Chapter 299: Training with Battle (Part 2)

It was dark to withdraw the troops, and the atmosphere on both sides of Baihu Mountain was solemn, and the result of this battle was somewhat beyond their expectations.

The bandits on the mountain realized that the combat power of this Qingzhou official army was far above their own. If they did not have the advantage of the terrain, they would have been completely defeated and could not even defend the mountain village. This made the Kong brothers quickly ordered their subordinates to take advantage of the darkness to take advantage of the darkness and transport the hoarded stones to the front of the village and set up new traps.

At the same time, Kong Ming said with a serious expression: "We cannot be reserved if we fight tomorrow. Take out all the crossbows. It is necessary to cause enough damage to the official army so that they can't afford it!"

"Brother, that's the last guarantee for our Baihu Mountain, and the crossbow consumes arrows too quickly... Or I'd better ask me to take my brothers to kill you, maybe I can kill them back!" Kong Liang said uneasy.

Kong Ming shook his head: "We can't hold on without using this trick. Don't forget that the gunman who killed us outside that day did not appear today. If he kills him tomorrow, can you stop it?"

This time, Kong Liang no longer insisted. The pressure Lin Chong brought him was too great, so he could only follow his brother's wishes and use the treasure of the mountain.

In the military camp at the foot of the mountain, the Qingzhou army was filled with sadness and anger. After all, they had never really been on the battlefield, and had never experienced such a large casualties. Seeing that the robes that were talking and laughing with them just now turned into corpses, the impact was too great. Some people's eyes were red and they were almost crying.

Seeing this, Sun Tu shouted loudly: "Why are we crying? Since we are the official army of the Song Dynasty, we should be prepared to sacrifice our lives for the country at any time. On weekdays, we are rigorous in order to make you less casualties during the war. But you have not experienced any war, so you will always make mistakes in attacking the mountains today. Only when you learn these lessons and correct your mistakes can you truly kill the enemy and protect yourself in the future, and not let down the hard work before and the casualties of these brothers!

"The soldiers of the A character camp and the B character camp all returned to the camp to rest. The B character camp was divided into three shifts tonight to prevent the thieves from attacking at night." After encouraging the soldiers and making corresponding arrangements, Sun Tu brought several important generals into his central army tent.

After looking at each other for a few glances, the soldiers finally dispersed, leaving only dozens of soldiers from the B-shaped battalion guarding around the military camp either openly or secretly.

It was not until he entered the central army tent that Sun Tu's stiff expression relaxed and he sighed softly: "Although it was expected, the casualties were still too great." Today, thirty or forty people died in two rounds of attacks on the mountain, with nearly a hundred casualties. This was quite a great damage to the more than a thousand wing troops in Qingzhou.

Zhou Xing then showed a look of self-blame on his face, and immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee and said, "The Chief Minister, it was the general who was inappropriate in command, which caused the mistakes today. Please punish the Chief Minister!"

Feng Yu, the commander of the Yi character camp, was stunned and followed him forward: "There are also responsibilities for low-ranking positions, so we will be punished together."

After sitting up, Sun Tu swept back and forth across the faces of the two, and after a moment, a smile appeared on his face: "Get up. If you want to talk about responsibility, I, the responsibility of the chief supervisor, is the heaviest. It is rare for you to be calm today when you first came to war, especially Zhou Xing. You did not lose your position due to a sudden change, otherwise the casualties of the Jiazi Camp would only be greater.

"This time, using war to replace training is my idea, and casualties are inevitable. As long as you can learn from this battle and make progress, the sacrifices of your brothers are valuable. I am summoning you today not to pursue the blame, but to arrange a plan to attack the mountain tomorrow." At the end of the conversation, his eyes had moved away from the two commanders and fell on Lin Chong and others.

However, this time Lu Da and Lin Chong remained silent. Although they were both military and had a lot of martial arts skills, they were not the director of the team to lead troops. However, Qi Desheng said after hesitating: "Dujian, today, although there are not too many bandits in Baihu Mountain, their defense is extremely stable. Although it is not impossible to succeed in the strong attack, the casualties must be huge, which is very unwise. Therefore, the last thing is that they should use other strategies, such as inducing them to take the initiative to go down the mountain, or to fight steadily and slowly erode them."

"It may not be easy for them to take the initiative to go down the mountain after these two wars." Yang Zhi frowned and said, "Those thieves know how strong our official army is, even if we pretend to retreat at this time, they may not dare to pursue it boldly. Therefore, slowly eroding is a way."

Sun Tu nodded in agreement: "Actually, I think so too, but what kind of tactics should I do? Will I continue to attack the mountains in turn?"

"I thought that bluffing and letting them expose all their defenses, or consuming their rocks, arrows and other weapons, will be of great benefit to us. As long as the soldiers of the Third Battalion pay attention to their distance and protect themselves, and do not rush to the mountain, the situation should be within our control." Qi Desheng spoke his tactics.

