Chapter 172 Blood on the Mountain Road
The word Yujun Mountain is as its name suggests, and it is extremely steep. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you will see a winding path, and only one carriage can be passed at the widest point.
Huang Long frowned and asked in a low voice: "Guo Shuai, didn't you say that Xu Rong spent his effort to widen and renovate this mountain road, why is it still so narrow?!"
Guo Daxian said with a wry smile: "Huang Shuai, this is already good. I remember when I went up the mountain to get grass, it was still a small path! Now that I can pass the carriage, Xu Rong is still a good player in building roads! Huang Shuai, I suggest that after breaking through Qinshui, don't kill Xu Rong, let him build roads for us!"
Huang Long laughed: "This is a good idea!"
The generals agreed and laughed.
Huang Long said in a deep voice: "Since the mountain road is so narrow, we should not act rashly, we must first test it. Otherwise, the elite soldiers will be ruined here, wouldn't it be a pity! In this way, each of our families will be 500 people, both the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and they will not only find out the path, but also get rid of the burden. Guo Shuai has put a lot of effort into it before, but this time his troops will not need to send troops. What do you think?"
The generals nodded and all agreed. So everyone returned to the headquarters to select personnel. Since there was no limit on the quality of the soldiers, these baggage soldiers in the army came in handy.
Huang Long whispered to Guo Daxian: "Brother, although we forced Xu Rong to retreat in this battle before, he did not pay too much. He must have wanted to concentrate his efforts to defend Yujun Mountain. Looking at the situation of this mountain road, he would not be able to take it down without paying the losses of thousands of soldiers. If the troops suffered too much losses, even if we captured Qinshui, we would be seriously injured!"
Guo Daxian nodded repeatedly: "What Huang Shuai is saying! When we are in the mountains, we will talk to everyone about seniority. Whoever has the biggest fist and the most younger brothers behind us will be tough! If too many soldiers die, even if we add some strong men from the people, it will not make up for our losses and will damage our status in the Black Mountain Army!"
Huang Long nodded and whispered: "Among us, brother, you are more interested in thinking! I heard that you secretly sent hundreds of elite soldiers to Qinshui before. Can they contact us? Let's cooperate with you inside and outside!"
Guo Daxian sighed: "Ship Huang, Xu Rong had hung up many fine corpses when he was in Xiangshan Mountain, most of which were elite soldiers I sent. I guess they have been exposed and were massacred by Xu Rong, so it is difficult to play their role again!"
Huang Long nodded softly and whispered: "Ship Guo, I have a suggestion. We are spinning around the mountains every day, and it is very easy for many soldiers to cross mountains and ridges. It is better for us to attack here to attract the attention of Xu Rong's troops; you will quietly cross Yujun Mountain with a thousand elite soldiers and attack Xu Rong from behind!"
Guo Daxian frowned slightly, "Ship Huang, then I will be attacked by Yujunshan and Qinshui City!"
Huang Long smiled and said, "Faced with the attack of our army, Xu Rong will definitely struggle with all his strength and defend this Yujun Mountain, so as not to rush out of the Taihang Mountains. In this way, at most, there will be only some yamen runners left in Qinshui City. I believe they will not pose much threat to you at all!"
Guo Daxian stretched out a finger and said in a deep voice: "I need to share one percent more when taking such a big risk!"
Huang Long shook his head, "You have already divided 10% of the battle in Xiangshanling. If you have divided 10% of this battle, then you, Guo Shuai's family, will have to divide 30% of the share, which makes it difficult for me, the commander, to do work! This way, you will give priority to the materials seized in this battle. What do you think?"
Guo Daxian is also a generalist. He nodded gently, "Trade!"
So Guo Daxian immediately selected nearly a thousand soldiers who were good at walking on the mountain road from the two thousand elite soldiers. They were completely light-fitted. Each of them only carried their own weapons and some food, and began a arduous march across Yujun Mountain.
Before Guo Daxian set out, Huang Long and his friends sent the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to head towards the Cao army checkpoint with great fanfare to cover up the whereabouts of Guo’s troops and explore the way forward of the Qing Dynasty.
Xu Rong looked at the Black Mountain soldiers who were slowly moving upwards at the foot of the mountain and said loudly to his soldiers: "Did you see that we are blocking in Xiangshan Ridge make them afraid and feel that we must have ambush! Let's send the old, weak, sick and disabled to inquire about the situation first!"
The soldiers were very nervous, but after hearing what Xu Rong said, looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled at the foot of the mountain, they immediately increased their confidence.
Xu Rong shouted: "Prepare for rolling stones and wood!"
Hearing his orders, the soldiers placed the rolling stone pounding wood they prepared in advance in their place. Seeing the Black Mountain soldiers walking up step by step and getting closer, Xu Rong shouted loudly: "Prepare!"
The soldiers' breathing became rapid and they placed their hands on the rolling stone cube. After Xu Rong's order, everyone pushed the rolling stone cube down the mountain road with force.
At first, their whereabouts were slow. As the distance widened, their speed became faster and stronger and stronger.
