"The marshal has ordered people to destroy the suspension bridge outside the city and all the ladders used by the enemy to cross the river. The main force of the Feng Army can no longer come to reinforce. All the soldiers will join me in fighting the enemy bravely." While continuing to fight the enemy, Lan Xu said After confirming that Lan Wu's plan was successfully implemented, he deliberately shouted loudly: "The enemy troops entering the city are only vanguards. The generals will follow me to kill them without leaving any trace."
Seeing that the enemy's morale was weakening and they had a chance to win, Lan Xu, who had been waiting for a long time, was extremely excited. In order to avenge his brothers who died at the hands of the enemy, he would lead the Xing Army to fight to the death with the Feng Army.
Under Lan Xu's repeated emphasis, all the Star Army officers came to understand. Although they did not know how Lan Wu destroyed the suspension bridge and the enemy's ladder, they all knew that the number of enemy troops would only increase. The less.
After confirming that they had great hope of victory, the star army generals already understood that they had an absolute numerical advantage. The next thing they had to do was to kill all the enemy troops crossing the river. With the fighting spirit rising, many star army officers even more Spontaneously they shouted: "Kill these enemy soldiers and avenge our brothers."
Taking the lead from those people, more and more Star Troops started shouting. For a while, the Star Troops were shouting and killing each other. The overall morale was unprecedentedly high. Even the injured Star Troopers burst out with huge power at this moment. One by one, the Feng Jun in front of them was beaten to a loss.
"The suspension bridge is broken, and the main force of the Feng Army cannot cross."
"With the ladder gone, the Feng army cannot retreat."
…
In order to lower the morale of the enemy troops, some people in the Star Army shouted loudly like this.
On the other hand, the Feng Army, after the Star Army fought back, fell to the ground one after another. Many Feng Army people have a fear of losing their retreat deep in their hearts, especially since they don't even know the specific situation in the rear. In this situation Under the circumstances, they simply did not have the courage to continue fighting against the Star Army.
As the suspicions in their hearts continued to increase, the Feng Army lacked the command of the generals above and without Zhao Tianyi to take charge of the battle. They felt that they had no intention of fighting alone. If the Xing Army hadn't pressed too hard, they would have given up directly. He resisted and fled outside the city.
The battle lines in the city continue to shrink, and the Feng Army outside is still unable to squeeze in. The situation below the city has always given Zhao Tianyi and the Feng Army generals a feeling of being evenly matched. Therefore, even though the number of Feng Army crossing the river has been greatly reduced, they still can't squeeze in. Not realizing that something was wrong at all, Zhao Tianyi wanted to decide whether he should continue to send troops into the city or retreat based on the battle situation.
Time passed slowly. Due to the delay in receiving further combat instructions from Zhao Tianyi, the Feng Army in the city had no morale at all. The morale of the troops was in chaos, morale was low, and the formation was in disarray, causing many star troops to successfully rush into their defense line. , and kill them all without any fighting spirit. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
Not long after, the Xingjun stepped on the corpses on the ground and pushed the battle line forward a few meters. Many people had rushed into the Fengjun camp, constantly breaking through the defense line that the Fengjun finally formed. Those small groups of Fengjun who were isolated , neither the cavalry nor the infantry had a chance to survive. After being surrounded by the Star Army rushing up from behind, there was only a dead end waiting for them.
Feng Jun's casualties were increasing by the hundreds, and the situation was extremely bad. Compared with the situation below the city, the situation above the city was not much better.
After learning that the suspension bridge was broken, Feng Jun on the city couldn't stop looking down. After seeing with their own eyes how many of the suspension bridges and ladders were damaged, the ten-meter-wide moat was like an abyss that instantly swallowed up their courage. Even the bravest Feng Jun could no longer remain calm.
The morale of the army was disorganized and morale was low. Without receiving instructions from Zhao Tianyi for a long time, the generals of the Feng Army were uncertain about their thoughts, leading to chaos at the top and bottom.
Contrary to the situation of the Feng Army, the morale of the Star Army has greatly increased. Even the most ordinary soldiers have shown extraordinary bravery. One by one, the Feng Army has fallen in front of them. The Star Army is now unstoppable. If Zhao Tianyi is still undecided, then What awaits Feng Jun will be a big defeat.
In the main hall, Lan Wu continued to receive news from outside. The current situation was also beyond his expectation. However, except that the time was earlier, everything else was proceeding according to the plan. It could be said that everything was under his control.
