Chapter 66: The Decisive Battle at the Gate of Heaven (Part II)
The march in the gate of heaven is not better than other places, due to space constraints, the army moves very slowly, in this regard, the happiest is the infantry, galloping for most of the day, and the physical strength consumed is slowly replenished!
Of course, Ba Wuji's anxiety is also very obvious, urging the march from time to time.
Finally, after a long period of several hours, the exit was in sight.
However, instead of the familiar flat avenue, there was a bunch of obstacles.
The obstacles are placed very elongated, about 30 meters, and almost every inch of the entire exit is filled.
The most worrying thing for Ba Wuji was the Xincheng soldiers who were waiting in front of him, and because his vision was blocked, he could not accurately judge the strength and distribution of the enemy army.
"Patriarch, Heimu Cliff is afraid that it will be broken by Ye Gucheng's army, and it is better for our army to find another way out. ”
"I don't think so, if the Black Wood Cliff is captured by the enemy, what we are facing at this moment must be Ye Gucheng's army, and the subordinates watching the enemy's layout like this should prevent our army from rushing to the aid of the Black Wood Cliff. ”
"Yes! Whenever the two armies face each other, they must see the commander, and their subordinates will watch for a long time, and there is no trace of Ye Gucheng in the enemy army. ”
Compared with the former, Ba Wuji is more inclined to the latter, obviously, there must be enemy troops in the army, otherwise, how can the enemy know his whereabouts, but now there is no time to take care of anything else, and the top priority is to break through as soon as possible. With a wave of his hand, he said in a deep voice: "The infantry stepped forward." ”
For a while, the Montenegrin cavalry quickly retreated to make way for a passage, and the archers and infantry in the rear quickly stepped forward, but the position was awkward, outside the firing range, and the archers could not suppress the fire in a short time, so they could only wait for the infantry to move away from the obstacles.
Xuanyuan Feiyan saw that the enemy army was moving, slowly raised the guard, and shouted: "Archer, prepare!"
The archers of the first row quickly squatted down to facilitate the archers of the second row to shoot standing up. The back rows are on standby to fill the front two rows, shooting in turns in a loop.
This is the latest shooting method arranged by Ye Gucheng, which can effectively use the limited space for gapless shooting, and also greatly reduce the physical consumption of the archer, although the range and accuracy are not as good as the conventional shooting method, but in the face of a small space, it can almost be said that there is no need to aim.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With an order, a dense rain of arrows struck the Montenegrin soldiers who were carrying the obstacles.
Amid the screams, most of the Montenegrin soldiers were killed by arrows before they could lift the obstacles.
"Second team, on. Ba Wuji had a cold face, and with a wave of his hand, the infantry quickly stepped forward to compensate for the gap in front.
"Third team, on. ”
"Fourth team, on. ”
"Fifth team, up. ”
。。。。。。
The generals began to go from anger to numbness, although the obstacles were removed by nearly five meters, the price paid was thousands of elites, and, because of the limited space, the removed obstacles could only be placed on both sides, plus the newly added corpses also needed to be removed, the physical consumption of the infantry was extremely serious, although the archers could also join the suppression, but unfortunately due to the limited space, the firepower could not be used optimally, and they could only struggle in vain.
Casualties, starting to multiply!
This is the most humiliating battle the Montenegrin has ever fought, and their own side has suffered heavy casualties without even touching a single hair of the enemy!
But they can only endure it, even if their fists explode and their nails dig deep into their flesh, they can only endure it!
Four meters!
Three meters!
Two meters!
One meter!
In the face of the dense rain of arrows, the Black Mountain infantry was no longer able to advance, so they could only send people to the head endlessly!
"Cavalry ready. ”
The cavalry of the Montenegrin clan covered the horse's eyes with strips of cloth, and in the last meter, Ba Wuji decided to use the cavalry to force it open.
Frankly speaking, it was not appropriate to use cavalry to break through at this time, first, the passage was not spacious and could not accommodate a large-scale impact, and second, there were too many corpses along the way, and the road was not smooth! Unfortunately, they had no choice!
"Attack!"
At the sound of the order, the cavalry's face was full of sorrow, the whip of the horse was waved heavily, and the war horse galloped forward.
The roar was mixed with the cracking of bones, and the whistling of sharp arrows blended with the screams of falling horses.
Although the cavalry died, the horses still galloped instinctively, until they slammed into the horses, allowing the sharp wooden thorns to pierce their bodies, and then more horses continued to crash like moths to fire.
The sky was filled with angry roars and the desperate screams of the horses before they died.
Ye Gucheng silently watched all this directed by himself, and suddenly felt that he was the real devil!
Drive the dog into the poor alley and kill them all!
Could it be that this is the peace I want?
I don't know why, he suddenly felt so cold, there was a chilling fear, and he even saw those dead war horses, those godless eyes were glaring at him.
Inside the Gate of Heaven.
Ba Wuji stared blankly at the mountain of corpses crowded at the exit, and finally realized that the cavalry breakthrough was the most wrong tactic!
The removal of the carcasses of the horses was obviously more difficult, and besides, his soldiers and horses were almost exhausted!
Soon, a cavalryman came to report with a sad face, and the retreat was completely blocked!
At this point, Ba Wuji finally knew that the Xincheng army did not want to stop them from rushing, but wanted to annihilate them all!
Dogs can jump off the wall in a hurry, let alone live people!
