"Stop the attack. We can't fight to the death. We must try to capture this place. Similarly, we can't stay here for too long, otherwise it will affect the situation in Zhenning County." Zhao Xun frowned and said.
"By the way, do you have any slave army prisoners here? Ask them about the situation here. Tell them that only by completely defeating the Mohe Army can their families be rescued. Otherwise, their families will always be controlled by the Mohe Army.
In your hand." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"I understand! I'm going to ask you now!" Bao Muyang responded and left.
"Damn Mohe Army! How despicable!" Li Ruolan said angrily. Then he asked worriedly: "Husband... Sir Commander, can we attack it?"
Zhao Xun said calmly: "How can a mere pass stop us?"
Xu Zheng, the captain of the fifth capital, said: "The brothers in the first capital are all cavalry. They can't exert much advantage here. Why don't we let me in the fifth capital attack!"
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "That's fine! If you attack, even if you can't take this place, you still have to make the Mohe army unstable. But don't rush for success or cause too many casualties to your subordinates!"
"Follow the order!" Xu Zheng took the order and left.
"Wei Dong, the Guards Battalion also sent two sentries to follow them!"
Pingshi Mountain is actually not a big mountain, but a rugged hill. But there are too many large and small hills on it and there are no trees, so it is called a mountain. It is more than ten miles away to the left of Pingshi Mountain.
You can go around it, but there is a large river on the left, the current is fast, and the bridge is destroyed, so this is the fastest way to the south.
Three thousand infantrymen of the fifth capital fought with the defenders on the slopes and bare hills that were more than three miles wide. In addition to more than a thousand servants, the Mohe Army also joined the battlefield. In an instant, the people from yesterday to today
The battle, coupled with the current fighting, almost all the land was stained red with blood.
Although the fifth army is a newly established unit, one-third of them are veterans of the original one to four capitals, and the rest are also soldiers of the Shunzhou Army and the Black Snake Army. Naturally, they are not afraid of fighting. On the contrary, because
With the new policy and a series of trainings, their morale was very high.
After giving the order, they immediately lined up and rushed fiercely to the large and small mountain cols on the opposite side. The Mohe army on the opposite side also reacted quickly, with pennants waving constantly, and groups of Mohe troops and servants emerged from everywhere.
However, they began to intercept the Shunzhou Army's attack, and the two sides soon became entangled.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The archers on both sides started shooting, and the arrowheads drew dense arcs in the sky, and then fell towards the opponent's head. The soldiers on both sides raised their shields skillfully, but did not stop advancing. Some soldiers were just like this.
The arrowhead hit him and he fell to the ground. The dry ground, which had been soaked with blood, was dyed red and soaked again...
After the rain of arrows, the two armies began to crowd together and start a melee. The current Shunzhou Army, like the Huolin Army, all use horizontal sword weapons, in addition to spearmen and sword and shield soldiers. The scimitars of the past were also recast.
, the refining city made more sophisticated and more convenient armor. The Mohe army still used scimitars,
In addition, they raided the treasury of Shunzhou Prefecture and equipped them with armors and shields. Perhaps because of the long battle, after holding on for half a stick of incense, the Mohe army gradually began to collapse. The soldiers of the Fifth Capital took advantage of the victory to pursue them, but large and small
Behind the hills, more Mohe troops surged up from time to time.
Because the terrain is uneven, with many high and low slopes and rocks, it is very unfavorable for the army to fight collectively. Even the fifth has a slight advantage, but it still cannot open up the situation. Except for the initial battle, which is a collective charge.
, it was more of a scattered melee. The two warring parties fought from the valley to the hilltop for a while, and then from the hilltop to the valley again. The fifth
They all have great momentum and superior physical strength, and the Mohe Army occupies a steep terrain, making it a pleasure to kill with two attacks. Fortunately, the Mohe Army is better at horse fighting, not good at defending cities, let alone this kind of guerrilla warfare, otherwise it would be easy.
The state army would suffer. But now it seems that the Mohe army, which had more troops than the Shunzhou army, did not have any advantage. As a result, the two sides basically ended in a draw.
Among them, more than 400 people from the Guards Battalion, under the leadership of Wei Dong, taught the soldiers of the Fifth Capital a lesson on what it means to be cooperative and what constitutes an elite warrior, which impressed the soldiers of the Fifth Capital. Speaking of the number of enemies killed,
Individually, they may not be the most numerous, but among themselves they are
The cooperation was perfect at that time, or three or five people, truly handed over the back to Pao Ze. The sword rose and fell cleanly, using the simplest moves to bring down the opponent. These more than four hundred people,
On the battlefield, he served as a teacher for the fifth capital...
