"Quick, charge forward!" Li Xingchen pointed the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
Countless figures passed him and rushed towards the Luzhai ahead.
This Tiangongyuan camp is not actually a camp in the traditional sense. It is just a circle of deer villages built based on the original buildings of Tiangongyuan. After all, Tiangongyuan is already surrounded by high walls, so building a wall would be superfluous.
Li Xingchen led his army to suddenly appear outside the Tiangong Courtyard, which really surprised the defenders. They almost subconsciously confirmed that Guo Liang, who had gone to Hedong to intercept Li Xingchen, had been wiped out, and the defenders in the Tiangong Yard were just Li Xingchen's mouth. You can lay down prey that can be eaten at any time without any leftover.
If Li Xingchen was just showing off his power outside the Tiangong Courtyard, then the generals guarding the Tiangong Courtyard could find excuses such as "This is just the enemy's scout" to appease his subordinates. However, Li Xingchen was not ambiguous at all when he met, and even saved the matter of shouting. , and directly began to lead the army to attack.
And it seemed that they had received the news a long time ago. Cao Zhong's troops under Li Xinchen, who were originally repairing at the Xihe Ferry, also attacked various defense lines along the mountain road at this time. Because of the lack of troops and the lack of reinforcements, the troops on the way up the mountain Several small passes were lost easily, and now Li Xingchen and Cao Zhong led their troops to attack the main stronghold of Tiangongyuan from two directions, with the potential to conquer the stronghold in one day.
Therefore, apart from the fact that Guo Liang's entire army had been wiped out, the defenders in the stronghold could not think of any other reason why Li Xingchen would suddenly appear here and have such sufficient troops to attack fiercely.
The arrows were all blown away by the wind and could not hurt the soldiers of Nanchen who were carrying the ladder and rushed up. It was not as difficult as when Cao Zhong attacked Xihe Ferry. Li Xingchen was not short of time yet, so he did not hesitate. Lift the simple ladder directly up the mountain.
At that time, Cao Zhong used plum blossom claws to directly climb the camp at the crossing of the Xihe River. This was to gain time, and secondly, to achieve an unexpected effect. After all, Cao Zhong did not carry any other baggage at the time, and it was impossible to stand on the river. Waiting on the other side.
Now facing the main stronghold of Tiangongyuan with tall walls, Li Xingchen could no longer use that method to take risks. What he needed was not to succeed with one blow, but to let his flag fly on the top of Tiangongyuan Mountain.
Aerial ladders were set up on the city wall, and Nanchen soldiers started to climb up using their hands and feet. Over their heads, wooden and rolling stones rained down one after another in the cold wind, but no one flinched or cried. When a person fell from the ladder, When it falls, another person will naturally top it.
This time Li Xingchen's attitude is very obvious. No matter the sacrifice or time, he only wants this copycat!
"Go!" Li Xingchen leaned on his Ziyun gun and stood behind the entire attack line. Since arriving at this mountain stronghold, he has launched three attacks without interruption, but it is obvious that the enemy has been prepared for a long time, although the arrows are not very good. It worked, but the wooden rolling stone never broke.
Li Xingchen didn't have many ladders and other equipment that he could use, and there weren't many people and horses that he could use.
Moreover, the only ones that could attack the camp were the few gentle slopes in front of Li Xinchen. It was impossible to move too many men and horses at one time, so Li Xinchen could only use the tactic of adding fuel to the attack to wear down the enemy's strength and fighting spirit bit by bit.
If we continue like this and attack four or five more times, Li Xingchen will have to give up this idea. The situation on Cao Zhong's side is not optimistic either. If he cannot capture this stronghold, it means that the two armies of Li Xingchen and Cao Zhong will have to fight hard.
For several days, there was no harvest worthy of such a huge sacrifice!
Although his heart was bleeding, Li Xingchen must continue to attack.
Now, in addition to hoping that Guo Liang can deal with it better than he imagined, he can only hope that this snowstorm can intercept Yuchi Jiong in Micang Mountain, otherwise it is not Guo Liang who will truly die without a burial place.
It was him, Li Xingchen, and so many soldiers.
This battle is now getting tough.
The soldiers in front subconsciously turned around and saw Li Xingchen standing upright. They immediately gritted their teeth and continued to charge forward without looking back.
Li Xingchen was standing at the position where their attack was launched, which was the dead line.
If you attack forward, you may be able to break through the enemy's defense line, but if you retreat, there is really only a dead end. Although Li Xingchen usually gets along well with the soldiers, at such a critical moment, he cannot guarantee the fighting spirit of his army.
and morale can still persist, so he must use this cruel but effective method.
Because he cannot afford to lose this battle.
"General, it's too dangerous here!" Li Ping came over with several personal guards, trying to drag Li Xinchen down. The position where Li Xinchen was standing was where the attack was launched, and was actually within the range of the enemy's arrows.
It's just that the current strong wind doesn't give the enemy a chance to shoot Li Xingchen.
Having said that, Li Ping and others did not dare to really let Li Xingchen stand like this. No one can guarantee when the flow of arrows will not come. Over the years, there have been many famous generals who fell because of the flow of arrows.
What's more, a few of the wooden and rolling stones thrown down from above would occasionally pass by Li Xingchen. None of these wooden and rolling stones had eyes.
"Get out of here!" Li Xingchen snorted coldly, still staring at the camp ahead. More than half of the soldiers who rushed forward had been killed or injured, but they were still gritting their teeth and climbing towards the top of the wall.
Even Li Xingchen could see that a young soldier who fell from the ladder did not stop even though his hands were covered with blood. However, everyone knew that it was no longer easy for the remaining soldiers to open the gap.
It's easy, but the new group is still struggling to avoid the rolling stones sliding down the hillside. It won't be possible to reach the corner of the wall in a short while.
The attacking team suffered casualties so quickly that it even exceeded Li Xingchen's expectations.
"Li Ping!" Li Xinchen's voice suddenly rose.
Li Ping trembled: "Here!"
"How many people are there in the Guards?!"
Although Li Ping didn't know what Li Xingchen wanted to do, he still subconsciously replied: "Twenty-five brothers, three are lost, and the rest are still there."
"Follow me!" Li Xingchen looked ferocious, picked up the Ziyun gun and ran up the hillside, "Give me the fourth group of people to push up!"
"General!" Li Ping wanted to grab him anxiously, but Li Xingchen took a long step and rushed over long ago. In desperation, Li Ping could only wave his hand, and the guards knew that there was no room for retreat at this time.
, one after another gritted their teeth and rushed forward.
As soon as Li Xingchen moved his flag, the fifth batch of more than a hundred people who were originally preparing to attack began to move forward at the same time. Cao Zhong in the other direction seemed to have noticed something, as the shouts from there were also loud.
Countless red flags were waving, and the Nanchen soldiers of the brigade moved forward regardless of life and death. For a while, it was not even possible to know how many people were attacking the mountain stronghold, but no matter where they stood in the mountain stronghold, they could feel the oncoming crowd pushing them down.
