182: Defeated like a mountain, the end of the allied army in Xining!
The shocking sound of war drums was deafening.
The city wall of Tianlang Pass is only a few hundred meters long, with stunning cliffs on both sides.
The warriors of Yan Yan's army wore armor weighing hundreds of kilograms and carried a nearly twenty-meter-high siege ladder as they moved forward desperately.
"Put it, put it, put it..."
On the city wall, thousands of black-clad archers, under orders, rained down arrows.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Countless arrows hit the strong man's body, sparking sparks.
Each of these warriors is nearly two meters tall and weighs three to four hundred kilograms. Each one is extremely powerful and wears hundreds of kilograms of armor. They are completely invulnerable to ordinary bows and arrows.
Braving the rain of arrows, hundreds of strong men continued to approach the city wall.
Behind them, thousands of elite swordsmen hid behind the huge wooden shield wall and advanced step by step.
Despite this, under the dense rain of arrows, screams continued to sound, and people continued to fall.
"Suppress with bows and arrows." Yan Yan ordered.
Suddenly, hundreds of large crossbows and thousands of archers fired at the city wall.
Shooting from the bottom up is very passive in itself. Therefore, you only want to suppress the opponent's archers without expecting to cause many casualties.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The war drums were deafening, and the fire at Tianlang Pass soared into the sky.
A full quarter of an hour later, hundreds of strong men finally carried the first batch of siege ladders under the city wall, and then with a roar, they set up the siege ladders on the nearly 20-meter city wall.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..." Dozens of hundreds of siege ladders were slapped on the city wall and set up.
Then, four strong men desperately pressed the siege ladder against the city wall.
"Push it down, push down the siege ladder..." the officer on the city wall shouted loudly.
But the siege ladder built by Yan Yan's army was terrible. The height was almost the same as the city wall. It didn't show its head at all and couldn't be pushed down.
"dash forward……"
Nearly two thousand elites climbed up the siege ladder.
The first ones to climb up the siege ladder were all elite warriors. They held huge shields in their hands to block arrows, stones and rolling logs for the brothers below the ladder, so they were called shield warriors.
These shield warriors cannot die. Once they die, there will be no one to block the rain of arrows and rolling stones for the soldiers behind them.
"Smashing stones, rolling logs..."
Following the order, it was like a rain of stones falling on the city wall, with hundreds of kilograms of stones falling fiercely.
Hundreds of kilograms of rolling wood rolled down like crazy.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
The shield warrior of the Silver Wolf Legion. Braving the astonishing rain of stones and rolling logs, he climbed up step by step.
Seen from a distance, dozens of siege ladders look like big snakes, and they are all densely packed with people climbing up like ants.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
One after another, huge rocks hit the large stainless steel shields, but these shield warriors only shook for a while. The huge shields still protected the soldiers behind them.
Zhen Ning and Nurdan were shocked. Did they have to rush to the city wall in the first round of attack?
"Is the oil ready?" Nurdan shouted loudly.
"Soon, soon..."
Zhen Ning said: "You don't have to wait until it boils. Break it down now and light it on fire."
"yes!"
Then, pots of oil were brought to the city wall.
Yan Yan glanced at Fen Mo beside him, and the two of them bent their bows and set arrows.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Yan Yan's cultivation was astonishing, and he used his spiritual power to aim and kill while alive.
Fen Mo was born with a talent for marksmanship. He almost didn't need to aim and hit wherever he pointed.
Suddenly, the soldiers who had lifted the oil pan and had not had time to pour it over, the huge oil pan overturned and splashed everywhere.
"ah……"
Even when the oil is half boiling, it is so amazing that it can cook people alive immediately.
Yan Yan shot away with a rocket.
"boom……"
Suddenly, the oil poured on the ground ignited, causing a raging fire.
Turing Duo was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. The battle situation was so shocking from the beginning.
Looking at the posture, it seemed as if the first wave of Yan Yan's army was about to rush onto the city wall.
"Archer, suppress." Turing Duo ordered.
This time she came to Tianshui City with only a hundred people. The elite officers have been sent to Nurdan's 10,000 rebels to command each hundred-man team to fight.
In addition, he also brought three shooters, all of whom were dragon shooters, the treasures of the Turing family.
