The total strength of the Jinhua Dynasty is 300,000, which does not include local garrisons. The 50,000 most elite guards are personally led by His Majesty the King. According to the usual practice, the general leads the army of 100,000, and the general leads the army.
Fifty thousand. Just the three generals of the kingdom, let alone Bian Yi, were defeated by Song Junlin's Bai'er Army with just one bite, and the entire army of 30,000 was annihilated. Huo Liangjin was a talented man with few ambitions, a dishonest and greedy man.
He is afraid of death. And this person is best at cutting off the tails of geckos. It is completely impossible for him to die on the battlefield and sacrifice his life for the country. If the war ahead does not go well, he must be thinking about how to escape now. Compared with Luo Pingjiang
The two of them are much better than each other. However, the use of troops is average and there is nothing surprising. Just like the last time when Song Junlin took advantage of the opportunity to retreat to the north, he forcibly crossed the Xijiang defense line. If Park Zhicheng personally led the army to cross the river, then
Luzhou City must have been breached. No matter how hard it was, a solid base could be established on the north bank of the Xijiang River. As a result, not only did he fail to capture Luzhou, but he was also driven back to the south bank of the Xijiang River by Ouyang Jingzhong in despair. But His Majesty the King was obviously
I am a little worried about him, a general who comes from a branch of the royal family, so I know that these people are mediocre people, but because of this, they are more loyal and can control their actions. But in this way,
The already low combat effectiveness of the kingdom's soldiers is now even more difficult to guarantee.
Under the orderly command of Park Zhicheng, the Jinhua soldiers were divided into several echelons and rushed up the cliff on the right. If Cassimbas puts it in words, this army can barely be regarded as a third-rate elite.
Army. After all, their commander Park Zhicheng is also the number one general in Jinhua, and Jinhua's soldiers are obviously used to this kind of fighting method in the mountains and jungles. After all, their monkey size is really suitable for this kind of combat environment.
Under Pu Zhicheng's personal command, their dodges and maneuvers were somewhat military-like.
Seeing Zhu Shitan throw a stone at the top of the mountain on the left, Xue Sha knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. He sighed secretly, Zhu Shitan was still too impatient. But what he didn't expect was that the other party would act like this.
Resolutely and decisively, without any pause, the 50,000-strong army began to attack the mountain.
"Resist constantly, don't fight them head-on. Remember, hit them with rolling rocks first, and try to delay them for a while on the first line of defense." Xue Sha commanded calmly. Although the slope on the right is gentle, there are still four or five
Ten degrees, on the nearly one mile deep defense line, in the front half, trenches were set up every twenty meters or so. The trenches were filled with stones the size of watermelons. Although there were many on the hillside
There are many trees, but these were originally left behind specifically to cover up their tracks. If a stone of this size is smashed down from a high position, the victim will either die on the spot or be seriously injured and disabled. In the trench, the bloody killing is a
Archers are arranged layer by layer. Due to the advantage of being at a commanding height, their accuracy can not only be greatly improved, but also the range will be longer. Although Jinhua's soldiers are also mobile and flexible, they attack from above after all. They have a geographical disadvantage.
Make them have to pay more.
Looking at the golden flower soldiers all over the mountains and plains, a ferocious smile appeared on the bloody face habitually. Unfortunately, it is the rainy season now, the trees on the mountains are lush and lush, and the ground surface is relatively humid, otherwise if the fire goes down,
It will definitely burn a few hills. But even so, relying on the archers' sniping, the effect is very good. At that time, in order to guard against the attack of the Shan Sha Dan, the blood killing purposely brought a lot of arrows, but I didn't expect it.
It's used here.
"Tell the brothers below, don't fight with each other. Our troops are limited, and this is not a Hetao, so it is difficult to replenish our troops. Only by conserving our strength can we better kill the enemy. Damn it, these Golden Flower soldiers are all monkeys.
How can you climb so fast?" Xue Sha said unhurriedly, and only when he said the last sentence, he expressed emotion. As the direct disciple of Yingwu Layman, Xue Sha has great knowledge and insights.
He is outstanding. And more than ten years of life as a butcher has made this man accustomed to seeing blood. Unfortunately, he did not resolve the murderous thoughts in his heart as his master said, but because of his love for his daughter,
To die, he became even more bloodthirsty.