In the melee, the two sides fought non-stop and fought together. Even the captain Xu Zheng, the captain Li Shengping, Wu Shao and nine captains personally committed suicide. The commander-in-chief of the Mohe army also fought with the Shunzhou army.
Together.
"Who is that general?" On a high ground in the rear, Zhao Xun asked Bao Muyang beside him as he looked at the servant general riding a black horse in front, wielding a spear and killing everyone in all directions.
"Sir, that person is Hu Xiang, the commander of the servant army here. He was the number one man in the Shunzhou Prefecture Army in the past. No one in the Prefecture Army could rival him.
I saw this Hu Xiang, riding his horse and fighting out of a valley, with a spear in his hand, looking for the junior officers of the Shunzhou Army to attack. He was riding a black war horse, very majestic, and very easy to identify on the battlefield. He was
The long gun has great injurious power, otherwise it would not
Zhao Xun will notice. His eyes are also very vicious and he can always find the officers of the Shunzhou Army. Several commanders, commanders and team leaders of the Shunzhou Army were killed or injured under his spear.
Where they passed by, there was even chaos among the Shunzhou Army's ranks.
"asshole!"
After the Shunzhou Army broke off contact with the Huolin Army, Han Meng also returned to Zhao Xun with the remaining 600 soldiers of the Guards Battalion. As for the heavy armor battalion, Colonel Cao Xiong was in charge. Obtained
After Zhao Xun's instructions, Han Meng roared, mounted his horse and intercepted the guy who was specifically trying to kill Shunzhou Army officers.
Hu Xiang originally didn't pay attention to this guy holding a pair of big iron halberds, but as soon as Han Meng took action, he knew he had met his opponent. The opponent's big iron halberds were very fierce and unstoppable. He hurriedly
He abandoned the target he originally wanted to kill and concentrated on dealing with Han Meng.
Since the defeat of the Black Snake Army and the Da Khitan Ji Department congratulated them, the Shunzhou Army's horses are no longer scarce, and some good horses have also appeared in the hands of various generals. As Zhao Xun's personal guard camp captain, Han Meng naturally has
After finding a suitable mount, a white horse, it was no problem to carry Han Meng. Now, Han Meng also had the strength of his feet.
Ever since he got this war horse, Han Meng had not been able to have a good fight. He spent all day training the soldiers of the Shunzhou Army with the Guards Battalion, and was very depressed. Hu Xiang's sudden appearance was exactly what he wanted, and in the blink of an eye the two of them were
The melee lasted for several rounds. During the fight, Han Meng became more courageous as he fought, while Hu Xiang became more frightened as he fought. Every time the spears and halberds met, Hu Xiang's arms went numb for a while, as the opponent's strength was too great.
Han Meng saw the opportunity, held the opponent's spear with his left halberd, and swung out his right hand with all his strength, stabbing Hu Xiang straight into the heart. Unexpectedly, Hu Xiang was not an easy person, and the spear in his hand was locked by the opponent's big iron halberd.
After that, he no longer struggled. Instead, he drew a short spear from the side of his horse and fiercely fended off Han Meng.
The big iron halberd came. Not only that, his short spear also hit Han Meng's chest, but it missed. So he dragged it down and tried to hit Han Meng's war horse. Fortunately, Han Meng's war horse was also a psychic BMW, and he immediately
He dodged and the two sides passed each other, then immediately turned around and started fighting together again.
Han Meng was happy, angry and excited at the same time. This Hu Xiang was indeed his opponent. He woke up and opened and closed the iron halberd in his hands. With a fierce voice, he struck at the opponent fiercely. Of course Hu Xiang
Also unwilling to show weakness, long spear and short sword
The spears cooperated exquisitely, one was long and the other was short, and they came with ease, and the two sides started fighting on a mountain. But as you came and I went, dozens of rounds passed in the blink of an eye. As time went by, the powerful Han
Meng gradually gained the upper hand.
Zhao Xun and others in the rear were watching the battle from a distance. Seeing all this, everyone was secretly surprised. This Hu Xiang turned out to be another fierce general! In terms of strength alone, this Hu Xiang was not as good as Han Meng, but except for Zhao Xun, Huo Xiang
Among the Lin Army, there is no one who is stronger than Han Meng. Although Hu Xiang's kung fu is not as good as Han Meng's, Han Meng wants to
Capturing him in a short period of time was not an easy task. The two of them went back and forth in a revolving door, their horses spinning back and forth on the hillside. Sometimes their weapons hit the boulders around them, causing large and small rocks to rise gradually.
