The first thousand four hundred and ninety-six chapters rich can make ghosts grind
|||->->"Otherwise, we'll trap them to death!" Li Jing noticed that Wang Junlin didn't seem to be in any hurry to capture Huangshi Village, and he had a vague suspicion, so he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why don't you send troops to block their way down the mountain? , we went to attack Fengyang City on our own. Attacking here is a narrow mountain road. Our trebuchet can't use the gunpowder packets fired by us, but Fengyang City is different. As long as we capture Fengyang City, everything will be broken. The food and grass from Huangshi Village will trap Cheng Yaojin to death on Huangshi Village."
Shen Guoer was a little annoyed that Li Jing always looked confident, and said calmly: "How can we trap them to death? There is a stream on this Huangshi Village, so there is no need to worry about water sources, and there are sufficient food reserves. Even if there is no food, there will be no food in this mountain." , is there a lot of food for them? We only have less than 50,000 troops here, and this amount of troops cannot stop them at all. What's more, these Wagang Army soldiers are also considered elites, whether they are Cheng Yaojin or Xu Shiji, They won’t look at us without taking any countermeasures.”
Li Jing was silent. How could he not know what Shen Guoer said? He just said that because he saw that Wang Junlin deliberately delayed the attack on Huangshi Village, as if he had another purpose or deep meaning, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't figure it out. In addition to the two purposes he mentioned, Wang Junlin could not have any deeper meaning for procrastinating like this, so he said these words to test.
It's a pity that Wang Junlin has too many smart people under his command. His probing words actually sound very reasonable and even insightful to ordinary people, but Shen Guoer, a prostitute, easily found a lot of loopholes.

There was no fighting all afternoon, but the people under Li Shanfei's command were very enthusiastic. From the captains to the ordinary soldiers, they were having a heated discussion on how to break through the enemy's second level while minimizing their own losses.
Cheng Yaojin in Huangshi Village did not dare to take it lightly. The opponent had just paid a high price to win the first level, but suddenly stopped the attack. This can only mean that when the opponent launches another attack, he will definitely It will be more intense and more difficult than last time.
Putting aside the personal arrival of the Poison King, Wang Junlin, judging from the conduct of the Far Eastern Army in the past, he would never believe that the Far Eastern Army would retreat in distress. This was not the style of the Far Eastern Army according to the intelligence they had gathered.
That night, Cheng Yaojin didn't sleep well. He sent people several times to give orders to Li Hu, the guard at the second pass, telling them to be careful and requiring Li Hu to patrol the pass wall every half an hour.
According to the intelligence information they had, it was not unprecedented for soldiers of the Far Eastern Army to attack checkpoints at night, especially since he also knew that the Far Eastern Army had a special operations brigade. It was said that these people were the best at attacking and stealing cities at night.
What if the special operations brigade of the Far Eastern Army came up in the dark and lost it in a daze?
Level, that's a joke, the consequences are disastrous.
However, there was no movement at the Far Eastern Army camp all night long. Cheng Yaojin could vaguely see that the Far Eastern Army camp on the left was brightly lit and noisy for most of the night.
In the early morning, as soon as the white fish belly appeared on the horizon, Cheng Yaojin was awakened by the sound of attacking drums and trumpets.
At the second pass, guard Li Hu jumped up and strode up the wall. The soldiers under his command were already in full formation, and the stone balls that could kill a large number of opponents had already been pushed to the predetermined position. They only waited for him to give the order. Go down.
The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who launched the attack from the first checkpoint were different from yesterday. A strange-looking railing made of giant wood was slowly pushed forward by rows of soldiers. On both sides were several feet long bowls.
On top of the tree poles, tree poles cut as thick as a bowl are connected every one or two meters, and layers of soft nets made of hemp rope are tied in the middle.
With just one glance, Li Hu understood that the opponent had designed this thing to target their defensive rolling stones. The giant tree blocked the first wave of attacks, and then layers of soft nets could make the impact of the rolling stones invisible one by one. This method
It's very stupid, and the advancement speed is extremely slow, but it is very effective, at least it can greatly reduce casualties.
