"Prepare grenades, target, the groove of the stone beam ahead. Leave no one behind!" Gao Songlin roared and gave the order.
Although the hundreds of throwers didn't know what they meant, the Luoyan Army had strict military discipline, and the soldiers abided by the military discipline unambiguously. Even if they were ordered to climb up the knife mountain or jump into the sea of fire, they must be obeyed.
There was a clanging sound, and hundreds of smoking melon grenades rolled down into the ravine next to the mountain ridge. The next moment, an earth-shattering explosion sounded, and a row of mud and rocks and smoke columns rose into the sky twenty steps away from the hillside.
As it rose, smoke and dust filled the air, and rocks scattered like rain.
The ears of the Luoyan Army defenders on the hillside were ringing, and they were almost deafened by the shock. Because the distance was too close, the flying gravel and smoke even affected the Luoyan Army defenders in the fortifications above the hillside. If it weren't for the shortcomings,
The wall fortifications were used as shelter, and I was afraid that something big was going to happen. Fortunately, everyone huddled behind the fortification walls to avoid the rain of falling stones, so a large number of soldiers were not injured. Even so, many Luoyan Army soldiers still had their ears and noses shaken.
They were bleeding and hundreds of people were injured by stones.
The Jurchen soldiers who were attacking dozens of steps below the ridge were also shocked, but the grenades did not fall among them, which surprised them. The smoke screen rising above obscured their sight, and they could not understand the situation.
It looked like a big explosion had occurred in the opponent's fortifications on the hillside.
"Did they blow themselves up?" Many people thought in their minds, which was very surprising and strange.
The smoke slowly dissipated. Gao Songlin raised his head from behind the fortifications and looked blankly at the black smoke rising from the mountain ridge below. There was no movement at all. Gao Songlin was dumbfounded. The situation he was most worried about appeared. He took the risk
The attempt turned out to be a joke? I used the remaining more than a thousand melon grenades in vain, but did not kill any enemy? Isn't this a big joke? I am too stupid, why did I lose my head?
Want to take such a risk? I'm afraid I'll have to die to apologize.
Gao Songlin was confused and extremely depressed. All the Luoyan Army defenders were also dumbfounded. Could it be that General Gao was possessed by evil spirits? Why did he issue such an order? This is good. He will kill the enemy with great force in the end.
We have no firearms, so we have to fight hand to hand. What is General Gao doing? What is he thinking? If Gao Songlin was not a veteran figure in the army and highly respected, he would probably be suspected of deliberately collaborating with the enemy.
Deliberately consuming your own firearms is doing the enemy a favor.
Gao Songlin's eyes were red, and his lips were bleeding from biting them. He pulled out the Greedy Wolf sword from his waist and said nothing. He decided that he would take practical actions to wash away his shame. He would kill the enemy himself in a while and would not look back until he died.
.Otherwise, you will not be able to forgive yourself.
"Boom!" Suddenly another grenade exploded belatedly under the ridge below. It was a grenade with a fuse that was too tight and burned a little slowly. By coincidence, it happened to be stuck on a rock.
In the crevice, when other grenades exploded, it was not affected. It only slowly burned out the fuse in the crevice, and then it exploded.
With this explosion, the enemy and our troops up and down the hillside suddenly felt the mountain begin to shake slightly, and then they heard a huge cracking sound. Then, a shocking and incredible scene appeared. Only the hillside was visible.
below
A huge rock at the site of the last explosion is beginning to disintegrate and collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye. This rock was originally intact, but in fact it has been severely damaged and is about to collapse. The last exploding grenade gave
The last straw was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.
The next scene was even more shocking. As that piece of rock collapsed, the huge rocks on the nearby mountain ridge also began to collapse. In less than ten breaths, it turned into a big collapse.
A mountain ridge that was originally composed of rugged rocks was already crumbling after being bombarded by thousands of grenades, but it had not yet collapsed. At this moment, if a single move affects the whole body, the collapse of a huge boulder on the mountain ridge is enough to cause the damage on both sides to collapse.
Then came the collapse. The scene was like the end of the world, with the mountain shaking and the ground shaking.
Countless earth, rocks, shrubs and dwarfs were swept down by it, rushing down the hillside like a flash flood. Smoke and dust billowed, gravel flew, and there was a roaring sound. The ground shook even more violently. The Jurchen soldiers and horses below witnessed the entire scene.
The collapse of the hillside and the rolling down of mud and rocks made everyone scream out in fright. This scene was too terrifying and human power could not resist it. At this time, except for the frightened people, people with a little common sense
Everyone knew they had to run away quickly.
"Run away." Someone shouted in terror. The next moment, all the Jurchen soldiers on the hillside turned around and ran away down the hillside. Even the generals and leaders who were supervising the battle also joined the ranks of fleeing for their lives. Because
They know that the collapse of the mountain is different from the previous situation of huge rocks rolling down. It is a large-scale collapse that will bury everyone in the mud and rocks. Trying to show off at this time is tantamount to seeking death. So.
, Escape is the only option.
