    Chapter 16 Mountain Pass Battle

    Around 3:20 pm on November 19, Elantra's vanguard infantry had arrived at the foot of the mountain road. Lin Fenghan raised his head and looked at the fortifications being built above, and asked Kelande and others with a serious face.

    "What do you think?"

    Vera rubbed her eyes fiercely and paced back and forth and said: "Baron, it's really hard to fight this time. This place is in the mountains, and all the roads leading to Shenmu City are composed of these mountain roads. If  If we want to go around, then the logistics carriage will not be able to pass at all. And if our army opens a road alone, it will take too much time and manpower."

    "Yes!" Lin Fenghan nodded and said seriously: "So we must pass through this mountain road about three meters wide, and the stronghold fortifications in front must also be taken down. Do you have any ideas?"

    "Baron, this mountain pass is built between two mountains. It is more than 1,000 meters away from here. They don't know how many people are stationed on it? It is really difficult for us to capture the stronghold. I suggest sending infantry to investigate first.  Get off." Bosmi raised his hand and looked at the mountain road, and suggested seriously.

    "Yes!" Lin Fenghan nodded and ordered: "Bosmi, you take a small group of infantry to investigate the situation. I'll wait here for the heavy infantry to arrive. We will launch a storm later."

    "Yes!" Bosmi nodded, selected more than 10 soldiers with nimble hands and feet, and agile bodies to ride on war horses and walked upward along the mountain road.

    Kelande looked at Bosmi's back and said to Lin Fenghan in confusion: "Baron, are you sure Bosmi can lead people to see clearly the number of people on the other side and the nearest fortifications? I feel like this is a very difficult thing.  .¡±

    "Yeah! Yes! The mountains here are steep. Except for the mountain roads, the rest of the area is made up of rocks and trees. Our infantry cannot maintain the formation at all. Even if we send 1,000 people to attack, I feel that it will be difficult to capture this place.  Stronghold." Ramsay looked around at the terrain and said to Lin Fenghan seriously.

    "Yeah! That makes perfect sense."

    Lin Fenghan looked at the mountain peak, touched his chin, and said in a deep voice: "This mountain road is between two mountains. The location of the mountain road is about 50 meters lower than the top of the two mountains. The two mountains are as long as  Two kilometers. My idea is to send two troops composed of light infantry and archers to land on the top of two mountains from a hidden place, and then gradually advance towards the mountain road. Our frontal troops will slowly attack below and hold them back.  Their troops will wait for the two parties to arrive and attack them together, destroying them in one go."

    "good!"

    "This method is good!"

    "It works!"

    Several people nodded with satisfaction.

    Lin Fenghan said to Tomitsen sincerely: "Old man, I'm going to trouble you guys this time."

    "No problem! We really want to thank you, Baron, for taking care of us old people and children. We live here permanently. I know there are five mountain trails nearby leading to the top of the mountain." Tomitsen and several elderly people thanked Lin Fenghan.  He nodded and pointed toward the hillside.

    At the mountain pass stronghold, Bumi Xiu stood on the stone with his hands behind his hands with a serious face. Beside him, a forty-meter-long fortification composed of wood and stone had been built.  On the high mountains, there is a lack of soil and rocks are everywhere. In this place, they cannot dig out fortifications and can only pile up guardrails as much as possible.

    "Brother, look, more than 10 of their cavalry have dismounted and are coming towards us. I'm going to lead people to drive them off." Bulati looked at the approaching cavalry and said excitedly.

    Bumisxiu nodded and said: "Yes! Go! Our mountain infantry is also back."

    "Total now, your troops and mine have a total of 140 cavalry, 100 heavy infantry, 200 light infantry, and 200 archers. As long as our heavy infantry and archers stay here, there is still no way to block them until night and prevent them from boarding.  question."

    "Yes! What the elder brother said is absolutely true." Brati nodded, pointed at the peaks on both sides worriedly and said: "Brother, have you thought about it, what will we do if the Elante infantry attacks from the peaks on both sides? Should we be on the peak?  Arrange some manpower."

    "Third brother!" Bumisxiu slowly turned around, looked at Brati wisely and said: "These mountains are overgrown with weeds and woods. The infantry cannot form formation at all, and the power of bows and arrows is also reduced to the extreme.  Combat relies on the courage and fighting skills of soldiers, and our few manpower is simply not enough to compete with the Elant army."

