Wei Dongsheng was extremely decadent and left. As a military leader in Hunan, he is also a local hero, when the soldiers in his hands are finished, his power immediately fell by an unknown number of grades, and the future will definitely be sad. I don't know when I'll be able to turn over.

Lu Yuan left depressedly.

It seemed that he had won this battle, but the tenacious fighting spirit shown by the Tang Army and the determination to fight to the end made him frightened.

This subverted his perception of the military and his years of experience in the military.

If more than 10 percent of an army is wiped out, its morale will inevitably plummet, and if more than 30 percent is wiped out, it can basically be judged that this army has lost its combat effectiveness, and if it is more than 50 percent, this army will almost be abolished.

Just like this army led by Wei Dongsheng.

But the Tang Army was different.

Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out.

Wei Dongsheng couldn't figure it out.

But for Li Ze, there is nothing strange about all this.

From the time he began to build this army, he was bent on building this army into an army with soul and faith.

An army of faith, no matter how great the losses, will not collapse because of defeat, but will only try to do what little strength they seem so insignificant in order to change the final outcome.

They don't know what the end result will be.

But they are convinced that their side will win.

Since the beginning of Yixing Society, Li Ze has been sparing no effort to do this thing.

The discipline of the Tang Army was strict, but strict discipline alone did not necessarily win the recognition and respect of the people. The Yixing Society, on the other hand, has done a lot of work in the army.

When the Tang army was stationed in one place, in addition to completing their own training and other tasks, they were organized to help the local bridge and pave roads, to help the people to plough in the spring, to harvest in the autumn, and to help the widows and loneliness.

Whenever a place is affected by disasters and suffers, the first batch of people who appear where they appear will always be the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Doing it once in a while doesn't change anything.

But if you have been committed to doing certain things for more than ten years, quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes. And when this army feels the heartfelt support and love of the people, they will naturally have the idea of protecting them.

When the army is no longer simply a war machine, but has its own purpose, and produces its own soul, it will naturally have many more things that other people cannot understand at all.

In fact, no matter what kind of army it is, there will always be some heroes who inspire others, even in the history of Hunan's own army, such heroes can be caught in large numbers.

However, when a whole army like the Tang Army, from the generals to the soldiers, is like this, it has to be frightened.

When Lu Yuan was running towards Tiaoziling, he was still thinking about why it was like this?

If this army in Tiaoziling is also like this, then, how can this battle be fought?

Even if this battle is won, how will it fight with the other Tang troops next?

This is only a third of the troops of one of the twelve guards of the Tang army.

For the first time, Lu Yuan was terrified of the future.

He was a cavalry general, and this time he was met by a foot soldier of the Tang Army. Cavalry against foot soldiers, there is a congenital suppression of the military road, but the south is not based on cavalry. Because of the lack of war horses, it was impossible for them to form a large-scale cavalry corps like in the north.

Lu Yuan now didn't dare to imagine what would happen if one day he ran into those world-famous cavalry in the north? Let's say Li De's rangers, let's say Cheng De wolf riders.

In the past, Lu Yuan thought that even if he was not an opponent, he would always have the power to fight. But now that he has seen the power of the real Tang Army, this little confidence that he has left is already shaky.

In fact, it was not only Lu Yuan, Wei Dongsheng had this feeling, and Ding Hao, who was commanding the siege of Tiaoziling, also had the same feeling.

Ren Xiaonian has become a turtle in Wengzhong. Although they captured Tiaoziling by surprise at the last moment, less than 7,000 Tang troops in the small Tiaoziling military village did not even have room to move, and around them, nearly 30,000 Hunan troops had gathered, besieged Tiaoziling, and fought for three days in a row, except for leaving a thick layer of corpses on top of Tiaoziling, nothing was gained.

The military village on Tiaozi Ridge is like a nail, pierced in front of Ding Hao, whether you burn it or hammer it, it does not melt or bend, and stands stubbornly.

When Ji Zhijiang arrived with 20,000 troops, Ding Hao let out a long breath, because after three days of fierce attacks, his army was already really full of strength, and then it declined, and it was exhausted in three times.

Attacking such a stubborn defensive position, if the first battle does not achieve fruitful results, then it will be difficult to make big gains in the next step.

The 30,000 Hunan Army is indeed already discouraged.

After all, they are not the most elite troops in Hunan.

Those armies are still confronting Right Weiwei in Yiyang!

"General Ji, it's up to you!" Ding Hao was not polite, and threw the ball directly to Ji Zhijiang.

