Chapter 3: Divine Soldiers from the Sky

That night, everything was as usual, the Tang Dynasty village was brightly lit, and the drums were like thunder, and Meng Xiao did not dare to come after suffering the lesson of the last defeat. Besides, after the new defeat, he had to retreat in the inner cave of the red stone, wanting to resist stubbornly.

He was very confident, because the Zhaikou was not the most difficult place in the red stone, and he shrank the defense line inward in this way, in fact, he hid in a more difficult place to attack, and he dragged the ox cyclamen to no choice but to carry out a strong attack, and the result was a big defeat, and he naturally took this method now. He knew that most of the Tang army were not native to Lingnan, they were not good at living in the mountains, they were not accustomed to water and soil, and the climate would slowly become hot, although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were excellent, they were likely to be defeated by themselves.

After these two battles, Meng Xiao had already put away his contempt for the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that this young envoy was so powerful, it is said that his own martial arts are strong, not to mention, the martial arts of this person named Sheva under him are ridiculously high, if it weren't for my own abnormal talent, I am afraid that I have been poisoned by this person, I really can't imagine that in the Tang Dynasty army, there are such skilled people in martial arts.

But the Tang Dynasty is now in the tent, but it is sending troops because he wants to implement a bold plan.

"Zhuanren, you lead the three senior brothers to enter from the path, and you must reach the west peak of Hengshan Mountain tonight!"

"Yes, General!" Awe-inspiring to obey orders.

Tang Chao immediately said: "General Sheva, please lead your army to attack Hongshi head-on, first harassment by a small force, and wait for the order of the general attack!" ”

"Yes, General!" Sheva also obeyed.

Although the Tang Dynasty called him his father-in-law, he maintained the majesty of the Tang Dynasty very much in the army, after all, he was also a person who was used to being a general before, so he naturally knew the majesty of military orders.

Tang Chao was very satisfied: "I took Ban Lin and Xin Baijiang to march from the Hengshan Valley, and also arrived at the west side of Hongshi tonight, when our army put up a trumpet cannon, and agreed to attack together!" ”

The Tang Dynasty's strategy was worthless, that is, it took the risk of attacking, choosing to attack from three sides at such a time, and attacking with all its might when the enemy's new defeat was somewhat shaken. He had already traveled all over the country during this time, checked the situation, and knew that in such a situation, if he did not fight a decisive battle, he was afraid that he would still be in danger of defeat if he waited for the Ministry of Iron Information to come to support. The Tang Dynasty is no longer the reckless man of the past, knowing that since Meng Xiao has been able to occupy Liuzhou and Hongshi Cave for so long, he must have extraordinary ability, and it will be very difficult for him to gather reinforcements and eradicate them again. Moreover, there is a high mountain called Hengshan on the top of the Red Stone Cave, although the mountain is steep, but fortunately Meng Xiao did not send people to defend, he never imagined that the Tang army dared to fall into a desperate situation and attack from the inside out, so the Tang Dynasty himself and Zhuan Ren each led a thousand vanguard soldiers to break into the enemy's interior, and attacked condescendingly.

He knew that even if the soldiers in the cave held on desperately, it would be difficult to resist himself and the two thousand elite soldiers.

Although these two battles were only small victories, they enabled the Tang Dynasty to find out the fighting qualities of the enemy's soldiers and know that only in this way could there be a possibility of a breakthrough, so as to avoid the war falling into a protracted war.

But this is risky after all, if the enemy knows in advance that you will choose to attack Hengshan, send people to prepare matches and other objects at the entrance of the red stone cave or simply cover it with iron nails, and the Tang army that enters the mouth will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy.

At the entrance of the steep redstone cave, it is bound to be a life-and-death battle!

But the Tang Dynasty seems to have run out of options!

Fighting depends on a kind of courage, and there are incomparably elite soldiers under him, which also adds a lot of courage to him.

At midnight that night, the Tang Dynasty gave an order, and three thousand vanguard soldiers, led by the three main generals, quietly began to act!

Sheva's actions were blatant, the torches burned fiercely, and the nearly 6,000 sergeants behind him formed a long dragon, illuminating the whole world as if it were day!

The drums of war were struck by Sheva himself, and they shook the mountains and rivers with a roar, startling the apes and mandrills that were crying at night, and they were filled with the sound of this powerful battlefield.

Meng Xiao had a sneering look in his eyes, the Tang Dynasty was really, he wanted to choose a night battle at such a time, the time and place were favorable, and he wanted to rely on the elite soldiers in his hands to fight the danger, isn't it a fool to say what a dream is?

But he had already felt the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army, and now that he saw the Tang Dynasty pouring out, he didn't dare to take it lightly at all, so he first ordered the archers to shoot arrows, and first shot the first round of Sheva's attack-

Sheva had been prepared for a long time, and the first soldiers were all holding round shields in their hands, prostrate themselves on the ground, dodging the attack of arrows.

