Horse on the World

Chapter 513 Ice Crack
On the Tuojiang River, the torches are like stars, illuminating the attack surface several miles wide. The Zhenliao Battalion took over the Jinghai Battalion and continued to attack. From the afternoon until this time, Zeng Chong’s offensive has never stopped. It was extremely muddy, blood and mud mixed together, and was trampled into balls of mud by the soldiers' big feet.

Rao is an elite Dingzhou Army, and his will was tempered by Chen Zeyue, but he still inevitably felt tired in such a high-intensity battle. He just waved his sword numbly and stabbed down the enemy who appeared in front of him. Hack and kill.

Since nightfall, the catapults of the Dingzhou Army have been throwing fat-drenched firewood bundles at the attacking soldiers without interruption. extinguished, but when it comes to killing, it's ridiculous.

Zeng Yiyang was surprised when he saw that the opponent wanted to attack with fire in such a weather, but he couldn't help but find it funny. The burning fagots fell on the river, which played a greater role in illuminating the attacking army. It seemed that the opponent The donkeys are already at the end of their skills and can't do anything, and it is likely that the prepared stone bombs have also been exhausted, so they can only use this kind of thing to comfort the soldiers.

Near the second watch, something that excited Zeng Yiyang finally appeared. The Zhenliao Battalion attacked the river embankment, and the first line of defense of the Dingzhou Army was broken immediately, and the soldiers of the Zhenliao Battalion rushed up the river embankment like a tide.Zeng Yiyang was so excited that he didn't need to attack his opponent with his back. He carried a knife and walked to the Tuojiang River in person, stepping on the front line to supervise the battle.

Although the equipment of the Dingzhou Army is excellent, including headgear, gloves, and cotton-padded clothes, the cold weather still poses a huge threat to continuous combat in such weather. Chen Zeyue, who has been sitting in the command of the Chinese Army, has already had numb feet from the cold , watching the enemy army rushing up the river embankment like ants, frantically rushing towards their last position, I couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in my heart, there were too many enemies, even if I caused huge losses to the enemy , but he also suffered heavy sacrifices. Up to now, his subordinates have been killed and wounded, and more than half of the soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness.

There are so many enemies, so I am not afraid of this kind of consumption, but how long can I bear it? The arrangement on the Tuojiang River has not responded until now, and Chen Zeyue can't help but worry whether this method will work, if not , then today this place is probably my place of success.

Chen Zeyue didn't think he had the ability to persist until dawn.

On the opposite side of the Tuojiang River, Zeng Chong saw that Zeng Yiyang finally broke through the enemy's first line of defense. He couldn't help but slapped his thigh and yelled a good word. The first line of defense where the enemy is heavily concentrated is the turning point of this battle. The morale will be greatly boosted, and the difficulty of attack will begin to decrease. Not far away, he stood up, paced a few steps on the spot, looked at the dark left and right, and finally made up his mind.

"Order Zeng Yifei of the Jinghai Battalion to transfer two wings to support the Zhenliao Battalion, and strive to completely defeat the opponent before dawn!" Zeng Chong ordered.

Groups of soldiers were thrown into the battlefield. On the opposite side of the Tuojiang River, the Dingzhou Army began to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent in the forefront of the ice and snow fortress. Poured on the ice, before it can flow in the cold weather, new hot blood will cover it, and corpses will continue to fall heavily on the ground.

Chen Zeyue had already gone into battle in person, with his personal guards, forming the final reserve team. When the defense line was in danger, he rushed up. Wherever he appeared, the sword made of pure steel had already cut a gap. At that time, the whole army had fallen into a bitter battle, fighting on their own, and any order could no longer be effectively implemented. The soldiers who fought desperately were only fighting to survive. Killing the opponent would allow them to live an extra moment.

On the river surface covered in blood and mud, cracks like spider webs have appeared on the originally smooth river surface, and the cracks are expanding outward at an alarming speed. The sound is really hard to detect.

Stepping on it with big feet one after another, tens of thousands of people ran forward on the river at the same time, which made the cracks longer and thicker, and cracks that could insert a whole palm began to appear in some places.

The throwing soldiers of the Dingzhou Army at the back of the position put the last stone bullets on it, tightened the rope, and sent out the stone bullets violently. Dozens of stone bullets fell on the river. The soldiers pulled out their waists, roaring and rushed to the front line of defense.

A stone bullet landed on the river surface, made a loud sound, and actually shattered the ice surface, splashing several waves of water.A soldier who narrowly escaped the stone bomb attack was doused in ice water. He looked down in surprise, his eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his own eyes. When did the thick ice become so thin? Actually saw running water.