Blocks flew out in all directions. The sound of the two people's weapons clashing also caused no one to come near, and the shock made other people's ears sting.
"This man is not bad, he should be captured alive! If I use him, he will be another strong general!" Zhao Xun looked at Hu Xiang who was fighting with Han Meng and said with emotion.
Without Zhao Xun's orders, Wei Dong on the battlefield also noticed the general of the servant army. He led his guards to try to cut off the opponent's retreat.
However, the large army of servants huddled on the mountains behind reacted quickly and immediately sent out relief troops to engage in melee with the Guards Battalion while raising a retreat flag. Hu Xiang feinted a shot, escaped from the battle circle, and immediately led the troops
The troops turned around and retreated, fighting and then retreating, and then returned to the battlefield.
They retreated to Pingshi Mountain. Although Wei Dong led the guard battalion in pursuit quickly, they were still unable to cut off the opponent's retreat. In the end, Hu Xiang successfully led his troops to retreat to Shiliang Mountain again, commanding the Shunzhou Army's pursuit troops.
To suppress, the Shunzhou Army had to retreat.
Looking at Pingshi Mountain from the rear, the Mohe Army and the Servant Army on it are nervously preparing to prevent the Shunzhou Army from launching a large-scale attack. You can even clearly see the large crossbow machine. It seems that the Mohe Army is still prepared for the Shunzhou Army.
Very thoughtful, if the Shunzhou Army launches a strong attack, it will inevitably lead to heavy casualties. I don’t understand.
For the defenders on Jue Mountain, the Shunzhou Army would suffer even greater casualties if they tried to pass through the official road in the middle. In fact, from the height of Pingshi Mountain, there is nothing special about it. It is just that against the backdrop of the plains on both sides of Pingshi Mountain,
That's why this place is so dangerous. There is a small stream on it, so there is no need to worry about water sources.
The best way to deal with the enemies in Pingshishan is to go around and then besiege them on the north and south sides. Not to mention whether the terrain in the south is as good as the north, but to be surrounded on both sides is enough to make them worry about their food. The terrain is good, but it is not
It is conducive to logistics transportation. Hiding in the mountains, storing military rations can only last for a month at most.
In the remaining time, after one month, if no one delivers military rations to them, the defenders here will have no choice but to eat grass. In other words, the Shunzhou Army only needs to cut off their connection with Shunzhou City.
The enemy army will gradually wither like a melon whose vines have been cut off. The Shunzhou army can completely defeat the enemy without fighting.
If there is no time consideration, this method is worth trying. Pass through He on the left and detour to the south to trap these Mohe troops. Unfortunately, the Shunzhou army does not have so much time to spend here. Once here,
It took too much time, where are the Fire Lin Army in the south and the Tigers in the west?
Accidents will happen. If there is any change in the Weizhou Prefecture's Mohe Army, that will be a really fatal thing. In addition, because of the strength of the Fire Lin Army, Zhao Xun also hopes to capture Shunzhou Prefecture and Weizhou Prefecture as quickly as possible.
, resulting in an established fact. These places were all taken back from the Mohe people.
When the fifth capital was withdrawn, none of the captains and captains looked very good-looking. Only Zhao Xun looked normal. The day passed like this again, and Zhao Xun greeted everyone to dinner with a calm face.
Today's dinner was quite good. It was sent by the gentry from the nearby towns and villages. It was delicious and plentiful. It was much better than the daily military camp food. It turns out that the squires in these places were eager for the Shunzhou Army to defeat the Mohe Army. Compared with the Mohe Army
, the Shunzhou Army didn’t know how to get better.
The battle during the day did not make any progress. Everyone had no appetite, and they were unhappy when eating. Xu Zheng couldn't help but said: "Sir, how about we launch a strong attack!"
Wei Dong also said: "Sir, as long as we work hard, we should be able to win here."
Zhao Xun did not make a decision, but kept calling everyone to eat. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to eat in silence. Everyone knew that if they attacked by force, there would be a lot of casualties, which was why Zhao Xun had ordered a retreat before.
"This is just the beginning, don't be impatient!" After dinner, when he returned to his tent, Li Ruolan said softly to the side.
Zhao Xun pulled Li Ruolan, hugged her in his arms, and said with a smile: "What? Are you worried that I can't afford to lose? How can the defenders stop the advance of the army?"
"I knew there was nothing you couldn't solve!" Li Ruolan said comfortably, feeling so relieved and safe when being held in Zhao Xun's arms.
