Where did the shouting of death come from?
The lieutenant's doubts were quickly answered.
Just when he had just returned to Hulao Pass, the soldiers on the walls of Sishui Pass had begun to retreat in an orderly manner.
Countless enemy troops actually poured in from that dark city gate!
The deputy general's pupils instantly filled with blood, and his whole body trembled with anger.
Where did so many enemies come from? !
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
He shouted orders.
What is unexpected is that the enemy general still refuses to give up and wants to attack Sishui Pass through the city gate. Do he really think that the archers behind Hulao Gate are just decorations?
He thought that the other party was overestimating his abilities, but he overlooked one thing.
All the defense of the open space in Wengcheng City is based on the fact that both city walls are in his own hands. Now the city wall of Bishui Pass is in Sun Jian's hands, which means that the current situation is completely different from before. Got it!
The walls of Sishui Pass are towering. Even if the siege soldiers come to the city, unless they are sharpshooters with amazing arm strength, it will be extremely difficult to cause effective damage and interference to the defenders of Sishui Pass.
But now that Sishui Pass has been abandoned by the defenders, the original archers in Sun Jian's army can finally play their due role at this time!
God is kind, today is a beautiful day with bright sunshine and no wind.
The arrows shot from Sishui Pass can be shot from the top of the city to the city wall of Hulao Pass without any effort.
Just as the deputy general who was guarding the city shouted to release arrows, waves of arrows were densely shot from the wall of Bishuiguan!
The rain of arrows came too quickly and was too unexpected by the defenders. Many people were watching the enemy troops pouring in from the city gate, but completely ignored the movement on the other side's wall.
Just three waves of arrow rain caused huge damage to the Xiliang army at Hulao Gate, so that it was extremely difficult to interfere with the enemy soldiers pouring in from the city gate.
Without the long-range support of archers, it is obvious that the deterrent effect on the siege army has been greatly reduced.
These siege soldiers began to climb Sishui Pass from the inside of the city wall. This route was obviously much more convenient than climbing the city ladder.
As a result, the defenders who were originally preparing to slowly evacuate the Sishui Pass city wall in an orderly manner were now in a miserable situation of being attacked from both sides and completely turned into a lone army on the city wall, just waiting to be broken down and cannibalized by the enemy.
The offensive and defensive sides were already standing on the same altitude, because the advantage brought by the geographical location was almost completely wiped out at this time.
"Surrender quickly! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
This rich shout came from the siege army. The attacking generals were very familiar with the sound. Miraculously, the defending sergeants also seemed familiar with it.
This is because they just heard this sound yesterday.
It seems that at this time yesterday, the voice shouted "Hua Xiong is dead!" outside Sishuiguan City.
"Hold it!"
The deputy general who was guarding the city almost had his teeth broken. He hid in the tower of Hulao Pass and shouted at the same time.
Unexpectedly, those arrows that originally rained down at Sishui Pass have now become the opponent's weapon against him!
Archers from both sides began to shoot at each other on the city wall, and people kept falling on the city wall. Although the defenders at Hulao Gate were greatly damaged by the opponent's sneak attack, it was already difficult to deal with those who poured into Sishui Pass. What a huge pressure it caused. However, after a quick adjustment, even with this shooting behavior, the enemy troops on the walls of Sishui Pass were still no match for the Xiliang Army.
But the lieutenant general who was guarding the city knew that without the convenient location of the two city walls, even one for two or even one for three would not change the fact that his side was defeated, and failure would only be a matter of time.
Sun Jian did not waste time on the city gate. The purpose of attacking Wengcheng from the city gate was just to climb the wall of Sishui Pass from inside Wengcheng more smoothly.
When the archers from both sides began to shoot at each other, the two sides began to fight and waste on the passage connecting the two city walls with gongs and drums. It was far more cost-effective than struggling to attack the Hulao Pass gate.
Soon, the original defenders at Sishui Pass were eaten away by the Seven Route Army, and the entire Sishui Pass finally fell into the hands of the vanguard army.
On that city wall, which was far from wide, but definitely not narrow, the two sides began a tragic exchange of lives.
In later world wars, this kind of battlefield had a very appropriate but extremely bloody name - meat grinder.
At this time, the seven generals responsible for attacking the city had gathered together on the tower of Sishui Pass, and everyone looked relaxed.
"Thank you for your hard work." Sun Jian cupped his fists and said in a deep voice.
"Lord, thank you for your hard work!" Everyone responded in unison with clasped fists.
Of course, except Tang Yi.
"General Tang, I will take credit for your first contribution in capturing Sishui Pass this time!" Sun Jian praised with a smile.
Everyone knew Tang Yi's cold temperament and didn't feel dissatisfied.
After learning the entire process of storming the city wall, Sun Ce's eyes were shining brightly when he looked at Tang Yi. In addition to the well-known love hidden within, Sun Ce was also cast with a layer of admiration.
