Chapter 239

In the hall above them, Zhao Wu felt the tremor under his feet while thinking about the current situation. The siege efficiency of the Snow Army exceeded expectations, and the casualties of the defenders also exceeded expectations, but the casualties of the Snow Army did not meet expectations.

The original plan was therefore problematic, and Zhao Wu needed to make some adjustments, and the specific change plan had to be drawn up before the city gate was breached.

At present, the morale of the snow army is getting higher and higher, because every soldier knows that his own number is far outnumbered by the defenders, and Zhao Wu knows very well that if he lets more than 100,000 snow troops rush to the city, then Huangyan Pass can only be abandoned. Of course, that step cannot be taken until then, so the original plan to deal with the current situation must be implemented, and it must be implemented as soon as possible.

The plan of letting the snow army suffer a large number of casualties was not all needed to be achieved after discussing with the generals before, and now the important thing was to hold the city pass, Zhao Wu's brows furrowed and loosened, and this was repeated for a long time, until there was a "click", and the city gate below was broken, and Zhao Wu immediately made up his mind with a grim expression.

At this time, a large hole was broken in the city gate below, and the left and right positions of the hole had been cracked. Under the three fierce beasts taking turns, it didn't take long for half of the city gate to be two meters wide completely broken. Through the huge door, people on both sides discovered their existence.

Several siege beasts rushed in directly with some of their personnel to fight with the defenders who were originally holding on to the pillars, and some of the siege troops who followed were responsible for fighting the enemy army, and some of them removed all the pillars against the other door, and then pushed open the other door that was closed together, and the city gate was wide open all of a sudden.

The defenders under the city could not resist and retreated, and the snow army chased after them violently. Seeing that the snow army was about to rush over, Zhao Xu gave an order, "get on the arrow".

Then, from the ranks of many infantrymen, some men with huge bows came out, and arrows as long as spears were aimed at the three fierce beasts.

"Release," Zhao Xu gave another order, and the archers who had been prepared long ago pulled out the long bowstrings, and the long arrows flew out to aim at those fierce beasts and the rushing Snow Country soldiers.

There was a loud sound, and the spear shot out by several people directly broke through the body of the stinger, killing the stinger, and the huge body of the fierce beast rolled towards the defenders' phalanx due to inertia.

"Withdraw," Seeing that the three fierce beasts had been dealt with, Zhao Xu first asked those who used the giant bow to retreat, and then pulled out his long sword and shouted at the enemy in front of him, "Kill." ”

"Kill," instantly resonated, and a thunderous voice instantly spread throughout the defenders' camp. I saw Zhao Xu rushing towards the enemy army first, and several generals behind him followed without fear.

Led by a group of generals, thousands of cavalry rushed out in unison, rushed through the gap between the corpses of the three-headed stabbing beasts, and brandished their weapons to kill the soldiers of the Snow Country.

On the other side, the Snow Country cavalry, which had long been followed, had already rushed over from the rear and went straight to meet the cavalry of the Night Army. Fifty meters from the city gate, the two armies formally clashed. From a distance, the defenders of the Night Country rushed towards the sergeants of the Snow Country in a circle, and the duel between the two armies officially began.

On the castle tower, a soldier hurried to the main hall. "General, there are already 20,000 snow troops crossing the river outside. With a military salute, the soldier immediately reported the news to Zhao Wu.

"Well," Zhao Wu nodded calmly, and then instructed the soldier, "Blow the horn as soon as it reaches 30,000." "The time the defenders are waiting for is coming, and Zhao Wu is going to carry out their original plan.

"Success or failure is in one fell swoop," the military order was conveyed, and Zhao Wu was a lot more relaxed. War is really not as easy as imagined, and some strategies in the war book are not applicable to the battlefield, but there is a sentence that Zhao Wu feels is indeed correct, "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing." ”

The first time to preside over such a large-scale war of resistance, Zhao Wuwei has a deep understanding of this sentence, the duel between the two sides is not only in terms of army strength, but also morale, as well as the right time and place, there are many factors that really determine the success or failure of a battle.

In fact, after all, it was the first time that the armies of both sides had experienced a brutal war, and Zhao Wu could think that many soldiers before could not be called real soldiers. The same is true for Snow Country, except that morale is much higher than that of the Night Army.

By now, Zhao Wu had already understood that the siege strategy of the Snow Country was indeed not bad, and it was no different from when they discussed it, and Zhao Wu wanted to use this to catch the other party off guard.

After the military order was issued, the soldier in charge of the order quickly exited the main hall and returned to the place where he was supposed to stay to continue to pay attention to the situation outside.

Now that Zhao Xu has confronted the enemy army, Zhao Wu only hopes that Zhao Xu will not live up to his expectations.

