Chapter 405: Dead Man
Can become a surprise force for the task of breaking through the battlefield, this force must be extraordinary, if such a powerful surprise force really rushes into the battlefield, you can imagine how seriously Zhou Ping and his people will be impacted.
At this time, the only war drum battalion that learned the news had no messenger jade, and only relied on manpower to convey the news to Zhou Ping, except for the little soldier who was sent by the Shen army to deliver the message to Zhou Ping, the other soldiers of the war drum battalion all drove down the mountain and marched straight towards the raiding force of the beast clan.
At this time, the sun is high, the time has come to the afternoon, the most tragic war since the start of the war of the human race and the beast race has been fought for three full hours, the woodland is full of blood wreckage, the casualties of the troops on both sides are countless, Zhou Ping with his strong command ability in the frontal battlefield gradually took the lead, and the higher-level Xuan Realm battlefield is supported by Zhou Ping's soul attack at any time, the strong man of the Xuan Realm of the beast clan is already difficult to resist at this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before the fallen.
The first to open up the situation was Zhang Xiaoyue, who relied on his strong suppression ability in the Moon-Chasing Domain and Zhou Ping's soul attack cooperation. took the lead in killing his opponent, and with an unwilling roar, a wolf beast head fell from the sky, and the beast clan troops were suddenly in turmoil, and the few Xuan Realm powerhouses on the top floor saw Zhang Xiaoyue free his hand, and their hearts were all in shock.
Zhang Xiaoyue's ability is clear to them, originally he was able to use his powerful soul seed realm to cover the entire Xuan Realm, but now that he has solved his opponent, once he joins forces with others, it will be a slaughter for them, the powerhouses of the Xuan Realm of the beast clan!
What's more, now that the beast clan troops below are in turmoil, I am afraid that if they continue to fight, the defeat will become bigger and bigger, and at that time, not only will they be left here, but I am afraid that the entire beast clan army will also be destroyed!
The beast clan general who commanded the whole army looked more and more hideous at this time, and the arranged raid troops should have arrived at the frontal battlefield a long time ago, why hadn't they arrived at this time?
After a few hesitations, he finally chose to withdraw the army, Zhang Xiaoyue had already locked him with a gas machine, if he continued to fight, he would be the first to die, once he was defeated, and the beast troops below were completely gone, then Zhou Ping would effortlessly exterminate them!
With a melodious wolf howl, the whole army of the beast clan began to retreat to the rear, and now the beast troops have not been completely dispersed, as long as they sacrifice some troops, they can still retreat!
Seeing that the beast clan is about to retreat, Zhou Ping will not do it, you can fight this battle if you want, and withdraw if you want to, what do you think of Lao Tzu?
"Zhang Xiaoyue, immediately lead people to chase and kill!" Zhou Ping shouted in a deep voice, "After chasing thirty miles, turn back, don't go too deep!"
After Zhang Xiaoyue received the order, he immediately followed with the pursuit troops transferred by Zhou Ping, the beasts kept retreating, Zhang Xiaoyue followed behind them with the pursuit troops in his hands to kill, the Xuanjing powerhouses of the beast clans did not dare to fight with Zhang Xiaoyue at all, if they were entangled by Zhang Xiaoyue, the Terran powerhouses in the rear swarmed up, even they had only a dead end!
The war finally came to an end, and Zhou Ping was relieved, but when he was cleaning up the follow-up battlefield and counting the casualties of each unit, Zhang Hanzhong came to Zhou Ping with a man dressed in the armor of the war drum battalion.
When Zhou Ping saw this person, his eyes trembled, "Are you ...... War Drum Battalion?"
This person was the little soldier sent by the Shen army to deliver the message to Zhou Ping, this young soldier had traveled a long distance of twenty kilometers, and when he came to Zhou Ping's army, he had no strength to stand up.
Looking at this young soldier whose face was already pale, Zhou Ping asked Zhang Hanzhong to quickly send him some true yuan, and the young soldier saw this and forcibly raised his arm and put it on Zhou Ping's hand, Zhou Ping grabbed his hand, and his lips trembled slightly.
"There is an orc surprise attack on the right side of the troops, Lord Overseer, ...... as soon as possible Deploy...... Defend!"
"Right ......" Zhou Ping muttered in distraction, Huang Ren's face sank, he glanced at Zhou Ping, and then said, "I'll immediately take someone to the right to deploy defense!"
