Chapter 145: The Battle of Jiaoyue Mountain (Part 1) [Phoenix]

The bright moon mountain in the early morning.

Although the name contains the word "mountain", it is not the same style as the lush mountains on the Mosen Mountains.

Although the mountain is large in scale, it is not high or steep in altitude; there are no turquoise forests, only small and sparse trees;

There are not even steep cliffs or slopes full of earth and rocks, even compared to the mountains near Fengming City, it is a bit boring.

But even so, the cavalry still cannot step on and the infantry can't advance quickly.

About a quarter of the townspeople in Wangguan live on this mountain; the slightly sparse houses have several areas hashed at the top and hillside.

In front of the residence of Jiaoyue Mountain, hundreds of soldiers from the kings were waiting for battle.

Since it is a mountainous land, there is no need to build fortifications to defend the cavalry - they can't rush up at all;

What they need to be careful about is the infantry in the eastern border, especially the light infantry; they are fast and huge in number, and once they break through the defense line, they can easily occupy the Bright Moon Mountain.

By then, not only would the Eastern Army pass through the Bright Moon Mountain, but the defense of the neighboring Queen's Valley could not be guaranteed.

The nobles guarding the Crown Town knew this very well; he knew that there was no real stopping the enemy here; what they had to do was to block the enemy's pace and let them take as much damage as possible.

The Duke of Phoenix at the foot of the mountain was also quite aware of this.

The Eastern Army stopped outside the enemy's attack range and was in order.

Phoenix, with Red Horse and Red Armor, stood before the army; he knew that this outfit was quite conspicuous, and if he rushed up like this, he would definitely become the target of the enemy's concentrated attack;

As the commander, he must not retreat; when launching a general attack, he must be the first to draw out his sword and lead his soldiers to charge towards the enemy's front.

Of course, it is time to launch a general attack.

The Duke of Phoenix looked at the defenders on Mount Bright Moon: Yes, they are not many;

Behind me, flags were roaring, the badges of phoenixes and birds were flying, and tens of thousands of light and heavy infantry were waiting for orders behind me; as long as I drew out my sword and shouted, even if I let them go to the abyss with me, I would not hesitate at all.

Yes, if these tens of thousands of people rushed forward, they could take it down before noon.

But……

Phoenix's eyes fell on what the defenders of the Bright Moon Mountain were prepared.

The men held thick and strong shields in their hands, lined up in front of the town, like moving walls made of metal;

Their shield had spears; once someone approached the shield, the spearmen behind him would assassinate him.

These are not the most important; mainly the archers and stone throwers who are protected behind them;

A huge number of stones were displayed behind them, and the quiver in the archers could be seen from a distance.

A team of tens of thousands of people cannot stretch on this hillside; at that time, the enemy only needs to push a big stone down, and it is difficult to not be able to hit people, and it may even hit several;

Archers are even more convenient; condescending not only has a wide field of vision, but also can effectively improve the range.

Their logistics preparations are quite sufficient; the king's most lack of money is money. They can buy huge stones from residents, and the manufacturing of arrows is no problem.

If you say a strong attack, the losses will definitely not be less than a thousand people. The commanders of both sides are well aware of this.

Wang Lingjun can use human life as a bargaining chip for calculation - exchange more is victory; but Phoenix cannot.

He is kind and kind, knowing that everyone is alive, and someone is waiting for him - his mother, wife and children, brothers, and friends.

In this case, we must choose to win by killing fewer people as much as possible - at least, to allow more soldiers from the East to survive.

It was time to launch an attack. Phoenix turned his gaze to Earl Mayer beside him;

Earl Mayer is a majestic and sturdy man. Although his style of conduct is not as brave, he is very heartless. Phoenix knew that he could control his team well.

"Sir." Earl Mayer saluted to Phoenix with respect: Armor is on your body, just nodding.

"Please give it to you." Phoenix said a little apologetically.

"It is a honor to sacrifice for you." Earl Mayer said, and took a step towards the direction of the Bright Moon Mountain, drawing out the sword:

"For the White Family!"

Immediately, the thousands of infantry soldiers to whom Earl Mayer followed Earl Mayer's footsteps and launched an attack on the Bright Moon Mountain.

According to scouts' estimates, the upper limit of attacks at the same time is the highest; if there are more, the front will appear crowded and the enemy's stones and arrows will be extremely difficult to avoid.

These respectable soldiers held a wide leather shield in their right hand and an iron sword with no distinctive characteristics in their left hand, shouting and rushing towards the top of the mountain. In the eyes of Wang Lingjun on the top of the mountain, these people were undoubtedly the best targets for bows and arrows.

The steel city wall briefly cracked several gaps, and the shortest stone, half a person tall, began to roll down from the top of the mountain;

The longbowmen on the wooden platform behind the front also began to shoot arrows at the foot of the mountain.

According to estimates, before the soldiers rushed from the foot of the mountain to the defense line, they could throw at least ten rounds of stones and shoot thousands of arrows onto the soldiers; even if such an attack could not make the poor Eastern Army die, they could still easily deal with spearmen.

The commander of the Bright Moon Mountain Front questioned Phoenix's command ability: this tactic that only lets a thousand people charge will undoubtedly make them die; if he is the one who comes to command, he will definitely choose to suppress the army; even if this will lead to certain casualties, the Bright Moon Mountain position can definitely be taken down in a short period of time.

Faced with the rolling stones and the arrows shot down, the Eastern Army slowed down - this made Wang Leader even more confused. Shouldn't you rush up as soon as possible to avoid being beaten in vain?

Of course, they did not simply slow down; they carefully observed the rolling stones while pushing their leather shields in the direction of the bow and arrow;

Thousands of people seem not very dense on the hillside, so it is not difficult to avoid the attacks of stones; bows and arrows fail to cause any effective damage to them.

Of course, this is the case when you are at the foot of the mountain; by the way to the mountainside, the stones will become much more difficult to avoid.

Wang Lingjun was not anxious; the same was true for Duke Phoenix.

Soon, an incredible scene was seen on the side of Jiaoyue Mountain:

The Eastern Army, which was charging towards the mountain, actually stopped.

...It's okay if the advance is slow, what is the operation to stop directly?

Even more, the scene that Wang Lingjun could not understand appeared:

In their eyes, the Eastern Army, which was full of morale and bravely fought bravely, abandoned the weapons at hand under the threat of rolling stones and arrows, and then turned to the bottom of the mountain...

Run away.
