Outside Anliqi, the dwarf soldiers who were preparing to attack suddenly discovered that there seemed to be more Tang Army troops in front of them.
Unlike the Tang army who ran away after just two shots a few days ago, they seemed not to intend to give up Anliqi, but were preparing to have a serious fight with them outside Anliqi.
The dwarf commanders, who had been emboldened by the consecutive victories, felt that they might not be afraid of the opponent even if they fought a battle, so they immediately mobilized their troops and deployed their troops, preparing to kill the stragglers of the Tang army outside Anliqi first, and then charge forward.
Enter Anli and plunder them.
The calculation was very good, but the actual situation was not as smooth as they thought. Just after they deployed their troops and started to attack, a fact was finally proved: those in front of them were not the Tang Army's reconnaissance troops, and their number was even greater.
Too scary.
On the Tang Army's position, a regiment commander grabbed the radio and loudly confirmed the situation of the battle: "Yes! Immediately cover the coordinates we provided with firepower! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Send them to hell!"
Along with his shouts, rockets flew over his head one after another. The huge noise made his shouts unclear, and the air was filled with the pungent smell left after burning.
.
Immediately afterwards, these rockets shattered as they flew over the dwarf troops. The thin shells were blown away by the airflow, and the warheads inside were arranged neatly like grapes and scattered like stars.
These warheads fell down like raindrops, as densely packed as yesterday's snowflakes. A few seconds later, the Tang army commanders who stood on the starting position watching this feast felt the earth shake.
The mountains in the distance were almost instantly covered by the smoke raised by the explosion, everything as far as the eye could see was filled with flames, and the entire battlefield was engulfed by the explosion.
After a while, a deafening sound floated over. Facing the noise, the Tang Empire's chariots began to roll forward, followed closely by thousands of soldiers.
"Long live the Emperor! Attack!" Raising his arms high and slashing forward, a company commander of the Tang Army loudly encouraged his soldiers. Smelling the exhaust fumes left by the chariot, his soldiers stepped forward on the soft snow.
The pace of progress.
The Intruder attack plane flew over the road full of craters, and two guided bombs followed and landed at the intersection, turning it into a huge crater.
The burning remains of a car parked at the intersection were missing, presumably having been completely dismembered by the bomb.
The dwarf soldiers who were still rushing and attacking yesterday finally recovered their lost memories. They finally remembered how terrible their opponents were, and finally realized how stupid they had done.
Along the way, they put themselves in the opponent's face, or even fed them into the opponent's mouth... But after knowing everything, they also understood that it was already too late.
Bombers destroyed communication lines, anti-radiation missiles took out active communication stations, and armed helicopters turned all the remaining tanks of the Eastern Front into burning scrap metal. The entire battlefield instantly turned into a hell on earth.
The 9th Army of the Ice Empire, which was at the forefront, faced at this moment the Tang Empire Air Force, which had rested for nearly ten days, and the 3rd Army, the top three elite troops.
These troops no longer had the problem of insufficient ammunition, nor were they burdened by long supply lines. They even waited for them for a day and a half near Anliqi...
The Tang army's counterattack was fatal from the beginning. The dwarf's 9th Army was overwhelmed before they even had time to surrender. They could only keep running back, and they died on the side of the road in the wilderness.
As in the past, the communication had been completely paralyzed so that Xie Ke had no idea what was going on. His troops did not even have time to send back feedback, and they were killed together with the cavalry responsible for communication.
Countless soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, and hundreds of prisoners of war squatted in the fields, waiting for the Tang army to escort them back to the prisoner-of-war camp: weapons were beside them, but no one dared to touch them.
No one even took care of these prisoners of war, because the Tang army felt that they were not worth wasting time.
All the troops were moving forward, but the plan soon changed. Because the commanders of the attacking Tang Army found that it seemed a little difficult for them to encircle and annihilate the Eastern Front of the Ice Empire.
The opponent surrendered so quickly that the pocket formation that was originally intended to be fought turned into a three-pronged formation with upper, middle and lower forces advancing side by side... The 3rd Army was pushing flat, not the planned pincer offensive.
To everyone's embarrassment, the troops in the center fought so fast that they were almost approaching Darkas in one morning.
Behind them now, there are almost more than 200,000 dwarf prisoners of war... Even they themselves can't believe that they themselves "captured" the entire Eastern Front Army of the Ice Empire.
Initially they didn't take these prisoners of war seriously, but as they walked they realized that there seemed to be too many dwarves left behind.
As a result, a rare scene in the history of military wars appeared: because they rushed too fast, the Tang army had to arrange for personnel to go back to find those dwarf prisoners who had no one to care about, and organized them to build a prisoner of war camp to hold them on the spot.
There was no way, it happened too suddenly. According to Strauss's plan, a large number of prisoner-of-war camps would not be needed until a few days later, so there was no task of repairing prisoner-of-war camps at all.
What makes people laugh or cry is that when the Tang army returned to look for the prisoners of war, almost one-fifth of the prisoners of war had been frozen to death. They had no supplies to begin with, and they were frightened out of their wits. They waited there without eating.
Drinking all morning and the temperature being so low... it would be a miserable life.
What's even more ridiculous is that these dwarf soldiers, who treated their own civilians like wolves and tigers, didn't even have the courage to escape when faced with the Tang army. They just waited in place, and few dared to leave.
Until this time, Xieko did not know that his army had collapsed. He also tried to prepare and hold on in Dalkas for a while, which would at least allow the Eastern Front to establish a decent defense line along the Pot River.
But what he never expected was that Tang Jun was actually not too far away from him at this time, and every time he went to a village, the local dwarf civilians even lined the streets to welcome these newly departed humans, with warm looks and cold faces.
The soldiers of the Empire are completely different from each other.
For them, this is probably their second liberation...
