Chapter 201 Occupying the Fortress
Soon, Ba Muhua mobilized all the troops on Peacock Mountain and descended the mountain in a furious manner, intending to eat all of Yu Hao's bodyguards.
But when he rushed to the battlefield, he found that except for the corpses of barbarian soldiers, all the ox carts transporting armor had disappeared. Even the bodyguards had disappeared. It seemed that they had left for a long time.
"This loser, didn't I ask him to hold back the enemy? Now that the armor has been taken away, how can I explain it to the queen?" Ba Muhua said angrily.
If the deputy general was not already dead, he would have to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.
"General, those Dagan people are not on horseback, so they shouldn't be able to run far. Why don't we catch up, and maybe we can catch up." A centurion suggested.
Ba Muhua thought for a while, shook his head and said: "What if I catch up and am ambushed by Da Gan again? Although my armor is lost, with my previous military exploits, the queen should not punish me severely. The most important thing now is to defend Good Peacock Mountain Fortress, keep building armor."
Wait, guard the Peacock Mountain Fortress?
At this moment, Ba Muhua suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.
He was so angry just now that he wanted to wipe out Yu Hao's ambush.
In addition, the situation was critical and there was no time to make arrangements, so he summoned all the garrison troops on Peacock Mountain to support the transportation team.
But he ignored the most fatal problem. He took away all the garrison. Wouldn't the Peacock Mountain Fortress become an empty city?
Thinking of this, Ba Muhua quickly shouted: "Hurry, come back to the fortress with me!"
At this time, Bamuhua wanted to slap himself twice. If the Peacock Mountain Fortress was gone, the queen would have to kill him!
Bamuhua's men didn't know what happened, but seeing Bamuhua's panic, they had no choice but to rush up the mountain with him.
As soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Ba Muhua saw the light of the fire on the top of the mountain. That location happened to be in the direction of the mine and the forging room!
"Son of a bitch!"
Only then did Ba Muhua realize that he had been fooled. The escort did not run away at all, but instead launched a sneak attack on the Peacock Mountain Fortress!
The barbarians already lack craftsmen, and their forging technology is even more backward. If the forging room is destroyed, it will be difficult to continue forging iron armor.
At this point, Bamuhua had no choice but to urge the soldiers to speed up and get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.
He believed that he could easily defeat the bodyguards with his heavy troops. As long as he wiped out all the bodyguards, the queen might not blame him.
In the Peacock Mountain Fortress, Yu Hao did not expect that Ba Muhua would be stupid enough to take away all the garrison troops, not even leaving the manpower to mine the ore.
There were only a few craftsmen left in the entire Peacock Mountain, allowing Yu Hao to occupy Peacock Mountain without any effort.
"Sir, the forging room has been burned down and all the forging tools have been destroyed. However, the mine is too strong and will not collapse for a while. In addition, a large number of iron ingots were found in the forging room." Lanhuhui reported.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't collapse. By the way, how are the craftsmen doing?" Yu Hao asked.
"There are not many barbarians among these craftsmen. Most of them are our Daqian craftsmen who were kidnapped by the barbarians. I have controlled them all and are waiting for the Lord to be punished." Lan Hu said angrily.
Yu Hao nodded. He had heard Li Feng mention accidentally before that both the barbarians and the Xiongnu lacked craftsmen, so they would often send people to sneak into Daqian territory and secretly kidnap Daqian craftsmen to work for them.
"Kill the barbarian craftsmen, leave the Daqian craftsmen behind, and take them away with the iron ingots later," Yu Hao ordered.
At this moment, Shi Meng's voice came from the fortress wall: "Yu Hao, the barbarian soldiers are coming up!"
"We'll fight as soon as we come up. By the way, send a signal to Lao Han!" Yu Hao said nonchalantly.
The next second, a loud arrow was shot into the sky, resounding throughout the sky.
Ba Muhua also heard the sound of arrows, but he didn't know what it meant.
As the saying goes, it is easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain. At this time, Bamuhua and his tribe ran all the way to the top of the mountain, and they were all exhausted and panting.
But Bamuhua didn't give them a chance to rest and immediately ordered an attack on the fortress.
At the same time, crossbow arrows rained down from the fortress wall, and the barbarian soldiers suddenly fell to the ground.
However, Bamuhua and his men did not carry any siege equipment and could not even open the fortress gate.
Even if he was lucky enough to rush under the wall, he could only keep hacking at the gate of the fortress with his sword.
But the fortress gate is so thick, how can it be split open with a sword?
Although the barbarian soldiers were not afraid of death, they were unable to attack the fortress, and the battlefield became a one-sided massacre by the bodyguards.
"Quickly, chop down the tree, chop down that tree and break the door open!" Ba Muhua had an idea and pointed at a big tree with a diameter of 80 centimeters not far away and shouted.
As soon as this order was issued, five barbarian soldiers immediately raised their axes and rushed towards the big tree.
It has to be said that the strength of the barbarians is really great. The big tree lasted less than ten seconds under the siege of five barbarian soldiers before it collapsed to the ground.
At this time, the escort also noticed the situation here and immediately shot and killed the barbarian soldiers who were cutting down the trees.
But soon more barbarian soldiers came to replace them. They removed all the branches of the big tree, then picked up the big tree and rushed towards the gate of the fortress.
Upon seeing this, Ba Muhua's eyes flashed with pride. As long as he could break open the fortress gate and enter the fortress, the bodyguards in the fortress would no longer be able to resist!
At this moment, crossbow arrows suddenly shot from all directions, and hundreds of barbarian soldiers around Bamuhua fell down before they could react.
It turned out that when the Korean soldiers heard the sound of arrows, they immediately led five hundred escorts to the top of the mountain, and then dispersed and hid in the woods.
At this time, under the cover of night, like ghosts, the bodyguards kept shooting at the barbarian soldiers in the dark. The barbarian soldiers could not even see anyone and lost their lives inexplicably.
The barbarian soldiers on the other side holding the tree pole and hitting the gate did not go as smoothly as Bamuhua imagined.
After training at Haoyue Manor, all the bodyguards were skilled archers, and their divine arm crossbows were highly accurate. The barbarian soldiers who hit the door died one after another.
Almost as long as someone comes close to the tree pole, he will be shot by the bodyguard.
In addition, the tree pole is too heavy and cannot be carried without people, so until now the tree pole has not been able to touch the fortress gate.
As the casualties increased, the barbarian soldiers gradually collapsed, and many soldiers fled in all directions.
However, the bodyguards led by Han Bing had long been hidden in the surrounding woods, and these escaping barbarian soldiers all became living targets.
"You bastard, don't run away, get on top of me!" Ba Muhua slashed two fleeing barbarian soldiers with her own hands, and was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
But the Peacock Mountain Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They don't have any siege equipment, so they can't attack it at all. If they rush up to it, they will die, which is meaningless.
In addition, the bodyguards hiding in the dark were constantly firing cold arrows, causing many barbarian soldiers to die in mysterious circumstances.
As the saying goes, the unknown enemy is the most terrifying. The bodyguard hidden in the dark undoubtedly cast a shadow of terror on the hearts of the barbarian soldiers.
