Chapter 1052: Problems

I don’t think there is anything from afar, I just think that such a small mountain can save you what? It’s not a job that can be taken down by a charge! When I get closer and see clearly, I realize that things are far from that simple.

The mountain is indeed not high.

But the shape is quite unique, and it is thin at the bottom and thick at the top. Although there are obvious traces of manual trimming, the mountain has grown like this in general. There is no way to start on both sides of the cliffs. The remaining two sides are facing Guangshui City on one side, and on the other side, there is only a winding and twisting road, and the road is covered with various strange shapes of stones.

There are only two options to launch an attack.

Either attack from this side of Guangshui City, but the problem is that attacking from here will inevitably be covered by cover from Guangshui City. If you attack from the other side, the troops will not be able to expand at all, and you can invest up to 500 people at a time.

Liu Xinda gave Xu Yong ten thousand people. At first, Xu Yong felt that he could use so much there. When he saw this, he saw that there were really too many people attacked, most of them watched, and then he could not help but use the tactics of adding fuel to the body.

The casualties are difficult to estimate.

Looking at the hill close to him, Xu Yong was in trouble.

"Take it down in one day?" Huang Degong looked at the Tang army flag flying high above the hill, frowned into the shape of Sichuan. He was the most brave general under Xu Yong's command. He was also in trouble with such a terrain and situation.

"General Liu was suspicious and always felt that the Tang army had conspiracies." Xu Yong spread his hands, "He said that he must take Guangshui as quickly as possible and enter Xinyang. The best way is to "take Guangshui as soon as possible."

"Isn't this forcing us to fill in our lives?" Huang Degong said dissatisfiedly: "What conspiracies can the Tang army have? Now around Guangshui, we are full of scouts. Whenever there is any movement, we can know at the fastest speed. Moreover, most of the Tang army's troops are still in Guanzhong, Henan. When the large troops are mobilized, can there be a great shift in the universe? Who can this be hidden? Li Gan is in Xinyang, but there are only more than 10,000 troops. At best, Li Hao's navy. Can the navy go ashore to fight?"

"That's right, but military orders are military orders. If you say it's one day, you'll have to be one day!" Xu Yong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaoshan.

"I think the best way is to attack at the same time as General Liu. He attacks Guangshui and we attack this high ground." Huang Degong suggested.

Xu Yong shook his head: "This is not feasible. Look at the geographical location of Guangshui. If we attack Guangshui before we take down this high ground, there will be no effect if there are fewer people. If there are too many people, it will be too dense. Under the attack of both sides, the losses will be unbearable."

"That kind of loss is unbearable, but will the loss we will attack this high ground be smaller?" Huang Degong said: "It would be better to put a scoop of boiling water down, and it will hurt a little. Even if you can't take Guangshui City for a while, as long as they can disperse their strength, they may help us take this high ground."

Xu Yong pondered for a moment: "Fight and then talk about it first. If it is too difficult, I will make this suggestion to General Liu. Since he has always been worried that Tang Jun will have a backup plan, he might agree."

"He just doesn't want to lose his direct troops!" Huang Degong lowered his voice and said, "I heard that in Yizhou, I have been writing letters to Liu Xinda."

"Shut up!" Xu Yong glanced at Huang Degong: "Now, Yizhou is also our ally! If you say this, let me hear it from you again. Be careful that I will knock your mouth down!"

"Isn't this just telling you!" Huang Degong flattened his mouth: "I still know the importance of it."

"Don't say that again in the future." Xu Yong said: "You choose hundreds of soldiers and wear heavy armor. This dog-dream terrain cannot even be used for long-range cover. You can only fight hard. The left and right must let General Liu see that we have indeed worked hard."

"As for orders, I will take someone with me!" Huang Degong said hard.

Xu Yong nodded.

Liu Xinda actually had a full estimate of the difficulty of conquering this hill, but he had doubts, but he had to make such a decision.

The Guangzhou imperial court was determined to win Guangshui, the last enemy stronghold in Ezhou, expelled the other party, and then connected Eyue, Hunan, Jingnan, Yizhou and other places into a large area. To achieve this goal, it can be said that it connected the entire south.

After Guangshui is taken down, Yueyang will be difficult to defend, and Jingnan will be attacked from several directions. Given this major strategic situation, even if Liu Xinda has any doubts, he will have to implement it tremblingly.

On the one hand, I could see that Guangshui is now at an important node. How could the enemy not see it? Yingcheng, Anlu and other places, the enemy gave up too easily. Although there is the reason why the Tang army is now insufficient, if they defended each place, they would never have been able to reach Guangshui so easily.

