The first nineteen four chapters of the rock fright

The flame chariot was destroyed and the fire attack method could no longer be carried out. Guo Xu held an emergency meeting to discuss how to attack. Although what happened today was shocking and had some impact on the morale of the officers and soldiers, the war had just begun. Sixteen officers and soldiers
Wan Dajun only lost his skin, but actually his muscles and bones were not injured at all. Therefore, although Guo Xu was depressed and angry, he did not lose confidence.
At the meeting, the generals proposed many attack plans, but they were all rejected by Guo Xu. What Guo Xu wanted was a direct, simple and crude approach, which was to storm the stronghold with the entire army and break it at all costs. With absolute superiority,
use force to overwhelm the opponent.
The generals were speechless. Originally, they tended to divide their forces and make a roundabout way. Now the army has captured the Dongshan Valley and is approaching the opponent's main stronghold. It is a good time for the troops to move north and south and make a roundabout way. The opponent will definitely not be like Bowangpo at this moment.
In general, there is still enough energy left to ambush the intersecting troops and horses. Therefore, if the troops and horses can intersperse to the side of Jiming Mountain and Beida Mountain and launch attacks from three sides at the same time, that should be the best choice. But the emperor does not want to do this.
What to do, what to say, 'Such an unnecessary step will make the bandits think that our officers and soldiers are cowardly.' This is simply unbelievable.
Everyone secretly analyzed that the emperor must be extremely angry in his heart, so angry that he has lost his mind. The army has suffered repeated setbacks since the attack, and the emperor has actually lost patience. A forced attack is not impossible, but there are too many variables in that way.
.The opponent's fortifications on the hillside are densely packed. This tactics is actually unwise. To put it bluntly, it is risking the lives of the soldiers. Even if they succeed in the end, they will have to pay a huge price.
The emperor obviously has no patience anymore. He hopes to resolve the battle quickly and does not want to make any more plans. Moreover, his statement that "using tactics will make the other party think that the officers and soldiers are cowardly" is really strange. Some people privately said
He believed that the Emperor's lack of confidence was a sign of lack of confidence. Obviously, the Emperor's thinking was based on being crushed by Lin Jue's IQ. In his heart, he began to worry that any fancy strategies would be seen through by Lin Jue and lead to more embarrassing consequences. So.
He simply gave up all ideas and only used hard power to fight Lin Jue. Under this situation, Lin Jue's resourcefulness could not give him any advantage.
I have to say that the analysis of these people still makes some sense. Although Guo Xu did not reveal his inner thoughts, he really had no confidence in fighting Lin Jue for resourcefulness. Originally, he was such a conceited person, thinking that he was unparalleled in resourcefulness.
, unmatched by anyone in the world. But after a series of battles with Lin Jue, he finally had the heart to give up, and finally had to admit that it was a mistake to compete with Lin Jue for his IQ and strategy. He should use the method he is good at, simple and crude.
Use behavioral patterns to solve problems. Just like what was done when establishing the crown prince, no plan is as direct as the final means of massacre. In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to do any unrealistic and fancy behavior.
Of course Guo Xu knew the price to pay for forcibly attacking the mountain. It was not that he could not see the layers of layers on the rugged and steep hillside.
It requires a lot of fortifications. But he thinks he can afford the price.
The generals were unable to convince Guo Xu, so they had no choice but to obey orders and prepare for the attack on the hillside. There was no doubt that the military advantage was huge. Therefore, the generals were not particularly frustrated by this. They decided to launch an attack in the late afternoon to try to win the battle.
Capture the opponent's main stronghold before dark.
After the order was issued, the officers and soldiers immediately took action. This time, 30,000 Xiang infantry were the vanguard, and the Forbidden Army mobilized 6,000 bows and arrows as cover. The remaining troops were ready to launch a fierce attack at any time. Although the Xiang generals were reluctant, they
Their existence is cannon fodder, but they are aware of it. The reason why they only launched the attack with more than 30,000 troops is because of the terrain constraints. Attacking with 30,000 troops at the same time is already the limit. The slopes of Beishan are rugged and steep, and they can be attacked.
There are only a dozen hillsides here, so too many soldiers and horses participating in the attack will congest each other, which is counterproductive.
In the late afternoon, war drums were banging and horns were blasting in the valley. Amidst the sound of horns and war drums, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses began a strong attack on the east slope of Dazhai Mountain in Luoyan Valley. It must be said that the officers and soldiers were fully prepared.
Even the soldiers on the side were equipped with standard armor for protection, and the officers and soldiers attacking the mountain each carried a shield.
Six thousand Forbidden Army archers fired arrows continuously at the hillside to suppress them. The soldiers hunched behind their shields and began to climb up the steep hillside. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses were spread all over the hillside below Dongshan, densely packed like a group of soldiers.
They were like a swarm of ants. The hillside that had been burned in the morning was completely bare, and the rocks and ground were still a little hot, but they could no longer stop the opponent's attack.
