Chapter 608 Attacking the Mountain II

The information brought back by the scout captain of the Shun Army was not very important, and it was impossible for them to find out very confidential information in such a short period of time.

They can't even be sure if the information is true or not.

But this was enough, and the commander of the Shun army was only finding more sufficient reasons for his actions.

The news that the Shun army had begun to attack the mountain made several generals of the guard army breathe a sigh of relief.

"If you don't come again, I will think you have some conspiracy!"

Shun Jun and them scouting battle is what the generals of the Divine Guard want to see most.

Because it would give them more time to build more forts and traps in Anshan.

It's just that some people can't wait any longer. If the Shun army doesn't attack again, Ma Teng will lead the cavalry into the Shun army camp.

The three groups of guard generals were stationed in the southeast, southwest, and south of Anshan, and the Shun army basically launched attacks from these three directions when attacking the mountain.

Why not attack the mountain from the west and east slopes, and then outflank the guards on the south slope?

Of course, the hillsides in these two directions are not suitable for attacking.

The west slope is densely covered with jungles, and small-scale scouting battles are okay. If the main force also attacks the mountains from here, unless the dense forests are cut down first.

Not to mention cutting everything, it is very difficult to cut out a road for the army to pass.

It's true that the guards on the mountain are all wooden people, and they will watch the Shun army cut down all the trees on the mountain!

Xipo is not easy to fight, so what about Dongpo?

Dongpo does not have so many trees, but it is slippery.

The east slope is steep and the terrain is rugged, which is not suitable for a large army to enter the mountain.

Unless the Shun army is willing to spend more than ten days detouring to the north slope, the south is their must attack direction.

It was precisely this point that the Divine Guards were able to safely build all the fortifications on the south slope.

The Shun army dispatched the main force on the first day of attacking the city, and 30,000 Shun troops rushed towards Anshan mightily, and the guards in each direction had to face more than twice as many enemies.

But they're used to fighting more with less, it's just twice, what a trifle!

Who let us have a protagonist who likes to make big gains with small things.

And they also built so many fortresses on the mountain, and the waste of so much energy was not in vain.

In order to ensure the rapidity of the raid (although they failed), the Shun army did not bring any siege equipment.

They also didn't expect that someone would build so many forts in the mountains in such a short time.

Although these fortresses are very small, the most can only accommodate four to five hundred people, don't underestimate this small fortress.

When you become a soldier attacking the fort, you will know how terrible these forts are.

The Shun army suffered a lot in front of this kind of inconspicuous small fortress.

Hundreds of corpses of Shunjun soldiers were left in front of each fort.

According to this rate of casualties, the Shun army would have to withdraw within a few days.

Of course, these fortresses will also be damaged after fierce fighting, and will be breached by the Shun army.

But no one knows when they will be breached, and how many lives will be needed to fill them before then.

At least General Shun didn't want to fill this bottomless pit with his life.

"Tomorrow, we will start building siege equipment. There is enough wood on the mountain. Give me a lot of energy to build it. The speed must be fast!"

Fortunately, there was a craftsman battalion in the Shun Army. They did not bring siege equipment, so they had to bring some people who could make equipment. This was the experience of the Shun Army from years of combat.

Even the expedition to the grassland is the same. There are not many materials that can be used to make equipment on the grassland, but the people who make the equipment will still bring it.

On the second day, the general of the Shun army still sent 30,000 people to attack the mountain. They could not give the rebels a chance to breathe, otherwise they would have time to repair the damaged fortress.

It's just that the more than 10,000 Shunjun troops serving as a reserve team have a new mission today, to build siege equipment with the craftsmen.

The walls of the fortress are not high, and the equipment they build does not need to be too large. This kind of small and medium-sized siege equipment can be built by the army a hundred in a day.

There are not a hundred fortresses on the mountain if they are doubled.

Two siege machines are enough for a fortress, and there is no room for more.

Counting the battle damage, the more than one hundred siege equipment is enough for a few days.

If this batch of engineering equipment is exhausted and they haven't cleared the fortress on the mountain, to be honest, the commander of the Shun army can already consider retreating.

If the Shun army is really unwilling to retreat, they can also build a new batch of equipment. Anyway, there are many trees in the mountains, and their manpower is also sufficient.

"Bah, bah, bah... Who said that the fortress on the mountain cannot be leveled when all the equipment is exhausted? If you catch it, throw it to the Death Squad!"

A general of the Shun Army who led troops to attack the mountain was furious when he heard the rumor, and threatened to throw them into the death squads.

If he could find someone, he would definitely do so, but unfortunately he didn't have time to track it down at this time.

With the siege equipment, the Shun Army's offensive achieved greater results than yesterday. The Divine Guard Army was forced to abandon five small forts.

It is impossible to fix it in one night, so I can only give up.

Fortunately, there are many fortresses on the mountain, and five are only a small part, only one tenth!

On the contrary, the commander of the Shun army felt that their results today were a bit small.

Nearly one-fifth of a hundred siege machines were lost, only to force the rebels to abandon five small forts, almost as if the rebels were giving them alms.

But there is also good news, today's casualties are much less than yesterday's.

Yesterday, more than 1,100 soldiers remained on Anshan forever. Today, less than 600 soldiers died.

Not counting the injured, the number of deaths alone has been reduced by half compared to yesterday. Sure enough, the equipment is not made for nothing, and productivity is combat effectiveness!

"Continue tomorrow, at least unplug fifteen for me to make a fortress!"

The commander of the Shun army assigned a rather difficult task.

Time is waiting!

Even at the rate of fifteen per day, it would take three or four days to remove the fortress on the mountain.

These few days are enough time for the guards in Anyang County to make many responses.

For example, bypassing Anshan to outflank their rear, and they will be besieged at that time.

The general of the Shun army is a little anxious. Unlike the soldiers under him, he has many things to consider, not only the Anshan offensive, but also the entire Cheng'an County, Anyang County, and even the entire north of Shun Country.

Difficult!

I can only hope that the soldiers on the front line can bring him good news.

On the second day, the Shun army launched another attack on the fortress on the mountain with the replenished siege equipment.

Yesterday's battle showed that there is still a big difference between having equipment and not having equipment. Taking advantage of the relatively sufficient manpower, the Shun Army built more equipment.

It doesn't matter if you can't use it, you can dismantle it and burn it as firewood.

There are still 10,000 troops in each direction, and they are pressing down on the southern slope of Anshan.

The third day of attacking the mountain started very calmly. The guards on the mountain and the Shun army on the mountain got used to the rhythm of attack and defense.

Especially the Shun army, the huge casualties in the past two days made them instantly enter a state of fierce fighting, they must be serious, otherwise they will lose their lives!

Some of the ones who didn't adapt were the Divine Guards.

The battle in the past two days was exceptionally smooth, but the sudden increase in casualties today made some guard captains very distressed.

"Damn it, you can't fight like this. If you fight like this again, our battalion will be wiped out!"

Let the commander of the first battalion say such words, today's situation is really not good for the guards.
