Just when Wei Chi replaced Gao Chun to command the Yexian County Army to try to break through the narrow spider web path on the southeast slope of Heihu Mountain, two battles of attacking the mountain broke out respectively on the east slope and the south slope.

Due to the construction period, the eastern slope and the southern slope have not yet been built into a narrow spider-web path, so the county troops attacking the mountain still need to climb rocks and attack with their own hands, using their hands to open a passable passage on the weed-covered hillside.

But unfortunately, Heihu Village has placed heavy troops on the hillsides on both sides: Wang Qing is on the east slope and Chu Yan is on the south slope. And the number of Black Tiger people holding hands on the hillsides on both sides is close to 200.

Don't underestimate the defense of these 200 people. To be careful, the Black Tigers have the advantage of geographical advantages and have prepared defensive weapons such as rolling stones and wood early. In this case, even if there are only about 200 people, they may not be able to defeat the officers and soldiers who are twice as good as theirs.

At least, Wang Qing never took the officers and soldiers on the other side seriously, and wanted to lead his brothers down the mountain immediately, killing the county soldiers who were staggering up the mountain without leaving any armor.

But unfortunately, it is not the time for him, the "left commander", because he had reserved rolling stones and wood on the Dongpo, and the officers and soldiers' offensives in the first few rounds, it is enough to use these things to defend.

"put."

Seeing that the Xiangcheng County Army below had climbed to the middle of the mountain, Wang Qing sat on a stone with his legs raised and watched coldly, waved his hand lazily, and gave an order to drop the rolling stone and the marble.

Under his command, the round stones as big as millstones and the whole log rolled down the mountain, rolling faster and faster, scaring the soldiers of Xiangcheng County who were climbing the ground as earthy as earth.

Regardless of the whole log, the rolling stones as big as millstones, are not easily resisted, and they are deadly weapons that are "hit to death, to scratch and to be injured".

Faced with such terrible defensive weapons, the only thing the county soldiers could do was to avoid it, but unfortunately, there were still many people who were frightened in front of such rolling stones.

"Bang!"

A deafening sound spread, and a huge rolling stone hit a bulge on the hillside. It made a deafening sound and then flew high, the enclave was two feet high.

However, seeing this rolling stone, the soldiers of Xiangcheng County below seemed to have their legs weakened, and they looked up at the huge rolling stone in a daze, standing motionlessly.

The ending is naturally not difficult to guess.

There was only a strange "puff" sound - the sound of bones and flesh being crushed. A Xiangcheng County soldier couldn't even scream, and suddenly "disappeared" under the light of the other companions.

When the soldiers of Xiangcheng County who were next to him turned to look, they realized that their unlucky companion had rolled down more than ten feet, and his whole body was covered in blood and blood. There was a large piece of sunken in front of him, which obviously could not survive.

It has to be said that defensive weapons like the Rolling Stone will cause a huge shock and psychological shadow to the enemy, but apart from these two points, in fact, it cannot cause enough casualties to the enemy. Generally, as long as you are not scared to your legs and are difficult to move, you can avoid those rolling stones that roll down quickly.

In contrast, the seemingly inconspicuous squat wood has a greater threat than the rolling stone.

The rolling stone is roughly round, and it will not change its direction easily when it rolls down, but the wood is different. When this whole log rolls down, it will often cause the other end to change its direction due to the obstacles at one end, which will lead to the enemy's judgment errors in advance, and will be hit by the wood.

Don't doubt how much damage a squat that rolls down the hillside can cause. If you hit it, it may not be killed, but it is enough to hurt people.

Look, some Xiangcheng County soldiers who successfully dodged the rolling stones were caught on the "irregular" rolling squash, or hit the face by one end of the squash, immediately covered in blood and even their teeth were smashed; or they were hit by the squash, and they simply made a sound of bone shattering, and then they hugged the injured part and screamed.

To be honest, in the face of these rolling stones and squats, the soldiers in Xiangcheng County did not perform well, as if they had not received relevant training at all. Wang Qing and others only put out some of the rolling stones and squats, which forced these soldiers in Xiangcheng County to have chaos.

