Chapter 1055: Bloody Battle (II)

In this elite of Guanlong, who is rapidly rising and taking the juncture, a general with complete armor and a left shield and a right sword is particularly eye-catching.

Because his upward movement is the most swift and decisive, and his martial arts are also extremely strong, with only one shield to support the left and right, he can almost open up the dense rain of arrows and stones from above, and this does not affect his climbing tendency.

Every breath, he can climb a few feet, and the more than ten zhang high Jiamengguan wall seems to him to be able to climb smoothly in just a short tea time.

Seeing this, the Guan Long soldiers in the distance let out bursts of cheers when they boarded, and the sound of the noise was like a thunderous tide, resounding for hundreds of miles: "General Xu! General Xu!"

As a fierce general in Ganzhou, Xu Wenbiao does have a rare brave and fearless heart among the Guanlong soldiers, even if the arrows above his head are raining, it is impossible for him to have the slightest fear.

But just as everyone was cheering for him, and he himself was cheering, and he felt that he would be on the line in a few moments, a bang sounded not far overhead. Then he heard a dense whizzing of arrows coming from the left and right.

When Xu Wenbiao caught a glimpse of a large number of arrows shot from a high place on both sides with the peripheral vision of his eyes, the whole person's face turned white for a moment, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Although his martial arts are high, and his shield can protect the top of his head and body, he only has a shield for both hands after all, and it is impossible to block the dense rain of arrows from the left and right.

So, after trying his best to dodge and waving the steel knife in his right hand to resist for a long time, he finally made a mistake, and a sharp arrow had passed through the omission and hit his shoulder socket.

This arrow made Xu Wenbiao's body stun suddenly, and in the muffled snort, the knife in his right hand was even more stagnant. So, more arrows took advantage of the weakness and struck him continuously, burrowing through the gaps in the armor and into his flesh.

In the pop, the arrows on his body continued to increase, and the blood continued to gush out, and then the whole body finally couldn't resist, and after a moment of stiffness, he took the arrows all over his body, like a hedgehog, and fell straight from a height of more than three feet from the juncture.

When he smashed down the gate and saw the scene of flesh and blood flying with a bang, the shouts and cheers of the attacking and defensive sides suddenly changed positions.

The Guan Long generals who kept cheering just now lost their voices for a moment as if they had been choked by the neck. And the Guan soldiers shouted loudly, which also made their arrows fall faster and more urgently, and harvested the Guan Long generals who were already confused and retreated below.

In fact, as early as when Xu Wenbiao took the lead and fell on the rocks with countless arrows, the people and horses below had already retreated because of the increasing casualties.

It is only because there is a master who will rush forward bravely that they will summon up the courage and follow closely behind.

But now, Xu Wenbiao's death in the city became the last straw that crushed the camel, and he suddenly collapsed quickly in the surprised shouts of the people and horses behind.

Many soldiers even jumped directly from the ladder and then fell hard, injuring themselves and their comrades. The rest of those who were sober, although they wanted to retreat, did not prevent the arrows above from being denser, and there were still heavy casualties when the oil was splashed.

And the arrow strikes from the mountains on both sides are even more defenseless......

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Li Wannian finally sighed and ordered: "Mingjin...... Although he was unwilling, but the matter had come to this point, continuing to force the army to attack would only increase casualties, and it was impossible to pose any threat to Jia Mengguan at all.

When the bell rang together, all the soldiers on the front line retreated decisively like a tide.

But even so, as they scrambled back, they still faced ferocious attacks from the defenders above. Moreover, after arriving, the gate was even more violently opened, and a thousand elite soldiers suddenly shouted and killed directly, chasing the Guan Long soldiers who could not form an army is a fierce kill, and harvested a lot of heads.

When they finally fled back to their own positions, there were only about 3,000 men left in the 5,000-strong army, and almost half of them were defeated in this strong attack.

Even Li Wannian, after learning of this result, his expression changed greatly: "What about Zhang Tianbao?" At this time, it is necessary to pull out one person to take all the responsibility for this big defeat.

Since Xu Wenbiao has died in battle, this responsibility can only be borne by another general.

But the result was beyond his expectations, and soon the following generals reported: "General Zhang was injured by arrows from the left and right when he withdrew his troops, and he couldn't come at all......

Well, the two Ganzhou generals led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the fortifications, but the result was a dead army and a big defeat.

This made Li Wannian itch with hatred, but he had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "After dark, someone will bring back the bodies of the two generals so that they can be buried......

Then, he looked at the city in front of him with hatred, this Jia Meng Guan was so strong, it seemed that it was still above his previous expectations. Do you really want to use that trick?

"General, there is something wrong with the number of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong." At this time, Qin Yuxiang leaned over and reminded him in a low voice.

The onlooker is clear, this sentence really made Li Wannian wake up like a dream: "Yes, there are more than two or three thousand people at this pass!"

He could see clearly just now that the airtight defensive line on the front wall was enough for more than 2,000 men, and then two wings of defenders suddenly appeared. Even if there are not too many ambushes on the mountains on both sides, they will definitely exceed a thousand.

Plus the 1,000 people who opened the door at the last moment...... There were already four to five thousand of them, almost double the strength of the defenders they had previously controlled.

What's going on? Did Sichuan Shu already know the movements of his army one step earlier, so he sent reinforcements here early?

If this is the case, Jia Meng Pass will become more and more difficult to break, at least with conventional means, I am afraid it will be difficult to break.

"Retreat for ten miles for the time being, and when we have created more suitable siege weapons, it's not too late to come." After pondering for a long time, Li Wannian could only accept the reality of defeat and made an order to retreat temporarily.

Watching the martial arts and the murderous Guan Long army retreat in embarrassment, the soldiers on the Jiameng Pass naturally cheered again. If it weren't for Gao Jinxian's efforts to suppress it, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers of Guanzhong would have to take advantage of the victory to kill the generals, and then expand some of the results.

However, only he and a few generals knew in their hearts that this was just the beginning, and the current battle situation was quite not optimistic.

The enemy's forces are large, and their strength is dozens of times that of their own, and as long as there is even the slightest omission in defense, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And more importantly, sometimes if you want to defend Jia Meng Pass, it is not only in your own full defense, but also in some changes outside the pass.
