Years of combat experience made Udo instinctively feel that they had fallen into Huangfuyan's trap, and he immediately stopped caring about anything else and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
When the soldiers heard Udo's shouts, they were all a little confused and wanted to turn back, but there was no time! Rolling stones fell from nowhere, and rockets tied with straw fell in dense numbers, and the sound was deafening.
The roaring sound sent the horses flying in all directions, and the situation almost immediately got out of control.
No matter how much Udo and the generals shouted, it was of no avail. The noise was too loud and completely blocked their shouts.
The weather in the north is dry, and it is July and August. The trees in the forest are easily ignited. In a short time, the entire Echo Valley has become a scourge. The screams are reflected on the echo wall, and the howling of a lonely wolf is so sad.
.
Zhao Fan looked at Huangfu Yan who had withdrawn from the forest and was standing on horseback facing the wind. His pale face finally had a hint of redness reflected by the firelight, but his face that was too calm and indifferent still made people unable to feel the slightest trace of it.
The breath of a child.
I don't know why, but a word suddenly came to Zhao Fan's mind: a black flower growing in hell.
He didn't read much and couldn't think of a more suitable adjective. When he looked at Huangfu Yan, he inexplicably only thought of this.
The screams lasted for a whole day. On that day, they seemed to have seen a real purgatory. The entire Echo Valley had completely turned into purgatory, with enchanting red flames, billowing smoke, the smell of blood and the burning smell of rotten flesh.
The mixture was so disgusting that many soldiers couldn't bear it and vomited it out.
After this battle, Huangfu Yan's cruel image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The 20,000 soldiers who followed Zhao Fan in this battle felt cold in their hearts when they mentioned Huangfu Yan in the future.
In less than a day, all the 30,000 troops led by Udo were wiped out, leaving not a single person alive.
Over at Fangcheng, when Udo's team was led into Echo Valley, General Sun, who was ordered to lead troops to attack Fangcheng, led 50,000 troops and attacked Fangcheng.
Although General Sun led 50,000 men and horses, the 20,000 Northern Mongolian soldiers stationed in Fangcheng were not vegetarians. The two sides were in a stalemate for an hour, but the city gate was still not broken, and the soldiers were also damaged.
Many times, General Sun showed some timidity, and there was no way to go on like this.
It's better to retreat first and fight another day. I heard that General Zhao set up an ambush in Echo Valley, which will definitely make Na Wuduo never return, removing the strongest main force in Northern Mongolia. Then isn't it just around the corner to recapture Fangcheng?
So General Sun summoned several generals who were in command to discuss: "Everyone, in my opinion, this square city is now easy to defend and difficult to attack. If this continues, it will only weaken the morale of our army and increase the damage. It is better to
Let's retreat first and wait for General Zhao to come back and discuss it together before fighting."
The two people with him also nodded, feeling that it made sense.
The other person was a little hesitant: "General Zhao has ordered us to seize Fangcheng no matter what this time. If we retreat at this time, how will we explain to General Zhao?"
Before leaving, Zhao Fan gave many warnings, not to be timid, but to seize Xiangcheng in one go. Time waits for no one, and there must be no mistakes.
General Sun disagreed and said: "Now the soldiers have lost thousands of lives. If this continues, there will only be more casualties. General Zhao has always cherished the soldiers, how could he just watch the soldiers die?"