Zhou Ping also immediately sobered up when he heard this, and he said with a solemn face, "General Huang Ren led the troops to defend the rear, and General Hanjiu always observed the beast troops in front, if they returned, be sure to notify me as soon as possible!"
After receiving the order, the two generals did not drag the slightest bit of mud and water, and immediately passed on Zhou Ping's order, and when Zhou Ping turned around and looked at the young soldier again, he saw that he had fallen into Zhang Hanzhong's arms and was not breathing.
Chu Ci stepped forward and cautiously probed his snort, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he turned around and shook his head at Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes, this young soldier came from the left side of the army, there were all rocky cliffs, which were difficult for ordinary immortal cultivators to overcome, but this young man walked in front of Zhou Ping step by step with his willpower.
You must know that the war drum battalion on the foothills has been out of food for three days, and an ordinary person has to travel 20 miles long distance on the cliff without eating three grains of rice, and even Zhou Ping can't help but cry for it.
"The ...... in his hand What is it?" Zhou Ping asked in a hoarse voice, pointing to the booklet in the young soldier's hand.
Chu Ci took a deep breath, and it took a lot of effort to take the booklet from the young soldier's hand, and as soon as Zhou Ping opened it, the tears could no longer be stopped.
It was the roster of the War Drum Battalion, and the names of thousands of people were all written in this small booklet, and if anyone died in battle, the living robe would put a cross in his name with a red pen.
After a series of hard battles, the red pen used by the War Drum Battalion to record the roster has long been lost, and the red crosses are drawn with the blood of the soldiers.
Slowly, on the entire roster, everyone's names were marked with a red cross, thinking that this was the original Shen Jun decided to take the war drum battalion to give up survival, Zhou Ping trembled and turned the roster to the first page, as the battalion commander's name of Baili Chengfeng was ranked first, his name was longer than others, which was particularly eye-catching.
Chu Ci and Zhang Hanzhong were both red-eyed, and the raiding troops did not join the battlefield at the first time, which meant that they were stopped by someone, but in addition to their own troops around the entire foothills, only the remnants of the war drum battalion on the mountain remained, and only their remnants could find the beast raid troops and go to stop them......
Zhou Ping twisted his nose fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Zhang Xiaoyue to come back, and let Hanjiu watch the defeated and fleeing beast army!"
"All the rest, follow me to the right to intercept!"
The troops immediately reorganized the army again, Zhou Ping led the team to kill the road to the right of the foothills, Huang Ren bore the brunt, leading his own war hammer battalion to open the way in front as the vanguard army, Zhou Ping led the army to follow, now Zhou Ping has only one thought, how much can be saved!
Zhou Ping led a large army to run wildly, but when he came to a fork in the road, the forward troops led by Huang Ren stopped in the middle of the road, Zhou Ping's face changed, and he immediately crossed all the troops and came to Huang Ren's side.
I saw that Huang Ren, who had been a veteran of the battlefield for many years, was trembling at this time looking at the scene in front of him, and his eyes were about to split.
The corpses of the soldiers of the War Drum Battalion can be seen everywhere on the hillside, in the woodland, on the top of the branches, and on the side of the road.
This resistance battle can't be called a war at all, because it's completely a torture by the orcs against the war drum camp!
The soldiers of the war drum battalion did not have military rations for three days, and most of the strong men in the battalion, including the battalion commander Baili Chengfeng, died in the siege of the mountain, and even the soldiers who survived were almost all wounded.
But it takes time to kill, and the soldiers of the War Drum Battalion kicked with their feet, hit their heads with their heads, and bit with their teeth, and they dragged this beast raid force at this intersection!
The whole army in the rear bowed their heads solemnly, they are all soldiers, and it is their mission to fight with the army, even if they die in battle, no one will have the slightest complaint, but how many people can do it on the battlefield knowing that they will die and still not flinching? Knowing that they will never return, but they do not regret it at all, who can?
Zhou Ping walked forward step by step in the annotation of the whole army, he had seen too much life and death, and had experienced too much pain, but even so, in the face of this group of veterans who were going to die, Zhou Ping still felt like a baby in swaddling clothes, not knowing what the world was.
He saw the deputy battalion commander named Shen Jun, although his legs were bitten off by the beast clan, the sword in his hand was indeed pierced into the chest of a tiger beast, even if he died, he would contribute his last strength.
