Chapter 909: The Death Squad
Sun Li accepted Sima Shi's suggestion and decided to find a breakthrough from the Xishan side, of course, this attack can no longer use the kind of blind play like a swarm, and must organize a crack death squad with assault ability to attack, so that there is hope to open a gap.
But first of all, you have to resist the attack of the state army behind you, that is to say, someone has to act as cannon fodder, now the Sima army has suffered a lot of casualties, and the army of 30,000 people is probably only about 20,000 left, and they are compressed at the foot of the West Mountain within a range of less than a mile, people are crowded, people are crowded, shoulder to shoulder, there is little room for movement between each other, and the arrows released by the state army do not need to be aimed at all, as long as they shoot towards the crowd of Sima army, there is a chance that seven or eight out of ten will not fail.
There is a lot of cannon fodder, and the soldiers on the edge of the team bear the brunt of the attack of the Bingzhou army, and casualties are inevitable, but this can also delay the attack of the Bingzhou army.
Fortunately, the current offensive methods of the Bingzhou Army are still mainly long-range shooting, and they have not pressed all the melee infantry, which leaves a certain space for Sun Li to deploy tactics.
The selection of the death squad is much harsher, those who are not physically fit and have a weak will to fight are not among the choices, but those who are selected are elite soldiers and battle warriors.
Although the members of these death squads have experienced the same marching and fighting as ordinary soldiers, when ordinary soldiers are almost exhausted, they can still maintain a certain amount of physical strength and still have the strength to fight.
Of course, this has a great relationship with everyone's physique, for example, every day a heavy march of 100 miles, many people are as tired as dogs, but there are still a few people who are more relaxed and still have spare strength.
The death squad organized by Sun Li has about 3,000 people, which is probably the only trump card in Sun Li's hand, but Sun Li did not give the order to attack at the first time, but ordered the death squad of 3,000 people to sit down and rest on the spot and eat dry food first.
Originally, Sima Jun traveled all the way, and only after arriving at Lingshi Pass was he ready to camp and rest, burying pots and cooking food, but as soon as he arrived at the destination, he was ambushed by the Bingzhou army, and they were forced to plunge into the battle, and then fought continuously for a long time, and their physical strength had already been exhausted and they were hungry, even if they were iron men, they couldn't stand it.
Therefore, before attacking, Sun Li deliberately arranged for the dare to eat some dry food and drink some water, and take a short rest, so that they could more or less recover some physical strength and make their combat effectiveness stronger.
Of course, hot food can't be counted on, and in such a chaotic battle, it is impossible for the men to cook on the fire, so they can only eat some dry food.
At this moment, the death squad is at the foot of the West Mountain, and their wai wei has thousands of Sima troops to protect them, so they have the opportunity to eat some dry food, otherwise in a chaotic battle, they will not even have the opportunity to eat dry food.
The Bingzhou army is still constantly attacking, although their attack at the moment is not too violent, but this step-by-step, steady and steady way of attacking, or step by step encroaching on the living space of the Sima army, under the pressure of the Bingzhou army, the position of the Sima army is getting smaller and smaller, and the formation is becoming more and more dense, if they can't open the situation as soon as possible and rush to the top of the mountain, they are likely to be wiped out at the foot of the west mountain.
After a short rest, Sun Li gave an order, and the death squad began to attack Xishan.
Although the Bingzhou army had repelled an attack by Sima Jun, they did not relax because of this, and still continued to maintain a high state of alert, always ready for another attack by Sima Jun.
Of course, Sima Jun's first attack was completely unprepared and was caught off guard by the ambush of the Bingzhou army, so in the first battle, Sima Jun was completely in a passive position, and even the opponent did not see clearly, he was killed in a mess, and after throwing the corpses on the ground, he retreated down the mountain in embarrassment.
This time to attack again, of course, Sima Jun will not be as reckless as the last time, and this time they sent out, all of them are elite infantry, experienced in battle, even if it is such a difficult battle, these death squads have a way to find a breakthrough.
Attacking such a dangerous mountain peak, it takes great courage and perseverance, generally speaking, the more dangerous the mountain peak, the more difficult it is to overcome, in fact, a mountain like Lingshi West Mountain can not be called a dangerous peak, relatively speaking, the difficulty of conquering will be smaller.
But in fact, because Xishan is almost a stone mountain, the vegetation on the mountain is relatively small, and there is a lack of tall trees and shrubs to cover it, Sima Jun's every move cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Bingzhou army on the mountain, so the attack of the Sima army will be completely exposed under the nose of the Bingzhou army, coupled with the steep mountain, making the attack of the Sima army almost difficult.
However, since the death squad is called a death squad, it is precisely because they have the spirit of not being afraid of death, these people have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have long been indifferent to life and death.
Most of the West Mountains are steep slopes of more than fifty degrees, and even some places are almost vertical, climbing such a steep slope requires sufficient physical strength and climbing skills.
But the tenacity and tenacity shown by these daredevils seem to have exceeded the limits of physical fitness, they braved arrows, rolling logs, and stones, and surged to the top of the mountain.
The state army was condescending and occupied the advantage of the terrain, and such a huge advantage was enough to make up for their lack of numbers.
The Sima Army death squad carried a shield on top of their heads, and in the process of climbing, a shield was enough to protect the whole body, which could effectively resist the arrows of the state army.
However, for the rolling logs and stones thrown by the state army, the protective ability of the shield is minimal, and the huge rolling logs, roaring from the top of the mountain, are mighty, pulling and destroying, sweeping thousands of troops, completely unstoppable.
There are also stones, weapons that can be obtained everywhere on the mountain, and they have become the biggest weapon for defense, once hit by stones, Sima Bing is almost inevitable.
The battle of attacking the mountains fell into a stalemate. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2 Xingwei Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
