"Based on current visual estimates, we can last for another three days at most!"
Fu Baoguo closed his eyes tightly. For a moment, he felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted. If he didn't try hard to hold on, he would almost collapse to the ground!
Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost here, is it going to be impossible to hold on after all
Originally, Fu Baoguo only thought that Iron Bones could hold on for at least twenty days under his own control!
Unless you are faced with the tragic situation of having no available troops, Iron Bone Pass will never be lost. Even though Han Shanhe has great abilities, he can only attack and defend in a disciplined manner here!
After fighting for a period of time, reinforcements continued to arrive, especially the arrival of the Western Army, which gave Fu Baoguo a lot more confidence.
Qiu Jianhan has been told by military intelligence that Marshal Qiu Jianhan has also led his army to rush here. It will take at most one day to reach Iron Bone Pass!
This made Fu Baoguo's hope much greater. He was confident that he could definitely hold on until the arrival of Marshal Qiu, unite his troops and fight the cold mountains and rivers together. Then the Yutang Army only needs to hold on and hold on until Lord Nine. If we come to help, we can ensure complete stability on the Eastern Front.
Or maybe they just keep pushing forward, exhausting their efforts, dragging down Dongxuan's army of one million, until both countries are no longer able to survive, and the war will naturally end!
Even though Dongxuan mobilized all the troops from the whole country to attack, Tieguguan Pass also had reinforcements from all the Eastern Front troops, elite Western Front troops and Marshal Qiu Lao. Their strength was not too inferior, especially since they had Iron Bone Pass as a basis for not breaking through the heroic pass. In the final battle, the defending side has the upper hand. If the losses continue, based on the current ratio of casualties, Dongxuan will suffer the greater loss!
In this battle, Yutang's chances of winning have increased from 10% to 30% now, and the tide has turned!
but…
Fu Baoguo discovered that the assessment he made was just wishful thinking. Han Shanhe was indeed recognized as the number one general in Tianxuan. He didn't know if he had been planning this from the beginning. If that was true, then He is so terrible!
Such an astonishing change occurred in the city wall of Tieguguan, which made Fu Baoguo despair!
The old marshal's troops are about to arrive, and the war situation will be reversed. But at this most critical moment, a flaw appears, and there is a problem with the city wall. But in such a location, there is no way to even renovate it!
"Could it be that God wants to destroy me, and God wants to destroy me, Yutang?!"
Fu Baoguo let out a long sigh.
…
"Chance!"
The opportunity Han Shanhe had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived!
"The whole army is pressing forward! We must take the Iron Bone Pass in the next day and night!"
Han Shanhe issued a general order: "At any cost, all casualties! Even if all the 300,000 soldiers participating in this battle are shattered, we must win the Iron Bone Pass!"
All Dongxuan soldiers were puzzled by Han Shanhe's crazy order.
But despite the confusion, this order was strictly implemented to the letter.
Everyone went out to prepare, determined to fight to the death.
Zhan Ge looked at his teacher: "Teacher, the situation we are most happy to see has occurred. There is a big problem with the opponent's city wall. It is foreseeable that Iron Bone Pass will become a target, but at this time, the opponent's resistance should be the strongest. At this time, an all-out attack at this time will inevitably increase huge casualties... This... "
It is simply unnecessary to pay such heavy casualties at such a time!
Zhan Song was full of doubts about this.
"Soldiers are very fast. We must capture Iron Bone Pass before Qiu Jianhan arrives. Otherwise... this opportunity will never happen again!" Han Shanhe sighed softly.
"It can be delayed for at least a month... There are pros and cons."
"The general trend is already leaning towards our side. Even if that old man Qiu Jianhan arrives, can the situation be reversed?" Zhan Ge still looked puzzled.
"Zhan Song, you are also a person who knows the military. Have you really not seen the current situation clearly? If this battle had not happened at this delicate moment, and there were flaws in the opponent's city wall, the battle situation in this battle would have been completely reversed, and the general trend would not be with us. It’s over!” Han Shanhe said in a deep voice.
