Chapter 298
The fire under the mountain became brighter and brighter, and the figures of countless snow soldiers gradually appeared in front of everyone. According to the news reported by the spies, there are more than 50,000 people in the snow army below, and now it seems that there are indeed a lot of people.
It didn't take long for the generals in front of the Snow Army to reach the middle of the trap, but it was not yet a good time for the Night Army to attack. According to the results of the previous generals' discussions, it was not appropriate to attack until the generals in front of them were about to leave their area of attack.
Seeing that the time before the attack was getting shorter and shorter, the archers and infantry in ambush on the mountain finally became nervous, and of course, many of them were excited and difficult. Either way, the Night Army is waiting for now.
"Dang, dang, dang......" A sound of gongs came from the opposite mountain, very abrupt, even Lin Xuanzhong and the others were startled, and then Lin Xuanzhong and they also heard a rapid gong sound behind them.
"Put," received the attack instructions, and the commanders among the soldiers immediately ordered the attack.
"Boom, boom, boom......" I don't know how many arrows flew down continuously, Lin Xuanzhong and Da Niu made them equally busy, and hurriedly pushed down the stones piled up around them one by one.
The rocks crashed against the ridge with a muffled sound. Fortunately, the stones were still relatively strong, and only a few broke on the way down.
At the same time, the movement above immediately attracted the attention of the snow army below, and those frightened snow soldiers raised their torches and looked at the mountains on both sides.
In the darkness of the night, they didn't really see it.
"What's going on?" many of the Snow Army still didn't know what was going on despite hearing the gong above, until the arrows landed on the unsuspecting Snow Army, and a series of screams made the Snow Army realize that there was danger.
The helmets and leather armor they wore were not enough to withstand the arrows flying from above, and they were shot dead in the first place.
"Ahh......h
"Not good, there is an ambush," some generals reacted, and many soldiers in the snow army shouted loudly: "There is an ambush." ”
All of a sudden, the Snow Army's originally untidy formation was completely messed up.
The arrows above rained down from the sky, constantly wiping out the lives of the Snow Army. It wasn't until more and more of the torches in the hands of the Snow Army fell to the ground that some of the Snow Army noticed that the tips of the arrows that shimmered in the moonlight above their heads flickered and flickered, getting closer and closer to them.
"Ah," another scream after another was heard, and at the same time the rumbling in their ears was like the rolling thunder in their ears. The stones finally rolled down the hill and rushed into their formation, and in the confusion, many of the snow soldiers were hit by a hard object before they could see clearly.
In an instant, there was a sound of bones shattering, and the bones of the Snow Army who were directly hit were smashed to pieces, and then the stones pressed over their bodies and crashed into the Snow Army behind them, hitting several people in a row before they stopped. The snow army that was hit by the rocks without exception all died.
It is worth mentioning that a single stone can not only kill several or more Snow Army, but also have an impact on many Snow Army in the surrounding area. Under the impact of the rolling stones, the formation of the Snow Army became more chaotic, and the screams were louder and louder than before.
The snow army was already defeated by the enemy before they saw the enemy's figure, and it can be said that the snow army died very miserably.
On the other side, the night army generals above saw that the formation of the snow army was disrupted by rolling stones, and their rolling stone attacks played a very big role, and they were excited one by one, constantly urging those archers to release their arrows.
The effect of the combination of bows and arrows and rolling stones was too obvious, and under such a dense attack, there were already a large number of casualties before the snow army could react, and even ordinary soldiers forgot to be nervous because of the scene below.
At the same time, the generals of the Snow Army below finally fully understood what was going on, they must have been ambushed by the enemy. Although it is not known how the enemy army could set up an ambush in front of them, now is not the time to think about it.
"Don't mess around, stabilize the formation. ”
"Line up the defensive formation. In desperation, the Snow Country General in front could only remind the soldiers to defend by shouting loudly.
Hearing the voice of their general, the panicked soldiers calmed down a little, but they were still completely powerless to resist. Under the chaotic arrows, the soldiers who did not even have shields could not dodge, and as a result, the formation became more and more chaotic under the random dodge. No matter how the commanders tried to convey the instructions above, ordinary soldiers just wanted to find a place to hide.
It's a pity that in the empty Grand Canyon, the only weapons that the Snow Army can use are the weapons in their hands, but at night, in the panic, the Snow Army can't see how many arrows are shooting at them.
In the face of arrow attacks, there is also the threat of rolling stones, and under the impact of both sides, many snow soldiers can only wait for death in despair.
