Chapter 430 Attacking the Mountain (two chapters in one)

In the second year of Jingkang, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, when the sun was at its zenith.

Departing from the camp of the Jinbing West Route Army, there were two thousand infantrymen in total. After a short march, they finally came to the foot of the Cooking Bread Mountain.

At such a time, a total of more than a hundred large and small trees on the top of the mountain have just been cut down, and there is no time to cut off the redundant branches.

The dilapidated mountain temple was only half demolished.

Hundreds of large green bricks have not yet been transported in place.

Hu Biao, who heard such news at the time, hurriedly put on the heavy armor that he took off while working, and carrying a horse spear and a recurve bow, he came to the edge of the hill and looked down the hill.

You can see these golden soldiers infantry, although they are obviously cannon fodder troops among the golden soldiers.

But most of the people had a piece of leather armor on their bodies, and even [-] to [-] percent of them wore a piece of iron armor in the style of fish scale armor.

There are various arms configurations such as spears, swords and shields, knives and axes, bows and arrows. Judging from the details of marching and formation, the combat effectiveness is quite good.

More importantly, with the continuous victory of the Song Dynasty.

These cannon fodder troops are now quite high in spirit and morale, which means that their fighting will is stronger.

Therefore, after arriving at the foot of the mountain, these infantrymen had no intention of taking a break. Amidst the yelling and cursing of the low-level officers in the army, such as the centurion and the small colonel, they were about to attack the mountain.

Specifically, under the cover of some sword and shield players, three hundred archers began to slowly approach the foot of the mountain.

Cooking Bread Mountain is only 50 meters high, and if the walking bows in their hands are projected, they can cover almost all areas on the top of the mountain.

In addition, there are more than a hundred golden soldiers who are obviously thicker.

They wore iron armor, shields in one hand, axes in one hand and swords as forwards, followed by more than 200 people, slowly approaching the cooking cake mountain.

In short, after these infantry arrived, they immediately prepared to dispatch several times their troops.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, he planned not only to climb up the only one step up the mountain, but also to climb up the steep slopes on the other two sides, and rushed up directly in one go.

This is also the reason why the small hill of Cooking Bread Mountain, which borders the land on both northwest sides, can accommodate limited attacking personnel, otherwise Jin Bing would only invest more attacking troops.

So in addition to the above offensive troops, the Jinbing side still has two or three hundred archers ready to replace.

And there are still thousands of troops ready to join the sequence of attacking the mountain at any time.

In comparison, the guards at the top of the mountain included Hu Biao and others, as well as Liu An and other government officials, as well as some male musicians, etc., and there were no more than a hundred combatants.

There are nearly 200 kabuki and dancers, but their graceful figures represent specific combat effectiveness, and they are not even comparable to those healthy women in Haiyang City.

And except for a group of netizens, let's say that they have complete armor, the others can't even have a weapon.

A simple comparison of the military strength and equipment between the two sides showed that the men and women aborigines on the top of the mountain were all terrified...

"Special! How did you come so fast?"

After seeing all the above situations, Hu Biao immediately cursed.

You know, in the previous time, he yelled for people to cut down all the trees on the hill, except for some potholes that he planned to use to support the reverse slope.

I also plan to use these logs to tie up some simple wooden shields and erect them to defend against the flow arrows down the mountain.

Results?These golden soldiers came too fast, and Yi Ying's simple shield had no time to make it.

Fortunately, although there were not many holes dug out on the reverse slope, it was not a problem to go there to avoid the flow of arrows.

For this reason, Hu Biao didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly opened his mouth and shouted:
"All the men with handles stay behind, and all the women quickly retreat to hide in the caves behind the mountain; without my order, they must not come out to show their faces.

Liu An, you take some of them to push against the door panel and block the flow of arrows.

Others, bring those big blue bricks over for me, and kill these grandchildren when the time comes; with me waiting, these golden men don't even think about rushing up. "

Amidst Hu Biao's roar at the top of his throat, the panicked men and women on the top of the mountain immediately seemed to have a backbone; they followed Hu Biao's order and got busy with their own work.

The veterans of the team naturally didn't need to talk nonsense from Hu Biao.

In addition to Lang Qing, Wu Zu, and Chen Tang, a rookie, the three continued to seize the time on the reverse slope to make the key black powder.

Among the other team members, excluding Hu Biao, there are 17 veterans in total, and they are all ready to fight.

Even Xu Feng didn't forget to call the old snake. The two quickly found the trunk of a small straight pine tree, and cleaned up the excess branches with a knife and axe.

He took out a brand-new battle flag of the Xuange Battalion, and after hanging it, set it up on the Cooking Cake Mountain.

After a lapse of more than four years, the Xuan Ge Camp once again established its reputation in this world, and will leave countless legends.

As for the other seven rookies, including Concubine Gui, Ba Long, etc., of course they fought with Hu Biao and the others.

For Hu Biao and others, there is no way to make rookies grow up faster than directly pulling them into the battlefield to participate in the battle.

Of course, the premise is that in this process, these rookies don't die.

But every time they come here now, they will bring some basic equipment for the rookies; as long as they take care of it during the battle, it is not so easy to hang up...

