The Yannan Great Wall stretches across the north bank of the Nanyishui River and stretches for 500 miles down the river. The wall is generally made of rammed loess. It is about ten meters high and more than eight meters wide. It is very majestic and cannot be easily attacked.
Down.
However, the purpose of this strange force led by Li Xin was not to capture the entire 500-mile Yannan Great Wall, but to open a breakthrough, penetrate a section of the Great Wall, occupy the key points behind the Yan Dynasty Allied Forces, and cut off the Yannan Great Wall.
Just get out of their way.
The heel army where Zhao Tuo is located is the sharp sword used to open the breakthrough.
"Why are there only so many people? Even if one person goes up and pokes him, his head won't be divided between Nai Gong's head."
The black butt behind him complained, but Aniu, the long and short brothers and others who were originally nervous breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Tuo looked at the sparse figures on the city wall, thoughtfully.
Because the Great Wall is too long, the Yan army did not deploy too many troops on each section of the wall. Especially when another feint attack of a thousand people attracted the Yan army from the surrounding walls to support, Zhao Tuo's troops faced this situation.
There were only five people on a section of the Great Wall.
Two thousand people against five?
In addition, there are tens of thousands of troops behind them.
It feels like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.
Zhao Tuo vaguely understood why Wang Jian sent his group to bypass the rear and attack the Great Wall. This was because the detour was not very difficult at the beginning, and it was just enough for these new soldiers to get used to it.
Having been on the battlefield and seeing blood, it is completely different from the army that only trains in the military camp all day long.
Moreover, boarding the Great Wall is only the first step. Next, they have to fight along the Great Wall for more than ten miles to seize the important pass where the Yan army crossed the river, cut off the retreat of the Yan Dynasty coalition forces, and hunt down the defeated army.
That's where the difficulty lies.
It's easy at the beginning, but hard at the end.
"attack!"
Although there were few enemies on the Great Wall, Colonel Huan Zhao still issued the attack orders in a strict manner.
The war drums of the accompanying troops beat.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom...
Amidst the continuous sound of drums, the vanguard centurions who received the order rushed forward carrying five bamboo ladders accompanying the army.
Although these bamboo ladders are simple, they are lightweight and useful. They are all built according to the height of the Great Wall. Once they reach the top of the city, groups of soldiers will come up to them.
When one team dies, the next team continues.
Of course, the current situation is useless. The five Yan soldiers on the Great Wall are not fools. Seeing thousands of people swarming out on the opposite side, they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
These people ran away.
After Zhao Tuo and others climbed up the ladder to the city wall in order, not even a single person could be seen, let alone taking human heads for military merit. On the contrary, although the thousand-man team responsible for the feint attack before had many casualties, many people
Can get military honors.
"Go forward to support the feint attack, and at the same time block the reinforcements coming from the north. Your troops stay behind to support the commander's army, and the rest fight along the city wall, and try your best to rush forward before the enemy forces intercept them!"
"only!"
Huan Zhao assigned tasks according to the established plan, and Zhao Tuo's unit was responsible for the advance.
"Second and Third Sons, today is the time to make meritorious deeds and win a title. Follow me and rush forward."
General Lu Bai shouted excitedly and directed his hundreds of men to follow the vanguard in order and march quickly.
On the Great Wall, there is only one road to the end. Only when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!
However, when the Qin army attacked the Great Wall of Yan, they did not attack in a swarm. Instead, they were arranged in five columns according to the team of hundreds, marching side by side. The ones in the front held spears and halberds, and the ones behind held short soldiers. Although there were many people, they did not appear chaotic.
.
Perhaps because of the sudden attack, all the Yan soldiers they encountered on the way fled. In a short period of time, the Qin army rushed nearly a kilometer across the Great Wall.
But soon, they encountered organized resistance from the Yan army.
Dozens of Yan soldiers stood outside a beacon fire, holding bows and crossbows, waiting in full formation.
