Hua Tuwu, Ji Mushu, one Turk, and one Jin Kingdom generals were quietly waiting for the screams of the dragon enemy to be heard from the depths of the canyon as before.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. At this moment, they were full of expectations and did not know that the Fire Ox Formation, which used to be invincible against the dragon enemy based on natural dangers, had been breached.
Instead of charging towards the enemy, the furious cattle turned back towards them and charged back.
The shaking of the earth became more and more intense, and Hua, who was riding on the horse, suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Why are the earthquakes getting stronger and stronger? Are the cattle rushing over?
The Great Khan's Fire Bull Formation was broken?
This idea suddenly appeared in Hua Tuwu's mind. Before he had time to think deeply, the flag in Hua Tuwu's hand quickly waved.
"Spread out quickly, spread out quickly!"
Ji Mushu on the side was not a mediocre person. He noticed the panic in Hua's sudden words and hurriedly ordered his brothers of sword and shield soldiers to evacuate to both sides.
As soon as the soldiers of the coalition retreated out of the way, hundreds of bullocks rolled up smoke and dust in the canyon and rushed towards the mouth of the canyon.
Although Hua Tuwu and his two men sensed something was wrong, they promptly ordered their two armies to evacuate the valley entrance, leaving a path open. However, the cattle rushing out of the narrow valley mouth still instinctively expanded their formation.
As a result, the soldiers on the periphery were inevitably hit by the brute force of the cattle and massacred by the sharp blades on the horns.
A phalanx of 40,000 troops rushed into such a group of crazy killers. Even if they escaped in time, a large number of casualties would inevitably occur.
The Turks, who were familiar with the habits of cattle herds, had already taken a circuitous route on horseback to avoid them.
Once these beasts go crazy, they will not calm down until they are exhausted.
When the Jin Kingdom's cavalry saw the appearance of the Turks, they also began to avoid the crazy cattle herd in the same way.
From the beginning to the end, the most unlucky thing was the small number of infantry of the Jin Kingdom.
The two of them looked at the wailing soldiers who fell to the ground with sad expressions. These scenes should have appeared in Dalong's army formation. Why did the cattle, which had never had any accidents in the past, rush back?
"General Hua Tuwu, I am worried that the enemy army of Dalong will take the opportunity to break out of Sandaowan Canyon. We quickly ordered the soldiers of the front army to block the exit of the canyon."
After listening to Ji Mushu's words, Hua Tuwu didn't care about the reason for the failure of the Fire Bull Formation. He looked at the hundreds of mad bulls that were rushing towards the rear army, trying to break out of the encirclement, and hurriedly waved the command flag in his hand.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order, surrounded the entrance of the valley, established a defensive line, and drove back the enemy dragon."
Because of the orders of the two men, the officers and soldiers of the front army escaped in time, and the casualties were not serious. There was no middle army in the rear, and the rear army was in a panic and could not form a team.
After receiving the order from the two men, they left and surrounded the echelon of the small Sandaowan Canyon, and established defense lines layer by layer.
The horses are densely packed like a dense forest of thorns.
Iron caltrops, horse traps, horse slings, and other defensive equipment were spread out not far from the exit of the canyon, waiting for the dragon's soldiers and horses to rush over.
Hua Tuwu said that even if the Fire Bull Formation is forced, according to the unavoidable and dangerous terrain of Sandaowan Canyon, 40,000 elite troops are defending, which is enough for the dragon soldiers and horses to have a drink here.
As expected by the two of them, before the commotion of the cattle rampaging behind them completely subsided, the familiar voice of the dragon soldiers shouting for death could be heard in the canyon in front of them.
The smoke gradually dispersed, and looking at the big dragon flag that was now visible to the naked eye, Ji Mushu waved the command flag in his hand.
"fire!
Bed crossbow, archer autonomous assistance."
The six artillery pieces were positioned at the mouth of the valley, and under Ji Mushu's order, they bombarded the Dalong soldiers who were charging toward the mouth of the valley.
It is true that the Jin Kingdom did not have explosive shells, but the solid shells bombarded in this terrain were still enough to cause heavy casualties to the forward soldiers.
The strong shields in the hands of the great dragon soldiers could block arrows and weapons, but they were nothing compared to the powerful cannonballs.
