Chapter 278

Descending from the heights, their speed became faster and faster, and their momentum became more and more ferocious in the eyes of the Snow Army. Those snow troops who ran up from below, although they were not too strenuous to attack, they were uncomfortable attacking from the bottom up with weapons, and the result was naturally that the night army had the upper hand.

As time passed, more and more night soldiers rushed down the staircase. At this moment, there are the figures of the Night Army on the four stairs.

On the city wall, because the snow army in the city could not support the city again, it turned out that the snow army in the city lost reinforcements, and the morale of the snow army was even more demoralized, and even those hard-fought snow army generals wanted to escape at the moment. The more they fight their own side, the fewer soldiers there are, on the other hand, there are more and more enemy soldiers, and there are night troops everywhere constantly coming up, and the snow army is constantly suffering from psychological shock.

With the increasing number of night army generals and sixth-order martial arts cultivators coming up, some snow army generals can no longer scruple to shoot because there are no snow country soldiers around, but surrounded by many night army generals, they have no strength and can only fall into a bitter battle.

The ground was littered with corpses, and some of the seriously injured and not dead were completely trampled to death. Standing on top of the corpse, the figure of the night army is getting taller and taller, and at this moment the soldiers of both countries below can be seen.

Seeing that the city was almost completely occupied by his own soldiers, Zhao Wu immediately ordered those archers to climb the city.

Meanwhile, the Night Army on all four stairs has pushed the Snow Army to the ground. Originally, there were four battlefields, but now they are mixed into two places, separated from the city gate. From a distance, the number of the Night Army is no less than that of the Snow Army, of course, when the 50,000 troops of the Snow Country have not yet participated in the war.

If Zhang Yuan also ordered support, the Snow Army would quickly gain a numerical advantage, but Zhang Yuan was already frightened by the performance of the Night Army and did not dare to move easily.

It was only a short time since the night army was defeated, and in a blink of an eye, the night army had already hit the city, and Zhang Yuan also noticed that the city was already full of enemy troops, and countless night troops were coming down from the city.

In fact, Zhang Yuanyi's failure to order reinforcements until now is related to his own earlier plans, Zhang Yuan also wanted to keep the archers and cavalry until the cavalry of the night army attacked the city, and gave them a blow to the head, so as to weaken the momentum of the night army, but now it seems that Zhang Yuan also feels as if he has to change his original plan.

"Marshal, if you don't go over to support, the enemy will come over?" A general couldn't wait for a long time, and said directly to Zhang Yuanyi: "The morale of our army is too low, if there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that no matter how many people there are, it will not be enough for the enemy to slaughter." ”

Whether it is strength or momentum, in short, many generals of the Snow Army can see that it is difficult to stop the offensive of the night army by relying on the 50,000 troops in front, especially since there are so many night troops who are about to join the battle, if they don't go over to reinforce again, I am afraid that the soldiers who are fighting will die in battle.

Hearing the voice of the general next to him, Zhang Yuan also recovered from the chaotic fierce battle, looked at the battle between the two armies again, and then looked up at the city.

There were figures flickering at the position of the battlements of the long city wall, and soldiers stood at the positions of the battlements, very neatly. The flags of the two countries on the city walls fell and were replaced by the flags of the night army. It was clear that the city had been taken over by the Night Army.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan also saw those night soldiers standing at the battlements aiming their bows and arrows at their army, although the nearest night army had a stone's throw away from their army, but those archers could already attack the snow army under the city. Fortunately, the two sides are fighting at the moment, and the bows and arrows of the night army will not attack.

In Zhang Yuanyi's sight, there were more and more archers in the city, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached the level of one step at a time. Although those archers are not yet able to attack, the presence of those archers will have an impact on the morale of your own soldiers.

Without further ado, regardless of whether or not the correct countermeasures were taken into account, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered the whole army to attack. The drummers on both sides of the chariot beat the war drums, and the drums spread outside the city, and Zhang Yuan also wanted to use this to boost the morale of the army.

On the other side, seeing that the city had been replaced with his own banner, Zhao Wu knew that the battle in the city was coming to an end, and now the sound of drums from the city meant that the battle between the two armies was in the final stage. By now, all the infantry had passed, and there were only those soldiers on both sides behind Zhao Wu who were quietly waiting for the cavalry camp, and now they were just waiting to break through the city gates.

Regarding the situation in the city, there have always been people who report relevant news, so Zhao Wu knows the situation in the city at this moment. So far, their night army has sacrificed 20,000 or 30,000 people, and such casualties cannot be said to be insignificant, and they have already had a great impact on the overall strength of the infantry battalion. Even though the number of infantry in the city was now comparable to the total number of the Snow Army, and there were so many archers coming to support, Zhao Wu still couldn't rest assured.

