Chapter 132 [Bloody Battle at Ligu Pass]
At dusk, between heaven and earth, it was even more full of murderous atmosphere.
The defenders of Ligu Pass had already heard the low sound of a horn coming from the side of the Shijia Army, and the sound of the horn was like a death note filled between heaven and earth, indicating the impending ** and death.
Ye Tianya solemnly ordered the defenders to prepare for battle, and the wall was densely packed with human heads.
He not only has confidence in the strong Ligu Pass, but also has full confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Ye family's army, for so many years, Bozhou County has been fully equipped for war, whether it is personnel or equipment, the best configuration has been carried out, the Ye family is very confident, their army combat effectiveness, absolutely no less than any family in the Yan Kingdom.
But they didn't dare to underestimate the fighting power of the family army too much.
In terms of the Han family and the Xiao family alone, their armies also have extremely strong combat effectiveness, especially the Han family's Donghai County, where the people are the strongest in the entire Yan country, and their temperament is also the wildest.
In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Eastern Yan country, there was no shortage of counterinsurgency and bandits to defend against foreign enemies, but the large-scale war of the family was the first time, and the accumulation of the Ye and Wu families for a hundred years finally reached the moment to compete with other families in the entire Yan country.
The "leaf" flag fluttered in the wind, and their ultimate goal was to plant the flag on the golden palace of Yanjing.
In the low sound of the horn, in the vast heaven and earth, the team of the family army moved densely towards the side of Ligu Pass, and the image of Chu was very clear, it was an extremely large army, the spear pointed high to the sky, the spear head like a forest, flashing with a scorching cold light, in the front, was a group of archers, behind him were swords and spearmen, mixed with siege troops and ladders, neatly aligned, and awe-inspiring.
The horses neighed, Jin Ge slammed, and the heavens and the earth were instantly filled with a breathless murderous aura.
This huge army is moving fast.
The huge momentum of the family army and the movement of the ground and mountains shaking when advancing made the defenders at the head of the wall feel a little surprised, the entire Ligu Pass was still in full swing before, and in an instant, there was no trace of breath, and all the people held their breath, waiting for the coming of the big war.
Heaven and earth seem to have frozen!
The sky was already dark, and the arrival of the family army, the black oppression, made the whole world appear even darker, and the Ye family soldiers on the pass still tried their best to maintain their composure.
"Arrow on the wind!" Ye Tianya said loudly and raised his sword: "Wait for the enemy army to rush closer, listen to my orders, ten thousand arrows!" ”
The longbow and arrow, the crossbow was ready, the defenders held their breath, and watched as the family army began to rush towards this side like a tide, all waiting for Ye Tianya's order, they wanted to use the arrows in their hands to shock their enemies.
Han Xuanchang raised his sword and shouted: "The rebels are ahead, the whole army listens to the order, and storms Ligu Pass, whoever is the first to attack the city, will be promoted to three levels in a row, and will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, brothers, rush!" ”
"Brethren!" The generals of the Xiao family also shouted: "Go all out, take Ligu Pass, and rush me!" ”
The bow and arrow troops of the family army rushed to the front, they bent their bows, set their arrows, pulled the strings, let go, and the feathered arrows shot at the head of the city like an overwhelming rain of arrows.
Ye Tianya's sword waved: "Shoot!" ”
As a result, Ye Jiajun's feather arrows suddenly fell like a rain of arrows, and the more powerful crossbow also shot out one after another deadly arrows.
The rain of arrows was mixed with creepy screams.
The war began suddenly, and suddenly many soldiers on both sides had the illusion that this was really a war?
But blood and death soon made both sides understand that the war under the shadow of death began like a splashing wave!
In the array of archers of the family army, people fell from time to time, and on the pass, accompanied by terrible screams, from time to time, people fell from the high city head with arrows and fell to pieces under the city wall.
The fire of hell is burning.
The rain of arrows in the sky is coming and going, and the soldiers on both sides have obviously been mentally prepared for a long time, attacking and killing each other with arrows, before the big battle, everyone was a little nervous, but they really fought, and they did not flinch and retreat.
In the rain of arrows, the family army slowly approached Ligu Pass.
The soldiers of the Xiao and Han families have been ordered to go all out to tackle the key problems and show the courage of the family, so they are all rushing forward without fear of death, and they all want to plant the family's banner on the pass to show the strength of the family.
The drums rumbled, and the dozens of big drums of the family army were beaten like thunder.
Above the pass, the soldiers of the family who had begun to smash the soldiers of the family who were rushing to the pass with huge stones and logs, and the catapults of the family army had also set up a formation, and the slingers put large stones into the frame of the catapults, and in the roar, they smashed towards the very strong gate of the city.
Like a rain of arrows like flying locusts, shooting down from the city, the soldiers of the family army held their shields high, but in the dense rain of arrows, the slightest gap may be shot through the body by sharp arrows.
