Twilight had fallen, and the shelling in front of the mouth of the gorge had stopped. A light rain fell in the valley, and the thick black clouds pressed very low, as if they were pressing on the top of people's heads, and even more on people's hearts.

Zhang Jue and other generals gathered in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, everyone's face was like ashes, no one could speak, and there was a dead silence in the tent. The curtains were lifted from time to time, and hundreds and thousands of households went in and out to report war damage.

As the information on the battle damage continued to gather, the faces of the generals of the Yuan army became more and more ugly, they almost did not fight with the Dragon Bird Army, and were only bombarded for the whole afternoon, but the losses were equivalent to fighting a tragic battle of medium intensity - the number of soldiers killed and wounded reached more than 570 people, including two thousand households and five hundred households; Thousands of horses, cattle and sheep were lost; 21,000 stones of grain and grass were burned; The loss of other tents, vehicles, weapons, putty and other military funds is also shocking.

The two armies were two miles apart, the troops and horses were not connected, the artillery arrows were not fired, and one side only set up eight cannons from a distance, causing such heavy losses to the other side...... It was the first time that Zhang Jue and other generals of the Yuan Army came into contact with such a war model that subverted the traditional methods of warfare.

If the loss of these horses and horses is tangible, then the loss of almost crushing the morale of the army by the artillery is intangible, and the impact of this invisible loss on the Yuan army is far greater than the tangible loss.

The generals of the Yuan army had no doubt that if the Dragon Bird Army continued to bombard like this, in another two or three days, there would be no need to start fighting, and the army would collapse. This reminds them of the Battle of Xiangyang, how did Xiangyang, a fortified city that once delayed the fall of a dynasty with a city, break? It was the terrifying return artillery, and the eight guns of the Dragon Sparrow Army were ten times more terrifying than the return artillery. Although there are not many of them, the speed and distance of the fire are far superior to those of the return artillery, and the power of the iron bullet is far more than that of the stone bullet.

Even Xiangyang City couldn't stop the terrible artillery bombardment, how could their temporary camp withstand the artillery bombardment?

As Marshal Du said on his deathbed, if you don't want to be bombarded by artillery, you can only rush out before it collapses.

The battle had already been lost, and it was so badly defeated that even the commander was killed under the artillery. The defeated army lost its commander, and according to the wartime regulations of the Yuan army, all generals must be severely punished, but the matter has come to this point and cannot be reversed. The only hope now is to lead as many soldiers and horses as possible to break through the siege, escape back to Qiongguan, and save more living forces.

Since they decided to break through, naturally the sooner the better, they only had one night to prepare.

Any breakout action involves two issues: breakthrough and break-up.

At this moment, what the Yuan army wants to break through is the Nameless Peak; After it is broken, what is broken is the pursuit of the Dragon Bird Army.

Nameless Peak, after a day of bloody battles, nearly 1,000 Yuan troops under Liu Zili were all killed; Saariman's rear reinforcements were also heavily damaged. At present, whether it is the Yuan army in the north camp or the rear army of the Yuan army in the south, they can only send hundreds of soldiers and horses to contain the Song army of the Nameless Peak, and they dare not attack the mountain again. Under such a severely restricted terrain, in the face of the four terrifying artillery pieces and hundreds of muskets of the Song army, adding more "oil" is just a head.

"To break through the Nameless Peak, there is only one way - night attack." A Yuan army Wanhu said, "We must send a sharp post to contact the rear army as soon as possible, make an appointment, send a total of heavy troops, and attack the nameless peak at the same time, and then the whole army will take advantage of the situation to break through." ”

The generals of the Yuan army in the tent are silent, and marching at night has always been a taboo for soldiers, unless it is a well-trained elite soldier, it is easy to fall behind, get lost, or even flee in chaos. Especially in such a deep mountain and old forest, braving artillery fire and bullet rain, there will definitely be a chaotic situation, even if you escape back to Qiongguan, I am afraid that there will not be many people left. If the remaining soldiers and horses are unfavorable and are chased and killed by the rank and tail of the dragon sparrow, the end will be worse than defending the camp......