Zhan Ge's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Teacher, our side clearly has the advantage in the current situation. Even if there is no breach in the city wall, conquering Iron Bone Pass is just a change in time. Why is this so?"
Han Shanhe shook his head and paused for a moment before saying: "This battle has brought Dongxuan's entire nation's war power together here. Although the momentum is huge, there are also many hidden dangers on our side. If it hadn't been for the four-nation alliance to finalize the decision and gather together to besiege Yutang, I would have I would never initiate such an extreme move. Originally, if Ziyou could kill Yun Zun in one fell swoop, he wouldn’t even have to kill him. As long as he was trapped, and with the simultaneous attack from all directions, Yutang would be destroyed in a short time.”
"But in the battle of Ziyou's capital city, Zilong City, Yun Zun not only broke out of the siege, but also completely shocked Ziyou's senior officials. Because of that battle, Ziyou Emperor realized his own shortcomings and resolutely ordered the Ziyou army to retreat. , At this point, Yutang’s western front will have no worries in a short period of time.”
"There is also the southern front. After Yun Zun left Zilong City, he unexpectedly rushed to the southern front and entered the battle forcefully. The southern front army suffered a huge defeat in Dayuan. Although the total strength of the Dayuan Empire was not much damaged, the morale was already gone. We have reached the lowest limit and can no longer fight! In the north, with Tie Zheng personally in charge, it is as safe as a mountain. Therefore, in the so-called four-party war situation, the only one who can capture Yutang is our eastern front."
"However, Fu Baoguo's strength far exceeded my expectations. The cavalry nuisance strategy he deployed had a considerable impact on our supply lines. The reinforcements from the Western Front that had just arrived also affected the precarious situation. Tieguguan has regained its position. If we wait for reinforcements from that old man Qiu Jianhan, I can conclude that even if Yun Zun does not join this battle and they continue to consume each other, even if Yutang is defeated, I, Dongxuan, will not We will definitely be dragged down! Now, do you still think the situation is really in our favor?"
Zhan Ge's face changed drastically, and he became cold for a moment.
"To conquer the Iron Bone Pass in the most extreme way, although many more people will die, it will buy us time. If we really have to wait for Qiu Jianhan to arrive, and then want to take the Iron Bone Pass, I'm afraid... it will cost 400,000, or even More…and time.”
"Why? The flaw already exists, and it can't be changed irreversibly!" Zhan Ge was puzzled.
Could it be that when Han Shanhe comes, he can build the city wall
Han Shanhe didn't answer, just sighed.
The heavy blizzard was falling again.
And in the wind and snow, the war drums in the Dongxuan Army Camp suddenly sounded loudly! Countless enemy troops rushed up like a tide. The long siege ladder is like a forest!
"Han Shanhe has discovered it, and he has already begun to launch an offensive on this point!"
Fu Baoguo shouted with all his strength: "All brothers who are capable, regardless of the Eastern Army or the Western Army, protect us with all our strength!"
"So many people are coming together? You don't have to be like this!" Sun Tzu Hu was startled.
"Hanshanhe's attack will be an unprecedented all-army attack, an extreme offensive!" Fu Baoguo closed his eyes: "We must also go all out! Otherwise... before the arrival of the old marshal, Tieguguan will disappear. We lose it in our hands! If that happens, Yutang will really be in danger!"
This is a battle destined to be miserable!
And this day is the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month!
Many years after the war, everyone in both countries remembered this day.
Because this day has become a common holiday in both countries.
In Dongxuan, it is called: Fighting Soul Festival.
In Yutang, it is called: Loyal Soul Festival!
Every day on this day, the entire Dongxuan Empire would be silent and take a day off.
As for Yutang, every day on this day, the whole world becomes pure! The incense candles are overwhelming!
This battle was so brutal that after the fight, whether it was Yutang or Dongxuan, even the elite veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles and died, the hard-blooded men who had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, were still fighting while fighting. Howling and crying!
