Bai Wang had already expected that the little eunuch's all-out attack would be like a violent storm, but when the rain poured down violently, he was still shocked. The offensive was so fierce!
The two armies were fighting fiercely at the foot of the mountain. Countless arrows rained down overhead, mixed with artillery shells. Those who were hit were either dead or maimed. Bai Wang could not even watch the battle, let alone command. There were already corpses lying around the mountain rock.
More than ten people are his personal soldiers and messengers.
This made him very angry, but what made him even more angry was that there were officers and soldiers ambushing him in the back mountain. This was simply an incredible thing!
You have to know how the officers and soldiers got around the vast mountains behind and killed them as soon as the battle started. This means that they have been lurking under your nose, even for several days. It is very scary to think about it.
, you must know that he mobilized hundreds of people to guard the back mountain. He thought he was heavily guarded, but he did not discover this ambush. It is really hateful and infuriating.
In fact, the incompetence of Bai Wang's men cannot be entirely blamed, but the whereabouts of the special forces led by Kuang Ren were too secretive. They were divided into four groups and crossed the mountains and ridges in the valley with careful steps. They did not seek speed but only wanted not to expose their whereabouts. According to the prior agreement,
They had three or four days to lurk and use the sound of cannons as a signal to launch an attack.
After killing a few thieves in Orion Village, I learned from a prisoner that there were two layers of mountains away from the mountain where Bai Wang was, and there was a grand canyon in the middle. They were just the outermost secret sentries. This information made Kuang Ren relax a little.
After a while, they hid a large group of people in the village, and sent several people to the top of the mountain to reconnoiter until dark when they came back to inform them that there were indeed several layers of mountains to the west, and there was a canyon to the west of the mountain.
After making sure that no thieves were hiding here, Kuang Ren climbed up the mountain at night and then went down to the canyon. It was already bright, so he found a shelter to rest and sleep. When it got dark, he climbed up the mountain and cleared the hidden piles. He repeated this day and night, and finally ended up yesterday.
At dawn, I arrived at the valley behind Bai Wang and learned from the prisoners that there were hundreds of bandit troops defending the back mountain, and that the officers and soldiers had not yet launched a general attack.
After discussing with the other three battalions, Kuang Ren decided to wait and move. There were hundreds of rebel troops guarding the back mountain. It was impossible to sneak past secretly. Once the whereabouts were exposed, the rebel army would come to suppress them. Chang Yu's troops would
The attempt to take the unexpected by surprise failed.
So everyone decided to lurk down and launch an attack directly after hearing the sound of cannons. At this moment, they were surprised to find a wild cave that was secretive and cool. Two hundred soldiers hid in it and waited for the signal.
Hundreds of thieves in the back mountain have actually discovered something strange. After all, the outer light and dark sentries have repeatedly lost contact, which means that there must be officers and soldiers operating in the mountain. At the beginning, some people will be sent to investigate in order to find out the truth, but these
The men who were sent out saw that the ghosts in the deep mountains and old forests and barren mountains and wild ridges knew where the officers and soldiers' secret work was hidden. They might lose their lives with a hidden arrow.
So they mostly pretended to walk around the area and reported that they found nothing unusual. In fact, everyone knew very well that no one wanted to go too far and risk danger. In addition, they always thought that it was just a small group of officers and soldiers, no more than ten or dozens of people.
If they can't afford to cause any waves, there are hundreds of people who can just defend the back hill. Let him do whatever he wants on the outside. He doesn't dare to attack anyway, and even if he comes to attack, he won't be afraid of them. After all, no matter the strength of our own troops,
and geographical location have absolute advantages.
But what they didn't expect was that they would regret it for the rest of their lives if they took it lightly.
At midnight, the two armies started fighting, and the sound of killings spread to the sky. Not only did it attract the attention of the bandits in the back mountain, but also the secret sentry outside the cave heard the report and reported to Kuang Ren: "Boss, are we going to fight?".
"It's not yet time." Kuang Ren went outside the cave and listened for a long time. The sound of killing was faint but he didn't hear the sound of cannons. If the officers and soldiers attacked, the Shenji Battalion must be the first to cover it with firepower. The sound of hundreds of cannons would be an earthquake.
, you can hear it clearly even from the top of the mountain.
Kuang Ren returned to the cave and asked his men to prepare for battle. If they heard the sound of cannons, they would immediately rush over from the back mountain and take away Bai Wang's lair. They just waited and waited. When the sound of killings died down at noon, they did not hear the sound of cannons.
.
