When it falls into everyone's ears, there will always be temporary deafness.
Then the earth moved, like an earth dragon turning over. Huge cracks began to appear on the ground, destroying some houses on the surface. Many unfortunate soldiers were directly covered by the rubble.
When there are enough thunders, they all start to explode. The sound is one after another, and the power becomes more and more intense with the continuous explosions, until more houses are knocked down and more and huge cracks in the ground are exposed.
Crying, scolding, and shouting came and went...
Cries for help, screams, and the sound of horses are heard one after another...
The sound of crashing, the sound of houses collapsing, and the toppling of heavy objects are happening every moment...
After not taking much breath, cracks began to appear on all four walls of Anping County, and then they collapsed amidst countless screams. With just this blow, no one knew how many people were buried, how many were injured, and how many people were injured.
How many people were destroyed.
Anping County, which originally stood on the earth and seemed mighty and majestic, has now transformed into a hell on earth. It seems to have transformed into a wild beast, opening its huge mouth and beginning to greedily devour human lives.
Everything happened so suddenly.
No one expected that such a thing would happen, so when Tang Qingchuan, who was sleeping on the bed, was directly hit by a beam on his legs, his first feeling was that it was a dream and not something that really happened.
But when the pain in his leg began to spread throughout his body, he realized that it was all true. Then he began to pray in his heart and admit his mistake to God. He thought this was God's punishment for him.
It’s not wrong to say that all this is caused by thunder. What is it if it’s not a punishment from heaven?
Explosions resounded throughout the city, and the worst victims were the soldiers who lived in civilian homes. Their houses were not very strong to begin with. After the explosion, the first house to collapse was where they lived. However,
Do you know how many people were directly buried?
Secondly, for people like Tang Qingchuan, the house they live in is relatively solid, so as long as they are rescued in time, they will be injured at most and not really lose their lives.
The luckiest ones were the soldiers standing in the open space or patrolling the streets. They were only knocked to the ground by the huge shaking force, and at most they were only slightly injured.
And it was this kind of people who, because they had not slept and kept their minds very clear, became the main force in rescuing people. Tang Qingchuan was carried out of the wing by the guards of the patrol team outside the mansion.
Although Tang Qingchuan's legs were already covered in blood at this time, he did not let out a howl. When he came to the relatively safe compound, his first words asked the guards to look for the generals.
He wants to know what the battle damage is?
The emperor's order was issued, but in this chaotic night, how could it be executed so quickly. The guards didn't even know whether the generals were alive or dead, so how could they be notified to report the situation?
All the guards could do was to carry Tang Qingchuan from the wing to the courtyard. This place was relatively wider and the impact of the Earth Dragon's turning over would be much smaller.
Tang Qingchuan fainted from the pain. He was an old man after all. His legs were broken, and the army suffered countless losses. Under the dual physical and psychological pressure, he finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
This time, the others were helpless and didn't know what to do next. They seemed to have no choice but to wait. Waiting for the smoke to dissipate, waiting for the final battle report to come, and waiting for their emperor to wake up again.
Suddenly there was the sound of dense footsteps outside the courtyard, and the cavalry general Pan An rushed over with a group of subordinates.
"General Pan, how are you doing?" General Wang Sheng, who was in charge of night patrol tonight, rushed to Tang Qingchuan's side immediately. After seeing Pan Guang, he quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation.
"Not optimistic. Our scouts have discovered the Dahua Cavalry thirty miles away. They are actually flying the banner of Shanshan Guard, and..." Pan Guang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"And what?" Wang Sheng had a bad feeling.
"And they came from the direction of Dongwu City." Pan Guang knew that this was not the time to conceal military information, so he simply told the truth.
"What? Dongwu City? So, doesn't it mean that the Dahua Cavalry has cut off our retreat?" Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng's expression changed drastically.
When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing is to avoid cutting off the retreat. This will seriously shake the morale of the army. If it is not done well, it is possible for the army to mutiny. After all, there is no retreat. Not only does it prove that you are a lone army,
More importantly, they will no longer receive any assistance.
"It looks like this. Our retreat is probably no longer safe. This general is here to ask the emperor for instructions. Should we retreat first and use the last general's 50,000 cavalry to fight a bloody road back to Luzhou?
No problem."