Seeing that Lu Yong's troops had arrived near the high ground and began to prepare for an attack, Liu Xinda gave orders, thousands of cavalry at the headquarters of the Central Army immediately set out to monitor Guangshui City from a distance. If the Tang army in Guangshui City dispatched cavalry to attack Xu Yong and other troops, his own thousands of cavalry could be inserted into the battlefield.

Now Liu Xinda is not afraid of Duizi at all. On the contrary, he hopes that Ren Xiaonian and Duizi in Guangshui City will have strong military strength and such Duizi will have great benefits to him.

But the drums roared at the head of Guangshui City, but there was no sign of sending troops. Even long-range attack weapons were not used, and it seemed that they were about to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

This is a kind of helplessness and self-confidence.

As Xu Yong said, if the Confederate army surged up and filled the gap between the two sides, it would really become a target for the other party's long-range weapons to stand high.

The attack has begun.

Liu Xinda held his breath and watched Xu Yong's troops in the distance with anticipation began to move forward.

If he was a little nervous and worried about gains and losses before, he didn't have to think about anything at this moment. It was a mule or a horse. If he pulled it out and walked around, he would know that it would be a rough idea.

Xu Yong is an experienced general and is dealing well.

The soldiers wearing heavy armor dispersed their formation and began to climb up slowly.

The terrain here is very difficult to install a catapult. Even if it is installed, it will become a target for the enemy's attack. After Liu Xinda emphasized the speed of advance, he did not bring many heavy weapons of this type. He wanted to use them to deal with Guangshui City, but did not want to waste them on this highland in vain.

The Southern Confederate soldiers wearing heavy armor held a large shield and moved forward slowly. It was not that they didn't want to run fast, but that they could not speed up after wearing these heavy armors that weighed dozens of kilograms and climbing into such a dangerous place.

Huang Degong walked out from a half-man-high stone, glanced up a few times, and then ran towards the next cover point he had aimed at as fast as possible.

The rugged rocks on the mountain caused a great obstacle to their progress, but at the same time, it also prevented the opponent from using weapons such as catapults and stone cannons, which made both sides tie.

Qin Crazi pulled the hard bow in his hand, glanced for a while, but put it down, shook his head and said, "It's not very meaningful, it's hard to aim. Moreover, their heavy armor is difficult to kill even if they use armor-breaking cones."

Liu Yuan stared at the iron-armored monsters flashing among the stones and said leisurely: "That's because your archery skills are not good. If General Chen Changping or General Li Hai are here, one arrow will be kept, and these people will not be enough for them to shoot."

Qin Crazi glared at Liu Yuan: "If I had the ability of them, would I come to be your deputy?"

Liu Yuan laughed.

Although the enemy's advance was very slow, the two generals of the Tang army on the mountain seemed extremely dull and seemed to not take their opponents seriously at all.

Huang Degong naturally didn't know the other party's condition at this time, and he was still moving forward carefully.

He could already see the faces of the enemy behind the stone wall made on the opposite side. The scattered formations came here and slowly narrowed. After arriving here, the 500-man heavy armored team had already moved closer together.

Just after a stone, the head was poked out, and with a whoosh, a feather arrow had already shot. Huang Degong shrank his head and the feather arrow flew past the air. Then he heard a ding sound. When he turned around, he hit a soldier a few steps behind him and entered an inch of armor.

He actually broke through the heavy armor, and Huang Degong was shocked.

The soldier reached out and pulled down the feather arrow and looked at the arrow: "Armor-breaking cone!"

Huang Degong shook his head hard, and only the nouveau riche in the north could afford such refined armor-breaking cones. In the south, such arrows were generally only available to generals who were good at shooting. First, the price was ridiculously high, and secondly, it was too difficult to control.

Going further ahead, it was only fifty meters, but it was empty and nothing. This was the most difficult distance. As long as you could rush to the enemy and with heavy armor, they could cause a major blow to the enemy.

Such heavy armor was only found by Xu Yong from 10,000 people in the entire army. It was impossible for the Tang army to have such heavy armor to compete with them. In the organization of the northern army, only one Modao Army was equipped with such heavy armor, and other troops had never heard of it.

As long as you are close to each other, you can push the opponent with the heavy armor all over your body.

"Rise the shield, turtle formation, and advance!" Huang Degong ordered: "Send a signal to General Xu, and the large army can start to unfold."

Five hundred armors gathered together, and large shields were lifted up one by one, crowded with people, pushed by people, and slowly walked out of the rocks.
