Chapter 662: Battle Song of the Yang Kingdom
Based on Ruan Sihai's actions to appease the people, many civilians are now aiming for the night army that has not invaded them after entering the city. If the Night Army loses to the Coalition Army, their fate will be even more miserable than it is now, which is a truth that everyone understands, so many civilians expect the Night Army to win. Of course, before the war is over, the only thing they can do is wait.
Time passed little by little, and after encountering the tough resistance of the night army, the offensive of the Yang army did not weaken. As the role of the archers under the city increased, more and more Yang soldiers climbed the city wall at this moment.
There are more and more melee areas in the city, at first, the generals of both sides are constantly busy killing the enemy in front of them, but because the personnel replenishment of both sides is very timely, they soon meet the enemy generals head-on, you come and go very tacitly only with weapons to fight, no one needs to attack in a large area, so as not to hurt their own soldiers.
As the number of enemy troops ascending the city continued to increase, Yan Nantian, who originally wanted to continue to increase his troops to defeat the enemy army, had to make new considerations. The bows and arrows of the enemy army under the city can attack with impunity, and they are extremely accurate, and many night soldiers have died at the hands of those archers.
Just now, when he was thinking about how to deal with the enemy archers below, Yan Nantian originally wanted to mobilize some archers from behind the city to deal with them, but the space in the city was limited, and even if the archers came up, it would not be able to play an obvious role. In the end, because he wanted to give the infantry more room to move, Yan Nantian gave up the idea of mobilizing archers for reinforcements.
Soon after that, Yan Nantian received instructions from Zhao Xu not only not to send reinforcements up, but also to relax the defense so that more enemy troops could come up, so that the enemy archers below could not continue to attack.
Now, due to the increase in melee areas, the enemy archers in many positions have stopped attacking, and the night army in those places will only face the enemy in front of them. However, the Yang army continued to ascend the city, and soon had a numerical advantage, and the remaining night troops in the city did not feel the pressure for a long time without reinforcements.
"Pass the order, quickly clear the enemy in the city," After the number of enemy troops reached a certain level, Yan Nantian immediately ordered the implementation of Zhao Xu's second instruction, as many enemy troops as they came, they would destroy as many enemy troops as they came. If the Yang army really thought that they could easily attack the city, it would be a big mistake.
Not long after, after the heralds on both sides conveyed Yan Nantian's order, the night army that originally seemed to be scattered in the city, under the command of a group of generals, converged into small teams in a blink of an eye, each team was composed of two different responsibilities, including those who were specially dealing with those who were ascending the city, and those who were specially dealing with the enemy in front of them.
Under the command of the officer above, each squad approached each other and together slaughtered all enemy troops in their midst. The long weapons held by those night soldiers became an advantage, and it was easy to cooperate with each other to kill all the enemies in front of them. On the contrary, those Yang troops with shields in one hand and short swords in the other had just jumped onto the city wall, and many of them were not only unable to form a formation with their companions, but also did not even have the opportunity to contact the night army, and died one after another under the hands of the night army who acted in a very orderly manner.
On the long city wall, thousands of night soldiers, whether they were recruits or veterans, had experienced the test of death, and the current situation was still within the acceptable range of them, and they could deal a powerful blow to the enemy army according to the instructions above. On the other hand, those Yang troops, even if they were extremely brave, under the strong counterattack of the night army, one by one they still had more than enough strength but were not enough, and they were assassinated by the night army one after another, and the corpses of the Yang army gradually covered the ground on the city wall.
In the midst of the continuous screams, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, constantly stimulating the nerves of the soldiers on both sides, making everyone clearly aware that they were in the middle of the battlefield. That sober consciousness prompted more night soldiers to enter the battle state, on the other hand, on the Yang army's side, there were more soldiers who were more afraid because they didn't dare to face the edge of the night army, and the more they fought, the more they fought.
Although there were also many generals in charge of the command on the Yang army's side, after all, because they could not really suppress the relationship between the night army in terms of momentum, the situation became more and more difficult, and many generals could only watch their own soldiers fall in front of them.
After the situation developed completely in the direction of their favor, some of the Yang generals who were in trouble had the intention of breaking through, but they fell deeper and deeper under the heavy encirclement of the night army, and in the end, it was difficult for them to save their own lives.
As the number of Yang troops in the city decreased sharply, more and more night troops targeted the enemy troops who were entering the city, and it didn't take long for the Yang troops who were just about to jump down from the battlements to be directly assassinated by the night army with spears.
The corpses of the Yang army kept falling to the ground, constantly shaking the hearts of the Yang army under the city, and in a blink of an eye, the Yang army's charge fell into trouble again. In the case that the night army cooperated with each other tacitly, and there was no command error above, the first thing that those Yang troops who successfully landed in the city faced was death.