The mud and rocks rolled down, bringing up more rocks and debris along the way. They soon overtook and buried a large number of Jurchen soldiers, and continued to flow down like a waterfall, carrying more rocks and debris.
Spread to a larger area.
The Jurchen soldiers rolled on the hillside, screaming loudly, and running away in despair. Behind them were the rolling mudslides chasing them. Many people were swallowed up by the smoke and mudstones as they ran, and were buried in the rocks and dust.
中. Frightened screams echoed throughout the mountains and fields.
The Jurchen soldiers and horses on the west hillside also began to evacuate like a collapse as the mud and rocks on the hillside collapsed. Countless Jurchen soldiers were swallowed up in the mud and rocks, and there were countless casualties.
Fortunately for the Jurchens, this was not a collapse of the entire mountain ridge. After all, the power of grenades was not enough to loosen all the rocks on the mountain ridge, and the impact area of the collapse was less than 300 steps wide, covering only the west
In the middle section of the slope. Therefore, the large number of soldiers and horses on both sides were not actually threatened by the mud and rocks. However, the power was enough to frighten them. Of course, they were also worried that the mountain above them would collapse, so they turned around and fled down the slope.
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops quickly!"
Alibai, who was supervising the battle at the foot of the hillside, looked pale and frightened, yelling and cursing loudly, and then retreated further away.
The mudslide rushed down wildly and rushed to the grassland at the foot of the hillside. It rushed for more than a hundred steps before it collapsed like a wounded and violent beast.
On the ground, smoke and dust filled the air, covering the sky and the sun, and lingered for a long time.
…
Above the pass, a hand-to-hand battle was going on brutally not long ago. Due to the shortage of grenades, after hundreds of grenades were used up but failed to stop the opponent's attack, Gao Muqing and Bai Bing led the nine thousand troops at the pass.
They rushed towards the Jurchen soldiers and started a bloody hand-to-hand fight.
Gao Muqing and Bai Bing joined forces side by side. One flew lightly in the air to assassinate, and the other slashed with his sword on the ground. The two women's cooperation was flawless. The two rushed to the front, rushing back and forth among the Jurchen soldiers.
The heads of those killed were flowing like rivers of blood, and those who were killed were invincible. The Jurchen soldiers initially besieged them, but later they hurriedly avoided them when they saw the two men coming to kill them, and did not dare to fight against them.
Except for the two women, the rest of the Luoyan Army soldiers have encountered strong enemies. The Luoyan Army soldiers who stayed in the mountains are all the leftover soldiers. They cannot be said to be old and weak soldiers, but they are not elite among the Luoyan Army.
In addition, 10,000 of the soldiers and horses participating in the battle were reserve regiment training horses, which was much lower than the regular Luoyan Army. This time, these 10,000 soldiers and horses were dispersed before the war and rushed into the regular army because they were worried about them.
They cannot stand alone. Therefore, about 20% of the Luoyan Army soldiers around Gao Muqing and Bai Bing are weaker regiment-trained troops. When they first entered the battlefield, they were obviously no match for the Jurchens.
Therefore, the Jurchens took advantage of their flexibility in hand-to-hand combat to take the initiative from the beginning. The Luoyan Army defenders fell countless times, and they were quite likely to be completely defeated by their opponents. If Gao Muqing and Bai Bing hadn't crossed the battlefield like ghosts to kill the enemy,
It has served as a deterrent, fearing that a collapse might really occur. The combat formation of the Three-Three Formation that the Luoyan Army usually trains cannot be used at the pass because the formation is too dense, with nearly 20,000 people crowded above the pass. This kind of
Melee combat depends entirely on momentum, courage and experience. The former is not lacking, but in terms of experience, the Luoyan Army is still lacking.
Fortunately, there are still backbones in the army. The long-term training and edification of the Luoyan Army is not in vain. The martial arts of Gao Muqing and Bai Bing also have the effect of frightening the enemy and stabilizing the situation, so the overall battle situation is in a state of anxiety.
There were many casualties on both sides, and they were gritting their teeth to support. But for the Luoyan Army, exchanging troops was obviously not a good idea, because the other side had far more troops than our own. What's more, Gao Muqing was worried.
There are battle conditions on the hillsides on both sides.
When a big explosion occurred on the western slope, nearly half of the 9,000 people who defended the pass had been killed or injured. Bai Bing and Gao Muqing were already covered in blood. The situation was already very critical. The huge explosion made both sides of the war a little confused. Gao Muqing was a little puzzled.
If the grenades on the slope were thrown like this, all of them would be gone at once. When it comes time to throw grenades like this, the situation may become more urgent. It is estimated that the enemy has already reached the top of the mountain. But what Yalu Buhua is horrified is that the opponent is like this
With so many firearms, I don’t know if I can attack them, and I don’t know how many casualties there will be. I have to break through the pass, and maybe I can’t count on the hillsides on both sides to break through. Fortunately, the situation here is favorable, and victory is in sight.
However, not long after, the ground on the western slope roared and shook, mud and rocks flew everywhere, and smoke and dust blocked the sun. Gao Muqing and Yalu Buhua unanimously ordered to break off the battle and stop.