It’s so miserable!
There is a fierce battle almost all the time on top of the Iron Bone Pass.
No, it’s either almost or all the time fighting!
Many Yutang soldiers, who had been struggling to hold on and were exhausted, even used up their last bit of strength. When they saw the enemy rushing to the top of the city, they rushed up with their own flesh and blood, hugged the enemy, and rushed down as high as ten meters. The five-foot city wall was smashed into meat patties below!
This is the last resort. We will die together with the enemy, and we will not lose money in the end!
At this time, people were falling on the city top like dumplings, and the shouts of killing were intertwined and kept coming.
The surging hot steam rushed high into the sky, melting the falling snow directly in mid-air, turning into drops of rain falling down.
But even if it rains, it can't dilute the gurgling blood on the ground!
On such a freezing day, countless soldiers were shirtless, with disheveled hair, fighting with an almost crazy attitude.
**Revealing a body of criss-crossing scars!
A soldier's scars have always been medals of glory, and they are all revealed in front of others at this moment!
Really, regardless of whether we are the enemy or ourselves, we are all fighting like crazy!
The sound of drums is loud!
Fu Baoguo shouted the order at the top of his lungs: "Cavalry! Go to battle!"
In order to reduce the pressure on the city wall, the time has come when the cavalry must go into battle.
Once out, it’s a fight to the death!
"For Yutang!"
"For my parents!"
"For brother!"
"kill!"
The closed city gate suddenly opened, and the Yutang cavalry rushed out with the force of an angry dragon. With such force, the Dongxuan soldiers who were attacking the city were smashed into pieces, and they were completely defeated. However, the cavalry army immediately fell into Among the crowds of Dongxuan’s army!
There are too many Dongxuan troops in front of us. Even with the charge of the cavalry army, they cannot be dispersed, broken, or broken!
The dense rain of arrows fell like a downpour. At the moment it fell, whether it was rain or snowflakes, they were blocked by the rain of arrows!
The cavalrymen rushed back and forth among the enemy formations like angry dragons, trying their best to disrupt the rhythm of the siege reinforcements.
The Hanshanhe headquarters on the other side responded quickly. The old rival Black Cavalry was already ready and waiting for the arrival of Yutang Cavalry!
During this period of time, the Yutang cavalry has been stealing the show, and the black cavalry has long been itching with hatred. When they saw the cavalry finally entering the frontal battlefield, they naturally rushed forward immediately, and the two sides launched the most extreme fight. !
A large man on cavalry and his three brothers were separated from his team by the enemy. He fought hard and was invincible. The black cavalrymen around him fell on their backs. However, at least twenty or thirty corpses fell down in a snap of his fingers. However, his three brothers also fell. They fell off their horses one after another and turned into meat.
Seeing that the big man on the cavalry was alone, the enemies who had already been killed swarmed around him, intending to cut the body into pieces with swords. Unexpectedly, the big man on horseback suddenly raised his knife to the sky and shouted like thunder: "Hold on. !”
The black knights all around were stunned when they heard this, and they all stopped in unison!
After fighting until now, no matter it is the Iron Cavalry or the Black Cavalry, even though they already have great hatred for each other, they still have the same level of admiration at the same time!
Iron cavalry, worthy of the name of invincibility!
Black Cavalry is worthy of the title of hero!
Facing the most powerful enemy they had ever seen in their lives, they were ordered to stop at the last moment. The officers and soldiers of the Black Cavalry unanimously took back the swords and guns they had chopped off.
The big man stood proudly on his horse and laughed loudly: "The Black Cavalry is indeed an elite who is qualified to fight with my Iron Cavalry brothers for a lifetime! Just because you stop now, I will think highly of you."
He raised his sword at an angle and said calmly: "The three brothers who followed me into the battle are the three brothers of my compatriots. Now, they have all gone. As the eldest brother, I can't let them end up in the underworld. You can’t even recognize your parents, right?”
"So, let me give them some grooming."
