It was noon, the Qixing Mountain battlefield was in full swing, and the Yingzui Cliff battlefield also entered its final stage.
Both sides know that Eagle Belly Mountain is the key to the entire war. If the human world can hold it, the enemy will be completely wiped out. If the human world cannot hold it, the strategic plan implemented at such a high cost will probably fall short. The six armies of the heavens,
Although nearly half of them were lost front and rear, the main losses of the four legions of madmen, giants, skeletons, and destruction were not too great. Once they broke through the bell mouth defense line, they could move to the inner reaches of the Central Plains and break them into pieces. Several
Giant warriors can slaughter a village. A group of a hundred warriors can attack a town. A group of a thousand warriors can capture a city. It is very difficult for human soldiers to encircle and suppress these roving enemies.
No matter how big it is, the heavenly army can rely on the special terrain of Qixing Mountain and head east or west to easily avoid the army's heavy encirclement, and then retreat into the Shiwan Mountains in southern Xinjiang, waiting for the second wave of reinforcements from heaven.
At the same time as the lower bound, you can follow the
The five tribes in southern Xinjiang were wiped out by hand.
Zhao Shiqu, a frail scholar, used almost all the sinister means to regain the third line of defense that was lost by Feng Zhiang.
He is attacking, he can only attack.
Crossbow arrows impregnated with poison, rolling stones and logs prepared for a whole year, anything that could kill people, including teeth, were used.
The tactics of the heavenly army are always so rigid, with giants charging, madmen following, and skeleton warriors killing skirmishers.
This method of fighting has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and in the seven recorded catastrophes, it has eaten up most of the people in the world who can breathe.
It was really eaten.
Those who like to eat people are not just the talented tribes in southern Xinjiang, but those from the heaven. In addition to the humans in the heaven, those giants, madmen, six-winged legions, six-legged beast riders, and giant sky-fire beasts... these monsters all like to eat meat.
, especially human flesh.
Zhao Shiqu received a report from the left wing, saying that the commander of the left wing, with two million shirtless and black-skinned militiamen, had crossed Tiger Mountain and was advancing towards Eagle Belly Mountain. Zhao Shiqu knew about that army, but was not familiar with it. He had
There were too many warriors, and he never paid attention to the civilian workers who were responsible for digging stones and building roads. In his mind, these civilian workers were no different from farmers who had not received military training.
No, what they are better at wielding is the hoe, but the Mo Dao.
The current battle situation is very cruel, much more cruel than the previous battles at Wangfu Ridge and Seizing Stone Peak. Veterans would be frightened to go up there, let alone those militiamen who have not experienced the baptism of war.
In order to prevent this group of militiamen from disrupting the battlefield, Zhao Shiqu ordered them to stop advancing and still set up defenses at the Dragonfly Ridge of Tiger Mountain, far away from the battlefield.
Armed?
Zhan Ying stood next to Qu Datou and heard Zhao Shiqu's order conveyed by the messenger.
He felt miserable. Almost all of the two million militiamen were holding upper body, holding a rusty knife or a rusty sword that had been obsolete. They didn't even have a crossbow, a useless strong bow, an eight-oxen crossbow and a catapult.
Don't even think about it, if the enemy breaks through Yingbelly Mountain and flees to the east, what will happen?
If these militiamen come into close combat with them, they will suffer heavy casualties within two hours.
The military orders were overwhelming, and Qu Datou and Zhan Ying had no choice but to order the entire rear force to change into the front force and return to Laohu Mountain where they had been stationed for two days. Zhan Ying and Qu Datou did not leave, and they could already see the defense line of Yingbelly Mountain.
, a large number of fully armed elite soldiers on the flanks, carrying shields and weapons, are gathering from behind the Yingzui Cliff defense line towards the south, and then from the flank of Yingbelly Mountain.
The gap went around and poured into the cruel battlefield to the south.
"Brother Sun!" Qu Datou unexpectedly recognized a general who was passing by. He was similar to Qu Datou. He was a tough man with a beard on his face. He was carrying a long-handled Mo Dao in his hand and two swords stuck on his back.
You can tell from the tiger head on the armor, this is
A general has command over at least 10,000 people.
The general surnamed Sun also saw Qu Datou. Seeing the ragged, shirtless and unkempt militiamen behind Qu Datou, General Sun suddenly smiled.
Said: "Qu Datou, it turns out to be you. I heard that you have been promoted recently, and more than two million militiamen on the Eastern Front are under your control. You are the general marshal of the armed forces."
Qu Datou smiled bitterly and said: "Old Sun, please stop being sarcastic. If you are willing, how about we switch positions. You will take my two million militiamen, and I will take your 27,000 elite infantry."
General Sun immediately shook his head until it almost fell off his neck.
Qu Datou just made a joke, and then asked: "Old Sun, how was the fighting in front?" General Sun said: "It's very miserable. Marshal Zhao ordered to recapture the third line of defense stationed by Marshal Feng at all costs. This is still
In less than two hours, we have gone up to at least ten echelons. Brother, I am on the fifteenth echelon. Hey, I heard that there are piles of corpses in front.
It is higher than the mountain, and many injured brothers could not be transported out, or they were trampled to death by their own people."
Zhan Ying suddenly said: "Did you repel the enemy?"
General Sun is also a character. Although Zhan Ying is covered in dirt, he has a good temperament. He should not be an ordinary person. He is probably Qu Datou's deputy general or something.
He said: "We sacrificed ten echelons, and with the help of the Aerial Dragoon Corps, we killed all the enemies who penetrated the third line of defense. Now we are snatching the original fortifications to form a new defense circle." Feng Zhiang's sons ran away
It was too fast, causing the third line of defense to quickly collapse. A large number of fortifications on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road were not destroyed. There were a large number of eight-niu crossbows and crossbow guns stored in those high-up stone caves. As long as they were snatched back
From the original position, you can continue to rely on favorable terrain to delay or kill the enemy.
Zhan Ying felt at ease. As long as he could hold on to the second and third lines of defense at Eagle Claw Ridge for a day or two more, his chances of winning this battle would be much higher.
Zhan Ying dared to formulate such a strategic plan to annihilate his descendants because the treasure he placed was not on the Eagle's Mouth Cliff, but on the cavalry in the wasteland. After annihilating the main force of the Storm Legion, the main force of the cavalry has now quickly returned to the Eagle's Mouth Cliff.
On the periphery, the two-day battle has made the cavalry, from knights to war horses, quite exhausted. As long as they survive tonight, by tomorrow morning, the tired cavalry will be relieved.
If you have some strength, it will be the end of the heavenly army.
The cavalry will make all the skeleton legions, giant legions and madman legions in the wasteland feel that the more than 100,000 cumbersome destruction legions left outside in the dozens of miles long canyon are definitely no match for the cavalry.
Once all the main attacking forces of the Heavenly Army enter the canyon, no matter how many there are, the battle will be over.
What Zhan Ying fears most is that Zhao Shiqu cannot hold on for more than ten hours on Eagle Belly Mountain.
Now it seems that Zhao Shiqu is still somewhat capable. He knows that defense is only a bad strategy and chooses to take the initiative to attack. The price of attacking for defense is that more and more people will die.