    "In the morning, my promise to General Blair was to intercept the Elantra army for at least two days. The reason why I deployed my troops here is to stop them. Killing their men is a trivial matter, soOur whole army stopped advancing and the forwards were exhausted. This is what I want. As for the peaks on both sides, we stationed a small team as an early warning. As long as we see their troops landing on the peak, we will prepare to retreat.  "

    "Our goal is to delay until about 5 o'clock. As long as it is delayed until 5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, then they will have to camp here to rest tonight."

    "Oh!" Brati nodded with sudden realization, and then asked doubtfully: "Brother, what if they don't camp and march at night?"

    "Third brother, it depends on my cavalry troops. No matter what the situation, at least half of our troops cannot sleep at night. We harass them when they camp, and we harass them when they march. In short, we make them tired." Bumi  Xiu taught carefully.

    "Brother is so smart!"

    ¡­¡­

    At 3:40, more than 3,000 people have arrived at the foot of the mountain road, and two 300-person light troops have already climbed halfway up the mountain.

    ¡°Bang the drum!¡±

    Lin Fenghan waved his hand, and more than 200 infantrymen covered 200 archers with shields and attacked towards the top of the mountain.

    Bumisxiu looked down, waved his hand quickly, and said to Brati: "Third brother, you should bring 100 light infantry and 200 archers immediately down the mountain to attack them at a distance of 150 meters.  Be careful not to fall in love with war."

    "go ahead!"

    "go ahead!"

    "Attack!"

    "Attack!"

    "Shoot!"

    "Put up your shield!"

    ¡­¡­

    The Elantra's vanguard heavy infantry carried 1.2-meter shields and continued to move forward from the mountain road, the 50-meter rock near the mountain road, and the mountain forest, followed closely by the Elantra pulley bow longbowmen.

    When the Elantra army was still 600 meters away from the mountain pass, the soldiers of the Second Army had already arrived 200 meters away from them, and long and sparse arrows were fired at the Elantra heavy infantry.

    Ding dong!

    Ding dong!

    Although the bows and arrows of the Second Legion have a height advantage, the distance of 200 meters has consumed a lot of the power of the long arrows. In addition, the Elantra heavy infantry is too spread out and has deep defense with shields, helmets, and armor.  The longbows of the Second Legion did not cause much damage except frightening a few timid infantrymen who lay down.

    "Idiot!"

    "Fight after you walk in, and keep moving forward." Bulati pointed at the archers and cursed, driving the infantry and archers to keep moving forward.

    "Attack!"

    Centurion Wagel, the vanguard archer, looked at the soldiers of the Second Army 160 meters away and also gave the order to fire. Fifty or sixty long arrows at the right angle were launched, which shocked the soldiers of the Second Army.  However, due to height and protection reasons, Elantra's archers also did not produce good results.

    The vanguards of both sides continued to engage in a tug-of-war in which you advanced and I retreated, and you attacked and me fought on the slopes of the mountain.  It took more than fifty minutes, and Elantra's army finally reached 100 meters away from the stronghold at the cost of more than 70 injuries.  At this time, the infantry of the two detachments had also occupied the peaks on both sides and marched from the top of the peaks towards the mountain pass.

    "General, at least 300 people from both sides of the Elantra army have captured the mountains on both sides and are now attacking us. They will arrive in less than 10 minutes."

    "General, the Elantra vanguard army has reached 100 meters away from our stronghold. Due to geological reasons, this fortification is too weak. What should we do now?"

    ¡­¡­

    Bumisxiu looked at the Elantra army all over the mountains and plains, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "It's time to go!"

    "Here comes someone! Burn the wood and push it down immediately!"

    "Immediately push down the rocks we prepared from all places."

    "Order the infantry to retreat in full."

    ¡­¡­

    The infantry of the Second Army retreated quickly, and the Elantra vanguard army was overjoyed and marched forward even faster.  Suddenly, one-meter-high and half-meter-high stone logs were pushed down the mountain pass by the soldiers of the Second Army.

    "quick!"

    "Hurry up and dodge!"

    "Be careful to avoid!"

    ¡­¡­

    The centurions and officers roared, and many soldiers instinctively moved aside, using trees and rocks to avoid irregularly shaped stones and wood.
