In the summer afternoon, the sun is the most scorching and can make people lose their energy. However, at the foot of Jinji Ridge, hundreds of barbarian soldiers had no choice but to cheer up and charge towards the mountain.
"Fire the arrow, fire the arrow quickly." Feng Chong shouted to the surrounding sergeants from the mountain.
He didn't expect that the high-end thief was so cunning and deceived him and others, but he still followed the official route.
Fortunately, before Liu Sima withdrew, he thought that it would be inconvenient for the cavalry to cross the mountains to chase the rebels, so he left himself and a group of wounded soldiers behind. Otherwise, the Yi soldiers would have been able to pass through Jinji Ridge smoothly.
However, there are only more than 400 wounded soldiers in the cavalry and able to go into battle. It is really difficult to hold on.
Fortunately, the terrain of Jinji Ridge is steep, and the narrow and rugged roads in the valley have long been blocked by rocks and giant trees. There are fortifications built in the camps on the ridge, and the barbarian soldiers facing the enemy can only deploy a few hundred people, so they can still hold on at this moment.
It's just that the Yi soldiers were numerous in number, and inspired by the desire to escape, they were brave and fearless of death, charging upwards in waves.
The enemy's offensive was so fierce. How long could it be defended? Feng Chong couldn't help but beat his heart. He only hoped that Liu Sima could come back for reinforcements earlier and that Fu Jun could lead his troops to arrive quickly. At this moment, he could only do his best.
Thinking of this, he already had thoughts of death. Even if he killed all the more than 400 people, it would be worth it as long as he could buy time for the reinforcements.
Seeing that many Yi soldiers had rushed to the mountainside, Feng Chong quickly ordered: "Let's release the rolling wood and rocks."
Although most of his subordinates are cavalry, these sergeants are elites in the army, and they are extremely brave when fighting as infantry.
Soon, the rolling logs and stones were pushed down, taking advantage of the mountain's rapid descent and smashed into the group of barbarian soldiers. A scream was heard from the bottom of the mountain, and dozens of people were killed in an instant. Smashed.
When the Yi soldiers behind saw the rocks and logs rolling down with such force, they were all frightened and retreated down the mountain one after another.
"Damn it, these cowardly guys just retreated like this." In the barbarian formation at the foot of the mountain, Huo Yuan saw his troops retreating and swung his riding whip and said angrily.
Gao Ding glanced at him and said calmly: "This is the first wave of attacks, it doesn't matter."
Although Gao Ding looked normal now, he was already panicked and extremely angry in his heart. He was just trying to restrain himself in order to stabilize his military morale.
He didn't expect that the army would still have soldiers and horses in Jinji Ridge. Although the number was small, they could still block him for a long time due to the favorable location.
If these officers and soldiers cannot be eliminated quickly, then he will be really in danger. Fortunately, the main force of the officers and soldiers has been moved away by his own tricks, so there should still be time.
"Send the order to Agunan, let him continue the attack for me, and don't give the officers and soldiers time to breathe."
We really can't cherish our troops now. Only by exchanging lives with the officers and soldiers on the mountain can we have a chance of survival.
The ordering soldier responded: "Yes."
Agunan, who was commanding the front line, did not dare to delay after receiving the order, and immediately mobilized five to six hundred fresh troops to attack the officers and soldiers on the ridge. After all, he also understood that now was not the time to hold back his forces.
As soon as Feng Chong took a drink of water, he found that the enemy army started to attack again, and he couldn't help but cursed in secret.
"Brothers, cheer up, the barbarian soldiers are coming again."
After a while, the two armies fought again, and this time the battle was more intense. If the first attack by the Yi soldiers was for the purpose of testing, then this time it was more serious.
This group of barbarian soldiers were the elite selected by Agunan. They were not afraid of life and death, and rushed up quickly with their shields on their backs. The shield hand in front died, and the barbarian soldiers behind picked up their shields and continued to charge, not caring about their own lives.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
"Are you ready to roll the logs and stones?"
