388. Capture the Guanyin Pavilion
The five hundred regular soldiers and one thousand young men guarding the Guanyin Pavilion were stationed in batches in various defense lines.
Of course, if a few lines of defense really can't be held, they can also retreat to the back line of defense, and they can still have time to retreat to the next line of defense before Zhu Wei's Divine Arrow Battalion soldiers chase them up.
Therefore, after the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion captured the rock cliff again, Liu Biao's soldiers and Qingzhuang on this side quickly retreated to the top of the hill, so soon a large number of falling rocks and rolling logs fell from the top of the Guanyin Pavilion and the two rock cliffs above to this rock cliff.
Perhaps it was designed, but there was a lack of a place to hide on this rocky cliff, and many of the sword and shield men of the Divine Arrow Battalion were caught off guard by the rocks and rolling logs smashed down from above, so they could only retreat back down the cliff again.
"Crossbow arrows, crossbow arrows!"
The sword and shield men who withdrew from the front shouted in their mouths, and now they can only continue to charge up if the crossbowmen suppress the defense line above, but the two defense lines above are also in a special position, but there are still a few big trees growing obliquely there.
The canopy of the big tree spreads out, but it also becomes a natural barrier against arrows, and even if there are crossbow archers shooting crossbow arrows in that direction, many of them are blocked by the canopy of the big tree.
At this moment, Bao Long, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Guanyin Pavilion, had already come to the bottom of this rocky cliff.
He leaned on the side of a hillside, looked up a few times, and seemed to think of a way, beckoning in his mouth, "Take turns to go up, attract each other's falling rocks and rolling logs, and when these things are gone, rush up again!" Be sure to capture the Guanyin Pavilion today! Up, on, on! Get some more archers, use rockets, and burn those trees! ”
Since there is no other way, then this can only be used, anyway, if you are lucky, you will not have an accident, and if you are unlucky, you can only die on it.
The falling rocks and rolling logs prepared by Liu Biao's defenders who can guard the Guanyin Pavilion are limited after all, and there will always be a time to run out.
So under the command of Bao Long, the sword and shield men in the unit of tun began to pretend to charge, climbed to the rocky cliff to attract the rolling wood and gravel above, basically ran a few steps, and then retreated a few steps.
At the same time, Boron himself took a dozen archers, took bows and arrows, lit a flame, and threw rockets upward, which immediately ignited the trees that were blocked above.
The two defense lines above were each guarded by more than 100 young men and more than 10 Liu Biao soldiers, and at this moment, when they saw that the trees protecting them were on fire, they were all fighting with various things to extinguish the fire.
However, the rocket was just harassing, and it really didn't play much role.
However, the methods that attracted the rolling wood and stones on it still had an effect, and after about half an hour, the rocks and rolling logs that fell from the top were finally exhausted.
"Kill! Kill! ”
Under Bao Long's urging, the sword and shield men rushed up the rock cliff again, and then continued to rush along the hillside to the last two lines of defense and the top of Guanyin Pavilion.
And at the two lines of defense above, seeing that there was nothing left to smash down, those Liu Biao soldiers did not continue to defend it, and retreated to the top of the mountain again with Qingzhuang.
After nearly two hours of fighting against Guanyin Pavilion in this way, it entered the final decisive stage.
In the end, there were more than 400 Liu Biao's soldiers who retreated to the top of Guanyin Pavilion, and there were more than 700 young and strong, and there were more than 1,500 sword and shield men of the Shenji Battalion who attacked, and about 900 crossbow archers.
The top of this Guanyin Pavilion is also a rocky flat land covering an area of about 300 square meters, which does not look special, just an ordinary hill and the top of the mountain.
In today's period, this hill is not actually called Guanyin Pavilion, in the mouth of the locals this hill is relative to Da Shou Mountain, and what is called what is the opposite of Da Xian Hill, but it is indeed a natural barrier guarding the south of Xiangyang City.
Later, it was probably to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were monks here who used a boat to carry gold and silver to flow down the Han River to the east, to Xiangyang Fenglin Pass encountered a dangerous beach, the ship was covered with gold and sank, the shipwreck suddenly saw a phoenix soaring into the sky, the monk was greatly discouraged, that is, he decided not to go south again, so he built a temple here to practice.
With the temple incense here flourishing, the legend is more and more bizarre, and there is another saying that the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva Xianyou came here to practice and spread the scriptures, so the Buddhist temple here is called Guanyin Pavilion again.
It's a pity that no matter what happens here in the future, it's a battlefield of fighting here.
Although the mountain road leading to the top of the Guanyin Pavilion is not very wide, the soldiers on the side of the Divine Arrow Battalion formed a shield formation and pressed step by step, even if they attacked below, they still maintained a strong attack power.
In addition, there are crossbow archers throwing crossbow arrows at the top of the mountain, which also relieves a lot of pressure on the sword and shield men attacking the mountain, so it depends on the situation that the side of the divine arrow battalion attacking the mountain is stronger.
After all, the defenders of Liu Biao on the top of the Guanyin Pavilion are still dominated by young people, and the previous defense lines have been overcome, and the young men who retreated to the top of the mountain have actually lost their fighting spirit, but they were forced by more than 400 Liu Biao regular soldiers, and they went to the front to defend, using spears and knives and shields in their hands, stabbing and slashing the sword and shield of the Divine Arrow Battalion.
However, most of these young men did not wear any leather armor, and they did not know how to dodge crossbow arrows, so many people were killed and injured by crossbow arrows, and then they lacked experience in fighting on the battlefield, so they could not stop the steady advance of the sword and shield men of the Divine Arrow Battalion.
From time to time, young men were hit by arrows rolling down the hillside, and some young men were pushed to the slope next to the mountain road, and they also screamed and fell down.
Soon these young men began to collapse, even if there were Liu Biao's regular soldiers behind them, they didn't dare to go up to meet the sword and shield men of the Divine Arrow Battalion, some young men were forced to be anxious, and even began to turn against each other, so that Liu Biao's soldiers could only retreat.
In the end, the sword and shield men and crossbow archers of the Divine Arrow Battalion finally reached the top of the Guanyin Pavilion, so that they and Liu Biao's soldiers and Qingzhuang, who guarded the Guanyin Pavilion, were also in the same terrain advantage.
And at this moment, as one of the five brave generals in Jingnan, Bao Long, who also held a sword and shield in his hand, also rushed to the front, and with his martial arts and bravery, he was at most a low-level military officer who commanded a song of soldiers on Liu Biao's side, which was naturally no problem.
So under the rush of Bao Long's first soldiers, both Liu Biao's regular soldiers and young men were killed and collapsed, and they could only flee down from another hillside of Guanyin Pavilion.
Bao Long led the troops to chase and kill for a while, but he quickly returned to the top of the Guanyin Pavilion, and after returning to Tai Shi Ci, who was still in the main position of Fenglin Pass, Bao Long was also temporarily stationed on the Guanyin Pavilion, and then cooperated with Tai Shi Ci in front of Fenglin Pass, and shot a few rockets into Fenglin Pass.
"Oh...... Oh ......", "Kill! Kill! ”
From the Guanyin Pavilion, there is actually no cliff to directly face the Fenglin Pass below, and there is not much space to flatten the ground, so that the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion can stand on the Guanyin Pavilion and attack the Fenglin Pass condescendingly.
But this sense of oppression in his heart is still quite strong, Bao Long led people to shout and shout at the Fenglin Pass below on the Guanyin Pavilion, but it also made the morale of the Liu Biao defenders in the Fenglin Pass a little low......
