Chapter 604 The Battle of Raven Hill
Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-&1t;/p>
The loud horn sounded across the mountains, and forty thousand soldiers in the vast sea advanced towards the Raven Ridge in neat steps. The flags flew, the steps were firm, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.&1t;/p>
In order to seize the time, Du Fei personally led five cavalry divisions to try to detour from the Raven Ridge line, surrounded the Nanchuan army troops in the Hezhong City, and then annihilate it.&1t;/p>
But what Du Fei did not expect was that the small Raven Ridge actually blocked his troops for a day and a night, and Du Chong, the only precious son he had high hopes, died in battle on the mountain. Du Chong's death completely angered commander Du Fei. What he wanted most now was to flatten Raven Ridge and avenge his son.&1t;/p>
In order to take revenge, Du Fei no longer cared about the fact that his subordinates were full of cavalry. He ordered all cavalry to dismount and attack the mountain, and he must wash away the Raven Ridge.&1t;/p>
Compared with the intensity of the 11th Cavalry Division of Hanhai before the attack of 10,000 troops towards Raven Ridge, the angry Du Fei now mobilized 40,000 troops directly. He wanted to destroy the Nanchuan Army on the mountain.&1t;/p>
After the battle, Chu Ming, commander of the 16th Banner Regiment of Nanchuan, no longer had the youth and panic he had at the time. He stood on the mountain and looked down. The black Hanhai people were advancing towards Raven Ridge. He looked south from afar, but the reinforcements were not at all.&1t;/p>
"Are you really going to die here today?" A trace of determination flashed across Chu Ming's young face. Even if all members of the Sixteen Banners were killed in battle, they would have to collapse a few teeth of the Hanhai people, so that they could know the spirit of the Nanchuan Army's sword-drawing.&1t;/p>
Chu Ming took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and waved it back. The commander immediately understood. All the Nanchuan soldiers who had been resting on the west hillside all entered their respective preset positions. This time, Chu Ming did not reserve a reserve team. It was not that he didn't want to, but that his troops were really short of strength.&1t;/p>
Although the Sixteen Banners Regiment had a total of 10,000 soldiers, after the previous battle, the number of soldiers had been reduced by about 3,000. The remaining 7,000 soldiers had to defend Raven Ridge under the attack of the 40,000 Hanhai Army, which had little hope, so Chu Ming had to do his best to mobilize all his troops to the front line.&1t;/p>
Forty thousand Hanhai soldiers were densely crushed, and the mountains and fields were full of climbing figures. The entire east hillside was already burned by the fire, so at a glance, the troops configuration of Hanhai soldiers were completely visible.&1t;/p>
"Rise the shield!" Seeing that the Hanhai crossbowman was ready to cover the shooting, Chu Ming shouted while blocking the shield in front of him.&1t;/p>
"Swish!" Not long after Chu Ming's words fell, a large rain of black arrows shrouded towards the mountain, nailing to the shield made a tick sound, and even more powerful penetrating arrows shot through the wooden shield. Chu Ming could feel the sharp murderous aura on the sharp arrow.&1t;/p>
Most of the arrows of Hanhai soldiers were not strong because of their upward shooting. Even if there were arrows to shoot at the Nanchuan soldiers, it was not fatal. They just penetrated the armor. Therefore, after a few rounds of arrows, the mountains were filled with arrows like hedgehogs, but the casualties of the Nanchuan soldiers were not very large.&1t;/p>
Hanhai soldiers climbed up the mountains with the cover of arrows, but their horse boots were very unfavorable in such rugged mountains. From time to time, some people slipped their feet and couldn't stand firmly. However, their number was large, like ants, and they were full of vision, giving people a powerful visual impact effect.&1t;/p>
Facing the Hanhai soldiers who were constantly climbing upwards, the Nanchuan soldiers guarding the mountains looked serious and held onto the weapons in their hands. The tense atmosphere was spreading.&1t;/p>
