Chapter 277

When those generals saw Zhao Wu say this, they relaxed one by one, and they did not question Zhao Wu's opinion that the night army would definitely be able to win. On the contrary, the thought that the night army was about to win, and the generals became excited.

"Marshal, when will the sergeants of my cavalry battalion be able to attack?"

"Marshal, when will the sergeants of my arrow battalion be able to attack?"

The two commanders of the cavalry battalion and the arrow battalion asked Zhao Wu for instructions, one after the other. Immediately afterwards, the other generals of the Arrow Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion hurried over one by one after the two of them asked, for fear that Zhao Wu would ignore them when he gave orders.

Now the situation of the night army is just right, it is a good opportunity for them to compete for meritorious service, if they can bring back the head of the enemy generals, it will be a great achievement, these generals naturally do not want to give up the opportunity to win meritorious service after waiting for a long time.

But then again, the two armies were fighting, and those soldiers in the Arrow Battalion were really difficult to use. At this moment, the city gate has not yet been broken, and it is also difficult for the cavalry to play a role. The two generals asked, each feeling that the other was asking strangely, but neither of them meant to laugh at the other.

Regarding when the soldiers of the two battalions will be able to participate in the battle, Zhao Wu has his own considerations. Due to the large number of infantry in the night army and the narrow area of engagement in the city, it would take some time to break the resistance of the enemy army and fight under the city, so Zhao Wu was not in a hurry to send soldiers from the cavalry battalion and soldiers from the arrow battalion to the battle.

"When the city gate is broken, Ben Shuai will naturally notify you," did not give an accurate reply, Zhao Wu replied lightly.

On the other side, those generals thought of the big victory and small victory that Zhao Wu just said, remembered Zhao Wu's explanation to Zhao Xu, and looked at the city gate one after another. The generals all expected Zhao Xu to lead his troops to break through the city gate as soon as possible.

On the snow army's side, after thinking about it in the main hall for a while, Zhang Yuan also continued to order to continuously mobilize troops from the city to resist the attack of the night army. Now the battlefield is too chaotic to count the number of people on both sides, and Zhang Yuan doesn't know how many night troops there are in the city, let alone how many night troops are waiting to come up in the city. Regarding the current situation, the only thing Zhang Yuan knows is that the two sides are fighting.

The chaotic situation was very unfavorable for Zhang Yuan to formulate certain strategies, so at this moment, Zhang Yuan also kept urging those heralds to check the battle situation.

At this moment, Qing Yuan joined the army outside the main hall to pay attention to the battle in the city, the battle was very fierce, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the sound of weapons colliding, so that Qing Yuan joined the army and could no longer stay in the main hall, so he simply retreated to the city with Zhang Yuan. Although they are eighth-order martial cultivators, they are all commanders of the army, so it is inconvenient for them to directly participate in the battle.

When they came to the city, Zhang Yuanyi and Qingyuan joined the army and saw that the four stairs on both sides of the city tower that could go up to the city wall were full of soldiers, and countless snow soldiers were running towards the city from below with weapons.

Above one of the stairs, there was clearly the presence of the Night Army, who was fighting with the Snow Army on the stairs. Next to the stairs was grass, and many soldiers were already standing on the grass to fight.

On the battle line of several meters, the battle was very fierce, the night army was advancing downward, and the snow army was stubbornly resisting upward, but because the snow army was slightly weaker, more and more night troops rushed out from the exit position where the stairs connected to the city wall, and the battle line continued to stretch to both sides.

From a distance, the night army is attacking the snow army with a siege force, those snow army at the beginning with a large number of people, the morale is very strong, but after fighting many snow army, they find that the location is very unfavorable to them, they are below, once someone is killed or injured, they must fall down, so the fallen corpses not only affect their attack.

In addition, sometimes in a panic, many Snow Army will attack the corpses of their own soldiers or Night Army soldiers, and the extra attacks will slow down their reactions, and as a result, they will be more likely to die at the hands of the Night Army, although the Night Army will occasionally attack the corpses of their own or the opposing soldiers, but the situation is much better than that of the Snow Army.

In the eyes of Qing Yuan and Zhang Yuanyi, the night army is constantly pressing forward, and the snow army is constantly retreating, and from a distance, the two can see that the night army is attacking the snow army in an arc encirclement, and the snow army is still in a square formation standing on the stairs, even if those snow troops want to stretch the battle line and disperse to resist enemy attacks from various positions, they will have a feeling of being suppressed.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the Snow Army is getting lower and lower, and it is gradually causing internal chaos. If a person steps on someone next to him or behind him, it may cause several Snow Soldiers to lose their balance, and attack or defend for a short time, bringing a lot of convenience to the Night Army.

On the contrary, the night army that stepped on the corpse all the way down, even if it didn't stand firm, the whole person swooped down, it would only bring a huge impact to the snow army. The commanders of the Snow Army who stood among the ordinary soldiers were in chaos, and one by one they were completely unable to exert their strength, which led to the weaker and weaker resistance of the Snow Army. Under the influence of each other, the night army is advancing the line step by step.