About a minute later, when the last woman with small feet also ran to a relatively safe reverse slope, at the foot of the mountain, a centurion of the Golden Soldier Muke yelled:
"Fire the arrow, throw it at full speed~"

Under the cover of the sword and shield hand, the three hundred archers who had advanced to the foot of the mountain let go of the fully drawn bowstring on their right hand, and shot arrows towards the mountain.

It was the arrow in their hands that was shot, and they didn't even look at the specific result of the battle. Their right hand drew another arrow from the quiver at their waist, and shot it again after drawing the bow.

The interval between two arrows is only three or four breaths.

Immediately, one piece after another was densely packed with arrows, like a rain of arrows; after drawing an arc in the air, they began to fall towards the Cooking Cake Mountain, which was the official opening of the battle.

And almost at the same time, the golden soldier who just yelled out "shoot the arrow" tried to defeat the centurion.

A shield in front of him was raised high, and with a bang, a large piece of sawdust flew up.

Don't wait for this golden sword and shield player to make some other reactions. Behind him, the head of the centurion wearing a felt hat is like a smashed watermelon, and red and white things are flying all over the sky. yes.

That was after Lao Hei greeted him with a shotgun, he forcibly killed an officer of the Golden Soldier on the spot...

"This recurve bow is ugly in appearance, but it looks quite easy to use."

Fenghuahui, a rookie who is said to be "the king of the kings, Jia Luo is very good at playing tricks", pulled a recurve bow with at least 100 pounds of power without much effort.

While squinting his left eye, aiming at an archer at the foot of the mountain, he muttered softly in his mouth to relieve the huge pressure in his heart.

no way!At this moment, the seven rookies, including Fenghuahui, were in a panic.

Since the start of the war, when at least [-] Jin Bing archers at the foot of the mountain opened their bows and shot quickly, for them on the top of the mountain, it can be described as raining arrows.

In a short time, there were arrows stuck into the ground everywhere on the ground on the top of the mountain.

At first glance, it looks like weeds growing wildly on the ground after a spring rain.

Under the cover of such a dense arrow rain, they naturally had no way to avoid it; it was only a short time since the war started, and even Fenghuahui himself could not remember how many arrows he had been hit.

The only thing that can be thankful is that the equipment given by those veterans is indeed quite powerful.

Not to mention the recurve bow with a small pulley block, it can be drawn directly without much effort.

With such power, if you hit the target within 70 meters, you should be able to shoot through iron armor.

The most important thing is that in the previous time, when Yu Hanfeng asked them about his personal situation, he gave them some spare equipment that was said to be deliberately brought by a group of old birds.

These armors and weapons, every rookie of them has.

Specifically, it includes a stainless steel helmet with a brim, boots with steel plate toes, and a set of 100% silk underwear.

A piece of chain mail with very small gaps between the steel wires and dense weaving, which can completely defend against bows and arrows, and a piece of iron armor in the style of a short full head armor.

There is also a steel mask that can be tied to the face with tendon.

After wearing all of the above on the body, even if the short full head armor was obviously shrunk when it was made, it can still defend well against thrown arrows.

In addition, such a burden of more than 30 kilograms is worn on the body, which makes people feel a little strenuous.

But the arrows that landed on Fenghuahui were basically bounced off after hitting some sparks.

A small number of arrows just happened to pass through the gaps in the armor plates and shot through the outermost piece of iron armor, but they were also blocked by the dense chain mail afterwards.

In the end, Fenghuahui felt that after the body was pricked by a needle, it was basically fine.

The problem is that even thanks to good protection, this kind of arrow rain coverage does not actually cause any actual harm to Fenghuahui.

But there is a tingle on the body at every turn, or there is a sound of "咚~" on the lid of the sky. For a modern ordinary person, such a movement is really scary, isn't it.

Therefore, Fenghua Club can only use chattering to relieve the tension in their hearts.

Needless to say, but something has to be done, right?

In short, after getting another arrow on the helmet on the forehead, and three times of "jingling~" on the body, Fenghuahui finally thought that it had aimed at the target.

Then, he let go of his right hand, which was full of bowstrings.

Under the powerful vibration of the bowstring, an arrow was hastily soaked in feces for about [-] minutes, and it was unknown whether there was a heavy arrow with germs on it, and it just shot out.

Talk!This was the first time that the greasy old man Fenghuahui shot an arrow at a living person.

Such a feeling of being about to kill is so difficult to express in words.

Under the inexplicable emotion, he even had an illusion:
That is to be able to see the heavy arrow being shot, twisting continuously like a fish in the air, like a magical scene like a special effect in a movie.

In the next second, Fenghuahui, a rookie, blurted out a national curse:

"What the hell! Why did the shot miss~"

And similar to the Fenghuahui, the situation that the shot misses after a long time of busy work is actually quite common among rookies. Maybe they have been exposed to bows and arrows in the modern plane, and they can even be regarded as amateurs.

But playing and actual combat are completely two different things.

******
"Liu An, the other yamen servants are ordered to throw those big blue bricks down for me~"

After shooting an arrow with the recurve bow in his hand, directly piercing the thigh of a golden soldier; looking at the opponent who had already charged more than twenty steps away, Hu Biao issued a brand new order.