The attack lasted for a while, and the suppressed bows and arrows had been fired for more than ten rounds. The arrow pots of the Forbidden Army archers had been empty. The soldiers and horses also climbed up hundreds of meters under the cover of rocks and terrain.
Even though he was only a few steps away, he still didn't suffer any blow from the other party. This really made people feel a bit suspicious.
But this also emboldened the attacking soldiers and horses. They began to speed up and rush upward. In front of them was a gentle ridge below the mountainside. If they could rush there, they would complete the first stage of the attack. You can go here
Make some adjustments. According to the pre-arrangement, if we can attack the mountainside, we can allow a large number of archers to move one step closer, and the Forbidden Army's heavy troops and horses will carry the crossbows up the mountainside to attack the more densely packed arrow towers above.
Defeat them one by one.
Although it is a forceful attack, it is obvious that the officers and soldiers will not act too hastily. They have many means at their disposal.
However, just when the attacking soldiers thought they could attack the gentle mountain ridge in one go, the opponent's long-awaited counterattack arrived. Countless heads emerged from the stone fortifications above, and arrows poured down like rain.
Then, it poured down on the crowd attacking the mountain, dense and fierce.
Fortunately, the soldiers were mentally prepared. They immediately shrank behind their shields and hid behind rocks. Although this round of arrow rain was fierce, it did not cause much damage to the soldiers. The shields and the terrain allowed them to avoid being attacked.
The fate of being shot like a hedgehog. A hail of arrows came down, only dozens of people were killed and more than a hundred injured. To the 30,000 soldiers attacking the mountain, this was just a superficial wound, and there would be no trace of it at all.
blocking effect.
"Kill,
Charge." The leading general shouted, and while the arrows were falling, the soldiers rushed up from behind the rocks for more than ten steps, and then hid among the rocks.
This is exactly the method of attacking mountains that I have been training for the past month. The tactic of leaping forward and leaping forward is used. In the gap between the opponent's attacks, attack upward with an inch forward approach. You can approach the enemy step by step. Finally, you can rush up in one go, and
The purpose of engaging the enemy in hand-to-hand combat is to engage in hand-to-hand combat. This tactic is more effective on the slopes of Dongshan Mountain, because there are objects that can be avoided as far as the eye can see on this slope. The opponent's arrow firepower is not fierce, and it seems that there are only thousands of people scattered in ten areas.
There are several attack points. The number of people is seriously insufficient.
After several leaps of frog, the officers and soldiers had approached less than twenty steps below the opponent's fortifications. If the terrain were not steep, these twenty steps would be enough to rush up with the opponent's attack. But after all, it was a steep hillside, so the leading general decided
They rushed up in two steps. After occupying the opponent's fortifications, they initially seized control of the mountainside below and could prepare for subsequent battles.
"Charge!" After the sparse rain of arrows, the leading general issued the order.
All the soldiers jumped out from behind the rocks and rushed upwards, shouting. But at this moment, a shrill sound of bamboo whistles came from above. The moment the bamboo whistles sounded, the tall fortification walls above suddenly collapsed in sight.
, a long fortification wall made of random rocks suddenly turned into rocks rolling down all over the mountains and plains. Smoke and dust were everywhere on the hillside, like a flood coming from the hillside, and it rushed into the attack in the blink of an eye.
In the formation of the soldiers.
The boulders collided with each other, flying out countless gravels. There were choking smoke and stone chips everywhere. After the rolling stones hit the unstable stones on the hillside, they were trapped in them and tumbled down. Looking from a distance,
It seemed as if half of the hillside below was being driven by rolling stones and rolling and pouring.
The result can be imagined. Under the torrent of rocks, the soldiers on the hillside were in bad luck. Shields can protect against arrows, but they cannot prevent falling rocks. Behind the rocks is a safe hiding place, but it is the most unsafe at the moment.
On such a steep hillside, even if a fist-sized stone rolls down from a height of twenty or thirty steps and hits your body, it will definitely be enough for you to drink a pot.
What's more, it was a huge boulder the size of a millstone rolling down the mountain, mixed with many stones of different sizes.
The soldiers who rushed at the front were the first to bear the brunt. The huge boulder hit them, knocking them upside down and rolling down like wooden dolls. Many people tried to escape, and they jumped to show their agility, but this was doomed to be in vain.
Yes, if you hide from the first grade of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth grade. If you hide from this stone, you can't hide from the other ones. Each one was hit with broken tendons and fractures, and was rolled down among the rocks.
More soldiers concentrated on their wits. They leaned closely together, put up their shields and huddled on the ground, trying to escape by relying on the shields and their own strength. But it was obviously not wise to do so. Small stones
Of course, they couldn't be hurt, but the wooden shields in their hands couldn't resist the falling boulders. As the wooden shields fell apart, they were crushed by the boulders and turned into a bloody mess.
