Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

There are strange rocks among the green mountains, and cliffs can be seen everywhere. It is said that there are gods in Wushan who do not know the true or false, but Guo Shao feels very mysterious when he is in it. The shouts and screams of the soldiers on the stone road echoed in the mountains, and the echoes were lingering, which sounded really scary.

Fighting started on the mountain, but it didn't take long to see a group of soldiers retreating while supporting the wounded. Seeing this, Guo Shao knew that Dong Zunhui, the striker, was ineffective in fighting. In fact, the terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Wang Zhaoyuan is still planning to keep this army stronghold for half a year? Guo Shao turned around and said, "Take the Wushan military stronghold today!"

Hundreds of heavy armored infantry next to them were ready to go. Guo Shao called in the commander of the first heavy infantry of the First Army in the left wing. More than 500 of the best-equipped imperial troops were equipped with the latest forged plate armor;

The commander of the first command was Zhou Tong. Guo Shao asked him to be the platoon envoy during the Battle of Erli. However, military merit alone does not necessarily mean that he can rise quickly. Zhou Tong is different, relying on his relationship with Guo Shao, as long as he does his best, he will have a future.

So when Zhou Tong heard Guo Shao's words, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Just wait for Guo Du's order to inspect, and there will be mountains of swords and seas of fire, and the general will never frown!"

Guo Shao looked at him and nodded, looked up at the line of armored elites, and said loudly: "Why does Jingnan bow his head and bow his head as soon as he sees my Chao army? Why do people in the world respect the Imperial Army of the Great Zhou? Because we are brave and good at fighting! If we are brave in a fierce battle, what are we called elites?" Let's go!"

"Must win... win..." the army shouted loudly. The soldiers who had just retreated looked sideways.

The one in front drew out his sword and led a group of four people to advance towards the mountain road first. All the armies lined up in a narrow queue, there was no way, the road was not wide.

Amidst the tinkling of iron armor, the thud of war drums spurred the blood on the battlefield, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. A small official was standing by the side of the road, holding a piece of paper and shouting: "Family letter picked up by Qianfeng. At the knees of parents and adults, Master Wang has entered Wushan. The road is rugged and dangerous, and the fierce battle is getting closer. My son knows that this trip will lead to death. To serve the country and end the war for the unification of the world, I have no regrets..."

The soldiers in front were encouraged by the recitation of some family letter, and urged by the sound of war drums, they quickly approached the first line of defense of the Shu army in the mountains. During this time, there were curses and scolding from the generals, which mixed with the grandiose words of righteousness, but it was very abrupt.

A stone road that can only accommodate two or three people at most is carved out of stone and is very steep. Going along the road, I saw that the Shu army had built fortifications at the intersection above.

As soon as they approached a hundred steps, arrows shot out from the arrow holes one after another. Due to the constraints of the terrain, the arrows were not densely packed, but there were only two or three people in front of Zhou Jun, and the arrows were immediately jingled. However, the arrow was shot off the plate armor and was useless.

"Kill!" The soldiers were encouraged by seeing that the arrow was hit with their own eyes, and shouted upwards to attack. At this time, I heard a few creaking sounds of wood, and a few "pops", and saw a few stones flying over my head. With a "bang", a soldier was hit by a stone and fell down screaming in pain. Everyone looked at the sky while climbing the mountain road.

From a distance of one hundred steps, arrows and stone cannons kept coming. The frequency of the stone cannons was very slow, but the arrows shot rapidly from the arrow holes one after another. I don't know how many rounds they fired. But none of Zhou's soldiers died, and they were all blocked by armor. When they were only ten or twenty steps away, the two infantrymen in front had been shot like hedgehogs in front of them. Heavy arrows that were too close and powerful could still pierce the plate armor, but there was still chain mail inside.

All the troops rushed to the front of the fortification one after another, and the terrain was slightly wider. The generals of the Zhou army stabbed the arrow holes with long spears, and some people shot at the arrow holes with crossbows, and there were screams from inside from time to time. At this moment, a big man in iron armor came up with a big axe, and slammed the ax on the fence. A large area collapsed with a "boom", and the Shu army turned around and left from inside. All the people pushed down the wooden fortifications with all their strength, chased them up, shot them from behind with crossbows, and the Shu army fled along the road.

The heavy infantry of the Zhou army here ran slowly and couldn't catch up, so they had to chase after them and continue to climb up.

The Shu soldiers were breached several layers of fortifications in a row. The defeat affected the morale of the soldiers, and they were defeated very quickly. When they saw a group of soldiers like iron men, they were taken aback, especially the masks looked very scary.

In less than an hour, only a few hundred Zhou Jun attacked along the stone path to the top of the mountain. This section of the road is very different...a section of the slope above forty or fifty steps away has been chiseled into a groove-like shape. A group of remnants of the Shu soldiers were climbing up the slope, and the generals of the Zhou army were shooting down with bows and crossbows below. Some people died on the way, and some rolled down the steps.

Zhou Tong rushed to the front and did not rush to order an attack. I learned from the prisoners before that this section of the road is the most difficult line of defense to break through.

Looking up, the fortifications above are extraordinarily different. The city wall covered with earth rammed bricks is like the wall of a city. The difference is that the "city gate" is a semicircular tunnel below, not like a door for people to walk through, but like a dog hole.

Zhou Tong waited for a long time, waiting for the soldiers behind to carry stones and other tools up, and then ordered a small team of more than 20 people to walk up slowly in a sparse formation. Bows and arrows were still thrown condescendingly on the city wall, but there was nothing they could do to take the generals of the Zhou army. When they walked halfway, they counterattacked with bows and crossbows, but shot several Shu soldiers to death.

When rushing to the bottom of the city wall, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound, and a big round stone was pushed out from the "dog hole". This ramp is high on both sides and low in the middle, which limits the track of the stone, and it will be rolled over following the road. The two soldiers in front couldn't escape and were knocked over by the boulder. They screamed twice and were crushed under the stone. They fell silent immediately. The stone was stained with a lot of blood and rolled down along the road.

The Zhou army soldiers behind dropped the stone they were carrying, turned around and ran away. Fortunately, the team was very sparse. Everyone shouted: "Run!" and ran down the slope. With a loud "bang", the boulder hit a rock, jumped up immediately, deviated from the direction, and fell straight down the mountain. The heavy stone was also hit and slid down along the broken road. Everyone waited for it to slow down before holding up with big wooden sticks. Then continue to wrap it with a thick hemp rope, and several people carry it back and forth and then go up.