After Turing Duo gave the order, the three dragon archers began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
The dragon archer shoots an arrow, which is certainly extraordinary.
Immediately, Yan Yan and Fen Mo were completely suppressed, barely able to show their heads and unable to shoot.
At this time, you can see the difference between marksman talent and elite shooters.
Yan Yan's arrows were more accurate and stronger, but he relied entirely on his spirit and strength. Now that the opponent's three dragon archers began to suppress them, Yan Yan was almost unable to fight back.
Because Yan Yan’s archery requires mental strength to aim, time, and exposure.
But Fen Mo was different. He didn't show his head, but he could still shoot arrows based on his feeling. He could almost hit the target if he shot an arrow casually.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Moreover, he shot five arrows in a row. Almost every time, he could hit the soldier carrying the oil pan.
Turing Duo saw this and said sternly: "Why don't you suppress the opponent's shooter?"
"Miss, the opponent is a talented shooter." A dragon archer said: "He shoots completely based on feeling. He doesn't need to aim at all, and he doesn't need much mental power. It's difficult for us to suppress him."
Turing Duo asked: "What's his level of shooting skills?"
"Looking at the speed and power of his arrows, he should be an intermediate archer." Dragon Archer said.
Turing Duo was shocked and said: "Two dragon archers, can't they suppress a mid-level warrior archer?"
This is the fact, the talent for marksmanship is incredible.
However, it is not enough for Fen Mo to be a marksman.
There were still a lot of oil pans splashing down on shields and siege ladders.
Then a rocket came down and burst into flames.
Huge shields burned, siege ladders burned.
"Huhuhu..."
In the fire, the warriors holding their shields finally couldn't bear it anymore and swayed slightly.
"Bang. Bang, bang..."
The terrifying boulder crashed down fiercely. The warrior holding the shield high finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell down from the ladder more than ten meters high.
Then……
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Countless bows and arrows were shot down, huge rocks and rolling trees were smashed down, and hot oil was poured down.
"Ah..." The miserable howl could be heard endlessly.
In just a few moments, all the soldiers on the siege ladder died tragically.
They were either burned to death, stoned to death, or thrown to death.
Almost all the soldiers on each siege ladder are protected by the shield warrior at the front. Once this person falls, basically all the people on the siege ladder will die.
Like dominoes, after the first shield warrior falls, the second, third, fourth, fifth...
Yan Yan watched helplessly as shield warriors fell down one after another, and siege ladders were destroyed one after another. Dozens and hundreds of people died.
However, he didn't even twitch the corners of his eyes.
This is a siege battle that relies entirely on human lives. There are almost no bells and whistles. Whoever is stronger and who is not afraid of death will win.
"The second wave. Rush forward!"
Following his order, a second wave of hundreds of strong men braved the rain of arrows and rushed up carrying a huge siege ladder.
The shocking war drums are still deafening.
…
The entire Tianlang Pass has completely turned into a meat grinder.
We fought from midnight to dawn, then the sun rose, and then it was noon again.
Several hours have passed.
The entire battlefield was filled with countless arrows. Every inch of the ground outside Tianlang Pass was filled with arrows.
Yan Yan no longer knows how many times he ordered the ladders to be carried up to attack the city. Wave after wave of warriors rushed up, and wave after wave of siege ladders were put up.
One after another, the shield warriors couldn't hold on and fell down, and then everyone on the entire siege ladder died.
There are more and more corpses under the city wall.
Hundreds, thousands, two thousand, three thousand...
In the end, there were corpses everywhere.
Yan Yan's army was never able to charge up to the twenty-meter city wall.
Seeing that this last wave of siege troops was about to die, Yan Yan said with a cold expression: "The next wave, charge forward."
Tu An said in a trembling voice: "Sir, there is no next wave. Almost all the shield warriors have died in the battle, and there are not many strong men left."
Yan Yan's eyes trembled and he said, "How many casualties are there?"
"Five thousand." Tu An said: "We are the most elite troops, but the casualties exceed 30%, and collapse is imminent. We are field mercenaries and are not good at attacking cities."
Yan Yan said: "There is nothing you are good at or not good at. Attacking a city means taking lives."
Tu An said: "However, our people are not as many as the enemy. The enemy casualties in Tianlang Pass are very few now."