"Don't panic, reinforcements will arrive soon."
Feng Chong kept giving orders, shouting, and stimulating the morale of his troops in front of the battle.
"Mom, these barbarian soldiers want to trade their lives with us."
Looking at the Yi soldiers rushing up one after another, he knew that the Yi soldiers were really fighting, but his tribe was not easy to deal with.
After these days of fighting alone, the cavalry under Feng Chong's command had turned into an iron soldier. The Yi soldiers were not afraid of life and death, and they had long disregarded life and death.
Moreover, they cooperate with each other tacitly and have the same will. At this moment, even if they dismount and fight on foot, they are still very powerful.
For a time, arrows rained down on Jinji Ridge, and rocks and trees rained down like hail. The fierce battle between the two armies entered a fierce stage. Some people were injured and fell down, but no one retreated.
One side wants to capture the mountain top and open an escape route, while the other side wants to hold the camp and wait for reinforcements to arrive. No one will give in to the other, and they can only keep exchanging lives.
Watching such a tragic battle, Yamashita Gaoding was also frightened. Since he led his troops to Anshang, although he has suffered successive defeats, the defeats he faced personally were due to being caught in a trap. He was like today with the officers and soldiers. This was the first time for him to fight head-on. Now he finally felt the strong combat power and tenacious will of the officers and soldiers.
Is this still the weak county soldier from before? Gao Ding was puzzled, could the power of a wise man really be so terrifying?
Yang Qing had only been in Yuexi for a few months, but he had already built a strong army. If he was allowed to stay longer, would the entire Nanzhong still have the power to compete with the government?
And I heard that Zhuge Kongming is the most wise man in the world, and Yang Qing's child is already so powerful, so how terrible is Zhuge Liang!
The more Gao Ding thought about it, the more frightened he became. For the first time, he felt regret for rebelling against the imperial court. Wasn't he suicidal?
If he could escape today, it seemed that Qiongdu could no longer stay. He had to lead his sons back to their lair to have a chance of survival.
"Win, win, win." Gao Ding was thinking about the future, when suddenly there was a burst of cheers in front of him.
Win? Attacked?
Gao Ding looked up and saw that his son had indeed entered the army's camp.
Well, tearing the gap open is half the battle.
Gao Ding was extremely happy and smiled at Huo Yuan beside him: "Tell A Gu Nan to continue..."
"well!"
Before he finished speaking, there was another sigh from the front line.
It turned out that the dozens of people who rushed into the official army's stronghold were all killed in an instant, and the officers and soldiers sealed the gap again.
"Send the order to Agunan to continue the fierce attack. The Han people won't be able to hold on for long." Gao Ding said with a frown.
"yes."
"What a risk." Feng Chong threw aside the body of a barbarian soldier, secretly glad that even though the force was so tight, he still had a reserve team of dozens of people, which prevented the barbarian soldiers who rushed in from widening their wounds.
But now there are only about two hundred people left. I don’t know how long they can last. Will I and others see the arrival of reinforcements?
The third attack of the Yi soldiers did not start immediately. Agunan let the soldiers rest for a while, and once again announced their interests, appointed officials and made wishes.
The Han army on the mountain had already suffered more than half of its casualties. This time he wanted to achieve great success in one fell swoop and defeat the Han stronghold on the mountain in one fell swoop.
Agug Nang looked at the sky. It was about half an hour until dusk. It was time to give the Han people the final blow.
"Boys, kill them!"
Following his order, the Yi soldiers launched another attack.
The sound of killing shook the sky and the beating of drums shook the ground. Looking at the enemy's overwhelming momentum, Feng Chong understood that the Yi people wanted to resolve the battle.
Well, today is the day to serve the country with one's own body. Even if Feng dies today, he will still take a piece of flesh from the barbarians.
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Feng Chong shouted while leaning on his spear.
The soldiers also shouted: "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"
