Chapter 612: The Battle of Qinglong Mountain (2)

"Ahh

After a while, the Zan army ebbed like the tide, and ran back. As soon as the handsome flag fell, there was no longer the heart to fight. Once the morale of the army is lost, no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

I don't know who was killed or injured here, but I just watched the retreat of the Zan army, which shows that the status of the deceased is not low.

Yun Zhan, Miao Wen, Bao Li and others were not very familiar with the generals of the Zan army, and although they were expected to have a telescope, they could not really see it under the smoke a few kilometers away.

In any case, the attack of the Zan army was repulsed again anyway.

Miao asked Daxi, "Okay, good wow." Bao team is positive, you have made a great contribution. The court is ready to be knighted according to military merits, haha, this time, you will definitely not be able to run away as a baron. ”

Bao Li was even more overjoyed, he was born in poverty, although because of Yunfeng's care, all the original residents of Long Danjin have become small rich people, but they are still commoners. If you can get a noble title, the Bao family will be worth twice in an instant. Bao Li is not stupid, knowing that everyone carries the sedan chair, he said humbly: "It happened, it happened." And this is everyone's work, not mine. ”

Not long after the Zan army retreated, it launched a second wave of attacks on Nankou. I don't know if it was in retaliation for the shelling just now, or how much benefit the generals of the Zan army promised, but this time there were too many people pouring up, all over the mountains, swarming towards the south entrance under the rain of bullets and bullets, in order to take the south entrance in one fell swoop. The battle line was also long, and many of the troops climbed the city wall from a distance, squeezing from both ends to the middle. Some people even hoisted ropes into the city, came from the inside, or rushed to the elevated intersection.

The positions of the Celestial Dragon Army were repeatedly compressed.

The enemy held an iron shield, and the lethality of the bullets was greatly reduced. In addition, there were too many enemies, and one by one they seemed to have been enchanted, and they did not hesitate to kill at all, and they were invincible, and finally approached the Nankou City Gate.

In addition to the spirit warrior can maintain the speed of fire with the intention of activation, for the archer under the spirit man, the gun is not as good as the sword for hand-to-hand melee combat. The first to approach the Tianlong Army were all martial arts masters, and face to face, there was no chance to shoot.

Yun Zhan had to draw the warriors and spirit warriors with higher skills to collect their guns and draw their swords and fight directly, while the ordinary warriors fought and retreated under the protection of Yun Zhan and others, and continued to shoot to cause as much damage to the enemy as possible.

Because of the melee being entangled, the Tianlong Army has begun to suffer casualties, and it looks like it is about to be dumpled.

The artillery was called down the moment the enemy climbed the walls and pushed onto the elevated road. The soldiers stationed at the intersection of the high price road shouted: "Miao Dudu, you can't hold it." Most of the people had their guns so hot that they didn't dare to shoot, otherwise they would blow them up. There are too many enemies, dozens of times more than us, let the signal soldiers call for help. Otherwise, with the hundreds of us, it is estimated that we will all have to fill in and bury under this Nankou City. ”

Miao Wen smiled bitterly: "Aid, how can there be reinforcements?" Our main army went to Wuzhou, and the newly recruited soldiers were sent to Ningjiang before they were trained.

If you can't hold it, you have to defend it, even if it's the last man. Otherwise, the enemy will drive straight in, and Long Danjin will be in danger. It was full of unarmed people, our academy. Our children are all in college.

But we don't have to bury it under Nankou Castle, even if we want to die, let's go to the elevated road. There is hope for holding the elevated road. ”

At this time, Yun Zhan decisively ordered the city wall to be abandoned and all of them retreated to the elevated intersection. As long as the elevated road is guarded, even if Nankou Town falls, the problem is not too big.

The Celestial Dragon Army quickly withdrew from the city wall of the south entrance and formed a large circle facing outward, with earth-level martial artists in the inner circle and spiritual warriors and high-level martial artists in the outer circle, resisting swords and arrows from all directions, and not using spiritual weapons and firearms to shoot at the opponent's martial arts masters. Calmly retreat step by step along the straight avenue towards the elevated intersection. It can be seen that the Celestial Dragon Army is well-trained, and if it flees in a swarm and leaves its back to the enemy, it will inevitably suffer countless casualties.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There was already a team of dozens of people at the elevated intersection, and they had been fighting against the small number of enemy troops who had come around, and they were desperately defending the entrance.