He didn't know at all, and he didn't care about those rookies, they all seemed to be lonely.

Under such an order, he put on a Liao soldier-style helmet on his head, and wore a blood-stained leather armor pulled from the body of the Jin soldier, Liu An, the head arrester in front of the Kaifeng mansion.

He picked up a big green brick in his hand, summoned up his strength and threw it out.

The big green brick, which weighed more than twenty catties, was thrown by Liu An for less than ten meters, and then fell powerlessly to the ground.

But it doesn't matter, it's not a big problem.

Under the square shape of this big blue brick, although there is no curvature, it is not as easy to roll over as a big stone; but thanks to the mountain of the cooking cake mountain, which exceeds 60 degrees, it bounces up after landing .

Then it jumped and rolled all the way and continued down, the speed was getting faster and faster.

The other twenty or so yamen servants, after a little slow movement, also threw down the big green bricks one by one.

Soon after, on that step, as well as on the west and north slopes of Cooking Bread Mountain, there were many big green bricks rolling down all of a sudden.

A group of Jin soldiers attacking the mountain, although they had long been wary of the Song people on the mountain, threw down wood and rolling stones in the process, these terrible things.

But it is one thing to clearly see it; it is another thing to try to escape on the hillside where every step up is a bit strenuous.

But in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen golden soldiers let out shrill screams.

Either they were hit by the big blue bricks that bounced off their chests, or they were hit on the legs when they couldn't dodge.

But no matter where he was hit, he immediately let out a scream, and the whole person lost his balance and fell on his head.

Immediately afterwards, these people who fell on their backs also rolled downward like gourds falling to the ground, making the scene even more chaotic.

On the hillsides on both sides of the northwest, the sound of screams came.

It's a pity that the attacking golden soldiers are too strong in terms of strength, and the morale after successive victories is currently too strong to be ridiculous.

The rest of the personnel who were not knocked to the ground, took advantage of the gap between Liu An and others throwing big green bricks, and continued to rush upwards at a faster pace.

Some of the fastest people among them have rushed to within ten meters.

What's more terrible is that although the archers at the foot of the mountain are all cannon fodder, their archery is far less accurate and deadly than the purebred Jurchens.

The point is, they can't stand too many of them, and the arrows are more dense.

After Liu An and the others threw out one or two big blue bricks, the golden archers at the foot of the mountain, already reacting to the roar of the officers, focused their attention on these yamen servants.

Even in the next second, the two officers who were exposed were killed by Cang Guan and Lao He respectively.

But after a sharp arrow flew down the mountain, there were several screams and muffled groans in Hu Biao's ears; he turned his head quickly and saw that there were already four or five yamen servants, who fell to the ground without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Even Liu An, the head catcher, had a fleshy wound on the corner of his left eyebrow.

The blood gushing out continuously stained half of his face red, making him look extremely miserable.

It's just that seeing that the golden soldiers are about to rush up to fight, Hu Biao at this moment can't care about the casualties of these yamen servants at all.

A sentence came out of his mouth: "Liu An continues to throw, pay attention to hiding~"

At the same time, he resolutely dropped the recurve bow in his hand, picked up the horse spear on one side, and stabbed fiercely at the target in front of him.

In the next second, Hu Biao rushed to the left and killed a golden soldier climbing up the steep slope to the north.

The Golden Soldier, who opened his mouth and panted heavily because he was desperately charging upwards, was the one with the frozen expression of fear before death, and fell to the ground with a "slap~".

Just now, Hu Biao's spear pierced directly into his mouth, piercing the back of his head.

When Hu Biao made his move, other members of the team also threw themselves into close combat.

honestly!No matter how high the morale of these golden soldiers is, when they rushed to the edge of the mountain during a difficult upward attack and climb, they were not only tired, but also slowed down.

So not to mention Hu Biao and his veterans, even rookies and yamen servants can kill their opponents relatively easily.
In the end, almost all of the more than 100 soldiers who rushed to the front when the Jin soldiers attacked the mountain died in battle; counting other casualties, it exceeded 30 people.

At the foot of the mountain, there was finally a sound of retreating horns.

Jin Bing, who had already felt the fear, retreated crazily immediately.

Another horse spear stabbed out, piercing a golden soldier who turned around and tried to escape from the back, and Hu Biao did not continue to chase after him.

After a hasty look around the four weeks, it can be regarded as two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that by pulling off the armor and weapons of the nearby golden soldiers who died in battle on the edge of the mountain, their dilemma in terms of equipment can be greatly alleviated.

In terms of arrows, there is no need to worry about this thing.

Now the dense arrows inserted on the top of the mountain are all over the ground like crops after a bumper harvest.

The bad news is that in the battle that lasted just now, in fact, it wasn't that long, and they occupied the ground, still killed or injured more than a dozen yamen servants.

Perhaps in other places in the Song Dynasty, such a casualty exchange ratio can be described as a catastrophe; but such casualties are almost [-]% for their limited troops.

And before dark, God knows how many attacks they have to face.

This little guy is dead enough...
