Chapter 845: Cottage
Qin Han was indeed captured, but he was not captured in Xingwu County.
Chen Shuozhen's 'ascension' is indeed shocking, but it is only the city wall where Chen Shuozhen is located. After all, Gao Xiujun immediately ordered the siege of the city, and there was no time for the news to spread.
But this is enough, breaking through a city gate, and the number of people is superior, basically the army is defeated and falls.
Although Qin Han was shocked, he quickly reacted, and seeing that Xingwu County was no longer able to hold it, he hurriedly gathered his troops and ordered a retreat.
But how to withdraw? It's a tough question.
The direction of Chenghui must not even think about it, there is no reason to run to other people's nests.
And Xuefeng County, it is also impossible to go. Because Xuefeng County is now occupied by the King of Qian, run over there, and the King of Qian will lead troops to intercept it, will you fight or not? If you don't fight, you will be captured, and if you fight, ha, attack the prince, is this a rebellion?
Then there is only one road left in Wuxian.
But the question arises again, is Wuxian so easy to win? Let's not talk about whether the nearly 8,000 troops gathered can capture Wuxian, even if they can capture it, but there are still pursuers behind them, will they give themselves a chance to attack?
Obviously impossible, even Wuxian will take the initiative to send troops to intercept it, just wait for the friendly forces to come back and forth, and easily get it all done.
In this case, it really made Qin Han think of a place to go.
Regarding the matter of Zhou Shaoyu and Shuibo Liangshan, very few people know about it, at least Qin Han doesn't know, and Feng Ji didn't publicize it at all. After all, Zhou Shaoyu's reputation is too high, and without full evidence, speaking out will only affect his prestige.
I don't know if I don't know, it doesn't mean that Qin Han doesn't know that there is a cottage in Wu County.
In any case, when Chen Shuozhen appeared in the public eye, he appeared as an anti-thief, and directly occupied Xingwu County, and according to the investigation, before that, Chen Shuozhen was located in Wu County, near Xingwu County, and had a cottage.
According to Qin Han's guess, since they have already attacked the city and plundered the land later, they naturally don't need to continue to occupy the mountain as the king, maybe they will continue to develop the cottage at the beginning, but isn't it already 'Zhao'an' in the future? Now that the identity has been legally whitewashed, there is naturally no need to continue to develop cottages.
Presumably, even if there are still people on top, there will not be too many, so it is completely possible to attack it quickly, and then use the location of the cottage to temporarily defend and wait for reinforcements. After all, it is necessary to retain a certain amount of vital force, and the entire Tan Wangfu has only such a small army, and now it has lost so much, and it can no longer be consumed.
I have to say that the idea is good, but Qin Han, who just heard some news from the 'Tan King', didn't know more specific information at all, let alone know that the so-called cottage was actually Zhou Shaoyu's.
Not only that, in order to exterminate the Xingwu Army, Zhou Shaoyu also specially set a plan, that is, to find a way to lead the Xingwu Army to attack the cottage, and rely on the geographical advantage to fight a wave of defense, so as to achieve the purpose of consuming the number of local people.
I just didn't think that the situation was changing too fast and it didn't come in handy at all.
And what Qin Han has to face is such a 'strong city'.
When a large number of soldiers were sent as spies to finally know the location of the cottage, Qin Han took the army and looked at the mountain city in front of him, stupid!
The army of 8,000 people marched, and the movement was naturally not small, and the cottage also had its careful vigilance work, so when he heard the news that the army was coming, the cottage had already closed its gate and waited for it, and at the same time sent fast horses to Wuxian and Gao Xiujun to report the news.
Fang Jinzhi was very happy, originally very dissatisfied with his stay in the cottage, as a military general woman, of course, she wanted to take the initiative to lead the troops to fight, but the cottage is really inseparable from manpower management, at this moment, you always need a person who is familiar with the cottage and can be trusted to have a certain ability to lead troops.
Needless to say? There is only one Fang Jinzhi.
For the sake of the overall situation, Fang Jinzhi had to endure it.
I never thought that someone would send it to the door!
"Eight thousand, tsk, there are really a lot of people." Fang Jinzhi kept chatting, and there was also a certain amount of pressure.
Wuxian County wants to guard, Li Xiuning wants to send troops, and the soldiers of the cottage will transfer a lot of strong men, because they didn't expect that someone would come to attack the cottage at this time!
