Turbulent Times Chapter 1496: Money makes ghosts turn mills

"How about we trap them to death!" Li Jing noticed that Wang Junlin didn't seem to be in any hurry to take down Huangshizhai, and he had a vague guess, so he suddenly said: "My lord, it's better to send troops to block their way down the mountain, and we will take care of ourselves." Going to attack Fengyang City from the ground, here is an upward attack, and it is a narrow mountain road. Our trebuchets can't use the gunpowder bags, but Fengyang City is different. As long as we capture Fengyang City, we will break the Huangshi Village. Grain and grass will trap Cheng Yaojin to death on Huangshi Village."

Shen Guoer hated Li Jing for always looking confident, and said lightly: "How can you trap them to death? There is a stream on this Huangshi village. There is no need to worry about water sources, and there are sufficient food reserves. Even if there is no food, this In the mountains, is there plenty for them to eat? We have less than 50,000 troops here, and this force can't stop them at all. What's more, these Wagang Army soldiers are considered elite, whether Cheng Yaojin, No matter Xu Shiji, he would not look at us without taking any countermeasures."

Li Jing was silent, how could he not know what Shen Guoer said, just now he said that because he saw that Wang Junlin deliberately delayed the attack on Huangshizhai, and it seemed that he had other purposes or deep meanings, but after thinking about it for a long time, it was really true He couldn't figure out what other meanings Wang Junlin could have for procrastinating besides the two purposes he mentioned, so he said these words to test.

It's a pity that there are too many smart people under Wang Junlin's command. His tentative words are actually very reasonable and even insightful to ordinary people, but Shen Guo'er, a woman, can easily find a lot of loopholes.

………

There was no battle in the afternoon, but the troops under Li Shanfei's command were extraordinary. From the captains to the ordinary soldiers, they were all discussing how to break through the enemy's second hurdle while reducing their own losses as much as possible. discuss.

Cheng Yaojin in Huangshi Village did not dare to take it lightly. The opponent paid a considerable price to win the first level, but suddenly stopped attacking. This can only mean that when the opponent attacks again When it happens, it will definitely be more violent and more difficult than last time.

Let's not talk about the presence of the poisonous king Wang Junlin in person, but judging from the behavior of the Far Eastern Army in the past, he would never believe that the Far Eastern Army would retreat after being killed. This is not the style of the Far Eastern Army in the information they inquired about. .

That night, Cheng Yaojin didn't sleep well all night, so he sent people several times to pass orders to Li Hu, the guard at the second checkpoint, telling them to be careful, and asked Li Hu to go to the gate every half an hour to inspect the wall .

Among the intelligence information they have, it is not unprecedented for soldiers of the Far Eastern Army to attack checkpoints at night, especially since he also knows that the Far Eastern Army has a special operations brigade, and it is said that these people are best at night raids and stealing cities.

If the special warfare brigade of the Far Eastern Army came up in the dark, it would be lost in a daze

The checkpoint is a joke, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

But there was no movement in the camp of the Far East Army all night, Cheng Yaojin could vaguely see that the camp on the left of the Far East Army was brightly lit, and it was noisy for most of the night.

In the early hours of the morning, just as white belly appeared in the sky, Cheng Yaojin was awakened by the sound of attacking drums.

At the second pass, Li Hu, the guard, jumped up and strode up the wall. The soldiers under his command had already been waiting in full force. Will push it down.

The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who launched the attack from the first checkpoint were different from yesterday. A strange looking plane was slowly pushed forward by rows of soldiers on the railing made of giant wood. Zhang, the thick and thin tree poles of the bowl mouth, on the tree poles, every one or two meters, the same thick and thin tree poles cut off from the bowl mouth are connected in the middle, and layers of soft nets made of hemp rope are tied in the middle.

With just one glance, Li Hu understood that the opponent designed this thing for their defense against the Rolling Stones. The giant wood blocked the first wave of attacks, and then layers of soft nets could make the impact of the Rolling Stones invisible one by one. , This method is very stupid, and the speed of advancement is extremely slow, but it is very effective, at least it can greatly reduce casualties.

