Chapter 803: Cold Mountain Fortress Siege (Medium)

In front of the Hanshan Pass, a relatively open slope, the Hanshan Fortress is located at the pass, the peaks on both sides are straight as a knife, there is almost no possibility of climbing, if you want to pass through the Hanshan Pass, you can only cross the Hanshan Pass first.

Because the Hanshan fortress was still under construction, the Hun soldiers guarding the pass were not stationed in the fortress, but scattered around the pass.

Obviously, the surprise attack of the Shu army without warning caught the Huns off guard, and no one expected that the Shu army would suddenly attack at this time.

But the sudden attack of the Shu army completely disrupted the rhythm of the Huns, and the trumpeters immediately blew the horn of the enemy's attack, and when the rapid sound of the horn resounded throughout the valley, the panicked Huns took up their weapons one after another and gathered in the direction of the fortress.

Luta also rushed to the front line in three steps and two steps, seeing the tide of the Shu army, at least more than 10,000 people, Luta was not afraid at all, although there were only 3,000 men and horses stationed in the Hanshan fortress, but according to the dangerous terrain, the Huns were fully capable of competing with the Shu army. What's more, the time for Luta to hold on is also limited, and now Liu Yuan of Huguan will send reinforcements to the Hanshan area as quickly as possible after receiving the news, according to the distance estimate, the Huns' army only needs one day to reach Hanshan.

Therefore, for Luta, how to hold on to these twelve hours does not seem to be too difficult, although the Cold Mountain Fortress is still a semi-finished product, but it is more than enough to deal with the Shu people.

Although the Hun soldiers are relatively scattered, but the good fighting quality allows them to quickly put them in place, the soldiers of the Hu people in the ability to fight alone, is completely far beyond the Han soldiers, which is related to their living environment, the Hu people from the birth, they must face the bloody living environment, under the constant vendetta of grinding, the weak are eliminated, only the fittest can survive, every Hu soldier will become a wrestler.

The two sides quickly entered into battle, first with long-range fires from both sides. Feathered arrows drew arcs in the air with a whistling sound, and threw them towards the opponent's position.

To deal with the dense crowd, the bow and arrow shooting does not need to be very accurate, density and frequency are the focus of both sides, and for a while, the arrows are like rain, and almost even the bright sky has become a little darker.

However, although there are many arrows, but the substantial damage is very little, the Shu army as the attacking party, each soldier is fully armored, the lethality of the bow and arrow is inversely proportional to the range, the armor that can be shot through by shooting is difficult to penetrate at a long distance, the so-called strong crossbow can not penetrate the end of the force, this is the truth, although the two sides have just entered the range of an arrow and began to shoot each other, but most of the shots at this stage are blocking effects, it looks like a little streamer, and the fire is abnormal, but there is not much real damage.

With the advance of the Shu army, the distance between the two sides was further shortened, and the power of the arrows at this time could be revealed, and the arrows of the Huns were strong and powerful, which could shoot through the weak parts of the armor of the Shu army and kill and injure the lives of the Shu army.

At this time, the shield in the hands of the Shu soldiers can play a huge role, these square wooden shields are both large and thick, can effectively protect the vital parts of the Shu soldiers, most of the arrows of the Huns fell on the shield, no matter how sharp the arrows can not shoot through the shield, on each side of the shield, there are several arrows left, the most even a dozen arrows, dense, like a hedgehog in general, it is not difficult to imagine that if there is no shield, these arrows are likely to shoot on people.

Despite this, on the way forward of the Shu army, there were still soldiers who kept falling, and the dense rain of arrows could always find a gap to kill and injure the Shu soldiers, so as to give a fatal blow.

Of course, the Shu army did not rest, on the way to attack, constantly used bows and arrows to cover the attacking troops, and soldiers on the Huns' side were shot one after another.

Fortunately, the Huns hid in the half-finished fortifications, and still had a certain cover advantage, although the Shu army's arrow rain was relatively dense, but the damage to the Huns was still limited.

As the distance between the two sides approached, the density and intensity of arrows increased, and new casualties continued to increase, but this did not seem to shake the determination of the Shu army to attack.

In front of the Cold Mountain Fortress, there is a relatively steep slope, like a fan-shaped, the front end is relatively open, and the higher you go, the narrower it becomes. Such terrain was obviously unfavorable to the attacker, and the Shu army rushed towards the steep slope with great difficulty, and the rolling logs and stones on the top of the mountain roared down and smashed down with a head and head.

At this time, the armor and shield are already unparable, the kind of more than a zhang long, thick than the waist of the rolling wood rolled down from the top of the mountain, almost with the power of sweeping thousands of troops, all the way down, a single rolling log, enough to sweep the Shu army to sweep away, more than a dozen rolling logs fell down together, the momentum, almost overwhelming, if the Shu army can not find a suitable hiding place, in front of the thick rolling log, there is almost no room for escape.

Coupled with the countless stones that fell, they died when they touched it, and they were injured when they were next to each other, and the flesh and blood of the Shu soldiers could not resist it at all. Soon, the first wave of the Shu army's attack was repulsed,

On the hillside, hundreds of corpses of Shu soldiers lay horizontally and vertically, and the first attack on the Shu army paid a very heavy price.

Gao Yuan, who was in charge of the command, frowned, although he knew that it was quite difficult to overcome these dangerous passes, but the first wave of the Shu army's attack was so fierce, but he did not expect it, especially the Shu army had no chance to get close to the enemy's camp at all, and was forced to retreat after only halfway up the hill.

Gao Yuan also knows very well that the Shu army can't afford to drag on this battle, and there is no time to fight slowly, once the intention of the Shu army to advance eastward is seen through by the Huns, a large number of reinforcements will soon come.

Originally, I thought that the Hanshan Pass had not yet been built, and it was relatively easy to take, but I didn't expect the Huns' defense to be so tenacious, and this battle was destined to be difficult to fight.

However, Gao Yuan did not give up, the Shu army must make a breakthrough in this battle, and if it fails, it can only be trapped in Guyuan, and finally end up in ruin.

"Prepare a death squad, carry out a strong attack, and swear to take Hanshan Pass to the death!" Gao Yuan ordered coldly.

The first wave of attacks was somewhat tentative, but the second time was different, Gao Yuan sent his elite and was ready to give it a go. (To be continued.) )