Yan Yan fell into silence.
Tu An said: "Retreat your troops. Sauron's army will arrive in a few hours. We will launch an attack at that time."
Yan Yan closed his eyes and said: "No, if we retreat now, all our previous sacrifices will be in vain, and all our previous efforts will be wasted. What we are fighting for now is blood and will."
Tu An said: "But, we have no one left. Looking at the brothers, too many people have died and we have no morale."
Yan Yan looked at the soldiers around him, and indeed, fear began to appear on everyone's faces.
The battle for these few hours was like a meat grinder. No matter how many warriors and soldiers were sent, they would all die.
No one can successfully climb the city wall!
The remaining 10,000 troops were indeed on the verge of collapse.
If any army suffers more than 30% casualties, the consequences will be very fatal. The slightest pretext will cause a huge collapse.
…
At this time, the Tianlang Pass seemed particularly excited after the dejection of yesterday had been swept away.
Because the enemy's attacks were repulsed one after another.
Lin Haijun and the black-clothed army were indeed elite, and they had repelled countless attacks from Yan Yan's army.
Now, the momentum of Yan Yan's army has been exhausted, and it is almost impossible to organize a new attack.
This battle was indeed thrilling. Yan Yan's first wave of attacks was so shocking that he almost reached the Tianlang Pass.
This made Zhen Ning terrified, thinking that Tianlu Pass was about to fall.
However, they did not expect that Yan Yan's first wave of attacks was also the only one that came close to the city. In subsequent attacks, they were all killed and wounded before they could barely climb fifteen meters.
"What are our casualties?" asked Ning.
"Less than a thousand." Nurdan said.
"Where are the casualties of Yan Yan's army?" Zhen Ning asked.
"More than five thousand." Nurdan said: "The casualties exceed 30%. This battle cannot be fought, and the enemy will retreat."
Zhen Ning sneered and said: "It seems that mercenaries are really not good at siege warfare. Once Yan Yan retreats, all the elite will immediately go out to chase them. By then, Yan Yan will be defeated like a mountain."
Nurdan said excitedly: "After Yan Yan's main army is destroyed, Sauron's mere few thousand people will not be able to accomplish anything major, and their defeat is a foregone conclusion."
The four-member team showed excited smiles on their faces, and victory was right in front of them.
…
"General, please retreat." Tu An said, "I will break up the rear."
Yan Yan shook his head and said: "No, once we retreat, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Moreover, after this energy is released, the enemy will take the opportunity to pursue us, and we will be defeated like a mountain."
Tu An said: "However, we can no longer organize a new attack. All the shield warriors are dead. As long as the enemy pushes a little, our army will collapse."
The corners of Yan Yan's eyes suddenly twitched again.
The mercenaries he led did not have much experience in siege battles. A real siege battle was far more brutal and terrifying than imagined.
No wonder they say that a siege requires at least two or three times the military strength to carry out a siege. Because it relies entirely on piles of corpses.
Yan Yan's military strength is only 15,000, which is less than Tianlang Pass's 19,000.
Now there have been five thousand casualties. Obviously, this consumption of flesh and blood has only reached half. If we want to take Tianlang Pass, we will need at least 20,000 people, and at least several thousand more people will die.
However, he no longer has any charging warriors on hand.
"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!" Yan Yan said decisively: "If we retreat now, we will definitely lose."
Tu An said: "But... we have no charge warriors, no shield warriors."
Yan Yan took a huge shield and shouted: "All centurions, thousands captains, all mid-level warriors, high-level warriors, come out!"
Suddenly, nearly a hundred people walked out of the army array. These people were all officers of the Silver Wolf Legion and all middle- and high-level warriors.
"All warriors, carry all the remaining siege ladders." Yan Yan then ordered.
Immediately, the remaining warriors came out carrying dozens of siege ladders.
This is already the last siege force of Yan Yan's army.
Yan Yan shouted loudly: "This is our last strength. All the officers of the Silver Wolf Legion and I will take the lead in the charge! Today, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! Charge up and take the Tianlang Pass!"
Seeing the general and all the middle- and high-ranking officers leading the charge, the originally low morale suddenly perked up.
The blood of all soldiers boiled again.
