Chapter 288: The Battle of the Sunset (Part II)
Zhao Hong landed steadily back on the city wall with a somersault, and then he began to close his eyes and concentrate, his breath rising, and constantly adjusting the spiritual power in the group. With a loud shout, Zhao Hong slammed the spear he held high to the ground, and a powerful cold current descended down the city wall. Immediately afterward, dozens of thick, sharp ice picks instantly sprang up from the ground of the valley below the city walls, piercing the bodies of more than a dozen fierce beasts with a single blow.
For a while, countless pillars of blood burst out from under the city wall, and the blood sprayed in the air and condensed into red snowflakes in a short time slowly fell down, and the frequent and dense impact sounds under the city wall also weakened a lot.
The soldiers who were fighting on the city wall saw such a heroic scene of their own masters, and they couldn't help but let out an exciting shout together. Zhao Hong, who was a little too violent, slowed down a little, turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, kill all the fierce beasts and hold the pass!"
All the soldiers shouted in response: "Kill all the fierce beasts! Defend the pass! Kill all the fierce beasts! Defend the pass!"
An hour later, Zhao Hong returned to the military tent in the pass to rest, when a messenger came in and said, "General Qiyu, all the wounded and supplies in the rear valley have been assembled half an hour ago, and now they are heading towards Yueliang City. ”
Zhao Hong nodded a little tiredly and said, "Well, okay, you go down first." As long as Lei Yueying can carry a large number of supplies and wounded people to set off smoothly, Zhao Hong can concentrate on dealing with the fierce beast in front of him.
After a while, Zhao Hong spoke outside the tent and said, "Come on, go and find Gao Yi for me." ”
After a while, a tall general walked into the military tent, saluted Zhao Hong and said, "General, you are looking for me." ”
Zhao Hong looked at Gao Yi and asked, "Ten days ago, I asked you to explore the situation on the peaks on both sides of the valley, how is it now?"
Gao Yi replied: "General Hui, the peaks on both sides of the valley are extremely steep, and it may be difficult for our soldiers to go up. ”
Zhao Hong asked, "Can a small number of elites go up?"
Gao Yi said with some hesitation: "If it's just an elite, it can go up, but... Now our troops are already tight, if we take the risk of dividing our troops... ”
Zhao Hong ignored Gao Yi's words and continued to ask: "How solid are the peaks on both sides of the valley? Is there a way to blow down some of the peaks on both sides?"
"General, what do you mean... Gao Yi only reacted to what Zhao Hong wanted to do at this time, Gao Yi said: "The peaks on both sides are still very solid, and it is no problem to cause avalanches on the mountains, but if you blow down the rocks, I am afraid it will be a little difficult." ”
Zhao Hong said: "If it were easy, I would have blown down the rocks on both sides and blocked the valley." All you have to tell me now is if you can do this?"
Gao Yi bowed his head and saluted, and said, "The last general will do his best to complete the mission!"
Zhao Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a thousand elites with the best fire system exercises in our army, and you can complete this matter with you." After you have done this, I will personally ask the general for your credit. ”
"Yes!" Gao Yi turned around and withdrew from the military tent.
Since the alarm was sounded at the pass, the beast had been attacking the pass for nearly fifteen hours. During this period, Zhao Hong would climb the city wall from time to time to release a wide range of cold attacks on the fierce beasts, so as to relieve the pressure on the soldiers on the city wall for a moment, and then Zhao Hong would return to the military tent to recover his spiritual power, and so on.
Despite the constant support of top masters like Zhao Hong, the frantically attacking beasts still caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers. In just a dozen hours, the number of soldiers killed on the city walls has reached more than 3,000.
And Zhao Hong's frequent release of large-scale attacks also made Zhao Hong more and more tired, and the interval between each time he went to the city wall became longer and longer. However, the attack of the fierce beasts outside the city walls showed no sign of abating at all.
Zhao Hong climbed the city wall again and asked the adjutant general who was commanding the battle, "How many soldiers do we have left that can fight now?"
The adjutant general replied: "General Hui, we still have more than 20,000 and 400 soldiers left who have been sacrificed and seriously wounded. ”
In such a short period of time, one-fifth of the troops have already been reduced, and the situation is not optimistic! Zhao Hong continued to ask with an expressionless face: "Send the seriously wounded soldiers to the rear, how is the damage to the city wall now?"
The adjutant general said with some concern: "Our city wall has obvious cracks now, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, I am afraid it will not last too long." ”
At this moment, a series of huge roars suddenly occurred on the peaks on both sides of the valley, and then a large amount of snow on the top of the mountain swept countless huge gravel all year round, smashing from the towering peaks into the beasts in the valley, and the large landslides instantly covered the countless fierce beasts in the valley.
But it was far from over, as the valleys on both sides continued to shake violently, and large areas of mountains continued to slide. At this time, Zhao Hong saw a large number of soldiers from the Yanyun Kingdom falling into the valley from the high mountains as high as a hundred feet.
Zhao Hong frowned slightly, it seemed that in order to successfully blow down the rocks on both sides of the valley, Gao Yi led the soldiers to stand at the highest point of the mountain, and now they themselves were also involved in the collapse of the mountain.
Zhao Hong thought secretly in his heart, 'Gao Yi, you have done a good job, you and the soldiers will not die in vain!' Then Zhao Hong shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, General Gao Yi caused a landslide, eliminated a large number of fierce beasts, and it was difficult for the fierce beasts in the rear to cross the mountain rock for a while." Take advantage of this opportunity to attack the whole army to clear out the fierce beasts under the city, and seize the time to repair the city wall!"
Hearing Zhao Hong's shout, all the soldiers rushed out of the pass with a shout in unison, as if they had been injected with a heart booster, and killed all the fierce beasts that were stunned by the landslide and were still alive under the city wall. Hundreds of soldiers climbed up the city wall with neat movements and began to repair it, and the rest of the soldiers began to clean up the corpses of the fierce beasts under the city walls, so as to prevent the corpses from being used by the fierce beasts behind them to climb the city wall as they got higher and higher.
The landslide caused by Gao Yi only bought Zhao Hong's army less than two hours of respite, and then there were countless fierce beasts, some of which climbed over large areas of rocks, and some of which slowly crawled out from under the buried rubble, and launched an even more crazy impact towards the pass.
Zhao Hong sat expressionlessly on the general's chair in the camp tent, leaned his head back on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. The adjutant general stood aside and said with an anxious expression: "General, we have been holding on for more than forty hours, not only will the city wall soon be unable to hold on, but even our soldiers will only have seven or eight thousand left. ”。
Zhao Hong closed his eyes slightly and asked calmly, "Are there any signs of a significant decrease in the fierce beasts in the valley?"
The lieutenant replied in a deep voice: "The number of fierce beasts in the valley has indeed been greatly reduced, but... I'm afraid we won't be able to wipe out all these beasts. ”