In an instant, arrows flew in, and the unlucky guy at the front was instantly hit by the arrow. However, the comrades who followed did not have time to save them, so they jumped up from them or stepped directly over them.
Amidst bursts of screams, they rushed straight into the formation of Yan soldiers.
Fighting in close combat, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Just like this, the first group of people fell or were injured and lay beside the wall, and the remaining people immediately filled in. With the support of the follow-up army of tens of thousands of people, the entire Qin army was like a surging torrent surging rapidly on the Great Wall.
Breaking through all obstacles along the way, they went straight to the Fenmen Pass where the Yan army crossed the river.
Not only on the Great Wall, after capturing a pass on the way, the subsequent reinforcements descended the wall from there and marched directly along the inner edge of the wall. Because there was no Yan army to stop them on the ground, they advanced faster than their counterparts on the Great Wall.
The robe is much faster.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see that the black torrent is divided into upper and lower branches, rushing all the way along the Great Wall.
The Qin army was organized in the order of heavenly stems, A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui.
Xintun Gengshi was ranked at the back of the thousand-man group, so when all the comrades in front had suffered casualties and it was Gengshi's turn, they had almost rushed to the 500-meter mark of Guancheng.
Thousands of Yan troops were stationed here, firmly guarding the city and serving as a retreat for the Yan coalition forces.
But at this moment, they all looked frightened.
It was obvious that the decisive battle between the two armies was to the west of Yishui River, but how could the Qin army attack from the Great Wall in the north, and at the same time, the Qin army also charged and killed on the inside of the Great Wall.
There are beacon fires everywhere, and black armor is everywhere.
"kill!"
On the Great Wall, General Lu Wu took the lead in charging into the enemy's formation with his short soldiers. Liang Guang, the commander of Xintun, also roared and charged to kill.
As lower-level military officials of the Qin Army, hundred generals, and camp commanders must take the lead, especially leading a group of new soldiers. If even you, a hundred generals, are timid, how can you make your soldiers brave?
"Everyone, follow me!"
Zhao Tuo also roared and stepped forward with his sword.
The long sword in front of him had just been pierced by a Yan soldier's spear. Zhao Tuo used the body of his comrade as a shield, turned sideways, jumped out from the side of the wall, and stabbed the Yan soldier holding the spear with the Qin sword in his hand.
"ah!"
The Yan soldier screamed, but the weapon in his hand was still stuck in the corpse. He was unable to block it for a moment, and was stabbed in the throat by Zhao Tuo's sword, causing blood to flow wildly.
"It's about to be upgraded."
Zhao Tuo was overjoyed, but the cry of Black Butt was heard immediately behind him.
"Atuo, be careful!"
Zhao Tuo was reminded and fell back, barely avoiding the spear tip.
The spear-wielding Yan soldier was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a thin figure running towards him like a ghost.
Shejian!
He was thin but very strong. He pierced the chest of the Yan soldier with one sword and killed him.
"Come on!"
Zhu Zhu, who had always been honest and steady, seemed to be stimulated. He roared, held a picked-up Yan Army shield in front of him, and rushed forward immediately.
He was already strong and powerful, with a height of eight feet. When he charged, he was like a tank running wildly, with an indomitable momentum.
Behind Zhu, Xiaobai, Heihipu and the others from Gengshi also roared and rushed forward.
From the rear, more Qin troops are coming.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo was surprised to find that the Yan army in the front, which had been resisting tenaciously, seemed to have suddenly lost all its courage. Except for those who were still fighting at the front, the Yan army in the rear actually began to flee.
"Failed!"
"The State of Yan was defeated!"
Pao Ze from behind shouted excitedly.
Zhao Tuo stood at the top of the city and looked west.
On the west bank of Yishui, smoke and dust billowed.
Countless soldiers took off their armor and fled in panic.
The big flag embroidered with the word "Yan" was thrown to the ground, and then trampled by countless people and horses.