"Break through nine deaths, don't break through ten deaths, I hope you think twice." After speaking, the Yuan army Wanhu said no more, and sat down with a calm face.

All the generals in the tent were silent, and all kinds of tastes came to their hearts. Once upon a time, under the leadership of the Dayuan Jiubadu, they were at the forefront of the army, and the Song army either looked at the wind or surrendered, and finally beat the emperor of the Song State to jump into the sea...... All the honor came to an abrupt end in Qiongzhou, the two armies did not even set up a battle array, and the invincible marshal was inexplicably bombarded and killed. Then they had hundreds of brave generals, nearly 10,000 warriors, and they could only shrink into the camp, and be ravaged by the terrible artillery over and over again. What's even more sad is that the battalion of elite soldiers and fierce generals was stuck by a Song army of no more than 100 people, and even escape became a luxury.

Shame on you! Pathetic!

Full of generals, everyone bowed their heads and gritted their teeth, snorted, their fists clenched, and the strong sense of humiliation made them want to immediately order troops to rush out of the camp and fight to the death with the Dragon Sparrow Army.

After a while, the Yuan army Wanhu said: "What do you think?" ”

After a long time, one of them said, "Agreed." ”

Then another general replied, "Agreed." ”

"Agree ......"

More and more Yuan generals responded, no matter how unwilling they were, there was no way, as the Yuan army Wanhu said, there is still a chance to survive in the breakthrough, if you don't break through, you will really sit and wait for death, and the death is worthless - what is the value of being smashed into a mess of minced meat by the falling iron ball?

Now the problem comes, since you want to break through, someone has to break the back. In this current situation, the people who have been cut off will face the terrifying blow of the Dragon Sparrow Army. Those who break through still have a chance to die, and the person who leaves behind the broken is the real one who dies without life!

Who is willing to stay if they have a long life?

Silence, long silence.

"I'll stay." Suddenly, a faint but calm voice came from a corner of the tent. The eyes of the generals gathered, and the person who spoke was Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue's expression was as calm as his voice, but the corners of his eyes twitched from time to time due to the pain of his broken arm, but his eyes were extremely determined.

The generals of the Yuan army in the tent looked at the young general who had a broken arm, and several Yuan generals dissuaded him in unison: "Zhang Qianhu, the handsome man died, as a son and nephew, he should help the coffin to return to the north and fulfill his filial piety, how can he be so disrespectful and sacrifice ...... lightly"

Zhang Jue tightened his fist, gritted his teeth and said: "The best filial piety is to avenge your uncle and the handsome!" The enemy killed, hid his face and fled, could it be that my Yizhou Zhang boy did it! ”

"Zhang Qianhu ......"

"Virtuous Nephew ......"

"All the gentlemen are kind, Zhang Jue understands it." Zhang Jue shook his head with one arm, and Huo Ran stood up, "If there is nothing else, Zhang Jie will go and prepare." ”

Yuan Jun Wanhu sighed: "Zhang Qianhu is filial piety and righteousness, seek benevolence and benevolence, and the monarchs will wish him peace here." ”

All the generals of the Yuan army sighed and saluted Zhang Jue in unison.

Zhang Jue couldn't return the salute with one arm, so he could only bow his head to the generals in the tent one by one, turn around and lift the tent curtain, and walk out of the tent.

At the moment when Zhang Jue stepped out of the tent of the Chinese military camp, suddenly the camp screamed, Zhang Jue was shocked, his hand pressed the handle of the knife, and his eyes glanced around vigilantly. There was no intention all around, but the scalp was numb for no reason...... Zhang Jue Huo Ran raised his head, and his eyes suddenly reflected a fireball with a dark red firelight, falling from the sky......

A chill soaked from the top of Zhang Jue's head to the soles of his feet, making him shiver all over his body - bastard! Just thinking about the night attack and breaking through, the Dragon Sparrow Army actually made the first move!
