Chapter 222: Is It Hard to Resist an Army of 400,000?
As soon as the words fell.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion held torches in unison and lit the fuses of the artillery.
Boom –
Boom –
Boom –
Almost instantly, three hundred guns fired in unison.
And the 50,000 sword and shield soldiers led by Cao Zheng are miserable.
Some of the fighters were hiding from the boulders and did not notice the shells at all.
I heard a loud bang, and even the ground beneath my feet began to tremble.
Immediately afterward, countless fighters were blown into blood clots.
Blood splattered.
Many of the fighters had not even had time to scream before they had turned into warm corpses.
And Cao Zheng, who is the chief general of the sword and shield soldiers, is carrying a ghost-headed broadsword at the moment, and his eyes are red!
"Brothers, don't be afraid, victory is ahead, as long as we resist this wave of attacks, we have a chance to fight back."
"We are all elite warriors of Persia, the dog thieves of Dayan have occupied our land and killed our brothers, we want revenge, kill!"
After speaking, Cao Zheng's eyes were red and he rushed towards Mulan.
Although there are countless stones blocked, Cao Zheng himself is also strong.
He had the confidence to crawl over.
As long as he was in front of the enemy, he was more confident, and he killed a thousand people with one sword, creating favorable conditions for the large army of sword and shield soldiers.
But at this moment, a cannonball fell directly less than five meters away from Cao Zheng.
Boom –
With a loud bang, Cao Zheng was directly swept away by a huge wave of qi and hit the stone hard.
Immediately afterwards, three or four shells fell directly on Cao Zheng's side.
Boom –
Boom –
Boom –
With a few explosions, a puff of smoke passed.
Cao Zheng was gone, and all that was left on the ground was a deep pit and some minced flesh and a tattered ghost-headed knife stuck in the ground.
The battle was almost one-sided, and in less than half an hour, the 50,000 sword and shield soldiers had already lost more than 20,000.
In the distance, Gongsun Li's face was gloomy.
She never expected that the 50,000 army would lose nearly half of it so quickly.
She knew there was no point in going on.
The Lord will be dead and demoralized.
Gongsun Li turned to look at the herald: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
With the sound of ringing gold, the sword and shield soldiers on the battlefield all looked happy.
Turn around and run, without any hesitation at all.
Even a very pair of warriors directly lost the shield and steel knife in their hands in order to be able to run faster.
And Mulan, seeing this scene, smiled disdainfully.
The fighters were ordered to continue firing their guns.
She's going to do it once and for all.
Mulan wants to let the enemy know that they can't get through here.
If you want to storm the past, you have to pay a heavy price.
Even, Mulan is ready to die here.
All 60,000 soldiers with three battalions died here.
Mulan is confident that she will exchange the lives of 60,000 people for the lives of 300,000 elite Persians.
It's an absolute bargain.
At that time, even if the remaining Persian army went to the city of Anka, it would definitely not be higher than 100,000 men.
This person will no longer have any pressure on the Dayan army.
Soon, after leaving thousands of corpses again.
The remaining more than 20,000 sword and shield soldiers finally withdrew to Gongsun Li's side.
It's just that everyone's face is full of fear and palpitations.
They were really scared.
They have experienced a lot of bloody battles on the battlefield.
However, this is the first time they have experienced this kind of strange battle.
The fighters sat on the ground, panting.
Many of the fighters were directly frightened, and their legs were like noodles.
"Oh my God, it's so terrible, I didn't even see the enemy, I just saw countless rolling wood thunder stones, smashing my brothers to death, how can this battle be fought?"
"Yes, so am I, I saw that the muzzles of those black holes were aimed at me, just now I was less than ten meters away from General Cao Zheng, if I were closer to General Cao Zheng, maybe I would be dead now."
"This Luoxiakou is too hateful, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if we have 400,000 troops together, we may not be able to defeat it."
“……”
The warriors were talking, gasping for air.
And Gongsun Li's face was also a little gloomy.
In fact, she was anxious too.
She knew that if she hid here for an extra hour and delayed, Gongsun Kang and the thousands of troops in the city might be in a little more danger.
She wants to save people.
She can not care about the life and death of thousands of soldiers, but Gongsun Kang's life, she must find a way to save it.
Because Gongsun Kang is also a royal family.
Once Gongsun Kang died, the face of their Persian royal family was lost.
That's it.
On the first day, Gongsun Li ordered the army to attack.
The next day, the army was still ordered to attack.
The same is true on the third, fourth, and fifth days.
Soon, ten days passed.
Gongsun Li's three battalions did not suffer much damage.
In fact, in the past few days, the Persian army has broken through the defense line of the three battalions several times, but they have all been successfully beaten back by the three battalions.
When the Persian army found that it was possible to attack from the slopes on both sides.
Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked in unison on both sides.
The 3,000 battalions and the 5th battalion suffered considerable losses, but they still defeated the enemy.
In ten days of fighting, the Persian army lost 100,000 men.
And the three battalions also lost almost 20,000 people.
These are basically the fighters of the five battalions and the three thousand battalions.
That night, the moon stars were scarce.
Mulan ordered the army to retreat silently.
Their task was accomplished.
Soon, Gongsun Li received a report of Mulan's army retreating.
Gongsun Li sighed, she knew that it was too late.
Originally, Gongsun Li was going to quickly pass through Luoxiakou and capture Tang Tingbai alive while Tang Tingbai's foothold in Anka City was not stable.
But now, ten days have passed.
With the ability of the Great Yan army and Tang Tingbai.
Even if they get to Anka City now, if they plan to storm it, the odds are not good.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Li sighed.
……
And on the side of Anka City.
Tang Tingbai was also well prepared.
The remnants of the Persian army in the city have all been slaughtered.
100,000 Persian troops were captured alive, and the main general Gongsun Kang was also captured alive.
Now, even if reinforcements from Persia arrive, he is not afraid.
Besides, is it only Persia that has reinforcements?
In fact, Tang Tingbai had already ordered the First Army to leave Anka City and attack Bulu Province.
Now there are only 100,000 men of the Second Army in the city of Anka.
But in Tang Tingbai's opinion, it is enough.
Meanwhile.
Every day, the spies of the Jinyi Guard would send information about the three major battalions.
Early the next morning, the three battalions finally returned to Anka City.
Tang Tingbai took people and personally greeted him at the city gate.
Seeing that the soldiers of the three battalions had returned, Tang Tingbai was very excited.
At noon that day, the soldiers of the three battalions were entertained.
Just as Tang Tingbai was happily eating with the soldiers, Shen Quan, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty, the princess of Persia outside the city is leaving to see you." ”