Sun Tushen agreed: "This is a solution. After all, it's just a word of consumption. Okay, then according to what you said, we will focus on consumption in the next two days. Let the character C battalion fight tomorrow and not rush up the mountain, and consume their rocks first! The two battalions A and B have the same strategy in the future, and are ready to change troops at any time."

"Here!" The commanders of the third battalion all stepped forward and crossed their hands to respond.

Baihu Mountain is the first battle for the Qingzhou army to wipe out the bandits in the territory. They must not let themselves make any mistakes.

The next morning, just as the sky was bright, the loud drums and whistles rang out from the bottom of the mountain again. Then, the soldiers from the Bing camp were already shouting and starting to rush towards Baihu Mountain.

Hearing this movement, the bandits on Baihu Mountain quickly gathered together, and many minions came to the rock trap that had been re-paved in the middle of the night without the instructions of the Kong brothers. They raised their swords and waited for the officials to rush to the hillside and broke the rope and put the stones.

At the same time, with Kong Ming's order, more than 30 archers in the village also picked up more exquisitely designed crossbows and aimed down. Once the rocks rolled down and the official army came up again, they had to give the enemy a headache.

As soon as they were ready, the official army had already pounced on the mountainside. Kong Liang called the order, and the rope broke, and the rocks blocked by the net bag rolled down again, pressing straight towards the official army with a rumbling sound.

But this time, the reaction of the government army was very different. Instead of standing up the shield as yesterday, they directly turned the back team into the front team and quickly retreated down. Moreover, according to their rapid reaction, they were obviously prepared and in the blink of an eye they all went to the open ground to dodge. The dozens of rocks almost pose no threat to them...

"What a cunning official army!" Kong Liang's face turned pale when he saw it, and immediately shouted angrily: "Brothers, they are afraid, kill me!" Before he finished speaking, the others had already jumped high, jumped off the cliff about a foot high, raised their swords and rushed down.

After hesitating, the bandits mustered up the courage and rushed down with swords and guns. But after they rushed down for a while, a rain of arrows came towards them, shooting first and several people fell over directly. If Kong Liang hadn't reacted quickly enough, they would have been injured. In desperation, they could only retreat temporarily.

This time, the Bing camp actually learned his lesson. Instead of taking the upper hand as he had just taken the lead, he kept rushing hard, but regrouped into a formation and then slowly pressed up.

Kong Ming couldn't hold his brother in a flash, and he was also anxious. Seeing that Kong Liang was defeated, he quickly ordered people to go down with a crossbow to respond. However, until the two sides met and retreated to the village, the other party was still a distance away from the crossbow's range, which made them have to wait for defense.

At this time, the official army suddenly stopped in front, blocked the front with a large shield, and set up a defensive formation, but it seemed that it did not mean to continue attacking.

Seeing this, Kong Ming was even more frightened: "Are they... planning to siege us?"

"We are afraid of them if we surround each other. After all, we have the advantage of geographical advantages, and we can take the initiative to attack and fight them back at night!" Kong Liang said angrily. He was almost injured just now, and he felt really uneasy.

"That's not what it means. In this way, it will be difficult for us to set up the stone formation. Moreover, their troops are far more powerful than our Baihu Mountain. If we spend money, we are not opponents at all!"

Just after Kong Ming finished his judgment, another official army at the foot of the mountain started to move. This time, they ran up the mountainside as fast as possible, and then quickly changed positions with the people from the Bing character camp, and replaced the people from the Bing character camp who had just been struggling to kill.

"This..." Kong Ming's face turned pale. The situation he was most worried about happened. The other party wanted to confront his family on the mountainside. As long as the brothers showed a trace of flaw, the official army would take the opportunity to kill. By then, at this little distance, they would not even have the chance to remedy.

"You can't just sit there and wait for death, you must fight!" Kong Ming quickly made a decision in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "All brothers will follow me to kill and disrupt their formation. The crossbowman then came down. As long as they were in chaos, he would shoot arrows with all his might. This time I will make them pay a heavy price!"

The minions on the mountain knew that it was at the critical moment of life and death, and they all made a ruthless move and agreed to prepare for the weapons. Under Kong Ming's order, the remaining two hundred Baihu Mountain people shouted and rushed down. The momentum was even greater than the rocks that had just fallen.

The officials and soldiers guarding the A-shaped camp below immediately cheered up when they saw this. Although they could not set up a defensive round formation here, they still lined up in the most favorable posture to defend. Fifty archers even took the arrows and aimed at them.

Just as the enemy rushed in front of them, their arrows had already whirled out and shot down more than ten minions who were in the lead. But this could not stop the steps of the others in Baihu Mountain. The Kong brothers even took the lead and rushed forward. With a few bangs, they had split the shields in front and then rushed into the military formation.
