Whistling rocks tumbled down the hillside. Like dozens of rapids rushing on the hillside. Everywhere I went, the branches and leaves of the trees broke, the rocks burst apart, and the smoke and dust billowed up. Not only were the Jurchen soldiers and horses attacking the mountainside suffering a sudden blow, but the soldiers in a straggler formation on the hillside below were not spared. The mud and stone smoke rushed straight down, and it was not until the barren grass ground dozens of steps down the slope that it stopped rushing forward.

The rumbling sound of rubble slowly subsided, and after the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the traces of the stones on the hillside slowly appeared. The entire hillside seemed to be pulled by the gods with a huge iron rake on the hillside, and hundreds of rake marks appeared, and the trees, grasses and shrubs in them were all cleaned up, leaving only the bare mountain after being peeled. This scene was truly shocking.

Between the branches and leaves, countless Jurchen soldiers groaned and arched out like earthworms, coughing loudly, gasping for breath, and moaning loudly. All the Jurchen soldiers who were within the influence of the rolling down of the mud and stone waterfall, within a width of six or seven zhang, had broken their heads, bleeding tendons, and broken bones. It was lucky to be able to arch out, many people were stunned by the stones, and at the moment they were still buried under the rocks, mud and miscellaneous branches and leaves. Unless someone digs up now to rescue them, they will surely die. However, at such a time, how could the Jurchen soldiers and horses have time to save them, and they were also destined to be buried alive and died. In comparison, those Jurchen soldiers who were directly hit by the boulder and were directly crushed and killed in the middle of the path were lucky, at least they died quickly and without pain.

The sudden blow caused heavy casualties and chills to the Jurchen soldiers and horses attacking the mountain, and the first thing the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape was to immediately turn around and run down the mountain. This time, however, there was no way back.

The power of the rolling stones is shocking and powerful, but it only affects a small area on the hillside. Most of the Jurchen soldiers were unaffected by falling rocks. The impact on the slopes of the mountain, which was several miles wide, was limited, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses in the vast gaps between the rockflow were not affected at all. They were only stunned spectators when Shicai's shocking scene happened. The vast majority of the attackers were only frightened, but unscathed.

"The general has an order, those who escape from the battle, die! Fear the former, die! Keep rushing for me! ”

Dozens of Jurchen generals brandished scimitars and roared loudly in the rear. They had already been given a death order, and those who retreated without permission were to be slashed on the spot unless the general ordered them to retreat. At this moment, under the eastern and western slopes, two thousand Overseers were each holding maces. Whoever dares to back down, these people will not hesitate to smash their heads with maces. In addition to these overseers, there are dedicated overseers at every level, and behind each soldier there are people ready to kill if they dare to flee back.

Dozens of Jurchen soldiers who fled down the mountain in fear were slashed and killed in front of the soldiers without hesitation. This also made the soldiers understand that they had only one way to attack upward

Road. Despite the fear and anger in their hearts, the Jurchen soldiers also had to cheer up, they turned around and continued their charge towards the hillside.

Below the pass, Yalu Buhua personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to prepare to launch a fierce attack on the pass. Yalu Buhua knew that the pass was actually the most critical place. From the perspective of topography, the gentle slope under the pass itself is an official road, and the terrain is gentle and open, which is conducive to the charge of cavalry. Compared to the hillside terrain to the left and right, it is actually easier to break through the opponent's defense line here. It was only blocked by the opponent's three iron thorn formations, so it didn't succeed yesterday. The pass was a hub connecting the enemy forces on the left and right slopes, and it was evident that the movement between the defenders on the hillside was carried out through the pass position. If you can take the pass position first, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the enemy forces on the slopes on both sides and dividing the opponent's troops and horses. At that time, as long as you outflank in either direction, you will be able to completely eat the opponent.

But the problem is that after yesterday's defeat, the efforts made during the day have also come to naught. Last night, the Luo Yan Army must have cleaned up those mud bags and wooden rafts. Those ground thorn formations were exposed again, and they would become obstacles to the charge again. Therefore, what Yalu Buhua had been thinking about last night was how to quickly break through the obstacles of the Iron Thorn Formation again, so that his soldiers could safely rush to the top of the pass and attack the enemy's defense. Eventually, one of his generals proposed a solution to him, which Yaru decided to use without hesitation.

