Chapter 80: The Decisive Battle Begins
The next day, before the thin clouds and mist dissipated, there was an earth-shaking drum sound in the Wagang Army camp.
Knock~Knock~~
Accompanied by the long sound of drums, the 180,000 Wagang army was fully armed, holding a mighty blade out of the camp and array, trampling on the ground with smoke and dust, and the sound resounded through the world.
Li Mi was dressed in a golden helmet and golden armor, holding a war sword, riding on a snow-white lion horse with no variegated white on his body, his eyes were shining coldly, and his eyes were coldly watching the movements of the Sui army camp in front of him.
The strategist Bing Yuanzhen, who followed Li Mi's side, also stationed on his horse to look at the Sui army camp. After a long time, he sighed helplessly: "King Wei, the walls of the Sui military camp seem to be full of archers, it seems that they are not going out of the camp to fight us." ”
Wu Tianxi, who was on the side, waved his golden hammer hatefully and sighed: "It's a pity, if the Sui army can go out of the camp to fight our army, the chances of winning this battle will increase a lot." ”
Li Mi shook his head, of course he also hoped that the Sui army would come out of the camp to fight, but he also knew that this possibility was almost remote. Secretly sighed, and immediately shouted: "Order, beat the drum and march!" ”
Knock knock knock!!
The drums were dense, like a raging storm, and they were very different from the long drums that had just passed, and they were the drums of the attack.
Boom, boom...
The formation of the Wagang Army was sensational, maintaining order, and advancing towards the front little by little. From afar, it looks like a huge dark cloud.
Probably a few hundred paces away from the Sui army's main camp, the drumming stopped abruptly, and the whole army suddenly stopped advancing.
Yang Gao, who was also dressed in gold armor, stood tall on the sentry tower of the Chinese army, and kept coldly watching the movements of the Wagang army. At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh: "The order is forbidden, it is really an elite division." It is not unreasonable for Li Mi to be able to dominate the Central Plains. ”
Chang Yuchun behind him sneered: "Your Majesty, rest assured, no matter how elite the troops are, it is impossible to stop the footsteps of the Great Sui Zhongxing." Soon, the Wagang Army that dominates the world will become history. ”
Boom! Knock knock!!
The fierce drum beat sounded again, interrupting the conversation between Yang Gao and Chang Yuchun. I saw that Ge Congzhou and Zhu Youwen, the generals of the Wagang Army in the first formation, had already led the army to launch, shouting and rushing towards the camp of the Sui army, and the more than 30,000 Wagang troops were like a rolling black wave, murderous.
The general of the defenders stationed in the front camp of the Sui army was Li Siye, who was covered in black armor and stared at the Wagang army who were overwhelmingly coming to his own camp. When the Wagang army entered the range of the bow and crossbow, their eyes widened, and they shouted: "Shoot!" ”
Thousands of crossbowmen on the camp wall quickly set up their arrows and wound them, without even aiming, but with all their might, they shot towards the Wagang army within a hundred paces, the sound of the bowstring ringing endlessly, and the arrows rained down, rushing towards the oncoming Wagang army.
"Wow!"
The screams were endless, and they rang out loud and sound. In an instant, four or five hundred Wagang sergeants fell in a pool of blood. Or he was shot in the head, neck and other vital parts by a bow and arrow, and immediately fell to the ground and died. Either they were shot through the thighs and arms, or they were directly nailed to the ground, making heart-rending wails.
"Raise your shield, raise your shield!"
Ge Congzhou is also a talented general, and immediately shouted loudly, sharply commanding his subordinates to raise their shields to meet the enemy.
Tens of thousands of Wagang troops raised their shields one after another, slowed down, and slowly advanced against the rain of arrows.
However, as the distance between the two armies approached, the shield gradually lost its protective effect, and many feathered arrows shot directly through the shield to the soldiers below. At the same time, the trebuchets placed in the camp by the Sui army also began to show their might, and dozens of trebuchets were launched together in an instant.
Hundreds of large stones weighing three or five pounds drew a gorgeous parabola in the air with the sound of the howling wind, and fell heavily in the Wagang army. After a heavy noise, the dust flew, and many people were smashed on the head and bled out, and fell weakly on the battlefield.
But none of this forced the Wagang army to retreat, and even though there were many dead and wounded, the Wagang sergeants still gritted their teeth and rushed forward. After paying the price of three or four thousand casualties, the Wagang army finally rushed to the front of the Sui army camp, laid wooden planks on the trench, leaped over, and set up wooden ladders on the camp wall, and the Wagang soldiers began to climb the wall bravely.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Finally rushed to the bottom of the camp wall, the morale of the Wagang army was greatly boosted, and many brave warriors who were not afraid of death roared one after another, holding knives in one hand and shields in the other, and climbed upwards slowly.
Li Siye saw that the Wagang soldiers were about to kill the city wall, so he immediately waved the flag and ordered in a loud voice: "The crossbowmen quickly go down the camp wall, and the pikemen go up the wall, and I will stop the Wagang army coming up." ”
Wow, oh...
Li Siye gave an order, and the crossbowmen who were still on the city wall got off the camp wall one after another, walked to a place dozens of steps away from the camp gate, re-arrayed and continued to release arrows outward. The thousands of pikemen who were originally on standby below quickly climbed the camp wall and shouted towards the Wagang army who rushed to the camp wall.
Bell bell ...
The sound of weapons colliding was heard at this time, and the soldiers of the two armies engaged in a fierce battle on the narrow camp wall, and the entire line along the wall was littered with corpses, and blood stained the entire land.
The only thing on the mind of the living soldiers, whether it is the Wagang Army or the Sui Army, has already killed each other, and the only thing on their minds is to kill, and the only action is to cut out the weapons in their hands, then take them back, and cut them out again.
"Get out of the way for me!"
With a loud shout, Zhu Youwen, the second son of Zhu Wen, who boasted of being brave and fierce, flew up to the city wall with a big knife in his hand, and rushed into the crowd in a blink of an eye to slash and kill. Seeing his bravery, several pikemen of the Sui army glanced at each other, and each brandished the spear in his hand and stabbed at Zhu Youwen.
"Hah!"
Zhu Youwen roared, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he actually cut several spears in two, and the head of the spear fell to the ground with a clang.
Several Sui soldiers were taken aback when they saw this, and hurriedly turned around and left. Where is Zhu Youwen willing to let go, he immediately caught up with the two who walked the slower, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, the two heads moved from his neck in an instant, and a stream of blood arrows sprayed into the air.
Zhu Youwen smiled and wiped the blood that had just splashed on his face, and shouted, "Brothers, kill me!" "Anyway, he charged first, and led a group of warriors who climbed the wall to kill the Sui army and retreated.
Seeing this, Li Siye was furious, raised a knife in his hand, and quickly went up to the camp wall to take Zhu Youwen directly, "The little thief is going to be rampant, take your grandfather Li Siye a knife." ”
Zhu Youwen was born a calf and was not afraid of tigers, and when he heard Li Siye's roar, he did not retreat but advanced, and raised his knife: "Li Siye, right?" Let you be the first stepping stone on the road to fame! ”
"Kid looking for death!"
Li Siye was furious when he heard this, his wrist flicked, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand swept out. Zhu Youwen hurriedly raised his knife to block it, but unexpectedly, Li Siye's knife was a false move, and his body suddenly jumped up, raised his kick, and kicked Zhu Youwen in the chest.
