……

At the end of the battle the next day, the two sides withdrew their troops, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies back to the barracks, while the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army were still discussing today's battle.

Ruan Xiangju handed a cup of hot tea to Shan Meng, who stretched his sad face slightly, and barely squeezed out a smile at her.

Liao Yong took a step forward and said: "Commander-in-chief, it was my plan that was not thorough enough, which led to today's unfavorable battle, please ask the commander-in-chief to punish the crime!" ”

Ah Meng waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, the plan you made is very detailed, and the sneak attack of the Fire Cavalry Regiment has also achieved certain results, but what I didn't expect is that the enemy also wants to copy our back road, although our front has been broken, but the enemy has suffered a lot of casualties, but the whole day of fighting has not found the banner of the Black Dragon Army, is it that the Black Dragon Army did not come?" ”

Zhou Shan's side continued: "Commander-in-chief, today our troops plundered the enemy's two wings as usual, but saw that the enemy's reinforcements were too close, and did not dare to go deeper, according to the front line report, there are some special flags in the enemy's army, all of which are earthy yellow, embroidered with black earth dragons, and have not seen the flags move from beginning to end, I don't know how the enemy army will be arranged!" ”

Ah Meng looked at the generals after hearing this, and said: "Today has lost 3,000 more men and horses than yesterday, and I can't go on like this, I have decided to fight a decisive battle tomorrow, and the battle will be won or lost......

When all the generals heard this, they all had sad faces, and they all missed the days when Liu Zhibang was in command, but how dare they say it.

Just as everyone was silent, a herald ran in outside the door and knelt down and shouted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, there is news from Usang City!" ”

"Oh! Grab it! ”

Shan Meng took the book and opened it, his face became even more gloomy, and Lu Er couldn't help asking, "Commander-in-chief, what happened?" ”

Shan Meng handed the letter to Lu Er and said to the generals: "According to the news from Wumang City, the Black Dragon Army has been holding its ground because we have not dispatched the strongest camp, and it is not worth his Black Dragon Army's attack......"

"Ah...... It's too much, dare to look down on our Han army......"

"There is nothing more deceptive than ignorance, and the black allies really have no one in sight ......"

"Commander-in-chief, tomorrow our department will invite the head of the battle, and the Black Dragon Army will be called if there is no return......"

"Commander-in-chief, I'll take the lead......"

Ma San came out at this time and said: "Commander-in-chief, last night a supply convoy of 100 guards was attacked, including the people who transported food, none of the 186 people survived, and all the materials were reduced to ashes, presumably it was the Black Dragon Army that escaped, I heard you just say that there were only eleven people in the Black Dragon Army who escaped, it can be seen how extraordinary the combat power of the Black Dragon Army is, we must not underestimate the arrogance of the Black Dragon Army, do not use troops rashly......"

Long Jie also continued: "Yes, commander-in-chief, it's better for us to withdraw to Baiyangdu first, and wait for the commander to decide ......."

Shan Meng looked at everyone with a calm face, and said: "I have sent the situation on the front line to the commander, and I have mobilized Xia Yong's second division to come to support, it will arrive at noon tomorrow, our Han army has never had the tradition of retreating without winning or losing, and we cannot be underestimated by the enemy, since they want to see the strength of our Han army, then how can we disappoint them, Division Commander Lu, tomorrow the Guards Division will be the first formation, the first division and the third division will be the left and right armies, Division Commander Zhou, you are responsible for asking for help and pursuit, Division Commander Fei, your department is the reserve army, and the Chinese army is guarded by a regiment of Division Commander Ruan, Don't go all out to break the enemy! ”

"Yes!"

On the third day, as soon as the two red suns rose over the horizon, the horses of the brigade marched out of their respective camps and set up a position on the open plain.

The distant horizon also slowly pushed a large number of people and horses, it was overwhelming, and there was no edge in sight, Shan Meng stood on the chariot and looked into the distance, and there was a row of earthy yellow flags slowly coming out in the middle of the black army a few miles away, lined up in front of the front army formation, although he couldn't see it clearly, but Ah Meng could intuitively find that this team of only a thousand people was as terrible as a group of flood beasts, a black line was laid in front of Pang Yongchang's army, and the black clothes and black armor of the whole body were even more murderous.

"Commander-in-chief, can you get started?"

Shan Meng nodded deeply, and the herald turned, the pennant held aloft fell, and a loud brass horn sounded.

"Forward!"

At the same time, Pang Yongchang's army also moved, only to see a row of black lines in the front began to push forward, and when it approached the Han army, it began to run, and the ground began to shake in rhythm, the sound became louder and louder, and the huge hoofs overshadowed the galloping sound of thousands of troops and horses, and it was like a magic hammer knocking into people's hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a little fearful.

Boom...... Boom......

The rhythmic sound of hooves became louder and closer, and when it was clearly visible to the naked eye, the soldiers running at the front of the Han army were infinitely frightened, the soles of their feet were weak, and their shouts became weaker and weaker, gradually turning into howls of fear.

"Ah...... What's that......"

"Dragon, ......"

The soldiers behind "rush, ......" could not see the front, but still rushed forward, huddled together with the soldiers who stopped in front.

"Kill ......"

Sixty earth dragons stood in a line, with fire spewing from their two nostrils, staring at the blood-red eyes and lowering their heads, the Niuli armored car at the front of the guard division was smashed to pieces, rushed into the Han soldiers, and knocked over countless people, opened their bloody mouths, opened and closed the soldiers one by one into stumps and broken arms, the huge dragon tail swept, and countless Han soldiers screamed and flew into the sky and fell to their deaths in the crowd. The earth dragon with a body size comparable to that of an elephant rushed violently, and the soldiers of the Han army were trampled by them like seedlings in the field, and Ah Meng was stunned when he saw it, and all the generals of the Han army were almost stunned.

Seeing this scene, Liao Yong shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, use heavy weapons!" ”

Ah Meng also recovered from his fright and shouted, "Quick, use heavy weapons!" ”

When the Dilong successfully broke through the advance of the Guards Division, the other two sides of the battle line also fought fiercely, and for a time the sky was dark, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.

The Guards Division re-stabilized the formation under the command of Lu Er, but it still couldn't stop the Earth Dragon's continued advance, more than a thousand black-clothed and black-armored Black Dragon Army soldiers continued to shoot cold arrows behind the Earth Dragon, accurately shooting through the eyes and heads through the small holes on the faces of the Guards Division soldiers, countless Guards soldiers fell one by one, and the sharp blades used by the Guards Division soldiers stabbed the Earth Dragon's body, but they were blocked by the Earth Dragon's hard scale armor, and the Earth Dragon's scale armor was thick and tough, and even the alloy knife could not easily cut through.

Although some Han soldiers managed to stab the Earth Dragon in the eye and seriously injure the Earth Dragon, the Earth Dragon became even more frantic after being stabbed, and the flames of the big mouth gushed out from the huge dragon's mouth, igniting a large number of soldiers. Countless companions fell to the ground and died, gradually arousing the brave nature of the Han soldiers, most of the guards were outstanding hunters and warriors of the tribes of Wumang Mountain, no matter how difficult they were, they could not make them succumb, they went forward one after another, sacrificing their lives to pounce on the earth dragon, for a time the earth dragon forward was entangled, and the speed of the earth dragon's advance was greatly reduced.