As the commander-in-chief of the Hetao West Route Army, he is not afraid of casualties in bloody killings, but he prefers to gain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. As a famous general, you should have the consciousness of being a famous general. The hands and medals of famous generals
It must be stained with blood, but a blood killer would never want his medal to be stained red by the blood of his brothers. One general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to dry up. In this case, it is better to use the bones of the other party's soldiers to cover his own blood stain.
The style of it.
Whenever the Jinhua soldiers were about to approach the trench, the Hetao soldiers who had already been recuperating in the trench would launch a counterattack. Unprepared, the Jinhua soldiers were immediately knocked down. However, Park Zhicheng was not an energy-saving man.
After using the lantern once or twice, they summed up the countermeasures. Every time the soldiers in Hetao counterattacked, the archers who had been prepared would fire a volley, killing all the people on the edge of the trench without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
Of course, considering the morale of the army, Park Zhicheng's move was not commonly used, but it also caused a lot of damage to the soldiers in Hetao.
Xue Sha's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. He had every reason to despise the Jinhua soldiers' combat effectiveness. But the opponent's coach was not an easy person. Every time Park Zhicheng was able to find the right time and the right angle to attack him.
position. In order to deal with the rolling stones of the soldiers in the Hetao, he spread his troops far apart and made some small trebuchets from local materials. Although such trebuchets were rough in workmanship and had many flaws and were not very powerful, they ultimately gave
The Hetao army poses a certain threat.
Seeing the "Pu" flag flying high in the opponent's army, Xue Sha's heart was moved. Could it be that Park Zhicheng had arrived in person? Thinking of this, Xue Sha's spirit was suddenly lifted. As a soldier, he could fight against a famous general.
On the battlefield, it is undoubtedly an extremely happy thing. For Park Zhicheng, who dominates the south and is known as the number one general south of the Xijiang River, he has been admired for bloodshed for a long time, especially after fighting against Cassimbas twice and seeing
After hearing the quick wits of Hengshi Hassan and Memphis, Xue Sha was even more eager to weigh the weight of these famous generals. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the fire of war in Xue Sha's eyes became even more intense.
Pu Zhiguo is indeed well-deserved, Xue Sha thought secretly. But this is normal. The combat effectiveness of Jinhua soldiers is slightly stronger than that of the empire's local garrison, and the combat effectiveness of Mitsukoshi soldiers is even worse, but they can defeat hundreds of empires.
The veteran general Ouyang Jingzhong held on tightly. It was obvious that the general still had some skills. But it was good, at least he wouldn't be too lonely in southern Yunnan.
Among the Golden Flower Army, Pu Zhicheng also frowned. He waved to the army staff: "Do you understand the origin of the other party?"
"Back to the general, the opponent should be the Blood Killing Division from the Qingfeng Empire's Hetao Haotian. But according to our latest information, their army should still be on the territory of the Shan people in Zili Prefecture. How could they arrive here so quickly?
And since the formation of the Hetao army was completely disrupted after the battle with Hukou of the Three Northeastern Countries, it is impossible to estimate the opponent's number and combat effectiveness." The staff officer replied cautiously.
"The number of people will not exceed 10,000. In terms of combat power, these must be the elites of Hetao. I heard that Haotian of Hetao is loyal to the court, so the army he sent must be the most elite subordinates. But I didn't expect that they would meet here.
This bloody killing." Park Zhicheng nodded slightly and said. He had done in-depth research on the Battle of Hukou, where Cassimbas was sure to win. Cassimbas laid out Jinzhou with a generous plan and calculated Qingfeng accurately.
The minds of the major forces in the empire therefore had the upper hand. Haotian in Hetao crossed the river eastward with a fearless spirit and collided head-on with Cassimbas's elite troops outside the Great Wall, showing his pride and courage. Although Cassimbas' layout was rigorous and watertight, but
The Hetao military is also full of talented people. In particular, the five men Xue Sha, Dugu, Feng Jing, Xin Ke and Bian Zhongxing laid the foundation for the victory of this battle. Although they were deeply surrounded, they remained calm and calm.
He did not lose his fighting spirit in the most difficult time, and showed his military style in the ambush from all sides. Later, thanks to the right time, place and people, the Hetao army finally succeeded in fighting back to the Hetao. However, the losses of both sides were equal.
To be fair, under the circumstances at that time, he thought that he would not be able to do better than Xue Sha and others. But today, it seems that he has really met his opponent.
