Chapter 1077: Turning the Tide (Medium)
In front of the Guanlong army, Li Wannian stood on horseback surrounded by a cadre, and his eyes were blazing and looking straight at Jiameng Pass a few miles away.
Although the four rounds of strong attacks ended in failure, resulting in a staggering number of casualties among the army, and at this time, there were still many wounded soldiers wailing and being sent to the rear for treatment, but General Li, who loved soldiers like a son on weekdays, did not even frown.
Soon a new round of assault was ordered, but in fact, more of his attention at this time was not on the soldiers who had once again mustered up the courage to go to battle, but all rushed to the juncture of Jia Meng a few miles away, and he was waiting for the expected change to happen.
Soon, the facts did not disappoint him and there was a huge turn.
Although his vision was very affected by the distance of several miles and in the middle of the night, he was clearly able to quickly catch the sudden change and chaos on the shut.
At that moment, the overall momentum and situation of the defenders on the gate changed.
Although he couldn't see the picture of Gao Jinxian being beheaded with one sword, Li Wannian could already guess what kind of scene it was, and how panicked and chaotic the defenders were at this time.
At that moment, he no longer had the slightest hesitation, and decisively drew his sword and pointed forward: "The whole army is pressing, the defender is dead, their military heart has collapsed, it is the time for us to defeat Jiameng Pass in one fell swoop!" ”
While roaring, he had already kicked his horse forward, bluffing the soldiers and subordinates around him into a panic, some people hurriedly followed, and some people shouted urgently: "General think twice, everything should be safe......"
They also saw that there seemed to be something strange in the gate, but how could they assume that there was such a big mess within the defenders, even so big that their main generals were killed?
If this is a misjudgment, and the terrain is so reckless, the loss will be too great.
Li Wannian didn't have the need to hide his plan anymore at this time, and immediately said loudly: "Because there are our people in the gate, I have just let people wave torches, and I have sent out the order for him to assassinate Gao Jinxian." Now it's chaos, what is the reason but that he was killed? ”
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers around were silent, and everyone's faces changed rapidly.
Then, their expressions were fixed on excitement, and if this was indeed the case, then it would be a matter of course to break the barrier today.
At that moment, the excited roar took the point where Li Wannian was located as the center, and quickly spread out in all directions: "General Li is clever and has sent someone to kill the chief general of the Vietnamese army!" The defenders of Jiameng Pass have collapsed, and it is the time for us to break through the pass and make meritorious contributions, kill! ”
"The guard is dead, and the breakthrough is today, kill it!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers who had been terrified of successive defeats and had been hesitant to launch the fifth round of attacks this time, this time they received this information, and their confidence suddenly increased, and they all roared, and they all rushed towards the pass.
For them, it was only a moment, and soon they launched a fierce attack on Jia Meng Pass. This attack was more ferocious than the previous four, nay, than any attack in the previous half month, and there was a great deal of decisiveness to take it down.
And the defenders on the pass, at this time, were actually as they thought, although there were random arrows constantly shooting down to hinder them, but it was obvious that the arrow rain was much sparse and softer than before, which was clearly a manifestation of the army's shaking spirit and about to collapse.
This made the officers and men of Guan Longjun even more encouraged, regardless of their own casualties, the shield soldiers in front continued to rush forward quickly with their shields, even if someone next to them was hit by an arrow and fell, they did not pause at all.
And the shield of the fallen person was quickly picked up by the robe behind him, and then quickly filled the position, continuing this round of indomitable charge.
Behind them were a sizable number of crossbowmen, and when they finally came within range of their own fire, they immediately returned fire on the spot, firing a dense array of arrows into the enemy formation more than ten feet above them. Don't try to kill or wound too many enemies, just to delay their offensive.
At the back, there were groups of soldiers carrying crashing wood and ladders, wearing only simple leather armor and no weapons in their hands, so they braved the rain of arrows and falling rocks, and quickly rushed to the wall, or to do the door, or set up ladders, and went straight up.
Even though it seemed to be a battle that had been secured, this Guan Long army was also going all out, and everyone did their duty and brought out the strongest combat power of the entire team.
This may be where the Guan Long Army is strong, this is an elite force that is truly united and prohibited.
Everything seemed to be going so smoothly, and soon the people were under the wall, the long ladder had been set up on the wall, and countless soldiers were struggling to climb straight up.
Instead, the defenders were closed, and at this point the attack became more and more sparse, which was obviously a precursor to the complete collapse of the army's morale.
The victory of breaking the pass is just around the corner, which makes the soldiers on the ladder continue to go up the heart, and the climbing action is more and more agile and fast, and they can see the faces of the defenders above when they have to climb straight to the top.
And at this moment, there was a sudden burst of cheers from above, which was: "See His Majesty the Emperor, Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Emperor......"
When this cry came down clearly, all the soldiers were in a trance, which one was this?
Did the defenders go mad because of the death of the general, or did they have some kind of conjecture? Why did you shout long live?
Then, they heard another shout: "With me here, no one can break my Jiameng Pass, kill!" ”
Immediately, a shout full of excitement also sounded, and countless people quickly emerged from behind the wall, and all kinds of weapons were like crazy and beckoned to the bodies of the Guanlong soldiers who had climbed along the ladder towards the wall.
Arrows, falling rocks, gold juice, boiling oil...... All kinds of weapons were poured down as if they didn't want money, and all of them fell on the heads of Guan Long's generals, who were a little light on the enemy, thinking that it was impossible to encounter too many obstacles in this trip.
Suddenly, the screams were loud, and the silent man fell down the city in the scream, but before he could land, he had already taken his life.
That's not all, the sudden burst of strong fighting spirit on the wall also infected the crossbowmen on the ridges on both sides, and their rain of arrows did not stop at all, all of them beckoned to the enemy who was constantly approaching the wall, and cooperated with the defenders of the gate, forming an outflanking harvest with almost no dead ends on three sides.
For a while, countless Guan Long soldiers were hit and fell, and the others quickly fell into a dilemma.
The performance of the defenders on the Guan, no matter how you look at it, is not like what the general said, they have lost their main general, and the army's morale should be reacted to when it collapses.
But at this time, the drums of war in the rear were beating more and more urgently, which was urging them to continue to press in a big way, regardless of the signal to take the Jiameng Pass.
