Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As its name suggests, Yujun Mountain is extremely steep.  Looking up from the foot of the mountain, one can see a winding path, only one carriage can pass at its widest point.

    Huang Long frowned and asked in a low voice: "Guo Shuai, didn't you say before that Xu Rong spent all his efforts to widen and renovate this mountain road? Why is it still so narrow?!"

    Guo Daxian smiled bitterly and said: "Huang Shuai, this is not bad. I remember when I went up the mountain to fall grass, this was still a small trail! Now that carriages can be passed, Xu Rong is really good at building roads! Huang Shuai, I suggest breaking through  After Qinshui, don¡¯t kill Xu Rong, let him build the road specially for us!¡±

    Huang Long laughed: "This is a good idea!"

    The generals laughed in agreement.

    Huang Long said in a deep voice: "Since this mountain road is so narrow, we can't act rashly, we must test it first. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a pity if all the best soldiers were buried here! In this way, each of our families can send out 500 people, including the old, weak, sick and disabled.  , not only has the path been discovered, but also the burden has been thrown off. Guo Shuai has put in a lot of effort before, but this time his troops do not need to send troops. What do you think?"

    The generals nodded and agreed.  So everyone returned to the headquarters one after another to select men and horses. Since there were no restrictions on the quality of soldiers, these burden soldiers in the army came in handy.

    Huang Long whispered to Guo Daxian: "Brother Xian, although we forced Xu Rong to retreat in the previous battle, he didn't pay too much. He must have wanted to concentrate on holding on to Yujun Mountain. I see the situation on this mountain road.  , we can¡¯t win it without losing thousands of soldiers. If the losses of the troops are too great, even if we capture Qinshui, we will be severely damaged!"

    Guo Daxian nodded repeatedly: "That's what Huang Shuai said! When we were in the mountains, we discussed seniority with everyone, who had the biggest fists and who had the most followers behind him, and whoever spoke had the toughest words! If too many soldiers died, we would have to recruit more from the common people.  Even strong men cannot make up for our losses, which will damage our status in the Montenegrin Army!"

    Huang Long nodded and said in a low voice: "Among us, brother Xian, you are the more thoughtful! I heard that you secretly sent hundreds of elite soldiers to Qinshui before. Can you contact them and let's have a chat?  The inside should be in harmony with the outside!"

    Guo Daxian sighed: "Huang Shuai, most of the carefully crafted corpses that Xu Rong hung up in Xiangshan Ridge were the elite soldiers I sent. It is estimated that they have been exposed and were massacred by Xu Rong. It will be difficult for them to return.  Make it work!¡±

    Huang Long nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "Shuai Guo, I have a suggestion. We wander in the mountains every day, and it is very easy for many soldiers to cross the mountains. Why don't we focus here to attract the attention of Xu Rong's troops; you lead  Lead a thousand elite soldiers to quietly cross Yujun Mountain and attack Xu Rong from behind!"

    Guo Daxian frowned slightly, "Huang Shuai, then I will be attacked from both sides by Yujunshan and Qinshui City!"

    Huang Long said with a smile: "Facing the attack of our army, Xu Rong will definitely use all his strength to hold on to Yujun Mountain to prevent the main force of our Black Mountain Army from rushing out from the Taihang Mountains. In this way, at most there will be only a few left in Qinshui City.  Get some government officials, and I believe they won't pose much of a threat to you at all!"

    Guo Daxian stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice: "To take such a big risk, I need an extra 10%!"

    Huang Long shook his head, "You already got 10% more for the battle at Xiangshan Ridge. If you get another 10% for this battle, then your Guo Shuai family alone will get 30% of the share, which makes it difficult for me, the commander-in-chief, to do my job.  ! Let¡¯s do this, you will have priority in selecting the materials seized in this battle, what do you think?¡±

    Guo Daxian is also a person who understands the general situation. He nodded gently, "Deal!"

    So Guo Daxian immediately selected nearly a thousand soldiers who were good at walking on mountain roads from the two thousand elite soldiers. They were completely lightly equipped, each carrying only their sidearms and some food, and began the arduous march across Yujun Mountain.

    Before Guo Daxian set off, Huang Long and others first sent out the old, weak, sick and disabled to Cao Jun's checkpoint with great fanfare in an attempt to cover up Guo's whereabouts and explore the way forward.

    Xu Rong looked at the Montenegrin soldiers slowly moving up at the foot of the mountain and said loudly to his soldiers: "Did you see that our blockade at Xiangshan Ridge made them fearful and thought that we must have an ambush! No, first of all  We¡¯ve sent the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled to inquire about the situation!¡±

    The soldiers were originally very nervous. After hearing what Xu Rong said and looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled at the foot of the mountain, they immediately became more confident.

    Xu Rong said loudly: "Get ready to roll rocks and crush trees!"

    After hearing his order, the soldiers placed the rolling stones and logs prepared in advance within their reach.  Seeing the Montenegrin Army soldiers walking up step by step and getting closer and closer, Xu Rong shouted loudly: "Get ready!"

    The soldiers¡¯ breathing became rapid, and they raised their handsAfter placing it on the rolling stone and wood, Xu Rong gave an order and everyone worked together to push the rolling stone and wood down the mountain path.

    At first, they fell slowly. As the distance increased, their speed became faster and faster, and their power became stronger and stronger.

