Chapter 904 Breakthrough Miracle
The coalition did not immediately launch an attack on Tingshui Pass. The front line was guarding with shields. After the shield, the logistics team had already started to set up a catapult cart. This time, Han Mo sent troops, and the logistics team was always in the rear. In the just-concluded battle at Nanyang Pass, the logistics team did not play a role, but now the troops are at Tingshui Pass, the logistics team will begin to play a powerful role.
The Yan army set up more than 200 catapults, lined up in a row, and the Qing army also set up more than 100 catapults. The Wei army watched helplessly at the Tingshui Pass, but did not dare to move.
If it were in the past, the cavalry of Wei would have rushed out of the pass and launched direct attacks on the enemy. However, the shock brought by the Yan army's hook and sickle spear now made Xue Poye dare not send troops easily.
Even the iron horse cavalry was killed, so he dared not throw the Wei cavalry out and die.
If the Wei army had redeployed and then looked for a way to crack the hook and sickle spear, they might not dare to face the coalition forces head-on. Unfortunately, the coalition forces did not give them any time to adjust. As for the method to crack the hook and sickle spear, Xue Poye would have no idea for a while.
The coalition forces quickly set up catapults, and a large number of huge rocks were transported up, ready for the attack.
When Han Mo learned that everything was ready, he directly ordered the army to start an attack on Tingshui Pass without saying a word.
Han Mo has been studying the military books left by Xiao Huaiyu, and has experienced a lot from it, and what he understands the most deeply is the grasp of the fighter jets. In other words, what Xiao Huaiyu repeatedly emphasized is that once he confronts the enemy, he needs to launch continuous attacks with the sharpest offensive momentum, and must completely suppress the place.
From a certain perspective, Xiao Huaiyu's tactical thoughts are really similar to the so-called "blitz war" in later generations.
Attack, offense!
As long as it is possible and as long as the army can withstand it, it will give the enemy the most cruel blow at all costs and will not give the enemy a chance to relieve it.
...
The catapult finally showed its power.
Countless huge rocks were like meteorites smashed from the sky. The power of more than 300 catapults was really extraordinary. The Wei army defenders on the pass were both angry and helpless. The powerful attack power made them unable to look up for a moment.
The attack of the catapult cart took place for more than an hour. When facing such an attack, the Tingshui Pass was already fragmented, and there was a gap in the wall of the gate.
Many Wei soldiers were smashed into meat paste by huge rocks, and many Wei archers could only fight back with arrows. Unfortunately, the range of arrows was far inferior to that of the catapult car. The coalition's front line was not only outside the range of the bow and arrow, but also had a row of shields to protect them, and casualties were almost negligible.
Seeing that the Tingshui Pass had been opened by a landslide, Han Mo and Lin Chengfei ordered the heavy armored soldiers to start their battles, preparing to use the heavy armored soldiers as the leader to launch an attack on Tingshui Pass.
In fact, heavy armored soldiers have always been the most powerful protection group, but they are expensive, so there are not many. This time, Wei and Qing have all the elite troops, but the number of heavy armored soldiers at Tingshui Pass is no more than 10,000.
However, to attack this broken Tingshui Pass that had been bombarded by a catapult, ten thousand heavy armored soldiers were enough.
The Yan army was on the left and the Qing army was on the right. The heavy armored soldiers of the two armies were arranged. Han Mo, who had been waiting for a long time, waved his hand with satisfaction. The loud trumpet sounded. Lin Chengfei shouted immediately: "The men of Qing, the warriors of Yan, let the Wei people taste what terror is, boys, come on!"
The sound of trumpets and the sermon drums roared. Ten thousand armored soldiers who were waiting for the battle all roared like tsunamis: "Kill!"
With the loud "boom boom" footsteps, the earth was shaking violently. Ten thousand heavy armored soldiers rushed towards the city like a towering iron mountain that could move. The light infantry followed behind them, and the cavalry could not play the greatest effect in this kind of tough battle, so they were listed in the last squad.
The incident at Tingshui Pass was also roaring. The Wei army gathered together to set up formations at Tingshui Pass to welcome the coalition forces' attacks on them.
Things are impermanent, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Just a few days ago, they were still in an attack, and they launched attacks on the Qing people again and again, suppressing the Qing people in a miserable way.
However, the Yan army's participation in the war and the emergence of the hook and sickle spear caused a shocking reversal.
The rumbling momentum made the Wei army on the pass feel fear. This fear was the continuation of the shock brought by the iron horse cavalry after it was completely wiped out. The Wei generals were already shouting loudly: "Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!"
However, this time the heavy armored soldiers came up. Although there were indeed many heavy armored soldiers in the middle who were suddenly shot by arrows, the entire army still rushed towards Tingshui Pass very neatly and quickly.
They made themselves as fast as possible and approached Tingshui Pass earlier.
The momentum was like a rainbow, and the arrows shot towards the coalition forces like raindrops. Although the heavy armored soldiers had excellent defense, many light infantry following behind were killed or injured.
