Chapter 2048 Frenzied Attack
The frenzied shouts soared into the sky, and all fatigue seemed to be dispelled at this moment, replaced by an infinite sense of glory under the emperor's gaze and a crazy fighting spirit that was willing to die for the cause!
Ran Ming jumped off the battering ram and began the final preparations.
The 60,000-strong army was quickly divided into six 10,000-strong echelons, like six deadly arrows ready to be released at midnight, ready to unleash their destructive power.
The entire Ranming army camp was filled with an almost religious fervor and a deathly silence before the decisive battle, which contrasted sharply with the silence of the Tang army camp in the distance.
After receiving the order, Zhao Yu began to make more covert and precise mobilizations.
Like ghosts, the white-clad cavalrymen silently assembled at their designated location under the cover of night.
Midnight is approaching.
At the stroke of midnight, the silent night sky was suddenly torn apart by a thunderous battle roar!
"For His Majesty! Kill—!"
Ran Ming took the lead, his shiny bald head shining like a bloodthirsty star in the torchlight.
With a giant axe as big as a door panel in his hand, he cut through the darkness and took the lead, leading the first echelon of 10,000 heavily armored Chu infantrymen who were like tigers released from their cages, launching a desperate charge towards the gap that Zhao Yu had torn open in the Tang army camp during the day and had barely repaired!
There was no probing, no holding back; it was a ferocious, desperate attack from the very beginning!
"Enemy attack—! The Chu army is launching a night attack!"
The sentries in the Tang army camp sounded a piercing alarm.
In an instant, torches lit up the camp walls, and the Tang soldiers, who were already on edge, quickly took their battle positions.
Arrows rained down from behind the camp like a sudden downpour, falling into the ranks of the charging Chu army with a deathly shriek!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh was incessant, and Chu soldiers fell to the ground, constantly struck by arrows. But those behind them immediately stepped over Tong Ze's corpses, roaring like wild beasts, and continued to charge forward!
They held their shields high, ignoring their fallen comrades, their eyes fixed only on the ever-approaching fortress ahead! His Majesty watched from the city walls; they could not retreat, nor dared they!
"Bang! Boom—!"
The first wave of Chu troops crashed into the Tang army's camp walls and palisades like a torrent of flesh and blood!
The enormous impact caused the already dilapidated defensive fortifications to shake violently!
Ran Ming roared and swung his giant axe wildly, smashing a section of the fence to pieces and charging into the enemy camp first!
"Block them! Spears forward! Don't retreat an inch!"
Tang general Liu Hongji shouted hoarsely, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.
Behind the camp wall, a dense forest of spears suddenly thrust out, piercing through many of the Chu soldiers who had just broken in!
But many more fierce Chu soldiers, their eyes red with fury, charged into the forest of spears, hacked at the spear shafts with their swords, and even grabbed the spears that were thrust at them, creating opportunities for their comrades behind them!
The battle immediately turned into the most brutal and bloody close-quarters combat!
Amidst the flashing blades and flying flesh, roars, screams, and the clashing of weapons, a symphony of hell was played.
The Tang army's resistance was exceptionally fierce. They knew that if this place fell, the main camp would be wide open, and everyone understood that there was no way to retreat.
Relying on the makeshift low walls and trenches within the camp, they launched a series of attacks, using arrows, rolling logs, and even boiling molten gold to relentlessly slaughter the Chu army that surged in.
Fierce battles are erupting in every corner, and every inch of land is being fought over repeatedly.
Every step the Chu army took forward came at a heavy cost; corpses piled up near the breach, almost forming a new wall.
However, the offensive of the Ranming tribe was like a tsunami, with one wave subsiding only to be followed by another!
Just as the first echelon was locked in a fierce battle with the Tang army and was almost exhausted, the earth-shaking war drums sounded again!
"Second wave! Move up!"
With the roar of the commanding general, another 10,000 fresh troops surged forward like a tidal wave, instantly replacing the almost annihilated first echelon and injecting even more ferocious power into this meat grinder-like battle!
Ran Ming was covered in blood, it was unclear whether it was from the enemy or his own.
He leaned on his giant axe, slightly out of breath, and looked at the second wave of troops surging forward like a tide. There was no sign of retreat in his eyes, only an even more intense fighting spirit.
He retreated slightly, not out of fear of battle, but to wait for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
The pressure on the Tang army has increased dramatically!
They faced a relentless and fierce attack from the Chu army, regardless of casualties.
The disparity in troop strength and morale was now clearly evident.
Despite their desperate resistance and even several fierce counterattacks, they temporarily repelled the Chu army that had broken through.
However, under the relentless onslaught of the Chu army, the defensive line was gradually being eroded and compressed.
At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), the third echelon entered the battle!
At dawn, the fourth echelon surged forward like an iron torrent!
At the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), the fifth echelon roared and joined the battle!
For the rest of the night, this area was transformed into a true hell on earth.
In the firelight, there were corpses lying everywhere, broken armor, and flowing blood that had turned the ground into a dark red swamp.
The Chu army's offensive was like a relentless giant wave, while the Tang army's defenses were like a sand embankment that was constantly being eroded. Although it still stood stubbornly, it was already riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.
When the first rays of dawn tore through the darkness and illuminated the bloody battlefield, the battle had already lasted for three hours, reaching the hour of Chen (7-9 AM).
The sixth and final echelon of the Ranming tribe had been assembled. Although the number of people was less than 10,000, their fierce and determined spirit had reached its peak.
The Tang army, which was holding out here, had reached its limit.
The intense fighting that lasted all night, the enormous depletion of their manpower and physical strength, and the psychological pressure of watching the seemingly endless, wave after wave of Chu army attacks brought their will to the brink of collapse.
Many soldiers were wielding their weapons purely out of instinct and a last shred of duty, their eyes already numb.
The defensive line was breached in many places, and the core area of the camp was exposed to the Chu army's advance.
The remaining Tang troops were divided and surrounded in several isolated points, putting up a last stand, but defeat was inevitable.
Ran Ming wiped the blood and sweat splattered on his face, looked at the sparse Tang army flags and the crumbling last line of defense ahead, and grinned, revealing a tired and ferocious smile.
He knew that the toughest bone was finally about to be gnawed down.
He raised his giant axe and let out a hoarse yet still powerful roar:
"Men! The Tang dogs are finished! Charge with me! Crush them, kill them!"
"kill--!"
The final charge has begun!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield...
Zhao Yu, who had been patiently waiting for the right moment, saw that Ran Ming's troops had attracted almost all the attention of the Tang army, and their defenses had become distorted and exposed new weaknesses.
A cold glint of attack finally flashed in his eyes!
