Chapter 190
This time, it was not groundless, nor was it a bluff. At the foot of the mountain, the mighty army led by Liu Yao was like a forest, slowly spreading out, one team after another, weaving a magnificent picture of the military formation, and its momentum was unstoppable, slowly approaching the lonely mountain.
The crowd was surging, with no end in sight, like the surging sea. Every soldier was a drop of water in this steel torrent, gathering into an indestructible force, and its majesty and momentum were enough to make the mountains and rivers change color.
Yuan Shao stood on a high place, overlooking the overall situation, with a sharp gaze, taking in all the scenes. He knew that the previous battle had already frightened many soldiers of the coalition forces, and their morale had dropped to the bottom. So he made a prompt decision and ordered his soldiers to beat the war drums immediately.
Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered his men to start beating drums to cheer, intending to wake up everyone and boost morale.
Dong Dong Dong!
The sounds intertwined like thunder, and each blow shook the air and everyone's heart. The flags fluttered in the wind.
Under the exciting drums and fluttering flags, the allied soldiers were gradually awakened.
"Liu Ziyi! If you have the courage today, come and attack the mountain!"
Yuan Shao set up four lines of defense on this hill, which can be said to be impregnable.
He couldn't wait to see Liu Yao's head broken and bleeding in front of his own defense line.
...
At the foot of the mountain, Liu Yao held the Overlord Spear of the Breaking Array, wore the Qionglong Mingguang Armor, had a Bailian Tang horizontal sword on his waist, and the king of Han horses, Chilong, was under his crotch. He looked majestic and looked down on the heroes.
Behind Liu Yao, a huge battle flag with the Chinese character "Liu" fluttered. Under the flag, Dian Wei stood like an iron tower, with muscular body and eyes like torches, exuding an inviolable aura.
Guo Jia walked briskly in the morning light, his eyes flashing with a calculating light.
"My lord, after this night of consumption, Yuan Shao's army is already exhausted and morale is low. It is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy."
Liu Yao heard this and laughed like thunder, resounding through the valley, "Feng Xiao's plan has always been ingenious, tell us quickly, let us enjoy it together!"
"My lord, you can... do this..."
After hearing this, Liu Yao laughed and said, "Hahaha, Guo Jia, it's a good thing you are my military advisor, otherwise I would be in trouble."
"Haha, it's just a little trick, but I don't know your peach wine."
"When you come back this time, I will give you a pot!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Since soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol when they are fighting outside, even Guo Jia dare not disobey military orders. They all wait until the war is over before they can enjoy it.
"Gao Lan, come quickly. I have something important to ask of you. It's urgent!"
"Take 5,000 soldiers and various tools and set off immediately!"
"Yes, sir!" Gao Lan responded.
Soon, the Bingzhou army was in full force, with 20,000 heavy infantry and archers marching side by side, with great momentum. The archers held the divine arm crossbows, and the arrows were like rain, cutting through the sky continuously, showing amazing range and power.
Under this rain of arrows, although the arrows of the coalition forces on the top of the mountain were dense, they were like ants trying to shake a tree, and it was difficult to touch the Bingzhou army.
Seeing this, Gao Lan was even more energetic. He personally led his soldiers, carrying all kinds of tools on his shoulders and hands, such as pickaxes, shovels, claw hammers, pickaxe handles... In short, they took whatever they could find. Their goal was simple, that is, to cut off all the surrounding streams.
The trickle of water was completely cut by the ruthless blade in an instant, as if the veins of nature were forcibly pulled out, leaving a series of shocking scars.
"Asshole! Liu Yao, you are such a shameless person!!" Yuan Shao stood on the top of the mountain, his hair standing on end, his voice like a bell, shaking the air around him.
On the top of the mountain, Yuan Shao was so angry that he cursed loudly. Once the surrounding streams were cut off, the springs on the top could not sustain hundreds of thousands of troops at all.
Once this disaster happened, even the food and grass stored up like a mountain would be nothing but a tree without roots, and it would be difficult to support the survival needs of this mighty army of hundreds of thousands.
Their food and grass could still support them, but if the water source was cut off, they would be wiped out in just two weeks.
Now their only advantage is to rely on the geographical advantage to make Liu Yao hit his head and bleed.
"Hmph! Even so, you can't attack the mountain! In terms of military strength, the coalition still has an overwhelming advantage!"
He didn't believe that he, Liu Yao, could send down divine soldiers from heaven to break through such a solid defense.
Moreover, most of the soldiers under Liu Yao's command were cavalry, and the proportion of infantry was very small. Cavalry was not suitable for attacking mountains at all.
Liu Yao was also very clear about this.
Therefore, he did not let his cavalry blindly charge on the steep mountain road, but cleverly arranged it, so that the cavalry turned into dragons and shuttled between the enemy.Between us, we constantly harassed and restrained Yuan Shao's 150,000 strong army with flexible tactics, making it difficult for them to sit in the hall and enjoy a moment of peace even though they had natural defenses.
The world may have forgotten that Bingzhou has been a battlefield for fighting against grassland eagles since ancient times. The soldiers there have the heroic spirit of dancing with the wind and coexisting with the grassland in their blood. In addition, with the careful teaching of Li Guang's descendants and the years of honing, their riding and shooting skills are no longer something that ordinary people can achieve.
Yuan Shao's 150,000 troops are stationed on the mountain and occupy a geographical advantage. Liu Yao and his men will suffer if they force an attack.
But...
Liu Yao still has several legions in his hands that have not yet been put into the battlefield.
At this moment, at the edge of the sky, a dark tide as deep as the night quietly surged, surging from afar.
The crowd was dense like a forest, with flags fluttering, interweaving in the wind to form a magnificent picture. Among them, a large flag with dazzling yellow characters and another tall flag with tall characters are particularly eye-catching, and they flutter in the wind.
The visitors are the legion led by Huang Zhong of Bingzhou, and the deputy general is Gao Shun.
This legion is a sharp blade that is famous for overcoming difficulties. The soldiers under its command are all warriors who have been tempered by thousands of times. Therefore, the soldiers under their command are mainly heavy infantry and crossbowmen, and there is also an elite team of 800 people, called Xianzhen Camp!
This Xianzhen Camp stands out among the majestic lineup of Bingzhou Iron Cavalry. The armor worn by its soldiers is all ingenious and tailor-made masterpieces. All armors are specially customized.
Talking about the conventional equipment of the Bingzhou Army, even those ordinary things are already valuable, enough to make ordinary people astonished. And the equipment of the 800 Xianzhen Camp soldiers in front of them is extremely luxurious, and the cost is huge and difficult to estimate.
If Liu Yao had not been wealthy, he could have barely managed to hold on. If it had been placed on an ordinary lord, he would have been daunted.
Now the forces of both sides are almost equal, and Liu Yao already has enough forces to completely surround the entire hill.
