Tang Qingchuan was surrounded by everyone, and his expression did not change at all. But only he knew that his heart was bleeding at this time. Because he knew that with every sound, there were countless warriors accompanying him.
life and perish.
From the beginning of the bombardment, there was no intention of stopping. It kept lifting the ground high, and then slowly fell down under the gravity of the earth. The difference was that in addition to the dust when it fell, there was also a lot of dust.
Little flesh and blood and broken limbs.
The sky thunder doesn't have eyes, it doesn't care whether you are a soldier or a general, it treats you equally. In this way, many loyal soldiers of the King's Army were killed, and some elite inspectors were killed, or even wiped out by the regiment.
.
From time to time, messengers would ride back on horseback to report the results of the battle to Tang Qingchuan of the Chinese army. The death figures were reported one by one, which was unbearable.
One hour has passed, two hours have passed...
There was already light in the sky, and when the fish belly white could be seen in the distance, a military accountant came forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, within two hours, we have died in battle."
There are more than 10,000 generals, and countless injured..."
"Okay, that's enough. There's no need to report any more. The supply of the Chinese army has been cut off. Every time one of their sky mines is used, one will be missing. Don't be afraid." He said in a tough tone, or said
Emphasizing certain issues, in fact, when he said these words, Tang Qingchuan's fear was already written on his face.
Perhaps to confirm what he said, after the sky began to light up completely, the frequency of thunder from the tower in Anping County finally slowed down.
It no longer had the roaring appearance before, but became sparse.
"Haha, the sky thunder in the city is about to be used up. Pass my order, General Xie Guan's command, and the entire army will be dispatched." While Tang Qingchuan laughed, he was still very cautious. He did not order the entire army to charge, but just ordered
Xie Guan continued to test.
After the military order was issued, Xie Guan, who had been waiting on the left wing of the army for a long time, set off with his 50,000 troops, swooping forward like a tiger.
"Set arrows, release arrows, three for each person, and then retreat as fast as possible." A battalion commander of the Second Field Division guarding the first line of defense shouted loudly, and then took the lead in pointing the bow and arrow in his hand at the charging enemy.
The densely packed army of loyal kings was released.
After firing the three arrows, without even looking to see if they hit the enemy, the battalion commander turned around and ran away. The other soldiers followed suit and started running backwards.
With the beating of war drums, batches of loyal troops rushed straight towards the first line of defense, and then shouted loudly, proving that they had won the victory.
"Haha, okay, okay! Did you see that? Without the help of Tianlei, the Great China Army can't do much, hahaha." Tang Qingchuan couldn't help laughing happily when he saw this scene.
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, a general immediately came forward to ask for a fight and asked if he should continue to send a large army to charge.
"No! We still have to wait. General Xie Guan's 50,000 troops are enough to fight for a while." Tang Qingchuan said calmly, and his face returned to normal. He was not dazzled by the victory in front of him.
, this alone makes him a qualified general.
On the battlefield, the first line of defense was easily broken through. On the city tower, Commander Wu Hu, Brigadier Jiang Fenghua and others all saw this scene in their eyes. After seeing the loyal king's army, they did not react for a moment.
After the victory and the deployment of too many troops, the two military chiefs looked at each other, and Wu Hu was the first to speak: "It seems that Tang Qingchuan will not be as easy to deal with as we imagined. If we don't pay some
He won’t be fooled at the price.”
"Well, let's just fight. This brigade commander believes in the strength of the Second Field Division." Jiang Fenghua nodded and said in agreement.
"Haha, okay, that being the case, let Brigadier Jiang and his colleagues take a look at how our Second Field Division's field capabilities have improved. Come on, order the troops to attack and seize the lost first line of defense.
return."
According to the plan they made before, if once they withdraw, the King's loyal army will attack the border in large numbers, they will implement it according to the original plan. But now that the other party is not fooled and remains calm, then they must increase their chips.
Okay, let’s make the battle situation clearer.
The division commander gave the order and ordered the flag bearer to wave his hands. The military order was quickly transmitted to the city. Thousands of soldiers of the Second Field Army on the second line of defense, after giving the order from the company commanders of each battalion, rushed towards them with knives and guns.
He rushed out.
During the impact, the bows and arrows in their hands fell forward like rain. This move caught the Zhongwang Army by surprise.
Having so easily occupied the first line of defense, Xie Guan was feeling very happy at the same time, and was also preparing for the army to stabilize the line of defense. Only when the army came up would he have the confidence to continue attacking.
As long as his army reaches the first line of defense, he will have enough confidence to hold it and attack the second line of defense.
What I never expected was that the Dahua army on the opposite side would react so quickly. Before his vanguard army could gain a firm foothold, they came back and killed them. This time, it was good, as they caught them off guard.
