Chapter 1074: The Last Fight (Part II)
The sound of drums and trumpets rose loudly in the sky, and the sound of killing soared into the sky.
Jia Meng's pass, from the generals to the soldiers, all showed a look of surprise, and the enemy troops who should have retreated and didn't even dare to violate this pass actually came back a moment after the main general vomited blood and retreated into the formation, which was too unexpected and too unacceptable.
Moreover, if the color turns dark today, it will not be conducive to battle at all, especially to attack and defend, how can they dare to kill the generals so desperately?
"It's Li Wannian, only he can issue such a military order and let the whole army follow it without any discount." Sun Ning made a quick judgment with a cold face, and then looked at Gao Jinxian, who had not recovered yet, "General Gao, don't underestimate slackness. This should be the last ditch of the enemy!"
Gao Jinxian's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he immediately cheered up: "Yes, you must go all out. Pass on my military orders, and get all the horses and weapons ready, and there will be no room for mistakes in this battle!"
All the soldiers immediately excited, they had always had the upper hand before, even if the enemy's attack this time looked abrupt, and the momentum was even higher than before, but they still didn't think that they would not be able to hold the Jiameng Pass, in the end, the result must be a large number of casualties and hasty retreat of the enemy!
At the moment, there was also a shouting and roaring at the gates, and countless generals were concentrating on the incoming enemy ranks, calculating their distance, and preparing for all counterattacks.
Soon, the first army to attack the fortress had already rushed through the narrow entrance road, and was screaming and coming straight to the bottom of the fortress with a cry of arrows.
At this time, the battlefield under the castle, which was not too open, was already more complicated than before.
Because of the previous boulder bombardment, too many huge stones had been hoarded in this area, blocking the formation of the army, and also hindering the bows and crossbows of the defenders above. Overall, though, it's more favorable for attackers, as they have this cover to avoid the denser rain of arrows from above.
In this way, with this sudden extra benefit, the first road of soldiers and horses quickly rushed to the pass, and according to the previous habit, took the ladder, regardless of casualties, climbed straight to the pass.
However, the defenders were not vegetarians, and they immediately came up with more defensive means to bombard them with stones and woods, or doused them with boiling oil, and took advantage of the enemy's inability to invest more troops, and decisively sent a team of hundreds of cavalry out of the pass to kill fiercely.
When it was completely dark, this first round of the offensive was finally blocked, and after dropping thousands of corpses, the rest of the Guanlong army quickly retreated and left the battlefield with the sound of gold in the rear.
It's just that before the defenders cheered, a new group of attacking troops shouted to kill the generals, and it was still the same set of fierce attacks regardless of casualties, and even the means of attacking the city were very different.
In this regard, the Vietnamese army could only continue to use conventional means to hold firmly, but only make slight adjustments and replace the reserve team under the Guancheng.
In this way, on the night of this August, in the first half of the night, Guan Longjun brazenly took turns to send out four groups of military horses, and beat Jia Meng Pass four times like a wheel battle. Straight to the head of the killing, the blood flowed like a river......
This not only made Guan Longjun's own casualties continue to accumulate, but also closed the soldiers and horses, and the casualties also increased rapidly.
After all, people are not completely stupid and will only be beaten passively, their crossbowmen in the rear, and even the stone-throwing machine that is relocated to the front, also gives the defenders of the city a lot of threats and casualties.
If it weren't for the re-emergence of the bed crossbow, and the soldiers and horses on the mountains on both sides also attacked at the same time, maybe by the fourth round, the enemy would have really broken the gap.
Even Sun Ning and other good players, in such a big battle, can only do what they can to help, and they can no longer really help them retreat from the enemy with their own strength.
In the middle of the night, after watching the enemy retreat, he still refused to give up, and when he organized the fifth team to tackle the key problems, Sun Ning felt a burst of exhaustion.
After all, a person is flesh and blood, even if his cultivation is profound, and there is a golden ball of light in his inner body that can continuously provide internal breath, but under the midnight fight, he is indeed a little unbearable.
As for the other defenders, there were many wounded and weak people, and many of them were only at this time
You can take advantage of the gap where the enemy has not yet come to kill again, and rest against the wall.
On the contrary, the enemy troops under the pass, because of the large number of troops, can be sent to attack in batches and fight on wheels, but there is no need to worry about the physical strength of the generals.
But Sun Ning looked at the fifth group of enemy soldiers and horses that were about to be killed again, and he still had strong doubts in his heart: "This is not right!
"Their casualties are far above us, even if they are in a wheel battle, even if there are more troops, such casualties, won't he Li Wannian be heartbroken?
"No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it's not like that. He Li Wannian never thought about it, even if he was allowed to win the Jia Meng Pass with this advantage, but what next?
"Even if he breaks the Jiameng Pass, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Langzhou waiting for him in the rear. At that time, he lost his troops and generals, and he was already at the end of his crossbow, so what did he rely on to fight for eastern Sichuan, and what troops to go out of Huguang, kill the imperial court by surprise, and change the current situation in the world?"
Such a big question made Sun Ning puzzled for a while, he really couldn't accept that the other party would completely lose his mind because of the previous failure, and he would put everyone into this attack desperately.
But what is the other party's backhand, and what is the conspiracy?
Sun Ning didn't know, he really couldn't see it......
At the same time, in front of Li Wannian, many generals were solemnly saluting and trying to persuade: "General, you can't attack like this anymore, otherwise the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties and the morale of the army will be unstable."
"Please calm down and wait for a moment to find a chance to break through......
Seeing so many soldiers killed and wounded, these Guanlong generals were dripping blood in their hearts, and they really couldn't hold on.
Only Li Wannian was still calm at this time, and he didn't even see any anger in his eyes, he only looked at the juncture ahead from a distance, and said in a low voice: "I know that today's damage is indeed very great. But otherwise, we won't be able to conquer this pass, let alone plan for the future."
"But ......"
When someone wanted to say something more, he raised his hand to interrupt him: "Almost. Come on, hold up the torch and wave it three times from the bottom to the top, then four times from the left to the right, and finally from the top down, as I said."
The generals were at a loss, and they didn't know why General Li had given such an order.
But the soldiers around him immediately followed his meaning and quickly waved the torches in their hands.
It's just that when both sides have lit thousands of torches for night lighting, is this change in the light of the fire really of any use?