The momentum of the snow army was not low before, if the momentum of the snow army could not be smashed in one fell swoop, the next battle situation would evolve into a kind of life-and-death duel, even if the night army won in the end, but Zhao Wu did not want to accept the result of too many casualties, so he must crush the momentum of the enemy army as soon as possible.

In addition, according to the information reported by the herald, Zhao Wu knew that the momentum of the night army was steadily improving, and its combat power was getting stronger and stronger. On the other hand, the Snow Army acted entirely as a defensive side, and was very passive in response to the Night Army's offensive.

The current situation sounded like the Night Army had the upper hand, but in Zhao Wu's opinion, it was far from enough. While the general beside him listened to the good news reported by the herald with joy on his face, Zhao Wu frowned, his eyes staring straight at the location of the city gate in front of them.

The original gate had been torn down by the soldiers, and now only the back of the gate was shielded like a wall, with light above and on both sides, and only on the ground below. The personnel responsible for pushing the siege engine over there have changed several batches, and now the people pushing the siege engine are sweating profusely.

It cannot be said that the shape of the wall behind the city gate is too heavy, but many of the iron pillars used to hold the wall in place are deeply embedded in the ground and cannot be broken, which is why it takes so much time. During the ramming of the city gate with siege vehicles, even those generals joined the camp, leaving only Zhao Xu to command.

Now the drums in the city are agitated, Zhao Xu can hear it clearly, but in a hurry, Zhao Xu got off the horse directly, ran to the siege vehicle, and pushed the car with the original personnel.

There was a sound of "clang", and several iron pillars that were originally shielded may have been tilted to a certain extent, and the resistance to the wall was weakened, so that everyone suddenly pushed the wall-like obstacle backwards by one meter.

Seeing the siege vehicle moving forward, the faces of the people who were in pain appeared with joy one after another.

"Come again," Zhao Xu hurriedly beckoned the others to do it.

"One, two, three," dozens of people joined forces and there was another bang, a large piece of bright light spilled in, and the siege vehicle once again advanced sharply.

On the chariot, Zhao Wu, who had been paying attention to the situation at the city gate, first heard a different impact sound from before, and then a bright light appeared in front of him. Without thinking too much, Zhao Wu knew that it was caused by the movement of obstacles behind the city gate, and it was obvious that the siege vehicle had already played a role.

As Wu continued to pay attention, the bright light leaking through the original obstacle became stronger and stronger, and a smile finally appeared on Zhao Wu's face.

"Okay," the generals next to Zhao Wu also found out about the situation at the city gate, and the people who had long felt that they had won couldn't help but applaud at this moment.

"The cavalry camp is ready to attack," Immediately after, Zhao Wu, whose face calmed down, directly conveyed a military order.

"The last general commands," more than a dozen cavalry battalion generals commanded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, the generals who had been ready to move for a long time raised their weapons one by one excitedly, waiting for Zhao Xu to completely break through the city gate.

The drummers next to the chariot began to move again after receiving the instructions, and a series of neat drums sounded, and at this moment, Zhao Xu had already pushed the siege cart completely into the city gate with everyone. The obstacle behind the city gate was pushed out a few meters away, and according to Zhao Xu's instructions, as long as the siege engine was pushed three meters away from the city gate, the army behind them could come over and attack.

The whole process didn't take long, on the other side, the snow army, Zhang Yuanyi had just given the order to attack, and the iron pillars at the city gate were broken, followed by the huge obstacles that were originally used to block the city gate, and they retreated again and again, until Zhang Yuanyi and those snow soldiers realized that the city gate was broken.

The generals, who were about to lead troops to support, stopped their movements and stopped in place one by one, not knowing what to do. Judging by the shocked eyes of the generals, they seemed to be waiting for something, or waiting for the obstacle to stop moving, or there was a terrifying shout of killing from behind the obstacle.

With the last loud bang, the huge obstacle finally stopped moving, and Zhao Xu also pulled back to the war horse when the siege vehicle was completely withdrawn outside the city.

"Kill," when Zhao Xu sat on horseback, more than a dozen generals next to Zhao Wu shouted almost simultaneously, and then each rushed forward with a weapon in a fierce manner.

"Charge," shouted the cavalrymen who had been waiting the longest almost roaringly, and rushed forward in unison under the leadership of a general.

In front of the city gate, Zhao Xu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, waited for the soldiers and horses behind him to come, as one of the three main generals of the cavalry battalion, how could the next battle be less than Zhao Xu himself.

The shouting and killing sound like a heat wave behind him did not make Zhao Xu feel the slightest discomfort, but the blood in Zhao Xu's body couldn't stop boiling.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan and the other generals in the city finally waited for the sound they had been waiting for and the last thing they wanted to wait for came. As a result, they could no longer support the snow army on both sides of the city gate.

"Marshal, what should I do?" Several generals asked Zhang Yuanyi one after another, but what could Zhang Yuanyi do at this moment, before the night army not only attacked the city beyond expectations, but now even the city gate has been broken, and the only thing they can do is to fight.
