In Yingbelly Mountain, in the shady cave, Zhao Shiqu heard Sun Bashan's final farewell, and he closed his eyes in despair.
Nearly half of the 220,000 elite troops stationed on Eagle Belly Mountain were burned to death by the Skyfire Beast, and the remaining half were hiding in caves. The entire mountain was burned, and they could not get out at all.
Zhao Shiqu has ordered the soldiers in Yingbelly Mountain to be prepared to die for their country.
As long as the enemy rushes forward, no matter how fierce the flames outside are, they will rush out and die together with the enemy.
There were many generals and staff following Zhao Shiqu. They drew their swords and waited for the last glorious moment in their lives.
The sound of killing was getting closer and closer, and the observation post in the cave reported that Sun Bashan's three lines of defense had collapsed. Skeleton soldiers had already broken through the thick fog and began to climb Eagle Belly Mountain in the sea of fire.
There was not a single living human warrior on the front of Eagle Belly Mountain. These skeleton warriors easily occupied the fortifications at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside.
Just when Zhao Shiqu and others were about to rush out and take back the fortifications, the sound of killing outside was loud.
The messenger shouted: "Reinforcements! Commander! Our reinforcements are coming!"
Zhao Shiqu and many senior generals were surprised and happy.
Mr. Zhuge said: "It's impossible. The fire in the north is still burning. It's impossible for reinforcements to break through the ten-mile-long flame zone."
The messenger said: "They are reinforcements from Marshal Qu on the Eastern Front! Marshal Qu sent someone to summon him. He led one million reinforcements into the canyon. They have blocked the Skeleton Army's offensive and are advancing southward..."
"Commander Qu? One million reinforcements?"
Everyone looked suspicious.
Zhao Shiqu didn't remember that he had a commander named Qu who could mobilize one million reinforcements.
Mr. Zhuge patted his head and said, "Shuai Zhao, it's Qu Jiuyuan!"
Zhao Shiqu was startled, and then the giant man with a curly beard with a wide face and big ears appeared in his mind.
He remembered that Qu Jiu was originally nicknamed Qu Datou. He was originally a low-ranking captain, responsible for supervising a quarry a hundred miles away to the east. Later, Yang Zhentian recommended this person to His Majesty because of his meritorious service. Before the war started, His Majesty
Just in case, the civilians who entered Xiangxi were armed. The eastern front was responsible for quarrying and transporting more than two million civilians, all of whom were assigned to Qu Jiuyuan Diao.
Send.
A few hours ago, he received news that Qu Jiuyuan and the peasants had arrived a few miles east of Yingbelly Mountain. Zhao Shiqu did not take these old, weak, sick and disabled people to heart, and ordered Qu Jiuyuan to retreat eastward to avoid being blocked.
It blocked the marching path of the northern army.
Zhao Shiqu thought of this and quickly walked to the map. He wanted to see where Qu Jiuyuan led a million troops into the battlefield. Mr. Zhuge understood what he meant and pointed his finger at a gap on the east side of Eagle Belly Mountain.
Said: "This place is located on the side of Yingbelly Mountain. There are not too many troops stationed. Originally, this gap was used by each echelon to advance quickly. After the fire spread, the first echelon evacuated backwards. There were only 27 and 27 people nearby.
The 28th attack echelon is currently hiding in the fortifications and cannot take the lead. However, there is a small gap here, which is in the southeast direction of the attack echelon and is not covered by the sea of fire. This gap is connected to the east line. They must have come in from here.
Yes! Marshal Zhao, we are saved! As long as millions of militiamen block the Skeleton Legion's offensive for an hour, the second wave of attacks by the Skybat troops will begin and infiltrate.
Those Skyfire Beasts at the Yingzui Cliff Defense Line are nothing to be afraid of, they will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory!"
When Zhao Shiqu heard the words "turn defeat into victory", his eyes immediately lit up.
He said: "Old sir, how should we respond next?" Mr. Zhuge said: "First, order the leader of the Baishan clan to speed up. Second, order Marshal Zhao on the wasteland to launch a full-scale counterattack to hold back the enemy's main force.
The third one ordered Qu Jiuyuan to hold the enemy in the canyon for an hour at all costs. The fourth one
Order the attack echelons on the eastern flank to pass through Fist Mountain and assemble in the direction of the gap where the eastern militia entered the battlefield."
Zhao Shiqu immediately nodded and said to the messenger: "Didn't you hear what the old gentleman said? Please pass on these four orders of the old gentleman immediately." Only a small part of the millions of militiamen broke into the battlefield. The gap was not big and could not be accommodated in the valley.
There were no less than a million people. Zhan Ying was responsible for commanding and dispatching from the rear, so that the subsequent militia teams could gather into loose square formations, each with a
About ten thousand people rushed into the canyon one by one.
Qu Datou took over Sun Bashan's work, and with his dense militia, he first blocked the offensive of countless skeleton warriors. Then he began to concentrate his forces and began to advance southward along the edge of the eastern cliff.
The soldiers who came down through the rope from the third line of defense were incorporated into his own team by Qu Datou.
He shouted loudly: "Don't be obsessed with fighting! Let's charge together!"
The advance was very fast, and the skeleton warriors were far less powerful than the giant warriors and madman warriors in hand-to-hand combat.
The Skyfire Beasts are too big. Six thousand Skyfire Beasts have blocked the canyon for several miles, almost from the second line of defense to the third line of defense.
The mad warriors and giant warriors were all blocked in the back, with only a few standing in front.
Thick fog gathered in the valley and visibility was poor. Skeleton warriors alone could not stop the militiamen who were like ghosts in the forest.
Of course, the smooth progress of Qu Datou is also related to Zhan Ying's prior instructions.
He ordered most of the militiamen to attract the attention of the skeleton soldiers in the canyon, while he led a small group of militiamen to move south along the stone wall at the edge of the canyon, and soon broke through the third line of defense prepared by Zhao Shiqu.
As soon as we crossed the third line of defense, we immediately saw those huge skyfire beasts.
These huge monsters are still spraying waves of fireballs towards the north, with each wave of fireballs numbering in the thousands.
There were many giant warriors holding shields and forming a defensive circle in front of the Skyfire Beast. Apparently they were also worried that some human soldiers would rush over and strike at the Skyfire Beast, which had almost no defense.
At this time, Qu Datou had no choice but to rush in. If he wanted to kill the group of Skyfire Beasts, he had to rush in from the front of the hundreds of giant warriors. He shouted: "Brothers, ahead is the formation of the Legion of Destruction.
Remember one thing, everyone, sneak in whenever you see a crack. Don't waste time with the giant army or the madman army. After rushing in, use the swords in your hands like smashing rocks.
, chop the sky fire beasts hard! You must cut them to bleed! Their blood is more terrifying than fierce fire oil. It only takes a little wound to burn a sky fire beast to death! Do you understand!"
Countless voices came from the thick fog behind him: "Understood!" Qu Datou shouted: "Then why are you still standing there! Charge! As long as we kill these Skyfire Beasts, we will all be great heroes!"
