"Don't worry about the sky and keep moving forward!"
Li Lingrui stood at the entrance of the cave, shouting at the top of his lungs.
But the moment the hot air balloon flew over, the party soldiers were in chaos, the orderlies were trampled to death, and his orders could not be conveyed at all.
"It's over!"
Li Lingrui looked up at the hot air balloon with mixed feelings in his heart.
There is anger and unwillingness, but mostly despair!
When the results of the Battle of Qingshui Valley were reported back to Dangxiang, many Dangxiang generals felt that the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition at that time was incompetent. Tens of thousands of people were defeated by three thousand Tielin troops.
Li Lingrui is also one of them.
When he received the appointment as the commander-in-chief of this southern expedition, Li Lingrui swore in his heart that he would keep Jin Feng and avenge his previous shame.
So when Jin Feng led the Shu army to evacuate overnight, Li Lingrui regretted it, fearing that Jin Feng would escape.
As a result, Jin Feng did not escape, but just moved his position to Brass Valley.
In fact, in that confrontation, Li Lingrui was completely defeated by Jin Feng.
But Li Lingrui was not discouraged. Instead, he was aroused to win and lost, and he was even more eager to defeat Jin Feng.
It was only now that Li Lingrui had to admit it in his heart.
He lost!
No matter how much advantage he had before, the moment the hot air balloon appeared, he completely failed!
Not only the troops of the King of Qin were frightened when they saw the hot air balloon, but also the soldiers of the Party.
After all, the airship of the Zhenyuan Escort once blew up their palace, and then it was still circling the Dangxiang King City for several months. It was not until Hai Dongqing appeared that the airship finally disappeared.
But those months were a nightmare for all party dignitaries!
Now, the nightmare has come again!
When he first set up camp here, Li Lingrui deliberately spread out his soldiers to prevent them from being bombed.
Later, after the battle between the hot air balloon and the falcon, Li Lingrui guessed that Jin Feng had no hot air balloon, and deliberately tested it several times when formulating the battle plan, and then became more and more courageous.
Especially when he learned that the reinforcements led by Guan Xiaorou were about to arrive, Li Lingrui became even more anxious and ordered the Southern Expeditionary Army to rush forward in an attempt to capture Brass Valley as soon as possible.
At this time, almost half of the party's soldiers were crowded in the narrow brass ditch, and the other half were also gathered in the camp. The density of personnel was very high.
The Tielin Army on the hot air balloon does not need to aim at all. Just throw a grenade down and it will not blow up.
Li Lingrui was afraid of being bombed, so he hid in the cave desperately. Ordinary soldiers were also human beings, and they would be afraid too.
The morale of the Southern Expeditionary Army collapsed instantly, and they all fled around like headless flies, looking for a place to avoid the bombing.
But the Shu soldiers, who were already desperate, roared with excitement and rushed out with their swords in hand.
After so many days of fighting, too many Shu troops died. Almost every Shu soldier had relatives and friends who died at the hands of Dangxiang and Qin Wang's troops.
Now that the party members have begun to flee, it is the best time to hunt them down and avenge their sacrificed comrades!
Even the female soldiers threw away their obstructive muskets and prepared to pursue them with all their strength.
But at this moment, Da Zhuang asked the messenger to ring the gong and order the troops to retreat.
It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. This is the first article of the soldier's code.
No matter how unwilling the Shu army was, they still returned to their positions with their swords in hand!
Although the Shu soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, during the retreat, they all complained to the instructor, why should they give up such a good opportunity to kill!
In fact, most grassroots instructors don't understand why, but among so many people, there are always smart people.
An instructor ran back and shouted: "Didn't you see the hot air balloon coming? If we get involved with the party members, how can the brothers of the Tielin Army drop bombs?"
When he said this, the other Shu soldiers suddenly realized.
Yes, the fastest way to kill the enemy at this time is not to chase down the deserters, but to drop grenades from the sky on a hot air balloon.
If they go after the party members, there will be contact between the two sides. If the Tielin Army throws grenades down, won't they be killed together?
Military law does not allow the Tielin Army to do this.
The best way now is for them to retreat to the mountainside, and then just hold on to the path at the foot of the mountain.
When they retreated to the mountain road, they found that Chen Fengzhi had also withdrawn with the Shu army from the south.
If Da Zhuang and the others wanted to retreat before the arrival of the hot air balloon, the enemy would definitely pursue them frantically. But at this time, no matter whether it was in the south or the north, there was not even a single pursuing enemy.
The King of Qin's army ran faster than the party members!
The Shu army retreated very calmly, but not at all slow.
Zhang Liang had already returned to the open space on the mountainside. Watching the last group of Shu soldiers retreat and block the mountain road with heavy crossbows and catapults, Zhang Liang sat down as if all his strength had been drained from his body in an instant.
Return to the stone next to it.
The Tielin Army's bombing was too intensive, and due to the terrain, at least half of the Southern Expedition Army and the King of Qin's Army were killed after this bombing.
Even if Chen Anjie and Li Lingrui gather up the remaining defeated soldiers, it will be difficult to restart the offensive for the time being!
In fact, there are so many hot air balloons here, even if they come here again, they are here to die!
Zhang Liang knows that the overall situation has been decided!
At this time, a hot air balloon slowly landed in the valley, and Qinghuai jumped out of the basket with Zhong Wu.
"Celebrating!"
"General!"
The Shu soldiers guarding the mountain road quickly made way for a passage. Many soldiers who had served in the Tielin Army even greeted Qinghuai excitedly!
"You are all good, there is no one who disdains the Tielin Army!"
Qinghuai nodded and strode up the mountain road.
But Zhong Wu behind him was stopped.
Of course, it was not a malicious obstruction, but many veterans of the Tielin Army did not dare to make trouble with Qinghuai, so they could only vent their excitement on Zhong Wu.
"Zhong Wu, why aren't you dead yet?"
"Zhong Wu, why the hell didn't you come here earlier? What were you talking about on the road? Do you know how many brothers we have died!"
"Zhong Wu..."
Zhong Wu was pushed and kicked by the veterans. Many veterans' eyes turned red.
This battle was too difficult for them.
Too many former comrades died here!
Qinghuai ignored Zhong Wu and walked straight to the open space on the mountainside.
"Brother Qinghuai, why did you get on the hot air balloon?"
Qing Mulan was the first to greet him, with a somewhat reproachful tone.
You must know that Li Lingrui had an eagle before him. If the eagle attacked the hot air balloon where Qinghuai was, Qinghuai would have to parachute to escape. www.八一zw.????m
Although the accident rate of parachutes is very low, it is still dangerous.
"There are no cowards in the Tielin Army who are afraid of death, so how can I retreat?"
Qinghuai said with a smile.
This is also the reason why Qinghuai is highly respected by Tielin's soldiers.
Regardless of whether the battle is big or small, Qinghuai will go to the front line in person whenever the war situation requires it.
Otherwise, he would not have been plotted by the Dangxiang people and had to hand over the Tielin Army to Jin Feng.