There were 70,000 defenders in the city, of which more than 20,000 were fighting in the city, and there were 50,000 soldiers guarding the city.

The situation in the city will not change much, everything depends on the performance of the city.

Sitting in the main hall, Zhao Wu waited for the time to come.

"Woo, woo......" A sound of horns was surprisingly remembered in the city, fortunately, Zhao Wu had already told all the soldiers that once they heard the sound of the horn during the battle, they would go all out to meet the enemy, and many defenders did not understand Zhao Wu's intentions, but no one questioned Zhao Wu's order.

Now the horn sounded for no reason, and all the defenders of the Night Kingdom were shocked, and Zhao Xu, who was in the melee, shouted loudly to all the defenders: "Everyone will kill the enemy with blood." A shout seemed to boost morale, and Zhao Xu's actions at the moment were completely in accordance with Zhao Wu's will.

The night army was originally demoralized, but now seeing that their main general had such a clear attitude, they put aside their worries one by one and kept swinging their weapons at the enemy in front of them.

On the other side, the sergeant of Snow Country is a little unclear at the moment, the horn is generally used to indicate what military information has appeared, how can it be used now, and the sound is still coming from the city wall, is there anything new.

For a while, many Snow Country soldiers had some more doubts in their hearts, and even the movements in their hands were affected, and the advantage was tilted towards the night army.

Those unknown generals of the Snow Army also found the situation in front of them, and they were shocked one by one, they really didn't understand why the Night Army blew the horn at this time, it was completely unreasonable, but when they found that their own formation was a little chaotic by the other party's rush to kill, those generals thought that the abnormal behavior of the Night Country was not conducive to their own battle.

Although they didn't know the intentions of the Night Army, after they reacted, they still shouted one after another in the vicinity, "Stay in formation, don't mess with yourself." ”

After repeated reminders, the situation of the game improved, and some of the snow troops gradually realized that the other party was just playing tricks, so they attacked our army more bravely. With morale on both sides strong, the fighting intensified.

Cavalry to cavalry, infantry to infantry, blood splattered everywhere on the battlefield, and the Snow Country army that rushed to the city in a short time had more than 10,000 people. Because of the increase in numbers, the battle line continued to stretch out to both sides, resulting in more and more Snow Country soldiers rushing in.

What Zhao Xu has to do now is to lead his troops to hold the battle line, and not let the enemy break through their formation and disrupt their position. Otherwise, once the defensive line of a certain position is broken through, more and more enemy troops will rush in, and their situation will be more and more unfavorable.

Now Zhao Xu led his troops to surround the Snow Army in a fan-shaped area, but he did not deliberately suppress the enemy's offensive, the battle line moved back slightly, and the Snow Army was still rushing inside. The battle under the city intensified, and at the same time, after a trumpet sound, Zhao Wu's strategy finally began to be implemented.

Under the drawbridge in the moat, several heads slowly floated up from the water, followed by the weapons in their hands appeared on the water, glowing with cold light in the gap between the drawbridge and the river. There was no sound, because the water surface around the suspension bridge was already very bright in the moonlight and firelight, and the appearance of more than a dozen people under the bridge was not noticed by any snow army.

Half of the dozen or so people were generals under Zhao Wu, and half were good players selected from the three armies, and the worst of them were sixth-order martial cultivators. A long time ago, more than a dozen people hid in the water, and they have not been visible until now.

The sound of the horn was a signal to inform them of their actions, and the next thing they had to do was destroy the drawbridge. Like several generals in the Snow Country who cut the iron ropes before, now what they have to do is cut the drawbridge.

The suspension bridge itself is made of wooden planks mixed with iron plates layered on top of each other, and the sturdiness is no worse than that of the city gate, but there are many node positions throughout the suspension bridge where iron plates and planks connected to each other are fixed.

The suspension bridge originally belonged to the Night Army, and more than a dozen people naturally had a full understanding of the suspension bridge. After one of them made the gesture of action, a dozen or so martial cultivators were divided into groups, each group responsible for a node position.

The node position is the key to the suspension bridge, and they are about to destroy the reinforcement position with the sharp weapon in their hands, and then destroy the node. After successfully reaching several of these node locations, needless to say, more than a dozen people picked up their weapons and slashed at the target location.

Even if they don't have anything to step on in the water, their attack power is still not to be underestimated. Strings of sparks flew, and the attacks of a dozen people worked, and scratches appeared in those reinforced positions.

The sound below was loud, but they were not worried about being heard by the people above the suspension bridge, because there was only the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of the snow army running, and the movement of the snow army running over the bridge deck was like rolling thunder to the people under the bridge, and they were all noisy below, not to mention that the sound of their hands would be heard by the people above.
