Chapter 1035: Turning Point Now

The next day, dawn.

The armies of both sides, which had been silent for nearly ten days, were recharged. Not to mention that the soldiers in Lintong Pass are holding back their strength, which one of the Zhou soldiers is not the same?

This time, Jiang Ziya didn't have any tentative plans, he directly divided the 200,000 soldiers in his center out of 50,000, divided them into ten echelons, and focused on attacking the eastern section of the entire fortress. This section was somewhat damaged, and in the previous Tentative Attack, it didn't appear to be as strong as the rest of the fortress.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The sound of war drums sounded from the array of the Zhou army, and it also roared from the fortress, and the momentum was so loud that it was more indomitable and ruthless than the previous tentative attack. It also made the ordinary soldiers understand that today I am afraid that we must divide the winners and losers, otherwise there will be a situation of endless death.

For a while, the hands holding their weapons couldn't help but tighten again, and the scarlet of killing rolled out of their eyes.

In a few moments, the attack array that the Zhou army leaned forward had already reached the front of the fortress, and after a "kill" sound overflowing with murderous intent was shouted, the first echelon raised a large shield to cover the first wave of siege battles started by the five thousand soldiers of the second echelon.

Wen Zhong was still standing on the arrow tower of the fortress in military uniform, watching the entire battle situation. All he wanted was to let the guards of the city see him or his banner, and let the soldiers know that their commander was on the front line just like them.

"If you want to capture Lintong Pass without relying on mana means, Jiang Ziya is too self-righteous, right?" Wen Zhong frowned with contempt on his face. He thought that Jiang Ziya had gone to Kunlun Mountain to move rescue troops before, but why had he already started to attack, but there was no magic method against the fortress wall? Could it be that Jiang Ziya was really so self-righteous? Or did he still have another means to hide?

Wen Zhong frowned, looking at the attack and defense below, blood was nothing at this time, death was just some embellishments, everyone was gritting their teeth and waiting for the other party to fall first.

And under the handsome banner of Zhou Jun, on a chariot, although Jiang Ziya looked calm, he was very anxious in his heart. He didn't dare to inquire about the saint's affairs in detail, and he couldn't have the slightest suspicion, so even though the attack had begun for half an hour now, he still didn't see the saint's support, and at this point, Jiang Ziya could only pretend to be calm, but he didn't dare to show it at all. First, this will affect the morale of the military, and secondly, it seems to be disrespectful to the saint.

It was not only Wen Zhong who was as confused as Jiang Ziya, but also all the high-level cultivators on both sides.

Without direct restraint of the fortress walls and the defenders of the city who had a numerical and qualitative advantage in the interception of the sect, and even stormed when the ordinary soldiers did not have an advantage, it was tantamount to asking for self-inflicted discomfort.

One hour, two hours......

"Uncle Shi, let's withdraw first!"

A member of the Zhou army, the general, knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Ziya's chariot covered in blood, his face full of sadness. He really couldn't hold it back, and he couldn't care so much, so he spoke up.

From dawn until evening. It's not an exaggeration to say that there are mountains of corpses. It is hastily estimated that the number of soldiers invested in the siege of the Zhou army has reached 80,000, and only half of them can retreat from the whole body, many are disabled, and more than 20,000 have died directly. This is not counting the lost monks of the two religions.

"Yes, Uncle Shi, if it continues to be consumed like this, our army will be very disadvantaged!"

There were less than 300 monks in the Zhou army, and in the past half of the day, there were 30 dead alone, and almost all of them were seriously injured or lightly injured.

I can't bear it.

I don't think it's Jiang Ziya who is holding up, or that his head is hot. There is sure to be accurate information about the resources beforehand. But now, it looks like it's going to be dark, but I can't see where the resources are. Even the savage land pressure that could be found at the beginning is now gone.

In the face of the words of his generals. Jiang Ziya's face finally showed a hint of waves.

Jiang Ziya didn't think about it, and even thought about it at noon. The only thing that has made him stubbornly support until now, in addition to the "support" that Yuan Shi gave him, there are also the words "one go".

Attacking a city is like smashing a walnut, and if you can't smash it at once, you can't do it, you can only continue to smash it one at a time, otherwise won't the previous sacrifice be in vain? What if "support" suddenly comes?

But the momentary hesitation made the Zhou army suffer such heavy losses. This made Jiang Ziya, who was full of confidence before the war, regret his intestines for a while.

"Mingjin Receives ......"

In the end, the huge casualties still made Jiang Ziya have to make a decision. Resentful and helpless, even with deep worry. But when he didn't say "Mingjin withdraws the troops", the battle situation that had been fighting for most of the day suddenly changed.

"It's Zhang Guifang! The herald orders Nezha and Yang Jian to block and block the other party's cavalry from going out of the city!" Jiang Ziya exclaimed in horror, and the herald also hurriedly summoned the two monks of the Zhou army through the magic weapon.

Wen Zhong is Wen Zhong in the end. Although he has always had the idea of "delaying time", he has been holding on to Lintong Pass, hoping to give Shen Gongbao the "turnaround" that he once said have some possibility of survival. But after a long time on the battlefield, he still keenly grasped the fighter.

Half a day of brutal fighting. Wen Zhong had been observing and waiting, and had not left the city wall for half a step from the beginning.

Under the three huge unequal differences between ordinary soldiers, monks, and unequal attack and defense, the offensive of the Zhou army appeared extremely weak. This made Wen Zhong think it was a "trap" at first. But as time passed, Wen Zhong smelled a smell of "turnaround".

So, just when Wen Zhong found that the generals of the Zhou army began to attack the fortress with their lives no longer strongly, and the monks began to paddle to avoid the city wall as much as possible, Wen Zhong made a move.

There were 10,000 horsemen among the interceptors. It was the core of Wen Zhongzhen's defense of the Shang Dynasty. Among them, 5,000 horsemen returned with Shen Gongbao to suppress the situation. The remaining 5,000 horsemen are in this Lintong Pass. And now this iron cavalry has become a vicious dagger with a short inch, with Zhang Guifang, a disciple of the sect, as the tip, taking the initiative to open the gate of the fortress, rushing out like thunder, picking up the dumbfounded Zhou army around, and stabbing towards the front of the Zhou army with murderous spirit.

Overwhelming!

Wen Zhong's face was serious, although he sensed that something seemed to have happened to the Zhou army, so that the upper echelons of the force during the siege were broken. But it's not 100% sure it's not exactly what he expected. Therefore, the five thousand iron cavalry did not follow the infantry, and Zhang Guifang needed to kill it first and then decide. And this time must be accurately grasped, and there is no room for flaws.

In the time of tea, the five thousand elite iron cavalry disrupted the entire battle field, and the shouting of killing turned into a one-sided roar, and the Zhou army was directly in chaos. Even Nezha and Yang Jian, who came to stop Zhang Guifang's subordinates, could not disperse the panicked soldiers, let alone form a powerful clamp.

"Let Yuan Hong lead another 5,000 sword and shield men, cover the past from the left flank, and then probe the bottom of the Zhou army!" Wen Zhong gave the order again, he wanted to see if this "turning point" was really as Shen Gongbao said, which could allow him to reverse the victory!