"With this strength, how dare you attack the mountain?"

Listening to the howling screams of ghosts and wolves at the foot of the mountain, Wang Qing looked at the foot of the mountain with a sarcastic look on his face, with disdain.

From the side, the black tigers laughed.

Although these black tigers may not be able to do better than the Xiangcheng County soldiers at the foot of the mountain, this does not prevent them from laughing at them at this moment.

At this time, the soldiers of Xiangcheng County at the foot of the mountain had no time to worry about the sarcastic laughter of the black tiger thieves coming from the mountain. They were busy avoiding the rolling stones and mulberry trees. Among them, the smart people chose to avoid them, while some of the stupid, or those who lack relevant experience, turned around and ran away in fright.

Rebound and escape is undoubtedly the stupidest behavior, because there are no eyes on the back and you cannot see the approaching threat.

In the end, the rolling stones and the mug wood caused dozens of casualties in Xiangcheng County soldiers, and at least two-thirds of them were panicked.

Even Zou Bu, the Xiangcheng County Magistrate, was frightened by the rolling stones and mulberry trees. He looked at the mountain with his eyes, feeling a little at a loss.

Should I attack the mountain again?

Zou Bu was also a little hesitant. After all, they lost dozens of people without even seeing the bandits guarding the mountains. Unlike some generals in the army who are used to regarding casualties as pure numbers, the county magistrates in the county still attach great importance to their own casualties. After all, there are only a few people in total.

After some thought, Zou Bu finally gritted his teeth and decided to send someone to attack again.

You can't be scared and retreated like this, right?

At the same time, on the south slope, Ding Wu, the Luyang County Wei, was also trying to lead the Luyang County soldiers to attack the mountain.

In fact, the offensive in the south slope should have been led by Ma Gai, the Kunyang County Ma Gai, but Ma Gai gave up Yang Ding's pick. He was perfunctory about Yang Ding's attempt to encircle and suppress the black tiger thieves in the name of "recruiting Zhou Hu". Therefore, Yang Ding naturally would not expect Ma Gai to do his best. Therefore, the attack on the mountain fell on Ding Wu and his Luyang County Army.

What Ding Wu and others faced was Chu Yan, the "right commander" of Heihu Village.

He stood halfway up the mountain with his arms, looking down at the Luyang County Army who was climbing up the mountain below, staring at a flag among the people below with a complicated expression.

It was a flag with a black background and white character, with the words "Luyang" written on it. Judging from the specifications of the flag, it was obviously a city flag.

The so-called city flag is the flags erected on the top of the city in all sizes under the world.

County soldiers are different from the army and generally do not have flags that indicate their identities. Therefore, when the county army is dispatched, they will use city flags to indicate their identities, just like the Luyang County Army that Chu Yan saw at this moment.

The county army in Luyang... the one who led the troops should be Ding Wu, the Luyang County Wei, right?

Chu Yan secretly guessed in her heart.

Unlike ordinary black tigers, Chu Yan is one of the few leaders in the village who knows Zhao Yu's exact identity. He is very clear about the relationship between Zhao Yu and Ding Wu, and also knows that Zhao Yu had discussed privately with Ding Wu, and even with Liu Ying, the county magistrate of Luyang County.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ding Wu is his own person.

This is not Chu Yan's personal judgment. He asked Zhao Yu. When he noticed that Luyang County Army and county magistrate Ding Wu were among the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, Chu Yan asked Zhao Yu privately.

Although Zhao Yu did not tell him exactly why Luyang County responded to Ye County’s call to suppress the thieves, he obviously told him: it was his own person.

Since you are your own person, you need to show mercy.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan ordered his left and right, "Put the rolling stones and wood."

The black tigers on both sides were stunned when they heard this and reminded: "The right commander, the enemy has not yet penetrated into the mountains? Why not wait until they get closer..."

Chu Yan glanced at the person who was talking and said lightly: "Listen to me."

“Uh…yes.”

Under Chu Yan's order, the black tigers guarding the mountain cut the ropes and put some rolling stones and wood.