Having said that, in fact, those soldiers who fell had a great adverse impact on the Snow Army during the fall, but after they really fell, the bad impact on the Night Army was even greater, and those who were in a hurry would trip over the corpses under their feet if they were not careful, and it was precisely in order to reduce the possibility of this situation that the Night Army would attack the Snow Army in that way.

Of course, even if there is some impact, the Night Army can still rely on morale to weaken that effect. In the eyes of Zhang Yuanyi and others, the night army's offensive was very fierce, and in a blink of an eye, it had already pushed the battle line down several meters long.

Originally, the total length of the staircase was only a few tens of meters, and if it went down like this, it would not be long before the night army would be able to hit the ground, and many of the generals of the snow army were terrified by this.

At the same time, a similar situation occurred on the other staircase, and countless night soldiers rushed down from the staircase, constantly attacking the snow army guarding the staircase.

"Marshal, what should I do?" In front of the army, Qing Yuan joined the army and Zhang Yuan also stood on top of the chariot, constantly looking at the situation in front of them, and they were very optimistic about the current situation.

"Marshal, if we don't send people over to support, I'm afraid our army will not be able to stop the enemy's offensive?" Before Zhang Yuan could answer Qingyuan's question about joining the army, a general saw that the situation was urgent, and he also asked.

"What else can I do, Ben Shuai has already let the 50,000 army resist the enemy army, do you want to send more people," Looking at the long queue of snow troops under those stairs, Zhang Yuan was also very angry at the uselessness of those snow troops.

Now the number of night soldiers rushing down the stairs is only 1,000 at most, and there are thousands of soldiers in each of the four stairs, so many snow troops can't stop that little enemy army, and Zhang Yuan has no choice but to be angry.

At this moment, the things used to resist the city gate under the city tower are constantly being knocked backwards, and the iron pillars used to fix them have been bent into the ground, and when those iron pillars are tilted a little more, the things that were originally used to block the city gate will definitely be knocked backwards.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be breached by the enemy, Zhang Yuanyi really didn't pay attention at the moment, because there was no suitable thing to use to strengthen the city gate now, unless it was to kill some of the war horses that their cavalry was riding on, and then pile them at the city gate. However, that would hurt the morale of his army too much, and time might not come in time, and Zhang Yuan didn't want to use that method.

At first, Zhang Yuan also thought that the night army would withdraw its troops, but he didn't expect that now the night army not only did not withdraw, but the offensive became more and more ferocious, Zhang Yuan also didn't know how the night army could be so stubborn, and where did it come from.

Compared with the night army, because they have the advantage of geographical advantages, the overall morale of the snow army is only strong and not weak, but now it is so embarrassed by the enemy, is it not that the night army is not greedy for life and afraid of death, Zhang Yuan also felt deeply, and his face was extremely heavy and suspicious at the moment.

When Zhang Yuanyi was thinking about the current battle situation, the general who asked Zhang Yuanyi just now had nothing to say at the moment. Although there are night troops on several stairs now, judging from the number of people, it is obvious that the enemy army needs more support, but many snow troops have not participated in the battle.

I don't know how the general over there commanded the soldiers to fight, not only this general, but also several generals next to him were very puzzled at the moment, and they kept thinking about whether their soldiers were really so unbearable.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuanyi's reply could not satisfy Qingyuan to join the army, because it could not change the current situation.

"Marshal, could it be that the enemy army is not an ordinary martial artist?" Qing Yuan joined the army and watched the night army over there keep waving their weapons, running down the stairs and killing while running, and he was inevitably a little surprised by the strength of those ordinary soldiers of the night army.

There are also many generals who have common problems with Qingyuan's joining the army, and in their eyes, the strength of the Night Army does seem to be much stronger than the Snow Army. It's just that the fact is that Qingyuan joined the army and these generals thought that it was just that the Snow Army did not exert its combat power.

At the moment, the night army is the kind of same hatred and unity, and the soldiers can be completely united, as long as there is a general to lead them, they are all fearless, especially when many people find that the resistance of the snow army is very weak, as it was outside the Huangyan Pass.

That time, they beat the Snow Army to the ground, and they had no power to fight back, and now they also want to defeat the Snow Army, so as to eliminate the bad breath that the Snow Army used to beat their morale by using their geographical advantage to make them hold back.

The Night Army didn't think too much about it when they charged, they only had one goal to kill the enemy, as long as they won the Snow Army, Xilan City would belong to them, this was the guarantee that Zhao Wu made to them before sending his troops.

In addition, in order to boost morale, those night army generals have been shouting to avenge their dead brothers, so much so that many night soldiers still have a kind of hatred.

There were many night soldiers who died tragically under those rolling logs and stones before, especially those weapons thrown by the snow army to attack them from the city, which made some night soldiers frightened and humiliated, it can be said that the previous actions of the snow army were factors that could make the night army hate them.

Hatred generates anger, and anger inspires a person's strength, so under the shouts of those generals, more and more night soldiers rushed down the stairs without hesitation, armed with weapons, stepping on corpses, and rushing towards the snow army below in a swooping motion.
