Chapter 7 Frustration, the source of confidence

Although mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, the entire hillside can be crawled, which seems to be more conducive to the expansion of troops for the Jin army.

Han Shouzhong held up a telescope and observed the Jin army below the ridge, with a sneer on his face.

The trenches, chest walls, plum blossom stakes, deer villages, iron thorns... The complete fortifications made Han Shouzhong full of confidence. Unless the soldiers collapse without fighting, the Jin army would like to attack, so they would use corpses to assist the road!

"Woo, woo--woo----" With the long horn, the observation post sent out a signal, and the Jin army began to attack again.

The troops led by Wanyan Bird are not elite, but they have been trained by the battle formation. From the movements, we can see that many people are flexible and quick, holding shields, big swords and spears in their hands, shouting and charging upwards.

The crossbows shot at each other. Although the Jin army attacked at a low attack, many archers' skills were better than the Red Turban Army. The quality of the bows and arrows was also good. If they had not squatted down, they would have bunkers and covered by chest walls and shields, the casualties of the Red Turban Army would be much higher than they are now.

Both sides suffered casualties, but the Jin army continued to rush upward, getting closer and closer, and shouts became louder and louder.

The drums rang out, and the defenders lifted the wooden rocks. These things rolled and jumped along the mountain, causing far more damage and chaos to the Jin army than crossbow arrows. This is the advantage of relying on danger. As long as the soldier has the strength, throwing stones can cause trouble to the attacking enemies.

The experienced Jin soldiers continued to rush up one after another, rushing harder and more fiercely with arrows and rolling wooden stones. Hundreds of people actually had a momentum of winning.

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-" the horn sounded.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The stone bullet kept hitting the head of the Jin army, crashing into the hillside in vain, stirring up gravel and soil. The stone thrower was first activated behind the trench and fought back fiercely at the Jin army.

Screams and wails sounded, and from time to time, rolling wood and stones wrapped around the soil, grass chips rolled down from the ridge, knocking the Jin soldiers away like dolls. The momentum of the Jin army's attack was slumped, and the shouts became weaker.

A Jin army officer howled loudly and directed. He was agile and agile. He avoided two rolling woods in a row. Dozens of elite soldiers gathered around him and continued to rush upwards.

With the desolate horn, the defensive firepower on the position suddenly increased. The earth cannon with the iron hoop was ready to be fired. Although the range of the pine cannon was only thirty or forty meters, it was now the distance that the Jin army had already hit.

Fire lights spewed out, shooting hundreds of gravel and rotten iron at the Jin army. With one after another, screams and screams, the Jin army rushing ahead suffered heavy casualties, and the impact was blocked before the last obstacle.

The earth cannon has a very lethality at close range. Although the loading speed is relatively slow, it can be fired in turn depending on the number.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Balls of white mist rose up, and shrapnel with the breath of death shot towards the Jin army in densely.

Within this distance of less than forty meters, the surface damage of the earth cannon can exert its power. The shrapnel flying out quickly made the Jin army's armor a decoration, ruthlessly shot into the body, causing huge damage.

Wanyan Bird almost stared at the foot of the mountain, and the charge on the front was about to collapse. The enemy's firepower arrangement was very fierce. The enemy was too sinister and did not fire all within the maximum range, just to make the Jin army, who were inconvenient to rush up the hillside and retreat, pay more casualties.

The bombardment of earth cannons, the stone bullets of stone throwers, and the shooting of crossbows slowly stopped. The smoke quickly dissipated by the wind, and the miserable scene appeared before us.

Wanyan Lin - Wanyan Bird's eyes were sore and he couldn't find his powerful generals. It was obviously a bad fortune. And it was difficult for the wounded on the hillside to catch them back.

Mingjin withdrew his troops, Wanyan Bird gave the order helplessly and heartbroken.

Facing the retreating Jin soldiers, the attacking drum trumpet rang on the ridge. Under the command of their respective generals, the Red Turban Army jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the remaining enemies on the hillside.

The Jin army was just like this. Han Shouzhong looked at the soldiers who killed the wounded soldiers on the battlefield and stripped them of armor, and a smile appeared on his face. Most of the defenders were soldiers who had fought in the east and west. Meng Jiucheng's thoughts, Han Shouzhong naturally understood that he wanted to achieve a defensive victory, which not only attacked the enemy's arrogant arrogance, but also increased the confidence and courage of the Red Turban Army.

No matter whether it is a war or a surrender in the end, the rampant attack on Wanyan Bird can only be a brave fight back. If it is a war, there is no need to say much; if it is a surrender, defeating Wanyan Bird will also raise his own value and accumulate capital for bargaining, rather than bowing down, which is despised.

Obviously, Wanyan Bird did not look down on the Red Turban Army and attacked Fang Guosan, which seemed to give him arrogant capital, and he wanted to defeat him in one go and make military achievements. Therefore, he accepted the money given by Meng Jiucheng, but put forward harsh conditions. After being rejected, he led his troops to attack.

"Return to the general, the Jin army suffered heavy losses and casualties--" Han Shouzhong hesitated for a moment after hearing the officer's estimated figures and continued to dictate the order, "The casualties are being counted, and the preliminary estimate is no less than 200. Please order the general if our army takes action."

After sending out the communications troops, Han Shouzhong summoned the officers to re-strengthen the fortifications and prevent the enemy from attacking again.

Judging from the current weapons and equipment of the Red Turban Army, defense is stronger than field combat. The judges such as Han Shouzhong and other officers made this judgment. The training, actual combat and growth of soldiers also gave them quite strong confidence.

"Are you afraid of death?" "You are not afraid of death when you are a soldier, but you are not afraid of death."

According to the rules of the Red Turban Army, the chief officer would yell at his soldiers every day; and the soldiers would answer loudly without hesitation. This is a psychological hint that is constantly deepening and strengthening, and it is also the most basic and reasonable requirement. As a soldier, he is to fight, and he may be injured or sacrificed. Without such psychological preparation, is he still a qualified soldier?

We will provide full guarantee of food and salary, and all kinds of treatments are both generous and generous. Try to ensure that the soldiers have no worries. Meng Jiucheng has done everything he should do and given everything he should give. If you choose this profession to glorify your ancestors, get promoted and make money, or support your family, you must have the awareness of conscientiousness and responsibility.

To be honest, there is no one who is not afraid of death, but the real warrior is not cowardly in the face of death and the courage to face it.

I dare not say that there are no timid people in the Red Turban Army, but this is the case during the overall battle. The robes and comrades around you can bring you courage and make you strong. If you are escaping, it is a different matter. You can only run between individuals and don’t care about others.

Escape is often faster than perseverance, but under pressure, not everyone thinks so.