Fortunately, as the original base camp, in addition to the mandatory training of men, the cottage is also the training place for female guards, and the number is gradually increasing. And the final arrangement, in addition to the need for personal guards around the sisters, that is, the nurse team that has gradually formed also needs to be protected, considering that if the male army is used to protect it, it will be easy to get into trouble, so this has expanded the scale of the female guard.
The first trick in the cottage is barely five hundred strong men, which is a bit big, because there are a lot of younger or older people in it. But this does not mean that you can't fight, on the contrary, it is stronger to some extent.
For example, strength.
The cottage is a base area, and all the secret workshops and workshops are located here, and it is impossible for these people to be transferred together. It's like the blacksmith who strikes iron and his apprentices, there are not many people, there are fewer skilled workers, and the speed of building is slow.
Just kidding, blacksmith, how many hammers do you have to smash at the end of the day? There's nothing you can't do without energy.
Compared with the strong men, the number of female guards is more, a thousand here.
This was formed last time when Zhou Shaoyu sent people from Jincheng. So many people, most of them are women, it is not difficult to recruit a female army, and the treatment is not bad, but it takes longer to train, and it has not been completely formed until now, so it has not been transferred.
Fang Jinzhi sat at the top and laid out a series of defensive commands, and after a short time, flags came from all over the mountain, all of which were ready. At this time, Qin Han also led the army to the bottom of the cottage.
Zhou Shaoyu chose this place at the beginning, and it was very shameless to come to Qinglong Mountain, Baihu Mountain, Xuanwu Mountain and Qilin Mountain. The green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, Xuanwu is behind, and the unicorn is in the middle, as for the Vermilion Bird, it refers to the Vermilion Bird Army.
But now, that is, Qilin Mountain and part of Xuanwu Mountain have been developed, and the green dragon and white tiger are still the same.
In addition to the top of the mountain, the trees of Qilin Mountain have basically been cut down, and the gate at the foot of the mountain is entered, and there is a mountain road on the left and right, and the layers are like stairs in a Z-shaped shape to build up. Of course, this is also with an arc, the mountain, and not boxy, if it is not for the Qilin Mountain next to the Xuanwu Mountain, and the back of the Xuanwu Mountain is a cliff that does not need to be guarded at all, then the mountain road must be built into a circle of 'mouth' shape.
As for climbing directly without taking the mountain road, don't even think about it, the height is indeed not high, the shortest layer is estimated to be four or five meters, but it can't stand the top and build a wall.
Then you can only take the mountain road, but the mountain road is not easy to walk, looking at the mountain is not high, but so back and forth cross up, the actual distance is not short at all, not to mention the climbing, not to mention, the mountain road, the set up gates!
It's just extremely obscene.
In short, although Qin Han doesn't have much experience in leading soldiers, he has also studied countless military books, but this kind of mountain city is simply unheard of.
But you don't have to know that if you want to take down this thing, the difficulty is a bit against the sky.
"Report, General Qin, the Chenghui Prefecture army has completely occupied Xingwu County, and its main general, Gao Xiujun, has organized troops to pursue, and it is expected to reach this place in an hour."
"Report, General Qin, Wuxian has closed the gates of the city and entered the guard, and an army with an unknown number has arrived here."
Qin Han's face darkened, yes, now he is forced to have no choice, if he doesn't want to fight, he has to fight, otherwise he will wait to be caught in the trap.
However, not long after, Qin Han, who ordered the siege of the city, wanted to cry without tears.
The gate at the foot of the hill was open, there was not a single defender inside, and it seemed that there was not much room for flat ground inside. Qin Han took the lead, led the army to rush in, and then, dumbfounded again!
Because the main gate is quite large, blocking a lot of perspectives, I didn't see anything outside, and after rushing in, I realized that there were two doors hidden behind the main gate, blocking the passage to the top of the mountain on the left and right.
In other words, if you want to rush forward, you have to break through this door first!
It's just that what kind of dog, the army rushed in, where did you expect it to be like this, and thought that the reason why the gate was open was to hit the mountain road, after all, there was a mountain gate around the corner in front, and the guards of the cottage were all on the upper floor.
Who would have thought that there would be no way out at all?
The people who went in first were a little confused, but before Qin Han could give the order, the unsuspecting army behind them also rushed in, and directly crowded the open space quickly, and the people behind realized that something was wrong and did not squeeze in again.
