Chapter 55 There is no way back
If Qin Zhenqian's guess was not wrong, then the more than 6 million black armor troops they faced were all corpse soldiers plus hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Great Xia.
So this battle, even if Li Ding comes to support with the Qingjia Army, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, the corpse soldiers are too terrifying, they are simply the most terrible war machine in the world, tireless, irrational, as long as the manipulator does not die, then it will never stop.
There is no need to think that there will be any savior, the invincible general in the troubled times will come to the rescue, in the face of more than 600 powerful corpse soldiers plus hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Great Xia, the two sides will start a lineup to fight, as long as the other party's main general is not a fool, then all the armies of Dashang will never be opponents.
The dawn was finally slowly rising, and the time of dawn was approaching.
Outside the south of Falling Star City, a soldier wearing cyan armor and riding a tall dragon horse was speeding towards Falling Star City.
Li Tianxing took 80,000 cavalry of the Qingjia Army and finally arrived in Falling Star City.
On the other side, in the camp of the Black Armor Army.
General Ghostface's injuries have healed, and the injuries of the Holy Flame National Master have barely stabilized after some recuperation.
"How is the situation on the battlefield now for Poison Toad and Arhat?" asked the Ghost-Faced General, sitting in his chair.
Known as poisonous toads, the two of Luohan's two were the two early stage masters of the Transformation God Realm who had teamed up to deal with Chen Wuming, the Great Commander of the Falling Star.
The two were originally the core masters of the Shaolin Temple and the Star Sect, but after being killed by the Ghost Face General, they refined the perfect demon soldiers (corpse soldiers) by means of Tongtian and then injected other souls, becoming the right-hand men of the Ghost Face General.
"Back to the master, the big array is now almost completely completed, and the opponent's strength and morale have gradually declined, and it is a foregone conclusion to break through Falling Star City. The poisonous toad, sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, replied softly.
The ghost-faced general nodded slightly, and looked at the Holy Flame National Master who was healing his injuries with some suspicion and asked, "National Teacher, can you be sure that there are really no other masters in Dashang in Falling Star City this time?"
"Hmph, you don't have to look at me like this, I don't know, and I guess your plan must have been calculated by the stargazing old ghost to a trace, otherwise there would never be so many variables. The Holy Flame National Master replied coldly.
The ghost-faced general smiled lightly and said, "Don't be angry with the national teacher, this emperor doesn't suspect the meaning of the national teacher, he just doesn't want things to change again." ”
From the moment he was dragged back by the Great Commander of the Falling Star in the Falling Star Border City and missed the best opportunity to attack the Falling Star City, the plans of the Black Armor Army began to be constantly disrupted, sending five masters of the Transformation God Realm to besiege Xing Wulife, and took the opportunity to kill Xing Wulife, but instead of stealing chickens, he was killed by the Dao Sect master who rushed to reinforce him, severely injured one, and lost two Transformation God Realm combat power.
In the end, the Holy Fire National Master risked his life to drag Zhang Xuanshu, and the Ghost Face General personally tried to kill Xing Wuming and Xing Wuye father and son in one fell swoop, but was rushed by Qin Zhenqian, and finally only killed Xing Wuye, but also caused the Holy Fire National Master to suffer unexpected serious injuries.
Next, if the plan is disrupted again, the ghost-faced general can no longer be calm, even if the black armor army has a big cause, he can't help but squander it like this, but the temptation to take down Falling Star City is too great for them, one-third of Yangzhou is at their fingertips, and they can use this as a foundation to gradually encroach on the big business, and it is not impossible to slowly take the big business when the time comes.
"Then next, let's take down the beautiful thousand-year-old city in front of us, Falling Star City, I wonder if the national teacher can continue to fight again?" said the Ghostface General with a chuckle.
"As you wish, I hope you don't break your promise after taking Falling Star City, otherwise my emperor will definitely make you miserable. The Holy Flame National Master said indifferently.
With that, the Holy Fire National Master got up and walked out of the big tent with Helian City and the top generals of the Red Flame Army behind him.
The ghost-faced general lowered his head slightly, was silent thoughtfully for a while, and then said coldly: "Inform those crazy people, and when the big array is completed, it is time for them to help." ”
As soon as the words fell, a man in black walked out of the dark corner of the big tent, bowed to the ghost-faced general, and then turned around and left the big tent.
The Holy Flame National Master led Helian Cheng and the others to the front line slowly.
"Master, have your injuries healed?" Helian Cheng asked in a whispered voice behind the Holy Fire Nation Master, with some concern.
The Holy Flame National Master turned his head slightly and glanced at Helian Cheng, and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, the injury of the master is not as serious as you see, and it has already healed. ”
"Tu'er understands that Tu'er has already ordered everything, as long as there is any change in the Black Armor Army after the breakthrough of Falling Star City, I will immediately order a breakthrough out, but I don't think the Black Armor Army will dare to attack us at this time. Helian Cheng whispered.
