Chapter 271: The Battle of Loulan (Final)
"General, what can I do, the strongest reinforcements have actually defected." Le Yang's heart began to panic, and now they are really a bit desperate.
Qin Shu returned to the big tent, he had calmed down at this moment, and then said: "Gather all the troops, although Meng Yi was defeated, but he still brought more than 50,000 people, and it is not difficult for the Eastern Emperor to recover from his injuries, so that Meng Zhi and Meng Tian also return to Loulan, and Tianji does not have to defend it." "The current situation, even if Tianji wins, it is useless, it is better to concentrate on one point, and there is still a glimmer of life.
At the Jade Gate Pass, Sun Feng's mouth was about to reach the root of his ears, and now Da Zhou has almost won a comprehensive victory, and even the half-demon army has been taken care of by the prince.
"Chonglou has an order, the soldiers of the four states will take control of the captured city, and Loulan is ours."
"Yes" Chonglou's moans trembled a little, for the first time in so many years, he was sure to completely break through Loulan and avenge his good brothers.
In the fourth year of Emperor Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the spring, Sun Feng, the general of Yumen Pass, led an army of 200,000 and dozens of cannons to march towards Loulan Pass of Qin.
Chonglou and Ma Zhong, who were traveling with them, wore white flags and white armor to commemorate the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and comrades who died four years ago.
"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar, the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken." Sun Feng looked at Loulan Guan in front of him, couldn't help but burst into tears, and couldn't help reciting this poem repeatedly.
"The Qin army on the city tower listens, His Majesty Emperor Wen is merciful, all soldiers who surrender on their own initiative can avoid death, and those who resist stubbornly have only one way to die." Chonglou's loud voice played a role at this moment.
In the face of the menacing Great Zhou army, Qin beheading, Meng Zhi and other generals of the Qin army even had a lot of luck in this battle.
But as the pride of military generals, they will never surrender.
"General Sun, you and I are both military generals, you should know the pride of military generals, and you would rather die on the battlefield than surrender."
"Fight to the death, fight to the death." Like the soldiers of Yumen Pass, the Qin army of Loulan also responded one after another, and absolutely did not give up, which was their pride.
Seeing this, Sun Feng began to arrange his troops. Qin Jun's ears sounded the sound of whining horns, the neighing of horses, the striking of golden blades, the sound of hurried footsteps, and the increasingly dense drum beat, every syllable was knocked down on people's hearts, and the heartbeat of the people was also fast.
If you want to break through Loulan, any fancy method will not work, plus the other party also has famous generals such as Qin Shu, Meng Zhi, and Donghuang.
The cannons of the Zhou army were also in place, aiming at Loulan City and began to shell non-stop, but they were all blocked by the secret treasure [Zhentian Ring] brought by the Eastern Emperor.
Moreover, Loulan also has a large number of [Exterminating Shooting Crossbows], if they are hit head-on by the [Exterminating God Crossbow], even the Great Grandmaster will be injured.
Of course, Sun Feng didn't think that he would be able to break through Great Qin's defenses so easily, but the secret treasure was also driven by people, as long as their true qi was consumed, it would be self-defeating.
"Keep firing and shoot all the shells." In Loulan Pass, Qin Shu and the others were discussing countermeasures, and they also knew that once the energy of the secret treasure was exhausted, it would be dangerous.
"Now there is not much combat power that can be called upon in the country, Dongyi and Dog Rong are also difficult to protect themselves, and their pressure is not small, and they can't be counted on to come to reinforce." There was a sad atmosphere in the big tent.
Meng Zhi and his subordinates counted it and said: "Now the Golden Fire Cavalry still has 70,000 troops, and without the containment of the ghost cavalry, I will be sure to win against any other army in the Great Zhou." ”
"There are about 400,000 other armies in total, if it is not worth it, it can hold at least half a year, and I still don't believe that his grain and grass can support them to fight a war of attrition." After the defeat of Tianquan, Meng Yi held back a fire in his heart.
However, his words woke everyone up, as long as the next step is made according to the existing strength and situation, and the layout is appropriate, there is still a glimmer of life.