Originally, in this kind of terrain, rolling rocks and hitting trees was the most effective means of killing, which could kill a large number of the Far Eastern Army's active forces, and the death was extremely miserable. Many were even crushed to pieces with bloody flesh, leaving only a piece of skin.
Initially, it was a huge blow to the morale of the Far Eastern Army, but now the opponent's stupid method can minimize casualties.
"The situation is getting worse and worse!" Li Hu cursed. He originally wanted to wait until the enemy reached the middle of the attack and then release the stones to kill as many enemies as possible. But now that was no longer possible. He could only extend the rolling distance of the stone bullets.
Increase the intensity of the impact.
"Let go!" He ordered through gritted teeth.
Several stone bullets bounced down the narrow mountain road following his orders, and the speed became faster and faster. The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army stopped advancing, shouted, and stopped the blockade in the middle of the road.
withstand.
There was a loud noise, and the blocking wood in front was broken. The huge impact caused the two soldiers supporting the front to fly backwards. Blood spurted from their mouths in the air, and they could no longer survive.
The soldier watched helplessly as the stone bullet broke through one blockade, broke the second blockade, tore through the second blockade, and finally bounced a few times before stopping in front of the third blockade.
The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army cheered, and the losses suffered this time were minimal.
The soldiers behind carried the new blocking wood and moved up quickly. The blocked stone bullets were quickly pushed to the side of the road. A group of soldiers from the engineering and transport camp swarmed up, hammering and nailing them with skillful movements.
The blockade was repaired in a few clicks, and dozens of soldiers carried it, followed by the soldiers in front and rushed upward.
Seeing that the method worked, Li Shanfei, who was standing at the first checkpoint and looking up, took a long breath. As long as he could successfully attack the second checkpoint and engage in hand-to-hand combat, he believed that no one could stop him.
Their Far Eastern Army attacked in close combat.
When Cheng Yaojin came to Huangshi Village, his face was so gloomy that he could drip with water. However, the battlefield situation had undergone a huge change, and their terrain advantage was suddenly lost.
On the wall of the second pass, Li Hu kept giving orders to roll down the logs and rolling stones while preparing for the enemy's siege. The Wagang Army soldiers on the pass also became nervous. Compared with yesterday's attack on the first pass,
The enemy clearly learned their lesson from the situation during the checkpoint.
Li Hu was about to order a few more rolling stones to be released at once. There was a burst of cheers at the level, but a stone bullet was bounced by a boulder. It suddenly jumped up, flew into the air, crossed the barrier, and rolled wildly.
Go down and bring out a stream of blood among the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army.
But this kind of accident happened only once. Li Hu only took one look and knew that the situation was serious and ordered: "Every time two stone bullets are fired at the same time, I don't believe that their blockade can stop them.
"
………
"If the second level cannot be defended for more than three days, we will probably lose this battle miserably, and Huangshi Village will not be able to defend it." On the Huangshi Village, Cheng Yaojin's expression became more and more serious, but his eyes
A fierce look flashed across his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if the Far East Army can finally attack, they will suffer heavy casualties."
"Come here, send two thousand more people to the second pass, pack all the money in the village into boxes, and carry it down. Those who fight bravely will be rewarded on the spot. Tell Li Hu that I will let him reward all the money within three days."
To the brave men below who dare to die and fight." Cheng Yaojin knew very well that a brave man must be rewarded with a heavy reward, and he acted decisively.
Money makes the world go round. This sentence itself is naturally exaggerated and untrue, but the meaning it reflects is very sharp and correct.
The effect of money cannot be ignored in any era and in any situation. The morale of the Wagang Army at the second pass soared. They blocked the Far East Army in a close combat. Even though they suffered heavy casualties, they refused to give in and forced Li Shanfei's men to pay.
It cost a lot, but failed to overcome the second pass in half a day.
At this point, Li Shanfei's ten thousand people have all taken turns to go to the battlefield, and they have also lost about two thousand people. Their expressions and temperaments are obviously different from before they went to the battlefield. That is because they have experienced hell, almost died on the battlefield, or watched
The changes after the companion died before his eyes but could do nothing.
