The two powerful auras collided and exploded in mid-air.
The air waves turned into strong winds that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Although it was just a simple confrontation, the defender had an ominous premonition in his heart. The opponent's strength might be higher than his own. He couldn't help but think of the unlucky Jiang Qianshen, and a chill rose wildly, as if a thorn was on his back. He followed the direction of the strong wind and landed easily on the parapet. His eyes darted around and finally fixed on a young general in red clothes and silver armor, who was also looking at him at this time.
No-
To be precise, he was looking at his neck.
This discovery made the defender particularly angry.
He shouted angrily, "Who is coming?"
The voice of the young general in red and silver armor reached his ears clearly.
"Sun thief, it must be your ancestor who is resurrecting his corpse!"
It was an extremely young and frivolous response.
The guard's eyes were red with anger: "You are looking for death!"
The coalition's choice was a death wish in the eyes of the defenders. Without the morale bonus that comes with fighting generals, the coalition's siege equipment is insufficient and weak, while the defenders still have the steep pass to rely on. Could it be that they are really crazy and choose to fill the gap with human lives
In that case, let’s fulfill their wish.
The guard made up his mind and raised his hand: "Get up!"
As soon as the words fell, the Alliance launched another wave of arrow rain attacks, but this time they failed to land on the city wall. Outside Chaoli Pass, an illusory towering city wall rose from the ground. All the arrow rain was blocked by it, causing countless raindrop ripples.
"Who crossed the border?"
The sound seemed to come from the sky.
"Who crossed the border?"
It seemed like tens of thousands of people were shouting in unison.
Countless visible evil spirits surged up from the ground, and instantly transformed into figures dressed as soldiers, which quickly solidified over time. These "people" wore various types of armor, held different weapons, and lined up neatly. A rough visual estimate showed that there were about 40,000 people. In the front were three cavalry formations, with about 3,000 people. Although the number was small, they were all elite looking at their momentum.
Each cavalry formation had a general who was protected from head to toe by heavy metal, wearing heavy armor, holding a giant sword, with only a pair of eyes exposed. The warhorse under his crotch was also covered in heavy harness. When the horse's hooves hit the ground, the surrounding ground also trembled.
There were two clusters of cold white fire in their eyes.
Just riding on a horse gives people an extremely heavy feeling of oppression.
The guard drew his sword, pointed it at the city and shouted, "Kill!"
As soon as the words fell, the three cavalrymen who had been motionless suddenly moved. The central army formation was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the alliance army, while the left and right wing army formations circled in an arc, looking for the weak points on both sides of the alliance army and cooperating with the main force to cut off.
As the war horses accelerated in unison, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, and the sound of horse hooves surged like a tsunami, stimulating everyone's eardrums. In this unscientific world, as long as the martial spirit is sufficient, the war horse can always maintain its peak physical strength, and cooperate with the spirit of the war horse charge. Even so heavy, it can still achieve maximum acceleration within a hundred feet.
If we can't stop them, once they tear open a gap and rush into the formation, the losses will be extremely heavy. The Alliance Army also knows this and has been on guard since early on. Cavalry? They have it too.
Let’s not talk about the quality first, but the quantity is definitely high.
Not only cavalry but also powerful crossbows.
On the enemy's charge path, countless Wen Qi turned into barricades, rising from the ground, but they failed to cause much hindrance to them. They were all smashed by this huge war machine.
It was the first time that Chen Tang had seen such a scene. Although she had encountered barriers rising from the city walls during previous sieges, she had only heard of summoning "ghost soldiers" to fight but had never seen it with her own eyes. She now understood why it was so difficult for the allied forces to deal with Zheng Qiao.
They were a group of living people, not only had to fight a group of living people, but also had to fight these "ghost soldiers" in front of them. Every death on their side was one less, but the other side's "ghost soldiers" were dispersed, and as long as they provided enough national luck, they could continue to use them again next time.
However, this is not incomprehensible.
As a military fortress, Chaoli Pass's defense is naturally more than just a man-made natural barrier. It is impossible for it to be easily pushed down. Chen Tang patted Moto's neck, and the Motherly Sword in his hand turned into a long sword with a cold light: "Go!"
When facing enemy cavalry, the first priority is -
Don’t be scared, face it head on!
In short, Chen Tang went out to have fun again.
It was one thing for her to like to spend money, but if she didn't, then her subordinates would have to spend money. Chen Tang weighed his own life and decided that it was more cost-effective to spend money on his own. Chu Yao and the others just didn't keep an eye on him for a while, and Chen Tang had already rushed to who knows where.
Although the motorcycle is a mule, it is extremely large, and its tonnage is heavier than that of a heavy warhorse. It is fierce in fighting, and wearing full armor, it is like a land tank when charging. With the help of the charge spirit, even if it is stuck in a "traffic jam", it can forcefully break through a way out! Chen Tang flexibly switched between the long sword and the bone hammer.
Although armor protects the whole body, the skull and neck under the helmet are not made of steel or iron. If a hammer-like object with great force hits the head or neck, it can still easily kill a person. Even if he doesn't die, he will feel dizzy. If he loses his concentration for a moment in the melee, the end result is death!
A brave warrior can also release his martial energy.
Melee and ranged attacks, switch at will.
However, anything unexpected can happen on the battlefield.