Although they did not know why they were fighting, the officers and soldiers absolutely did not attack. Looking at the scorching sun in the sky at the entrance of the cave, Kuang Ren speculated that an attack was impossible in such a hot day. Until he suddenly heard the sound of cannons in the afternoon, and when the soldiers were about to come out of the cave to start the battle, they realized something was wrong.
, the gunfire is too sparse, please wait!
However, what is very ironic is that when Kuang Ren and his party were sharpening their knives and preparing to charge, the rebels in the back mountain had no idea that the danger was approaching. Instead, most of them ran to the top of the mountain to watch the fight between the two armies in the west, sometimes excited and sometimes regretful.
An afternoon of preparation finally turned into a clarion call for charge amidst the bursts of gunfire in the evening. Kuang Ren led his troops out of the cave and headed towards the back mountain. It was ridiculous that most of the rebels had gone up to the top of the mountain to watch the battle, and only a small group of soldiers were left.
Some of them were on duty in the back mountain, but most of them were dozing under the shade of the trees. When they found out that the officers and soldiers were coming to kill them, Kuang Ren was already halfway up the mountain. The bandits panicked and hurriedly fought!
The back mountain is steep and densely forested, and bows and arrows are almost useless. Kuang Ren and his troops can only use strong bows. More than 200 warriors attack from three sides, which not only appears to be outnumbered but also disperses the rebel army. The sound of killing fills the mountains and fields. Although the rebel army occupied the high ground, they still
Frightened by its momentum, they cried and shouted in confusion. The thieves who were watching the battle on the top of the mountain hurried forward to fight. However, they saw how many officers and soldiers came all over the mountains and fields. They were frightened and panicked, so they hurriedly hurried to fight.
When he informed Bai Wang, he was scolded like crazy.
There were hundreds of officers and soldiers attacking in the back mountain, which made Bai Wang frightened and frightened. However, compared to the battle at the bottom of the mountain, it was not worth mentioning. The officers and soldiers' artillery and trebuchets were fully fired, completely suppressing the firepower of the rebels.
The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to charge, and thousands of infantrymen poured into the position to fight fiercely. This was the main battlefield that could influence the situation, and it was also where Bai Wang put the most effort.
Under the cover of artillery, the officers and infantry quickly broke through to the first stone wall, and were immediately met with a fierce counterattack by the rebels. Behind the stone wall, there were many rebel archers hiding with their bows and firing rapidly, which slowed down the offensive of the officers and soldiers.
Then thousands of thieves crossed the stone wall to fight the officers and soldiers, and the most brutal fighting finally began.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, officers and soldiers..." A soldier hurried over and was hit by a stone as soon as he opened his mouth. His head was smashed to pieces and he fell straight up several meters away. His brain even collapsed on Bai Wang's face. He was so angry.
Gritting his teeth, he wondered what the soldier was going to report, but at this moment, his attention was entirely on the battlefield below and he had no time to fight with him. He wanted to see how many lines of defense the officers and soldiers could break through.
"Roll the stone down!" Bai Wang glanced at the officers and soldiers. The firepower seemed to be gradually weakening. He was probably afraid of accidentally injuring friendly troops on the battlefield or running out of ammunition. This allowed his firepower position on the mountain to take a breather and start
He drew his bow, shot arrows, and pushed rocks down the mountain without any regard for the friendly troops below.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his side counterattacked, the roar of artillery started again, and the rain-like shells and stones poured down on the mountains again. The rebels were bombarded and fled in all directions. Even Bai Wang had to hide on the rocks close to the mountain.
He was yelling at the wall. It was obvious that the officers and soldiers had transferred all the firepower from the position to the mountains. At this time, the two armies were fighting on the battlefield and it was no longer appropriate to carry out artillery fire. Instead, they used it to suppress the firepower of the rebels. They might even have guessed that they were on top.
, wanting to blow himself up.
That's right, what Chang Yu, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, was most concerned about was not the fighting on the battlefield, but the mountains to the east, where the rebel army's firepower stronghold could cover the entire position and was the biggest threat to the officers and soldiers. Moreover, he concluded that the commander of the rebel army was ten
There are eight or nine people who will be directing there, and if I were there, I would choose a high place to see the overall situation.
So after covering the infantry rushing into the position, he ordered the Shenji Battalion to bombard the mountains with all their guns. Three hundred artillery salvos, nearly a hundred trebuchets, and five hundred bows and arrows rushed to the foot of the mountain.
With full firepower, even if the rebel army occupied the ground, it would be difficult to withstand this wave of attacks. In the blink of an eye, its firepower position was overturned, and it had no power to fight back and no time to attack the officers and soldiers on the battlefield below.