After saying that, he jumped down as if no one was watching, strode forward in the forest of black knights, looked for the bodies of his three brothers, and dragged them out one by one.
In an open space, he twisted his shirt that had already been soaked with blood, spat, and went to wipe his brother's face. However, the face became redder and redder, and the three people could no longer be seen. true colors.
"then!"
A black cavalry general suddenly shouted loudly, grabbed the white towel from his neck and threw it over. Another black cavalry soldier also took off his water bag and threw it over.
"Haha, thank you very much! I appreciate your kindness..." The big man dipped a white towel in water and wiped the faces of his brothers clean. Then he stood up silently and said loudly: "When you get there, Remember to tell your parents that we are here together to fight for the country, defend Yutang, and die on the battlefield, even if we die, we will be honored!"
"We didn't embarrass our parents! The only thing we can't do to our parents is that the four brothers didn't leave any blood to our Lao Qiao family!"
"This is all the fault of me as the boss. You went to serve your parents, so I don't have to go, brother. Such a serious mistake has passed, and it will only bring shame to my parents!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned to laughter, his white teeth exposed, and blood flowed from his chest and abdomen, but he seemed unaware.
The burly body turned over and mounted the war horse again. The long knife in his hand pointed forward: "Black Cavalry Warriors, thank you for the towel and water bag! However, as the invader and the invaded, which one of you will accompany me, Boss Qiao, on the road? ?!”
The Black Cavalry general's face was as solid as iron, with an inexplicable brilliance flashing in his eyes, and he said loudly: "You, Boss Qiao, are a hero, and our Black Cavalry brothers are cowards. However, now it is a battle between two armies, and we Black Cavalry will not be stupid. I’ll fight you alone! Arrow!”
At the command, the surrounding black knights cocked their bows at the same time, and their arrows locked onto Boss Qiao.
As the general said, we black cavalry are not cowards, but we know that the enemy will die, but we will not take the risk of losing an extra person to go with you on the road. We are not that stupid!
Just as Boss Qiao's laughter shook the world, arrows rained down like a waterfall!
Boss Qiao's laughter was still ringing in his ears, and the long knife in his hand turned into a bolt of lightning and came out. At the same moment, he and his horse had turned into a black hedgehog!
Iron hedgehog!
The long knife was like lightning, and it passed over the heads of the black cavalry soldiers present at extremely high speed, splitting a black cavalry man and his horse in half ten feet away!
Even if you are about to risk your life, you still have to save your life. If you are determined to die, how can you not make enough money!
"salute!"
The black knight general gave an order, and all the black knights around him raised their hands at the same time, saluting their enemy.
At the last moment of his life, he finally chose to let the black riders in front of him go because they gave him time, a towel and a water bag.
That final life-threatening knife was unstoppable, and no one present was confident that they could stop it!
At the last moment, Boss Qiao chose to throw the knife out and killed the enemy in the distance, but did not kill anyone around him!
This is his last gift in return!
Boss Qiao, who was like a human hedgehog, still had his last breath alive. He and his horse stood silently, his burly body still sitting on the horse, his back always straight. While the blood was dripping, he was on horseback, summoning up the last bit of strength to twist his neck, as if he wanted to look back and see the Iron Bone Pass where the fierce battle was taking place. However, his last movement, his last wish was suddenly frozen!
Stop moving!
Completely motionless!
The black cavalry general urged his horse forward, silently saluted, and whispered: "Don't worry, at least at the moment you died in battle, the Iron Bone Pass has not been broken yet!"
With a bang, Boss Qiao fell to the ground with his men and horses, as if his last wish had been fulfilled and he had no regrets!
…
The cavalry had only one mission this night, which was to rush into battle and reduce the pressure on the city wall to the greatest extent!
A total of five thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, and no one retreated, let alone escaped!
Everyone fought until the last moment!
The general who led the team had the highest cultivation level and the strongest combat power among the five thousand cavalry. In the end, he single-handedly charged left and right in the Dongxuan Formation. His bravery was unstoppable. Wherever he passed, the spears shot out like rain and the swords were like thunder. There was no one before him. One general!
