Watching the group of suicide squads leave, crawling up one by one along the vines. From time to time, soldiers would scream and fall from the cliff, falling down from the abyss below, and then disappearing.
Wang Daozhi kept watching the group of deadly warriors, and went straight to the clouds, and then turned around and returned to the place where the army was stationed.
After waiting for another half an hour, he guessed that the group of death soldiers came to the top of the mountain and hid themselves, Wang Daozhi immediately ordered the army to continue the attack.
Everything was almost the same as the first attack, but when we arrived at the deadly steep slope, the soldiers became more careful. Through the gap in the middle of the shield, they looked up to the mountain, and their spirits collapsed to the limit, ready to avoid the rolling stones on the mountain at any time.
Sure enough, just halfway through the climb, the Sichuan Army on the mountain once again threw down the prepared rolling stones. This time, the soldiers of the Pei family who were attacking had expected it, turned around flexibly and hid under the corpse of the robes that had died tragically on the hillside a few times. They held up the shield in their hands and shrank their bodies into a ball, waiting for the arrival of the god of death.
The soldiers who attacked the previous few times were all killed by stones and wood, so there were still stones, wood and other objects on their bodies. The stones that rolled down from the mountain collided with the stones that were still on the corpse, and the direction of the descending changed, and they bypassed the soldiers hiding behind them, so that the soldiers hiding under the corpse could survive by chance.
But such lucky people are a minority after all, and most soldiers still cannot escape the fate of being killed by falling rocks from the mountain.
At this moment, the number of rolling stones suddenly dropped a lot on the mountain. At the same time, there was a faint sound of fighting on the top of the mountain, as if two pairs of people were fighting.
Wang Daozhi was excited. This was the sound of the soldiers who walked around the mountain from a small road and fighting with the Sichuan Army on the mountain. At the same time, this was also the time for him to arrange it.
Wang Daozhi no longer hesitated, and did not care about the casualties of the soldiers. He once again ordered the entire army to attack. Anyone who dared to be greedy for life, fear of death, avoid war and survive would be killed without mercy.
As a result, the soldiers of the Pei family, who were extremely sensitive to the order, instinctively risked the rolling stone to death, once again emerged from the invisibility and attacked the mountain to the death.
