Chapter 413: Impressive
Those Yizhou soldiers who were about to climb the city wall of Tongguan were extremely excited in their hearts at this time. As long as you can win Tongguan, are you still worried about being promoted and making a fortune?
It's just that after they really climbed Tongguan, they realized how ridiculous their previous thoughts were.
The soldiers of the three thousand imperial court troops had already prepared their swords and guns. Moreover, on the wall, the piles of sasswood and rolling stones, as well as the bundles of arrows placed behind the defenders of Tongguan, also made those soldiers of the Yizhou army understand: they have been tricked.
It's just that at this time, they have no way to go back. On top of each ladder, there are soldiers who have climbed the Yizhou Army.
When they charged before, they were not hindered, which made them mistakenly think that Tongguan had no defensive strength. In that case, if you don't hurry up and rush into Tongguan to snatch military merits, then what are you waiting for?
Above Tongguan, the three thousand imperial court soldiers are all elite, and their opponents are just the old and weak of the Yizhou army. Of course, the old and weak do not really mean that they are the old and the weak, and this qiē is just relative.
The ladders of the Yizhou army are limited, and whenever the soldiers of the Yizhou army climb the wall of Tongguan, they are greeted by small defensive battle formations.
Don't kill the Yizhou army before they climb the wall, this is the order given by Ye Mo.
Therefore, although the battle above Tongguan was extremely fierce, Ma Chao looked up from under Tongguan, but he could only see a few soldiers of the Yizhou Army occasionally falling from the city wall.
This little loss of soldiers, where will Ma Chao pay attention to it. As long as Tongguan can be taken, not to mention the death of more than a dozen or dozens of soldiers, even if all the 3,000 soldiers sent out are dead. That's worth it, too.
Ma Chao looked at it energetically, but Guo Jia felt even more wrong.
If the battle was really as calm as it seemed, why did soldiers fall from time to time at this time, just like at the beginning of the battle?
At this time, look at the Yizhou soldiers under Tongguan, they are crowded under the wall. Just waiting to rely on the ladder to climb up Tongguan. It's just that there are not many ladders, only about a dozen. At this time, the Yizhou soldiers were still crowding and scrambling, which slowed down the speed of the Yizhou army's soldiers attacking the city.
Ma Chao just watched the soldiers of the Yizhou army rush to the Tongguan Pass with almost no obstacles, and even planned to discharge another 2,000 soldiers with a wave of his hand.
However, fortunately, Guo Jia stopped Ma Chao's order in time. At present, the soldiers under the wall of Tongguan are already a little crowded, so if you send another 2,000 people. Waiting in line?
What Ma Chao and Guo Jia were thinking at this time, Ye Mo didn't know, and he didn't want to know. He only knew that the 3,000 soldiers sent by the Yizhou army were just bait. It's still not the kind that is hooked by a fishhook.
It's just, how can 3,000 soldiers be enough?
"Pass the order to go down, let the soldiers guarding the cloud ladder take three steps back, and leave some space for those Yizhou Army soldiers." At this time, if Ye Mo didn't order the soldiers to step back, then the little space they had vacated would be full of the corpses of the Yizhou soldiers.
Got Ye Mo's order. After the soldiers on the wall pushed back a little, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army rushed up at a much faster speed.
It's just that more Yizhou sergeants rushed up. It's just a matter of leaving more corpses behind.
Even, some soldiers of the Yizhou Army had to turn around and escape from the wall after they found that the reality was very different from what they imagined.
However, the Yizhou soldiers under the wall were constantly climbing towards the wall, which made the soldiers of the Yizhou army crowded. I can't use my hands and feet. In this way, it can only facilitate the slaughter of the Yizhou soldiers by the imperial army.
That's right. It's slaughter!
The 3,000 elites of the imperial court above Tongguan have only killed more than a dozen people until now. Less than a hundred people were injured. The Yizhou sergeant has already died more than 700 people.
Such a large proportion of deaths is simply terrifying in the era of cold weapons.
Under Tongguan, those soldiers of the Yizhou Army didn't know what the result was waiting for them, anyway, at this time, they only knew that as long as they took Tongguan, then they could no longer be soldiers, but go home to buy a few acres of land.
On top of Tongguan, Lu Yi, Xu Rong and others had not yet moved, but just stood aside and watched their soldiers slaughter the Yizhou soldiers who climbed the city wall.
"The lord's shot is really extraordinary, if we could think of such a way at the beginning, we wouldn't have to lose so many brothers." Ko Yi looked at the court soldiers who were killing in front of him, and couldn't help but say with emotion.
Most of these soldiers are elite soldiers sent by Hangu Pass. However, Tongguan is the first line of defense of the imperial court in the direction of Xiliang, and the elite of the soldiers will naturally not be inferior to the soldiers of Hangu Pass.
It's just that the soldiers of Tongguan with Koyi only knew how to defend the city with one force, and Fa Zheng was not a strategist who was good at defending the city.
Therefore, although in the previous offensive and defensive battles, the death ratio of the defenders of Tongguan and the soldiers of Yizhou was not much different from this one, but the consumption of resources and the proportion of casualties among the soldiers were too different.
Fa Zheng heard what Lu Yi said, and also secretly glanced at Ye Mo. It was really hard for him to imagine that he could still defend the city like this. "The lord is wise, and the law is ashamed of himself."
After hearing what Fa Zheng said, Dian Wei smiled "haha", and immediately hugged Fa Zheng who was standing beside him with his ape arm, and said: "Don't be angry with filial piety, the lord is scheming and decisive, naturally not comparable to those of us." However, as long as filial piety always follows the lord, there will always be progress. ”
Although Fa Zheng said that he was also rough and martial, he was hugged by Dian Wei, and the bones on his body were almost not broken. It's just that Fa Zheng couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only keep rolling his eyes at Dian Wei.
Xu Rong, who was on the side, after hearing Dian Wei's words again, joked to Dian Wei: "General Dian can't enter at this time, and he will chew the words." ”
Xu Rong's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from Liyi and the others.
But in this regard, Dian Wei did not twist, and directly took Xu Rong's joke as a compliment to himself. "That is, I tell you, as long as you follow the lord, and the lord teaches you a hand casually, it will be enough for you to use for a lifetime."
"No wonder, I haven't seen General Dian so knowledgeable before, but now he has to be treated differently." After Fa Zheng listened to Dian Wei's words, he suddenly teased again.
It's just that Fa Zheng's words made Ye Mo's face twitch. If this is in the later generations, the source of "Shibei three days, should be impressed", should not become Dian Wei.
Under Tongguan, Ma Chao saw that more than 1,000 people rushed up, but there was still no major movement in Tongguan, and he was immediately impatient. "Pass my order and send another 5,000 soldiers out of battle!"
In a fit of anger, Ma Chao directly sent 5,000 soldiers to fight, and even sent 1,000 of the 3,000 elites he originally left.
Ye Mo, who was above Tongguan, saw that the Yizhou army was finally dispatched, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid that you will come, but I am afraid that you will run. As long as these Yizhou troops are solved, the rest is not the fish on the fish, let them be slaughtered by themselves! (To be continued)