After a while, along with the enemy generals who landed in the city, the Yang army in the city has been wiped out by the night army, and the corpses in that place are always proving how cruel the battle just now was.
"General Qi, the enemy army now intends to let our army enter the city, and then attack our army when the soldiers are in a position on the city wall that is inconvenient to move, if this continues, I am afraid that the morale of our army will be greatly damaged," a general hurriedly ran from the city to Qi Wei, who commanded the battle, and told Qi Wei about the current situation.
has been paying attention to the battle between the two armies under the city, and Qi Wei himself can see clearly that the corpses that fly down are their soldiers. Obviously, even if they could attack the city, they would still not be able to occupy the long wall, which was dominated by the night army. Unless the number of their own soldiers is large enough to control or change the situation of the game, they will have the potential to truly break through the Night Army's defenses.
In a hurry, Qi Wei, who didn't want to see his soldiers die in vain, was trying his best to find a way. It didn't take long for Qi Wei to think that if they wanted to change the situation of the game, the only way for them to increase their offensive was to increase their offensive, otherwise there would never be any hope of breaking through the city.
"Beat the drums, sing war songs," Qi Wei had his own ideas on how to improve the fighting spirit of his own soldiers.
"Yes," the general who came to report the military situation just now, after waiting for a long time, finally got Qi Wei's instructions, and immediately agreed, and then quickly conveyed Qi Wei's instructions.
"The flag is fluttering, the war drums are excited, the muddy battlefield, countless sons, wearing armor and holding spears, not for the mountains, not for the dangerous rivers, just to protect the beautiful hometown......"
As the rhythm of the war drums changed, all the Yangguo soldiers in the city slowly sang a song, and the sound became louder and louder, and it didn't take long for the magnificent characteristics of the war song to be expressed. When the song reached its peak, the night army in the city was stunned one after another, and when they reacted again, all they could hear was the sound of the enemy singing.
"General Lin, what's going on?There seem to be a lot of people singing outside the city?!" Standing side by side with Lin Xuanzhong, Zhu Zi, who had been injured after a period of recuperation, heard the singing sound from outside at this moment, and immediately looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a puzzled expression.
"That's?" After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't figure out what was going on with the singing, so he had to look at Zhu Zizai with a puzzled expression.
"Two generals, that's the singing!" Thinking that the two of them didn't hear clearly, the other general immediately said his own opinion.
"That's not an ordinary singing!" Although he felt that what the general behind him said was right, Lin Xuanzhong still emphasized the special singing voice.
"What General Lin said is that the song sounds very imposing!" Seeing Lin Xuanzhong say that the song was special, Zhu Zizai also said his feelings.
"En," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that the singing outside was very imposing. Although he didn't know why the enemy was singing during the war, judging from the speed at which the rhythm of the song changed, Lin Xuanzhong could hear that the enemy must be stepping up the offensive at this moment.
In fact, just as Lin Xuanzhong thought, at this moment, the morale of those Yangguo soldiers outside the city wall rose sharply because of the war songs. Because of the constant impact of singing and drumming, many soldiers gradually let go of their inner fears and climbed faster under the command of the officers around them.
It is worth mentioning that those who were responsible for breaking through the city gates, while pushing the long "gate-breaking cart", sang to the rhythm of the war drums, and the more they sang, the harder they worked. The gates, which had been fortified, were now shaken by their impacts, and rubble was falling from above, and the gates themselves were dented in many places. The gates, which were originally made of hardwood and iron plates, gradually became unbearable under constant impact.
Of course, Zhao Xu will not let the enemy break through the city gate no matter what today, so behind the city gate, there are many reinforcement measures, and the Yang army has to start from the inside if he wants to break the city gate. However, the continuous impact on the city gate below still attracted Yan Nantian's attention, and as soon as the battle song sounded just now, Yan Nantian found that the morale of the enemy army had obviously improved.
The resolute intent on the faces of the enemy soldiers made Yan Nantian feel bad, as if the enemy army was no longer afraid of them. When Yan Nantian felt this way, the movements of the Yang army on those cloud ladders became neat, and with the assistance of the archers in the rear, a large number of people climbed the city wall from the battlements at the same time.
At first, the night army in the city was able to resist the onslaught of the enemy army with the cooperation of each other, but as the number of enemy troops entering the city increased, there was soon a melee situation in many positions. Due to the high morale of the enemy army, over time, when the enemy army in the city reaches a certain number of people, the enemy army can really compete head-on with the night army.
In the case that Yan Nantian did not send reinforcements in time, the city wall of several hundred meters has completely turned into a battlefield, and the night army still has a certain numerical advantage, while the Yang army is stronger in momentum. In this way, the two sides will have to win or lose depending on their respective combat strength.
