The entire ground was shaking as fifty mortars and five cannons continued to blast out shells.
In just the blink of an eye, the entire building was reduced to rubble by artillery fire.
The entire Yunnan Army suffered countless casualties in an instant, and was completely defeated. Many people even died in confusion, having no idea where the shells came from and who the enemy was.
"Fight back, fight back!"
Under the cover of his adjutant, Ma Zhenbang survived by temporarily hiding behind a big rock. He quickly shouted for counterattack and wanted to organize resistance.
But it's no use.
"No, Commander, the shells were fired from the mountain. The enemy is on the mountain, and we can't hit them at all."
The adjutant next to him yelled with despair. At this moment, he had determined the direction of the cannonball, which was on the hillside behind Zanguan. However, the gap between there and Zanguan was hundreds of meters, not to mention the enemy.
Under such a dense bombardment, they had no room to counterattack. Even if they could organize a counterattack, with such a huge difference in altitude, it would be impossible for their guns to hit the enemy.
After listening to the adjutant's words, Ma Zhenbang was silent for a moment. Looking at the surrounding situation, his heart suddenly started to bleed. But just after two rounds of artillery shells were bombed, the troops under his command were killed and injured in countless numbers. These are all his property.
If these armies are gone, how can Ma Zhenbang rely on him to conquer the world? In an instant, he will be reduced from a warlord to a bereaved dog.
The attack was so sudden that they were completely unprepared and did not notice the enemy's arrival. Moreover, the army was densely stationed. This round of artillery fire hit them right in the heart.
I was really teasing Luo Laowai last night, but I didn't expect that it would be my turn today. It was really a good reincarnation.
"Retreat! Retreat!..."
But after all, he is also a warlord with long experience in war, and he is not comparable to some common idiot warlords. Even if he was caught off guard, Ma Zhenbang did not completely lose his bearings. He quickly made adjustments and orders, knowing that at this time he must
We have retreated, otherwise if we continue to stay here we will be a living target for the enemy.
"Retreat!" "Retreat!"
Under Ma Zhenbang's order, the defeated Yunnan Army began to retreat. At this time, nearly half of the entire Yunnan Army's troops and horses had been lost. The previous rounds of artillery fire directly bombarded the Yunnan Army's base camp, killing countless people on the spot.
"Keep letting me go. Don't let anyone escape."
When Zhang Shaowu saw the Yunnan Army starting to flee, he immediately walked over and gave the command. The artillery shells were fired one after another at the places where the Yunnan Army had a large number of people.
"what happened?!"
The captured Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others were also shocked. They looked at the location of the building where explosions continued in front of them and the Yunnan Army that was defeated with countless casualties in the blink of an eye. The nearest place where the shells fell was only a hundred meters away from them.
, I couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, unable to fully understand what was going on.
"Maybe he is Ma Zhenbang's enemy."
The partridge whistle said, and at this time, he could only guess that he might be Ma Zhenbang's enemy. Then he saw the opportunity and broke free from the restraints on his body. He jumped up and killed the soldier guarding them in front of him with one move.
The moment the Partridge Post broke free, Lao Yangren, Hong Gu, Kunlun and others also broke free one after another and took action to kill the soldiers guarding them one by one.
As early as before, their group had begun to secretly untie the ropes and plan a counterattack, but they were guarded tightly by Ma Zhenbang's men and had no chance. But now the sudden artillery fire caused the Yunnan army to be in chaos, but it suddenly brought them chaos.
Here comes the chance to fight back.
Taking advantage of the sudden artillery fire, the attention of the soldiers guarding them was attracted. Partridge Whistle, the old foreigner and others were all experts in martial arts, among which Partridge Whistle was even more perfect. This sudden explosion
It’s difficult to get started.
In an instant, the dozen or so soldiers guarding them were all shot dead in the blink of an eye, and even if they had guns, they had no time to fire.
At this time, the entire Yunnan Army was in chaos and began to flee. Not many people were willing to take care of Chen Yulou and his group, so after killing the dozen or so soldiers guarding them at the beginning, the group was successfully rescued.
and the other people in Xiling.
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Shaozong had a panoramic view of everything. When he saw Chen Yulou, Partridge Post and others escaping, he immediately ignored them and looked in the direction of the Yunnan Army. At this time, the Yunnan Army had already escaped after paying nearly half of the casualties.
When we arrived at the outskirts of Zanguan, we were about to escape from the range of their artillery shells.
"Commander, the Yunnan Army is about to rush out of range, and Ma Zhenbang seems not to be dead yet."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Shaowu reported to Zhang Shaozong, and at the same time noticed that the officer at the front of the Yunnan army who was escaping was surrounded and protected, which was obviously Ma Zhenbang.
"The artillery regiment has worked hard, and now it will be handed over to the Second Army."
Zhang Shaozong's expression did not change when he heard this and he smiled.
