Chapter 550: The Yellow Turbans Are Blocked and the Net Moves
His voice was full of temptation and incitement, which rekindled the fire of hope in the eyes of the Yellow Turban soldiers and the elderly and weak who had already lost all hope.
They began to believe that maybe, one day, they could escape their current predicament and live a stable and happy life.
Although this was just a beautiful lie made up by Tie Shiwen to motivate this group of defeated soldiers.
But in the eyes of these defeated Yellow Turban soldiers, Tie Shiwen was their leader and their savior.
Unfortunately, in reality, they are just pathetic cannon fodder in his hands.
"Charge, brothers!"
Tie Shiwen ordered loudly, "For our future, for our families behind us, for our land and food, charge!"
Following his orders, tens of thousands of defeated Yellow Turban soldiers and hundreds of thousands of old and weak soldiers, under the command of Tie Shiwen, launched a fierce attack on Tianqian Pass.
They shouted and charged forward, as if they really saw a bright future beckoning to them.
However, the reality is cruel.
The defenders of Tianqian Pass had already made full preparations. Relying on the strong pass and sufficient food and grass, they launched a fierce counterattack against the Yellow Turban Army.
For a moment, the area below the natural moat was filled with the noise of battle.
Countless defeated Yellow Turban soldiers fell one after another, and their scarlet blood dyed the ground red.
The old and weak were unable to withstand the attacks of the defenders and were ruthlessly slaughtered by the defenders above. The deafening cries and wails rose one after another, echoing throughout the heavens and the earth.
However, Tie Shiwen seemed not to see any of this.
He just kept waving his weapons and ordering the soldiers to charge, completely disregarding their lives.
The entire battle lasted a whole day and night. Almost half of the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers and hundreds of thousands of old and weak soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were killed in the battle.
Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers.
However, the natural barrier ahead still stands.
At this time, not far from the Tianqian Pass, on a hidden high ground, Su Ye stood quietly, with his two think tanks - Guo Jia and Xun You beside him.
The three of them stared coldly at the battlefield below, which was filled with chaos and despair.
The defeated soldiers and the old, weak and sick of the Yellow Turban Army struggled helplessly under the walls of Tianqian Pass like dead leaves swept by a storm. Every charge was accompanied by the loss of countless lives.
"It's almost done. Let Luo Wang and Xiong Bin take action."
Su Ye finally spoke, his voice low and without any emotion.
This battle was carefully planned from the very beginning.
Use the Yellow Turban Army as bait to consume the strength of the defenders of Tianqian Pass.
The Cangzhou Army will appear as the savior, reap the benefits and seize this impregnable pass at the lowest cost.
"Don't worry, my lord. The trap is ready. With just one order, we can take advantage of the chaos and strike a fatal blow to the defenders."
Hearing this, Guo Jia, who was behind him, curled up his lips into a faint smile.
"The Xiongbi troops are also lying in ambush on the side. When the time is right, we can launch a surprise attack from the flank and attack from both inside and outside with Luowang. The natural barrier will surely be breached."
Xun You seemed more calm, and added immediately. For this operation, Su Ye also specially transferred Xiong Xiong, who had never fought in Tianwu Continent, from Cangzhou to Hengzhou.
"We only need to take action at the critical moment and we can capture this pass at the lowest cost."
"Remember, our goal is the Natural Ditch Pass. As for the lives of the Yellow Turban Army, they are not within our consideration."
Su Ye nodded, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
As Su Ye's orders were issued, countless Luowang killers dressed in black and wearing the black spider logo on their bodies gradually appeared in Tianqian Pass.
After planning for so long, the natural barrier had already been penetrated by the net like a sieve.
On the other side, the elite troops led by Xiong Bin also began to move quietly, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Tianqian Pass from the flank.
On the battlefield, the defeated soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were still making a hopeless charge under the instigation of Tie Shiwen.
Many of them have already realized that this is just a conspiracy with them as victims.
But the instinct for survival and the desire for the future force them to keep moving forward, even if death lies ahead.
Just as the Yellow Turban Army's offensive was gradually weakening and the defenders began to show signs of victory, Luowang's killers had already infiltrated the battlefield silently like ghosts.
The target was directly aimed at the generals and key positions among the defenders. Every attack was a fatal blow, which quickly disintegrated the defenders' command system.
The six sword slaves of Luowang each held a long sword in their hands, and the flashing sword light revealed a murderous intent.
The six men cooperated well with each other and their swordsmanship was fierce. Each sword contained a powerful internal force, which was enough to penetrate heavy armor and cut through weapons.
On the battlefield, they were like six black lightning bolts, shuttling among the defenders. Every attack they made was a fatal blow. The generals and soldiers in key positions among the defenders fell one after another, and the command system quickly collapsed.
Instead, it was the number one killer in Luowang, Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who was dressed in black, had a cold face, and his eyes flickered like cold stars, revealing an unquestionable murderous intent.
Many captains and generals in the defending army were easily cut down like straw under his sword.
At this moment, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was advancing alone and quickly towards the general who was commanding the defenders on the wall. The general was wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, and looked very majestic.
However, in the eyes of Hei Bai Xuan Jian, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Hei Bai Xuan Jian snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of the general like a ghost.
With a light swing of the sword in his hand, a sharp sword energy was cut out. The sword energy was like black lightning, instantly tearing through the air and going straight for the general's throat.
The general was horrified and quickly waved his spear to block.
However, his spear was as fragile as paper in front of the black and white sword energy and was cut off in an instant.
Then, the sword continued to slash forward with undiminished force, piercing the general's throat directly, and blood spurted out instantly.
At the same time, the Six Sword Slaves of Luowang also launched a frenzied killing on the battlefield.
Under the crazy massacre of a group of Luowang killers, the defenders' defense line quickly collapsed and morale plummeted.
At the same time, Xiong Bin led a troop wearing yellow scarves, and like a sharp knife, they suddenly climbed up the city wall from the other side and penetrated into the flank of the defenders.
This army was well-trained and moved quickly. The yellow scarves they wore fluttered in the wind like flags of death.
The leading bear was burly and powerful, and the Fengsha black tasseled spear in his hand was extremely powerful. The spear was more than ten feet long, and the tip was as sharp as a knife. There were black tassels wrapped around the spear, which fluttered in the wind and exuded murderous aura.
