Another huge explosion sounded, and the sound was huge, as if the explosion was happening right next to them, and it suddenly blew up Captain Xia Yan Zhan almost fell to his stomach in fright.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, which was so dark that people were panicking, he was suddenly attacked by the Xinghua Army, and before Yan Zhan could figure out what was going on, the explosions shook him one after another.

Just like this sound just now, it turned out to be an explosion not far from the school captain's mansion!

Although Yan Zhan was surprised, he was a captain who had experienced several battles after all, and he had a certain sensitivity to the battlefield, and he knew that such an unexpected situation would not allow him to continue to waste time guessing and hesitating.

Therefore, Yan Zhan immediately forced himself to calm down, and then took advantage of the heavy night to find shelter to cover himself, while slowly groping out of the captain's mansion, wanting to check in person.

Next, the mess in front of him made Yan Zhan, who was originally mentally prepared, suddenly a little suspicious.

As far as the eye can see, it has been blown to the ground, and even though it is late at night, because there are many fires ignited by the explosion around, under the faint illumination of these fires, it is not difficult to fight a lot of craters on the ground.

The situation is very urgent!

Yan Zhan first ran back to the captain's mansion quickly, then hurriedly gathered a few personal soldiers, brought torches, and ran out of the captain's mansion with him again, gathered some soldiers along the way, and strode towards the gate of the checkpoint, preparing to strengthen the defense.

At this moment, what Yan Zhan is most worried about in his heart is also very likely to happen next, the enemy may attack the city at any time!

However, when Yan Zhan and the others arrived at the city gate, Yan Zhan saw that the city gate was still closed, and at the same time, the explosion continued to be heard in the defense area on the city wall, but there were no soldiers still standing.

With the brightness of the torches, Yan Zhan finally knew.

Why is it that no soldier is standing anymore - not that they have deserted their positions and fled from the battle, but that they have all been blown to pieces!

When the tragic scene of flesh and blood scattered on the city wall, even if Yan Zhan was a dull person, would not fail to understand that the Yunzhou checkpoint had also been fiercely attacked by the Xinghua army.

And.

The Shenwu cannons and heavy crossbows on the city wall are probably also extremely badly damaged.

At this point, about three minutes have passed.

When Yan Zhan was panicking, the sound of explosions outside seemed to stop suddenly, that is, Yan Zhan held his breath and waited for a while, but he didn't hear any more movement.

It's a pity that the explosions are close to the city gate, and in the distance in the middle of the night, it is pitch black, and only a faint figure can be seen.

But it is not possible to move lightly.

Could it be that the enemy stopped mortar attacks?

Yan Zhan thought that after the enemy launched such a powerful round of bombardment, at this time, it should be time to recuperate, so it was the best time for their defenders to seize the best time to return to defense.

So, Yan Zhan immediately ordered his own soldiers.

Quickly gather the remnants of the army and reoccupy the walls so that the enemy does not attack them: "The archers immediately went up to set up their defenses, and defended them tightly, ready to respond to the enemy's surprise attack. ”

However, tonight is destined to be a night of blood and despair.

Just as these Xia soldiers were called back by Yan Zhan to fight again.

When he was ordered to quickly climb the city wall and want to set up a defensive formation again, a scene that made everyone even more frightened and angry happened in an instant!

A few soldiers had just stuck their heads out of the battlements of the city wall, trying to check the scene, but unexpectedly, this ordinary action turned out to be a life-saving talisman that killed them - the next second.

Yan Zhan didn't know what was hitting the head of these soldiers, and all of them were shot out of a stream of bright red plasma, and then, only these soldiers, at such an instant, fell to the ground and lost their lives.

The most terrifying thing is that they were almost all hit at the same time, and unlike the explosion just now, this qiē seemed to happen in a silent world, if it weren't for the dull sound that could be heard when their heads were hit, Yan Zhan would hardly have known that these soldiers were hit by something and died.

Another surprise attack!

This series of raids put Yan Zhan in an unprecedentedly highly depressed mental state, at this moment, he was extremely nervous, he even subconsciously squatted down, not daring to take his head and make himself repeat the mistakes of these dead soldiers in front of him, becoming the next target.

In Yan Zhan's heart, at this time, he was already cursing the despicability of the Xinghua Army again and again, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, he actually launched a surprise attack, and at the same time, he was extremely eager for this raid to be charged or stopped, so that he could have a moment to sort out the chaotic thoughts and scenes in front of him.

