Chapter 25 Deadlock and Timing

I don't know when the sky began to drift like goose feather-sized snow again, roaring under the strong north wind and rolling to the foot of the mountain. However, this bad weather could not make the barren's attack stop a little. On the contrary, they found that the weather was not conducive to the fire attack, so that they could let go of their hands and feet.

"Woo-woo..." The desolate horn sounded, and thousands of Hu people launched a new round of fierce attack along the foot of the mountain. This time, their front was extremely long and gave full play to their advantages in strength. In the stalemate a few days ago, the Hu people were able to free their hands to detect the road ahead. As long as the traps and other things dug by Song people before have now been recognized by them, thus losing the threat, which naturally allowed them to completely launch a strong attack.

Looking at the vast Hu people, Song Jun on the mountain did not panic. They have long had such psychological preparation. After all, they set up an ambush here to kill them, and now there is no way out. Let's fight!

Under the leadership of several generals, more than 3,000 Song troops were divided into three groups and constantly rotated to fight against the attacking Hu people. First, they blocked the enemy with the few remaining bows and arrows and log rolling stones, and hit the enemy back to the ground one by one. And when there were fewer and fewer weapons that could block the enemy at the lowest cost, they began to officially use weapons to resist the enemies that kept emerging from below.

The long spear can ask for a complete elevation attack every time it is stabbed, and I don't know how to defend the body of the barbarian. And when another barbarian appeared in front of everyone flexibly with his body, several steel knives were cut down. The man would usually be killed alive before he could dodge, and then the body fell down and smashed several unprepared barbarians.

This positive confrontation reflects Xu Jinghong's ability to select these soldiers and ruffians in the camp. These soldiers, who are quite a headache for the military leaders, are all good men with a cavity of blood, especially when they want to survive, they burst out amazing combat effectiveness. There is almost no need for Xu Jinghong and others to say anything more. Every soldier will try their best to fight with the continuous killing of the barb people and kill them to the death. Kill it.

And Xu Jinghong, Wang Liehai and other military masters with good martial arts did not look behind, but were alwaysware of the loopholes in the defense line. Once they find that the soldiers are tripped by the Hu people, so that the Hu people can find an opportunity to rush forward, they will quickly fill the gap with their superior combat effectiveness, and kill and kick the Hu people down the mountain.

Because the Song army was determined to complement each other, after two days of bloody battle, the Hu people still could only sigh at this mountain at the cost of 3,000 casualties. At the same time, the Hu people outside the valley also tried to crawl in from the outside several times, but were also found by Mao Shun and others in time, and then Song Jun immediately made a deployment.

If the enemy outside the canyon wants to come in, it is more difficult than the people below to go up the mountain, so Song Jun only transferred hundreds of elites, which is enough to defend there and block the attack of thousands of Hu people outside.

It can be said that in the past two days, the Song and Hu armies in the canyon have not fought except for rest. The physical fitness of both sides has reached the limit. Sometimes when they are close, they can also hear the heavy breathing from the other party's mouth, which shows the tragedy and importance of this battle.

When another full attack was suppressed by Song Jun, Hu temporarily stopped the attack and began to save lives and heal the wounded, as well as restore physical fitness. On the mountain, Song Jun immediately began to bury the pot to make rice, put the beef and mutton prepared before into the pot and cook it. After a while, the mountain filled with the smell of meat.

The fragrance floated down the mountain, but it made a group of Hu people feel more uncomfortable, because the food in their hands was cold horse meat. When they returned from Song this time, they didn't have time to replenish the dry food and heavy work, so they rushed to chase Xu Jinghong. Originally, there were not many utensils and fires left to cook meat, which were not enough to supply tens of thousands of people. They could only be enjoyed by some high-ranking leaders, while ordinary barbarian soldiers could only eat war raw. The horse's meat.

Originally, it was difficult for them to eat the meat of horses fighting side by side with themselves, but now they still eat it raw, which is even more shocking the mood of the barb people. Therefore, whenever the two sides truce and eat, it is the most silent barrier between the Hu people. No one can guess what the Hu people are thinking in their hearts. The feeling of depression only makes people feel frightening.

On the mountain, Song Jun used rice harmoniously. In addition to beef and mutton, there were also some fried noodles and other grains left before. They entered the grassland smoothly and quickly captured several Hu people's ethnic groups, so the previously prepared rations still exist today. Now these fine grains have become the special food for the wounded, because their intestines and stomach may not be able to digest meat all the time, which is naturally proposed by Xu Jinghong.

Because of such thoughtful care, the wounded are slowly recovering, which also boosted Song Jun's morale, because everyone knows that their general did not ignore you because of your injury, so there is nothing to be afraid of. This is also the reason why Song Jun can still maintain a strong fighting spirit in such a situation.

Xu Jinghong held a coarse porcelain bowl with a few pieces of beef and mutton and some broth in the bowl. After eating these things to supplement his physical strength, he asked the old dog around him who was temporarily a quartermaster: "Well, how long can our weapons and food last?"

The old dog was still eating a leg bone. Seeing Xu Jinghong asking this question, he swallowed the meat in his mouth and sighed, "Food can still last for a few days, but the arrow stone is about to run out!" And because of the fierce battle, many soldiers' weapons have been damaged. I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, even if we don't reduce our personnel, our combat effectiveness will be lost a lot.

Hearing what he said, Xu Jinghong couldn't help locking his eyebrows. He found that there were still some leaks, and the barbarians were much stronger than expected. This time it was indeed too dangerous.

