Chapter 276

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had already been injured several times, but fortunately, Lin Xuanzhong reacted quickly and helped the two of them block the attack in time, otherwise it would really be impossible to guarantee the safety of the two.

The two brothers, who wanted to go on a killing spree, were furious, but when they found out that the situation was not as optimistic as they thought, and the Snow Army would let them kill them as before, the two finally relented and did not dare to attack like that without regard for their own safety.

Having said that, most of the night soldiers in the city are in the same mood as the big bulls at the moment, they have been blocked three or five times before, and they almost lost their lives one by one, and now they finally come up, almost all of them are holding back a wave of anger, and the snow army in front of them has naturally become the object of their anger.

Although the current situation in the city cannot be said to be the upper hand of the night army, the trend of the night army to gain the upper hand is growing little by little, and it will not be long before the night army with the same hatred will definitely be able to suppress the momentum of the snow army.

As for how to suppress the morale growth of the night army, the snow army has no targeted countermeasures, and can only continue to resist the night army.

It is worth mentioning that at first, the long city wall gave the Snow Army a great advantage, but now that advantage has gradually become a disadvantage.

Due to the limited width of the city walls, even though there were countless snow troops under the city that could easily go up to the city to resist, the narrow walls also limited the number of snow troops that could support them, resulting in more and more troops of the night army on the city.

At the same time, in the main hall, Zhang Yuan's face was flushed, and he listened to the news reported by the herald below in disbelief. Just now I told Qing Yuan that the night army would definitely retreat, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the night army had already hit the city, and the current situation Zhang Yuan was unexpected, and even the facts were in front of him, Zhang Yuan couldn't understand what was going on.

"How many enemy troops are currently on the city walls?"

"About 10,000 people. ”

"How many troops are in our army, about 13,000 people. ”

"En?" Zhang Yuan also asked in surprise, "Why are you so good?"

"Marshal, the width of the city wall is limited, and it is difficult for our soldiers to come to the city to support. ”

"What is the morale of the enemy army?"

"It's been strong. ”

Under Zhang Yuan's inquiry, the herald below answered the questions one by one.

The more he listened, the deeper Zhang Yuanyi's brows wrinkled. Listening to the news reported by the herald, Zhang Yuan also felt that the current situation was obviously not optimistic. The night army's siege speed was too fast, which made Zhang Yuan feel caught off guard.

During the conversation between Zhang Yuan and the herald, the generals below were also very anxious.

"Marshal, how should our army respond to the battle now?" asked one of the generals.

"Marshal, what should we do if all the enemy forces come up?" another general asked. This kind of question is enough to show that this person may not have even seriously considered the situation on the scene, but this question is very attention-grabbing, and even Na Qingyuan can't help but get up from his seat at this moment.

"Marshal, is there a plan to retreat from the enemy?" Now the enemy army has a large number of soldiers climbing the city wall, and the number is still increasing rapidly, from the previous three thousand to the current ten thousand, only a short time has passed, Qing Yuan joined the army really can't accept this kind of impact, and because of panic, he has doubts about Zhang Yuanyi's ability.

"What are you panicking about?" Although there was no countermeasure, Zhang Yuanyi still felt that the problem of his subordinates was a bit alarmist, and couldn't help but scold: "Why don't you go and lead the troops to meet the battle." "A military order was issued.

"Yes," I don't know where their boss got that calmness, and I don't know if Zhang Yuan also has a countermeasure to retreat from the enemy, but they can't disobey the military order. As a result, several generals below who had been on standby took the order and hurriedly left the main hall.

As soon as a few people left, the hall was immediately much cleaner, leaving only a few heralds on standby at any time, as well as Zhang Yuan and Qingyuan joining the army.

"Don't worry, my lord, there are many soldiers in my city, and the city wall is so narrow, the number of night soldiers who can climb the city wall must be limited. As long as our army stubbornly resists and holds the city pass, there must be no problem," after letting those generals leave, Zhang Yuan also remembered what Qingyuan said when he joined the army, and quickly responded to it.

At this time, Zhang Yuan calmed down first, and there was nothing wrong with what he said. Saying such a sentence can be regarded as comforting Qingyuan to join the army, and it can also be regarded as cheering himself up, Zhang Yuan is actually very confused.

"Having said that, it's just that Sun is worried that the night army will fight to the death with our army. Qing Yuan joined the army and felt that Zhang Yuanyi's words made some sense, but he still couldn't rest assured.

"Why should my lord worry, as long as the city gate is not broken, the night army cavalry can't attack it, what's the use of more infantry coming up," after all, it was an eighth-order martial cultivator, and Zhang Yuan's tone became more and more calm.

In fact, Zhang Yuan was also very helpless at the moment. Yesterday's decision to defend the city was still discussed with the elders of the clan, and now there is no one to discuss with him, so he can't talk about his worries and Qingyuan's joining the army. On the other hand, he also had to make the other party feel relieved, so Zhang Yuan also felt very tired.

