The tribal noble who was responsible for inquiring into the situation came back with a very aggrieved report that dozens of his cavalry had just been killed and injured.

Han Shizhong nodded and said, "I'll give you a credit."

The elite troops responsible for attacking the mountain continued to climb over the mountains and ridges after the smoke rose from the Xixia pier.

They descended from one mountain ridge and then climbed another. After approaching the target, they found a suitable position to attack.

Extremely difficult!

The mountain is mostly composed of gneiss, limestone and shale. Years of weathering and erosion have caused some mountain walls to be 90 degrees. Even the gentlest slopes are above 45 degrees. However, there are some layers where the rocks are layered.

The protruding rock mass can be stepped on.

Wang Gui looked up at the pier in front of him. The mountain in front was several feet high, and the rammed earth wall of the pier was also more than ten feet high.

The simple stairs they brought were useless for attacking the pier.

Normally, it takes a lot of effort to climb up. If the enemy defends it, it will never be attacked unless the Ming army can grow wings and fly up.

Wang Gui went around to the back of the pier to check, and suddenly cursed: "Damn it, it's very steep here. The enemy soldiers above had to climb up with difficulty, and their food and drink were also hung up with ropes! It's not like that!

It's impossible to capture it. Li Zhen, take a few people back to report the news. Just say that I will hold here for now and ask the governor to send some grassland soldiers. There is no need to attack, but the enemy will be surrounded to death. Starve them to death! Thirst them to death.