"kill……"
Yan Yan led hundreds of middle- and high-level warriors, hundreds of strong men, and thousands of elite infantry to make the final charge.
…
There was a sudden shock in Tianlang Pass. I didn't expect Yan Yan to be so decisive.
"Block them, block them..."
"Archery, archery..."
"Smashing stones, rolling logs..."
"Pour the oil on it, pour the oil on it..."
The final war drum sounded again.
Yan Yan and a hundred middle- and high-level warriors held up large shields to protect the soldiers below, and climbed up along the siege ladder, braving boulders, arrow rain, and boiling oil.
This is the final offensive force.
Yan Yan let out a loud roar, and he walked as fast as flying on the siege ladder.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
A few minutes later, he rushed directly to Tianlang Pass and drew his sword.
For the first time, Yan Yan's army attacked the city, even though that person was himself.
"Shua..." He swung his sword fiercely.
Suddenly, the dozens of black-clad troops in front were all cut off by Lazy Yao.
Because of Yan Yan's breakthrough, a gap appeared in the defense on the city wall. The Silver Wolf Legion behind them surged up like a tide.
"Block, block, kill Yan Yan!"
Immediately, countless masters from the Zhenning coalition forces rushed towards Yan Yan desperately.
Three dragon archers, shooting arrows like crazy.
Yan Yan is completely one against ten, one against one hundred!
The big sword and giant shield in his hands completely turned into his weapons. His whole body seemed to have turned into a war machine, and everything he passed was completely shattered into pieces, and the dragon power in his body was also consumed crazily.
The second person to climb the city wall was Tu'an.
Then, the third, the fourth, the fifth...
More and more mid-level and high-level warriors are charging up the city wall, and behind them, more and more Silver Wolf Legions are charging towards the city wall.
Hundreds, thousands, two thousand, three thousand Silver Wolf Legion soldiers rushed to Tianlang Pass.
I don't know how many people died, but the Silver Wolf Legion finally rushed to the city wall and engaged in a hand-to-hand encounter with the enemy.
"Block it, block it...kill them..."
In the castle not far away, Zhen Ning was immediately frightened when he saw all this.
"Press up, everyone, press up."
Immediately, more than 10,000 coalition troops swarmed forward.
The two armies were fighting madly on the city wall several hundred meters away.
At the same time, suddenly a burst of smoke and dust appeared behind Tianlang Pass.
After a short moment, Sauron led two thousand cavalry into view.
Zhen Ning's expression changed in shock: "Shouldn't Sauron arrive only at night? Why did he arrive so quickly?"
…
Why did Sauron arrive so quickly? Of course, he left behind the three thousand infantrymen and directly led the two thousand cavalrymen. He did not skimp on the horse power and ran as fast as he could, so he arrived at Tianlang Pass half a day in advance.
Looking up into the distance, I saw that Tianlang Pass was already in a mass battle, with murderous intent rising to the sky.
Sauron pulled out his giant sword and roared: "We are not too late, our comrades are fighting bloody battles. Go ahead and harvest your gold coins."
Immediately, Yan Naier jumped slightly, also rode on the liger, and sat in front of Sauron.
"kill!"
Sauron took the lead, and the two thousand cavalry behind them brandished their swords and swept towards the Tianlang Pass.
At this time, those defending the back of Tianlang Pass were the rebel lords of Nurdan and others, totaling four to five thousand people.
but……
Even though there were horses and fences, the liger leapt forward fiercely, and Yan Naier's sword slashed down wildly.
Suddenly, a row of wooden walls collapsed.
Then, the liger carried Sauron and Yan Naier on its back, turned into a killing machine, and plowed through them.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Countless blood splattered, and countless heads flew wildly.
From this gap, two thousand cavalry surged in.
The 4,000 lords' rebel formation in front only blocked it for five minutes, with less than 200 casualties, before it completely collapsed, howling like ghosts, and turned to run away.
The second-line army is the second-line army.
Sauron led two thousand cavalry, like a sharp sword, piercing the back of Tianlang Pass.
When Princess Zhenning saw this scene in the castle, her heart suddenly throbbed.
She was once only one step away from victory, but now, it's completely over.
The end of the Tianlang Pass army has officially arrived!
The end of the Ning coalition is coming!