It's just that the war is like this, and once it breaks out, there is no possibility of stopping halfway.

In addition to Yan Zhan, the rest of the Xia soldiers on the scene, on the one hand, lost their lives inexplicably in an instant, it can not be said that they are not frightened, even if they have followed Yan Zhan to fight a lot of battles, in this deep dark night, and they are in a situation of confusion and unknown disparity between the enemy and the enemy around them, they are already very nervous, and on the other side, even the captain of Yan Zhan has already squatted down with his head in his hands to dodge the attack, and they dare not show their heads.

Yan Zhan's confused mind, and even began to regret a little, he didn't come forward to meet the ambassador of Xinghua who had already come to the city, and negotiate peace with the other party, but at the same time, he was also a little suspicious in his heart, his soldiers were hit by the enemy, and all of them were shot in the head and died on the spot, according to this possibility, could it be that the enemy used the crystal energy gun?

If the enemy uses the Crystal Energy Gun, then the problem is even more serious, there is no doubt that there are alchemists in the enemy's army!

This sudden realization only made Yan Zhan more anxious and anxious, at this moment, he really needed to know what the enemy's troops were and their weapons were like!

Maybe he was anxious to know the answer, but at this moment, Yan Zhan's thinking suddenly had a direction!

"Throw two torches down and check the gates. ”

Yan Zhan ordered to the soldiers who were hiding aside, because he suddenly thought of a more urgent problem - if the enemy was using a crystal gun, then the enemy's place should be some distance from them, plus the enemy's continuous projection of explosives just now, blowing up directly to the city gate, this before and after, the intuition immediately told sù Yan Zhan, the enemy is likely to attack the city!

And.

At this time, the enemy used crystal guns to target them, the people on the city gates, most likely to cover their people to attack the city!

Therefore, Yan Zhan subconsciously thought that the city gate was probably already approaching by the enemy army at this time!

Hearing this, Yan Zhan's two personal soldiers quickly grabbed the two torches beside him, but Yan Zhan immediately grabbed one of them.

added: "Tell a few more people next to you to go down a little faster." ”

I have to say.

Yan Zhan still has a wealth of battlefield experience, and his addition is very crucial.

At the same time as the two torches were dropped, it was inevitable that the twelve Xia soldiers would rise up and sacrifice together, but Yan Zhan used an extremely cruel but helpless method to win them more opportunities - twelve Xia soldiers appeared at the same time, although nine of them could not escape the targeting and killing of the Xinghua Army blocker hidden not far away, but finally fought for an extremely important few seconds, at least three soldiers still escaped.

Fortunately, these three soldiers were also fortunate to be killed, and they were finally in the most critical situation at this time.

"There's someone in the gates!"

After the three soldiers quickly retracted their heads, one of them suddenly shouted nervously.

Really!

Yan Zhan didn't know whether to be annoyed or happy, he really guessed!

Yan Zhan was shocked, and immediately shouted to the soldiers in the pass: "It's a disaster! Seal the city gate immediately!"

But.

Yan Zhan shouted late.

The bombers of the Xinghua People's Army have already pasted a large number of time bombs on the city gates.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Xia Army, carrying sandbags, rushed to the city gate, wanting to completely block the city gate.

There was a loud bang.

The gates were blown away by a violent blast wave.

Shattered city gates, become sharp weapons.

Stabbed the nearest Xia soldier.

After a while, the Xia soldiers inside the city gate, more than a dozen people, fell to the ground, wailing.

"Attack!"

The moment Qin Zhengguo saw that the city gate was blown open, he immediately launched a general attack on the whole army, and the charge horn sounded.

According to the plan.

The mortar squad immediately shelled the checkpoint and attacked the Xia army, so that they could not organize a strong defense.

"Kill!"

More than 1,000 Xinghua Baomin Army soldiers armed with submachine guns rushed to the Yunzhou checkpoint.

The first platoon of Xinghua soldiers rushed to the city gates, they opened the way with grenades, and the submachine guns swept through, destroying the fragile defenses of the Xia army in one fell swoop.

Captain Xia tried in vain to regroup the soldiers, but after several efforts, it was in vain.

"My lord, retreat immediately! Let's go, it'll be too late if you don't leave!"

A pro-soldier grabbed Yan Zhan and said.

