At the same time, when the Jin army's catapults began to attack mightily, Dai Tuo also dropped his sword, and seventy or eighty giant crossbows as thick as a baby's arm also shot out of the air, hidden in the arrows. The crossbowmen under the mouth and behind the crossbow also raised their bows and crossbows.
Boulders are like rain, and the densely packed boulders overlook the pass, occupying every inch of the airspace above Yangping Pass. The simple boulder roared away and roared back again, like thunder, full of shock, terror and infinite lethality.
The arrows fell like a waterfall, and the rows of sharp arrows looked down at Guanxia. They suddenly rose into the air and fell suddenly like hawks preparing to prey on yellow sheep thousands of miles above. They pounced on the prey they had already aimed at with lightning speed, leaving streaks in the air. Permeated with traces of murderous intent.
Screams came one after another, and the creepy sound of broken bones was also mixed in. Blood flowers bloomed under sharp arrows and boulders, and lives were suddenly cut off. From then on, they could only live in the mourning of their family.
In the rain of arrows in the stone forest where soldiers from both sides were coming and going, Pandora quietly opened his magic box. From time to time, people fell from the top of the city at Yangping Pass, and from time to time, people at Yangping Pass became the dead souls of arrows.
However, neither side can take care of this at all at this time. You have no intention to care about other places. You can only step forward mechanically, and you can only mechanically pull the bow string in your hand.
Every hour, every moment, every minute, every second, life is dying here. The cruelty of war is undoubtedly evident at this moment.
Bodies piled up like mountains, blood drifted into rivers, and Yangping Pass seemed to have become a ghost Shura field, which made people sick and frightened. However, none of the soldiers on both sides was left behind.
Obviously, after years of training and fighting, they have already become accustomed to life and death, or in other words, they have already seen life and death, and they are already prepared for disaster.
Before the battlefield, the more you fear death, shrink back, and dare not move forward, the more likely you are to encounter a life and death crisis. But the more courageously we move forward, the more we strive for a bright future.
Before the war, perhaps they still had some fear, worry, shrinkage, and retreat in their hearts, but once the war began, their blood had been completely ignited.
At this moment, in their minds, fighting is higher than life and death, and victory is higher than life and death!
After two full hours of attack, the hands of the soldiers on both sides had begun to tremble, and their backs had begun to feel numb. They were still mechanically nocking arrows, stringing arrows, releasing arrows, pulling ropes, and loosening ropes without any sign of decadence. They were all surprised by the strength of the other party, and also shocked by the ferocity and disregard for life and death, but they did not dare to stop and rest for a moment.
Because once they stop, what will greet them is real death!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The desolate horn sound sounded from the battlefield. After hearing the horn sound, the Shu soldiers above Yangping Pass breathed a sigh of relief.
According to their past experience, whenever this horn starts to sound, it means that the enemy troops will temporarily retreat. Whenever this horn starts to sound, they will basically get a certain period of breathing space.
However, these soldiers never noticed that the general who led them, Tuo Tuo, did not show the slightest bit of relaxation like them at this time.
The Jin army showed such a strong offensive from the beginning. Just as they had expected, the opponent was also competing for time. Therefore, at the beginning, they did not make any unnecessary so-called probing moves. Instead, they immediately carried out a thorough and violent attack.
Since the Jin army launched a thorough and violent attack as soon as they came up, it was naturally impossible for them to retreat so easily. It was only two hours before sunset, and it was still early for the soldiers to rest!
Therefore, I am afraid that the trumpet sound of the Jin army does not mean retreat. Or to be more precise, even if the sound of the horn means retreat, it only allows this unit to retreat, but it does not mean that another unit will not come forward.
Sure enough, good things don't work but bad things work, so the bad expectations seem to have become a reality, and a new and energetic army has been mobilized!
"Fire the arrow!"
Dai Tuo shouted angrily again, and the sword in his hand stood firmly on the city wall.
Although the Jin army's lifeless attack method also put huge pressure on them. However, the Jin army as the attacker will definitely suffer the greatest damage.
Dai Tuo made a rough estimate and found that at present, they had achieved a casualty ratio of about one to three. In other words, for every three Jin soldiers who fell below the city wall, they could replace the life of one Shu soldier above the city wall.
However, this time his military order did not receive much response, and the sharp arrows flying into the air no longer looked like waterfalls or rain, but more like catkins flying by the pond in spring.
Two hours, calculated as four hours. The Shu army on the city wall had been fighting continuously for four hours, and it was still such a high-intensity battle. It can be imagined that they were physically and mentally exhausted at this time.
Moreover, when the horn sounded just now, they originally thought that the enemy army was going to retreat temporarily, but now it is like this. This kind of gap in their hearts will definitely have an impact on them.
All kinds of factors, taken together, the situation of the Shu army at Yangping Pass is not optimistic at this time.
Half of the 100,000 troops in Hanzhong are here at Yangping Pass. In other words, Dai Tuo now controls an army of 50,000.
And if there were 50,000 troops guarding the pass, there was no need for Tuo Tuo to mobilize all his troops to the city wall. In other words, Dai Tuo was also qualified to mobilize troops and horses to fight in batches like Li Jing.
However, after all, the cards he could hold were different. When Li Jing divided his five groups of troops into taking turns to fight, he still had more than 100,000 mobilizable troops in his hands.
However, Tuo Tuo could only be divided into two groups, or at most three groups to fight in turns. The Jin army has just retreated one force. Dai Tuo is not qualified to retreat with one force and fight with another force like the Jin army. At least he has to wait until he can survive this round. .
"Li Jing, this madman!" The more he directed the soldiers to resist, the more he began to realize that something was wrong. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and Dai Tuo seemed to have noticed something.
However, it was precisely because he noticed something that Dai Tuo became more and more frightened.
