He couldn't tell where the shouts of killing came from, and the thunderous roars from both the enemy and ourselves resounded in Tang Yi's ears.
In just a few breaths, the pressure on Yuyi's troops was reduced sharply, and the enemy's attack was finally not as aggressive as it was just now.
The brave soldiers who were the first to board the city along the way finally stabilized the defensive formation. With the continuous support of the soldiers who followed the city, they gradually gained a foothold on the city wall.
Huang Zhong was holding a long sword. It was hard to imagine that a veteran of such an age would be so brave on the battlefield.
With a slash of the long knife in his hand, several city defenders were sent flying.
That's right, it wasn't being hacked to death, but being hacked away.
At this time, the veteran showed strength that was completely incompatible with his age. The soldiers who died under his sword often died not because of the sharpness of the blade, but because of the huge force added to the chop. die!
This wide-opening and wide-closing style of play allowed the soldier who had attacked the city tower to instantly stand on the city wall in a space that could accommodate subsequent soldiers to climb the city.
No matter how many people are in front of him, anyone who touches Huang Zhong's sword will have a terrible end, either death or disability!
The deputy general who defended the city would never have imagined that these generals who led the army to attack the city would be able to explode with such strong combat effectiveness once they went into battle in person!
This is also true. When the deputy general who defended the city received this information from the soldiers who reported the military situation, he knew that this time, the city wall would never be able to be defended calmly.
"Report to the general, the gate of Sishui Pass has been breached!" the soldier who came to report said with a trembling voice.
Finally, under the fierce impact of the battering ram for nearly two hours, the city gate of Sishui Pass finally reached its limit.
"Everyone who is resting will put on their armor and go into battle. They will block the city gate and pass on my military order. The enemies on the city wall must be knocked down! Do you hear me? It must be!"
The deputy general guarding the city had become a little hysterical at this time. Only he knew in his heart that once the city wall was lost, all the plans he had made before would become castles in the air and lose all meaning.
All things in this world will reach a state of balance after a period of time. Just like Luo Guanzhong's opening chapter in the story "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" clearly states that the general trend of the world must be divided for a long time and must be combined for a long time. Similarly, between this division and unity, the enemy and ourselves will be divided. The forces on both sides will always reach a dynamic balance.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the city defenders had slowly woken up from the panic caused by Huang Zhong's troops ascending the tower.
More and more defenders climbed onto the city wall again and started fighting with the enemy.
On one side are stone steps without any pressure, and on the other are ladders to the city that are disturbed by fire and smoke. No matter from any aspect, the defenders occupy a greater geographical advantage than the attackers.
The result of the death of more soldiers below the city wall is not that it provides more flammable materials for the fire under the city wall. In comparison, the doubled blood has become the best fire extinguishing agent.
Kerosene is flammable and will float on the blood. However, when there is enough blood, kerosene seems to have difficulty playing its own role and looks sickly.
Those flames that occasionally shoot up to the sky and crackle are like the last mournful cry of kerosene.
Once again, it became a tug-of-war on the city wall, but this time it changed from Tang Yiyi to Tang Yiyi.
Yi and Huang Zhong.
Another difference is that there are two more capable generals, Tang Yi and Huang Zhong, on the city wall.
None of the city defenders were the combined enemy of these two men. I thought that if Hua Xiong was here, the situation would be different.
Naturally, Sun Jian would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers on the city wall had no time to care about the situation below the city, he immediately dispatched heavy troops to press towards the city gate.
The opportunity to conquer Sishui Pass seems to be close at hand.
The captain of the sudden advance was a confidant of Zu Mao's subordinates. It didn't seem to make much difference to him whether he served under Sun Jian or in front of the veteran Zu Darong.
He is less than twenty years old, which is an extremely wild age.
For him, both General Zu and the lord himself are the people he admires most. Although he is young, he never hesitates to fight with his life, so he is also called a little mad dog by the lord.
And if he knew that someone had commented on the young master in this way, he would be even happier for it.
He is a standard direct descendant of the Sun family army. To be precise, he was originally one of the soldiers personally selected by Zu Mao in Changsha County. Whether in terms of combat power or loyalty, if he can be ranked fifth in the entire military camp, then the others The four must be the four veterans Han Dangzu Mao Cheng Pu Huang Gai.
He knew very well that the Lord must have a reason for sending him to the front line at this time. Maybe there was a harder bone to crack behind the city gate, but he didn't care. At worst, eighteen years later, he would still be a good man!
