Jin Feng and Guangyuan soldiers appeared here together, which shows that someone must have reported to Jin Feng.
Moreover, according to the timing, Jin Feng received the report on the day of the siege, and immediately went to Guangyuan to seek help from the county governor.
Only in this way can we arrive so quickly.
"Which of you reported to sir?"
Qing Mulan looked at his personal guards and asked again.
"Miss, it's me!"
Amei replied in a low voice: "My duty is to protect the safety of the young lady, so before the bandits completely surrounded the mountain, I asked Axia to go back and report to the sir."
"Your duty is to protect my safety, but have you ever considered your husband's safety?"
Qing Mulan stared and asked, "Don't you know that in this case, if you let Mr. come over, he will be in danger?"
"I know, but I have no other choice."
Amei replied: "I asked Axia to remind Mr. Xia of the situation here and also tell Mr. Feng about it. Now that Mr. Feng is here, he must be confident."
"Looking at the team, the total number of government soldiers and bodyguards brought by Mr. is at most 2,000, and the bandits number more than 4,000. They have already occupied the favorable location, and have also taken away our catapults and heavy crossbows. Mr.
What confidence can we have?”
Qing Mulan shouted: "Are you relying on these government soldiers who are even inferior to Commander Xinjun in terms of combat effectiveness?"
The distance between catapults and heavy crossbows when attacking from the mountain is different from when attacking from the bottom of the mountain.
Just like if you drop a javelin from a tall building and can easily throw it dozens of meters away, it is impossible to stand on flat ground and throw the same javelin to a tall building dozens of meters away.
Now the bandits also had heavy crossbows and catapults, and they had already occupied the favorable terrain halfway up the mountain, completely defeating Jin Feng's catapults and heavy crossbows.
Besides sending troops to attack, Qing Mulan really couldn't think of any other way to break the situation?
When Jin Feng explained the art of war to her, he once said that if you are ten, you can surround it, if you are five, you can attack it, if you have doubled it, you can divide it. If the enemy is small, you can fight it, if you are small, you can escape from it, and if you are weak, you can avoid it.
This means that when your own number is ten times that of the enemy, you can surround the enemy and fight.
If the number is five times that of the enemy, then beat him quickly.
If the enemy is twice as large as the enemy, disperse the enemy and defeat them one by one, so as to minimize your own losses.
If you are equal in number with the enemy and you are sure of winning, then fight. If you are far weaker than the enemy and you know you cannot win, then don't hesitate and run away. If you run slowly, you may lose your life on the battlefield.
Now, the equipment, terrain, and numbers of the imperial soldiers are all at a complete disadvantage.
Qing Mulan could not see any hope of winning.
"This slave has made his own decision, please punish me, Miss!"
Amei knelt down on one knee and refused to defend herself.
"You... I'll settle the score with you when you go back."
Although Qing Mulan was angry, she also knew that Amei was not to blame for this incident, so she stamped her feet and turned around to go down the mountain.
She had to organize her manpower quickly, and she had to cooperate if Jin Feng launched a strong attack.
"Sister Amei, the ladies are all gone."
Alan reached out and pulled Amei up, and the two hurriedly caught up with Qing Mulan.
Perhaps stimulated by Jin Feng, Qing Mulan became particularly ruthless. In order to restore military discipline, he asked Amei and the escort to kill five or six Chang Xin soldiers who were deliberately dragging their feet.
Qing Mulan was busy establishing his authority and rectifying military discipline, and Jin Feng at the foot of the mountain was not idle either.
The army of Fu soldiers advanced until they were more than a mile away from Wulang Mountain before stopping.
Jin Feng stopped walking forward because he saw the catapult and heavy crossbow on the mountainside.
According to his calculation, if he goes further, he may enter the attack range of catapults and heavy crossbows.
Jin Feng, Zhang Liang, and Xiao Duwei stood side by side behind a big stone.
Not only does it have a vast view, it is also a blind spot for bandit catapults and heavy crossbows.
"Captain Xiao, you can send someone to shout."
Zhang Liang turned to look at Captain Xiao.
"Wouldn't it make the bandits laugh if I shouted at this time?"
Lieutenant Xiao cursed in his heart, but he still waved his hand to a captain of the soldiers: "Old Liang, go and shout something!"
The squad leader said yes with a grimace and drove his horse to the front of the formation.
"Bandits, listen, we are soldiers of Guangyuan County, we know what we are like, get out of here and surrender, otherwise, we will be shot without mercy!..."
Before the squad leader finished shouting, the bandits' laughter could be heard from the other side.
"The soldiers haven't woken up yet. How dare they ask me to surrender?"
"Hahaha, you kill me without mercy, I'm laughing so hard!"
"Son, get out of here quickly. If you run too slowly, I'll tear your head off!"
Before the bandits' laughter ended, several heavy crossbow arrows roared towards them.
Perhaps the bandits were not proficient enough with heavy crossbows, so all the arrows missed, and the nearest one was only a foot away from the squad leader.
But even so, the team leader was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, kicked the horse in the belly, turned around and ran back.
Perhaps all the heavy crossbows failed and the bandits felt they had lost face. As soon as the team leader turned his horse around, a large piece of stone flew out from the mountainside.
The killing power of a heavy crossbow is linear, while the killing power of a catapult is spread out.
The team leader was not so lucky this time. He was hit by rocks one after another and died on the spot.
"Damn bandits!"
When Captain Xiao saw this, he was so angry that he punched the stone next to him.
Jin Feng's face was so cold that he almost shed tears, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, and drew some symbols on the ground that Captain Xiao couldn't understand at all.
Zhang Liang, on the other hand, still looked calm and nodded to the escort behind him.
Rumble!
A group of female soldiers pushed the three catapults that had just been assembled to the front of the position and waited silently.
After a while, Jin Feng threw away the branch, raised his head and said: "Car No. 1, direction three, height six, full bow, three bombs No. 2."
"What's the meaning?"
Captain Xiao scratched his head.
Except for the sentence "Car No. 1", he didn't understand anything else Jin Feng said.
Zhang Liang and Da Liu both understood it, but no one explained it to him.
These three catapults are all part of Jin Feng's back-mountain warehouse. They are not only portable, but also equipped with a base that can adjust the direction, as well as a ruler recently developed by Jin Feng.
As soon as Jin Feng finished speaking, the female soldiers in charge of the first catapult immediately took action.
Someone turned the base, someone turned the winch, someone adjusted the angle, and someone opened the box and took out three jars as big as small bowls.
"The direction is in place!"
"Height in place!"
"The camber is in place!"
"Fire bombs in place!"
Ten seconds later, the female soldiers reported one after another.
"Car No. 2, direction two points five, height six points, bow nine points, No. 1 bombs two."
Jin Feng continued to speak.
The female soldiers in charge of the second catapult also took action quickly.
On the mountainside, Qing Mulan reluctantly gathered Chang Xin's army. When he saw the scene at the bottom of the mountain, he whispered in confusion:
"What is sir doing? He doesn't think that a catapult can hit the rocks on the mountain from such a distance, right?"
