Chapter 169: Victory in One Battle
In the Chinese army camp of the Tianyi Kingdom, Tong Wanshan was discussing the strategy after breaking through the First Legion with the middle-aged man, when suddenly an earth-shattering loud noise interrupted their conversation.
"What's going on?" both of them were stunned, looked at each other, and frowned.
"Someone!" the middle-aged man shouted, and the soldiers outside the tent ran in, kneeling on one knee and waiting for instructions.
"Quickly check, the source of that loud noise just now!" the middle-aged man commanded.
The pro-soldier was ordered to withdraw, and returned after a while, and reported: "The loud noise just now came from the direction of the First Army, and the specific reason is unknown for the time being.
"Let's go down!" The middle-aged man nodded, waved away his own soldiers, turned his head to Tong Wanshan and said, "Elder, this loud noise is so strange, louder than thunder, could it be that Tang Chuxue has any other arrangements?"
"I don't know what to do!" Tong Wanshan shook his head, feeling a burst of heart palpitations, and the sudden loud noise brought him a strong uneasiness.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said slowly, "No matter what arrangements they have, they won't be able to block the attack of the Fifth Heavy Armor Knights...... Their only recourse is to use the terrain of that canyon, but the Commander will definitely find out beforehand, and even if they have an ambush, they will be uprooted!"
"Huh~" Tong Wanshan exhaled a long breath and nodded: "What I said is that the Fifth Heavy Armor Knights have experienced a hundred battles, whether it is an ambush or a mechanism, they can't hide it from him...... It's me who was a little too careful!"
Speaking of this, Tong Wanshan couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile, and sighed secretly: "The overall situation has been decided, the First Army will definitely be defeated, there is no need to be suspicious......
"Click!" Tong Wanshan's thought had not yet fallen, and suddenly there was another loud noise outside, which scared him into a spirit.
However, he immediately reacted and couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly: "This is thunder." It's supposed to be raining!"
"Wow~" As he spoke, there was already the sound of water outside.
The middle-aged man got up and walked to the door of the big tent, lifted the curtain and glanced out, then turned around and said, "Elder Tong, it's pouring rain outside, and there are almost no people on the other side!"
"Hmm!" Tong Wanshan nodded and said, "The First Legion is lucky, this heavy rain can give them a little respite. Otherwise, we will be able to break through their first fortress this afternoon!"
"Yes!" the middle-aged man replied and ordered loudly: "Send someone to inform the soldiers in front, suspend the attack, and withdraw and rest!"
After the soldier was ordered to leave. After a short time, he hurried back again, and quickly reported with a panicked face: "The commander of the first army personally led the troops to kill." Our attacking team was caught off guard. Heavy losses!"
"What?" Tong Wanshan and the middle-aged man exclaimed at the same time, took the case, and said loudly: "Does Tang Chuxue really want to work hard, he doesn't even want the rear station, he actually led the troops in person and braved the heavy rain to kill!"
That's when it happened. Another soldier hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The First Army has dispatched several large armies, estimated to be at least tens of thousands! Our attacking team is too scattered to be stopped...... Right now. They're coming towards the big tent of the Chinese army!"
"How could this be, Tang Chuxue brought out tens of thousands of people! Could it be that she really didn't divide her troops to prevent our detour...... Or does she want to give up the huge station?" said the middle-aged man in surprise.
"Your Majesty, just now it was just a preliminary estimate, the team of the First Legion is still rushing out of the fortress, and now we have no way of knowing how many soldiers there are, this rain is too big to see clearly, we can only judge by sound. The subordinate added.
"Immediately integrate all the teams into a large group and entangle them for me!" the middle-aged man commanded, and waited until the pro-soldiers came out, and a cruel smile hooked up on the corner of his mouth.
"Did Tang Chuxue think that the unexpected counterattack would work? Hmph! Although the combat strength of the First Legion is high, there are many of us, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the defeat in a head-on fight! As long as the Fifth Heavy Armor Knights break through her station, she will not be restrained by the enemy on her back!"
"That's right!" Tong Wanshan nodded and sneered: "The harder she works, the faster she will die......!
At this moment, a soldier ran into the tent again in a panic, knelt on one knee, and said quickly: "The soldiers of the First Legion shouted, the Heavy Knights have been wiped out!"
"What?" Tong Wanshan and the middle-aged man were startled at the same time.
But then, Tong Wanshan sneered disdainfully: "This is absolutely impossible!" The Heavy Armor Knights are the absolute trump card of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, and they have almost never been defeated for many years since they were established, let alone their entire army. Moreover, it has only been a long time, and it is simply a fool's dream to exterminate an ace army in such a short period of time, even if the first army of more than 100,000 people is on the same page, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it.
"Elder, something is wrong, how did Tang Chuxue know that it was the Heavy Armored Knights who had gone in a roundabout way! If they had already met, how could she withdraw and rush out with so many soldiers!" Although the middle-aged man also didn't believe it, he frowned and said a question.
"Could it be that loud noise just now......" A trace of fear flashed in Tong Wanshan's eyes, and the uneasiness that had just been suppressed came out again, even stronger than just now.