But the castration is like an arrow and it is hard to stop it.
The coalition forces were as powerful as rainbows, and the mountains roared and the seas were tsunami, and soon rushed to the gap in the pass.
The Wei army knew very well how much it would be to the generals of the Wei State if there was any mistake in Tingshui Pass. Therefore, the Wei army was also in a series of trumpets. At each gap in the pass, a large number of Wei soldiers blocked them and wanted to keep the coalition forces out of the pass. They were tense, their faces turned blue, and they held their weapons tightly. When the coalition forces rushed over, they immediately met and fought together.
With the rhythmic shaking of "clang clang", the coalition soldiers had climbed up a hill made of gravel and ruins. The sounds appeared one by one in the gaps in the pass, and the number of people increased. In just a moment, the narrow Tingshui Pass and the gaps in various places had coalition soldiers rushed past.
The soldiers of the coalition army waved their swords and spears and rushed forward with thunder. The soldiers of the Wei army were also red with their eyes and roaring, holding their shields and spears high to fight.
Just like a huge wave of steel, the gaps in various places in Tingshui Pass hit each other, making a huge sound.
The soldiers who rushed in front of both sides were instantly swallowed by the wave of black weapons and armor, but the subsequent soldiers of both sides still rushed forward fearlessly, with swords and swords like forests, armor colliding, and thunderous sounds like thunder.
Although there were more than ten landslide gaps under the violent bombardment of the catapult cart, the gaps were still relatively narrow. The two armies were close together. Except for the people in the front row, the weapons of the soldiers in the back row were not too late to unfold, and they collided violently. Within a few dozen meters in each gap, thousands of people rushed to kill each other. The bodies, spears, swords and armor were all squeezed together, and many soldiers were squeezed together, making it difficult to use their hands.
But his feet were still hugging the other party's body like a beast, killing the other party in his hands as much as possible. The subsequent troops were continuous. Someone fell in front of him, and new soldiers rushed up to fight in an instant. On the broken walls of Tingshui Pass, there were archers who kept shooting arrows continuously, looking for targets to kill them. The archers of the coalition forces also found the right opportunity to shoot fiercely at the archers on the walls.
At the line of Tingshui Pass, killing and screams gathered together, tearing through the sky.
...
Han Mo looked at the fierce battle at Tingshui Pass, his face was not good-looking. After a while, he sighed: "A general succeeds forever!"
Zhu Xiaoyan kept following him. He heard what he said, and read it softly, and then said, "That's true, there must be some people in the world to complete these things!" He raised his hand, held the whip in his hand, pointed to the Tingshui Pass, which was fighting bloody, and asked slowly: "When this pass is broken, your name will inevitably leave a mark in history!"
Time passed slowly. Although the coalition forces attacked fiercely, the strength of the Wei people was still manifested at this time. The Wei army with gaps in various places tenaciously resisted the attack of the coalition forces, and countless casualties on both sides were killed or injured. However, until the dawn appeared, no gap was broken through in more than a dozen gaps. For the Wei army, it has to be said to be a miracle.
Han Mo knew in his heart that the coalition soldiers must have been exhausted after a series of hard battles, but he knew even more that the Wei army was at the end of their strength at this time.
What I fear most in the battle is the repeated tug-of-war, which not only has heavy casualties but also has a great impact on morale. If I retreat at this time, the coalition forces can certainly get a temporary rest, but the Wei army will also get a rest.
At this moment, I could only grit my teeth and persevere and break through with one blow.
Both sides are competing with their will. Whoever can persist will be able to achieve the final victory.
The messenger who rushed from the Qing army conveyed Lin Chengfei's meaning to ask whether to withdraw temporarily, because the casualties of the coalition forces were too large, and if they continued to consume like this, they were afraid that the casualties would be even worse.
Han Mo just asked the messenger to take him over and say: "The brave one will win when they meet on a narrow road!"
When the sun shone on the earth, cheers suddenly came from the other side of Tingshui Pass. After a night of hard fighting, a gap was finally broken by the Yan army, and the Yan army rushed into the pass like a tide.
The thousand-mile long dike collapsed in the ant hole, and being broken into one place was equivalent to a sharp dagger inserted into it. The morale of the Wei army was even weaker, and the gaps in various places were broken one after another.
The Yanqing coalition forces and Nanyang Pass won the victory, and finally created another miracle. They even broke through the Wei people's portal overnight.
The Wei army was completely defeated.
Although there are still soldiers of Wei army who fight to the death, the flood-like coalition soldiers are no longer able to resist the entry of the Wei army. The cavalry they are proud of cannot play a role in this war.
In desperation, the Wei army finally left countless corpses, gave up Tingshui Pass, and the entire army retreated. When Han Mo climbed onto the wall of Tingshui Pass at noon, there was no other Wei army resisting except for the corpses all over the ground and the large number of Wei prisoners captured.