There are more and more enemies, and they use crowd tactics to desperately storm the teams of cloud warfare regardless of casualties. They knew that if the bullet did not hit the vital part, it would not be immediately fatal, and the number of people far exceeded that of the Celestial Dragon Army, and it had a shield, and it was already close, so it was very possible to completely annihilate this Dragon Army.

When they were still nearly a kilometer away from their own position at the intersection, Yun Zhan's team was completely surrounded by the enemy's crowd, and it was difficult to advance an inch again. Not surprisingly, the remaining less than 500 men will soon be completely overwhelmed by the crowd of enemy troops.

At the last moment, the rapid sound of whistles and the collision of wheels and rails was heard again on the elevated road. Another steam locomotive came galloping, and the second artillery team supporting the place arrived, led by Zhao Zhuang, another of Yunfeng's hair.

From afar, condescendingly, Zhao Zhuang found that it was too late, the enemy and us were mixed together, and the cannon had lost its effectiveness.

Zhao Zhuang thought for a moment and ordered the convoy to slow down and brake. Command the soldiers to push the cannon directly off the flatbed, and then order the locomotive to start again.

When they came closer, except for Zhao Zhuang, everyone jumped out of the car, shot with their guns, and at the same time vigorously called their comrades who were defending the intersection to get out of the way.

Instead of entering the station, the rail car boosts its speed to its maximum speed, derails off the track, and sprints down the slope and downward. The huge locomotive, with a string of flatbed cars, like a collapsed mountain, poured towards the Qianjun army.

Zhao Zhuang and the locomotive driver jumped up at the last moment and threw themselves on the sacks of the temporary fortifications built by their comrades.

The army was in chaos and avoided in a panic.

The 60 artillerymen brought by Zhao Zhuang had not yet fired their own guns, and there was no problem of overheating the barrels. Zhao Zhuang boldly jumped up from the bunker, led people to follow the carriage, and launched a counter-charge, first throwing out a large number of grenades, and then shooting vigorously with his gun. Suddenly, the dense Zan army was swept away.

Seeing the opportunity of cloud warfare, he immediately ordered to speed up the retreat, and when the army was in a panic, he desperately rushed out of the encirclement and moved closer to the intersection. Under the timely attack of the comrades-in-arms who rushed out of the fortifications at the intersection, the large army was finally brought into the intersection.

There is still flat ground next to the intersection because of the station.

Yun Zhan ordered to retreat step by step along the elevated road, retreat to the overhang of the road, and the defense would be easy. That is, you only need to face an attack on one side, and you will not be attacked on all sides.

Zhao Zhuang, who had made a great contribution, ran back quickly, and together with Bao Li, commanded the artillery wrestlers, desperately pushing the cannon back along the elevated road. People can die, but cannons can't be lost. Once they are snatched by the Zhan army, it will be bad to attack them with artillery in turn. More importantly, the refining method of the cannon will inevitably be leaked, and the weapon advantage of the Celestial Dragon Army will no longer exist.

In order to ensure that all the cannons were pushed away, even if Yun Zhan was exhausted, he still took the lead, leading people to resist the crazy attack of the Zan army, fighting and retreating. The Zan Army couldn't help but go crazy, because this was their best chance to obtain the Celestial Dragon Army artifact.

Zan Cheng promised that those who died in this battle would be rewarded with 100,000 gold, and their children and grandchildren would be exempted from paying taxes. Whoever kills a soldier of the Tianlong Army will be named a viscount, and whoever kills a general of the cloud battle level or captured a 'immortal weapon' firearm of the Tianlong Army will be named an earl. Those who seize the giant 'immortal weapon' (cannon) will be rewarded with an additional million gold and given a dragon-level exercise or spiritual weapon.

One side attacked frantically, the other side desperately resisted, and the line of engagement became a meat grinder, and the soldiers on both sides suffered a large number of casualties, one after another fell in a pool of blood.

The Zan army had an absolute advantage in numbers, and the Tianlong army was defeated and retreated. Fortunately, as the elevated road surface rises higher and higher off the ground, the defense slowly becomes easier. After the hundreds of guns in the back cooled, they could shoot at the rear of the Zan army from the side and suppress the number of people who pounced on the Zan army. The frenzied offensive of the Zan army finally slowed down.

