Having a meat shield in front of the arrow array did greatly reduce the casualties of the Fifth Legion, and also made the trebuchets in the back move more smoothly.

The battle continued, and it had been going on for more than two hours until now, and the trebuchets in the Fifth Legion had lost more than a dozen of them due to continuous operation, and the stones prepared in advance were getting fewer and fewer, and there was a tendency to be insufficient.

Correspondingly, the gaps in the cliffs on both sides of Crouching Tiger Pass are also getting bigger and bigger, and a big pit was smashed out by the Jin army, and the mountains and rocks on it are crumbling and overwhelmed.

Just when Jin Cheng was about to send someone back to the Chinese army to ask if there were any stones, suddenly, the cliff in front of him made a loud cracking sound that pierced the eardrums, and the crisp sound was so loud that it stabbed straight into the brain along the ear hole of the person, making people's brains hurt.

At the same time, countless pieces of gravel fell from the mountain, and immediately after, I saw the incomparably huge rock above the cliff depression break off, slope down heavily, and then tumble down the cliff face rapidly. You don't have to land, just when you roll down, you have the feeling that the ground is shaking, and it seems that the whole Crouching Tiger Pass is trembling.

Such a spectacular scene, whether it is to the wooden man or the golden man, whether it is to the soldier or the general, the commander, is the first time in his life, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion opened their mouths one after another, slowly put down the shield in their hands, and even the soldiers who were stone throwers and city-breaking crossbows invariably stopped their movements and looked blankly ahead.

The Fifth Army that took the lead was like this, and the same was true of the Chinese army behind, Lin Haotian, who was so calm-willed, sat on the horse and unconsciously straightened up, almost stepping on the stirrups to stand up.

For the Jin army in the distance, this scene is spectacular and rare to see, but for the wooden army in the Crouching Tiger Pass. Especially for the defenders under the falling rocks, it was a nightmare that felt like they were in purgatory.

"Boom—"

The massive rock finally landed, and the ensuing violent impact caused a powerful earthquake that knocked down a large part of the Fifth Legion outside the city.

The horse was frightened, sloppy and screaming, and its front hooves lifted off the ground, almost standing upright. The soldiers of the Jin Army sitting on it were thrown under the horses one after another, Jin Cheng was not spared, and the sturdy stone throwers that had been fixed were dumped one after another, and the soldiers of the Fifth Legion around were scared and screamed, and they ran out with rolling and crawling, and in an instant, people had the feeling that the sky was collapsing, and the people of the Fifth Legion camp shouted and neighed. Mess.

The Fifth Legion, which is one mile away from Crouching Tiger Pass, is still like this, and the scene inside Crouching Tiger Pass can be imagined.

The center of the mountain stone did not hit the city wall of Crouching Tiger Pass, only the edge was scraped, but even so, the city wall of Crouching Tiger Pass collapsed more than ten meters long, half because of the smashing, half because of the earthquake, and the wooden soldiers gathered on it disappeared at once. or smashed into flesh, or broken bones and tendons. Drowned in rubble.

The city wall that was not affected by the falling rocks was slightly better, at least it did not collapse, but many of the wooden soldiers standing in front of the arrow battlements were thrown out of the city wall by the violent vibration and fell outside the city. Let him survive.

Jin Jun Zhong Jun.

"Haha-"

Lin Haotian was the first person to recover from the shock, and when he saw that the city wall of Crouching Tiger Pass was smashed open a large gap more than ten meters wide, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and asked Chu Lianyu beside him: "Lian Yu, has there been three hours since the war started?"

"Ahh Chu Lianyu came to his senses and looked at Lin Haotian with a blank face.

Lin Haotian asked again: "I said that there were three hours from the beginning of the war to the present?"

Chu Lianyu heard it clearly at this moment, calculated slightly, and replied: "Go back to your lord, two and a half hours at most!"

"Okay!" Lin Haotian stretched out three fingers and smiled at the generals around him: "I said that within three hours, break through the Crouching Tiger Pass, and now it's time to fulfill the promise." As he spoke, he drew his sword, swung it forward, and shouted: "The officers and men of our army obey the order, the whole army will attack, capture the Crouching Tiger Pass, and destroy all the thieves, regardless of life or death!