The Holy Flame National Master shook his head lightly and did not speak.
Helian Cheng saw that his master shook his head lightly and didn't speak, and knew that he might have missed some details again, so he frowned and began to think again.
In fact, Helian Cheng was right, generally speaking, as long as he is a normal person, he will not do anything to his allies at this critical moment, and attacking the allies at this moment will only have disadvantages and no benefits, after all, how can there be infighting before defeating the common enemy.
At the earliest, it is the best time to wait for the moment when Yangzhou of Dashang is taken, a city cannot satisfy the ghost-faced general at all, at least the entire Yangzhou of Dashang can barely satisfy him, and even if he takes the entire Yangzhou realm, he will not dare to attack himself at will, otherwise he will not only have to face the anger of Dashang, but Daxia will definitely send troops to retaliate!
A smart person like General Ghostface wouldn't be able to figure this out, so Helian City didn't understand what he was missing.
It was finally dawn.
The strength of the Black Armor Army on the battlefield has gradually declined, and the choice has begun to slowly retreat.
At this time, the soldiers of Falling Star City thought that the Black Armor Army had finally retreated, and they could rest and relax for a while.
Although the two days were said to be alternate defenses and battles, a few of the soldiers who were replaced could really calm down and rest, and seeing that many of their former comrades-in-arms around them had fallen on the cold battlefield, that kind of mental pressure was not at all something ordinary people could bear.
After the black-armored army on the battlefield withdrew for five miles, the soldiers of Falling Star City could clearly see that the corpses were all over the battlefield within ten miles, and many corpses overlapped together, including the black-armored army and their comrades-in-arms, all of whom fell to the ground in a blur, and the corpses of the soldiers on both sides were piled up.
At this moment, life seems very fragile.
However, this is war, if it were not for the desperate fight of this group of warriors, the Falling Star City would have already fallen, and the people would have been displaced, or even killed, and even worse, the women and children in the family would have been taken captive, and the men would have been captured into slavery, and perhaps they would never have been able to turn over.
Sometimes the war is to satisfy the ambitions of the superiors, but too often it is to protect the city in their hearts, the city that makes them feel the beauty of the world, and is full of laughter.
Although Luo Mao didn't understand why the Black Armor Army suddenly retreated, he still ordered the front-line soldiers to be on guard, and the soldiers in the city went out of the city to clear the battlefield and establish a military defense line.
Qin Zhenqian frowned tightly beside him, and then closed his eyes and was thinking about something.
The scene of the Black Armor Army retreating slowly, leaving corpses all over the ground made Qin Zhenqian feel a little strange, but he was at a loss for a moment, and couldn't figure out what was strange.
It stands to reason that the corpse soldiers are tireless at all, they don't need to rest, they should always attack the city, why did they choose to retreat at this time, the most terrifying thing about the corpse soldiers is this, the never-ending attack, so that the enemy can not rest, if there is no city wall to rely on, they only need to make the enemy run away from the continuous crazy attack regardless of sacrifice.
Some people may find it strange, so if you control the army of a million to besiege the enemy in batches and continuously, wouldn't the enemy be easily trapped to death?
This is wrong, first of all, although soldiers can rely on a momentary excitement, or a passionate charge without fear of sacrifice, but they are people, not soldiers, once this blood is over, they will feel afraid, and see their companions falling one by one, their pace will slow down, and they will even turn around and flee in fear.
Once there is a first deserter, there will be a second, and this panic will spread like a strong virus, and if it is not relieved in time, then it will lead to the failure of the attack, but the morale of the other side will be greatly boosted.
Unless they have a purpose that they will achieve even if they die, so that they can not be afraid of sacrifice.
Just like the soldiers of Falling Star City, behind them is their home, with the most elite Falling Star City guards standing with them, and on the city walls are their godlike city lords, senior generals of Falling Star City, and even the current crown prince.
The imperial court didn't give up on them, they didn't give up Falling Star City, how could they themselves choose to run away and give up their homeland at this time?
The soldiers of Falling Star City have no choice, and behind them is their home, once they retreat, the fall of Falling Star City will be gone, and their wives, parents, children, and brothers may all be killed.
There is no way out but to fight a bloody way to survive! This is survival! This is the meaning of war!
Too often, peace is bought with blood, and everyone can retreat when they are invaded by foreign enemies, but as a soldier who defends his home and country, he cannot retreat even if he dies!
Holding on for a second more may be hopeful, but if you take a step back, maybe your home will be gone, and your most cherished and precious things may be gone.
Do you think this step can be reversed?
There is always no way back in war, and retreating means one step closer to destruction. Degree of literature
