The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 462 Storming Shiji Ridge

The tens of thousands of fine cavalry of the Tartars had been attacking for a whole day, and they stopped until late at night. The powerful offensive made the soldiers led by Zhao Yun a little overwhelmed. After all, the strength of the two sides was three to one. Compared with the fine cavalry of the Tartars, it is not so good. It is Jiang Wei who can make Shijiling's position as stable as a rock. It is entirely Jiang Wei's command and constant adjustment of defense; People are extremely afraid.

At the end of the day, Murong Ke's army suffered nearly 2000 casualties. This price was undoubtedly huge. It was also the heaviest casualty the Tatars had suffered since the war began. Similarly, the losses of Jizhou's fine cavalry and infantry were also considerable.

In the big camp of the Tartars, Murong Ke's eyes were spitting fire. Now that the war is temporarily over, Murong Ke has just had the opportunity to question Jin Wushu.

"General Wanyan, what are you doing? The left-wing army just attacked for a while, and was beaten to death by Gao Chong. No matter how strong Gao Chong is, it shouldn't be like this?"

Murong Ke complained.

Jin Wushu's face was flushed, and he said with a wry smile: "General Murong, I don't want to, that Gao Chong is too powerful, he used the high point of Shijiling Mountain to launch a sudden surprise attack, and he came to us in the blink of an eye, without giving any attention at all. I left the slightest chance to react, and I was knocked off the horse with just two shots. In the next two rounds, I solved Herriza and Herrihan, like a god descending from the earth. Even I was overwhelmed by Gao Chong's unrivaled martial arts; Gao Chong took the opportunity to lead the fine cavalry to launch a strong attack. We watched helplessly as our opponents defeated us..."

Murong Ke sighed heavily and stopped talking. Jin Wushu was right. Gao Chong was too powerful. Even he had no confidence that he could defeat him. Within two hundred rounds, he could still be evenly matched with him. Two hundred rounds. In addition, I will lose in all likelihood, I am not an opponent, let alone Jin Wushu whose martial arts are much weaker?

"General Jebe, where are you?"

Murong Ke asked.

Zhebie shook his head, and replied: "General Murong, General Wanyan, don't say that Gao Chong is brave and invincible, that Zhao Yun's combat power is not weaker than Gao Chong, not only is his marksmanship like a god, his archery skills are superb, but also my As far as I can see, apart from me, I am afraid that there is no one in the Great Khan Army who can suppress Zhao Yun in archery. They are condescending, and their arrows are powerful. Opponent? Kongzi has lost his troops, and he can't break Zhao Yun's left-wing camp at all..."

Gao Chong, Zhao Yun...

The corner of Murong Ke's mouth twitched. If he had a high favor, he could still handle it, but if he added Zhao Yun, he would not be able to beat his two elder brothers no matter what...

Murong Ke sighed: "The resistance encountered in the middle is even greater. The general doesn't know his name, and his force may not be as good as Gao Chong Zhao Yun, but the command of the battle formation is extremely clever. Three lines of defense with archers were deployed in front of the formation. Dozens of crossbow carts were also placed, all arrows were fired, and our cavalry could not charge up the mountain at all..."

"How to do?"

Jin Wushu said in a shy voice: "The strategy deployed by the Great Khan is to attack from the north and the south, first take down Yecheng, and then go on to besiege the main force of Jizhou, and annihilate Zhuge Liang and Yue Fei in the Changshan area in one fell swoop. If we can't even capture Jiling, how can we talk about capturing Yecheng and Jizhou?"

Zhebie at the side snorted coldly: "General Wanyan, today is only the first day, we have lost troops, and their casualties are not small, if we continue fighting like this, within ten days, we will consume them all! "

"You said it lightly!"

Jin Wushu said in a muffled voice: "Zhebie, you have to be clear, we are leading the main force of the desert, Zhao Yun is the main defender, we are the main attacker, our casualties are much higher than theirs, their [-] elite casualties are waiting to be exhausted, I'm afraid Nearly half of our army of [-] to [-] will be left here. Once our army is seriously injured, how can we deal with Zhuge Liang and Yue Fei in Changshan? What's more, in the south, there are tens of thousands of troops led by Liu Xiao who are returning home. As for the aid, it will definitely arrive in Jizhou in less than ten days, and they can increase their troops, but we don't have any more troops!"

Murong Ke nodded and said: "In addition to Liu Xiao in the south, Cao Cao is also rushing to help now. The whole Bingzhou has been defeated by us. Cao Cao lost his city and land, lost his troops and lost his generals. How can we not take it back? When we face Cao Cao and Liu Xiao With a total of nearly 20 troops, how can we withstand the attack without enough troops? You have to think of a good strategy..."

Three people sank at the same time, good strategy?Now this is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, on Liu Xiaojun's land, Zhao Yun and Gao Chong are guarding the dangerous point, one man guards the gate, ten thousand men cannot open it, how is it easy to find a good strategy? "

"correct!"

Suddenly, Jin Wushu's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: "Two generals, when we took down Shangdang County, we captured several catapults from Cao's army. As long as they are within range, we can throw big stones at them. Ballista, as long as it hits, it will be smashed down with a force of a thousand catties, and this ballista will definitely be torn apart! As long as you call in a catapult and break their ballista, they can't stop it with their fine cavalry and archers alone. Stop our army!"

Murong Ke's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "That's right, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it, and brought the captured soldiers of Cao Jun over to attack Shijiling!"

In the next two days, Jin Wushu and others still stormed Shijiling. Although they could not take Shijiling, they still gave Zhao Yungao Chong a headache. If danger is used as a barrier, it cannot last forever.

Among other things, the bows and arrows carried by the army alone will always be used up one day, and the bows and arrows consumed every day have exceeded [-]. Within ten days, all the thirty bay feather arrows they carry will be used up!

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most terrible thing is that the Tartars outside the Great Wall actually mobilized their catapults and began to use catapults to attack the ballista positions on both sides. Although the accuracy of this catapult is low It's terrible, but there is one thing, there are plenty of stones, yes, there are stones everywhere at the foot of Shijiling Mountain, inexhaustible, inexhaustible, as for slingers, there is no shortage, there are people!
Hundreds of stones were thrown at the ballista position every day. Even with a hit accuracy of only [-]%, it caused huge damage to the ballistas in the front position in two days. At least one third of the ballistas had been destroyed. They were smashed to pieces, and several others were damaged beyond recognition.

Without the shock of the ballista, the Tatars' elite cavalry really had no scruples. Murong Ke once again commanded the army and stormed Shijiling!