Although the Zan army has a shield, the force of the bullet impact is not small, as long as it does not happen to shoot the whole thing

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The central force point of the shield, the shield is basically uncontrollable, at least to one side. At this point, the bullets from behind can shoot directly at the enemy holding the shield. There were grenades that exploded in the crowd from time to time, which was not a wide elevated road for the brigade, and the Zan army had no numerical advantage at all.

Taking this opportunity, Yun Zhan led people to quickly bow down and accelerate backwards, widening the distance between the two sides. As soon as the distance is widened, teammates don't have to worry about accidentally injuring them, and they can shoot head-on with confidence.

Zhao Zhuang and Bao Li, as if they were running away, regardless of Yun Zhan and them, pushed the sports car and ran hard. Yun Zhan Miao asked a little inexplicable, it is said that the friends of the Tianlong Army are impossible to ignore their comrades. But the artillery is not under their jurisdiction, they call themselves the system, and they have no choice but to continue to hold on on to themselves, and every step back requires the Zan army to exchange the lives of dozens of people.

But after all, the fighting strength was exhausted for a long time, and the guns were not durable, and after firing for a while, they were too hot to fire, so after all, they could not drive the Zhan army out of the elevated road, but were forced to continue to retreat. Of course, the price paid by the Zan army for this was dozens of times the casualties of the Tianlong army.

However, Zan Cheng still felt that it was worth it, even if he lost most of the 300,000 troops he led this time, as long as he took Long Danjin, it would be a great achievement. The most brutal struggle of the royal family is the seizure of the heir. Originally, the third prince Zan Yu was the undisputed candidate for the crown prince, but because he accidentally killed Yun Bing and brought great trouble to the Jiangyin Empire, and even called it a disaster, his voice suddenly became much smaller. Such a good opportunity, of course, Zan Cheng must seize it.

Zan Cheng was furious at the slow progress, and once again ordered to attack with all his strength regardless of casualties, even if it was to use a pile of people, it was also necessary to hit Long Danjin. Otherwise, all generals and their men will be punished.

On the elevated road, the Zan army advanced densely, and more and more people and horses crowded on the road.

The death order given by Zan Zheng had a noticeable effect, and the speed of the advance was significantly accelerated. Two hours later, the whole group advanced more than 20 miles towards the mountain.

At this time, the elevated road volleys across a long river valley. In other words, the elevated roads that are seven or eight miles away are all suspended high in the air, and there are no mountains on either side.

Some of the soldiers under his command suddenly stiffened the size of Yun Zhanmiao, who was fighting to the death, asked, the artillery behind him did not leave, and sent them flags.

Yun Zhan looked back, and it was a signal to prompt them to evacuate quickly. Although they are not subordinate to each other, it is impossible for Bao Li and Zhao Zhuang to trap them, and there must be a strategy to break the enemy. Yun Zhan Miao glanced at each other and decided to believe it once. So immediately ordered, "Run." ”

After running a few steps, I found that a large amount of dry firewood was piled up on the elevated road, and a large amount of flammable materials such as tung oil were sprinkled. Yun Zhan immediately understood that this was for them to ignite and block the enemy.

After all his soldiers ran through the dry firewood section, Yun Zhan shot a few shots at the dry firewood sprinkled with tung oil. Boom, the flames were raging, and the two sides were immediately blocked. At the same time as the fire started, smoke billowed out, and even the view of each other was cut off.

Yun Zhan ran to the part of the elevated road built on the mountain, and immediately found Zhao Zhuang to inquire what was going on. Just by piling up firewood on the road and setting fires, it won't take long to stop it. The elevated road here is indeed suspended, more than ten zhang high from the bottom of the valley, it is not easy to get water to extinguish the fire, but the dry firewood will be burned out quickly.

Zhao Zhuang took out a bag and handed it to Yun Zhan, "General Yun, please see, this is a secret order from the military department." ”

Yun Zhan opened it and looked at it, and his heart was happy, but he also had worries.

Seeing that Yun Zhan did not resist, but led people to flee quickly, the Zan army behind them thought that the dragon army had collapsed, and they were overjoyed one by one, and rushed forward desperately. The sudden fire blocked the way of the front army, but the army behind continued to move forward, squeezing this elevated road seven or eight miles long and twenty meters wide. The soldiers had difficulty even turning around, and the Zan army piled up nearly 100,000 men in this section.

Yun Zhan stared at the faint figure on the side of the flames, but the upcoming victory did not excite him, but he couldn't bear it. Of course, the object of intolerance is naturally not Zan Jun.