"Check, check it out for me right away! Pass through the circuitous route!" Tong Wanshan ordered loudly. At this time, he no longer had the ease he had before. The current situation is too weird, and the uneasiness in his heart makes him even more worried, the Heavy Armored Knights are all wiped out, and he doesn't believe it if he is killed, but if he is defeated, it also means that Ji Lu will be completely defeated, and with the army of the Tianyi Kingdom, he will not be able to capture the first legion.
The soldier received the order and quickly ran out of the tent. The middle-aged people also began to arrange their troops and gather troops to resist Tang Chuxue's attack.
The heavy rain was pouring down, and the sound of shouting and killing could already be faintly heard, but the offensive and defensive situation of the entire battlefield had completely changed.
Tong Wanshan and the middle-aged man waited anxiously for news, and the big tent was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
A month has passed, Tong Wanshan and the middle-aged people feel like years, and they have never felt that time has passed so slowly.
Finally, the soldier who had inquired about the news ran back, kneeling on the ground, gasping for air. His cheeks, covered with rain, were pale and visibly frightened, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"How is it?" Tong Wanshan didn't have the heart to look at the soldier's expression at all, and asked quickly.
"All...... It's all over!" The soldier's body trembled a little, and he said in a trembling voice: "The Fifth Heavy Armor Knights have all perished, and they all died in that canyon. There is no life left!"
"What?" Tong Wanshan's pupils instantly shrank a little, grabbed the soldier's neck, picked him up, and said loudly: "You can see clearly, if you lie about the military situation, ......"
"Elder, my subordinates can see it clearly! That scene is so miserable, not even people and horses, there is no one who ......lives," the soldier swallowed with difficulty, and the image appeared again in his mind, and the fear in his eyes became even more obvious.
Tong Wanshan seemed to be drained of all his strength for a moment. As soon as the hand was released, the soldier fell to the ground, and then he shook his body, sat down on the chair with his buttocks, and shook his head again and again as if demented: "It's over." It's all over ......."
The Fifth Armored Knights were brought in by him, but now they have been wiped out. This responsibility is too great. Even the Great Elder can't afford it, let alone him. He could imagine what it would be like after the news was transmitted back to Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect. If he doesn't get it, he'll be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
The middle-aged man was also stupid, and even a little overwhelmed, and said again and again: "How can this be, how can this be ......"
The Fifth Knights of Heavy Armor were destroyed in the Great War of his Celestial Wing Kingdom. He is also to blame. If this battle is won, it is better to say that my Tianyi Kingdom has also paid a heavy price! But in the current situation, there is no hope of winning.
Originally, he still wanted to pass this battle and bring the kingdom to a new level. Get more resources. But who knew that it was a loss to his wife and a soldier, the loss was not small, and he had to bear the responsibility, and in the future, Xuanyuan Tianzong would definitely reduce the distribution share of resources!
After a long time, the two came back to their senses, although they knew that the matter would not be fake, but they couldn't hide their incredulous expressions.
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man asked, "Elder, what now?"
"Withdraw! Withdraw immediately! Can't continue to lose!" Tong Wanshan forcibly controlled himself, not thinking about his future results, and now he must deal with the follow-up. The Fifth Heavy Armor Knights were destroyed, and the First Legion was gaining momentum and taking the initiative to attack! Even if the overall strength of the Tianyi Kingdom was higher than that of the other party, there was no possibility of breaking through the other party, and their plan was bankrupt, so it can be said that this battle was completely lost, and now if he does a good job of dealing with the aftermath, there may still be a glimmer of life.
"Okay! I will leave people to resist Tang Chuxue, and then retreat immediately. "I can't capture the First Army, and the middle-aged man doesn't want to continue to lose.
"Hmm!" Tong Wanshan nodded and said, "Let's act separately, you quickly withdraw, and then defend the city to the death...... I need to get the word out quickly, and I can't let the other seven kingdoms start a campaign!"
After the middle-aged man left the city, Tong Wanshan immediately wrote a letter and sent them out one by one.
Then, he got out of the camp tent of the Chinese army, went straight to the mountains on the right, and galloped down the circuitous route. Although he was sure that the Fifth Heavy Armor Knights would be destroyed, he was really unwilling not to take a look. In addition, he couldn't figure out what means the other party had used to annihilate all the ace legions of the powerful countries in a short period of time.
Not long after, Tong Wanshan stood at the mouth of the canyon, looking at the miserable scene in front of him, and the flat ground that was ploughed on both sides of the hillside, and couldn't help but feel a deep fear in his heart, and muttered, "Is it caused by that loud noise...... What kind of strength is this......"
The heavy rain stopped, and the Tianyi Kingdom lost its fighting spirit, and the army was defeated, leaving behind the lives of a large number of soldiers, and retreated in embarrassment. A long-planned battle, from the beginning to the end, took less than a day in total.
Tang Chuxue returned to the barracks, wrote a few letters in a row and sent them out, and then went straight to the camp tent behind. She wanted to thank Jiang Xingchen well, if it wasn't for the earth-shattering explosion that turned the tide of the battle, the First Army would have lost this battle.
However, when she came to Jiang Xingchen's tent and was about to lift the curtain to enter, she heard the old man's voice come out: "Boy, I beg you, just tell me...... What did Wu Song do to Pan Jinlian?" (To be continued......)