The next development of the situation still depends on how Zhao Tianyi decides. If Zhao Tianyi chooses to withdraw his troops in time, the final outcome may not meet his expectations. If Zhao Tianyi chooses to continue to advance, the outcome between them is not certain for the time being. Zhao Tianyi has been undecided for a long time, and it is in his best interest to delay the opportunity to fight.
At the same time, the Feng Army archers by the river were still shooting randomly at the river. Many of them had unknowingly used up the arrows in their quivers, and then they could only stare at the river that had completely returned to calm.
Almost all those who could move in the river were Feng Jun who had fallen into the river before, but no matter how those people shouted, they were still regarded as targets by the people on the shore, and eventually died in the hands of their own people.
Many people were shot until their flesh and blood were blurred. The blood flowed uncontrollably, turning the river black. In the light of the fire, the originally reflective river surface no longer had a trace of light. There were floating corpses everywhere. The smell of blood was pungent. If the Star Army could still survive Continuing to hide in the water is really a skill.
Accompanied by several generals, Zhao Tianyi was patrolling along the river bank. The generals next to him kept reporting to him the situation. Although Zhao Tianyi had also issued instructions to the siege soldiers to continue the attack, the straightforward order seemed It’s hard to have an effect, far less effective than what the Star Army did.
Zhao Tianyi would feel nervous every time he looked towards the other side. Now the Feng Army on the other side had lost the command of their commander, and they all stopped. The formation was in chaos and there was no discipline at all. He was very dissatisfied with the performance of those soldiers and could only let the following The general urged those people to join the battle, but the effect was not great. Firstly, they could not squeeze into the city, and secondly, there was no shortage of people in the city.
Now some of the Feng soldiers who had crossed the river even wanted to come back through the remaining ladders, but there were still some archers on the other side of the river holding bows and arrows at them, and they did not dare to act rashly.
For those soldiers, just thinking about the lack of reinforcements after rushing into the city, they did not have the courage to move forward. No matter how the captains shouted, they just stayed where they were.
There was a large group of Feng troops thirty meters from the city gate to the river bank. Those people were waiting for further instructions from Zhao Tianyi.
"Marshal, the battle situation in the city seems to be at a stalemate, and there has been no improvement in the city. What should we do next?" The situation is urgent. A Feng Army general accompanying Zhao Tianyi is really worried about the situation in the city. When he thinks about what will happen if the Feng Army in the city If they were defeated, they would lose all chances of winning, so he couldn't help but said: "If this continues, our personnel in the city will definitely not be able to hold on for much longer."
After being unable to attack for a long time, their losses increased. Once the casualties reached a certain level, even if they fought with the Star Army in the end, both sides would suffer losses. They are proud of themselves, but this war involves too much, and they dare not give Zhao Tianyi casual advice.
"Marshal, when our army was crossing the river just now, we unexpectedly brought many ladders to the city for use. Do you want people to carry all those ladders back, and then arrange for the personnel to continue crossing the river or retreat?" The city is still leaning on Some ladders are longer than ladders. If they get all those ladders, they can help their soldiers cross the river in large numbers, but now they don't know whether they should go over or come back.
Following the pointing of the general who spoke, Zhao Tianyi also looked down the city. The several hundred meters long battle line was full of ladders and ladders of different lengths. They could indeed be used, but were they used for advancing or for withdrawing troops? , for a while, he still couldn't make up his mind. Lan Wu's many strategies had disrupted his plan and made him suspicious.
Judging from the fact that he had not gained an advantage in the city, Zhao Tianyi felt that the resistance of the Star Army was very tenacious. He turned around and looked at the infantry phalanx behind him. Since the suspension bridge was broken, although he asked people to continue passing by, those soldiers were no longer what they were before. So brave.
Their morale has dropped a lot. If the ladder is built again, Zhao Tianyi is worried that his soldiers will come back along the ladder. Once someone retreats, it will definitely affect the other Feng troops who are fighting. After taking a long breath, Zhao Tianyi said The destruction of the suspension bridge gave them a new understanding of the magnitude of their impact.
The siege plans they made before were all related to crossing the river. Now that they have lost the main bridge and there are not enough spare ladders, everything has become difficult. Although he does not want to accept the facts, everything is before him and he cannot escape. Now The suspension bridge was completely destroyed and the massive damage to the ladders had already affected his will to fight.
"Marshal, what should we do next?" After receiving no reply from Zhao Tianyi for a long time, a Feng Army general couldn't help but press the question again.
"The Feng army has been defeated." Before Zhao Tianyi could speak, repeated shouts suddenly came from the city, and the sound became louder and louder. Soon Zhao Tianyi and others could hear clearly.
