Chapter 711: The Iron Wall Trembles
"General Zhonglang?!"

"General Duan is dead!"

"It's over, it's all over!"

"Run!"

Duan Wei's death instantly triggered a chain reaction among this group of ambushed troops.

A large number of ambush troops who were hiding on other "platforms" and shooting at Lu Bu and others on the mountain suddenly became morale-conscious and they abandoned their weapons and fled.

Their morale was originally low, and they were barely able to hold on thanks to Duan Wei's orders and their fear of Su Yao's army. Now that their commander was dead, they no longer had any desire to fight.

"Don't run! Hold on!"

Seeing this, Wang Hong yelled anxiously, trying to save the situation.

He knew very well that once the army's morale was broken, it would be difficult to gather it again.

However, his voice was so weak in the chaotic battlefield that it was difficult to stop the soldiers from fleeing.

Seeing this, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others on the mountain became more motivated and launched an even more fierce attack.

As these enemy troops came out of their hiding places one after another, the rain of arrows fired by the people on the mountain became more and more accurate.

Especially Lu Bu, who was in a dominant position and could shoot accurately from a hundred paces away.

When he saw that some enemy generals like Wang Hong were trying to save the situation, he immediately bent his bow and arrow, aimed at the target and shot.

Wang Hongzheng shouted with all his might, trying to stabilize the morale of the troops, but he did not expect that death had already arrived quietly.

He suddenly felt a piercing chill, and before he could react, the arrow had pierced his heart.

Wang Hong opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out and his body slowly fell down.

"Military Marquis!"

The surrounding soldiers cried out in shock, and when they saw their commander fall to the ground, their fear and despair grew even greater.

"Run!"

"You can't win. You can't win at all. Run!"

The soldiers dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, and the entire battlefield was in chaos.

Seeing this, Lu Bu curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. He bent his bow and arrow again, aiming at the fleeing enemy soldiers. He shot arrow after arrow, and people kept falling down.

At the same time, Su Yao was invincible on the battlefield.

He brandished a Mo Dao, leaped and moved between steep cliffs, and chased the fleeing enemy soldiers, slashing them madly all the way.

In a hurry, the bandit soldiers panicked and lost their way, and countless of them fell off the cliff.

Soon, this ambush ended with a complete victory for Su Yao's army.

On the battlefield, the enemy's corpses were everywhere and blood was flowing like a river, but Su Yao's army was in high spirits and prepared to continue advancing towards Tongguan.

The more than 2,000 elite soldiers and rock climbing experts of the Duanwei Army, who were highly expected by Dong Yue and others, were completely wiped out.

Just as quickly, the bad news was delivered to the residence of General Dong Yue, the General in Charge of the Eastern Expedition, just one day later.

"What?! Are you serious?!"

"General Duan, and the elite soldiers he brought with him, are all dead?!"

"Are you the only ones who came back?"

Dong Yue clenched his fists, staring at the few defeated soldiers kneeling in the hall, his voice trembling with anger.

"General, it is absolutely true!"

One of the soldiers mustered up his courage and was about to stammer an explanation when he heard Dong Yue shout angrily:
"waste!"

Dong Yue kicked the soldier to the ground:
"With so many of you, you couldn't even stop his vanguard, and let him break through our defense so easily!"

The soldier was kicked until he vomited blood, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He just lay on the ground, trembling.

Frankly speaking, he was really unjustly kicked.

After all, these soldiers are not combatants at all.

They were sentinels of Duan Wei's army, responsible for contact and coordination with Tongguan. Therefore, when the battle broke out, they did not participate in the battle, but quickly moved and relayed the intelligence back:

"General Dong, it's not that we are incompetent, but that the enemy is too outrageous."

"That traitor Su Yao, he, he is simply a devil!"

"On that steep cliff, he is more agile than a monkey!"

"He carried a huge machete and crushed everyone he touched!"

It seemed that Su Yao had left such a deep impression on them that they simply chose to ignore the scene where they were shot down by the army.

However, even so, Dong Yue still found it difficult to accept.

Dong Yue originally thought that by using the mountain terrain to block the enemy layer by layer and adopt dynamic defense, he could at least hold out for a dozen days, thereby weakening Su Yao's power and hitting their momentum.

But who would have thought that the entire army would be wiped out? !
Not to mention that Tongguan originally had only two of their 8,000-strong garrison, and that their army was badly damaged after losing these 2,000 men, the blow to morale from this defeat alone was difficult to estimate.

Tragic, too tragic!
Dong Yue was so angry that his face turned blue. He paced back and forth in the conference room, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

But this time, when he asked again about the countermeasures, no one could respond.

If the plan of multiple lines of defense and dynamic defense fails, we can only return to the route of retreating and defending.

This time, Dong Yue withdrew all the personnel outside the pass and continued to strengthen the pass with all his strength. He adopted an attitude of fighting to the end and was determined to fight a war of attrition with Su Yao.

On the other side, Su Yao was not in a hurry either.

After destroying Duan Wei's troops and confirming that the road was clear and there were no ambushes, he began to slowly clean up the battlefield.

"Hurry, hurry, collect all this wood."

"As for these arrows, we must make full use of them."

"Killing people and looting them is common sense!"

"."

Wang Ling and others helplessly looked at Su Yao, who suddenly stopped in his tracks and did not move forward.

However, they were not dissatisfied with this order.
Except that the location of the bodies is really worrying.

After all, deep winter is approaching, and wood is the most important supply in the mountains.

Whether it is for building siege equipment or for camping and heating, the army needs a large amount of wood.

In order to ambush them, Duan Wei's troops prepared a large number of rolling logs in advance, which were indeed rare resources.

At the same time, the weapons and equipment left behind by these ambushes can greatly maintain their combat effectiveness and reduce their loss of weapons after the war.

However, to their surprise, although Su Junhou had explained these things in the past, he never let them affect the speed of the advance.

Why is it that Lord Su suddenly slowed down when they are about to reach Tongguan?
"Does Lord Su have no confidence in taking Tongguan?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.

"That's right. Tongguan is different from other places. We don't have any shortcuts. We have to attack it head-on." Zhao Yun nodded helplessly.

"If that's the case, isn't this the first time that Lord Su has honestly attacked a city?"

Wang Ling smiled in silence:
"As a result, the first city we attacked was a strong fortress like Tongguan. We are really lucky."

"Oh, don't talk about this anymore. If this is the case, we really need to prepare well."

Lu Bu slapped his thigh, stood up and prepared to check for any gaps and told his soldiers to prepare for a tough battle.

At this moment, Su Yao came over and laughed:
"What are you thinking about? Am I the one who fights that stupid battle?"

"Just wait a few more days and this iron wall of Tongguan will surely collapse!"

"What???"

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Wang Ling and others looked at each other in confusion, not understanding why Su Yao was so confident.

"Does Your Excellency have a good plan to repel the enemy?" Wang Ling asked.

"Please come quickly, don't keep me waiting here anxiously." Lu Bu said.

Su Yao just smiled and waved his hand, then skipped away into the mountains.