Under such terrain, rolling stones and woods were the most effective means of killing. They could kill a large number of vital forces of the Far Eastern Army, and the death conditions were extremely miserable. Many were even crushed to a **** mess. Pi, this would be a great blow to the morale of the Far East Army, but the opponent's stupid method can minimize casualties.

"The situation is getting worse!" Li Hu cursed. He originally wanted to wait for the enemy to attack the middle section before releasing the rocks to kill as many enemies as possible. The rolling distance has increased the impact force.

"Let go!" He ordered through gritted teeth.

Several stone bullets bounced and rolled down the narrow mountain road following his orders, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The soldiers of the Far East Army stopped advancing, shouted, and stopped the block in the middle of the road , resisted stubbornly.

There was a loud noise, and the barrier in front was broken from it. The huge impact caused the two soldiers who were supporting the front to fly backwards, but the people in the air were spurting blood from their mouths, and they couldn't live anymore. , The soldiers behind watched helplessly as the stone bullet broke through one block, broke through the second block, then tore through the second block, and finally stopped in front of the third block after bouncing a few times.

The soldiers of the Far East Army cheered, this time the losses suffered were minimal.

The soldiers at the back carried the new barricades up quickly, and the blocked stone bullets were quickly pried to the side of the road. A group of soldiers from the engineering and supply battalion swarmed up, with hammers and nails on top, and their movements were skillful.

The barricade was repaired in twos and threes. Dozens of soldiers carried it up and rushed up following the soldiers in front.

Seeing that the method worked, Li Shanfei, who stood at the first checkpoint and looked up, let out a long breath. As long as he can successfully get under the second checkpoint and start a hand-to-hand combat, he believes that no one can It can stop their Far East Army's melee attack.

Cheng Yaojin's face in Huangshi Village was so gloomy that he could drip water, but the situation on the battlefield has undergone a great change, and they lost a lot of their terrain advantage all of a sudden.

On the city wall of the second pass, Li Hu kept ordering to roll down the raging wood and rolling stones while preparing for the enemy's siege. The soldiers of the Wagang Army on the pass also became nervous. The situation at the first checkpoint, the enemy obviously learned a lesson.

Li Hu was about to order to release a few more rolling stones at once, when there was a burst of cheers on the checkpoint, but a stone bomb was bounced by a boulder, suddenly jumped up, flew into the air, and passed the barrier, Rolling all the way, he brought out a stream of blood among the soldiers of the Far East Army.

But this kind of accident was only the first time. Li Hu knew the seriousness of the situation just by looking at it, and ordered: "Every time two stone bombs are released at the same time, I don't believe that their block can stop it." Can live."

……

"If we can't hold the second checkpoint for more than three days, I'm afraid we will lose this battle very badly, and Huangshi Village will not be able to hold it." Cheng Yaojin's expression became more and more serious in Huangshi Village , but a fierce look flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the Far East Army can finally attack, they will suffer heavy casualties."

"Come here, send another two thousand people to the second pass, and carry all the silver money in the stronghold down. Those who are brave in battle will be rewarded on the spot, and tell Li Hu that I will let him send the money to the second pass within three days. All the money will be rewarded to the warriors who dare to die and fight." Cheng Yaojin knew very well that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and he acted decisively and abnormally.

Money can turn ghosts, this sentence itself is exaggerated and untrue, but the meaning reflected is very sharp and correct.

The effect of money cannot be ignored in any era, in any field and situation. The morale of the Wagang Army at the second pass soared. Many people paid a lot of money, but failed to overcome the second pass in half a day.

So far, Li Shanfei's 10,000 people have taken turns to go to the battlefield, and they have lost 2,000 people. The look and temperament are obviously different from before going to the battlefield. They have gone through the gate of **** and almost died on the battlefield. Or watching the changes in performance of a companion after dying in front of his eyes but being powerless.