He opened his mouth wide, and with a slamming sound, one of his feet slammed into the air, and he fell sideways, half of his body submerged in the river. He dropped the weapon in his hand, and grabbed the river beside him with both hands. He tried his best to get up, but as he exerted his strength, the ice beside him cracked almost at the same time, and with a bang, he fell into the Tuojiang River with incomparable surprise.

Almost at the same time, the entire river made rattling sounds. The soldiers finally noticed the abnormality, stopped running, and looked at their feet.

Zeng Yiyang was high-spirited, holding a big flag in one hand and waving a big knife in the other, encouraging the soldiers to move forward. When the huge ice crack sounded, he lowered his head in shock, only to find that he was sinking slowly, with a circle several meters wide under his feet. Around the ice surface, irregular cracks appeared.

How can this be?This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, why is the ice surface of the Tuojiang River cracking in this season?

"General, the river is broken!" A soldier shouted.

Before Zeng Yiyang could react, he had already begun to sink faster. At this time, there was a huge roar on the river, and the originally integrated river was splitting into countless pieces, which were rapidly breaking apart, covering the river with soldiers from the Liaoying camp The dumpling fell into the water like a dumpling and disappeared without a trace.

"God's punishment!" Zeng Yiyang's mind suddenly flashed this absurd thought. At this time, his lower body was completely submerged in the water, and the soldiers around him were screaming in horror and stretched out their hands to him, trying to pull Zeng Yiyang up the river. , but then the ice around them also shattered with a clearing sound.Fall into the river first.

The soldiers of the Zhenliao Battalion on the densely covered river exploded in an instant. The huge fear made them into a mess. Some rushed forward desperately, while others turned around and ran back, huddled together. As their movements increased, The speed at which the ice broke was accelerating, and the people who fell fell one by one at the beginning, and now they are in groups.

The soldiers of the Zhenliao camp who had climbed ashore and were desperately attacking noticed the strange situation behind them and turned their heads in horror, only to see that their companions were disappearing from the river quickly. Cracked, and the flowing water hit the ice in front, causing huge splashes.

Fear keeps everyone frozen in place.

Shocking cheers erupted from the Dingzhou Army's position, Wan Sheng, Mighty, Long Live's roar instantly overwhelmed the other voices, and the numb Dingzhou soldiers suddenly felt full of strength, one by one from the position. He jumped up, waved the Wukui in his hand, and slashed at the desperate Zhenliao soldiers.

"God has appeared!" Someone shouted loudly.

This roar completely shattered the last will of the soldiers of the Zhenliao Battalion. Yes, if God hadn’t appeared to punish them, why would the Tuojiang River thaw at this time, and the cracked ice was only within the few miles they attacked? ?
Full of the joy of victory, Zeng Chong experienced the transition from heaven to hell in a short period of time. Like all soldiers, he didn't understand why the Tuojiang River would split open at this time, swallowing the entire town and Liao camp. At the time of a stick of incense, on the front of the attack several miles wide, the water of the Tuojiang River revealed his majesty. The rushing water of the river collided with the ice not far away, causing waves of waves. His legs softened and he sat down. on the ground.

Is it God's punishment?Is this the will of God?Why choose at this time, why choose yourself?

On the other side, being blocked from returning, there were roaring Dingzhou army soldiers rushing in front of them, and the rushing Tuojiang River behind them. In despair, they dropped their weapons and fell to their knees. Cut off mercilessly to the ground.

Two wings of soldiers from the Jinghai Battalion went to support the Zhenliao Battalion. The first wing had already descended to the river and was swallowed by the ruthless river water without even spitting it out. The second wing was about to climb over the embankment. and make them back again and again in horror.

Zeng Chong spat out a mouthful of blood. From a big victory to a big defeat, the sudden double heaven of sorrow and joy made him unable to bear it anymore.

"General!" The guards on both sides woke up from the shock and helped Zeng Chong up.

At this time, apart from the loud cheers and shouts from the other side, there was a deathly silence on this side of the river. Thousands of people stared blankly at the rushing water, lost their souls.

In the distance, there were bursts of shouting and killing. Zeng Chong tried his best to raise his head. On his left, a few miles away, a winding black line was rushing across the Tuojiang River. His body trembled, it was Li Qing's. The personal guard battalion, but why, they and their armed cavalry can cross the river calmly, but they broke the ice here?
Li Qing's personal guard camp!Zeng Chong suddenly reacted, jumped up like an electric shock, and shouted loudly: "Make the formation, form the formation!"

The Li Qing Guards Battalion who had crossed the river was rushing towards this side quickly. The distance of a few miles was only a few breaths for the cavalry. Down, desperately gathered towards Zeng Chong's Chinese army flag. In today's Jinghai camp, the soldiers are scattered widely. If the cavalry rushed to the front, it would be a one-sided massacre.