"After the fight, let's talk about rewards based on merit." Huang Gai also admired the courage and ruthlessness of this girl, but he still interrupted Sun Jian's continued praise, "Master, why don't I come forward in person? How about taking down Hulao Pass in one go?"
Sun Jian suppressed his smile and shook his head firmly.
"Not urgent."
"What? There's no rush, what are you waiting for?" Cheng Pu said blankly.
"Although I had the courage to tell the commander of the Chinese Army that there were 20,000 Xiliang troops guarding the city at Sishui Pass, I didn't expect that there were actually two city gates here. Secondly, it was really unbelievable. Dong Zhuo's The number of soldiers sent to guard the border is far more than 20,000."
After a pause, he continued: "So it is better to let these defenders make full use of their talents and materials. I think there are so many Xiliang troops guarding the pass. Even if our department suffers heavy losses, it can be regarded as having an impressive relationship with the Chinese Army Commander. Convinced."
Everyone was stunned. Only Tang Yi softly let out an inaudible "Che" in the far corner.
"Reporting to the commander of the Chinese Army, our army has climbed onto the wall of Sishui Pass and is now fighting with the enemy on the wall. The enemy's resistance is tenacious and the two sides have fallen into a stalemate. Sun Jian will fight to the death to survive and die with Sishui Pass. Leader Yuan and all of you, please wait patiently for the good news." Sun Jian ordered.
"Here!"
"As for those of us, we'll be in peace now that we're here. Generals have been working hard, so why not take a rest here first." Sun Jian turned his head and smiled at everyone.
Just a few hundred meters away from the Sishui Pass Gate Tower in the Hulao Pass Gate Tower, a conversation was also taking place.
"Sir, I can't hold Sishui Pass any longer. Please show me a clear path!" The deputy general who was guarding the city was kneeling on the ground at this time, his words filled with incomparable sorrow.
"Now, I originally thought that with the advantage of Sishui Pass, you would be able to hold on a little longer. As long as you hold on long enough, then this place will become more and more important. Maybe Dong Xiangguo can send more people to support. I didn't expect that you only lasted for two days before the situation here was in danger. Two days was not enough for the messenger to go back and forth, hey." The man sitting in the main seat did not seem to be affected by the shouts of death outside, and was just minding his own business. Sighing to myself.
"The general didn't expect that the opponent would be so brave and unafraid of death. He actually climbed up the mountain wall and climbed up to the city. It was only because of his carelessness that he retreated steadily. But now that the matter has come to this, you have to help me find a way." The defender of the city. The deputy general said with a grimace.
"The other party has many people attacking the city, but there are few people defending the city here. It is not all your fault that there are any omissions. It is indeed my previous judgment of the other party that had some problems. Now that the matter has come to this, the only thing I can advise you is You must not give up Hulao Pass. Once the defeat begins, I am afraid that many more soldiers will be killed in the escape than those killed in the battle." The man pondered for a moment, and then said: "Suggestions for the current plan You defend to the end and try to kill the enemy's effective forces as much as possible. The more enemies you kill with your army, the less blame you will receive from Dong Xiangguo in the end. Maybe you just need to resign by then, and at least you can save your own life. .”
"But I... don't want to die here!" The deputy general's words already contained a cry.
"Then you find a subordinate to take command here, and you go to Luoyang quickly to report the military situation. It doesn't count as you running away from the battle. You have to pay attention to methods, comrade." The man sighed.
"General... I obey your orders! Thank you for your support, sir!" the deputy general said solemnly.
"No need to thank me, just go back and thank Mr. Wang. You don't have to worry about it. I'll talk to you later. You should just do your own thing properly. In addition, after returning to Luoyang, tell the news here Tell Mr. Wang everything, don’t hide anything, you have to clearly distinguish who is yours.”
"Here!"
The man stood up and stretched, seeming a little tired.
"Hua Xiong has also been killed for you. I have also told you the key points of defense. I am still a little dissatisfied with this assignment that was handed in at the end. Forget it, forget it. Thirty thousand versus five hundred thousand, it is not possible to achieve this level. Not bad, thank you for your hard work."
The deputy general raised his head and looked at the strange pair of red eyes in front of him, feeling a little distracted for a moment.
Qi Zhen stepped forward, patted the other party on the shoulder, and then walked out from behind the tower.
The shouts of killing were still ringing in his ears tirelessly. Looking at the endless plains in the pass, he still felt a little like he was in another world.
The shouts of killing outside the pass are loud, but everything inside the pass is quiet, and the sunny days are peaceful.
The huge contrast between the two made an indescribable feeling arise in his heart.
At this moment, he just thought of Tang Yi's brave and heroic appearance on the wall of Sishui Pass, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and be speechless for a while. Mobile phone users please browse to watch Game of Thrones for a better user experience.
