Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 20 Decisive Battle, Wenshan County!

Qingcheng was a stronghold of the gentry's armed forces, and the number of weapons inside was astonishing.

And Li Ke didn't like the weapons and low-quality armor seized from Pi County.

Under his order, the [-] prisoners in Pi County were soon released.

After being captured for only one day, they all accepted the philosophy of the Shu army, and each of them vowed to fight for the liberation of the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu.

After they returned to Qingcheng, they elected officers at all levels, and then took the weapons prepared by the gentry and began to attack the surrounding counties and counties.

Due to the defeat of Pixian County, the gentry no longer had any ability to fight back.

Coupled with the response of the people along the way, states one after another are falling apart.

The gentry's homes were ransacked, and officials were expelled.

Then the people spontaneously elected a leader to maintain autonomy, waiting for Li Ke's Shu government to take over.

The whole process seemed to be overwhelming.

No way, when Li Ke's ignited emotions completely defeated the fear of the gentry class, the fighting power of the common people was fully aroused.

The effect of Mind Blast can be contagious.

At the same time, Li Ke also took 3000 cavalry and more than [-] logistics carriages, and returned to Chengdu along the official road, and then went north from Chengdu to Maozhou.

……

Maozhou, Wenshan County.

This county seat is built on a dangerous stone mountain.

The cliffs of weathered rock are everywhere, and there are only two roads to ascend the mountain.

Typical karst landform.

Ma Liuzhi, the coach of the Shu army, arranged his [-] soldiers in front of the entrance of the mountain in the north.

And the road up the mountain behind is guarded by [-] militiamen and [-] Maozhou local strong men in the county seat, using the county wall to resist the enemy who may go up the mountain.

The road behind the county seat is a small road, which can only accommodate three people walking side by side.

Only the front road in the north is the focus of defense.

Ma Liuzhi arranged three phalanxes of 500 people on the main road to the north.

A phalanx was facing down the mountain, and the enemy had to climb hundreds of meters of steep slopes to appear in front of them if they wanted to attack them.

And the two phalanxes are distributed on the left and right sides, ready to respond at any time.

Moreover, the spears of the military formations on the left and right sides can poke into the road ahead.

As long as those enemy troops who climbed up from the bottom of the mountain came to the top of the mountain, they must face the attack of spears from the front, left and right directions.

These Macedonian spear-like spears are as high as three and a half meters in length.

Moreover, the front and rear three rows are aligned to the front, and the rear three rows are filled at any time.

Any enemy who wants to approach must face at least three long spears and three long spears that can be filled at any time.

It is simply impossible to achieve a breakthrough by relying on personal bravery.

In the wilderness below the road to the north, countless tents and camps stretched beyond the horizon.

The flag of Guanlong Group is flying in the wind.

Under the banner, there were many figures of the closed army's men and horses in black leather armor.

"I knew that the Sichuan and Shu mountains are dangerous, but I never thought it would be so difficult..."

Changsun Wuji, who rode his horse to the front line himself, felt a headache when he saw the extremely dangerous terrain.

"Prime Minister, our explorers have already searched, and all nearby counties have been evacuated."

"The enemy army must have evacuated the women and children, and then dispatched all the strong men in Maozhou to Wenshan County."

A scouting cavalry captain came on horseback and reported to Changsun Wuji.

"Haha, strong walls and clear fields are a good method."

"It seems that we can only rely on the bravery of the soldiers to attack the mountain."

"Pass the order of the truth, let Chai Shao gather troops and horses, and attack from the two roads in turn."

"Even if it is grinding, Wenshan County must be ground down for the truth. Above, it is the main force of the enemy army!"

"Take Wenshan, and the Kingdom of Shu will no longer have the power to resist!"

Changsun Wuji pointed to the top of the mountain and gave orders loudly.

"Order!"

The orderly took the order and left.

Not long after, the four battalions of the Guanyuan Army rang out the sound of beating drums at the same time.

Team after team of closed army sergeants began to march forward with the beat of drums.

They are well-equipped, well-equipped, tightly formed, and well-trained.

From a distance, each phalanx looks like a black chariot, rolling towards the top of the mountain.

"Raise your shield and defend at any time!"

Chai Shao himself, wearing a white bright armor and riding a black horse, personally led the attack on the north road.

They are always ready to welcome the thundering rocks and rolling logs rolling down.

I never thought that the way up the mountain was smooth and calm.

Even so, Chai Shao's eyes were still full of vigilance.

They are here to annihilate the Shu army.

War is viciousness and madness.

It was impossible for the enemy to let them go up the mountain smoothly.

"Found the enemy!"

Sure enough, when they approached the top of the mountain, all the sergeants of the closing army gasped at the same time as the scouts roared.

At the end of the road leading to the top of the mountain, one row after another of ridiculously long spears, like a steel hedgehog, stretched out steel spikes towards them.

To say it is a forest of guns is not an exaggeration!
"Hmph, this is how you wait for the Shu army to defend the mountain?"

"Set up the fish scale array, I will directly break through them!"

Chai Shao's eyes turned cold, and he ordered directly.

dong dong dong...

The sound of drums for changing formations sounded soon.

The more than 2 guanqin troops who went up the mountain immediately changed their camps and turned into a three-row arc-shaped charge camp.

Shields in the front, spearmen in the back.

There are gaps at the front and back to ensure that after the front row hits the enemy's position, the rear row also has enough space to speed up and hit the enemy's position, and push the front row forward.

And once charging, the fish-scale formation will automatically turn into countless wave-like charging fronts, seemingly endless, which can completely affect the morale of the enemy army.

"kill!!"

In the next second, on the entire road up the mountain, the killing god shook the sky.

One by one, the fish scale formations spread out front and back during the charge, like waves, swarming towards the enemy one after another.

It looks huge, but the impact is not obvious.

Because this is a steep slope with a slope of thirty degrees.

The feet of the shield soldiers in the front row trampled the mountain with a loud sound, but they still couldn't pick up the speed.

"prick!"

When these shield soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain, the Shu army moved.

Accompanied by the officer's roar, their sharp eyes flashed an astonishing murderous aura at the same time.

Countless long spears stabbed at these shield soldiers who lost half of their physical strength from the front and side.

puff... puff... puff...

"what!!"

Immediately, the sound of sharp knives piercing into flesh and screams rang out.

The soldiers with closed sabers and shields pierced by spears kept rolling down the hillside screaming like rolling stones.
