Upon hearing this, Li Jing remained calm, stroked his beard, and slowly said:
"A narrow pass, a winding mountain road, a dog's gate, one man can guard it, but a thousand cannot pass; this is called terrain."
"Now, the terrain is in my hands. Although our troops are slightly outnumbered, they have suffered heavy casualties from this barrage of crossbow bolts."
"Even now, the enemy general is still leading his troops to charge, attempting to break the deadlock by leveraging their military strength."
At this point, he narrowed his eyes slightly and made a decision.
——
"Hold on!" Jin Mang roared furiously from within the shield formation.
The soldiers struggled to withstand the barrage of iron-feathered arrows, but even so, Jin Mang knew that if they wanted to survive this fierce offensive, they had to risk everything.
Now that things have come to this, the only way is to forcefully storm into the mountains and seize that terrain, so that we can have a chance to catch our breath.
If you're always at the bottom, you'll always be in a passive, defensive position.
Rather than be surrounded by enemy troops, we might as well fight to the death!
At this moment, they are making a difficult journey through the mountain path, paying a heavy price for every hundred steps they take. This is truly a life-or-death struggle!
Along the way, people kept falling, and the screams of agony never stopped.
Jin Mang's temples were already covered in sweat, and his heart was pounding faster and faster. There were too many arrows flying around, and he would be hit if he was not careful.
At that moment, shouts from soldiers came from behind:
"General, the young prince has told us not to go up!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Mang didn't even turn his head, and roared, "I can't hear you!"
The soldier shouted again, but Jin Mang repeated, "I can't hear you!"
After saying those two sentences, the soldier understood and wisely shut his mouth.
On the battlefield, there is only one commander-in-chief. Although the young prince has a noble status, Jin Mang is clearly more reliable at this time.
Jin Mang's face was now ashen, and he was cursing Jin Jiande in his heart.
If it weren't for Jin Jiande's constant pressure, forcing him to lead a large army into Yanlu Mountain, he wouldn't have encountered what he has today.
Given how treacherous Yanlu Mountain is, and the fact that Qin Ze is hiding there in the shadows, Jin Mang would never normally venture into danger without fully understanding the situation.
But now he was already caught in the trap, and there was no turning back. Filled with regret and anger, Jin Mang clenched his teeth uncontrollably.
But at that moment, he keenly noticed that the soldiers ahead were moving faster and faster.
No! It's that fewer and fewer iron-feathered arrows are being fired!
Finally! The enemy's arrows are almost used up!
"Quickly! Full speed ahead!!!" Lieutenant Peng Yue had also noticed it and shouted impatiently.
As they marched against the arrows, the soldiers relied on nothing but their shields and the sheer willpower they held in their hearts. They hadn't even engaged the enemy in direct combat yet, so how could they possibly die here without knowing why?
With such high spirits, everyone charged up the mountain without fear of death.
This momentum is unstoppable, like a sharp sword thrust out!
Now that the arrows are becoming fewer and fewer, their spirits are lifted, and they run faster and faster with their shields in hand!
The pale face of the deputy general Peng Yue finally regained its color, and an overwhelming sense of excitement welled up from his heart.
The enemy is using such a large number of ballistae for firing, and now that their offensive has weakened, it means they don't have many arrows left. So, if we take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward quickly, we can close the distance in one fell swoop!
Long-range weapons become useless once the distance factor is lost!
As long as they engage in close combat, these troops around him still possess formidable fighting power!
He excitedly raised his arms and shouted, "Quick! Charge forward!"
"Prepare for a head-on battle!"
Jin Mang, who was following behind, also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could break through, the next step would be a direct confrontation. His troops were quite strong in frontal combat.
In addition, the previous attacks came suddenly, resulting in heavy casualties among the archers, but even so, there were still quite a few survivors.
Once the enemy is spotted, archers can be used in combat, which further increases the chances of victory.
Thinking of this, Jin Mang shouted, "Charge forward in one fell swoop!"
At the command, morale soared, and the shield bearers at the front strode forward, their pace quickening.
Before they knew it, their formation became loose, and in the end, almost everyone was running forward, while the troops behind them quickened their pace.
The iron-feathered arrows had already stopped firing without anyone noticing.
"kill!!"
Seeing that no more arrows were coming from the front, the soldiers, their faces flushed with excitement, charged faster and faster!
Despite being clad in armor and armed with shields and weapons, they were constantly surging with power, which eventually led them to run one after another!
The army is advancing faster and faster!
The soldiers at the front could already see the flat ground; that was the platform, where the enemy was located!
"Charge! Kill them!"
"This time, it's our turn to kill them!!" Peng Yue shouted excitedly, holding his spear and raising his arm.
His face was contorted with excitement, and veins bulged on his forehead.
During their time at the foot of the mountain, they were incredibly frustrated. They hadn't even seen any enemy soldiers before suffering heavy casualties from these iron-feathered arrows.
Now, if we engage in direct combat, we must bring back all the enemy troops!
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Everyone was ready, and everyone roared.
An unstoppable momentum resonated in our hearts, inspiring everyone and bringing this spirit to its peak!
