Chapter 512: Ice Crack
Chapter 512: Ice crack
Above the Tuojiang River, torches were like stars, illuminating the attack surface that was several miles wide. Zhenliao Camp replaced Jinghai Camp and continued to attack. From afternoon until this time, Zeng Chong's attack never stopped. The smooth Tuojiang River surface was muddy at this time, with blood and soil mixed together, and was stepped into mass mud by the soldiers' big feet.
Even though the elite Dingzhou army was refined as steel as iron by Chen Zeyue, he still inevitably felt tired during such a high-intensity battle. He just waved his swords and guns numbly and stabbed the enemy that appeared in front of him and slashed and killed.
Since the night came, the Dingzhou Army's catapults continuously projected grease-filled bundles of wood on the attacking soldiers. These burning bundles of wood fell on the ice of Tuojiang River and immediately made a chirping sound. Although they were not extinguished, it was ridiculous when it came to killing and hurting.
Zeng Yiyang was surprised to see his opponent wanting to attack with fire in such weather. He couldn't help but find it funny. The burning bundle of firewood fell on the river, which seemed to be lighting the attacking army. It seemed that the opponent was already exhausted and could not use it. Moreover, the stone bullets he prepared were all taken away, so he could only use this kind of thing to comfort the soldiers.
As the second update approached, Zeng Yiyang was excited. Zhenliao Camp attacked the river embankment, and the first line of defense of the Dingzhou army was immediately broken. The soldiers of Zhenliao Camp rushed up the river embankment like a tide. There was no need to attack the opponent, which made Zeng Yiyang very excited. He carried a knife and walked towards the Tuojiang River and set foot on the front line to supervise the battle.
Although the Dingzhou Army was equipped with excellent equipment, including headbands, gloves and cotton coats, the cold weather still had a huge threat in continuous combat under such weather. Chen Zeyue, who had been sitting in the command of the central army, had already been numb from cold. Seeing the enemy climbing up the river embankment like an ant and rushing towards his last position, he couldn't help feeling powerless. There were too many enemies, and even though he caused huge losses to the enemy, he also suffered great sacrifices. Until now, his subordinates were killed and injured, and more than half of the soldiers who had lost their combat power had been killed.
There are many enemies, and I am not afraid of this kind of consumption, but how long can I bear it? The arrangement on the Tuojiang River has not yet responded. Chen Zeyue couldn't help but worry whether this method would work. If it cannot succeed, then today it is probably my own place of success.
Chen Zeyue did not think he had the ability to persevere until dawn.
Opposite the Tuojiang River, Zeng Chong saw Zeng Yiyang finally breaking through the enemy's first line of defense, and he couldn't help but slapped his thigh and shouted the word "good". The most difficult thing to fight against is the first line of defense, especially today's battlefield, which breaks the first line of defense for the enemy's heavy troops, which is the reversal point of this battle. Morale will be greatly boosted, and the difficulty of attack begins to decline. Soldiers no longer have to attack, and the offensive efficiency will also increase exponentially. It seems that the enemy is not far away from the time of defeating them. He stood up, walked a few steps in place, and then looked at the dark left and right sides, and finally made up his mind.
"The order to order Zeng Yifei, Jinghai Camp, to transfer two wings to support Zhenliao Camp, and strive to completely defeat the opponent before dawn!" Zeng Chong ordered.
A group of soldiers were thrown into the battlefield, opposite the Tuojiang River, and close forces were connected. In the snow-capped ice ridges at the forefront, the Dingzhou army began to fight with the opponents in hand-to-hand combat. The screams, screams, and the sound of swords and guns collided, and blood splashed on the ice. Before there was any time to flow in the cold weather, new hot blood covered it, and corpses kept hitting the ground heavily.
Chen Zeyue had already started fighting in person, and formed the final reserve team with his own personal guards. The defense line there was danger, so he ran up and wherever he appeared, the pure steel sword had already cut a gap. At this time, the entire army had been in a tough battle, fighting on their own, and no order could be effectively implemented. The soldiers fighting to the death only fought for life. If they killed their opponents, they could live for a moment.
On the river surface covered by blood mud, cracks as dense as spider webs appeared on the originally smooth river surface. The cracks were expanding outward at an astonishing speed, and the ice surface made a sound of a plaid, but amid the shocking shouts of killing, this insignificant sound was really hard to detect.
As they stepped on one by one, tens of thousands of people ran forward on the river at the same time, making the crack longer and thicker, and cracks that could penetrate a whole palm began to appear in some places.
The Dingzhou Army at the end of the position threw the last stone bullet, tightened the rope, and sent out the stone bullet vigorously. More than a dozen stone bullets fell on the river. Regardless of the result he caused, the throwing soldiers pulled out their waists and rushed towards the defense line in front.