"Well... the emperor has fainted. Hey, General Pan should come and see it by himself." Wang Sheng, who didn't know how to express his words after thinking about it, simply made way for Pan Guang to see what the emperor had become.
What does it look like.
Pan Guang strode in, and what he saw soon shocked him to a halt. When he saw that his legs covered with blankets were still bleeding, he knew that he could not save his legs.
.
It's scary to think that the king of a country should become a disabled person. Because no one knows whether Tang Qingchuan's temperament will change drastically after losing his legs, and what will be the future destiny of these generals.
"General Pan, you have seen the situation. The emperor can't give any orders now. Looking at the future, we should leave Anping County first and wait for everything to return to Luzhou before making long-term plans." Wang Sheng put forward his own plan.
It is suggested that there is no way to do this. A big explosion caused the loss of more than half of the loyal king's army and suffered heavy losses.
Now that the way back has been cut off, attacking Daliang City is already a joke. Even so, it is better to retreat to Luzhou and reorganize the army. Even if it doesn't work, we must first protect the current territory.
"Hey, this is the only way." Pan Guang naturally saw that the situation on the battlefield was no longer favorable. If he persisted in fighting and failed, no one would be able to survive. It would be better to withdraw to Luzhou first.
.
After exchanging opinions, the two generals quickly set their goals. At that moment, the messengers dispersed. They wanted to notify all available military forces in the city and let them break out and return to Luzhou.
As for Wang Sheng, he led tens of thousands of elite loyalist troops to break out and return overnight together with Pan Guang to protect Tang Qingchuan who was still in a coma.
People say that the battlefield is ever-changing and there are no fixed rules. But like today, it is relatively rare to go from a great victory to a great defeat just overnight. And all of this was caused by the loyal army's underestimation of the enemy's advance.
.Of course, Xiang Long Qiang’s intentionally sent wrong signal was also one of the triggers that led to the army’s defeat.
Don't talk about the process, just look at the result. The loyal king's army was defeated.
Anping County was destroyed in an instant, which was the price paid by the Great China.
In exchange, 100,000 loyal troops were lost, more than 200,000 loyal troops were injured, and the remaining loyal troops were also frightened.
At dawn, something more terrible happened. The Chinese army that had retreated returned to the city of Anping County. The only difference was that this time they faced no city walls and turned into a pile of ruins and rubble.
city.
More than 100,000 soldiers of the Second Field Army were dispatched. They were divided into more than a dozen groups and swarmed like locusts covering the sky. They strode into the city and came to the front of the loyal army.
The soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers. The entire city was filled with loyal troops who were wailing everywhere. They basically did not resist. Hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers were all captured.
Commander Wu Hu was riding on a tall horse. From time to time, messengers would run up to him and report on the results of each brigade and regiment. Beside him, the division secretary was writing down notes one by one until
On the third day, the final result was achieved. In this battle, 75,846 enemies were killed and 278,438 were captured.
Among them, the bodies of some lieutenant generals of the loyal king's army were also found. For example, the former Guzhou commander Sang Doubei, including his deputy generals Hua An and Lu Feng.
For example, An Zhiwu, the general of the Zhongwang Army. He was not killed immediately, he was just injured. But then he made a wrong decision, that is, he wanted to prepare for war. He believed that the Dahua Army
If such a big thing happened, he would definitely be killed, so he wanted to gather his troops again and have a tit-for-tat confrontation with the Great Chinese Army.
It is a pity that An Zhiwu is the only one who has such thoughts and ideas. The other generals and soldiers have long been frightened by the sound of the explosion. Most of them believe that being able to survive is already a blessing from God.
I guess. Then they can't live up to this good intention. If the Chinese army comes, they can just surrender.
After all, an enemy that can cause such great destructive power is simply not something they can fight against.
But at this time, An Zhiwu jumped out, wanting to lead everyone to continue to resist, or to die. How could everyone who had finally escaped death agree?
In the past, because he was a general, even if he made some decisions that made everyone dissatisfied, they could only stand up to them. But it is different now. Everyone is a corrupt person. We managed to survive. How can you survive?
Why should we continue to die?
After the generals who did not want to die came together, they made an astonishing decision, that is, they would resist and fight for themselves. The next thing would be much simpler. With the joint efforts of the following generals, except An Zhiwu,
, even his personal soldiers and other generals were all killed, and these heads became objects of military merit in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Great Chinese Army. This chapter has been completed!
