Although Beishan is not very high, its circumference is not small, so Zhou Chen's defense line is also very long.

Although he had 15,000 soldiers in his hand, he was not as strong as he was divided into different places.

In addition to insufficient troops, the equipment and morale of soldiers and combat effectiveness are also a very important issue.

Now, except for some officers, all the people under the army were soldiers drawn from each battalion, but there were no Black Armored Army under the command of the lord Liu Feng who could strictly implement the orders and not fear death.

Therefore, their combat effectiveness is probably not an existence on the same level as that of the Northern Wei border troops.

In public, the oldest soldiers had only fought more than a year of battles, and some of them had even only been on the battlefield once.

I didn't think anything before, but now I've found that such an army is really hard to carry. It's no longer the silky smoothness of the past, and some of the slippery heads are still not working hard.

Under these factors, when facing several times the enemy, especially the soldiers on the other side, Zhou Chen and Zhou Wencai and others felt tremendous pressure.

Unlike them, the Northern Wei army was an elite border army that had been fighting for many years. Whether it was cooperation with each other or experience on the battlefield, they were much stronger than the soldiers on Zhou Chen's side.

Although Zhou Chen and the others relied on fortifications and gained a little advantage, it was still difficult to stop the Wei army's advance.

The sound of fighting was shrouded in the entire Beishan Mountain, and the defensive fences were pushed down one after another. There were also a layer of corpses in the huge pits. On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides were already red in their eyes.

Some soldiers in different costumes hugged each other, bit each other's necks, and rolled down to the bottom of the mountain. The blood was floating on the sand, and life was passing by.

Over time, a large number of casualties and cruel battlefields have caused the morale of both sides to decline.

In contrast, Zhou Chen is more serious. After all, they are facing elite troops of the Northern Wei border troops, and their willpower is inevitably much lower.

"kill!"

Fortunately, the reinforcements sent by Yang Zong arrived in time, and the reinforcements, led by their respective officers, launched a fierce attack on the Wei army.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was not willing to be outdone. The subsequent troops continued to press forward, and the two sides entered a state of stalemate between the two sides.

The higher the terrain in the mountains, the more steep and complex the roads are. Many terrains are natural passes and it is difficult to deploy more troops. These terrains are well utilized by Zhou Chen and others and arranged troops to guard them.

Relying on these terrains, even if the Wei army gathered in front, they could not move forward due to congestion, and were shot and killed by the archer above.

Often, only after a large amount of casualties can this kind of pass be captured.

But before we could move forward, we could encounter a pass that was not very different. Based on these terrains, the two sides repeatedly tangled and fought, and the blood dyed almost every inch of land below the mountain.

Somewhere along the mountain, Zhou Wencai and his subordinates fought and retreated, and arrived at a narrow mountain road. Zhou Xiaosong rushed out of the mountain road and picked them up, "Brother, leave it to me here, you can rest first!"

"Be careful!"

Zhou Wencai nodded and found a stone to sit down.

From the foot of the mountain to the point where he fought, his physical strength was almost exhausted. The blood on the armor flowed into the gaps of the armor and mixed with sweat. The lining inside became viscous and slippery, emitting a strong fishy smell.

His martial arts are excellent, and his iron armor protects his body. His personal soldiers are fighting to protect him. Although he has experienced fierce battles, he has not suffered any injuries. He just fought here from the foot of the mountain. It has been too long and his body and mind are extremely exhausted.

Not many people were able to retreat with Zhou Wen. Most of them were his personal soldiers. They were all sitting scattered on the ground and gasping for breath.

These personal soldiers were all elite soldiers selected from the army. All of them were experienced soldiers who had gone through the battlefield, but less than half of them were left now. The fierceness of the Wei army was beyond their expectations. In the past or two years, there were not many such tough battles.

Not far away, in front of the narrow mountain road guarded by Zhou Xiaosong and others, a group of Wei soldiers wearing red clothes and holding swords and shields rushed up here.

"call out!"

Zhou Xiaosong pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand, and a crossbow arrow directly hit the Wei soldier in front, but the crossbow arrow was not deeply pierced. The cotton armor on the Wei soldier blocked most of the damage to the crossbow arrow, which was not fatal. He just flashed for a moment and continued to rush towards the mountain road.

Although most ordinary soldiers in the Wei army wore cotton coats, some soldiers wore cotton armor. The key points of these cotton armor were filled with iron pieces, which could block the knife and arrow.

These armored soldiers are often the most elite soldiers of the Wei army. Each of them can fight against one enemy and it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, there are not many Wei soldiers wearing armor, but this does not mean that they are easy to deal with. Although these people do not have armor piercings, they use the shields in their hands to form a small shield array to block the vital points of their bodies.

In addition, there are one or two archers hiding in the shield wall. As long as the people on the mountain road dare to emerge, they will be directly sealed by an arrow. The precise archery technique made Zhou Xiaosong and the others dare not appear easily.

"Hurry, push the stone down!"

Zhou Xiaosong saw the Wei soldiers getting closer and closer through the cracks of the rocks, and quickly ordered.

Behind the mountain road, they had already prepared many huge rocks half a person or even one person high. As long as someone dared to enter the mountain road, these huge rocks would cause him a catastrophe.

The Wei soldier who rushed in the front had no room to dodge in the mountain road, and was crushed from the mountain by the huge rocks rolling down, turning into a corpse. Seeing this scene, the Wei soldier behind him immediately hid and did not dare to move forward rashly.

“Tongshu……………”

As a sound of gold sounded from the bottom of the mountain, the Wei army everywhere in the mountain began to retreat like a tide, but they did not retreat completely, but gathered at the foot of the mountain, obviously preparing to build a simple camp there for renovation.

In this way, the rubber battle that lasted for almost two hours was temporarily over, and both sides began to lick their wounds in preparation for another fight.

Soon, a casualty statistics were sent to Yang Zong. The shocking casualty numbers on it made Yang Zong frown slightly. With the advantage of the geographical advantage, they still fought so hard, and it is conceivable what kind of hard battle they will face next.

"Everyone, take a look. The Wei army is not as good as the Qian army. You must be mentally prepared!"

Yang Zong handed the casualties statistics to the generals in the account to read.

"Why are the casualties so great!"
