"Stop the bleeding and send him down quickly!" Du Fuwei grabbed the musket, "The rest of you, follow me!"
Starting from the foot of the mountain, there have been such ambushes and traps more than once.
The Han army also suffered a reduction of dozens of men.
This attrition is not because all the soldiers were killed or injured. In fact, there are only about ten wounded soldiers. However, the wounded soldiers have to be transported down quickly. The mountain road is rugged and difficult. Sometimes it is not easy for two people to transport a wounded soldier down.
, even three people are needed to do it, so non-combat attrition is increasing.
This is also the purpose of Linyi people.
"Boss, leave me alone and lead the brothers forward!" the wounded soldier shouted through gritted teeth.
"What are you talking about?" Du Fuwei waved his hand, and two soldiers had already picked him up. "The imperial court has trained you, let you wear red clothes, and pick up muskets. It is not for you to take your lives as a trifling matter. Enemy
The camp can be attacked again, but life cannot be spared. If you can still save your leg in time, get out of here!"
Watching the wounded soldier being carried off without a word, Du Fuwei picked up his musket and looked at Feng Xi behind him: "Can you use it?"
"Probably." Feng Xi nodded.
"Take it!" Du Fuwei handed it to him, turned around and said, "Let's keep going!"
Fu Gong raised his gun, took three steps and then two steps to pass Du Fuwei, rushing ahead.
Du Fuwei laughed and scolded, and followed him.
Feng Xi looked at the crowds of people in red uniforms of the Han army in front of him, and took a deep breath. These people seemed not to be afraid of death, and even looked down upon it. Feng Xi originally didn't know what was supporting them.
It seems to be vaguely understood now.
The old lady did nothing wrong in letting the Feng family submit to the rule of the Han Dynasty.
This should be the most correct decision made by the Feng family.
Being an enemy of these fearless guys is no different from seeking death.
Feng Xi is honored to fight alongside them.
After splitting the thorns ahead, we can already see the camp on the mountain.
The people in Linyi who also discovered them fired arrows one after another.
Du Fuwei and Fu Gong looked at each other and quickened their pace.
Arrows flew past them, and their pace became faster and faster.
"Bang bang!" The sound of muskets sounded around them, and some Han soldiers were already firing their guns impatiently. The distance was a bit far, and aiming would not have any effect. They could only hit the wall aimlessly, causing a burst of excitement.
A burst of sawdust.
However, Lin Yi's crossbowmen did not dare to stand directly on the wall and shoot arrows. They could only shoot one arrow and quickly retract.
"Lie down!" Du Fuwei rushed to a distance of less than twenty or thirty feet from the wall of the village and lay down on the ground. There happened to be a group of bushes here.
The musket poked out of the bushes, he took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
A Linyi soldier who exposed his head and fired an arrow fell down at the sound.
The Fu Gong next to him also pulled the trigger, but the Linyi man was obviously not slow in his movements. The lead bullet did not hit him directly. It probably flew past his scalp.
Fu Gong cursed and quickly reloaded.
Du Fuwei next to him fired another shot.
A Linyi man on the arrow tower not far away was shot and fell.
Seeing Du Fuwei's provocative smile, Fu Gong snorted coldly, held his breath, and quickly achieved a victory.
The muskets "cracked" on the wall, and Lin Yi people almost changed their entire row.
There were also many people hit by arrows on the Han army's side.
The Lingnan soldiers who followed behind also began to fire arrows to suppress the enemy. In the end, there was no movement from the Linyi people.
Du Fuwei held his breath and looked at Fu Gong.
The entire battlefield suddenly became quiet.
"Behind!" Fu Gong suddenly realized something.
There was a sound of wind behind him, and in the dense forest, countless people from Linyi rushed towards him.
At the same time, another figure appeared on the wall of the village, and the Linyi people jumped off the wall quickly and rushed directly towards the Han army.
Apparently they realized that they were no match for the well-equipped Han army in terms of archery, so they decisively brought the battle to close range again.
"Well done!" Feng Xi yelled first and rushed forward with his men.
Before, the Musketeers rushed in front, as if they were just watching the fun, but now they finally found a chance to prove themselves.
The Lingnan soldiers were not as agile as the Linyi people. They raised their swords and pounced directly on the enemy. Some even hugged the big tree and jumped up, directly extending the battle to the top of their heads.
Listening to the killing sounds coming from the tree branches and from the crown, Du Fuwei and Fu Gong looked at each other.
"Bang!" A black thing fell from the sky, and it turned out to be the body of Lin Yi.
"It seems that we have underestimated these guys." Du Fuwei smiled bitterly and turned his attention to the wall of the village again, "Since the enemies behind us have been handed over to them, let's deal with the ones in front of us!"
Bayonets were shining sharply, and the Han army's musketeers roared and killed the enemies who had jumped over the wall and climbed in.
And Du Fuwei scratched his head.
What about the feint you promised?
Why do you feel that this battle is no easier than the main attack?
---
"There are too many traps, and the enemy really hollowed out the entire mountain." Feng Pu, who was already wearing a coat of paint, said with a wry smile, looking at the Han soldiers who retreated again.
On the east side of the mountain, Feng Pu led the main attack, while Du Fuwei and others led a detour as a feint attack in order to attract the enemy's attention.
From a strategic perspective, there is no problem with this. By diverting the enemy's attention, opportunities will naturally be created for the main attack.
But the problem is that the defense of the Linyi people is not one-sided, but comprehensive. They do not intend to rely on people to resist the Han army. Fan Fanzhi is also well aware of the gap in the quality of the army and the gap in equipment, so He simply pinned his hopes on layers of defense lines and traps, relying on the density of the mountains and forests and the Linyi people's familiarity with the mountains and forests to harass the attacking Han army from all aspects.
The Linyi people have hollowed out the entire mountain. There are layers of traps and trenches in the mountain, so the Han army can only advance forward with all its strength. It can only advance through the superiority of its troops. Therefore, the Han army's main attack and feint attack are all forced to change. Became the main attacker.
Especially on the front where Feng Pu was responsible, the attack was particularly difficult.
After paying the price of two to three hundred men, the Han army advanced to the middle of the mountain. It was still a long way from the top of the mountain, and there were still countless Linyi people who had not been eliminated in the woods halfway up the mountain.
Fortunately, Feng Pu's soldiers were all good at climbing. In the end, the Han army simply stopped attacking and climbed up the big trees one by one. They first killed the enemies hiding in the canopy, otherwise they would rush forward later. , the enemy jumped out from behind, inevitably resulting in casualties. The Han army had suffered many losses before.
As a result, the battle became more and more stalemate, and the battle line remained halfway up the mountain. The two sides moved the battlefield from the ground to the treetops, and the fight was endless.
This made Feng Pu very helpless.
If we continue at this pace, I'm afraid we won't be able to conquer this mountain in three days.
"Dong dong dong!" The sound of drums echoed in the valley.
