Chapter 258: The Battle Halfway Up the Mountain II
readx;
General Du stopped the attack of the bow and arrow, and the pressure felt by Long Er's side instantly disappeared into invisibility, Long Er carefully put down the shield in his hand, and observed the direction of General Du's position halfway up the mountain for a while, before he smiled affirmatively, raised his sword high above his head, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the enemy's bow and arrow should have been shot!
"Rush!" The Sea Clan teams on the left and right roared together, responding to Ryuuji, and then accelerated at the same time, and launched a new round of charge towards General Du's position!
Looking at the Sea Clan army that was getting closer and closer below, General Du smiled disdainfully, waved his big hand directly, and said sharply: "Rolling wood and stones, let go!"
As General Du gave an order, his sergeants moved together, and in an instant, the loud sound of "Boom...", a giant tree with a length of seven or eight meters, and a boulder with a diameter of three or four meters, rolled down the mountain together! That momentum, like a galloping horse, was magnificent!
"I ...... Rub!" Seeing this scene suddenly appear, Long Er, who was still full of confidence before, suddenly opened his mouth in horror: "These turtle grandsons are really good! Where did you get so many rolling wood and stones? This is simply the rhythm of playing with the dead!"
After all, Ryuuji is an old fritter who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has been following the big chief as the big chief's personal adjutant since he was a child, although the rolling wood and stone on General Du's side were thrown down very suddenly, Long Er was shocked, but he could still maintain his usual calmness.

I heard Ryuuji shouting loudly: "Everyone, save your life, retreat with all your might!"
Many of the two teams of Sea Clan soldiers who rushed up the mountain with Ryuuji were completely shocked by the terrifying momentum of the rolling wood and stone, but fortunately, Ryuuji's "retreat" shouted in time, otherwise most of these people would have to explain to this hillside!
According to Ryuuji's order, the two teams of the two sea tribes quickly withdrew along the original road to Cao Ke's position at the bottom of the mountain, but many of the soldiers they dragged to the end still died under General Du's round of rolling wood and stones, and not even a complete corpse could be left, which made Ryuuji feel very distressed.
Coming to the front of Cao Ke, who had a stern face, Long Er held back his grief, saluted Cao Ke with a standard military salute, and reported: "Back to Cao Gongzi, the enemy's defense halfway up the mountain is quite strong, we didn't expect it, the troops suffered heavy losses, and we had no choice but to give up and continue the attack, and temporarily withdrew......
Cao Ke nodded expressionlessly, patted Long Er's shoulder, and comforted: "Brother Long, it's not your fault, it's my ...... that I didn't make an accurate judgment on the stubbornness of the enemy, which caused so many Sea Clan brothers to die."
The eldest grandson Ling, who was standing behind Cao Ke, took a step forward and said to Cao Ke and Ryuuji: "I said you two, now is not the time to take responsibility for each other, right? Rolling wood and stones, they should have just collected and brought them when they retreated to the halfway up the mountain, and their number should not be much, and the strength of our side is still several times or even ten times that of the enemy on the whole, and we continue to attack, I really don't believe it, we can't take their temporary defensive position!"
Listening to Changsun Ling's words, Cao Ke waved his hand directly and said: "Ling'er, things are not as simple as you think, yes, I also agree with your judgment of the comparison of the forces of the enemy and us, this battle should be our final victory, but how to get this victory, there is a lot of article in it!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Changsun Ling was slightly stunned: "What other articles are there? We have all completely opened up with the enemy, and now the masters of both sides in the center of the field are still fighting hard, what are you still hesitating about?"
Cao Ke let out a sigh of relief and explained, "First of all, there is the problem of casualties on our side...... It stands to reason that there should not be many defensive tools in the hands of the enemy, but none of us knows how many there are, and if we rush forward in waves like this, the number of dead and wounded may be unacceptable to us......"
"Moreover, from the beginning of the battle between the enemy and us, the enemy only sent their masters to block our masters, and then, they completely cowered in the position on the mountainside, waiting for us to attack, what is their purpose? In my opinion, they are waiting for support! In other words, even if we launch a strong attack regardless of casualties, if the battle is dragged into a tug-of-war, after a long time, the enemy's reinforcements arrive, not only will we not be able to save the prince and eldest brother on the mountain, but even our safety will be seriously threatened!"
"Based on the above two points, I will conclude that not only can we not continue to send people to storm the enemy's position, but we also don't have the time required to storm the position...... That's the real crux of the battle right now......"