Rolling stones as big as millstones and whole logs rolled down the mountain.

Hearing these movements, the Luyang County Army immediately noticed the crisis and shouted loudly: "Rolling Stones! Rolling Stones!"

Ding Wu, the Luyang County Wei, naturally noticed it.

"Oh."

With a chuckle, he pretended to be serious and ordered: "Don't panic, everyone should pay attention to dodging."

Under Ding Wu's command, many soldiers from Luyang County avoided this attack without any danger.

Because they were not clear about the reason, some Luyang County headmasters mocked the black tiger thieves on the mountain: "These stupid guys are so uneasy. If they wait for a moment, we might suffer heavy losses."

Hearing these words, Ding Wu shook his head secretly.

Can't hold back?

The Black Tiger Thieves have experienced four encirclements and suppressions, one of which was even an encirclement by a regular army. Will those people be unable to calm down?

It was obvious that the other party was deliberately showing mercy, or reminding him in advance, so as not to suffer too many casualties in the Luyang County Army.

Thinking of this, Ding Wu pretended to be serious and shouted: "Don't be careless! Don't forget that this thief has experienced four encirclements and suppression, and underestimated that they are undoubtedly the way to die! I think the actions of the opposite side must have some profound meaning. They may want us to take it lightly, not to slack off, and be vigilant to climb the mountain!"

"……yes."

After being scolded by Ding Wu, the soldiers in Luyang County naturally did not dare to say anything else. They all hugged each other and climbed carefully.

This means that the climbing speed of these Luyang County soldiers is more than slower than that of the other two battlefields.

In addition, Chu Yan successively put out several rolling stones and squats as "scares", and the climbing speed of the soldiers in Luyang County became slower, but the advantage was that the casualties of the soldiers in Luyang County were minimal.

And this made Ding Wu hesitate.

He didn't know whether he should lead the officers and soldiers to attack, because he didn't know whether his actions would have adverse effects on the Black Tiger Thieves.

In the end, Chu Yan thought of a solution for him: archery!

When it was still dozens of feet apart, Chu Yan ordered the black tigers under his command to shoot arrows down the mountain.

Crossbow arrows should be medium-range weapons, and they are the most powerful between a dozen steps to dozens of steps, but if they are dozens of feet apart, their power will be greatly reduced - even whether they can shoot or not is a problem.

However, Chu Yan's actions lit up Ding Wu's eyes.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

With dozens of feet apart, Ding Wu pretended to be excited and shouted counterattack.

The soldiers in Luyang County were not sure about the reason, but they did not dare to disobey Ding Wu's orders. They all bowed to the ground, held their crossbows and shot on the mountain, and had a fierce attack with the black tiger thieves on the mountain.

I have to say that this scene looks quite steep at first glance, with arrows coming and going everywhere, but in fact, the crossbows at this distance are not necessarily powerful. Even if they are shot, both sides can block the arrows with their leather armor - unless they are really unlucky, they are shot into the eyes, throats and other fragile vitals.

In the end, until Yang Ding ordered the Mingjin to withdraw the troops, the casualties of the Luyang County army were minimal.

Even Ding Wu muttered secretly: Have you done it a bit too much?

A moment later, Wei Chi took the lead in leading Ye County officers and soldiers to withdraw their camps, and immediately returned the losses to Yang Ding.

When it comes to the casualties of soldiers in Ye County, there are not many more people saying it is, and there are not many people saying it is too little. It is probably because forty or fifty people were killed and more than a hundred were injured. In general, it is barely acceptable.

This result is naturally due to Wei Chi's proper command and timely retreat.

In contrast, the result of Wei Chi's attempt to attack the mountain this time gave Yang Ding a headache.

In Yang Ding's tent, Wei Chi painted a map of the mountain road in front of Yang Ding, Wei Dong, Gao Chun and others, and clearly marked the forks in the mountains.

He said to Yang Ding: "As Ma Gai said, this so-called 'spock web narrow road' is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only are there many forks, but there are also many ambushes. If you want to attack this road, at least one thousand soldiers will be required before I dare to try it."