However, there are still too many, and I can't show my body at all, so how can I hit the city gate like this? Those soldiers carrying rolling logs are still squeezed at the main gate and can't get in and out!
It was also at this time that many people roared in unison from the mountain.
"Attack!"
As soon as the words fell, a big stone roared down, directly smashing two and injuring three. It's just a piece, and it's just throwing it down.
For a while, there was a wail and a panic.
Qin Han was lucky, he actually dodged it all, and then it was easy to finally send the rolling wood in and hit the door, well, in fact, there were many people who died, and they were all lying on the ground, so the space was naturally a little looser, that is, it was not so easy to get down?
The side door was knocked open, and Qin Han's subordinates immediately roared with joy, and the morale of the big drop increased, but when they braved the rolling wood and boulders and other lethal new weapons to charge for a distance, another gate blocked here!
Then they cried, it's too obscene, how can you sauce purple, didn't the first door just crash open, why this door, it's already smashed and still hasn't opened, how many stones are blocked behind you!
When it's easy to bump away, people will already slip away. I can't do it, so keep rushing, and then, another door!!
Qin Han felt that he was participating in a game of life and death, and the process was simply not too torturous. People are cowering on top, constantly hitting you while not giving you the opportunity to fight head-on, just watching you work hard to break through one door after another.
Originally, Qin Han could barely maintain the army's momentum without a rout, but when it was easy to take the third mountain gate, it finally collapsed.
In addition to the main gate, the first gate is the two hidden side doors behind the main gate, rushing all the way up, the first corner is the second gate, and the third gate is the intersection of the left and right mountain roads, and after hitting it open, it is found that the situation here and the foot of the mountain are almost exactly the same.
A vacant land that occupies a small area, with two roads on the left and right, but it is still the same trick, which is specially built tall in front of the door and hides the two side doors in the back!
So, the scene that just happened at the foot of the mountain was repeated again! Hula squeezed in, and then there were many dead and wounded.
The thought of having to break through several mountain gates to reach the top of the mountain makes me cry! These are only three gates, how many people have died?
"Run!" I don't know who roared, the army was instantly defeated, and Qin Han couldn't even stop a few deserters.
Well, in fact, Qin Han also collapsed, but he knew that if he didn't take the mountain city, it would be a dead end, so he had to insist, but in the current situation, what else could he do?
You can only go out of the cottage first to collect the remnants of the army, and then run into the mountains.
"First team, release the arrows!"
As soon as the first wave of deserters ran out of the main gate at the foot of the mountain, they heard these words.
An army of women, numbering 1,000 people, wearing leather armor, long swords, and bows and arrows, appeared here, and in front of them, there was a layer of repulsive horses.
That's right, the only ones who defended the cottage were the five hundred strong men, and there were also some strong women. As for this women's team, at the beginning, they were lurking in Qinglong Mountain and Baihu Mountain on the left and right.
When the enemy troops below rushed into the cottage, they approached secretly, and when there was a rout, they immediately rushed out to set up a position, and one bow and arrow were directly facing the gate.
Because of the training time, it is impossible to think that this group of female soldiers has superb archery skills, and now even if they are the best in archery, the distance of 100 paces is excellent.
But it doesn't matter, it's not far away now, and it may be a bit difficult to aim at one person alone, but what about just asking for a shot into the frame of the main door? It's easy.
After a few rounds of arrow raindown, who would dare to rush out? I can only hide far away on the mountain road first, and I can't shoot this distance, but the problem is that I can't stand it and keep throwing stones.
"It's down, we're down!" For a while, begging for mercy was everywhere, and this battle was simply impossible to fight.
Qin Han almost vomited blood in anger, hating the designer who built this cottage to death, he had seen such a trivial thing, but he had never seen such a trivial one, how afraid of death did you have to be, so that this mountain was built like a turtle shell.
Seeing that the defeat of the army was doomed, Qin Han, who felt ashamed of the kindness of King Tan, threw away the spear in his hand, pulled out the accessories on his waist, and raised his arm, which was ready to die.
Then, Qin Han heard a word.
"Abandon the darkness and surrender to the light to capture the generals alive, you can pardon their innocence, and reward them with one hundred taels of silver!"
Then there was a 'bell', and the long sword in Qin Han's hand was picked up, and before he could react, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and then, then, and then he didn't know anything.
