He tried hard to think of ways to break the situation.
However, the Yunchui people on the opposite side seemed to be possessed by the God of War, killing them until they were retreating.
At this time, Dongtang received the order from the rear, although he didn't know why, but he still breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, he frowned deeply again.
The enemy is not afraid of death. It is difficult to attack forward, but relatively easy to retreat.
But fraudulent withdrawal?
Dongtang glanced at the order with unclear semantics.
What does this mean?
However, the enemy was immediately in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about the details of the advance order. He was so anxious that he made people scream.
Clang clang clang!
The shrill gong sounded.
The battle line that was shaky but still able to hold on suddenly became distorted as if it had been shaken by an unknown big hand.
On the battlefield, weakness means death.
The generals' unorganized retreat was even more fatal.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the originally strong Northern Conquest Army roared and tore through the Japanese pirates' defense line.
Countless soldiers rushed in without restraint.
Ahhhhh.
For a time, the sound of weapons clashing on the battlefield became much quieter, but the screams of death became more intense and frequent.
The Japanese pirate soldiers in the rear were frightened and immediately ran faster.
"That's unreasonable!"
On Wenzhu Mountain, because of the distance and the drizzle, Uesaki couldn't see very clearly, but he could hear it clearly.
"What does Dongtang do for food? I asked him to retreat by fraud!"
Not a rout!
He was so angry that he clutched the sword at his waist tightly, and veins popped out in his hands.
If the people in the east hall saw him, they would chop off his head with a knife.
"General," the military advisors nearby looked frightened.
At this moment, they didn't want to get into trouble with the general at all, but they still had the courage to come forward.
"As the saying goes, a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall. For the safety of the general, how about we retreat first?"
"Damn it!" Uesaki yelled.
"He, Chen Xiulan, doesn't dare to die. Could it be that this general is worse than a henpecked person?"
"I'm standing right here. I want to see with my own eyes just how brave that damn fat man is."
The young strategists laughed and shrank their necks.
"The general has misunderstood. His subordinates didn't mean it that way."
The man rolled his eyes and turned back to point at the bodyguards guarding the surrounding area.
"General, Wenzhu Mountain is neither big nor high. There are so many of us. Standing on the mountain so carelessly can easily expose our target."
"What if Yun Chuiren discovered it and King Pu retreated directly to the rear, wouldn't the general's plan be in vain?"
"Yeah," others agreed.
"General, people in Yunchui often say that we should choose the greater of two benefits and the lesser of two harms. Now our army is in a precarious situation and is in many dangers. Killing Chen Xiulan and improving the morale of our officers and soldiers is more important than anything else."
"Besides, the general is not shrinking from the war, and there is no issue of losing the face of the Yamato nation, but just a slight change of place can be exchanged for the life of Prince Yunchui. From the perspective of my subordinates, this account is a good deal no matter how you settle it."
After a while of persuasion from the others, Uesaki's face looked better.
He stared at the melee not far away for a while, then asked about the location of the heavy crossbow, and then turned around and left with the bodyguards.
"Hurry up the ballistae, and make sure the arrangements are in place before the East Hall retreats to Zhuwen Mountain, otherwise you will be severely punished."
"My subordinate understands!"
Uesaki issued a death order, but the soldiers did not dare to neglect it.
Ten huge heavy ballistas were pulled forward and pushed down by manpower, oxen and horses, and they climbed up the mountain against the retreating soldiers.
Fortunately, Wenzhu Mountain is not high.
It didn't take long for the group to find a perfect sniper spot in the dense bamboo forest halfway up the mountain.
Without taking any time to rest, they hurriedly unloaded the truck and prepared to assemble the heavy crossbow.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." The little boss kept his voice down and urged, "The enemy is coming soon, and the yellow flag will be within range in a short time. Hurry!"
Boom boom boom, dang dang dang.
The soldiers heard clearly and worked hard with their heads down.
I don’t know how long it took, but a chuckle suddenly sounded from all around.
A word from Yun Chui came.
"Haha, everyone is still busy."
"Thank you for your help in transporting the crossbow carts. They are quite heavy."
what's the situation?
The little leader of the Japanese pirates kept looking down the mountain.
At this time, he was still a little confused when he heard the unfamiliar Yun Chuiyu beside him.
Looking back, the little boss's heart sank.
At some point, several groups of Yun Chui scouts surrounded them with grinning faces.
"kill!"
Before he could recover, Yun Chui's soldiers had already raised their black and red swords and rushed towards him.
"Quickly, stop them!" the little boss screamed.
pity……
What to stop?
Although the heavy crossbow is extremely powerful, it is a long-range weapon and is basically useless in close combat.
Moreover, in order to transport these crossbow vehicles to the killing site faster, most of the Japanese pirate soldiers were empty-handed and had nothing but clothes on them.
At this time, they tried to grab something to resist, but when they looked around, their faces turned ashen.
Intentional vs. unintentional, empty-handed vs. bare-knife, a pungent smell of blood emerged, and the battle quickly stopped.
"Immediately target Dongtang and other Japanese pirate generals within range, and let me do what they want."
Scouts usually remain anonymous, but in order to survive and successfully send information back to their headquarters, many of them are versatile.
Controlling a mere heavy ballista is naturally a piece of cake.
They didn't say a word, and in groups of several people, they immediately rushed to the assembled ballista.
Zhizhizhi.
Wind up, turn to turn, aim to aim.
Not long after,
"put!"
The huge mountain hammer came down.
Buzz~
The thick bow string split the air and made the ears hurt.
Phew~
The crossbow arrow as big as an adult man's arm flew towards the target like lightning.
At this time, Dongtang already knew Shangfeng's plan and felt much calmer.
While commanding his men to retreat, he looked around to see where his ballistas were deployed.
hey-hey.
As long as I shoot the yellow flag in front of me, I will immediately organize a counterattack on the spot.
Dongtang was making calculations in his heart, and suddenly his heart tightened.
This innate sixth sense has allowed him to escape death on the battlefield several times.
what's the situation?
Dongtang was still a little confused.
However, before he could react this time, he felt something hit his body and he flew up heavily.
As the world was spinning, Dongtang saw his familiar and tattered body hit the ground heavily, twitched a few times and stopped moving.
Where did the crossbow arrows come from, so powerful?
These were his last thoughts.
"No, the general is dead."
Someone shouted loudly, his voice full of panic and despair.
The guards in the east hall were still a little confused, and immediately panicked when they reacted.
"The general has been assassinated."
"Come quickly, there is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly."
————
To the north, there are several tall lookout cars.
These are Yunchui's standard equipment, which can be assembled at any time or moved with the team.
Huang Ming put down the telescope with a smile on his face.
"All the generals on the Japanese pirate front line are gone, and the guards are in chaos again. No one is in command now."
"Pass this general's order, everyone, come forward and defeat them!"
"yes!"
Several messengers responded and began to wave their flags.
There was a fat man standing next to him.
It's not wrong to say he's fat, he's just a little rounder than other generals.
Chen Xiulan looked at the yellow flag in front of her and kept licking her dry lips.
"Old Huang, Dongtang is dead, and Wenzhu Mountain is also under our control. Can I go back to battle now?"
Huang Ming couldn't laugh or cry.
But he didn't stop it anymore.
"Go ahead, go ahead, but again, Your Highness must pay attention to safety."
"Okay." Chen Xiulan was overjoyed and got out of the observation car with a bang.
