Chapter 31 The Pioneer Army Was Defeated!
As Cheng Pu expected, these seemingly fierce soldiers were actually at the end of their strength.
Under Cheng Pu's command, the Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty, who had already been eager to try, threw rolling logs and rocks from the top of the mountain with their greatest strength.
The overwhelming rolling logs and rocks poured down like a meteor shower.
The endless rolling logs and rocks roared as if carrying the call of hell, and the breath of death like purgatory spread in the hearts of the pioneer soldiers of the Qingshan Dynasty.
It's getting closer, it's getting closer, and the footsteps of death are getting closer and closer. The soldiers of the Qingshan Dynasty's vanguard army seem to have fallen into a sluggish state at this moment, motionless.
Boom, boom, the huge impact sounds like the sound of evening drums from under the Nine Netherworld, splashing pieces of flesh and blood into the air.
But the countless rolling logs and rocks still had no intention of stopping at all. They were like dead soldiers on a mission, continuing to pursue them with an aura of immortality.
"what!"
There were screams one after another, and the heart-piercing sound was deafening.
"Withdraw, the army quickly withdraw!"
The casualties of the vanguard army far exceeded Zhang Shanchao's expectations, and the entire army was inevitably wiped out, so Zhang Shanchao had to order a retreat.
However, it was too late to retreat by this time, and the terrible battle damage might already be able to crush Zhang Shanchao.
From the halfway up the hill to the foot of the hill, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, pieces of meat lay across, and blood was spilled all over every corner for free.
The pungent smell of blood filled the air everywhere, even veterans could not bear it.
This is a completely unequal battle. One side is the blood guards of the Tang Dynasty who are recharging their energy and occupying the right time, place and people;
Facing the densely packed rolling logs and rocks that ruthlessly crushed everything, they had nowhere to hide, let alone resist, and could only walk towards death unwillingly.
You know, relying on the powerful combat power of the blood guards of the Tang Dynasty and the advantages of the terrain, the 200,000 Qingshan Dynasty vanguard soldiers were very reluctant to attack the mountain, and now they are even more forceful.
The eyes of the general who failed to dissuade Zhang Shanchao before were flushed, he was crying silently, his heart was bleeding, and his heart was full of hatred!
One general was incompetent and exhausted thousands of troops, Zhang Shanchao had an impulse and killed him tens of thousands of robes in just half a day.
Yes, under Zhang Shanchao's frenzied urging, almost the entire vanguard army embarked on the road to attack the mountain.
Most of the surviving vanguard army couldn't bear the terrifying nightmare scene in their hearts, their minds collapsed, and it was difficult to fight.
According to the statistics, there are less than 20,000 soldiers who can fight again, more than 60,000 soldiers who lost their minds and fell into madness, and the number of dead is even more terrifying than 120,000.
"what!"
Looking at the battle damage counted by his subordinates, Zhang Shanchao looked up to the sky and screamed.
His heart was trembling. Such a huge loss was caused by his willful actions. It is conceivable how the commander-in-chief Shan Qingcang, who has always been like a mountain, will deal with him.
What's more, Shan Qingcang made this big mistake when he was already furious. Zhang Shanchao could imagine that death would become a luxury for him!
…
"Haha, General Cheng, our army has wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops without wounding a single soldier. This battle is really exciting!"
Cheng Pu's generals were so excited that they screamed in the big tent.
"You, you, how many times have I told you that the winner is not proud and the loser is not discouraged. Why can't you listen?"
Cheng Pu pointed at the excited general, with a look of hatred on his face.
This general is called Cheng Tie, and it was selected by Cheng Pu from among the Eight Thousand Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty. He has a good talent and a personality that suits Cheng Pu's taste, but he is a bit frizzy, and Cheng Pu is not afraid of it. Said him.
"Hey hey!"
Cheng Tie is not easy to defend,
I had to smirk endlessly.
"Okay, don't be silly, go and tell General Han Dang, let him speed 20,000 Zhao cavalry to attack the enemy's vanguard camp overnight, and he will surely gain something."
"promise!"
When it was time to get down to business, Cheng Tie was absolutely unambiguous, and immediately rushed out to deliver the letter in response.
Cheng Pu predicted that tonight a bunch of remnants of the enemy's defeated generals must be silently hiding in one place to lick their wounds, and it is impossible to guard against night attacks.
The reason why Han Dang was decided to go is because he shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the ancient Cang Mountain, fearing that he would lose, so he dared not move lightly;
Two, Han is in command of Da Zhao Tieqi, who moves quickly, and if there is an accident, he can evacuate safely; three, he has made great achievements today, so he can't just eat and eat alone, forget the old man, right?
…
"Hey, at last this old man Cheng Pu hasn't forgotten XX, Cheng Tie, you go back and give me a message. When this battle is over, I'll go find that old man and have a drink."
After hearing Cheng Tie's message, Han Dang was extremely happy.
"promise."
"Order the army to assemble, I will crush the enemy army tonight!"
"promise!"
Not long after, the 20,000-strong Zhao Tieqi was ready to go.
The sound of the iron hoofs of the 20,000-strong army was extremely harsh in this silent night, and even a slightly alert army would have noticed something was wrong.
Speaking of the sound of the iron hoof, Han Dang also had a headache. The method of binding the horse's hoof in the previous life is useless above Hua Tianyu.
Because war horses are all cultivated, and their strength is much greater than that of the previous life. No matter what kind of force is used to wrap the horse's hoof, it will be shattered in a blink of an eye.
Besides, once there are tens of thousands of iron cavalry, the ground vibration caused by marching, I am afraid that even the horseshoes wrapped in cloth cannot cover it?
Therefore, Han Dang simply didn't bother to hide the sound of the horse's hooves. Anyway, considering the current opponent, even if he heard the sound of the horse's hooves, he wouldn't care too much.
After all, there are dozens of countries around here, big and small, and I have never heard of any country with iron cavalry. Under the preconceived notion, no commander will be too defensive against it.
And when Da Zhao Tieqi was in front of the enemy, even if the enemy wanted to take precautions, it would be too late.
Da Zhao Tieqi rode fast all the way, and soon he was outside the enemy's vanguard camp.
I saw that the vanguard camp was extremely simple, and it was obviously set up hastily, without even the most basic defense.
There was even more grunting in the camp. Obviously, the enemy soldiers had relaxed their minds to the extreme, and even the heavy sound of horseshoes did not wake up the enemy.
"Kill me, leave no one behind!"
What are you doing? War is not a child's play, and Han Dang doesn't care about the benevolence of women.
As the horse stepped into the camp, flames were everywhere, and countless enemy soldiers were hacked to death in their sleep.
"what happened?"
Awakened by the smell of blood, Zhang Shanchao rushed out of the camp, picked up a soldier fleeing frantically beside him and asked.
"The enemy cavalry has attacked the camp!"
The soldier explained with a crying voice.
"what?"
Leaving the soldier aside, Zhang Shanchao raised his long knife and killed the general.
"You are Zhang Shanchao?"
Looking at the enemy general standing in front of him, his eyes were about to bleed, Han Dang asked.
"Stop talking nonsense and die!"
Zhang Shanchao was already on the verge of collapse, so he didn't have the heart to talk to Han Dang.