Eldest Sun Ling nodded clearly, and then asked, "Brother Ke, do you mean that we need to quickly come up with a way to break down the enemy's defenses and solve the entire battle in a short time?"
"That's right!" Cao Ke nodded affirmatively, and then fell into deep thought: "But how to think about such a method?......
As Cao Ke's voice fell, all the commanders, including Changsun Ling and Long Er, fell into a burst of melancholy......
Halfway up the mountainside, General Du's position.
The adjutant beside General Du saw that there was no movement after the Hai Clan's team withdrew down the mountain, so he happily said to General Du: "General, the enemy is scared by us! Don't dare to attack rashly again!"
General Du was slightly amused, nodded his head, and then said: "They think that I Du someone is too simplistic! They think that if I am caught off guard, they will be able to break up and defeat my team by blowing up such a round with artillery, and they really want to blind their hearts! How can I be so easy to bow down and be subordinate? Now, these bastards below should know how powerful I am! See what other ways they can attack? As long as we can hold on until Prince Tang Feng's reinforcements arrive, when the time comes, we will attack them back and forth and give them a spoonful of stew!"
After speaking, General Du pondered for a while, turned his head, looked at the adjutant and said, "You go, count the remaining number of bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones, and see how many waves of attacks we can support?"
"Yes!" the adjutant ordered, and hurriedly turned and left.
After a short time, the adjutant completed the task assigned by General Du and returned to General Du's side: "General Hui, the enemy's offensive just now has consumed about one-fifth of our defensive tools!"
General Du snorted: "In other words, we can withstand the enemy's attack at least four times? It is enough! It should not take the enemy to attack four times, and Prince Tangfeng's reinforcements will arrive!" While speaking, General Du squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at Cao Ke's position at the bottom of the mountain, and said with disdain: "No matter who you are, and no matter why you suddenly attack my team, as soon as the prince comes, it will be your real end, so wait for it!"
Under the mountain, Cao Ke's position.
At this time, Cao Ke had already sat on the ground, holding a small stick in his hand, and was scratching around on the ground, thinking of various ways to attack, but what made Cao Ke feel very helpless was that no matter what method he came up with, he could not guarantee that he could not control the casualties on his side and quickly take the enemy's position at the same time.
"It would be nice if Long'er was here!" Throwing the small stick in his hand, Cao Ke said a little dejectedly: "If Long'er is here, you can summon a fire dragon, with a powerful fire dragon, only two people, I and Long'er, you can entangle and even eliminate the opponent's masters, and the rest of the masters can rush to the enemy's position and kill the Quartet! The enemy's defensive tools are effective against ordinary soldiers, but the damage to the masters is very limited...... It's a pity that the dragon is still recovering from its injuries, and even if the fire dragon comes, no one will be able to control it......"
Eldest Sun Ling also sighed and said, "If Long'er doesn't come, it's okay for Kanaka to come!" With his ability to be invisible, he should be able to sneak into the mountain without knowing it, and ask the prince and Cao Hong to lead the troops to rush down from the mountain, and the enemy's defense tools are all aimed at the bottom, see how they can defend against attacks from the mountain...... However, Karnaca has been sent back to Wanghai City by you to report the news, and I don't say anything practical about it......"
Listening to Changsun Ling's unintentional words, Cao Ke seemed to have grasped some key, his big eyes widened, and he looked at Changsun Ling and hurriedly said, "Ling'er, what did you just say?......?"
Speaking of this, Cao Kemeng hugged Changsun Ling into his arms, and even kissed Changsun Ling's round face several times, which made Changsun Ling very embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "Brother Ke...... What are you doing? This ...... There are so many people here......"
"I really love you to death, Ling'er!" Cao Ke let go of the eldest grandson Ling and said excitedly: "It's really a word that woke up someone in a dream! Before, I was always obsessed with how we should break through the enemy's position, but I didn't think about it at all, we are not alone now, we still have friendly troops! Just like you just said, as long as my eldest brother and the prince lead the army to kill from the mountain, we can flank the front and rear and capture the enemy's position halfway up the mountain in one fell swoop!"
Eldest Sun Ling glanced at Cao Ke angrily, and said, "What about capturing the enemy's position? Karnaca is not here, how can you pass the news of our arrival to the mountain, the prince and Brother Cao Hong don't know that we have come to save them, how can they lead the troops down the mountain? You, you are really smart, and you are confused for a while!"
