Chapter 273: No Matter the Cost
Aomine Mountain, Kazegawa Valley.
The slopes on both sides of the Kazegawa Valley are low on the south slope and high on the north slope, and even though the north slope is connected to the North Ridge, the terrain of the slope connecting the northern slope is still very steep, making it extremely difficult to attack.
The Western Chu army naturally focused its attack on the southern slope.
This is exactly the case now, the southern slope is in full swing here, and the northern slope is quiet.
The Southern Tang soldiers stationed on the northern slope had nothing to do, and they all gathered to the edge of the cliff and looked at the southern slope to observe the battle situation here.
The second round of the attack launched by the Western Chu army at Nanling invested much more troops than the first round of attack.
Now that the plan has been exposed, the Western Chu army will no longer hide and hide, and all the troops on the east side of the southern slope will be transferred to the southern ridge.
Very similar to the first battle, the front row of the Western Chu army was still in the front with sword and shield hands, and the rest of the spearmen and archers followed behind.
But this time is different from the last time, in which a large number of Jianghu warriors are mixed in to act as death squads.
It is not difficult to see from this that the posture of Western Chu is to determine the victory or defeat with the Northwest Army in Nanling.
Seeing that the second attack of the Western Chu Army was coming again, and the number of troops invested was extremely large, the Northwest Army did not dare to slack off, so it repeated the trick, and still carried the boulders from the mountain, and the soldiers pushed down the hillside together.
Bang......
With a heart-wrenching roar, boulders tumbled down the hillside.
The Western Chu army had already taken precautions, and when they saw the boulder rolling, the sword and shield men in front of them retreated to the left and right, and the warriors of the rivers and lakes behind stepped forward.
A warrior of the rivers and lakes rushed quickly with an iron spear in his hand, and when the boulder came closer, he suddenly pierced the iron spear into the crack in the ground, and used the iron spear to resist the path of the boulder.
It is obviously impossible to resist this tremendous power with human strength.
The boulder slammed into the iron rod of the iron spear, and the figure of the Jianghu warrior involuntarily flew backwards.
The iron rod of the iron spear was about to be broken almost instantly, and seeing that the iron spear inserted in the ground could not be supported, a Jianghu warrior rushed over on the left and right, holding the iron spear in the same hand, and plunged the iron spear deep into the ground.
The three iron spears finally blocked the rolling boulder and fixed the boulder halfway up the hill.
The other boulder was the same, and was resisted by several Jianghu warriors in the Western Chu army with spirit soldiers, and failed to smash into the camp of the Western Chu army.
Seeing this, the morale of the Western Chu army was greatly boosted, and the battle formation continued to advance up the hillside.
The Northwest Army pushed down the boulder and was blocked by the Jianghu warriors, which was a big shock to the Northwest Army.
However, the fist-sized stones thrown by the Northwest Army were not at all something that these warriors could stop.
The stones in the sky still continued to smash into the battle formation of the Western Chu Army, as long as the sword and shield hands in the front row were knocked down, followed by the sharp arrow array of the Northwest Army.
The camp of the Western Chu army was advancing upwards while people fell to the ground from time to time, but the overall camp was still moving upward, and it was getting closer and closer to the top of the hill on the southern slope.
Chu Yujia ordered the soldiers on the left and right: "Continue to let go of the rolling stones, and smash the enemy army to me." ”
Qi Zhong hurriedly reminded: "General, there are many Jianghu warriors in the Western Chu army, and our boulders have little effect. ”
"Shao Teniang's nonsense with Master Hou and me, just do whatever you want. ”
In peacetime, Chu Yujia is a representative of kindness, anyone can joke with him, even if he is a pawn, he can talk a few words.
But when it comes to war, he doesn't allow anyone to question his orders, no matter who they are.
Qi Chong also knew Chu Yujia's personality very well, and he didn't dare to say much at the moment, organized the soldiers of the Northwest Army, and continued to push the prepared boulder towards the hillside.
Just like the situation just now, before the boulder pushed by the Northwest Army could roll into the camp of the Western Chu Army, it was blocked by the swarming warriors of the Western Chu Army with iron weapons, and the boulder was held on the mountainside.
Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly raised his hand, and dozens of long swords suddenly rose into the air.
Chu Yujia raised his hand and held a long sword in his hand, and then shouted: "Horizontal knife battalion, kill with me." ”
As the words fell, Chu Yujia took the lead in climbing over the stone wall, holding a long sword and rushing towards the battle formation of the Western Chu army accompanied by dozens of flying swords.
From the moment the army was founded, the horizontal sword soldier was defined by Meng Feihang as an army that is difficult to meet in close combat.
The bravery of this army is rare in the world.
Even in Ye Guo, which has always been known for its melee combat, it is still a top-notch existence.
The Ye people themselves are taller than the people of the other countries, and the system is also stronger, and now they have weapons made of 100 folded steel, which also raises their already strong cautious fighting ability to a higher level.
The most terrible thing is that they have never lost the determination to give up their lives when fighting the enemy.
Especially when they were following Chu Yujia to rush into battle together, they were even more so.
In their hearts, Chu Yujia is a god-like existence.
Since God is by one's side, what is there to fear when oneself walks with God?
The soldiers of Xichu couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the other party rushing out from behind the stone wall, they never expected that the other party would give up the defense and directly confront their own side.
However, the Western Chu Army is naturally not comparable to the army that is completely raised by the army in Qianshu, and it is naturally not an idle person to be the vanguard of the Western Chu Army.
Quickly reacted to the convenience, and the sword and shield men got out of the way, letting out the archers behind them.
Immediately afterward, a dense rain of arrows shot towards the Northwest Army.
Chu Yujia rushed to the front, waving the long sword in his hand to shoot arrows left and right.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, Chu Yujia rushed from top to bottom, and the speed itself was fast, but in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the opponent's military formation.
The moment he arrived in front of the opponent's army, Chu Yujia's hand also fell suddenly, and dozens of flying swords circling in the sky also smashed into the camp of the Western Chu army in an instant.
The power of the flying sword is many times stronger than that of ordinary arrows, and even if it hits the iron shield of the sword and shield hand, it can also knock the sword and shield hand into a bloody flight backwards.
Not to mention the archers who had no shields, falling row after row like wheat to be harvested in late autumn under the flying sword.
For a while, in the crowd, stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky, and screams and wails were all in one.
But just when Chu Yujia was exerting his might, he was also locked by several Jianghu martial artists.
Because of Chu Yujia's existence, all countries began to pay attention to these Jianghu people who had practiced martial arts since childhood, and they also began to control and recruit them.
When these people arrived in the army, they were really like tigers coming down from the mountains, and some of them were even braver than those generals who were so-called thousands of enemies.
For example, the one who was wrapped around Chu Yujia, a long knife opened and closed in his hand, and a knife fell, smashing on the long sword in Chu Yujia's hand.
Even Chu Yujia, in the face of such a sudden blow from the other party, was a little unable to bear it, and he took three steps backwards before stabilizing his figure.
The next moment, two more people noticed Chu Yujia and pressed towards Chu Yujia one after another......
