57 desperate

Whoosh whoosh!

A dense rain of arrows fell, and the soldiers of the Liu Army screamed and fell down under the hill, but new soldiers of the Liu Army would immediately come up behind them.

Bang bang bang!

Stones fell from the sky one after another and fell into the attacking group of Sergeant Liu's soldiers, causing heavy casualties to them and more importantly, a blow to their morale.

"Damn it!"

Wang Ling, who was covered in blood behind him, looked at this scene with an extremely ugly face and cursed loudly.

For the Liu Army soldiers who wanted to attack Luoqiu, the Qin Army blocking them was not their biggest threat.

The greatest threat to them actually came from the Qin Army's ballistae and trebuchets' covering attacks on them.

On the eastern section of the battlefield, these Qin soldiers followed Zhuge Liang's instructions and retreated to the foot of Luoqiu Mountain to defend themselves.

In this way, the attacking soldiers of Liu Army were just within the attack range of the Qin Army's crossbowmen, ballistas, and even trebuchets on the hill.

Not only did these soldiers of the Liu Army have to attack from the top of the hill, but they also had to face the rain of arrows and stones falling from the sky. Their combat environment was definitely the worst.

At the same time, precisely because Luoqiu was still in the hands of the Qin army at this time, the trebuchets on Luoqiu fired more stones into the middle battlefield to attack the main force of Liu's army led by Cao Shen.

These continuously falling stones continued to injure and kill many Liu Jun soldiers. More importantly, the continuous falling stones dealt a very serious blow to the morale of Liu Jun's troops.

If this situation cannot be prevented, let the Qin army's trebuchets and crossbowmen continue to attack blindly from a high position.

Before the soldiers under Liu Bang could kill the Qin army, they would collapse first.

"Run away!"

Another group of Liu soldiers failed to attack and were driven off the hill by the Qin army, suffering heavy casualties.

Each of these defeated Liu Jun soldiers had frightened expressions and frightened eyes. They yelled and ran away frantically, desperate.

"Stop, everyone stop, line up again, don't run any further."

Some Liu Jun generals tried to stop these defeated soldiers, reorganize them, and fight again later.

But it is a pity that the defeated soldiers of Liu Army have really lost their will this time. They no longer want to fight. If they continue to fight, there is no hope of winning. If they continue to fight, they will definitely die.

Therefore, this group of defeated Liu Army soldiers ignored the obstruction of Liu Army generals and continued to escape.

On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is such a rout.

Because once these defeated soldiers escape and are seen by more soldiers, these emotions will be 'infected' to other soldiers, resulting in a collective rout of the army.

Therefore, in ancient times, on the battlefield, the way generals treated these defeated troops was basically the same, that is, kill!

Poof!

A defeated soldier was chopped down to the ground by Wang Ling who was rushing towards him with a knife.

"Those who shrink from the battle will be killed without mercy. I will kill them all."

Wang Ling roared angrily.

At the same time, a group of elite soldiers who followed behind him quickly took action to stop all the defeated soldiers, and mercilessly killed them all.

Dozens of the defeated soldiers were quickly killed. Wang Ling's ruthlessness and decisiveness frightened the other soldiers of Liu Army, and no one fled again.

Wang Ling's sharp eyes swept across many Liu soldiers, all of whom lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly into Wang Ling's eyes.

Wang Ling saw the danger signal in the eyes of these Liu Army soldiers. These Liu Army soldiers no longer wanted to fight.

At this time, the signs of a rout had just appeared. He led his trusted guards to attack them fiercely and killed them all, which was able to frighten these soldiers.

However, if time continues to drag on, if they can no longer make progress and cannot attack Luoqiu, then he may not be able to suppress the defeat of these soldiers.

Wang Ling understood at this moment that it was a matter of life and death.

"Gather all the soldiers together and challenge me again.

This time, all soldiers who can move must participate in the attack. They are only allowed to advance and not retreat.

If Luoqiu cannot be taken, no one is allowed to return.

This time, I will lead you to attack together and kill Shangluoqiu."

Wang Ling immediately made a decision, raised the bronze sword in his hand, and shouted loudly at the many generals behind him.

At this time, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he could only restore some of their morale by setting an example and personally leading these soldiers to attack.

Wang Ling was ready to make a desperate move and make a last-ditch effort.

"General, you are injured and can no longer lead the attack! Let me lead my men."

A trusted guard next to the royal tomb stopped the royal tomb and shouted anxiously.

"Get away!"

Wang Ling roared and kicked away the trusted guard.

"Wang Hai, if you stop me again, I will kill you for being cowardly in battle.

Now, pick up your weapons immediately and fight with this general.

This time, if you don’t succeed, you will succeed!”

Wang Ling was also a ruthless man and shouted at his trusted guard.

"Nuo, General, Hai is willing to fight to the death with you!"

The soldier named Wang Hai immediately got up and cried out.

"Soldiers, charge at me!"

Soon, Wang Ling regrouped the remaining four thousand men under his command and launched the final charge against Luoqiu.

Of the 10,000 soldiers he brought under his command, these are the only ones left after the battle. There are also many wounded soldiers who are unable to move and are of no use at all at this time.

"The rebels are attacking again, everyone, get ready. Fight as before!

Crossbow carriages, crossbowmen, prepare to shoot, let go!"

The soldiers of the Qin army on the hillock looked at the soldiers of the Liu army who were coming to kill them again, and they were always ready.

Whoosh whoosh!

The dense rain of arrows covered the attacking Liu Jun soldiers. Some of the Liu Jun soldiers held wooden shields in front of themselves or above their heads to block the arrows.

Some of Liu's soldiers did not have wooden shields, so they could only wave their bronze swords to try to deflect the incoming arrows.

Puff!

Soldiers continued to fall down with arrows, causing huge casualties to Liu Jun's soldiers.

"kill!"

But in the end, Wang Ling rushed up with his soldiers and fought with the Qin soldiers who swooped down from the mountainside.

The brutal close-quarters fighting began again.

And just when Wang Ling led the army and launched the final wave of decisive attack on Luoqiu.

In a dense forest east of Luoqiu, a group of soldiers finally passed through this huge dense forest and appeared at the foot of the mountain east of Luoqiu.

At this time, there was no one on the hillside east of Luoqiu, and there was no Qin army guarding it.

The Qin army in the hands of Zhuge Liang and Zhu Yong was not large, and the number of troops they could mobilize was only more than 30,000.

These 30,000 Qin troops were used to defend the five or six miles long riverbank. They were already stretched thin to deal with the more than 40,000 Liu troops crossing the river.
