Chapter 1364: Chapter 334: All-Out Assault! (Part 4)

The wild people’s king is best at inciting fervor, using religion to create an atmosphere, then using ’wine, meat, and women’ and hopes for the future to make these wild people blind, temporarily forgetting about life and death.

Although only temporary, it is truly enough, because for most of the wild people storming the city, their lives are, in fact, only temporary.

Just like the attack on Chongyang Mountain Village days ago, this attack by the wild people also appeared fearless of death. On the walls, the first row of Chu people were the most elite swordsmen and axemen, behind them were archers and crossbowmen, and on the outer edges were spearmen or halberdiers wielding long weapons.

From near to far, three layers of defense, like a hedgehog.

Many wild people rush up, only to be slashed down, stabbed, or shot. The cloud ladders formed by the watchtowers are broad and sturdy, but the contact surface is actually just this big.

However, the initial cruelty did not make the wild people fearful; instead, it inspired a streak of ferocity deep within them. With little coordination, they faced this situation by choosing the most direct approach.

Rushing up to hug the Chu people in front of them, dragging them down the city wall together.

Some wild people, rushing up, their weapons already pierced through their vine armor into their bodies, but they still grit their teeth, dragging and pulling with their weight, determined to take someone down with them.

This wild dog style of fighting caused the Chu people on the wall to subconsciously start retreating, gradually opening up a gap, allowing more wild people to climb up.

Below, Guo Dong, who was holding a shield and covering the archers and crossbowmen shooting upwards, couldn’t help but click his tongue and said:

"Those damn wild people really don’t care about their own lives!"

Hui An nodded, he was also shocked by the wild people’s way of slaughtering. It’s a style that completely throws away their lives. No, it’s more than that, it’s a style that sees their own lives as utterly worthless!

Guo Dong continued:

"The wild people are so powerful, yet Lord Pingye managed to defeat them."

How terrifying must that Lord Pingye be?

In fact, there were indeed many who held such thoughts.

This brings us back to a very old theme: wild people with a king and wild people without a king are two completely different... creatures.

At this moment, the blind man stood beside Liang Cheng, helping Liang Cheng analyze and collect the various messages coming from the front.

This scene naturally fell into his ’eyes’.

Last night, Gou Moli told him that people are different; Yan people, wild people, Jin people, they are fundamentally humans, but beneath that, there are further distinctions.

Now, Gou Moli has indeed done it.

The wild people storming the city head-on used this method to exert great pressure on the defending Chu people; in fact, many wild people had already gotten onto the city walls and started fighting on level ground.

"Hehe, luckily the wild people encountered the Northern Pacification troops and Southern Pacification troops, as well as Tian Wujing, and besides, they are not united internally."

The blind man sighed.

Liang Cheng, however, shook his head and said, "It’s just temporary blood courage, it can happen once but not again, let alone a third time. This has always been the old problem of the wild people, the characteristic of rabble, just like the peasant rebellion armies, they rise up in a fuss for a while, but as long as their sharpness is blunted, their momentum fades."

Then Liang Cheng said to his left and right:

"Give the order, the second batch of troops follow, the enforcement team advances, focusing on the wild people’s area."

This was in case the wild people’s momentum weakened and they quickly retreated.

The blind man smiled and said, "So, the key to this battle still depends on Ah Li and Gongsun Zhi, right?"

Liang Cheng pointed to the side where Gongsun Zhi was and said, "It’s obvious Gongsun Zhi is stuck there, hasn’t broken through any gaps, only on Ah Li’s side can we expect more progress."

"In the end, our own people are more reliable," said the blind man.

Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "You can’t say it like that. We are standing below, unable to see the situation above; maybe the side Gongsun Zhi is facing off against the most elite of the defending Chu people, so they haven’t been able to get up yet.

This is a match, someone has to face off against that move, only then can other aspects find chances to break through."

As he spoke, Liang Cheng looked back.

The blind man asked, "Why, does even my lord need to step in?"

"Move the command carriage forward, boosting morale at the most crucial moment. My lord should understand this logic; although my lord is afraid of death, at critical moments, he can still go all out."

"It’s quite interesting, moving the command carriage forward, boosting morale, quite amusing."

The blind man was speaking as he unconsciously took out an orange, but hesitated, feeling that eating snacks in his current position was inappropriate, so he put it back away.

At this moment, Liang Cheng spoke:

"It seems Ah Li’s side has opened a gap."

...

"Ula!!!!!!!!!!"

Fanli’s side has indeed opened a gap.

In the cold weapon era, a person of Fanli’s stature, placed in times of war, would be a ’general who could defeat ten thousand.’

During the last assault on Chongyang Mountain Village, Fanli fought in vain, sweating profusely in his iron shell, with scarcely any blood on his axe.

This time, he seized the opportunity.

When the initial charge was blocked,

Fanli, without a word, hurled himself out directly.

Yes,

he treated himself like a boulder launched by a catapult, with a step and leap, the cloud ladder underfoot trembled, and he soared into the air, crashing into the densely packed Chu people ahead of him.
