Chapter 0985 blocked(2/2)
Governor Feng looked at him and said softly:
"You come with me to watch the scenery on the mountain, and admire the heroic appearance of the generals."
this……
Zhao Guang started to get entangled again:
My brother doesn't let me go into battle, but he lets me stay with him. Does this mean he loves me or doesn't love me?
With an order, the entire army, under the guidance of the technical soldiers of the engineering battalion, began to cut wood and make equipment.
Unlike the serious soil erosion in later generations, the Qiaoshan Mountains now have lush forests, so there is no need to worry about the lack of wood.
The large pillars were covered with cowhide, and then placed on the siege vehicle, trying to make it as slope-like as possible. The soldiers hid behind the pillars, and slowly pushed the cart towards the mountain along the Qin Straight Road to attack.
At the same time, on both sides of Qinzhidao, because the siege vehicles could not move, the soldiers could only climb up without cover.
The Wei army camp on the mountain had already prepared a large number of rolling stones and wood.
When the Han army reached the halfway point of the hillside, they heard a bang and many rocks and wood rolling down.
When stones or wood hit the pillars, because the pillars were slanted, the stones and wood rolled away along the pillars, and most of the soldiers behind the carriage were not hurt.
But some of them rolled to the side and hit the soldiers behind the cars next to them.
There was only a "click" sound, and the unlucky soldier screamed miserably and fell to the ground clutching his twisted legs.
But he forgot that he was halfway up the hillside, and when he lost his balance, he rolled down the mountain.
What's even more unlucky is that the soldiers who are not covered by siege vehicles on both sides will be covered in blood and missing arms and legs if they are even scratched by the whizzing rocks and trees.
If he was really hit, his whole person would be turned into a bloody mess.
Governor Feng listened to the screams on the opposite hillside with no expression on his face.
He held the telescope tightly in his hand, but did not lift it to look across.
If you look carefully, you can see that the muscles on his face are twitching slightly from time to time.
Obviously, it is very distressing and helpless to watch the soldiers you have carefully trained take human lives to fill the Wei army camp in front of you.
Jiang Wei's golden sound sounded at the bottom of the mountain, and the soldiers who had attacked halfway up the mountain retreated one after another.
Obviously, this wave is just a test.
But the effect of testing is very bad.
The camp on Wei Jun's mountain not only had rolling stones and wood, but also dug a trench on the road in front of the camp, and there were deer antlers behind the trench.
In the first wave of offensives, the troops had to retreat before they could even touch the trenches.
After a short rest, the second group of soldiers continued to attack.
…
When the sun turned west, they attacked a total of four times in one day, but the best result was just to push the siege engines into the ditch.
After calling the gold for the last time, Jiang Wei came to the commander's camp with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
"Your Majesty, you will finally have a heavy trust..."
He raised his hands to Governor Feng who was sitting on the commander's seat and was about to plead guilty.
Governor Feng waved his hand and asked in a steady voice:
"How many casualties were there today?"
When Jiang Wei heard this, his face became even more ashamed: "Five hundred injured, half light and half injured, two hundred and sixty-two dead..."
From the beginning of the Nanxiang Army to the current Liangzhou Army, in the past ten years or so, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves under Governor Feng's command has never been so severe.
There were nearly 800 casualties, but they could not exchange for even one enemy casualty.
Governor Feng took a long breath:
"I was careless. I didn't expect Sima Yi to be so well prepared."
He is indeed an old turtle worthy of being able to consume Old Demon Zhuge to death.
"Junhou, tomorrow..."
Governor Feng's eyes fell on Jiang Wei, his face calm:
"Follow what you think. Don't worry about what I think. Don't worry about the casualties of the soldiers. I only want one result, and that is that the camp on the opposite side must be captured by me."
Secretly gritting his teeth, his eyes became heavy:
"I don't believe that a mere camp on a hilltop can use endless amounts of rolling stones and wood!"
No one can say that they are not afraid of the rocks and trees rolling down the mountain.
My soldiers are not emotionless machines, so of course they will be frightened.
This really hurts morale.
Jiang Wei nodded, then hesitated.
Feng Yong noticed his expression:
"Bojo just said it straight."
"Your Majesty, since we already know that there are rocks and trees on the mountain, why not let the barbarians go up there and consume them first?"
Feng Yong shook his head:
"I have my own arrangements for this. Our soldiers can only take down the first camp first, and only then will I have reason to let the Xianbei people take over."
Jiang Wei wanted to say that he still had the right to obey the barbarians.
I just saw that the princes were useless to the Xianbei barbarians, so they would not be able to use Yi Cong.
He buried the doubt in his heart, nodded and said:
"It's the last time to attack the camp today. I think the bandits' stones and wood seem to be sparse. I guess it's just as the king expected. There won't be too many stones and wood in a mere mountain camp. Tomorrow's attack on the camp will probably be easier."
Governor Feng looked outside. On the mountain opposite, lights could be seen flickering. He said in a faint tone:
"I said that I only want the result and don't care about the process. Just go ahead and do it."
Governor Feng was blocked on the north side of Qiaoshan, and the main force of Zhuge Liang's army also failed to cross the Wugong River.
Under the cover of the powerful crossbows on the west bank, Meng Yan finally established a firm foothold on the east bank.
But if we want to expand our frontier positions, we are unable to do so.
Because Sima Yi had too many troops.
As long as they are beyond the cover of the strong crossbows on the west bank, the Wei army will take turns to attack the Han army.
This forced Meng Yan to shrink to the shore and hand over his wings to the east bank, while he concentrated on dealing with the Wei army on the front.
This stalemate lasted for several days, and Wei Yan became impatient and went to find the prime minister to ask for a fight:
"Prime Minister, let me lead the army across the water! I will definitely be able to break through the bandits and clear the way for the army!"
Zhuge Liang glanced at Wei Yan expressionlessly.
When Wei Yan saw the Prime Minister's appearance, he felt cold and thought that he was going to be kept in cold storage by the Prime Minister again.
Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister suddenly spoke:
"What if you can't get away?"
Wei Yan almost thought he heard wrongly, and in surprise, he quickly said loudly:
"The last general is willing to establish a military order!"
"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 people. If you can defeat the thieves in front of you, it will be considered a great achievement for you; if you can't break it, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
"The last general takes command!"
Wei Yan took the military talisman from the prime minister's hand, turned around and left with a quick stride.
Wei thief, I, Wei Yan, are coming!
Although Meng Yan did not advance further, he guarded the crossing point. Behind him, several pontoon bridges had already been laid.
Soon, after notifying Meng Yan on the other side to pay attention to his cooperation, Wei Yan personally led 10,000 horses and began to cross the Wugong River eastward along the pontoon bridge.
The Wei army scouts on both wings saw this situation from a distance and reported it to Sima Yi as quickly as possible.
When Sima Yi learned about it, he said happily:
"Zhuge Liang finally couldn't stand it anymore! Let's see how I can attack him halfway across the border!"
Now ask around:
"Who wants to be a pioneer?"
Niu Jin, Fei Yao, Dai Ling and others all stepped forward to ask for a fight:
"I will go where I will in the end!"
"General Niu, I leave this battle to you, don't let me down!"