    The Montenegrin soldier who was at the front raised the wooden shield in his hand and held it against it with all his strength, trying to resist.  There was a bang, the wooden shield was shattered, and the soldier was knocked away on the spot, with broken bones and tendons, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

    Those rolling stones were nothing more than that. They bounced a few times among the corpses, slowly exhausted their energy and gradually stopped.  Those specially made wooden pieces kept bouncing up and smashing alleys of flesh and blood into the crowd!

    At first, the Montenegrin soldiers resisted with their shields raised. Later, they got used to seeing the blood of their companions. As soon as the soldiers saw rolling stones and trees falling from the mountain, they hurriedly hid on both sides of the mountain road.  While leaning his body against the mountain wall, he read loudly: "Grandpa Tian, ??Grandma Earth, Amitabha Buddha, Sanqing Dao Lord bless you! The ancestors protect you, the gods help"

    Those who were lucky managed to escape; those who were unlucky were either smashed into meat pies or knocked off the cliff, making miserable screams.

    In just over half an hour, 2,500 old, weak, sick and disabled people lost all fighting spirit and disrupted all organizational structures.  If Huanglong hadn't dispatched a supervising team in time and viciously beheaded dozens of deserters, these old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers would have completely collapsed.

    Looking at the flesh-and-blood alley in front of them and hearing the screams of the seriously injured soldiers under their command, Huang Long and others suddenly frowned.  At Huang Long's signal, Colonel Zuo waved his hand, and two hundred Qingdao soldiers walked up the mountain road.

    As these Qing Dao soldiers climbed up the mountain, they pushed the bodies of the dead to the cliff beside the road, and then stabbed the seriously injured to death.  As for those soldiers who survived by chance, they were forced to continue moving forward and were attacked by rolling stones and trees again.

    After doing this twice, almost all of the two hundred Qingdao soldiers were killed, and Huang Long gave the order to attack.

    After hearing the order, eight hundred elite soldiers, each armed with swords and guns, walked onto the mountain road paved with flesh and blood.  Everyone was on guard while walking, especially those dangerous areas where blood and flesh were everywhere, and everyone even accelerated through.

    Seeing the group of soldiers rushing up from the mountain, Xu Rong clearly felt something was wrong.  These soldiers are by no means ordinary characters, they must be elite soldiers carefully selected by the opponent.  In this case, you can't be polite to them.

    Xu Rong shouted loudly: "Rolling stones and wood, let go! Archers, shoot!"

    Hearing his order, his soldiers quickly pushed down the rolling stones and rocks, but the results achieved this time were not great.

    In the passage detected by the forerunners with flesh and blood, these elite soldiers of the Montenegro Army cleverly hid under the mountain wall. Although the roaring rolling stones and knocking trees achieved certain results, the effect was not obvious.  On the other hand, Cao Jun's archers took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the opportunity to attack again and again, and achieved fruitful results.

    About half an hour later, the 800 elite soldiers sent by Huanglong finally reached the top of the mountain and reached the checkpoint. However, at this time, they were all disgraced and their number had dropped sharply to more than 400 people.

    Xu Rong couldn't help but secretly praise. These soldiers were indeed the elite of the enemy. They actually rushed to the top of the mountain under heavy attacks from archers and rolling stones and trees. It was really impressive.  However, they could not be allowed to occupy the mountain pass smoothly like this. Xu Rong immediately ordered: "Charge with the A-shaped battalion!"

    After hearing his order, five hundred Cao Jun soldiers immediately rushed out of the checkpoint and rushed towards the elite soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.

    Seeing that they were at a disadvantage in numbers, these Montenegrin Army officers did not show any timidity.  Just then I heard someone in the rear shouting loudly: "Shoot!"

    Xu Rong was still surprised when he saw many archers suddenly jumped out from behind the Black Mountain Army soldiers and started shooting towards Cao Jun.

    Cao Jun¡¯s attacking troops were caught off guard and fell under the rain of arrows.  Xu Rong felt extremely distressed and shouted loudly: "The archers fight back and suppress the opponent's arrows!"

    It¡¯s just that his order was a little late. Huanglong and the others secretly mobilized archers to come forward, and they would rather pay a heavy price than fight back, just for this moment!

    Under the heavy fire of arrows, Cao Jun's Jiazi Camp, which was exposed in the open ground, was almost completely destroyed. Only a dozen people fled back in embarrassment.

    At the same time, the Black Mountain Army took advantage of the situation and seized the entrance to the mountain road, making it impossible for Cao's soldiers to throw rolling stones and knock down trees.  In fact, to be honest, Cao Jun's wood inventory was at the bottom at this time. Otherwise, how could the entrance to the mountain road be captured so easily by the enemy?  !

    The Montenegrin Army that captured the entrance to the mountain pass did not immediately launch an attack on the checkpoint, but instead used the captured wood to hastily build a front.?position.  In particular, the wooden shields erected on the battlefield blocked the cold arrows shot by Cao Jun from time to time.

    Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Li Damu, Yu Digen and others immediately led their troops to rush forward and rushed to the front.  Looking at the Cao army's position on the opposite side, Yu Digen sneered, raised his hands to Huang Long and said, "Shuai Huang, there are many prostitutes in the camp of our army. Look at me setting up the Yin Gate Formation and breaking the enemy's barrier!"
