Chapter 116 The slope is blocked

Although Bei Gong Boyu's operation can be regarded as a mobilization operation, some of his generals have regained their belief in continuing to fight, but at the moment Bei Gong Boyu still knows that it is best not to confront Xiang Yu head-on.

Fighting hard, as the saying goes, it will be exhausted again and again, but at least he still has the basic fighting spirit.

This is when Xiang Yu's momentum is at its most ferocious, and it is impossible to compete with him. Even if his soldiers regain some fighting spirit, they may still be in vain in front of Xiang Yu, so they still have to focus on defense and wait for the opportunity.

, if our side can hold on for a while longer and survive Xiang Yu's initial fierce attack, it will not be too late to counterattack when the vigor of Xiang Yu's troops has been reduced.

So Beigong Boyu and his soldiers formulated a series of combat plans to stick to their positions. They mentioned that they should not easily engage in active combat with Xiang Yu's main force at any time. Those who can take advantage of the terrain must stick to their advantageous positions.

superior.

Beigong Boyu's generals basically accepted his battle plan. After all, their lives were their own. Who among them has the confidence to rush out and fight Xiang Yu in full force? What's the difference between that and giving away someone's life?

Well.

At this time, Xiang Yu led his troops to the front of the defender's defensive position. At this time, Xiang Yu didn't know how to release the anger in his chest, so he cursed Beigong Boyu and his generals in front of the formation.

Xiang Yu's momentum when he curses is very strong. If he were scolded face to face by Xiang Yu for a while, he would either be scolded to the point where he could not hold his head up at all, or else he would be scolded to the point of being equally angry.

But Beigong Boyu and his generals, who were hiding behind the fortifications, acted as if nothing happened after hearing Xiang Yu's scolding. It seemed that they had no temper at all, or rather they did not dare to have any temper at all.

, why don’t you let others scold you if your skills are not as good as others?

Xiang Yu cursed for a long time, but saw no response from Beigong Boyu, not even a general came out to respond. Originally, Xiang Yu scolded quite happily, and his anger subsided a little, but at this time, he

I felt that these guys were hiding from me on purpose and might not have heard my curse at all, so a brand new anger suddenly rushed into my heart. Dang even stopped cursing, and instead rode his horse, raised his gun, and waved his troops.

attack.

In fact, Wuwei City lacks tall and solid city walls, but the defenders still have some important terrain to rely on. One of the important advantages lies in the geological structure and soil composition here. Beigong Boyu's

The defenses on both sides are built on the top of a long downhill slope with a certain slope. The entire slope itself is not particularly steep. It stands to reason that the attacker can advance smoothly on this slope, but the real problem lies in the slope.

The soil on the surface is very soft, mixed with a large amount of gravel and clay.

The former will easily lead to slipping under dry weather, which greatly increases the difficulty of climbing the slope. A little carelessness will cause slipping under the feet and fall down, and may bring down friendly forces behind, while the latter will cause the user to slip when being attacked.

After getting wet, mud pits and sinking conditions will appear, making it easy for the attacker to fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate themselves.

Although many places near Wuwei City are very dry, and there are large areas of desert in the north, large-scale rainfall sometimes occurs. Such sudden heavy rains can wipe out the clay on the entire battlefield in a short period of time.

It becomes a quagmire and becomes a nightmare for the attacker.

When Xiang Yu launched his attack today, patches of dark clouds were floating in the sky from not far away. The weather here changed very quickly. It might have been cloudless and fine half a day ago, but half a day later the sky was already full of clouds.

Dark clouds were threatening to overwhelm the city. At this time, Xiang Yu had obviously noticed the dark clouds coming from the sky, but he had not yet realized what these dark clouds might mean.

At the same time, the terrain of this slope is also very convenient for the defender to use some rolling stones or rolling logs as defensive weapons to launch attacks from top to bottom. Once those heavy rolling stones or rolling logs have a long enough accelerated rolling distance and a certain slope, they will become

It becomes a very powerful defensive weapon, and one can cause huge damage to the attacker.

Although the terrain at the northern bridgehead is far less dangerous than that at the southern bridgehead, when the rebels under Beigong Boyu deployed their full defense, they were still able to make a lot of use of the terrain. The key is that Xiang Yu actually lacks the ability to understand this kind of terrain.

With his experience in defending terrain, he seemed to have underestimated the defensive capabilities of this defensive position. Therefore, when leading his army to attack, Xiang Yu failed to make some arrangements and preparations in advance.

So in the actual offensive operation, Xiang Yu found that it was really difficult to attack this long slope section. He himself was almost hit by a big stone rolling down from above. If it hadn't been for his

His skills were sharp enough, and anyone else would have been smashed into pieces on the spot.

When those huge rolling stones roll from a distance, it is easy for people to underestimate their actual rolling speed, because it will have a continuous accelerating process, and often the speed is not very fast when they are a little far away at first.

When they roll closer, the speed will be very fast, and once the distance is relatively close, it will be difficult to avoid them, because people often underestimate their size. A stone that is not thought to be that big turns out to be bigger.

A big stone is taller than a whole person.

Of course, it's not just the big rocks that are taller than people that can kill people. Stones that are much smaller than these are also enough to directly break a person's waist at extremely fast speeds, or directly smash a person's head.

If it hits the door at a high speed, it will be difficult for that person to survive.

When Xiang Yu kept seeing some of the soldiers around him being smashed to pieces by these large or small rolling stones, he realized how terrifying these rolling stones were and how lucky he was just now, so Xiang Yu

In desperation, we could only temporarily withdraw from the army.

Xiang Yu's troops could only retreat to camp near the bridgehead. It was already past noon, and the winter sun broke through a space in the middle of a dark cloud, and it could still bring a certain temperature when it shined.

The soldiers were all making fires to cook on the spot, but Xiang Yu didn't have any appetite. This long slope didn't look very long or steep, but it was very difficult to climb during the attack. This feeling would be felt if you just stood there.

It is difficult to truly understand it from the sidelines. Only by standing there in person and feeling the huge load brought by the earth's gravity on people can we understand that it takes great strength and willpower to overcome this difficulty.

of.

Xiang Yu was thinking about whether there was a better way to defeat the enemy.