Zhang Jinzhong, who was beside him, also smiled and said.
"Don't worry, Commander, I guarantee that none of these Yunnan troops will be able to escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Zhenbang led the remaining Yunnan army and just rushed out of the range of the artillery shells. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the sound of heavy machine gun fire.
It turned out to be Zhang Jinzhong's Second Army. More than a thousand people had already set up an encirclement in front of the escape route of Ma Zhenbang and others outside Zanguan. Twenty heavy machine guns and more than a thousand rifles fired at the same time.
"Heaven will kill me!"
Ma Zhenbang, who had just rushed out of the range of the artillery shells and thought he had escaped, suddenly turned pale, screamed in despair, and then died under the bullets of the heavy machine gun.
Half an hour later, everything calmed down. Ma Zhenbang and most of the Yunnan troops were killed directly by the gunfire of this battle. In the end, more than 3,000 Yunnan troops survived.
Zhang Shaozong did not rush to kill them all. After Ma Zhenbang's death, he chose to stop and disarm and arrest other Yunnan troops.
Then Zhang Shaozong walked out with Ningshuang, Yuanbao, Zhang Jinzhong and Zhang Shaowu.
At this moment, the area around Changuan was already in a state of chaos and devastation, and the corpses of the Yunnan soldiers were scattered everywhere, making it look like a Shura field.
Ningshuang, who was following Zhang Shaozong, could not help but turn a little pale. Although she had seen many dead people and various zombies and ghosts, this was the first time for her to be on such a cruel battlefield.
I feel a little pale and uncomfortable.
"Don't watch it if you feel uncomfortable. But war is like this. There is no room for mercy. If you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you. Compassion does not lead to troops. This has nothing to do with right or wrong, only stance."
Seeing this, Zhang Shaozong stretched out his hand to hold Ningshuang's hand and said something.
"Um."
After hearing this, Ningshuang immediately nodded and stopped looking at the tragic situation around her.
"Let the brothers clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and dig holes for all the corpses."
Zhang Shaozong gave another order to Zhang Jinzhong and Zhang Shaowu, and then walked towards the Banshan and Xieling factions.
Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou stood at the front of the two factions. They looked at Zhang Shaozong who was walking towards him with Ningshuang and Yuanbao. Zhang Jinzhong, Zhang Shaowu and others around him could not help but call Commander Zhang Shaozong.
My heart was shocked and complicated. I never expected that Zhang Shaozong was actually the commander-in-chief of the party. I was confused and confused at the moment, and I didn't know what attitude I should adopt when facing Zhang Shaozong again.
"Brother Chen, Brother Partridge." Zhang Shaozong smiled calmly and offered his hands to the two of them: "I hid something before because of my sensitive identity. I hope you don't mind."
Seeing Zhang Shaozong's appearance and tone, it was clear that there was not much alienation due to the change in status. Chen Yulou also felt relieved and then opened his mouth and laughed.
"Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? If it weren't for Brother Zhang, if we were to move the mountain this time, the two factions of Xiling would probably be trapped here. For such a kindness, it's too late for us to thank you. Why would you mind? As for what Brother Zhang concealed, after all, Brother Zhang's identity before
He is a bit sensitive, and if it were Chen, he would definitely be like Brother Zhang."
Seeing that Zhang Shaozong's attitude had not changed much from before, Chen Yulou slowly relaxed. As for Zhang Shaozong's concealment of the warlord commander of his side, although he was a little surprised and shocked, he did not feel dissatisfied. After all, if he thought about it carefully, Zhang Shaozong had previously
It is completely understandable to conceal his identity. After all, there was Luo Laowai in their team before, and Luo Laowai was a Xiangxi warlord. If Luo Laowai knew that Zhang Shaozong was also a warlord commander, how could he coexist peacefully with Zhang Shaozong?
.
After all, the king cannot see the king.
"It's just Brother Zhang's identity that really shocked us."
Finally, Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile bitterly, but these words also completely brought the atmosphere between the two parties closer.
Zhang Shaozong smiled when he heard this.
"The level of status only represents a person's achievements and has nothing to do with the person's own temperament. Brother Chen and Brother Partridge don't need to worry about it. I am friends with Brother Chen and Brother Partridge. What I value is that I have the same temperament as Brother Chen and Brother Partridge.
Friendship is not based on status. The right person is easy to get, but a good friend is hard to find. In Shaozong's view, even if you are a high-ranking official with a generous salary, it is not as important as a true friend."
"There is a saying that the most important thing in making friends is heart-to-heart. When making friends, I, Zhang Shaozong, always value heart-to-heart, rather than status, money, power. Anyway, no matter how high the other person's status, money, power, and wealth are, they are definitely not as high as mine."
Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others were quite moved when they heard Zhang Shaozong's previous words, but after hearing the last words, they were instantly moved.