Wan Mingliang and Yun Chong, who had experienced several battles on such difficult terrain, did not even discuss it.
Directly ordered the artillery to be transported to the front army, and as before, used artillery with a longer range than the enemy's artillery to knock open the front teeth of the Sandaowan Canyon.
A fierce battle began again in the Sandaowan Canyon leading to Kanzhou City.
Due to the arrival of the second batch of food and fodder, Dalong's troops and horses had enough artillery shells.
Directly opening the way with artillery, they launched an artillery fire sweep against the coalition forces of the two countries guarding outside the canyon.
The Juma Lin that used to be able to defend the enemy for a day or two did not even exert their effectiveness and were shattered to pieces under the bombardment of artillery fire.
In the exchange of artillery fire, the Kingdom of Jin was once again at a disadvantage.
Compared with the explosive shells that exploded one by one, the power of the solid bullets made the gunners of the Jin Dynasty involuntarily shake their heads and sigh.
Fortunately, Dalong's artillery shells were not inexhaustible, so it was a battle between soldiers and soldiers, and between generals and generals, to break out of the heavily defended Sandaowan Canyon.
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the 40,000 troops of the Jintu Alliance were entangled with the more than 100,000 troops under Wan Mingliang. When they were unable to resist, the two led the remaining troops to retreat towards Kanzhou one after another, and met with the garrison in Kanzhou.
The state's Yeruha army joined forces.
Ji Mushu and the others gradually understood that no matter how powerful their plan was, facing the absolute superiority of Dalong's troops and the unrivaled artillery in their hands, no matter how hard they racked their brains,
All that can be done is to delay the progress of the dragon's army heading north.
Trying your best will only increase the losses of their soldiers and horses, and it is just a fantasy to completely stop their progress.
A million-strong army is more than just four words.
It also represents unrivaled strength.
Under the power of artillery, what can the strongest city wall do?
In the end, it was difficult to resist the continuous bombardment of artillery shells, so they could only retreat step by step and defend themselves every step of the way.
But how many ways are there to retreat from the rear? After retreating to the final capital, is there still a way out?
Not only Ji Mu Shu, but also Hua Tuwu and his soldiers.
Now, the soldiers and horses of Jin and Tu, which rely on the three natural dangers of the Jin Kingdom to defend themselves against the enemy, are all shrinking their defense lines under the pressure of the dragon's soldiers and horses, and retreating towards the rear step by step.
As Yunyang said, within the Jin Kingdom, the twelve border cities were destroyed, and only Kanzhou was still struggling to hold on to the three-day dangerous city in the interior.
Once Kanzhou falls again, Anzhou will be the last fortified city.
If Anzhou is gone, the Jin Kingdom's last line of defense, the Jin Kingdom's capital, will also be in danger.
perhaps!
Perhaps, what Yunyang said about being able to pacify the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop years ago was not just empty talk.
In the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, Liu Mingzhi looked at the countless refugees from the Kingdom of Jin pouring in towards the gate of the capital with complicated expressions. He saw too many refugees along the way.
Yunyang lived up to the expectations of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and completely conquered the Jin Kingdom with an unstoppable power, causing it to become unstable.
But what qualifications do I have to judge what is right and wrong?
Last year, the people of the twenty-seven prefectures in northern Xinjiang were just like the people of the Jin Kingdom, displaced and running around.
"Daddy...Daddy!"
Hearing the timid voice, Liu Mingzhi quickly looked around and saw the little cutie, guarded by a group of admiral's spies, looking at himself standing beside the horse in disbelief.
"Yue'er! You...you're here!"
The little cutie hurriedly broke away from the guards and ran to Liu Mingzhi, staring in disbelief at her father who looked at her with complicated eyes, as if he was dreaming.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Dad came to see you. He is relieved to see that you are okay!"
Looking at her father who was slowly squatting in front of her, the little cutie finally confirmed that it was not a dream and that her father was really here.
With a cry of wow, he threw himself into Liu Mingzhi's arms and choked up.
Little Cutie, this clever and quirky little girl, no matter how smart she is, has encountered many shocking changes. When she saw her father, she finally lost her mind and cried loudly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, dad is here for everything, dad is here!"
