At the foot of Jinshan Mountain, more than 1,400 elites from Jiuquan County gathered.
The drums rumbled, and the sound echoed in the air.
It even spread to the mountains.
The endless reverberation of the war drums made the Jinshan bandits who were originally stationed on the road leading to the mountain move into action. Everyone gathered together on the mountain road, but each of them had an extremely dignified expression on their faces.
Shen Biao died, and the rest of them, the soldiers, were very nervous.
In addition to the soldiers in charge of guarding, all the archers are also in place. As long as the officers and soldiers start climbing, these archers will give the officers and soldiers a head-on blow.
Guo Xiaozheng led Liu Qinghu to rush for a while, and soon came to the mountain road. He stood on the mountain road and looked out. He saw the officers and soldiers gathering at the foot of the mountain, and even saw the soldiers beating the drums.
This scene was seen by Guo Xiaozheng, his eyes were extremely sharp.
There is a high fighting spirit in the eyes.
In this battle, he has a geographical advantage and is certain to defend Jinshan. As long as he weakened the strength of the officers and soldiers to the greatest extent and won the first victory in this storm of officers and soldiers, the soldiers no longer have any fear.
This battle will become easier.
Guo Xiaozheng's mind turned, and he shouted: "Xue Rengui, my military division is waiting for you on the mountain, if you have the ability to attack."
He immediately asked the soldiers to shout.
Hundreds of people shouted on the mountain, and Guo Xiaozheng's voice was heard all the way down the mountain.
Du Qi and Xue Rengui rode their horses and stood side by side. Du Qi heard the shouting, looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Xue Rengui, it seems that the military adviser of the Jinshan bandit has a lot of ideas. His intention is clearly to provoke you into a strong attack. "
Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, the Si time is coming soon, and the drums have already sounded. Next, I will prepare for a strong attack. And this battle, I will not be afraid. He thinks he is a fierce general, but in fact he has fallen into our schemes."
Du Qidao: "Xingba, then start to attack. The Si time will arrive soon, attack now to create conditions for Xiao Yuanqi. As long as you hold off the Jinshan bandits here, there will be no suspense in this battle."
"The future will understand!!"
Xue Rengui got the order and shouted: "Shield soldiers, come out."
With an order, soldiers holding shields quickly came out to line up.
There are a total of one hundred shield soldiers in this group.
Because the road leading to the mountain is more than one foot wide, but it is not straight, it is curved and undulating, a hundred people cannot all line up, only eight people can form a row, holding shields, wearing armor, and wearing iron helmets , fully armed and charged upwards.
This is what Xue Rengui used to open the way.
With the shield in place, Xue Rengui is not afraid even if there are archers ambushing on both sides of the mountain road, and even on the mountain there are archers shooting arrows to suppress them. As for the people on the mountain, if they want to attack with rolling stones and lumberjacks, because the road is rough and not straight, lumberjacks and so on are not very useful, because if they roll down a certain distance, they will have to run aground.
One by one, the shield soldiers rushed forward quickly, and soon came to the road at the foot of the mountain, and rushed up quickly. They didn't rush forward in a disorderly manner, and a row of people lined up neatly, forming a formation.
Row after row, neatly arranged.
In this way, even if the soldiers in the front row couldn't stop them, the soldiers in the back row could go up immediately, and continue to rush up the mountain one after another. This is an arrangement to minimize losses.
"Go, go!"
Lieutenant generals, shouted.
At this moment, there are more mighty war drums sounding from the foot of the mountain, and the drums are rumbling, stirring people's hearts. This made all the shield soldiers rushing forward rush upwards without hesitation.
This scene fell into Guo Xiaozheng's eyes, and there was a touch of worry between his brows.
Xue Rengui, it's not easy.
If it were the rest of the people attacking the mountain, let¡¯s just say that Jiang Zhengdao once attacked the mountain, he directly ordered the soldiers to attack, without giving the soldiers any protection, no shields, no armor, no helmets. Therefore, when Jiang Zhengdao attacked the mountain, the archers on Jinshan shot arrows, and when a wave of arrows rained down, Jiang Zhengdao's soldiers died and injured countless.
However, Xue Rengui is different here. All the soldiers are well-equipped with shields and armors. Even if the bows and arrows fall down, it is not so easy to hurt the officers and soldiers.
However, no matter what, those who should shoot arrows still have to shoot arrows. You can't just ignore everything just because the officers and soldiers are fully protected.
"Fire the arrow!"
Guo Xiaozheng ordered loudly.
In an instant, the bows and arrows ambushing on the high ground on both sides of the mountain path, as well as the archers above the mountain path, all drew their bows and arrows, and aimed directly at the shield.Shoot in the direction of the soldiers.
The soldiers kept shooting arrows, and the rain of arrows was dense, like locusts flying in the air, covering the sky and the sun. In the blink of an eye, it has already fallen from the sky above the shield soldier.
"Raise your shield!"
The leading small school shouted.
One side of the shield was raised and stood obliquely in front of the body, covering key parts such as the head and heart.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!!"
Densely packed bows and arrows fell, and most of the bows and arrows fell on the shield. There were only a very small number of bows and arrows, which were shot at the armor of the soldiers, because the armor completely protected the body's vitals, and the fish scale armor on the body was extremely comprehensive, most of the bows and arrows did not play any role.
Only a very small number of bows and arrows hit the shield soldiers. A wave of bows and arrows came down, and the number of dead and injured shield soldiers was no more than one slap.
"Rush, rush up!"
The leading small school gave the order again.
The shield soldiers walked up in a uniform manner, even though the road was rough, even if there was rain of arrows falling, but for this group of shield soldiers, it did not hinder them. They always rushed up the mountain quickly, wanting to kill directly up the mountain.
As long as the mountaineering is successful, a foothold on the mountainside, and the bandits on the mountain are held back, the battle will be won.
Because once the bandits are stopped, the army at the foot of the mountain can quickly climb the mountain and launch an attack. Under the attack of the army, the mere power on the mountain is not enough.
Seeing this scene, Guo Xiaozheng frowned. His well-prepared archers set up numerous ambushes, but they couldn't stop them at all, and they couldn't even delay the time.
"Xu Shan!"
Guo Xiaozheng ordered loudly.
"The end is here!"
Xu Shan stood up in one step.
Today's Xu Shan is wearing armor and equipment, protecting all his vitals. Holding a big gun in his hand, he stood in front of Guo Xiaozheng, with a fierce look in his eyes.
He is unwilling to fight with officers and soldiers.
Because the officers and soldiers led by Xue Rengui are much more powerful than those of Jiang Zhengdao.
But he had to fight.
Even if there was a trace of fear in his heart, Xu Shan could only end up fighting. Because if he doesn't fight, he will die this time, so he can only grit his teeth and come out to fight.
Guo Xiaozheng ordered: "The archers will cause very little damage to the shield soldiers of the officers and soldiers. To deal with these shield soldiers, you can only use pikemen. You lead the pikemen to fight and block the shield soldiers coming up the mountain."
"yes!"
Xu Shan responded immediately.
"Pikeman, follow me to fight."
Xu Shan quickly ordered that there are more than a hundred pikemen under his command, and all of them are elite. Although these pikemen could not be well-equipped in armor like the officers and soldiers, they were all extremely rebellious and fierce thieves.
These people were all plundered by Zeng and Xu Shan.
Very vicious.
They went out to fight with long guns and went down the mountain quickly. Not long after, the shield soldier was less than ten steps away. The bows and arrows on both sides have stopped, leaving only the confrontation between shield soldiers and spearmen. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
