Chapter 168: Heroes Can't Save This Era
As the sun sets, there is only a touch of sunset reflecting the green waters and green mountains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Hump Swallow Ridge was littered with ruins, rivers of blood, corpses everywhere, and the sound of collapse and burning explosions rang out from time to time, and wisps of gunpowder smoke always emitted a stench that made people vomit.
The soldiers of the Han army were busy cleaning the battlefield and collecting the corpses, and the resistance of the 800 Shanyue defenders in Swallowing Camel Ridge was fierce, but in the face of the strong strength of the Han army and the number of several times their own, they still did not set off any storms......
In a clearing on the top of the mountain, in the gradual dissipation of gunpowder smoke and blood, there are a few faint greens, which are small grasses that have just sprouted, braving the cold of early spring, unyielding out of the ground.
The dust and mist fell from the sky, and a huge hole appeared in the middle of the tall outer wall, and the earthen wall next to it fell down like quicksand......
Thanks to the ingenious use of gunpowder tactics, Shanyue's fragile city walls are as fragile as paper paste in front of the Shousheng battalion army, not to mention that Shanyue's main force has all been evacuated, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.
The smoke of the battle of Baibi Mountain has dissipated, and the eighteen villages that were known as unbreakable in the past have also fallen apart, but the supremacy of Zhang Fan has achieved Zhang Fan's one-day leveling of the eighteen villages, and even the Baibi Mountain, which has been in peace for a hundred years, has to bow down under the sword and gun, and the recruits of the first victory battalion are growing step by step in the tempering of blood and fire......
"First Victory Camp ~ First Victory Camp ~ First Victory Camp ~"
This is undoubtedly a hearty, crushing victory. The veterans' expressions were calm, but the three thousand recruits who had just been recruited raised their weapons and raised their arms and shouted. For the first time, because of the meaning given to me by the three words "Shousheng Camp", I felt a sense of glory and pride.
Very good! The soldiers' confidence and combat effectiveness are enhanced by one victory after another......
Zhang Fan looked at the smiling faces of the soldiers who couldn't hide their joy, smiled knowingly, his thoughts flew sideways, and he suddenly sighed:
In this world filled with gunpowder, in these years of fire, there are many people who are constantly killing for profit, for faith, and for survival.
I know exactly what I'm fighting for, so do these people in front of me know what they're fighting for?
ā¦ā¦
"Hey! What are you thinking? Everyone is so happy, why do you look preoccupied? ā
Lu Lingqi watched Zhang Fan from a distance in the carnival crowd, her brows furrowed, looking out of place. Although he sometimes has an unserious side, most of them give people the impression that he has a strong sense of crisis and urgency, is burdened with a lot of pressure, and hides a lot of secrets deep in his heart.
Isn't it tiring to live like this? Lu Lingqi suddenly felt a pain in her heart inexplicably, and couldn't help but come over to talk.
Zhang Fan turned his head and gave Lu Lingqi a warm smile, "The first time you led the troops alone, you won a big victory, are you happy?" ā
Lu Lingqi's two eyes were bent into crescent moons, but she said:
"Hmm...... It's okay! I feel that the thunder is too powerful, and I can't show my true strength at all......"
Zhang Fan has become accustomed to her arrogance and mismatch, smiling without saying a word.
"Well, didn't we win? Why don't you smile more? ā
Zhang Fan shook his head, "Zu Lang hasn't caught it yet...... There are still 14,000 troops out there that could counterattack at any time, and it's too early to celebrate......"
Lu Lingqi pursed her lips and said, "Cut!" Who do you think can't see it? Zu Lang marched hundreds of miles day and night to chase after the Two Realms Mountain, and then rushed back from the Two Realms Mountain Fire, how tired did the soldiers have to be? The combat effectiveness can be imagined......
"At that time, our army will wait for work, and only need to set up an ambush where it must pass, even if Zu Lang knows that there is a tiger's den in Longtan ahead, but he can't afford to wait, so he has to break through...... In any case, our army is always invincible. ā
"Pa~papa~papa~" Zhang Fan applauded with a smile, "Not bad!" General Lu Bi, in your opinion, where should our army set up an ambush? ā
Lu Lingqi herself has been following Lu Bu since she was a child, and after Zhang Fan's deliberate cultivation and allocation, her attainments in the art of war have become higher and higher recently, and her martial arts have also advanced by leaps and bounds, and it seems that she is not far from being alone.
Lu Lingqi listened to Zhang Fan's praise, her little face was happy, and she confidently pointed to the southeast and said:
"Needless to say, it must be the Ape Sorrow Gorge!"
Ape Sorrow Gorge is a narrow canyon that lies in the southern foot of Baibi Mountain for 50 miles, the cliffs on both sides are thousands, and the apes want to climb up to have to worry, so they get the name - Ape Sorrow Gorge.
"Heroes see the same thing! In fact, I have asked Jiang Qin to lead the cavalry to bypass Zulang's army, and take the first step to go to the Ape Chou Gorge to wait for our army to pass...... It seems that someone has been around smart people for a long time, and their IQ has also improved! ā
"Phew!" Lu Lingqi took a sip, "Horses don't know how long their faces are!" You've put less gold on your face. This girl is naturally intelligent! What does it have to do with you? Hum! ā
Zhang Fan smiled and said nothing, with an expression of "I'll just look at you quietly pretending to be forced", Lu Lingqi couldn't help but blow up:
"Hey! What do you mean? Doubting my IQ? ā
"How dare you! You have a high IQ, higher than the mountains, higher than the sky! Is that okay? Zhang Fan tilted his head slightly, with a doting smile on his face.
Seeing this ambiguous smile, Lu Lingqi suddenly remembered the last time she was secretly kissed by him, and suddenly two red clouds appeared, and she quickly opened the topic stiffly:
"Hey...... You burned their houses and food, what are you going to do with those Yue people? With no place to live and nothing to eat, what's the difference between this and killing them directly? ā
Zhang Fan put away the expression of the hippie smile, and said:
"The difference is huge! There are hundreds of mountain gathering places in this hundred mountains, and I have only destroyed the largest eighteen. They can go to other tribes for help, don't the Shanyue tribes always advocate solidarity and mutual assistance? That's the time for inspection......"
Lu Lingqi suddenly realized, and said with a shocked face:
"No wonder you only captured these eighteen villages, and ignored the rest of the cottages. Because you know that such a huge number of refugees are pouring into the rest of the cottages, and there is no need to continue to fight, housing crisis, food pressure, conflicts...... Drag them down...... I thought you didn't kill them, but it turned out to be a conspiracy......"
Lu Lingqi is still very satisfied with one thing, probably because of the influence of her father, she understands a truth: soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty.
Although he did not agree with Zhang Fan's proposition, she would never disobey the military order, and would still do her best to complete the task to the letter. chose to find an opportunity to advise Zhang Fan later......
Because of this, Zhang Fan was relieved and boldly sent Lu Lingqi to fight alone. It turned out that his choice was right, and Lu Lingqi did quite well. However, Zhang Fan was powerless for her useless moral baggage for the time being, so he could only selectively ignore it......
Zhang Fan's deep eyes were cold, and he said lightly:
"Since ancient times, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not wealthy. A woman's kindness will only harm others and herself, and will not end well. War does not tolerate a little mercy, in my world, there are only pros and cons, there is no right or wrong! Being a hero can't save this era, only a hero can. Think about it! Don't bother me with stupid questions like this in the future......"
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, leaving only the crazy Lu Lingqi to curse secretly...... (To be continued.) )
