Chapter 532: Breaking through Tongguan (Second Update, Asking for Subscription)
The strength of this defender is not weak, even Yao Ping can't take it down in a short time.
But it wasn't the two of them who decided the outcome of the battle.
When Yao Ping and the defenders were fighting, the battle between the soldiers of the two sides was the condition that determined the final victory.
But when the two sides are fighting in array, the Snapdragon Army has an absolute advantage. Don't look at the morale of the defenders, it's quite uplifting, but after meeting the Snapdragon Army, it's not worth mentioning at all.
The Snapdragon Army charged in formation, starting a wave of slaughter, and anyone who touched it in front of him could not escape the fate of death. If you want to ask for a way to live, you can only abandon the war and flee.
In Tongguan, there are many defenders.
If only these Snapdragon troops led by Yao Ping are used, it is naturally impossible to kill them all, and it is more likely that the Snapdragon Army will be defeated by exhaustion, no matter how strong the soldiers are, there is a limit to their strength.
Although the Snapdragon Army is invincible on the battlefield, it is not a freak like Li Yuanba, it is impossible to have an endless stream of strength, and after a long battle, it will inevitably be consumed.
However, the protagonist at this moment is not Yao Ping.
With the sudden situation on the upper floor, Lou Jicheng immediately seized this opportunity.
He just led his troops to storm Tongguan, in order to create an opportunity for Yao Ping, and now Yao Ping is entangled with the defenders, which is to create an opportunity for him, and with mutual cooperation, he can win.
Above the Guanlou, although there are still defenders resisting the Snapdragon Army, compared with before, this defense has undoubtedly dropped a lot. And this is the opportunity that Lou Jicheng is waiting for.
Lou Jicheng turned around and looked at the Snapdragon Army, his eyes were cold, and he shouted:
"The Snapdragon Army listens to the order, follow me to tackle the problem!"
This was not a casual order, after Lou Jicheng finished speaking, he went directly to the Guanlou first.
At such times, it is necessary to take the lead and be unreserved.
Although the Snapdragon Army can do the order and prohibit, it doesn't matter whether Lou Jicheng rushes to kill or not, his addition will undoubtedly boost the morale of the Snapdragon Army and make the fighting spirit stronger.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The Snapdragon Army roared again, and they followed in the footsteps of Lou Jicheng and climbed the ladder to the Guan Tower.
The Snapdragon Army's movements were too fast, and at this time the guards understood, it turned out that the Snapdragon Army still had reservations, and now it was really going all out, but when he understood, Tongguan had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Now the defenders are facing the enemy, not only Yao Ping and his party, who went around the back, but also Lou Jicheng and a group of Snapdragon troops who directly broke through the defenders' defense line and entered the pass.
There is really no way out for the defenders, there is a dead end in front, and there is still a dead end in the back.
Thinking of this, the guard general couldn't help but be distracted.
originally thought that he was sitting in Tongguan, and he must be as stable as Mount Tai, but the reality is so cruel, it has only been such a short time, and before Luoyang and Daxing can react, Tongguan is already in danger.
Regardless of the root cause of this battle, the ultimate blame lies with the defenders. After all, it was Tongguan where he was stationed, and Tongguan also fell in his hands. The responsibility for failure requires a backstabber.
It was at this moment of stunned that Yao Ping seized the opportunity, and the spear in his hand suddenly stabbed out, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The guard was caught off guard and was stabbed in the chest by Yao Ping, resulting in his life.
Yao Ping pulled out the spear, blood spilled all over the sky, and the guard's body slowly fell, his eyes were full of unwillingness, but he was powerless to change the result.
From the beginning to the end, the guard never thought of abandoning the pass and running away, he had done his best. As for the result or something, it was something that Li Yuan and the others considered, and it had nothing to do with him.
The defender died, and the rest of the defenders panicked.
Even the main general is gone, how can they resist the enemy army.
If you continue to resist stubbornly, it is just a gift to the Snapdragon Army.
Lou Jicheng had already killed the Guan Tower, the spear swept out angrily, and the surrounding enemy troops were repulsed, and when he saw Yao Ping kill the defender, he raised his arms and shouted, and the Snapdragon Army swarmed up.
The defenders on the upper floor could hardly resist the might of the Snapdragon Army, and at this moment they had to retreat one after another.
It was at this time that the Snapdragon Army opened the gate and let the Snapdragon Army outside the gate enter the gate.
Those defenders have only three possibilities at the moment, either surrender, fight to the death, or run away.
A considerable number of defenders chose to run away, a small number chose to surrender, and very few chose to fight to the death with the Snapdragon army.
On the one hand, the combat power of the Snapdragon Army is really strong, and on the other hand, they have no one to command, they are just a mess of sand, how can they organize an effective attack?
General Yao Ping led the Snapdragon Army to break through Tongguan, and they did not delay, and immediately sent someone to Luoyang to deliver the news.
I'm afraid that now Li Shimin never thought that the Tongguan Pass, which they thought was unbreakable, was easily taken by the Snapdragon Army, and now Daxing is in front of the coalition army.
After doing this, the second general Yao Ping stabilized the situation in Guanzhong and waited for Luo Cheng's army to arrive.
Without the resistance of Tongguan, Daxing will go to a flat river, and there is no natural danger to hold onto.
This is something that Li Shimin and Li Jing never thought of, and it is even more unimaginable that Li Yuan did not dare to imagine.
My last barrier is gone, it's too funny!
……
The Snapdragon Army rode at a gallop, in order to let Luo Cheng know the news as soon as possible and be able to take the initiative in advance.
After a few days, the Snapdragon Army finally sent the news to the coalition military camp outside Luoyang City.
Not to mention that after Luo Cheng arrived in Luoyang, he often sent troops to attack Luoyang, making it difficult for Li Shimin and others to live in peace, so they could only resist with all their might, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
When Luo Cheng heard the news, he immediately smiled, Yao Ping and others did this matter too beautifully, although it was still in his expectations, but it also gave him a lot of surprises.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Cheng asked again: "The Snapdragon Army has made great contributions to the capture of Tongguan in this battle, but Tongguan is heavily defended, and the Snapdragon Army has suffered too many casualties. ”
Although the number of Snapdragon troops is increasing now, it is still Luo Cheng's baby, and the casualties have already distressed him, and if there are too many casualties in a Tongguan, it will be even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Snapdragon Army who came to report the news was still calm, and arched his hand to Luo Cheng and said: "Qi Qi Shizi, there are nearly 100 people injured in this battle, but the Snapdragon Army is only 100 killed. ”
Luo Cheng was suddenly a little helpless, even if the Snapdragon Army was strong, but in such a big battle, casualties were still inevitable. The loss of hundreds of Snapdragon troops at once is not too much!
But the reality is like this, how can there be a reason for immortality to attack the level?
In fact, most of the Snapdragon troops who died in battle had accidents during the attack.
The Snapdragon army led by Yao Ping, except for some injuries, did not have many casualties.
With more than 100 Snapdragon troops in exchange for a Tongguan, it is not a loss.
Fortunately, the Snapdragon Army can be replenished, as long as the quota is here, the number of people is not a problem. It's a big deal to return to Beiping, just train another soldier and replenish it to the Snapdragon Army.
But Li Yuan made Luo Cheng lose so much of the Snapdragon Army, how could he not pay the price?
What he is about to face is Luo Cheng's strong attack.