There were enemies on both sides, and new scars appeared on his body. But he didn’t care at all!
At the end of the battle, he looked around and found that the black knights had regrouped and formed a formation, but his comrades were silent.
He roared, suddenly turned the horse's head, and roared like a thunderbolt: "Hanshanhe! Take your life!"
One person and one horse, like arrows, attacked the Chinese army camp where Han Shanhe was located!
He was able to storm the coach's camp alone among millions of troops!
Such an unwise move, but no one dared to laugh and ridicule, only to see the sound of his hooves sounding like thunder and the gun coming out like lightning!
He is still invincible against those who stand in his way, like wind and lightning!
As he rushed forward, more than seventy black knights were killed in his path!
"arrow!"
There was a loud shout in the distance, and millions of arrows rained down from all directions in an instant. It was a large-scale indiscriminate offensive, and it was also covered by many black cavalry soldiers gathered around the cavalry general!
There was nothing that could be done about it. The cavalry general charged into the battle forcefully. Although he was far away from seriously threatening Han Shanhe's life, Dongxuan's senior officials must not let this person advance like this, otherwise it would have a greater impact on our own side. Even if some of the Black Cavalry soldiers have to be sacrificed for this, it will not be hesitated.
Seeing the rain of arrows coming, the black cavalry general did not dodge, raised his gun and roared one last time: "The cavalry is here! Who dares to invade my country?!"
The crazy rain of arrows turned the cavalry general into a monument on the charge!
Even if he died, the war horse still maintained its charging posture. The knight on the horse still stood upright, with the spear still firmly in his hand.
His eyes, filled with hatred, stared fixedly at the direction where Han Shanhe's commander-in-chief's flag was flying!
His mouth was slightly open, as if he was about to let out another thunderous roar: "The cavalry is here! Who dares to invade my country?!"
"The cavalry is here, who dares to invade my country?!"
A black cavalry general shivered for no apparent reason.
"Who is this? They charged all the way down and killed more than four hundred of my brothers! I wish I could kill this beast with my own hands!"
No one answered.
"A generous burial!"
A black cavalry soldier slowly stepped forward and helped the cavalry general off his horse. However, he saw that his spear was shining coldly in his hand. No matter how hard the black cavalry soldiers tried, they could not pull it out.
The other hand, his sword, was also held in his hand, and he couldn't let go of his fingers no matter what!
He used his own life to interpret a sentence: No matter whether I live or die, I will always fight to the end until death!
"Bury the man, the horse, and the sword together!"
The black cavalry general finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Facing such an enemy, who can not admire him!
…
The sound of fighting suddenly became fierce.
On the top of the city, drums suddenly sounded loudly.
In the midst of a hail of arrows, the tall body of Fu Baoguo, the supreme commander of Yutang at Tieguguan, suddenly appeared at the top of the city!
"I am Fu Baoguo!"
Fu Baoguo's loud shout suddenly stirred up in the wind and snow like thunder and thunder, and the sound shook the whole world!
The entire battlefield, everything is heard!
"I'm here!"
"Life and death are here!"
"war!"
However, in just two sentences, there were only a few words in total, but Yutang suddenly felt like he had been given a shot of blood!
The coach comes to the battlefield in person!
Standing in the most dangerous place and watching our battle, we have nothing to hesitate!
Fight! Try your best! Fight to the death! Fight to the end!
"Fight to the end!"
"Protect my home!"
"Pak Ze for me!"
"For my parents!"
The soldiers roared like thunder. Their bodies, which had been sluggish due to fatigue, suddenly became more agile, and their combat power increased greatly, as if they were divinely assisted!
In the Dongxuan army formation.
"God-killing bow! Go all out and shoot Fu Baoguo!"
Countless god-killing bows and arrows merged into a surging river, drawing a dark trail in the air and attacking Fu Baoguo!
… …