Xijing, Great Qin Palace, Emperor Jing Qin Wuyang frowned: "What's going on with the Half-Demon Legion, as well as Xianyang and Jiannan Dao, how have they all failed." ”
"Father and Emperor are angry, Erchen really didn't expect that Luo Keshan was not Wendy's opponent, and Zhao Zili actually unlocked Dinisha's [Heavenly Chain], which led to the complete failure of Jiannan Dao's arrangement." Qin Feng was annoyed in his heart, the half-demon army was his last hole card, he thought that he could repel the Zhou army in the border battle, but he didn't expect that he would be intercepted and killed before he reached the border, and he also defected collectively.
"It's useless to talk so much now, now the border occupation is very unfavorable to Daqin, do you have any other way." The battle situation at the border pass had already reached the ears of Emperor Jing, and he couldn't imagine that the impregnable border line would be defeated by the Great Zhou so quickly.
"Father, the son of the minister asked for the order to personally go to the border to preside over the war, although the situation is unfavorable, but the border army still has more than half of the troops, the consumption of the Great Zhou labor division must be not small, as long as the son can withstand the hope of repelling the Great Zhou." Qin Feng also had no other way, and the hole cards in his hand were almost played.
"There you go." Emperor Jing waved his hand helplessly, turned around and came to the temple.
"The descendants of Qin Wuyang visited the previous emperors, and now the country is in danger, once the city of Loulan is broken, the descendants have no choice but to sacrifice the forbidden ancestral weapon to protect the great Qin for ten thousand years." Loulan, after several days and nights of non-stop bombing, [Zhentianhuan] finally couldn't hold on, and after a crisp sound, it exploded into powder.
And the Zhou army's shells were also exhausted, and the men and horses of the two sides were about to enter the siege hand-to-hand combat with real swords and guns.
In Loulan City, the smoke rising from the raging war filled the entire city. The 'Qin' flag that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant.
Above the city tower, there were dead bodies lying on the ground, bleeding endlessly, but no one came forward to clean up, and the thick smell of blood and sweat was mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant.
The war, but it continues. The loud screams and screams are touching. The sturdy figures of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Army under the city rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth.
This kind of shouting, infecting each other, motivating each other, and dissipating many inexplicable fears in my heart. Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, only to see the soldiers falling to the ground with arrows in a steady stream.
As soon as the Great Zhou Zhou soldiers boarded the city wall, they were immediately greeted by several Qin soldiers with swords, and they were outnumbered. The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the tower.
Both the Zhou and Qin armies suffered heavy losses, hundreds of thousands of people buried their bones in Loulan, and at night the two sides ceased fighting each other and began to bury the bodies of dead soldiers.
Inside and outside the city, there were many separate heads, and the crying that people had forgotten about was numb, and even Qin Feng, who was the crown prince, was numb.
Including Meng Zhi, all the Qin troops were wounded, and Da Zhou was not much better. The two sides are fighting for their last breath, and even the Grand Master cannot guarantee safety on this battlefield.
Suddenly, a group of cavalry appeared behind Loulan Pass, and the speed was extremely fast and waving the banner of the Qin army.
"Your Highness, look, it's our reinforcements." Qin was overjoyed, I don't know where the reinforcements came from, but they came in time, and at this time, any living force could affect the outcome of the war.
"That is, the Great Qin Forbidden Army, my father actually sent the Forbidden Army." Qin Feng recognized their armor.
Everyone was stunned, this was the last strength of Great Qin, and it seemed that His Majesty had done his best. But as long as the Great Zhou is repulsed, it will be worth it.
The [Forbidden Army] was getting closer and closer, and Qin Shu and the others just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, preparing to open the city gate to welcome reinforcements. Suddenly, Qin Feng shouted: "Something is wrong, they are not forbidden troops, they are fake attacks and quick attacks." But it was too late, the soldiers defending the city did not hear his order, and actually opened the city gate, and in an instant, the Loulan city gate was captured.
The person who came was Shi Heng, the commander of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, who was ordered to pass through the nearest [Tianxuan] City, disguised as the Great Qin Forbidden Army, and tricked the Loulan defenders into opening the city gate.
Qin Feng's eyes darkened: "Emperor Da Zhou, you are more decisive, Da Qin is not unjustly lost." With Shi Heng's cooperation, Da Zhou finally broke through Loulan City.
In the spring of the fourth year of Emperor Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with the cooperation of Shi Heng, the commander of the forbidden army, Sun Feng paid huge casualties to capture Loulan, the crown prince Qin Feng was martyred, and the general Meng Zhi fled back to Xijing with 50,000 golden fire cavalry, and the rest were either killed or captured.
The border of Daqin is now in no danger to defend.