"Kill—"

Lin Haotian gave an order, and the whole army moved up and down, shouting and shaking the sky, and thousands of troops and horses advanced at full speed.

At this time, it is no longer to maintain the formation of the corps to move forward, it is good to maintain the formation of the corps, the nearly 200,000 Jin army, the charge is like a flood of beasts, morale is like a macro, as if it can devour heaven and earth, the state of a tiger and a wolf, enough to deter the opponent without a fight.

If there is a danger to defend, the wooden army still has something to rely on, now that the city wall has collapsed, looking at the Jin army rushing over like a sea of mountains outside the city, the wooden army is all scattered, and the legs and stomachs are tendoned.

On the surface, the falling rocks smashed down the walls of Crouching Tiger Pass, but in fact, it smashed the psychological defense line of the wooden army, causing tens of thousands of defenders to fall into a state of nervous breakdown all at once.

It's a pity that the disaster is not a single line, the collapse of the city wall on one side has made the wooden army have a sense of great disaster, but at this time, the cliff on the other side also has a landslide, three huge mountain stones have rolled down one after another, not only the city wall collapsed more than ten meters, even the barracks and military tents in the pass have been implicated in a large piece, and many wounded soldiers who stayed in the barracks died in a daze.

Watching his own soldiers shouting and rushing forward to kill, Chu Lianyu was also surging with blood, he turned his head to look at Lin Haotian who was excited and happy, and laughed secretly, sometimes the tactics that adults come up with are really unexpected, magical and mysterious.

He cleared his throat and asked, "Why don't you let the Fifth Legion take the lead?"

"Fifth Legion?" Lin Haotian still looked ahead, and said without looking back: "Forget it! It's okay to let the Fifth Legion beat the side drums, really let them charge into battle, and do hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, they can't count on it, but it will affect the morale of our army and increase the enemy's prestige!" Saying this, he turned his head to look at Chu Lianyu, and said with a smile: "The hard battle of real swords and real guns depends on our Jin brothers!"

Lin Haotian sighed softly, changed his words, and muttered: "There are so many talents in the Mu Kingdom, but Er Liu Ji is not under his command and used in the army, which is incredible. ”

Chu Lianyu smiled and continued: "It is Liu Ji's stupidity that will make adults and achieve great things!"

"Haha-" Lin Haotian laughed again after hearing this.

Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu were chatting leisurely, but the Crouching Tiger Temple on the opposite side had become a pot of porridge.

The wooden soldiers and soldiers had no intention of fighting, and people were only waiting for orders to retreat from above.

Not only did the soldiers want to run, but the wooden generals also had no fighting spirit, and the generals around Cao Xiong surrounded him, each other, and one of them said, "My lord, we ...... Still is...... Judging from the current situation, Crouching Tiger Pass cannot be held in any way, and only by temporarily withdrawing can we preserve our strength......

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Xiong had already interrupted: "Retreat? Where else can we retreat? After Crouching Tiger Pass, there is no danger to defend, and the local army of Ziling County behind us has already gone south, do you want me to retreat to the country?"

In a word, the generals were red-faced and red-eared, and they lowered their heads one after another.

Cao Xiong sighed bitterly and said: "It can be said that we are the last barrier of the capital, the king, the ministers of the court, and the people of the whole wood country all pin their hopes on us to resist the Jin army.

His words touched the generals greatly, and people took a deep breath with each other, and said in unison: "We swear to advance and retreat with the adults, and live and die together!"

"Okay!" Cao Xiong looked around with emotion, clenched his fists, and said categorically: "Even if the enemy is outnumbered, even if the city wall collapses, even if we use our flesh and blood to block it, we must block the Jin army from the pass!"

"Yes, sir!" replied the generals in unison.

The generals' determination to die was aroused by Cao Xiong, and they led the wooden army to withstand the Jin army for a while with a strong momentum, but how could it last long? The difference in strength and overall strength between the two sides was too great, and the gap was so large that it could no longer be balanced by willpower.

In the big gaps in the north and south of the city wall of Crouching Tiger Pass, the two sides launched fierce battles and battles. (To be continued......)
