Chapter 1366: Chapter 334: All-Out Assault! (Part 6)

The Wild People’s king means to clear them out together and let the soldiers of the second wave charge forward.

When he said this, he was very calm, as if the dead were not his kin.

Because he understands how long he can keep those wild people motivated.

In fact, quite a few wild people behind him have already shown hesitation, clearly becoming sober.

The Wild People’s king doesn’t care, so as the icy ancestor Liang Cheng, he naturally won’t feel heartache.

He immediately ordered arrows and siege engines to strike the central wall.

The soldiers of the second wave were already roaring as they advanced.

And it was led personally by Gong Wang and his son.

It can be said that these two commanders who had just defected to Lord Zheng really gave face and spared no expense.

Gongsun Zhi over there is still continuing to fight fiercely on the wall, and Gong Wang here is also about to join in.

Although everyone is aware that the chances of victory in one battle are slim, they understand that if this battle doesn’t achieve a breakthrough, the long ordeal of rebuilding siege engines will be ahead.

If there was an opportunity, who wouldn’t want to fight for a once-and-for-all?

Moreover,

With two major commanders personally leading troops into battle, this setup truly gives enough face to the Chu army of East Mountain Fortress.

Arrows began to rain down on the city head, and at the same time, the siege engines launched a new round of bombardment, this time throwing fire oil burning pellets.

However, because of the siege engines’ inherent unpredictability, the range was set further, most of which fell inside the wall while only a few hit the wall, avoiding the risk of accidentally hitting their own attacking forces.

The bombardment ended, and Gong Wang and his son personally led the army to charge, taking over the position previously held by the wild people, and this wave hit right when the Chu defenders on the wall were exhausted with heavy losses and reinforcements had not arrived, so the effect was excellent.

Soon, several gaps torn open by the Yan army appeared on the wall, and taking advantage of the Chu’s declining momentum, Gongsun Zhi’s part, which had been in continuous battle, finally managed a breakthrough and stood firm.

It can be said,

The situation suddenly became clear!

"Boom!"

At this moment,

The Yan’s battering ram also smashed open the gate.

Seeing this scene, the blind man decisively took out an orange, the general situation was decided.

However,

Liang Cheng directly said:

"Yesterday, I deliberately had people leave that section of wall to give the Chu people a sense of hope and luck so that they wouldn’t block the gate, but actually, the battering ram pounded for so long without breaking through, proving the Chu people didn’t fall for it and had actually blocked the gate."

Holding the orange, unsure whether to eat it or not, the blind man couldn’t help but ask:

"So, what does this mean?"

"It was the Chu inside the city who deliberately removed the obstruction blocking the gate and opened it."

The blind man hesitated a moment but placed the orange back. He doesn’t understand military affairs, and indeed each daemon has their specialty, and when it comes to military strategy, there’s only Liang Cheng who compares to my lord, personally trained by Prince Jingnan.

But the blind man understood, it seemed unlikely the Chu would voluntarily open the gate to surrender.

As expected,

A loud horn blared inside East Mountain Fortress,

Immediately,

Squads of Chu cavalry charged out fearlessly from inside the gate, followed closely by a large number of Chu soldiers.

Seeing this, Liang Cheng actually smiled and said:

"I’ve always thought the Chu commander inside the city has good skills, now it seems it’s true. Instead of continuing to use a piecemeal tactic on the wall and let the situation gradually collapse to an uncontrollable state, it would be better to open up a second battlefield and actively fight out. As long as they can clear the front of the wall, even if our troops occupy the wall, it’s meaningless. This kind of resolute spirit isn’t something every general possesses."

"A Cheng, please watch your back."

"Hmm."

"These hero-appreciating-hero words you can say to me, but remember not to say to my lord, who likes fallen enemy heroes, not breathing ones."

Below the wall, the extensive movement of the Chu people shifted the battlefield from the wall to below it.

They formed formations, coordinated with each other, trained quickly, clearing out a large area. With just a bit more advance, they could completely isolate the Yan forces already on the wall and the rear main forces.

Meanwhile,

Within the Chu’s exit, 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

A golden banner stood,

Beneath the flag, embroidered a Fire Phoenix.

"Royalty?" Liang Cheng asked in confusion.

However, this was within the blind man’s area of expertise, so he immediately explained, "Inside East Mountain Fortress, there’s indeed a Chu Zhuguai."

Originally, Chu had four Zhuguai,

After Qu TianNan took his own life at Jade Plate City, his son Qu Peiluo has not yet inherited the position of Zhuguai, so currently, Chu only has three Zhuguai left.

Now,

There was actually one existing within East Mountain Fortress!

The Spy Bureau and Snow Sea spies were entirely unaware!

"Report! East Mountain Fortress’s east gate is open, the Chu army exited!"

"Report! West gate is open, the Chu army exited!"

"Report... "

The Chu people proactively opened the city gates, the troops surged out.

And these exiting Chu soldiers, the armor on their bodies, clearly had a different feel.

This side was originally the main attack, while the others were really feigned attacks. It was a fact both sides knew, but the Chu chose this moment to flip the table.