And the boulder thrown by the catapult, mixed with the sound of whirring wind, whistled and smashed on the gate, and the unlucky defenders were about to be smashed to pieces by the boulder.
Close and close, are already full of corpses, the soldiers on both sides fought to the death before their deaths, but after death, many corpses are entangled together, and the souls go to Huangquan together.
The battle continues, but the sky is already dark, which puts the soldiers on both sides into a more dangerous situation, in the darkness, you can't figure out when the arrows from the other side will appear, maybe one second you are still shouting hoarsely, but the next second, there may be an unexpected feather arrow piercing your neck.
The soldiers on both sides were shocked by the ferocity of the other.
The defenders are desperate to defend Ligu Pass, they know that for Bozhou County, Li Gu Pass may be the only checkpoint that can stop the advance of the Zhushi army, once Ligu Pass is forced, behind it is the land of Pingchuan, where their parents and brothers and sisters live, and it is likely to face extinction at that time.
The air was filled with a strong ** smell that made people vomit.
The Saga army suffered heavy losses, and under the stubborn protection of the defenders, the Tiger Head Hammer rushed to the gate at all, let alone rammed the gate.
Seeing his soldiers fall in pieces, Han Xuanchang's heart was like a knife, and Xiao Huaijin, who was sitting in the rear, was also in pain.
"Lingzhi, it's not okay to fight like this." Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but said: "Hurry up and Mingjin withdraw the troops, if we continue to fight, our people will all die in the lockdown." ”
Xiao Lingzhi is like a lily in the wind, looking at the fierce battle situation in Ligu Pass.
Although she knew that war was a cruel thing, but looking at the fierce scene and listening to the terrible howls, she realized that the real war was more cruel and more ** than she imagined.
"Mingjin retreats!" Xiao Lingzhi finally said.
"Hurry!" Xiao Huaijin hurriedly ordered: "Pass the order, Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”
……
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Huaijin sat on the big chair with a bitter face, looking very bitter, while Xiao Lingzhi sat aside, her beautiful face was also a little haggard, she frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
Ximen Leizang and Su Guanya did not gloat because of the large number of losses of the Han Xiao family, the battle situation was unfavorable, and everyone's mood was very depressed.
When Han Xuanchang came in, his brows furrowed: "I've seen the general, the military division!" ”
"Lord Han, please take a seat!" Xiao Huaijin said busily, he naturally saw that the Han family's army attacked desperately this time, and there was no strength left, it was really doing its best.
"Lord Han has worked hard!" Xiao Lingzhi said softly.
Han Xuanchang sat down, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You and I have lost thousands of troops, but they can't even close the door when they rush to the car, their crossbow arrows are really powerful." ”
Xiao Huaijin also said angrily: "I didn't expect that the little Liguguan would be so difficult to beat. Those dogs are offal, if they break through Ligu Pass, none of them will be killed by Lao Tzu. ”
Han Xuanchang sighed: "General, brothers, this Ligu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely strong, according to me, it is not easy to break through it. Today's battle is also in your eyes, the Ye family has made sufficient preparations for this battle, their military strength and equipment are far sufficient, if there is no good way, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer it in ten days and half a month. ”
Su Guanya also frowned and said: "After a long time, once Ligu Pass cannot be taken, the morale of our army will be exhausted, and at that time, it will be very bad." ”
Ximen Leizang pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Why is there no movement on the Elbe River?" The three families over there together have 60,000 people and are fully equipped, and although the Wu family has a favorable location, as far as I know, it is only 30,000 troops, and some of them have to be transferred to guard Lantian City, and there are less than 20,000 people guarding the Elbe River. As long as the battle on the Elbe River side is fought together, with the strength of the three of them, they should be able to deal a heavy blow to the Wu family, and in this way, it must also be able to hit the morale of the Ye family, right? ”
Xiao Huaijin said hatefully: "I have already sent someone to fly the pigeon to pass the book and issued an order, so that they must attack the Wu family's army today, but so far, there has been no military report from there." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the big tent was suddenly very depressing.
The four allied forces of the dignified family have no way to take Ligu Pass, and they lose their troops and generals, and it is really a shame to say it.
Xiao Lingzhi groaned, and suddenly asked, "Han Shibo, where is Han Mo?" ”
"Han Mo?" Han Xuanchang was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said: "I haven't seen him since yesterday evening, and I don't know where he went, it should be in which corner of the barracks, that kid can't sit still and likes to walk around." Yes, the military advisor is looking for him? ”
Xiao Lingzhi frowned slightly.
Han Mo had already sent Han Qing to tell her the code, and she had been sending people to keep an eye on the appearance of the code, but now that it was night, there was still no code, could it be that there should be a change?
This is the greatest hope today, but it is really unknown whether this hope can become a reality and whether it can turn the tide on the entire battlefield.
Xiao Lingzhi's mind remembered Han Mo's handsome face with an evil smile, for some reason, she had some confidence in Han Mo, and she even believed that Han Mo's internal response might really be able to turn the tide of the battle, and a miracle might come soon.