When the boulders on the slopes on both sides rolled down, Yalu Buhua was just ready to attack. What happened on the hillside also frightened him, but it did not make him retreat in the slightest. He immediately ordered his men to reiterate his order to attack, and at the same time ordered his men and horses to begin charging along the gentle slope to the pass.

The cavalrymen rushed to the middle of the gentle slope and jumped off their horses, and they pulled out of formation, lining up the horses, facing the direction of the pass.

"Ready!" Someone shouted.

The Jurchen cavalrymen standing on the side of the first row of war horses drew daggers from their waists with solemn faces and raised them high. Their eyes flashed with helplessness and reluctance, for they were about to lay hands on their beloved mounts, forcing their horses to rush forward and thorn them in front of them. These horses are horses that have grown up with them, and each horse has developed a deep bond with its owner, and they can even understand what they say and will accept any instructions they make. But today, I will be forced to force these silent comrades to wade in front of those sharp ground thorns and pave the way with their corpses.

The soldiers were very sad and indignant that their incompetent general had come up with such a bad idea, even if everyone tried their best to oppose it. He's determined to do it. He said that in the future each of them would be given a good horse, and that he would have to do so in order to win the battle. The soldiers knew that no matter how good a horse was, they could not compare to their own mounts that they grew up with. But they had no choice

。

"Ready! Stab! A loud shout rang out, and the first row of Jurchen cavalry twisted their faces and stuck the daggers in their hands on the hips of the horses beside them. More than a hundred horses neighed violently, and after suffering from pain, they rushed madly above the pass.

"Thorn!" The ruthless and cold order was heard again. 2nd row, 3rd row, 4th row...... Thousands of horses were stabbed in the buttocks with daggers from their masters, and they all rushed madly above the pass in pain, forming a raging torrent.

Yalu didn't spend time watching all this below, both distressed and full of anticipation. What hurts me is that the importance of horses to the Jurchens is self-evident, and today I am forced to do this, but I really can't let go of it, and I feel very uncomfortable. And whether this galloping horse charge can really achieve the effect he hoped for before, and whether it can smooth the way forward in one fell swoop, really makes him look forward to it.

The frantic horses quickly rushed to the location of the first iron thorn formation. Last night, the Falling Goose Army naturally dispatched to clear the covering on the ground thorn formation, so that they could show their edge again. Therefore, at this moment, the iron thorns on the ground are standing at the roots, and the cold light is shining. The galloping war horse rushed to it, trampling on it without stopping, and suddenly the mournful neighing of the war horse was earth-shattering. The iron spikes pierced directly into the horns of the horses' hooves, pierced into the flesh, and the four hooves connected to the heart, and the horses experienced the most bone-chilling pain in their lives, and naturally let out an extremely terrible neigh. Next, some of the horses that stepped on the iron spike burst with a strong body, and they could also jump up from the iron thorn with force. However, some horses have four hooves pierced, and then they fall directly to the ground with four hooves. Inches of spikes pierced their flesh, sending their blood gushing and dying quickly.

Countless war horses rushed forward, one by one the war horses fell on the iron thorn array, and in the end, hundreds of war horses died on the iron thorn formation and became a stepping stone for other horses. The horses that followed rushed forward over the iron spikes on their carcass. The second Iron Spike Formation and the third Iron Spike Formation were also broken through in the same way.

This is exactly what Yaru Buhua wanted, he wanted to use these horse corpses to complete the cover of the Iron Thorn Array, although cruel, but the fastest and most effective.

"Rush me!" Yaru didn't spend a lot of time swinging the mace in his hand and roared loudly.

The Jurchen soldiers shouted loudly, rushed up the gentle slope with their blades raised, and stepped on the smooth road paved with blood and horse corpses, and they did not suffer any damage from the iron thorns, and rushed directly through the second and third ground thorns. Reach a distance of 100 paces below the pass at breakneck speed.

No one expected that the fastest breakthrough was in the direction of the pass ramp that was deflated yesterday. Even the defenders of the Luoyan Army did not expect that the first crisis to appear was actually here at the pass. The other party's methods are really surprising. And the most troublesome thing is that the pass at this moment is when the troops are the weakest. Not long ago, two teams of 5,000 men supported the slopes on both sides from the direction of the pass, and now Gao Muqing only had 9,000 men guarding the pass. The situation suddenly became dire.