Under the foothills, there are loyal martyrs everywhere!
Zhou Ping stood in the crowd, just like when he and the War Drum Battalion guarded Cloud City together, he stood among them, standing between heaven and earth......
For a long time, the man, who had already attained the position of Overseer, slowly spat out a word.
"This is the soldier of my Tang Dynasty, and this is the backbone of my human race. ”
"If all the armies of our human race are like this, how dare the beast clan invade an inch of my territory, and dare to hurt my human race at all!"
The troops led by Zhou Ping behind him include the Yama army that came from the south, the main battle battalions such as the battle-hardened War Hammer Battalion, and the city guards whose combat power is the least valued, but at this moment, they all have only one name - soldiers!
Terran Army!
After killing all the soldiers of the War Drum Battalion, the raiding force saw that their main force was defeated and immediately returned, they were not fools, it was okay to fight a surprise attack with Zhou Ping with their little strength, and it was simply unrealistic to want to face Zhou Ping head-on.
The raiding troops marched flexibly, even Zhou Ping couldn't figure out their retreat route, even if he wanted to pursue, there was no path, not to mention that his soldiers had experienced a fierce battle after a long journey, it was time to rest, Zhou Ping had to be responsible for them, so the plan to pursue the beasts had to be abandoned.
In this battle, the beast clan suffered heavy losses, at least 10,000 beast corpses were left in the foothills, which can definitely be called a great injury to the vitality, and the number of Terran soldiers killed in the battle on Zhou Ping's side was not less than that of the beast clan, but most of these soldiers who died in the battle were city guards drawn from various cities, but the main force that rushed to the front suffered few casualties.
This is not that Zhou Ping let these city guards be cannon fodder, in fact, on the contrary, Zhou Ping deliberately put their troops in the rear because he knew that the combat strength of the city guards was not as strong as the main battalion, but even so, after the battlefield was completely unfolded, the city guards who had almost no frontal battlefield experience still could not avoid a large number of casualties.
This is also a matter of no way, there are no immortals in the war, an army can only become a strong army after experiencing a thousand tempers, all the main battle camps are like this, Zhou Ping believes that after this battle, those or down the city guard soldiers will undergo a huge transformation in body and mind, only after experiencing this transformation, they can be called real soldiers!
Zhou Ping buried all the soldiers who died in the war together, just digging the pit to bury the dead soldiers for most of the day, watching the corpses being thrown into the pit, Zhou Ping wanted to be sad, but he didn't know if it was the reason why he had been affected by the killing breath, and it became more and more difficult to look sideways at these killings.
He climbed the foothills, and under the search of him and several people around him, everyone finally found the cemetery of Baili Chengfeng.
It is said to be a cemetery, but in fact, it is just a grave bag, and in this cemetery are buried in addition to the hundred miles of wind, as well as those soldiers who died in the battle of the war drum camp and the siege of the mountain.
In fact, their luck is good, after all, they can still leave a whole corpse to be buried, if the corpse falls into the hands of the orcs, I am afraid they will have become the food of the orcs.
A month ago, Zhou Ping and Belle rode the wind and laughed and talked about the world, but in the blink of an eye, it was already a separation between heaven and man, Zhou Ping squinted at this tomb, and his heart was full of thoughts.
"Just bury him here. Zhang Hanzhong said softly, "This was the land he once guarded with his life, and it should be his wish to be buried here after death." ”
Zhou Ping nodded slowly, turned around and walked down the mountain without saying a word.
He can't stay, he doesn't dare to stay, he is now the overseer of the third war zone, the commander of the Linchuan battlefield, the dead can only be the dead in his eyes, no matter how sad he is in his heart, he must not stay, because there are more alive and still fighting people waiting for him!
The news of Zhou Ping's victory in the first battle instantly spread throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, and other war zones and Ten Thousand Beast Cities sent congratulatory messages to Zhou Ping, it is not okay for them to disagree with this, don't care about Zhou Ping's age, since the Terran Beast Clan started the war, who has fought such a victory except Zhou Ping?
Even Chu Li was smiling when he received the news that Zhou Ping had won, you must know that Li Si's order was to transfer Zhou Ping to the rear, but he was under great pressure to make Zhou Ping the commander of the Linchuan battlefield, if Zhou Ping was defeated, he would be responsible.
