Chapter 387: The attack is frustrated
The strongest, the fastest update of the last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei latest chapter!
Xiahou Ba quickly rushed to the front, and saw Guo Huai sitting leisurely on a big rock, closing his eyes and recuperating, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Guo Tingshi, since you are a pioneer, why are you holding back?" If you really don't want to attack, then just get out of the way and let someone come! ”
Guo Huai opened his eyes slightly, as if he was too lazy to talk to Xiahou Ba, and stretched out his finger and pointed at Xingshi Mountain behind him.
Xiahou Ba's attention was only on Guo Huai's body, and he really didn't pay attention to Xingshi Mountain, which was followed by Guo Huai's fingers, and the knife couldn't help but be secretly taken aback.
Looking at this frame, the Shu army on Xingshi Mountain probably has tens of thousands of people.
Xiahou Ba is suspicious, it stands to reason that the Shu army in the entire Han is only more than 30,000 people, how can they all be sent to Xingshi Mountain, even if they know that the Wei army is going to take the Fu Luo Road and make arrangements in advance, it is impossible to empty the armies everywhere, right?
Guo Huai is probably hesitant for this reason, after all, as the attacking side, at least in terms of the gap in strength, there are more than the defenders, Guo Huai's vanguard battalion of 5,000 people is really not enough.
The men and horses led by Xiahou Ba are more than one with Guo Huai, and they are also 5,000 people, if Guo Huai retreats, relying only on Xiahou Ba's army, it will be too far behind.
But Xiahouba did not flinch, as a pioneer, you must have the courage to advance in the face of difficulties, even if the opponent's strength is really super strong, the vanguard battalion can't gnaw this hard bone, but this kind of attempt is essential, at least you can find out the reality of the other party, and create conditions for the main force to attack the mountain.
For Guo Huai's kind of goods that wilt when he encounters difficulties, Xiahou Ba really looks down on him in his heart, and he said to Guo Huai with disdain: "In this case, how about making room for Guo Tingshi, and leading a certain army to attack?" ”
Guo Huai immediately said hehe, since Xiahouba wants the egg to touch the stone, then let him try, anyway, this guy doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, he doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, he used to be his subordinate, he was unruly, and rarely had the habit of obeying his boss, and now the status of the two people is on an equal footing, Xiahouba is becoming more and more arrogant, in order to make him suffer a little, I really don't know what his surname is.
Guo Huai didn't bother to argue with him, and immediately ordered his army to step aside and make way for Xiahouba's men and horses.
Originally, this valley road was not too wide, even if it was to the position out of the valley, it might not be much more spacious, Guo Huai's pioneer battalion was already like a long dragon across the road, occupying most of the road, blocking the follow-up troops.
At this moment, Guo Huai ordered to vacate the road, and the pioneer had to move to the side of the road as much as possible, fortunately this is the location of the valley, although the road is not wide, but at least there is no cliff, the pioneer battalion moved and squeezed, or gave way to half of the road, which can allow Xiahouba's troops to pass.
Xiahou Ba immediately ordered the team to be pulled up and reached the foot of Xingshi Mountain.
Although Xiahou Ba boasted of Haikou in front of Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba did not lose his mind because of this, he led his troops to the foot of Xingshi Mountain, and observed the geography very carefully.
Coming out of the mouth of the valley, it is basically the position of the bottom of the valley, looking up at the mountains on all sides, all of them are high mountains and mountains, straight into the sky, the original Xingshi Mountain is compared to the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, especially the main peak of the Qinling Mountains that they have just crossed, Taibai Peak, is a little different, but because Xiahou Ba is at the bottom of the valley, looking up at the Xingshi Mountain, it seems that the Xingshi Mountain is more tall and steep, towering into the clouds.
There are not a few roads up the mountain, and the Shu army seems to have already blocked these roads, Xiahou Ba is familiar with the art of war, and naturally knows that such combat conditions are extremely unfavorable, but if he turns back at this moment, he will definitely be laughed at by Guo Huai, so Xiahou Ba has to try it hard.
So Xiahou Ba ordered Zhao Li and Fang Kai to lead a thousand men and horses to launch a tentative attack on Xingshi Mountain.
Garrisoned in Xingshi Mountain is the Shu army guard Liu Min, he was appointed by Wang Ping, in Xingshi Mountain to block the Wei army, in view of Liu Min's men only six or seven thousand people, Wang Ping deliberately asked Liu Min to bring more flags and military uniforms, planted flags all over the mountain, and hung military uniforms on the branches, looking from a distance, and there is not much difference from real people.
Wang Ping used the bluff to cause psychological pressure on the Wei army, and the mountains were full of banners, but the real troops did not need to be stationed on the entire Xingshi Mountain, but only needed to set up ambushes in dangerous places where the mountain road must pass.
Zhao Li and Fang Kai led the army to attack Xingshi Mountain, they carefully held their shields, along a relatively wide road, slowly advancing forward, looking around, walking heavily, for fear of suddenly rushing out of a Shu army and giving them a head-on blow.
When he just arrived at the position on the mountainside, he suddenly heard shouts everywhere, and the ambush of the Shu army was exhausted, and suddenly there was a rain of arrows, shooting towards the Wei army.
The Wei army was caught off guard, and the soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground with arrows, and the soldiers behind saw that the Wei army was killed, and hurriedly erected a shield for protection, and the random arrows shot on the shield, making a popping sound, and the Wei army was barely able to protect the vital point, and walked with difficulty against the rain of arrows.
The arrows did not work, the Shu army immediately sacrificed the rolling logs, each of which was several zhang long and roared down from the top of the mountain, and the Wei soldiers who climbed on the middle of the road were unable to dodge, dodge, and were swept by the rolling logs, either dead or wounded.
At this time, the shield could no longer play any role, and Wei Bing had to hide on the side of the road, but the roadside was full of cliffs, and one misstep would fall.
Rolling logs are almost an essential weapon for mountain defense, and a large tree can be cut down to make a single rolling log, which is quite heavy and requires at least a dozen strong men to lift it.
But its power is quite amazing, the thicker the rolling log, the more powerful, from the top of the mountain can be rolled all the way to the bottom of the mountain, all the way to sweep and crush, the middle of the dead.
The greatest power of the bow and arrow is only to injure one person, but the rolling log is a group injury weapon, and more people cannot block its fall, and where it passes, it is drenched in blood, and when it rolls down to the bottom of the mountain, the entire rolling log is already bloodstained, almost dyed red.
There was more than one such rolling log, and the Shu army threw it down one after another as if they didn't want money, and a huge roar resounded through the valley, Zhao Li and Fang Kai saw that the situation was unfavorable, so they could only lead their troops to retreat in embarrassment, bringing a thousand people with them, and when they came back, five or six hundred, and the casualties were nearly half.