The Black Mountain soldier rushed to the front and raised the wooden shield in his hand, pressed it with all his strength, trying to resist. With a bang, the wooden shield was smashed to pieces, and the soldiers were knocked away on the spot, with broken bones and broken tendons, and a mouthful of blood was spit out.
It’s okay that those rolling stones were shot in the corpses, slowly exhausted their energy and gradually stopped. The specially made squash trees kept bounced up and kept smashing out flesh and blood alleys in the crowd!
At first, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army raised their shields to resist. Later, they were used to the blood of their companions. When the soldiers saw the rolling stones and wood falling from the mountain, they hurried to hide on both sides of the mountain road. While leaning against the mountain wall, they shouted loudly: "Grandpa, Grandma, Amitabha, the Three Pure Dao Lord, protect the ancestors and help the gods..."
If you are lucky, you escape by luck; if you are unlucky, you either smash it into meat pie or hit it off the cliff and make a miserable scream.
In just over half an hour, the 2,500 elderly, weak, sick and disabled lost all their fighting spirit and disrupted all their establishment. If Huang Long had not sent a supervision team in time and cut off dozens of deserters' heads, these elderly, weak, sick and disabled would have completely collapsed.
Looking at the flesh and flesh alley in front of him, listening to the screams of his seriously injured soldiers, Huang Long and others frowned. Under Huang Long's instructions, the left school waved his hand and two hundred Qing Dao soldiers walked up the mountain road.
While climbing up the mountain, these Qing Dao soldiers pushed the bodies of the dead to the cliff next to the roadside, and stabbed the seriously injured to death. As for the soldiers who survived by chance, they continued to move forward under their pressure and received the attack from the rolling stones again.
After doing this twice, almost all of the 200 Qing Dao soldiers were killed in battle, and Huang Long issued an order to attack.
When the eight hundred elite soldiers heard the order, they each walked onto the flesh-paved mountain road with swords and guns. As they walked, they were careful to be on guard, especially those dangerous areas where flesh-and-blooded flesh-and-blooded animals were flying, and everyone accelerated their passage.
Seeing the group of soldiers rushing up from the mountain, Xu Rong obviously felt something was wrong. These soldiers were by no means ordinary characters, they must be elite soldiers carefully selected by the other party. Since that is the case, we cannot be polite to them.
Xu Rong shouted loudly: "Rolling stones and pounding the wood, let it go! Archer, shoot!"
Hearing his orders, his soldiers quickly pushed off the rolling stones and pounded the wood, but the results achieved this time were not great.
In the passage that pioneers detected with their flesh and blood, these Black Mountain elite soldiers hid under the mountain wall very cleverly. Although the whistling rolling stones and wood achieved certain results, the effect was not obvious. However, the archers of the Cao army took the opportunity to take action and achieved rich results.
About half an hour later, the eight hundred elite soldiers sent by Huanglong finally reached the top of the mountain and walked to the level before the level. However, at this time, they were all covered in dust and their number had dropped sharply to more than 400.
Xu Rong couldn't help but secretly praised. These soldiers were indeed elites of the enemy. They rushed to the top of the mountain under the heavy attack of archers and rolling stone wood. It was really impressive. However, they could not allow them to occupy the mountain pass smoothly. Xu Rong immediately ordered: "Carl of the Chinese character "charged!"
Hearing his orders, five hundred Cao's soldiers immediately rushed out of the checkpoint and rushed towards the elite soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.
Seeing that the number of people was at a disadvantage, these Black Mountain soldiers did not show any timid expression. Then someone in the back formation shouted loudly: "Shoot!"
Xu Rong was still surprised, and saw many archers suddenly jumping out from behind the Black Mountain soldiers and starting to shoot at Cao's army.
The Cao army attacking troops were caught off guard and fell under the rain of arrows. Xu Rong felt very distressed, and he shouted loudly: "Archers fight back and suppress the opponent's arrows!"
But his orders were a little too late. Huang Long and the others secretly mobilized the archers to come forward, and would rather pay a heavy price than fight back, just for this moment!
The Cao army's Jiazi Camp, exposed to the open ground, was almost destroyed by the shooting of the arrow rain, and only a dozen people fled back in a panic.
At the same time, the Black Mountain Army followed the trend and seized the entrance of the mountain road, so that the Cao army soldiers could no longer throw the rolling stones and wood. To be honest, the Cao army's mulberry stock had already reached the bottom at this time. Otherwise, how could the enemy's entrance be captured so easily?!
The Black Mountain Army, which captured the entrance of the mountain road, did not immediately launch an attack on the level, but used the seized wood to hurriedly build a forward position. Especially the wooden shields erected on the position, which blocked the cold arrows that Cao's army shot from time to time.
Huang Long, Zuo Jiao, Li Damu, Yu Digen and others immediately led their troops to pounce on them and rushed to the front. Seeing the Cao army position facing each other, Yu Digen sneered and bowed to Huang Long, saying, "Sir Huang, there are many prostitutes in our army. Look at me setting up the Yinmen formation and breaking the enemy's level!"
