As Sun Ning burst onto the top of the cliff, a round of attacks and killings, the ambush soldiers on this side naturally stopped blocking the officers and troops below.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a team finally fought up the steep cliff bank, and then quickly attacked the remaining enemies at the top of the cliff.

In the case of geographical advantages, these hundreds of people on the top of the cliff can withstand the impact of the official army. But as the officers and troops officially went up the cliff, the tide of the battle quickly turned around. In addition, they were already killed and injured by Sun Ning, and the people were panicked, and it would be even more difficult to organize a decent offensive in the face of another onslaught.

So in just one battle, this cliff top was captured by the official army. The ambush soldiers were either killed and captured, or fled to the rear in a hurry, and even those weapons, bows and crossbows were thrown to the ground.

Chen Qingyun also rushed to the top of the cliff at this time, and swept it in a blink of an eye, but he did not see the figure of His Majesty the Emperor, which made his heart slightly tense and felt a little worried. He watched the whole process of Sun Ning's confrontation with those masters from below, especially the last person to make a move, which gave him and the soldiers great oppression.

At this time, this person disappeared with His Majesty the Emperor......

But he quickly regained his composure and turned his attention back to his eyes. The safety of His Majesty the Emperor is not something he can control now, what he can do is to command his soldiers to defeat the surrounding enemies as soon as possible, and rescue his subordinates who are still desperately trying to survive in the river.

"Come on, turn the stone thrower around for me, and aim over there to hit!"

After a little observation, Chen Qingyun had already made a decision, and while giving a loud order, his hand was already pointing to another ambush position in the north. Under the cliff bank over there, there are also many officers and soldiers who are climbing up and attacking with all their might, but because there is no master like Sun Ning to open the way for them, the battle situation is not optimistic.

The men immediately understood the intention, and immediately a number of people who were good at operating the stone throwing machine quickly stepped forward, moving the bulky guys, and at the same time quickly loading the stones behind their backs.

After only a few moments, the stone throwing machine had turned and arranged, and with a few shouts, dozens of stones of different sizes roared and threw straight towards the top of another cliff more than 20 zhang away.

It wasn't until the rocks fell overhead, and the ambush soldiers who were still guarding the cliff bank wholeheartedly did react, and the side position had been lost, and their own situation was already very bad.

They didn't even have time to evade and protect themselves, but they were beaten by this "stone rain" and suffered many casualties, so they naturally relaxed their obstruction of the officers and troops below.

The officers and soldiers who were desperately climbing below naturally did not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately accelerated upward, and in only half a cup of tea, a general had already risen from under the cliff. After blocking the spear and slash with his shield, the knife in his hand also slashed close to the ground, cutting off the ankles of the two attacking enemies, and leaping forward amid their screams.

Behind him, more officers and soldiers had quickly risen up, shouting, and slaughtering the enemy who had already fallen into a panic in front of him.

The suspense of the battle was completely lost at this moment.

It is said that the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill, and the same is true of the battlefield defense line.

Maybe it was still impregnable before, but as long as one point is breached, then the whole defense line will collapse.

At this time, the battlefield on both sides of the Tiger Leaping Gorge was like this, with the loss of a clifftop position, there was a chain reaction, and the positions in front and behind were broken through by the officers and troops one by one.

And with the loss of their condescending superiority, the huge gap between this ambush army and the official army was completely exposed - whether they were in terms of strength or combat strength, courage or determination, they were too far from the battle-hardened Da Yue official army.

In the face of the ferocious onslaught of the officers and troops, the first thing they thought of was not to unite and carry hard, but to escape and retreat. It was this retreat that completely deprived them of even the last bit of opportunity.

More than 20 ambush positions fell one by one, and less than a thousand people escaped. The others were either killed on the spot, or they became prisoners, obediently tied up and thrown aside.

The officers and soldiers were finally able to return to the shore, and most of them gathered on the top of the cliff, except for a few wounded who remained below.

At this time, it was only three watches. From the beginning to the end of the battle, it was only half a day, and the officers and troops really launched a counteroffensive, and it was only an hour or two when the battle was full.

In the face of a surprise attack, and in such an unfavorable environment, the officers and troops were able to quickly turn the corner and defeat the ambush soldiers, which is enough to show how powerful this Dayue elite is.

However, all the soldiers did not feel happy and complacent because of this, everyone's faces were full of grief and indignation, and Chen Qingyun and other generals had a little more worry and uneasiness on their faces.

It's been a few hours, but His Majesty the Emperor hasn't returned, and even though he is strong in martial arts, it is inevitable that people will worry about him. Several generals who knew about it secretly found Chen Qingyun and asked him what to do next, and whether he should immediately send someone to search for His Majesty's whereabouts.

Chen Qingyun was also hesitant for a while, he also wanted to find the emperor's whereabouts immediately, but at the same time, reason was telling him that he must not act so recklessly.

"This is already the boundary of Huaibei, once our soldiers and horses are really dispersed and the whereabouts of the local defenders are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable."

As he spoke, he took a sharp breath: "I think that even Your Majesty doesn't want us to take the whole army to take such a big risk, and besides, we must also have confidence in Your Majesty, he will definitely return safely!" ”

The generals also knew that what he said was reasonable, but they still felt at a loss in their hearts: "Then what should we do next?" ”

Chen Qingyun couldn't give his own answer to this question for a while, so he could only be silent for a long time and said, "Let's rest on the spot for the time being, and count all our losses." ”

Although they seemed to turn the tide of the battle in this battle, it was an unprecedented fiasco.

Most of the soldiers eventually had to go ashore, but dozens of large ships sank, so the number of drowned men and horses was probably a huge number. Now because of the darkness, it is impossible to see the water below, but thinking about it, in addition to the wreckage of the ship, there are more drowning corpses of soldiers on it.

Compared to those who fell into the water and died, the casualties caused by the battle to seize control of the cliff top were acceptable.

And even if we put aside the losses in the number of casualties of these soldiers and horses, the fact that most of the ships were wrecked and sunk, together with the loss of weapons and materials on board, was an unbearable blow to the entire army.

Now that the army has lost its troops, its morale is low, and its materials have been destroyed, I am afraid that it will be completely impossible to implement the previous strategy to attack Liangzhou.

Chen Qingyun knew that the army had suffered heavy losses this time, but when it was dawn and someone really counted all the losses and reported them, he was still taken aback by this huge number.

Some people died, but not completely......