Faced with a desperate situation, discipline began to be forgotten, and every Montenegrin soldier roared and rushed to the exit, stepping on the blood and water, climbing the mountains of corpses, facing the rain of arrows, and rushing forward desperately.
Soon, the obstacle was covered with corpses, and a flat mountain of corpses paved towards the exit, and on top of the corpse mountain, the Black Mountain soldiers kept pouring out.
Hand-to-hand combat, the curtain opens!
The infantry quickly took the place of the archers and formed phalanxes.
The Black Mountain soldiers, who had lost their minds, seemed to have found an outlet and rushed towards the enemy in a continuous manner.
The clashing of iron tools, the explosion of sharp weapons chopping bones, and the undulating screams resounded through the valley.
This is the most primitive and bloody fight, without a trace of hesitation, fight for your life!
The Red Blood Guard is worthy of being the most elite warrior of the Black Mountain Clan, and under the leadership of Ba Wuji, he is like a bamboo, and he actually tore through the defense line.
Xuanyuan did not regret staring coldly at the rushing Black Mountain soldiers who broke through the first line of defense, and roared: "Shield!"
"Roar!"
The shields of the Xuanyuan warriors were flushed forward, their spears exposed, and their eyes flashed with fiery battle intent.
Ba Wuji's heart froze slightly, and he strongly sensed an unusual aura of slaughter.
Finally, the movement and the stillness collided rapidly, like a torrent hitting the wall, and instead of setting off a wave, it was forced to bounce back.
The shield is against the collision, the spear is habitual, it is the consistent combat style of the Xuanyuan Iron Cavalry, this is a fight of pure strength, even the powerful Red Blood Guard, can not break through this line of defense, and they all screamed to death.
However, what frightened the Black Mountain soldiers the most were the warriors who rushed out from both sides of the shield array, those tall and fierce warriors who exuded the aura of beasts, and their swords were deadly, forcing the Red Blood Guards to retreat again and again, and they suffered heavy casualties.
Harvesting on both sides, advancing in shield formations, and archers shooting lone targets from time to time, the Xuanyuan warriors successfully forced back the Montenegrin soldiers who had broken through the previous line of defense.
Seeing this, and then seeing the enemy troops all over the mountains, Ba Wuji knew that there was no way out, and roared angrily, rushing towards a berserker not far away.
In the face of the attacking machete, the berserker did not dodge or dodge, and raised the knife upward, as if fighting for his life.
Ba Wuji was also furious, and he didn't even dodge, and slashed straight down.
Burst!
Blood splattered, and a bloody mouth immediately appeared on both sides.
Ba Wuji endured the severe pain, facing the machete that was chopping, and the backhand was another knife.
Once again, the machetes of both sides slashed through each other.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them slashed each other more than a dozen times, becoming two bloody people!
Finally, the berserker was exhausted and fell first, and then, Ba Wuji's eyes went black and he forcibly supported his body with a knife.
Unexpectedly! I Ba Wuji actually died at the hands of a nobody! I am not reconciled! I am really unwilling!
Under the grief and indignation, Ba Wuji raised his head to the sky and roared, and soon, his head was separated from his body.
"Patriarch!"
The Crimson Guards watched as Ba Wuji was beheaded by the berserkers, roaring and charging towards the oppressive army.
Whether it's revenge or honor, when the spiritual leader of the Red Blood Guard is gone, the Red Blood Guard loses the meaning of survival.
Ye Gucheng's hand was held very tightly, and finally, with a solemn expression, he said in a deep voice: "Order, those who descend will not be killed!"
The herald couldn't help but be stunned.
"Need I repeat it again?"
"Yes!" the herald hurried away.
"The city lord ordered, those who descended will not be killed!"
When Ye Gucheng's military order spread throughout the army, the soldiers were boiling again!
If the affiliated tribes don't kill, they may be relieved, but if the Montenegrin people don't kill, they can't understand.
Zhang Yueli stared coldly at Ye Gucheng, who came on horseback, and said angrily: "City Lord, I need an explanation. ”
Ye Gucheng ignored the dissatisfaction of the congregation generals, and slowly moved forward, looking deeply at the frightened Black Mountain soldiers who were cowering at the gate of heaven. "Ba Wuji is dead, put down his weapon, and he is not to blame for the past. ”
The soldiers of the Black Mountain Clan couldn't help but look at each other, but none of them put down their weapons, as if they were considering the credibility of Ye Gucheng's words.
"Lord of the city, the Montenegrin people can't let it go. Xuanyuan did not regret that he respected the person in front of him very much, but he could not accept to let the enemy go like this.
"Please think twice, the city lord. ”
Tens of thousands of Xincheng soldiers shouted in unison.
Ye Gucheng knew that the release of the Black Mountain Clansmen would make the generals dissatisfied, but he didn't expect the reaction of the entire army to be so fierce.
"Ye Gucheng, you have to think clearly, the Black Mountain people are murderous, and there are many victims in every family of the soldiers in the army, if you really let them go, it will definitely make the soldiers dissatisfied. Could it be that this is what you want?" Zhang Yueli didn't want her sweetheart to do something stupid, so she couldn't help but whisper again.
Ye Gucheng didn't know! But he really couldn't be indifferent, in the final analysis, the people who lived in this land were involuntarily, but they were forced by the environment!
Most importantly, he is afraid that he will also lose his humanity! He just wants to keep the last bottom line!
