Zhang Yi raised his crossbow and aimed at the unfamiliar commander.
Commander Dulin thought he was safe. No one could shoot an arrow 400 meters away. He sat upright on his horse and looked at the red coal fire on the mountain road in surprise. The opponent had a strategic master. He realized this and even prepared it in advance.
Be prepared.
How could this happen? He was extremely confused.
The flag bearer stood beside him, revealing his position and identity.
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow came through the air, penetrated Commander Du's armor, and pierced his left arm. With a cry of pain, Commander Du fell off his horse.
This is a warning, no one within the range can survive.
Commander Du endured the severe pain and ordered the entire army to retreat to a safe area.
He took a breath. Not only was the opponent prepared, but he also had a powerful crossbow. If he attacked forcefully, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.
…
"What a pity, brother, I almost shot the opponent's coach to death." Shi Gandang said regretfully.
"I didn't take the wind speed into account," Zhang Yi said. The northwest wind was still very strong in spring and the arrow deviated from the direction.
"Brother Yi, will they be scared away?" Shi Yu asked.
"No, this unit has certain combat effectiveness," Zhang Yi judged, "They will launch a fierce attack."
Zhang Yi asked the warriors not to be dazzled by the small victory in front of them, and not to lean out and yell and curse, which was what bandits did in the past. Everyone should protect themselves, use the gaps between battles to replenish stones and coal, and seize the time
Restore physical strength.
There is bound to be a fierce battle.
Sure enough, Commander Dulin was furious. After the military doctor pulled out the arrow and bandaged his wound, he summoned his officers and issued a fatal order to conquer the mountain.
He did not accept Zhang Yi's warning. It was clear that thousands of people would be killed by arrows, but Commander Du believed that the other party's arrows were insufficient and did not dare to use them all.
The catapult launched another fierce attack, ejecting thousands of projectiles, covering the mountains and fields.
Our warriors hid in caves and tunnels and suffered very few losses.
After the projectiles were lit up, the sky became bright.
Soot smoke and soil fog enveloped the entire mountain, and the mountain was completely silent.
All killed?
The charge horn sounded, and armored gun and shield men shouted and rushed towards the mountain. They were all fully protected, with only a pair of eyes exposed. They were not afraid of arrows and could withstand falling rocks. Some people carried buckets of water and poured water on them.
A path is formed on the burning coal.
This time, waiting for them were Zhang Yi armed with a dragon stick, an enraged Shi Gandang, and 300 heavy infantrymen from the Black Bear Regiment.
"Final warning, withdraw your troops, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Yi roared, his roar calm and shocking, like the roar of a lion.
"I am Shi Gandang from Zhensan Mountain. Come and die if you want!" Shi Gandang shouted while holding an iron-handled eight-edged hammer horizontally. Anyone who ignores him will taste the bitter fruit.
"Come on, destroy these bandits!" the officer supervising the battle shouted sharply.
Thousands of people rushed forward densely, with spears like a forest, and the shield wall was indestructible. They had the momentum to capture the top of the mountain in one breath.
Shi Yu and others beat the war drums, and the sound of the drums was heart-stirring and earth-shattering.
Zhang Yi waved his Panlong stick, took the lead in charging down, fired his spear, and hit a shield with his shoulder, forcing a gap.
Shi Gandang, Liao Fan and others were going crazy at first sight. The sworn brothers were so brave, how could the brothers fall behind? Everyone roared and rushed down desperately. It was like a torrent pouring down from the mountain, unstoppable.
Boom! The strong armor and shield collided together, sounding like thunder.
Crash! Many people were knocked to the ground and rolled down the mountain.
Yes, on such steep terrain, the power of weapons is far less than the impact. Shi Gan is as tall as a man, as if he has turned into a huge boulder, and no one can carry it.
Commander Du's men were defeated and were in dire condition.
Rushing to the foot of the mountain in one breath, Zhang Yi ordered to stop the charge.
Without the protection of the terrain, these hundreds of people would be surrounded by the opponent's superior forces and fall into a deadly battle.
Very smart, Zhang Yi led his brothers back to the mountainside.
Liao Fan led the warriors to seize many armors and weapons. First, he armed the elite men of the Black Bear Regiment and replaced the crude farm tools.
…
Commander Du was angry and anxious. His troops were invincible on the plains and had brilliant achievements in siege battles. Unexpectedly, the 50,000-strong army was blocked by this mountain and could not use its strength.
Seeing that his big promise of conquering the mountain pass in one day was about to come to nothing, Commander Du became angry and ordered his troops to take turns to take the mountain top at all costs.
In this way, they charged again and again and were repulsed again and again.
Both sides were stunned.
As night fell, torches were lit and the fierce battle continued until dawn.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and the smell of death. Both sides used all kinds of force. Arrows shuttled back and forth, weapons broke out, armors became pitted, and everyone was covered in blood.
This is a fight of flesh and blood, but also a battle of wills.
During this period, Xiaolong sent a thousand warriors to support Wanchun Village. This new force played a huge role and stabilized the position.
The battle lasted for three full days and nights.
Harsh shouts and clashing weapons resounded throughout the battlefield, and the cold battlefield was like a hell on earth. Blood, scorched earth, soot and the smell of death mixed together, making people numb and turning them into cruel killing machines.
The soldiers of Greater China were divided into groups. In addition to attacking the mountain road, many others climbed the steep rock walls and tried to get around to the rear. Unexpectedly, there were people defending on the top of the mountain, throwing stones downwards and shooting sharp arrows, making the attackers ineffective.
And return.
There is only a narrow mountain road, and the mountain walls hundreds of meters high on both sides are insurmountable. Relying on the natural dangers, Zhang Yi, Shi Gandang and others firmly held their position.
No one on both the offensive and defensive sides was willing to take a step back, and everyone put life and death aside. The level of tragedy was beyond description as thrilling. Someone fell down amidst screams every second.
The fire was blazing, and the mountainous area was scorched. Corpses were piled up in mountains, and blood flowed down from the mountain, forming a terrible stream.
At first glance, there are only black and red colors, only the confrontation between iron and fire.
Commander Du personally led the death squads to charge, but they were repulsed by the fierce defenders.
Now Commander Du knows who his opponent is, it's Zhang Yi!
Zhang Yi's black armor was stained with bright red blood, and he kept waving the Panlong stick in his hand, seemingly with endless strength. And his brother Shi Gandang was beating crazy. The people who rushed in front of him,
They were all beaten out.
Suddenly, Commander Du's determination to win was shaken. This was the first time in his war history. He had never encountered such a tenacious opponent. They fought fiercely for three days and three nights and were still vigorous. Could it be that they were invincible?
?
Commander Du's will collapsed.
He had to admit his failure. He conquered the mountain pass in one day and Mopan City in three days. This plan was completely bankrupt.