Yan Zhan said sadly: "I can't go, I am a general guarding the pass, the people are locked up, and the people are dead." The two of you, immediately ride horses, report to the county seat along the way, and report to the General's Mansion. ”

Yan Zhan turned around, raised his sword, led the rest of his soldiers and defenders, and rushed towards the Xinghua army, fighting hard to try to redeem the defeat.

When Qin Zhengguo entered the checkpoint, there were dilapidated buildings, and Xia soldiers who fell to the ground could be seen everywhere.

"Report sir, we've managed to capture the level!"

Staff Officer Zhao Chang understood the situation and reported to Qin Zhengguo.

"What are the casualties of our army?"

Qin Zhengguo asked.

"When we entered the city, we were blocked by the enemy. Relying on the familiarity of the terrain, the enemy made several sneak attacks, and 11 of our troops were killed, 46 wounded, and they were being treated. ”

Zhao Chang said.

Qin Zhengguo was silent for a moment and said: "Dead comrades-in-arms, help them sort them out, temporarily store them in the Snow Lotus Pass, and after the war, send their ashes back to China." Wounded soldiers should be treated with all their might. ”

"Yes, I will do as you tell me to do so. ”

Zhao Chang replied.

"Send a message to the headquarters and ask us about our next goal. ”

Qin Zheng National Highway.

"Okay, I'll go and generate electricity immediately. ”

Zhao Chang replied.

Qin Zheng Guochang left, and he continued to take the soldiers and inspect the checkpoints.

In addition to killing and wounding a large number of enemies, it also captured many Xia soldiers, and only a small number of Xia soldiers successfully escaped.

The soldiers of the Xia army who fled, Qin Zhengguo only ordered the Xinghua army to pursue for a certain distance, and did not continue the pursuit.

Half a day later, Qin Zhengguo made a decision, that is, to demolish the checkpoint gate of Yunzhou.

Qin Zhengguo believes that the Yunzhou checkpoint is in the hands of Xinghua for a day, and there is no need to close it for a day.

The city gate was demolished, and in the future, the Xinghua Army faced Yunzhou, the Xia Kingdom, which was no longer in danger.

At the checkpoint of Yunzhou, the soldiers of the Xia army were captured and gathered in a barracks, and Chu Feng, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xinghua Empire, led his entourage and rushed here as soon as possible.

When diplomatic work could not be carried out for the time being, Chu Feng decided to go to the prisoner of war camp to show his eloquence and ability, gather a group of soldiers who belonged to the Xia Kingdom, and form an anti-Xia Free Army.

In addition, representatives of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce also followed Chu Feng and arrived at the prisoner of war camp.

In this prisoner of war camp, more than 1,000 Xia soldiers were captured.

"I am an official of the Xinghua Empire, named Chu Feng...... Now you have a few paths to choose from. The first way, if you have money, you can ask your family to give money to ransom people. We at Xinghua Army believe that human life is precious. So, an ordinary soldier costs at least twenty gold coins, and the officer calculates otherwise. If you think you can go this way, go to the front room and register. ”

Chu Feng said, he pointed to a house outside the prisoner of war camp.

As soon as Chu Feng's words fell, about 20 officers and soldiers of the Xia Army stood up and walked out of the prisoner of war camp.

Chu Feng and the others left, turned to the other prisoners of war, and continued: "The second way, become a slave of the Xinghua Kingdom, be sent to the mines west of the Xinghua Kingdom, and work for the empire for twenty years as a slave miner. After twenty years, you will be able to attain relative freedom, become a member of the Xinghua Kingdom, marry a wife and have children within the empire. Soldiers who are willing to choose this path can occupy the open space on the left. ”

More than a thousand soldiers looked at each other, and no one walked to the left.

"Very good, the third way, continue to be a soldier and serve the Xinghua Empire for three years, and after three years, you can obtain the national status of the Xinghua Empire and gain freedom...... There is a final fourth way, which is to fulfill your reputation for loyalty, kill you, and send you back to your hometown for burial. ”

Chu Feng said coldly: "Those who are willing to take the third path stand on the left, and those who are willing to take the fourth path stand on the right. ”

Who wants to face death?

Are there people who are not afraid of death?

According to Chu Feng's thoughts, no one should want to die.

In order to survive, some people even deceive themselves, they give themselves a reason to live.

However, the people standing on Chu Feng's right couldn't help but be surprised.

Do these people really not take their lives seriously?