When he led his soldiers through the sea of swords and fire in front of Sishui Pass, even though his heart was strong enough, he still couldn't help but be calmed by the sight he saw.
There were blackened corpses and miserable screams everywhere. This was clearly purgatory on earth!
Without time to think, he silently led a group of soldiers to charge to the city gate, and finally saw the highlight of the trip.
The city gate is in dilapidated state and is in danger of falling down at any time. I don't know if there are any soldiers guarding the city gate to stop it. This extremely wide city gate is still insisting on refusing to fall, but it looks particularly desolate.
On his side, the extremely heavy battering ram was already somewhat deformed, especially the "pencil head" part, which was flattened by the impact, just like a sharpened pencil being broken.
Boom!
Under the control of our own soldiers, the dull crashing sound still persisted in everyone's ears, like a war drum urging death.
Finally, with a loud bang, the huge city gate could no longer withstand the continuous blows and fell backwards!
Along with the huge sound of the city gate falling, screams followed.
The city defenders who were originally behind the city gate were crushed to death by the city gate.
Yes, one piece.
This was the scene that appeared in front of the captain. Inside the city gate, an endless stretch of enemy troops were waiting in full formation. The moment the city gate fell, they burst out with extremely shocking shouts of killing and rushed towards their own side!
"kill!"
The most brutal hand-to-hand combat begins now!
In order to facilitate defense, the city gate is often designed with a narrow and long gate opening to prevent the invasion of too many enemy troops at the same time.
So this not-so-wide corridor has turned into a veritable meat grinder.
, every moment countless soldiers from both sides turned into ghosts.
Comparing the combat power, this kind of duel with no technical or tactical skills at all, it is obvious that the competition is pure strength, and in this regard, the Xiliang army defending the city can be said to be arrogant in the world.
The only advantage of Sun Jian's army at this time is that there are many people!
Since my combat power is not as good as yours, then I’ll just pile them up with you!
The captain who stood out from the front showed extremely brave fighting power at this time. He was truly worthy of the trust of Sun Jian and Zu Mao. With his own strength, he actually attracted the attention of most of the defenders. !
So the balance of victory began to tilt towards Sun Jian's army. After paying the price of nearly a thousand people on this corridor, Sun Jian's army finally broke into Sishui Pass.
The captain just wanted to send his soldiers to report the results of the battle to the Pioneer Army camp, but he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
In front of us, the defenders have been beaten back by our own side. What is strange is that there is no longer a steady stream of enemy troops guarding here. It seems that in an instant, those Xiliang troops who were not afraid of death just now, now Suddenly he turned into a rabbit and disappeared in front of his eyes.
Before he could react, he heard an echoing cry in his ears.
"put!"
What to put? Do you still have dogs?
The sound of arrows piercing the air answered the captain's question.
Then his body was pierced by countless sharp arrows, like a huddled hedgehog.
"Get back!" someone shouted.
However, this shout was still a step too late. At the moment when no one could react, the soldiers who had rushed out of the city gate were all shot into sieves and died instantly!
Looking forward through the city gate hole, the people who broke into the city gate finally discovered where these flying arrows were shot from.
"Quickly report to the commander, it's Wengcheng!"
Wengcheng!
The two towers are connected by a city wall, and the central part is a wide open space.
Sishui Pass is different from other places. Because of the obstacles of mountains, standing outside Sishui Pass, you can't see the scene inside the pass at all.
This Sishui Pass turns out to be not one tower at all, but two!
The side of the city where Tang Yi climbs is entirely covered with mountains and is not connected by a city wall. The only path connecting the two towers is only on the south side!
If all the army really enters Sishui Pass in accordance with Sun Jian's order, then it will really comply with the idiom - catching turtles in a urn!
It didn’t take too long for General He Jin to build this pass, so no one knew that when building this pass, the original design was to have two city gates, but between the two gates, there was no Jin actually built an urn city!
The first city gate is called Sishui, and the second city gate, those soldiers who were in a dilemma at this time could see two simple characters on it from a distance - Hulao!
If Liang Sicheng or Lin Biao were here, they would probably have chosen to fight each other on the city wall, and would never choose the city gate.
Because in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Sishui Pass was called Hulao Pass, and Hulao Pass was Sishui Pass!
At this time, on the tower of Hulao Pass, a neat row of soldiers were holding strong bows and arrows, aiming at the city gate of Sishui Pass. Anyone who dared to come in from there would be met with a lifeless end!