A stone bullet fell on the river surface, making a sound, shattering the ice surface and splashing several splashes of water. A soldier who escaped from the stone bullet was poured by the ice water. He looked down in surprise. He opened his eyes wide and almost did not believe his eyes. When the thick ice surface became so thin, he actually saw the flowing water.
He opened his mouth wide and clamored. One of his feet suddenly stepped on the air. He fell down obliquely. Half of his body was soaked in the river. He threw away the weapons in his hand and grabbed the riverside with both hands, trying his best to get up. But with his exertion, the ice surface beside him made a shattering sound at the same time. With a loud bang, he fell into the Tuojiang River with great surprise.
At almost the same time, the entire river surface made a sound of princesses. The soldiers finally noticed the abnormality, stopped running and looked at their feet.
Zeng Yiyang was full of energy, holding a big flag in one hand and waving a big knife in the other hand, encouraging the soldiers to move forward. When the huge crack of ice sounded, he lowered his head in horror, but found that he was slowly sinking. Irregular cracks appeared around the ice surface several meters wide under his feet.
How is this possible? This thought flashed through his mind. Why did the ice surface crack in Tuojiang River at this time?
"General, the river is broken!" a soldier shouted loudly.
Before Zeng Yiyang could react, he had already begun to sink faster. At this time, a huge roar sounded on the river surface. The originally integrated river surface was split into countless pieces and was quickly breaking open. The soldiers of Zhenliao camp who were covered with dumplings fell down the water surface and disappeared without a trace.
"God's punishment!" Zeng Yiyang's mind suddenly passed by this absurdly. At this time, his lower body was completely immersed in the water. The personal soldiers beside him were shouting in horror and stretching out their hands to him, trying to pull Zeng Yiyang up the river, but then the ice surface beside them also shattered in the sound of shattering. He fell down the river first.
The soldiers of Zhenliao Camp, which were densely covered on the river, were completely exploded in an instant. The huge fear made them messy. Some rushed forward desperately, while others turned around and ran back, squeezing into a ball. As their movements increased, the speed of the ice surface rupture accelerated. The people who fell down went from one to one group now.
The soldiers of Zhenliao Camp who had climbed ashore and were attacking desperately noticed the strangeness behind him and turned around in horror. However, they saw their companions disappearing from the river surface quickly. The frozen Tuo River was shattering in the garden for several miles. The flowing water hit the ice surface in front, causing huge splashes of water.
Fear makes everyone stand in the local area.
The Dingzhou Army's position burst out with a shocking cheer. Wansheng, the mighty roar of long live overwhelmed the sound. The numb Dingzhou soldiers felt full of strength in an instant, and they jumped up from the position one by one, waved the martial arts cry in their hands, and chopped towards the devastated soldiers of Zhenliao Camp.
"God has appeared!" A roared.
This roar completely shattered the final will of the soldiers of Zhenliao Camp. Yes, if God hadn't appeared, he would have to punish them. Why would Tuojiang River thaw at this time, and the cracked ice was only within the range of their attack?
Zeng Chong, full of victory, experienced the transition from heaven to hell in a short time. Like all the soldiers, he did not understand why the Tuojiang River cracked at this time and swallowed the entire Zhenliao Camp. Seeing less than a stick of incense, the Tuojiang River water exposed his majesty on the front of the attack, and the rushing river water collided on the ice not far away, causing waves. His legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.
Is God's punishment? Is this the will of God? Why do you choose yourself at this time for your choice?
On the other side, the road to return was blocked. In front of them were soldiers of Dingzhou soldiers who were roaring and rushing Tuojiang River behind them. In despair, they threw away their weapons and fell to the ground. However, they were still ruthlessly cut on the ground by the Dingzhou soldiers who rushed over.
The two wings of the Jinghai Camp went to support Zhenliao Camp. The first wing had already fallen to the river surface and was swallowed by the ruthless river slag without spitting it out. The second wing was about to cross the river embankment. The accident suddenly occurred, causing them to retreat in horror.
Zeng Chong vomited out a mouthful of blood, from a big victory to a big defeat, and the sudden two kinds of sadness and joy made him unable to bear it anymore.
"General!" The guards on both sides woke up from the shock and helped Zeng Chong up.
At this time, apart from the shaking cheers and shouts of killing on the opposite side, the river was silent like death. Thousands of people were staring at the rushing river water, losing their souls.
In the distance, there were bursts of shouts of killing. Zeng Chong raised his head hard. On his left, several miles away, a winding black line was rushing across the Tuojiang River. His body shook. It was Li Qing's personal guard camp. But why did their armed cavalry cross the river calmly, but broke the ice here?
Li Qing’s personal guard camp! Zeng Chong suddenly reacted, jumped up like an electric shock, and shouted loudly: “Form a formation, form a formation!”
