Chapter 0071 Night Battle 02
The arrows come from the top of the hill on both sides.
The charioteer leader was furious and immediately organized archers to fight back.
However, the archers of the Pakistani army were condescending, and they were not afraid in the face of several times the arrows.
Whoosh!
As a result of the shooting, the enlightened archers were killed by arrows one after another, and the Pakistani army was unscathed, but because the mountain was too high, the strength of ordinary arrows reaching the top of the mountain was sharply reduced, and the armor of the Pakistani archers could not be damaged.
In the next round, another group of enlightened archers arrived.
Whoosh!
The tide of battle has not changed, and the enlightened archers have done their best.
Again, still.
Since the beginning of the battle, the enlightened army has not engaged a single enemy head-on, but it has lost nearly 100 chariots and more than 1,000 soldiers.
Enraged, the charioteer leader ordered the attack to be halted, reorganized his bare-bones, and approached the foot of the mountain with shields in hand, intending to force his way to the top.
Then this was not possible, the mountains on both sides were high and steep, difficult to climb, and as soon as the soldiers showed their heads, a dense rain of arrows poured in.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers were killed by arrows, and the rest were suppressed at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, a herald came to the leader and conveyed the order of the Captain.
When the leader heard this, he waved his hand, and all the soldiers withdrew from the passage.
After a short time, two more columns of soldiers appeared, each holding two shields in his hands, one on top of his head and the other connected in pairs, forming two impermeable walls of shields, which slowly entered the passage along both sides.
Then two more columns of soldiers, armed with digging tools, moved into the passage under the cover of the shield wall.
Seeing this, the Pakistani army naturally understood the intention of this move, which was to use the cover of shields to fill in the soil pits in the passage so that the chariots could force through.
Just as the enlightened soldiers were about to approach the front row of dirt pits, the elite soldiers of Pakistan who were lurking halfway up the mountain had already secretly descended to the foot of the mountain, and suddenly jumped out, waved their short swords, and covered up the unprepared enlightened soldiers.
Poof!
The enlightened soldiers, who held their shields in both hands, were powerless to resist and fell to the ground one after another.
At the same time, arrows were fired from the top of the mountain.
This time, a salvo was fired at the mouth of the passage, blocking both the rescue path of the enlightened army and the retreat of the soldiers who entered the passage.
When the soldiers with shields are killed, the soldiers who try to fill the pit are completely exposed to the opponent's arrows.
Immediately, a rain of arrows poured down from the top of the mountain again, reaping the lives of these soldiers in an instant.
This is not over, the entrance of the passage continues to be blocked by a rain of arrows, and the Pakistani soldiers who are still at the foot of the mountain enter the passage together, quickly put away the arrows on the corpses, and retreat to the foot of the mountain before the enlightened archers can fire the arrows.
Looking at these Pakistani soldiers, each of them has a rope tied to his body, one end tied to the trunk of a tree halfway up the mountain. The next moment, the group of soldiers quickly retreated halfway up the mountain, relying on ropes, and hid into the dense forest.
There was silence all around.
The passage, less than a hundred feet away, was filled with the corpses of nearly 2,000 enlightened soldiers.
Shame!
The enlightened army, brave and good at fighting, powerful in all directions, this time the 100,000 people, in the face of 30,000 enemy troops, were blocked in a small passage, unable to advance an inch!
At this time, Lord Xiao Ying, the commander of the enlightened army, finally couldn't bear it anymore, led his horse to the front of the formation, and glanced at the corpses of soldiers piled up at the entrance of the passage, and frowned slightly.
"Order, drive horses to fill the pit, and the dead soldiers will also enter the pit to fill it!"
In the middle of the sound, Lord Taiwei glanced up at the rising moonlight, and coldly ordered.
The next moment, a hundred chariots were pulled forward. The soldiers got out of the car, came to the horse, stroked their hands to appease the horse, and said goodbye to the horse.
Hiss!
The war horses roared in unison, as if they understood what their master meant.
The armor soldier dodged out of the carriage, and then at the sound of an order, the horses moved in unison, pulling a chariot for every four horses, and galloped towards the passage.
Touch!
Hiss!
The war horse and the carriage fell into the pit.
The wagons shattered, the horses screamed, and became waste to fill the pits.
The next moment, the next group of war horses composed of three chariots did the same and rushed into the pit without hesitation.
In the third case, the nearest row of earthen pits near the entrance of the passage was filled.
Then, two columns of unarmed soldiers with two shields came out again, the difference was that behind each soldier, there were two more companions with halberds, intended to guard against the Pakistani soldiers who rushed down from the mountainside.
A mobile wall of two shields slowly entered the passage on both sides, and at the same time, two more columns of soldiers came out with digging tools, intending to level the pit that had just been filled.
Sou!
Whoosh!
The dense rain of arrows poured down again, and many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.
But this time, a steady stream of enlightened soldiers immediately filled in and continued to level the pit.
At the same time, the elite soldiers of the Pakistani army lurking in the middle of the mountain no longer hidden, and leaped down with the help of the ropes around their waists, and launched a hand-to-hand life-and-death struggle with the enlightened soldiers on both sides.
Halberd against halberd, Ge against Ge, sword against sword, for a while, the sound of weapons colliding on both sides of the passage was everywhere.
The rain of arrows continued to pour down, swishing and swishing.
In this fight, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Halfway up the mountain, 5,000 elite Baguo soldiers lost more than 1,000 in the blink of an eye.
The enlightened soldiers paid an even greater price, with dozens of people falling for every meter ahead.
But the pace of the advance of the enlightened army continued unabated.
After the first row of pits was leveled, the next group of warhorses galloped with horse-drawn wagons and fell into the next row of pits.
In this way, the enlightened army steadily advanced little by little to the depth of the passage.
The numerical superiority of the enlightened army was further highlighted, and the soldiers in front fell, and then they were replenished. The corpses that had just fallen were thrown into the nearest earth pit, further speeding up the filling of the pit.
The rain of arrows overhead continued, but it was noticeably less dense than before, which meant that there weren't many arrows left at the top of the mountain. The balance of victory and defeat is tilting in the direction of enlightenment a little bit.
Woo!
At this time, a long roar broke through the air, which was a strong attack signal from the Pakistani army to the unarmed soldiers on both sides.
In the next moment, the remaining nearly 4,000 elite soldiers all attacked, covering the Pakistani soldiers from both sides.
Poof!
It was a dreary fight, no drums, no horses' hooves, not even the wails of soldiers, only the snorting of blades piercing flesh and blood, bloody and terrifying.
Batch after batch of enlightened soldiers fell, and batch after batch came in again.
Pakistan's elite soldiers also fell one by one, and the rest continued to fight. They have no reinforcements, and they have long been determined to die, and they want to take as many enlightened soldiers as possible before they fall, so as to win more hope for the Taiwei behind them and for the Pakistani country behind the Taiwei.
"People are here!"
In the blink of an eye, there were only more than 1,000 Pakistani soldiers left, and the leader suddenly shouted.
"People are here!"
The rest waited for a loud response.
The next moment, this group of brave Pakistani soldiers poured into the passage and launched a final charge against the more and more enlightened soldiers!
Batch after batch of soldiers fell.
The moonlight is like a wash, sprinkling a gentle silver glow.
Under the moonlight, blood splashed and reflected the sky above the narrow passage.
"People are here, the array is there!"
With the last of his strength, the last Pakistani soldier stabbed the halberd into the body of an enlightened soldier.
The same is true for the other party.
Both knelt on the ground, and the two halberds were inserted into each other's bodies, relying on each other, and each other did not fall for a long time.