In addition, in Zhang Yuan's opinion, Qingyuan joined the army except that his status was higher than his own, and he was useless in other aspects. has no opinions, doubts himself many times, interferes with his own decision-making, and does not know how this person can take the position of "joining the army", and Zhang Yuan does not know how to accept the other party's kindness in the first place. It's really aggrieved to think about it now, if he can, Zhang Yuan really wants to put aside his current identity.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yuan also felt that if he was not the commander of the three armed forces, it might be easier to consider countermeasures against the enemy army at this moment. However, with the facts in front of him, Zhang Yuan had no choice.

On the other hand, after Zhang Yuan was relieved twice, Qingyuan had to forcibly reassure himself when he joined the army. Thinking about it carefully, this person felt that he was a little suspicious, and he didn't trust Zhang Yuan enough to help the battle.

Thinking about his own shortcomings, and then looking at Zhang Yuanyi's face, although Qing Yuan joined the army at the moment, although he had thousands of words in his heart, it was still difficult to say. The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward, and neither of them knew what to say.

At the same time, the generals who had just gone out had already joined the battle, and their targets were naturally the high-ranking martial cultivators in the Night Army. The narrow walls were littered with corpses, on both sides, and it was impossible to tell how many of them were.

In the past few years, more night soldiers have climbed the walls by ladders. Because the snow army above could no longer defend the city with rolling logs and stones, the night army below who was waiting to go up to the city was excited one by one, and they rushed to climb the city wall.

The evil breath they are holding is waiting to be vented, and the Snow Army will be their best target to vent. In order to climb the city wall as soon as possible, the night army was aggressive, for fear that there would be no enemy army for them to vent their anger if they went up one step later.

After those generals took the lead, the morale of the night army grew higher and higher. At this moment, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and the arrow battalion who were still waiting on the other side of the river bank were gearing up one by one, waiting for the city gate to break open and hit the city.

Although the gates had not yet been breached, many of them had already thought of passing through the walls, and even if the loss of their mounts would reduce the strength of those cavalry, they still did not want to endure the pain of waiting in place for so long. Besides, they have been infected by the fierce scenes of the war, and they all have a feeling of blood boiling. Even the walls of such height could be punched up, and many soldiers wondered what else could they fear. It can be seen that the momentum of those night troops has not been affected by the previous battle situation.

At the same time, some of the generals left behind by Zhao Wutong on the chariot were all calm or excited, and the current situation was exactly what they wanted to see.

The generals did not expect that not long after Zhao Wu gave the order to persist in the siege, the battle situation would change so dramatically, and many generals admired Zhao Wu, and it can be said that Zhao Wu's ability has been fully recognized by them.

"Driving", when the general admired Zhao Wu and observed the battle situation, Zhao Xu came over from the crowd on horseback.

"Marshal, the defense behind the gates is about to be knocked open, but our siege engines are just about to be destroyed. ”

"It's okay, the siege engine can be rebuilt if it breaks, but our army still needs to break the city gate as soon as possible. "The situation behind the city gate is exactly what Zhao Wu has to consider now.

From the beginning to the present, the siege vehicle has not stopped, during which Zhao Wu was also worried that the siege vehicle would be destroyed in advance, but fortunately, the reinforced siege vehicle can still be used now, and it has not affected his morale.

Although the city has been attacked now, the breach of the city gate is still the top priority. If the cavalry is not effective, the night army will be locked in a bitter battle, and even if it can win, it will only be a crushing victory. In short, according to Zhao Wu's considerations, the siege gate is still an important matter.

"Marshal, what is the situation of our army?" has been directing the soldiers to break the city gate at the city gate, Zhao Xu rarely has the opportunity to pay attention to the situation in the city, even if he can see some, it is difficult for Zhao Xu to determine what the situation is.

"Our army's victory is about to become a foregone conclusion, but you have to lead people to break through the city gate first," Zhao Wu's tone suddenly increased, as if the possibility of victory was placed on Zhao Xu.

"The last general commands," Zhao Xu didn't understand what Zhao Wu meant, but he already understood the importance of breaking through the city gate, so he immediately agreed, then turned around and ran towards the city.

When those generals saw Zhao Xu leaving with the military order, they all looked puzzled, they didn't know why Zhao Wu regarded breaking through the city gate as so important, they could obviously attack the city through the city wall.

"Marshal, will our army be defeated?" asked a general with a frown.

"Just the difference between a small victory and a big victory?" Shaking his head, Zhao Wu replied simply.

"Does the marshal mean that our army will be able to win a great victory as soon as the gates of the city are breached?" asked one of the generals, puzzled.

"Exactly," Zhao Wu nodded calmly, his gaze facing the direction of the city gate.
