Chapter 887: Hugging Calf Mountain

The sharp offensive of the Shu army made Liu Qin and Zhao Gu gasp, originally expecting that the Hun army at the mouth of the well could defend this post road for several months, but the reality was that it only took three days, and the Shu army advanced in front of the calf village like a bamboo.

Baoqian Mountain is already the last danger of the foothills of Taihang Mountain, after Baoqian Mountain, it will enter the endless Jizhong Great Plain, and the Huns will no longer be in danger to defend. In the previous dozen passes, the Huns were fighting and retreating, but when they retreated to Baoqian Mountain, there was no way back, and Liu Qin had to fight up the spirit of twelve, gather all the remaining troops, and prepare to fight to the death.

Baoqi Mountain stands between the peaks of Taihang, but it is a peak protruding, majestic and majestic, all around are cliffs, look at it from afar like the giant Buddha lying on its back, the eyebrows are Bixiao, and its top of the mountain is flat like Yi, there are six or seven hundred acres of fertile land, the different places are different, the plants and trees are flourishing, just like a paradise.

The Huns built a very strong cottage on the mountain of Baoqi, because there are good fields and clear springs on the mountain, enough to feed thousands of people and horses, the Huns tried to build the village into an impregnable camp, as the last line of defense of the well.

Due to the extremely high terrain of the mountain, the catapults of the firearms battalion could not throw stone mines to the top of the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, and if they wanted to use the catapults, they had to be placed halfway up the mountain. The mountain is extremely steep, many sections are close to 50 degrees of steep slopes, and it is extremely difficult for the heavy catapult to advance to the halfway point of the mountain, and even if it can advance to the halfway point of the mountain, it is very easy to be attacked by the Huns rolling wood and stones, and it is impossible to gain a foothold at all.

Ah Jian took a turn at the foot of the calf mountain, but did not find the ideal offensive position, so he could only shake his head and give up.

Without the assistance of the firearms battalion, the attack of the Shu army was naturally much inferior, Fu Zhi and Gao Yuan were both embarrassed, if there was no suppression of firearms, it would not be easy for the Shu army to capture such a dangerous calf village.

However, Zhang Le does not believe in evil, although the mountain is dangerous, but for the Wudang Flying Army, it is also like walking on the ground, Zhang Le led the army to the bottom of the mountain, and immediately launched an attack on the top of the mountain.

Many sections of Baocalf Mountain are close to straight cliffs, and there is only one sheep intestine trail that can really be passed, and this sheep intestine trail is completely hewn out of the cliff wall, twisting and turning, winding up the mountain, winding like a snake.

It is naturally impossible for the Wudang Flying Army to attack the calf village along this sheep intestine path, the trail can only allow one person to pass, if the Wudang Flying Army lines up to attack, the defense of the Huns is not very easy.

At this time, it is necessary to give full play to the strengths of the Wudang Flying Army, seeing that they are agile like apes, climbing sensitively on the steep and steep cliffs, and there is no sense of sluggishness and hardship, the action is like the wind, mountaineering and danger, such as walking on the ground, so that the Tiger Cavalry and the Tiger Infantry Army who look at the mountain and sigh below are envious.

The mountain combat ability of the Wudang Flying Army is absolutely unparalleled in the world, climbing those daunting cliffs, they can indeed do it as if they were walking on the ground, which has a great relationship with their long-term combat in the treacherous environment of Bashan Shushui, although this Wudang Flying Army is no longer the brave team of the Flying Army for decades, but the tradition of the Wudang Flying Army has been inherited without reservation, so that this ace division is still glorious after years of precipitation.

Liu Qin and Zhao Gu watched on the top of the mountain that the Shu army had surrounded the Baoqian Mountain, but looking at their appearance of having nothing to do about attacking the mountain, Liu Qin and Zhao Gu were in a good mood, and there was nothing about the Baoqian Mountain being surrounded, the Huns had stored a large amount of grain and grass on the top of the mountain, which was enough to support it for a long time, plus there was fertile land on the top of the mountain to cultivate, Liu Qin was not worried about the problem of grain and grass cutting off at all, if he could do a long-term hold on the Baoqian Mountain, it was the ideal result that Liu Qin wanted to see the most.

But I never thought that after the Shu army hesitated for a while, it would actually launch an attack, and it was not along the sheep intestine path to attack, but climbed up from the cliff alive.

Liu Qin hurriedly ordered the archers of the Xiongnu army to shoot it, and for a while, the arrows were like weaving, covering almost half of the peaks.

The grass and trees on the top of the mountain are luxuriant, but the vegetation is sparse halfway up the mountainside, not to mention the tall trees, even the low shrubs are difficult to see, the bare cliffs are almost nothing else except the bare rocks, in such an environment, it is indeed quite difficult for the Wudang Flying Army to move forward, and the dilemma of having nowhere to hide, so that the Wudang Flying Army can only rely on the shield to resist.

In order to ensure the flexibility of mountain warfare, the shield chosen by the Wudang Flying Army is not the kind of large and thick square shield, which can be covered tightly from head to toe, but the shield they use is the kind of thin and small round shield, the diameter of this shield is only about two feet, and it can only barely protect the torso of the body, and the head and limbs cannot be covered at all.

Therefore, under the dense arrow rain of the Huns, the Wudang Fei army was also weak in its advance, and many soldiers were wounded by arrows and had to retreat, and the first attack was in vain.

Zhang Le was in a hurry at the bottom, it seemed that the myth of the invincibility of the Wudang Flying Army was really about to end in the Baoqian Mountain, Zhang Le was not convinced, and ordered the Wudang Flying Army to organize troops again and prepare to launch a second strong attack.

However, Liu Yin, who had just arrived, stopped Zhang Le's action and ordered the troops surrounding the mountain to temporarily withdraw, camp at the foot of the mountain, and find a way to attack after stabilizing their position.

Zhang Le said with some anxious eyes: "Big brother, this drum of energy, then decline, three and exhaustion, if you don't take the calf mountain today, the morale of the army will be greatly affected, even if you attack again tomorrow, there is no way!" ”

Liu Yin didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said calmly: "Our army has been fighting for days, and it is very tired, so go down to the village first, rest for a while, and then think about it in the long run, second brother, I can't eat hot tofu in this hurry." ”

Zhang Le naturally didn't dare to disobey Liu Yin's order, but just muttered: "Wait any longer, the daylily will be cold." Big brother, you see, the mountain is so high, the firearms battalion has no place at all, except for the Wudang Fei Army, the other armies only look at the cliff and sigh, but the Huns' defense is so tight, the Wudang Fei Army can't break through their defense line, and if you want to attack the Baoqian Mountain, I think it's very difficult to do. ”

Liu Yin said: "Second brother, you go down to rest first, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, if there is any way, let's talk about it tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
