Chapter 908: The Magnificent Power of Han (Thirty-Three)
Just as Ye Zhen's troops were singing Yan Song at the foot of Jinyin Peak, on Wulingfeng Mountain a few miles away, Mu Gulu led the five hundred soldiers who walked out with him from the black mountains and white waters, all wrapped in Snow-white cloaks buried themselves deeply in the snow nest. Everyone was covered with a layer of bamboo poles. A hollow bamboo pole poked its head out from the snow, making them sink into the snow. You can still breathe freely. Looking down from the mountain, you can see nothing wrong with this place except snow.
Mu Gulu has been lying in wait here for a whole day. Although the cloak has good water insulation performance, it cannot stop the cold from penetrating. However, these people from Liaodong have long been accustomed to the severe cold. Compared with Liaodong, the climate here is To them, it was nothing more than child's play, not worth mentioning. If they weren't afraid of snoring when they fell asleep, these soldiers would have fallen asleep long ago. When they were in Liaodong, they often just lay down on the snow like this to have a good sleep. Get a good night's sleep. What's more, now that we have followed the Eastern Expeditionary Army, all kinds of weapons and equipment have been updated, which is completely different from the poverty they were in at that time.
There are refugees in this team, including Donghu people, Huns, and soldiers from countless other small tribes. They have one thing in common, that is, they are not afraid of death. When they were in the Black Mountains and Baishui, they had long been asking for life with their heads raised. To them, death is as natural as breathing.
Perhaps their discipline is not as strict as other Eastern Marching Army, or they cannot have as skilled tactical cooperation on the battlefield as other Eastern Marching Army, but when these people fight, they always move forward and forward, because Over the years, they have formed a habit: if they don't move forward, they will die.
Their position was about two hundred meters behind the Qin army's main position at Wuling Peak. From this distance, Mu Gulu could even hear the shouts of the soldiers on the other side's position and the general's shouts. He resisted and did not reach out. Turning his head to observe the opponent's position, he should have seen that he had already seen it all. Now, he was just waiting for an opportunity.
Night gradually fell, time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, another night passed. Even Mu Gulu himself couldn't help but fall asleep. It was at this time that he heard a sudden sound coming from above the Wuling Peak position. There were bursts of noise, screams, and rapid footsteps.
"Kong Fang should launch an attack, right?" Mu Gulu thought in his heart.
In fact, at this time, there was a riot on the Jinyin Peak, which was far opposite Wuling Peak. The Qin Army and the Yan Army started an internal fight. When Ye Zhen led his troops to attack, the Qin Army on the Wuling Peak saw the battle taking place on the Jinyin Peak. Hidden The green military uniforms rushed straight to the top of the mountain like no one was there, and the blazing fire burned on the mountain. The shouts and killing sounds that shook the sky could be clearly heard by them even though they were miles away.
The Qin army on Wuling Peak naturally knew that this meant that Jinyin Peak had been lost.
Kong Fang seized this opportunity and thousands of Zhengdong soldiers launched an attack on Wuling Peak at the same time.
On Wuling Peak and Jinyin Peak, the Qin Army has already built a complete defense system. On Jinyin Peak, if it were not for the internal strife between the Qin Army and the Yan Army to which Zhou Yu belonged, it would have been impossible for Ye Zhen to capture it in a short time. Fortresses are often It was broken from the inside, but on Wuling Peak, this problem did not exist. All the troops stationed here were Qin troops.
Kong Fang tried his best this time. The last battle to attack the two peaks was his first serious battle after joining the Eastern Conquest Army. Unexpectedly, he suffered a defeat. The general lost face greatly, not to mention that he led the army to fight with the idea of revenge. For his father's death, he not only hated Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, but also hated the Qin army and the Qin army's chief general who were behind all this. Lu Chao.
Because there was such a hidden chess piece as Mu Gu Lu, Kong Fang came up this time without any tests and directly launched a fierce attack with the whole army. He took the former Kong family soldiers out of the team and formed a death squad, which he personally led as an all-out force. Army arrows.
From the very beginning, the battle entered a fierce state. Obviously, the Qin army did not expect that the Zhengdong Army attacking this time would be like a chicken blood, charging upward desperately. At the same time, the loss of Jin Yinfeng also caused a huge blow to the army. They suffered a huge impact. At this time, the flag of the Qin Army had fallen on the Jinyin Peak, and the flag of the Eastern Conquest Army was rising slowly and was fluttering in the morning wind.
The Qin army, shaken and ill-prepared, lost its first line of defense as soon as the battle broke out and was defeated by Kong Fang and his family's soldiers.
However, after all, the Qin Army is one of the most elite armies on this continent. After a short period of confusion, they immediately reacted. The garrison generals immediately mobilized their troops. After stabilizing the second line of defense, they began to attack the lost first line of defense. Counterattack, they occupied the geographical advantage, and every charge put Kong Fang's troops in danger.