Chen Tang's allies are Zhang He and Qian Yong. The relationship between the three parties is a bit complicated - Chen Tang has a grudge against Qian Yong, Zhang He is grateful to Qian Yong but the two are already estranged, and Chen Tang is wary of Zhang He. Because of the same goal, the three parties have to temporarily put aside their grudges and cooperate. However, there is no tacit understanding at all. This led to untimely support, and Chen Tang's troops were attacked. The soldier responsible for resisting the command and dispatch flag was lost and pierced through the forehead by an arrow.
The towering flagpole fell to one side.
Just as it was about to hit someone, a stream of martial energy rushed over. Her hands, stained with sticky blood, grabbed the flagpole and held on. Under her visor were a pair of resolute eyes. She roared, "Follow me!"
With one hand holding the flag and the other hand killing the enemy, she rode her warhorse through the blockade, suppressing the turmoil that had not yet spread, and stabilizing the situation. The flag stained with blood flew wildly as she charged. Her own soldiers followed the direction of the flag and charged to kill the enemy.
Bai Su originally wanted to save the flag, but was overtaken.
She paid attention to the person carrying the flag and recognized his identity.
It’s Yang Ying!
"Where's Wei Yuanyuan? Where did Wei Yuanyuan go?"
The garrison commander looked at the battle scene below the city, and his tension eased a little. These heroes alone were enough to give the alliance army a hard time. Chaoli Pass was temporarily safe, and they could buy time to prepare defense equipment and manpower. However, he looked around and found that his side was either the Chaoli Pass garrison or the people he brought with him. The former garrison commander Wei Shou was nowhere to be seen. For a moment, he was particularly annoyed.
At this time, a soldier brought back a message.
He was panting heavily, and before he could answer, the guard heard Wei Shou's impatient voice, cursing: "Are you the guard or am I the guard? When the enemy attacks, you just defend, why are you calling me? These little bugs from the Dragon Slaying Bureau can still shake Chaoli Pass, I think you are not in your right mind..."
The guarding general asked angrily, "Why did General Wei come so late?"
Wei Shou replied confidently, "I'm packing my things and getting ready to leave... Aren't you the ones who urged me to do that?"
When the garrison commander and Li He came to take over Chaoli Pass, they hinted to Wei Shou to report to Zheng Qiao as soon as possible. However, Wei Shou was a shameless person and said that he still had a lot of belongings to pack up and gave him a few days. The garrison commander did not want to anger Wei Shou and agreed. But now Wei Shou used this as an excuse to block him, and he was even more angry: "Chaoli Pass is in trouble. Since you are under the command of the king, you should go out to fight. Why do you have so many excuses?"
Wei Shou spread his hands and said, "I am here now. Just admit that you are incompetent. I have seen many such scenes when I was guarding the pass. I have never raised the barrier in such a hurry like you do. I can force them back in a few moves..."
He was just short of saying that the defender was no good.
The defender was so angry at his words that he felt dizzy. He pointed down and said angrily: "Before, they were all sheep attacking, but this time they are really attacking!"
Wei Shou was stunned, as if he just understood.
He was surprised and asked, "Are they serious? Are they crazy?"
The guard sneered: "It seems that he is really crazy."
The fighting below is intense.
Although the coalition's high-level warriors cleared the way and the army formation used morale as a shield to resist, a lot of morale and martial energy was consumed at the very beginning. When these heroes were repelled, the troops stationed in Chaoli Pass were still in full combat condition, and the coalition would be passive.
Wei Shou watched the fight for a while, his brows furrowed.
He asked the defender, "Why don't you open the city gates and go out to fight?"
The Heroic Spirits are fighting the enemy's main force, and the troops should follow to support them. Otherwise, at this rate of consumption, the Heroic Spirits will be repelled in no time, and the troops can only defend the city passively. If you can win the battle, fight, and if you can't win, hold on to the city to the death. However, Wei Shou's suggestion will obviously not be adopted.
"This doesn't seem to be General Wei's usual style." The guard narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not forget that Wei Shou's position was suspicious.
“… This general is not only good at defense.”
Wei Shou felt it necessary to explain himself.
Wei Shou really likes the turtle defense method, but that doesn't mean he will just defend himself. For him, defense or attack is essentially to maximize his own advantage. Why should he still passively defend when the fight is already going on
Chu Yao, that bastard, can testify that he is more patient than a turtle when defending, and crazier than a mad dog when attacking! Wei Shou remained calm on the surface, but in fact he rolled his eyes in his heart.
Since the garrison commander refuses to listen, I'm sorry.
Just after half an hour, less than 30% of the heroic spirits were left.
The main force of the coalition army, under the cover and support of the left and right armies, was about to rush to Chaoli Pass. The siege equipment transformed by morale had been deployed. Several catapults sent huge stones to the sky above Chaoli Pass, but they were all resolved one by one by the city's defense equipment.
The defenders watched more and more confused by the coalition forces' operations.
Without the morale bonus from the fighting generals, the morale of the soldiers alone can only provide a few siege weapons. At this stage, they are sent out one by one. When they are all exhausted, there is no spare energy to maintain the second half of the siege. It only increases casualties...
Wei Shou was also puzzled, and he took the initiative.
He looked at the guard with suspicion, stroking his beard, and said meaningfully: "Could it be that this makeshift team has a backup plan?"
