Chapter 860: Offensive and defensive stalemate

Under an order, the Hun army roared up, the sound of shouting and killing sounded all over the mountain, and on the top of the entire Longji Ridge, the banner was unfurled, the swords and guns were shining, the momentum was prosperous, and the earth shook the mountain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Those Shu soldiers who were originally searching in the mountains repelled the Marquis like frightened birds, and when they saw the Hun soldiers ambushing the soldiers, they immediately fell into the wilderness and left. Perhaps these scouts were not the most powerful, but their speed was unparalleled, especially when they fled, they were faster than rabbits, except for a few scouts who were close to the Huns who were sniped with bows and arrows, most of the scouts still escaped quickly.

The scouts ran back to the Shu army in a fit of breath, but they didn't need to report anymore, everything could be seen clearly, there was an ambush of the Huns on Longji Ridge.

Many people can't help but be very afraid, if it weren't for Luo Xian's more cautious dispatch of scouts to explore the way, and recklessly moving forward, it is likely that he would have fallen into the ambush circle of the Huns by now.

Everyone's eyes looked at Luo Xian, but at this moment, Luo Xian's face was calm, and there was no wave in the ancient well, neither rejoicing that there was an ambush of the Huns on Longji Ridge, nor being frustrated by the enemy blocking here, it seemed that everything was in his expectation.

Look at the Hun soldiers on the mountain, as far as possible, and the number is not small. Luo Xi ordered the mobilization of 1,000 elite soldiers, crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers, formed an attack phalanx, and launched a tentative attack on Longji Mountain.

The shield bearers of the Shu army put their shields on top of their heads, arranged a dense shield phalanx, and rushed towards the top of Longji Mountain under the cover of arrows.

This shield phalanx is generally used in offensive combat, and can effectively defend against enemy bows and arrows. A person holding a shield, its protective area is limited after all, and it is impossible to cover everything, and the biggest advantage of the shield array is to cover each other, covering the parts of the body that a single shield cannot protect, and slowly moving towards the top of the mountain.

The uphill mountain road is quite steep and relatively narrow, and the shield phalanx must not be broken into zero, and the large phalanx of dozens of people in a row is arranged into a small phalanx of three or five people, but the formation of the Shu army is not scattered, and it is still in an orderly row.

The bows and arrows of the Huns have never stopped, at first it was only a relatively sporadic shooting, after all, the Shu army has just entered the range, even if the bow and arrow are shot, the power is much smaller, and it cannot penetrate the defense of the Shu army at all.

As the Shu army advanced to the top of the mountain, the arrows of the Huns also became dense, countless arrows only hit the shield, making a "poof" sound, the heavy wooden shield can easily resist the sharp arrows, and a number of arrows are inserted in the shield on each side.

Under such a tight defense of the Shu army, most of the arrows shot by the Huns fell on the shield, and the missed ones were few, as for whether they could hit the Shu soldiers, it was completely by luck, after all, no matter how clever the archery was, it was impossible to penetrate the gap in the shield, and even if it could penetrate the past, it might not be able to shoot the Shu soldiers, so don't look at the arrows of the Huns, the casualties of the Shu army were very few.

On the contrary, it was the crossbowmen behind the Shu army who fired suppressively on the top of the mountain, killing and wounding many Hun soldiers.

Hu Yanhao looked anxious and ordered to throw rolling logs and stones to deal with the Shu army, so as not to let the Shu army approach the top of the mountain.

Stones and rolling logs roared down, rolling down the mountain quickly with the power of sweeping thousands of armies.

Condescending to fight, rolling wood and stone is the cheapest, the most obvious effect of the weapon, low cost refers to the rolling wood and stone is relatively easy to obtain, especially in the mountains of combat, trees and stones are ready-made, inexhaustible, inexhaustible; The good effect means that the rolling wood and stones are extremely powerful, and can deal a fatal blow to the enemy army attacking the mountain.

Although the shield array of the Shu army is powerful, it can effectively block the attack of the arrows, but it has no effect on the rolling wood and stones, once it is hit by the rolling wood and the stone, I am afraid that even people with shields will turn into mud.

The Huns waited until the Shu army approached, and threw down more than ten rolling logs and countless stones in one go, and the roar sounded all over the mountain, and the momentum was amazing.

However, the Shu army seems to have been prepared for a long time, and the rolling wood and stone is a standing weapon, especially in the mountain defense operations, which is almost a must-have, and the Shu army can not prevent the Huns from using these weapons.

In fact, the best place to use the rolling wood is a mountainous area with a large slope, a flat slope and a narrow road, such a terrain, once the rolling wood falls, the enemy in the middle of the slope does not even have the slightest chance to escape.

However, the uneven terrain is greatly limited to the effect of the rolling log, the opponent can hide in the dead corner of the rolling log, you can easily dodge the attack, and there is the tree on the slope, it is the enemy of the rolling wood, once the rolling log touches the tree, even the opportunity to roll forward is gone.

The terrain on Longji Mountain is suitable for this, with undulating slopes and overgrown trees, allowing the Shu army to easily choose to avoid and avoid the thunderous blow.

However, because the Shu army had to dodge the rolling wood and stones, the well-maintained formation was dispersed, and the attacking Shu soldiers had to use the method of fighting alone, but they still did not forget the mission of attacking forward, and launched the final attack towards the top of the mountain.

The Shu army could no longer maintain its inherent formation, which was a good thing for the Huns, because they could not effectively defend against arrows when they fought alone, and the Huns' bows and arrows became rampant again.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, the Huns could not repel the attack of the Shu army, and the Shu army wanted to attack the top of the mountain, but it was always almost hot, although the battle between the two sides was fierce, but it seemed that it was not easy to complete the final breakthrough.

Seeing that the red sun was sinking in the west, Luo Xi also ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and decided to fight in Japan.

The Shu army retreated like a tide, and the fierce battle between the two sides finally came to a temporary end as the distance expanded, and the entire Longji Ridge also returned to calm.

Today's attack was originally with a tentative purpose, the Shu army did not do its best, Luo attack is to see how tight the defense of the Huns on the mountain is through today's attack, so as to choose a more suitable way of attack. After a day of fierce fighting, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides Luo Raid is also very much in his eyes, I believe that when the battle is fought again tomorrow, Luo Raid will choose a better way to attack and take the Longji Ridge in one fell swoop.