Kong Fang's eyes were red at this time. He knew very well that if he could not get the Qin army to use all its strength on the frontal battlefield, then the mere 500 people in Mugulu would not be able to do anything.
"My sons, the murderer of my father and your clan leader is on the mountain. Take out your courage, go forward, rush up and kill them all!" Kong Fang ripped off a section of his white underwear and tied it to On top of the helmet. Holding the spear, he shouted and rushed forward. Behind him, thousands of Kong family soldiers also repeated Kong Fang's actions. For a moment, these helmets were wearing Xiaobu's Like a sea wave, the soldiers jumped out of their defensive zone and rushed up the steep hillside.
The ones in front fell down, and those behind made up for it. On the hillside, soldiers from both sides were rolling down the snow. In an instant, countless corpses were piled up on the first line of defense.
Kong Fang had been stabbed several times on his body, and arrows were trembling on his legs and arms, but he was completely unaware of it, shouting for a fierce battle. One step, one shot, one shot, one life.
This attack of more than a thousand people caused heavy losses. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them fell. However, the blow they inflicted on the Qin army was also fatal. They were so shocking that they were scared to death. , right now, Kong Fang and his soldiers from the Kong family are desperate for their lives.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. After more than a thousand soldiers of the Kong family, more soldiers of the Eastern Expedition rushed forward. The Qin army mobilized more manpower from the rear to fill the gap caused by Kong Fang.
In the snow nest, Mu Gulu listened intently to the other party's loud orders and the sound of hurriedly leaving footsteps. He silently counted the time in his heart. At this time, the main enemy force in this direction had been transferred to the frontal battlefield. Above.
Mu Gulu grinned, jumped up from the snow nest, spat out the bamboo stick in his mouth with a whoosh, and unsheathed his scimitar with a cry.
"Kill!" he roared.
Hundreds of men jumped up from the ground and charged towards the Qin people's position in front. In the blink of an eye, they rushed over a distance of more than a hundred meters, took their bows, loaded arrows, and the sound of arrows roared in the air. On the military position, the few remaining Qin soldiers stared dumbfounded at these ghost-like enemies emerging from the ground. Before they could react, they were already pierced by the whistling arrows.
The Qin army that was counterattacking had gained the upper hand and was forcing the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army to retreat step by step. Even though the Zhengdong Army was brave, they were facing a Qin army whose tactics, courage and discipline were not inferior to theirs. Without the geographical advantage, even though everyone tried their best, they were still squeezed and retreated step by step.
Kong Fang was anxious, with several wounds on his body and bleeding. He looked unwillingly at the Qin army that was squeezing down like a tidal wave, "Hold it, hold it!" He shouted sternly, with him as the center, less than half of them were left. The Confucian soldiers were huddled together in layers, tenaciously resisting the Qin army's attack. With each attack, these soldiers would fall down in a row.
Just when Kong Fang felt that he would end in failure again, he finally saw the Qin Army's rear, the angel-like white figure, with sharp arrows whizzing down. But this time, it was the Qin Army who suffered the big loss. The arrows from behind were accurate and vicious. In an instant, the Qin army fell down like cutting leeks.
"Kill, kill!"
The Qin army was in chaos, but the morale of the Eastern Army was greatly boosted.
The two armies strangled themselves into a mass on Wuling Peak. A few hours later, when Kong Fang was lying on the ground, weak and sleepy, holding the banner of the Eastern Conquest Army, the fighting on the mountain was coming to an end. Most of the Qin army was wiped out on the mountain, and the rest were either fleeing into the canyon, or being chased by the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army. In this battle, half of the three thousand soldiers brought by Kong Fang to attack fell. Of the 500 soldiers, more than 200 were killed in the battle. The Qin army was on the mountain and more than 2,000 were killed.
At noon, when Lu Chao looked at the Jinyin Mountain and Wuling Peak on both sides with a livid face, the flags of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were planted on the left and right sides. It was not that he did not want to rescue both sides, but when a battle broke out there, in front of him , the Eastern Expedition Army commanded by Yang Dasha put up an attack stance. The Young Guards had already demonstrated their combat effectiveness at the first time. Lu Chao knew that the opponent was feigning an attack, but he could not be on guard. A feint attack could happen at any time. becomes a real attack.
What he didn't expect was that the battle on both sides ended so quickly. You must know that the people he placed on the mountains on both sides were all elites from hundreds of battles. Needless to say, the Qin army on Wulingfeng, even on Jinyin Mountain, The Yan army under Zhou Yu's command was also a veteran with good combat effectiveness.
"General, I'm afraid we can't hold the Masaping Canyon anymore." The muscles on Ben Kuan's face twitched. Although he didn't want to admit this fact, the reality was already in front of him. Two peaks were lost, and the Masaping Canyon was on three sides. During the pincer attack, the main force of the Qin army suffered heavy losses in this battle. Thousands of people died in the battle, which was already a serious injury to the partial division led by Lu Chao. (To be continued)