Ji Zhijiang is Xiang Zhen's cronies, and they are Xiang Zhen's partners. Although they are now in the same boat, Ding Hao is still happy to let his soldiers take a breather.

What's more, the 10,000 Lingnan army brought by Ji Zhijiang is much stronger than the army under his command, and Ding Hao still has a very clear understanding of this.

Ji Zhijiang took over the baton of attacking the Tiaoziling military village.

More trebuchets were erected, but this time instead of stone projectiles, bundles of firewood and straw doused with fierce fire oil.

Laying down Tiaoziling, the most important thing is the stone fort that guarded the road before the military village. In the past three days, Ding Hao has been sinking in the sand in front of this stone castle.

Qin Kuan was the commander of the defensive battle of this stone fort.

In the past three days, in order to defend this stone fort, Qin Kuan has lost half of his subordinates. Holding this stone fort is the key to the success of the entire defense, and Ren Xiaonian has already replenished him twice.

Repelling the enemy's attacks again and again, it is not only the lives of the soldiers that have been paid, their fierce fire bombs and grenades have been exhausted, and they have little left in terms of superiority in weapons.

Ji Zhijiang did not rush to attack, but endlessly projected these bundles of firewood burned with fierce fire oil towards this stone fort, as if he wanted to completely submerge the entire stone fort with fire.

Ding Hao had also used this trick, but he didn't have fierce fire oil. Therefore, the effect is greatly reduced, and these things that are thrown and gone can be easily eliminated by the defender.

However, the Lingnan army used a large number of fierce fire oil bombs, although the power was not as strong as that of the Tang army, but it was still a fierce fire oil bomb.

The entire stone castle seemed to be on fire.

Looking at the burning stone castle, Ding Hao's face, which had been gloomy, finally showed a smile.

"After taking them, our whole army will go east, and then take Yu Xiaowen, Li Yu, haha, this time to the general's efforts, it can be regarded as a great achievement. The entire guard and horse of the Tang Army were wiped out by us, and it was impossible to hit our attention again in a short time. Ding Hao waved his arm and said.

Ji Zhijiang nodded, and after looking at the stone fort, the Tang army was retreating from the stone fort in embarrassment and retreating towards the main village farther up, and he finally smiled.

After taking this stone fort, Tiaoziling can be regarded as having captured seven or eight times.

"Attack!" He ordered loudly.

The Lingnan army, about 2,000 people, rushed to the stone fort with a shout.

There was no enemy in the stone fort, and the biggest task of their charge this time was only to completely control the entire stone fort, and after not letting the fire go out, it was rushed down and taken away by the Tang army.

Qin Kuan was lying in a shallow ditch, with a cloth towel covering his mouth. Originally, the cloth towel was wet with water, but at this moment, under the scorching heat behind him, it was already dry in the blink of an eye.

The armor on his body was like a red-hot iron plate, scorching his back, and from time to time falling stones would hit his back.

As soon as he tore off the cloth, he opened his mouth wide and breathed hard, but there was nothing in the air except for the heat, as if there was nothing to breathe in, and the pain in his lungs was scorching.

He snorted and buried his face in the ground, struggling to get the nourishment he wanted from the dirt beneath him.

It is true that the large forces retreated. Under such an attack, there would be no place in the stone castle at all.

He now had a thousand people, and these people were hiding among the layers of corpses around the stone castle.

They came out last night, originally intending to give a head-on attack when the enemy attacked again, a reverse attack.

Qin Kuan didn't expect the Lingnan Army to come over, nor did he expect the Lingnan Army to attack in such a way.

Now, behind him was a raging fire, and in front of him were thousands of shouting Lingnan troops.

There was no way back for him.

He can only fight to the death.

The only advantage is that the enemy didn't know that there was such a group of people waiting for them here.

No one would have thought that these people would put themselves in the midst of a Jedi.

In fact, this is not what Qin Kuan wants, but the form is compelled, and he can only take advantage of the situation.

As for whether you can go back alive next, is it important?

When they were surrounded here, everyone didn't think that they would be able to go back alive.

Lingnan soldiers rushed up.

The fire in front of them stopped them, and they waited for the fire to go down and go out.

Qin Kuan suddenly exploded at the moment when these Lingnan soldiers relaxed.

As soon as he jumped up, he just slashed the head of a Lingnan officer in front of him and flew high, and before everyone came to his senses, he rushed into the Lingnan soldiers like a leopard that had been hunting for a long time.

One after another, the Tang army jumped up from the ground full of corpses and slaughtered into the Lingnan army.

Under the ridge, Ding Hao's face changed.

Ji Zhijiang's face also changed.