Sheva's attack did not stop, wave after wave, the soldiers behind him hugged him like a long dragon, Meng Xiao was surprised, lifted the boulder with his own hands, and smashed two ladders, this is the attack of Sheva!

Sheva also personally intervened several times and saved several soldiers who were on the verge of despair!

Meng Xiao saw Shewa leaping like the wind in the firelight, flying up and down like a big bird on the cliff of dozens of meters, not afraid of his own arrows like rain, and his heart was shocked, there are such heroes and heroes in the world, and they are indeed my natural enemies!

In this case, where did he have his hands free to smash stones, because Sheva quickly found him, and with Sheva's martial arts, he wanted to fight Sheva while throwing stones, which was a dead end, so he had no choice but to face the enemy with his whole body.

Fortunately, there seemed to be no other masters in the Tang army except Sheva. His soldiers took the opportunity to throw stones, bow and arrows, and always compressed the Tang Dynasty army at the entrance of the red stone cave, unable to move forward!

A few Tang troops were too careless and too close, and they were killed by the soldiers on the wall with rolling stones!

After all, such a natural danger is not only the level of martial arts that can solve the problem!

Sheva calculated the time, and the Tang Dynasty and others had already arrived at Hengshan, so a harrier turned over and threw himself down the mountain. A master like him, if he wants to go on his own without a fight, who in the whole world can resist it?

Meng Xiao just gasped for breath, and screamed in his heart!

Because he immediately saw the dazzling fire on the top of the stockade, he knew that he had fallen for the Tang Dynasty's plan to attack the west.

, I can't imagine that the Tang Dynasty is so cunning, I am wondering, why only Sheva alone came up to fight with me, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty has led the army to attack Hengshan and attack from the mountain condescendingly!

Oops, all the baggage, women and children are hidden on the peak, I thought that there was no need to be afraid of the enemy's attack step by step, even if the enemy attacked further, it would be useless after all, after all, the terrain here is that the more you retreat, the more difficult and dangerous it is, as long as the enemy can't attack in one go, although the Tang Dynasty sergeants are fine, they will still be defeated.

He knew that a situation like the one he was in now, and it would be very beneficial to him after a long war.

He was a powerful man, and naturally he thought that the enemy might risk attacking from the top of the mountain, but what made him angry was why the enemy's large army could climb up at such a time!

But now it's too late to regret -

When Tang Dynasty brought his soldiers to Hengshan, they saw that it was dark all around, and the enemy seemed to be defenseless!

After all, in such a dangerous and dangerous place, how can the enemy come up, and even if they do, they will come down from a place of a hundred and ten zhang high one by one, and a little distraction will be the end of death as powder.

However, the Tang Dynasty had already ordered his sergeants to tear the quilts into strips, tie them together, and make dozens of large ropes, which were extremely strong, and the soldiers all slipped down the hillside one by one, and there was no sound at all!

He still gave this order to Zhuan Ren, he knew that if the enemy peeped at the side, and when the sergeant fell halfway down, he suddenly launched a sneak attack, it would be the danger of the whole army being destroyed!

This in itself is a risky move, and what is required is a surprise effect, and once exposed, it is no different from suicide.

That's why the Tang Dynasty called two thousand vanguard soldiers to follow him to do this, and suddenly assembled when he was leaving!

Such a build-up immediately had the effect of the previous training, no one objected, everything was obeyed! This also makes it difficult for the enemy to spread the news even if there are traitors in the army, which is a military secret.

Once the secrets are leaked, no matter how good the strategy is, it will not be effective.

The Tang Dynasty knew that it was a very risky strategy to attack the east and west, and if it was not implemented well, it would be a situation of door-to-door death!

But the current situation forced him to take a risk.

What a kill!

The soldiers at the top of the village are all old and weak, and the old and weak women and children were frightened when they saw the Tang Dynasty and the wolf-like army.

The Tang Dynasty immediately sounded the trumpet, and when Shewa heard it, he knew that the Tang Dynasty had succeeded, and mobilized his heavy troops to attack the walled gate, and attacked inside and outside.

In this way, Meng Xiao's army was in turmoil, and the soldiers were not as elite as the Tang army, which made the Tang Dynasty army defeat Meng Xiao's army in a devastating manner!

Meng Xiao saw that the Tang Dynasty was about to be killed from the cave, sighed, and led his five hundred soldiers to escape with all their lives.

Sheva knew that if Meng Xiao was forcibly left, there would be many casualties, and he was worried that the Tang Dynasty was not familiar with the situation in the cave and was afraid that he would be counted by the soldiers, so he let go of the attack.

In this battle, the soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 3,000 people died, and the rest all surrendered, and countless gold and silver were cleaned up in the cave, all of which were transported back to the tent and rewarded for meritorious deeds.

In this battle, in addition to climbing Hengshan at night and killing more than 100 people, the casualties were less than 2,000, which can be described as a complete victory!