After a pause, Park Zhicheng said: "The army headquarters will continue to attack. When attacking, spread the formation a little further. Well, what are they doing?"
The staff officer quickly ran to the front, and then quickly ran back: "Back to the general, when the Hetao soldiers retreated to the last trench, they were cutting down as many trees as possible between the trenches. The subordinates thought that they must be thinking
It is necessary to increase the difficulty of our army's climbing and slow down the speed of our army's attack. After cutting down the trees, it will also be conducive to their archers' shooting from a high position."
"Yes." Park Zhicheng nodded approvingly. It seems that this staff officer is not useless. After a pause, he continued: "Let the soldiers be as careful as possible when they attack the top platform. The other party must have some arrangements here.
Rolling logs.”
"The general is wise," the staff officer said with sincerity. The other party cleared the trees on the hillside, naturally in order to maximize the power of the rolling logs. Why didn't he think of this just now?
Xue Sha, who was standing on the top of the mountain, suddenly discovered that the opponent's attack power seemed to have weakened a bit, and the golden flower monkeys also paid more attention to covering themselves when attacking the mountain, instead of charging as hard as they did at the beginning.
Moreover, the distance between each soldier was also wider. Xue Sha took a closer look and saw why the opponent's army seemed a little empty. It seemed that there were at least 10,000 people missing?
Where have these soldiers gone? Could it be that they have given up going north to provide assistance? This should not be the case, otherwise they would not continue to fight with themselves here. Park Zhicheng has been able to dominate the south of the Xijiang River for so many years, so he is certainly not an ordinary person. Thinking of this,
Xue Sha couldn't help but change his perspective and put himself in Park Zhicheng's position to think about the problem.
Although the slope here is gentler than the cliff on the left, it is heavily guarded, and the general's wisdom is no less than his own. It is necessary to continue going north, but the army will not be able to capture this place for a while.
The top of the mountain. Then, the best way is to occupy the same commanding heights, and the distance between this commanding heights and the cliff cannot be too far, at least within the attack range of bows and arrows and small trebuchets. And such a commanding heights, if it meets the conditions, is next to it.
There is one.
Thinking of this, Xue Sha was startled in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Here comes! Immediately notify Zhu Shitan on the opposite side with a flag to be careful of the enemy's sneak attack."
However, the reminder of the bloody killing was still a little late. Zhu Shitan had just received the order of the bloody killing. Before he could figure out where the enemy would attack from, the Jinhua soldiers had already torn off their disguises, as if they had been stabbed.
The ants that had broken into their nest swarmed toward Zhu Shitan's position.
The mountains in southern Yunnan and Jinhua are different from the inland areas of the empire such as Qinchuan Road and Yizhou Road. The tops of their mountains are generally a platform that is slightly higher in the middle and slightly lower on all sides, rather than as steep as other mountain peaks.
Most of the mountainous areas are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Especially the cliff where Zhu Shitan is located, because the surrounding mountain walls are relatively steep, and the Golden Flower Army is all pressing on the top of the mountain on the side of Xuesha, so
While Zhu Shitan asked his subordinates to use bows and arrows as much as possible to support the bloody killing, he also neglected his own defense.
What he didn't expect was that Pu Zhicheng's plan was to build a plank road in secret to assassinate Chen Cang. It was true that the army was besieging and killing, but the opponent had the advantage in strength after all. Pu Zhicheng took advantage of every opportunity to mobilize troops and secretly eliminated them.
Ten thousand soldiers came out, made a circle, put on various disguises, and quietly approached Zhu Shitan's position. Although the slope of the cliff on the left was relatively steep, the Jinhua soldiers were used to this kind of terrain. As long as they
If no one disturbed them during the climb, they would definitely be able to succeed. But after most of the soldiers approached the top platform, they suddenly broke out.
Although Zhu Shitan is not a general, he is definitely a strong general, and he is absolutely obedient to the orders of his superiors. Although he does not understand how Jinhua's monkey lurked up, he understands that there is absolutely no way he can
Let these monkeys attack. Not only will you be ruined, but even the hilltop over there may not be saved. After all, the distance between the two hills is less than five feet, and what's more, your side is even bigger than the other side.
Higher up, bows and arrows and small trebuchets can cover the opponent's position. But after losing the advantage of the commanding heights, facing several times the superiority of the enemy and the number one general of Jinhua, even if it is a bloodbath, it will be a headache.