"In fact, we have achieved great results this time, and the loss of the Hu people is much greater than ours. Moreover, many of their tribes have also lost their productive capacity due to our expedition. The power of the Hu people has been greatly damaged. Within ten years, I'm afraid it will be impossible to pose too much threat to my Song Dynasty. This is what Wang Fang said. As one of the generals in the north, he still knows more about the situation of the Hu people, and his words are more convincing.

Xu Jinghong nod slightly, but not too excited: "You're right, but it's not all I want to see. I want to mess up and hurt his vitality, but I don't want all my brothers to die here.

"But in the current situation, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to retreat completely. The Hu people at the foot of the mountain are still far above us, and there are still people outside the valley. Even if we can really drag the Hu people at the foot of the mountain to death, it is not easy to go out. Wang Liehai was also a little worried and said, "Does Brother Xu still want to bring everyone back to Songdi?"

"There is nothing in this world that can't be done, only we can't do it!" Xu Jinghong put a clean bowl on the stone beside him and said, "No one could believe that we could go straight into the grassland and kill Hu people, but today we have done it. Later, no one believed that we could rely on the terrain to retain multiple enemies here. Haven't we done it now? And it also dealt them with great damage. Since we have done the first two points, it's not too much to think about retreating, is it?

When everyone heard what he said, they were also confident. They didn't really try it, and they really couldn't deny the possibility of things in one word. Then, everyone's eyes showed more desire, because from Xu Jinghong's words, they have realized that he has an idea to take everyone out of today's Jedi. With the previous series of successes, everyone trusts him very much. Since he has said so now, he must have some plans.

"Team Zheng, what do you want us to do?" Finally, Xiong Geng was the first to put forward his own idea.

Xu Jinghong looked at the black barbarian team at the foot of the mountain and said in a very tough voice, "If we want to get out of the Jedi from now on, we must take a risk, that is, take the initiative to kill down the mountain!"

"What?" The surrounding soldiers were very surprised when they heard his words: "Let's all kill down the mountain and start a close battle with several times the barren with this force?" Thinking of the situation at that time, everyone showed timidity. After all, Song Junzhen and the Hu people have not benefited from the fight over the years.

But Xu Jinghong nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's just going down the mountain and confronting it head-on. Even we can't believe the actions, and the Hu people are naturally unprepared. Moreover, the battle in the past two days has greatly damped the morale of the Hu people. Now let go of the battle with it, and our grasp will be much higher!"

"Brother Xu's statement has a certain truth. We kill from the mountain, and its momentum is also great. As long as we grasp one degree, we can really defeat several times the enemy. But even so, I'm afraid it's difficult to get out." Wang Liehai looked worriedly at the entrances filled with falling stones at both ends of the canyon.

Xu Jinghong laughed and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. If nothing changes, we can defeat them, even completely annihilate the Hu people under the mountain, and only die in the valley. But in fact, I don't think everything is unchanged.

"You mean..." Wang Liehai's heart suddenly moved, and then there was a smile.

"It's true that the barbarians attack us in turn, but they will never just do such a thing. They decided that we would eventually be annihilated by them, so all they had to consider was not only to attack the mountain, but also how to get out of the canyon. And in the past two days, they don't seem to have tested the export anymore. What does it mean?

"They chiseled the valley mouth over there when we were resting?" The old dog immediately came to his own conclusion, and then looked at Xu Jinghong: "Team, am I right?"

"That's right, that's what they should have done. With the Hu people's army, Gukou was really excavated without interference, and I'm afraid it can be opened up in a day or two. At that time, the Hu people had a way out. They could walk out of the valley and then block the road and trap us alive here. Xu Jinghong's eyes showed inexplicable worry: "So if we want to protect ourselves, we have to fight. After defeating them, we will kill them from the mouth that is about to be opened!" Xu Jinghong's words were sonorous and powerful that people around him could hear them clearly.

Everyone was silent at first, but then they also showed determination, because they knew that Xu Jinghong's speculation would probably come true. So no matter how they think about it, they must leave this seemingly safe mountain, but in fact, there is no way out, and turn to defense into attack!

"Team Zheng, then tell me, what should we do next? Shall we go down the mountain now and fight with those dogs, or wait and see again? Xiong Geng, who was belligerent, immediately asked.

"Let's delay one more day. One day, the morale of the Hu people at the foot of the mountain will be lower, and they will only think about how to go out and besiege us, instead of fighting desperately. At that time, as long as we attack with all our strength, we will definitely achieve unexpected results!" Xu Jinghong clenched his fist and said, "Tomorrow, everything should come to an end!"

"How long will it take to get through the passage over there?" Tongus looked at the disgraced subordinates in front of him and asked expectantly. As Xu Jinghong expected, the Hu people really sent a man and a horse to quietly dig the valley entrance channel at the other end at night.

This subordinate hurriedly replied, "It will take another day or two, because I dare not make a big noise, which shocked the Song people above, so our progress is a little slower."

"Very good, we can attack another day tomorrow and leave this damn place at night. At that time, I will throw these hateful Song people ashes one by one!" Tongus said viciously. However, Wanyan Dala and Xiao Qin around him were not very excited. Because of this war, the losses of the two sides far exceeded that of the Turkic. Even if they finally won, they would inevitably become vassals of the Turkic Tongus.

It's just that at this point, their will is no longer allowed to be transferred, and they are also full of hatred for the Song army that killed countless ethnic groups, and they also hope to kill all the undead of their own people.

So the night was very peaceful, and the next day's battle was still cruel. Many soldiers of Song and Hu died in the last battle that was already the attack and defense of the two sides. When the day was getting dark and darker, the Hu people's attack stopped, and the calm at the foot of the mountain had returned to calm, the real battle suddenly broke out!

More than 3,000 at night can be regarded as compensation for the whistle update of the previous two days~~~~~~~