The Snow Army fell one after another, and the Night Army's ambush had already played a great role at the beginning.
After the generals of the Snow Army continued to give orders, some soldiers finally accepted the instructions and quickly formed a tight formation, raising their long weapons and swinging back and forth in front of them to resist bow and arrow attacks. Although there are not many Snow Army who persuade them to obey the order, the Snow Army who does so is indeed more likely to survive.
Of course, there is a certain disadvantage to the snow army gathering together, once there are stones rolling down the mountain, the snow army standing together has no space to dodge, and huddled together will only make them die more, so soon those snow army generals and officers who are walking through the crowd find that their defensive countermeasures are actually of little use, but the disadvantages are greater than the benefits.
Originally, the snow army was in a bad state after rushing overnight, but now that it was attacked so suddenly, the ordinary soldiers of the snow army were panicked one by one, and they only had endless fear in their hearts when they didn't know how many enemy troops were ambushing them. Now some of the snow troops outside the range of the night army's attack have reacted and have already fled first.
"Retreat," After the military order of the defense could not be carried out, not long after, the generals of the Snow Army in front changed their countermeasures and shouted loudly for these soldiers to retreat.
However, the order was not clear, and in a hurry, the Dry Snow Army did not know whether it was safe to run forward or backward, and by this time the archers of the Night Army had each shot several arrows.
Unable to resist, the Snow Army continued to suffer heavy casualties, and the screams of the screams were heard directly from the canyon to the mountains on both sides, and the Night Army who were lying in ambush on the back of the mountain and unable to watch the battle was excited, and many of the Night Army realized that their plan had succeeded.
Not long after, after almost all the stones had been pushed down, a rapid gong sound sounded on the mountains on both sides.
"Rush," the infantry who had been waiting for a long time received the signal to charge, and one by one stood upright from the mountainside, took the weapons in their hands, and rushed straight down the mountain, shouting for a while.
The shouts of killing from all over the place made the snow army below who was just about to know which direction to retreat again, some soldiers ran to the east, and some soldiers fled to the west, and as a result, the chaos of the snow army has been intensifying under the collision with each other.
"Rush," saw that the snow army was already in chaos, and the infantry who were rushing down the mountain shouted even more excitedly, fearing that if it was too late, the snow army would all flee. In fact, how to deal with the escape of the Snow Army, the generals of the Night Army had already considered it in advance, so they set up the most ambushes at the front and rear of the Snow Army in advance.
As long as those night soldiers rush to the canyon and block the way for the two snow armies in front of them to escape, the snow army that is surrounded inside can only be killed by them, and now everything is developing in the direction expected by the night army generals.
"Keep in formation," After Lin Xuanzhong and the others used up the rolling stones to get the attack instructions, the soldiers quickly got up, and then rushed down the mountain with the weapons in their hands, at the same time, the commanders not far from them shouted for everyone to be careful.
Different from the marginal areas on the left and right, Lin Xuanzhong and the others were initially ambushed in the middle area corresponding to the shape of the snow army, and just now they rolled down from the top of the mountain with a lot of stones, and some of the stones were broken and scattered on the ridge to affect the charge of the soldiers. It was precisely because of the danger of descending the mountain that the officers constantly reminded the soldiers to be careful not to step on the broken rocks, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In order to prevent the soldiers from having an accident when going down the mountain, the commanders worked extremely hard, and while going down the mountain with ordinary soldiers, they kept alerting the nearby soldiers. Despite this, there were still many unlucky soldiers who fell unsteadily or stepped on small rocks, and then rolled down like the big rocks just now.
On one side, he didn't forget to let out an exclamation on the other side, so shocked that the night army next to him didn't dare to run too fast, so as not to end up in the same fate. And those soldiers who slipped and fell to the side of the weapon stopped, or slipped with the soldier, causing a certain impact on the night army next to the soldier and below the original soldier.
Fortunately, such cases were only a minority, and gradually many night soldiers regarded the fallen soldiers as a lesson from the past, and obeyed the orders of the officers above and did not dare to run too fast. Otherwise, if an enemy soldier is not killed but falls to his death, the death is too unjust.
The entire ridge is only more than 100 meters long, and in a blink of an eye, many soldiers have already run to the foot of the mountain, because they are getting closer and closer to the ground, the pressure on the soldiers' hearts is naturally getting less and less, so on the back section of the ridge, the night army is advancing in an accelerated way.
At the same time, the generals and soldiers of the Snow Army below all found that there were enemy troops rushing on both sides, and they were all in a state of confusion.
"General, what should I do?