"Ignite!" Seeing Hanhai soldiers getting closer, Chu Ming waved his hand and the soldiers holding the torch strode forward. With a bang, the huge fireball filled with tinder oil was already burning.&1t;/p>
The rock-beating wood on the mountains consumed a lot and had already been sold out. There were not many crossbowmen in the Sixteen Flags regiment, and they did not cause much damage to the Hanhai soldiers. Therefore, after the officers found a way, these fireballs made of plants and trees became their new weapons.&1t;/p>
Fireballs are made of tightly vegetation, with simple materials. Then a layer of tinder oil is poured outside. When a little spark is encountered, it turns into a scorching fireball. Dozens of fireballs are arranged on the mountains, the heat waves are churning, and the scene is also spectacular.&1t;/p>
"Push it down!"&1t;/p>
With Chu Ming's order, the soldiers used wood to force their bodies, dozens of fireballs rolled from the mountains under the principle of gravity and rushed towards the vast sea soldiers climbing the mountain.&1t;/p>
"My God!" Seeing the movement coming from above, Hanhai soldiers who were climbing were looking up and saw that the fireballs were rolling and rushing toward each other. They were frightened and ran back one by one, afraid of being hit by the fireballs. The hillside was suddenly in chaos, with shouts and screams everywhere.&1t;/p>
The scorching fireballs rolled down all the way and instantly smashed into the Hanhai soldiers. Countless Hanhai soldiers were hit. For a moment, there were shrill screams everywhere on the hillside. Some soldiers were directly swallowed by the burst fireballs and turned into fire people.&1t;/p>
There are too many soldiers in the Hanhai Sea, and the entire hillside is densely packed. Dozens of fireballs roll down, and grooves with blue smoke roll out among the Hanhai Sea team. Wherever they pass, the Hanhai Sea soldiers did not survive, and countless people were burned and injured. More of the chain reaction brought by fear. The originally high morale was tortured by this, and the air was suddenly extinguished.&1t;/p>
Seeing his companions burned out of recognition, their bodies were gone, and the howling Hanhai soldiers were also scared at this moment. Looking at the mountains, they dared not continue climbing.&1t;/p>
"Stop! Kill them all!" The officers of Hanhai immediately pulled out their sabers and shouted. Hanhai soldiers began to rush towards the mountains again.&1t;/p>
"Light up again!" Chu Ming sneered. The more than 200 fireballs they made were enough for Han Hai soldiers to drink a pot.&1t;/p>
The burning fireball kept rolling down the mountains, and the Hanhai soldiers screamed and wailed on the entire hillside. Seeing the Hanhai soldiers being beaten into this shape, the morale of the defenders on the mountain suddenly increased. They had eased from the concerns of the large number of Hanhai soldiers, and attacked in an orderly manner according to the order.&1t;/p>
The number of fireballs is still limited after all. After causing huge damage to the Hanhai soldiers, the soldiers of Nanchuan had to pull out their battle swords to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. After continuous attacks, the Hanhai soldiers have also rushed to the mountains [31 Novel Network Update Fast].&1t;/p>
The two sides quickly met in close combat, and countless sharp swords slashed towards each other's heads. Blood rained and screamed endlessly. The entire mountain was filled with fighting troops. Countless corpses rolled down the hillside towards the bottom of the mountain, while the vast sea soldiers continued to advance towards the Raven Ridge.&1t;/p>
The swords collided with gold and iron, and the blood-stained armor was cut by a sharp blade, and the red knife entered the white knife, and the cruel war was fully displayed. In such a chaotic battlefield, life was so fragile and vulnerable.&1t;/p>
Faced with the Hanhai soldiers who were constantly attacking upwards, the five hills on Raven Ridge changed hands in a short time. Chu Ming led the officers and soldiers of the Sixteen Banners Regiment and had to fight and retreat to the heights of Raven Ridge. (To be continued)&1t;/p>