The bows and arrows fell, and the soldiers of the loyal king's army who had just rushed into the first line of defense, after throwing away hundreds of corpses, finally had to withdraw from the line of defense because they were outnumbered and lacked preparation. Following here, they were attacked by the rushing Dahua army.
After occupying the area, another barrage of bows and arrows was shot out, falling on the loyal king's troops who were either fleeing or charging towards them, causing another small amount of damage.
"Where are the shield bearers? Gather together and move forward together. The archers will counterattack at any time, and the swordsmen and gunners are ready for the impact." Xie Guan, who was riding a horse, shouted loudly, commanding and dispatching the tens of thousands in his hands.
Army.
After a temporary panic, the loyal king's army began to gather again, and just as they were waiting for the order to launch a group charge, there was another roar in the sky, which attracted many loyal king's soldiers to quickly lie down on the ground.
.
Boom boom boom... boom boom boom...
Sure enough, another round of thunder fell, landing on the battlefield and raising a cloud of dust.
The soldiers of the King's Loyal Army, who had been well prepared, fell down one step ahead of time, so the losses were not very great. Xie Guan also lay down on the ground under the protection of his own soldiers. When he heard the noise, the battlefield resumed its normal state.
After regaining his composure, he shook his head, removed the dust on his head and said loudly: "The Chinese army has been cut off from supplies, and there are not many thunders left. Don't be afraid, everyone, keep charging!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers, led by their respective generals, stood up from the ground, and then began to stride forward, rushing towards the first line of defense of the Chinese Army for the second time.
"Fire the arrow and retreat."
Continuing the previous scene, the Dahua Army had no intention of engaging in close combat with the soldiers of the King's Loyal Army. They still relied on the strong bows in their hands to carry out a long-distance attack and then retreated.
"Occupy the first line of defense and stabilize the situation." Xie Guan looked at everything in front of him, with contempt in his eyes. These Chinese soldiers knew how to hurt people with long-range weapons, but they didn't even have the courage to fight in close combat.
The army is in vain to be called a strong army.
At this moment, not only Xie Guan, who was on the front line, thought so, but Tang Qingchuan, who was in the Chinese Army, also thought the same way. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the Chinese Army.
The Great China Army is powerful, and there are some elites among it. But after all, the time to form an army is too short, and it is impossible for everyone to be an elite. Just like the army in front of you, it relies on thunder.
, when there is no encouragement from this thing, the originally insufficient strength will naturally be revealed.
"Have you been too careful?" Thinking this in his heart, Tang Qingchuan already had the intention of sending a large army to suppress him.
Shortly after the first line of defense was lost, the second and third lines of defense were also lost in sequence. By nightfall, the loyal king's army had occupied four lines of defense and advanced to three miles below Anping County.
Within this distance, the catapults of the loyal king's army can already be effective.
Within this distance, King Zhong's advantage of having many soldiers and generals could finally be shown.
"How is the battle going?" Brigadier Jiang Fenghua asked Commander Wu Hu on top of the torch-lit tower.
"In the daytime battle, more than 800 people were killed and more than 2,000 injured." Wu Hu sighed and said. Although this loss is really nothing for hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield, it has a solid
The city defense was equipped with such a powerful weapon as the sky thunder, but so many people died, Wu Hu still felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Fenghua also sighed after hearing the result, and then said: "The blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain. It is precisely because of their bravery that they successfully completed our arrangement. Next, we will wait for the wolf to fall into the trap."
"Well, their blood will not be shed in vain. By the way, have your firearms brigade withdrawn from the city?" Wu Hu asked about business.
"Most of them have already been evacuated. It will be almost done in another hour. I still have to work hard to break up the rear." Jiang Fenghua said with a grateful look on his face.
"It doesn't matter. If we fight during the day, the Loyal King's army will suffer greater losses. If the predictions are correct, they won't attack the city at night." Wu Hu said, looking at the military tent with torches lit continuously in the darkness in the distance.
With.
Tang Qingchuan indeed had no intention of attacking the city at night.
During the daytime battle, the Dahua Army used long-range weapons to continuously shoot and kill his soldiers. The defense line changed hands and was robbed several times, causing him to lose tens of thousands of people.
In just one day's battle, tens of thousands of people were lost. Tang Qingchuan really couldn't imagine how great the losses would be if he attacked the city at night. So he simply decided to have a good night's rest.
On the battlefield, it is not a good thing to be mentally tense all the time. If you relax appropriately, you may feel better and more energetic when fighting again in the future.
There were nearly half a million troops, and the camp alone stretched for dozens of miles. From time to time, the sound of cavalry and patrol soldiers patrolling away could be heard outside. Amidst such sounds, Tang Qingchuan slept soundly. This chapter has been completed!
