It is precisely because Zhao Shiqu has been stationed at the forefront of Yingbelly Mountain without retreating even half a step, which greatly boosted the morale of the human soldiers, that the small hilltop of Yingbelly Mountain was attacked by the heavenly army thirty-nine times.
Not even taken down
.
Now that Zhao Shiqu is dead, the hero in the hearts of human soldiers is dead.
Thousands of human warriors on the north side of Yingzui Cliff sang tragic war songs to see off their commander, while tearing off the white cloth and wrapping it around their heads.
Without His Majesty's orders, these soldiers will not leave a single person alive, let alone accept a single surrendered soldier.
More than one million elite soldiers stationed at Wangfu Ridge and Duoshi Peak broke through the barrier and began to rush north along the Yingzui Cliff defense line.
The human soldiers in Eagle Belly Mountain to the north are no longer limited to guarding Eagle Belly Mountain. They wrap their heads in white cloth and rush down desperately.
A pincer attack from the north and south trapped the remaining Tianjie soldiers in the canyon of Yingzui Cliff.
The fighting in the canyon was extremely cruel.
The human soldiers chanted slogans of revenge for Zhao Shuai, almost regardless of life and death, and completely adopted suicide attacks.
More and more soldiers fell, and more and more heavenly warriors fell.
Zhao Shiqu was still watching, and his drooped head had been straightened up by his loyal men.
So, he was still watching the fight in the canyon.
Zhan Ying and the militiamen had retreated to Fist Mountain on the outskirts of the Eastern Front, and he also learned about Zhao Shiqu's funeral.
Zhan Ying had never taken Zhao Shiqu, a frail scholar, seriously in his eyes, but what Zhao Shiqu had done in guarding Yingbelly Mountain in the past few days really made Zhan Ying look at him with admiration.
When Zhan Ying first deduced this tactic, he knew that Yingbelly Mountain was the biggest variable in this battle.
No general can guard Eagle Belly Mountain, not even Yang Zhentian.
Only Zhao Shiqu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, could possibly hold on.
Since the beginning of the war, Zhan Ying had been worried that Zhao Shiqu would retreat in fear of the war, so he proposed to let Qu Datou mobilize the militiamen on the eastern front to the west, just to prevent Zhao Shiqu from retreating and the militiamen could stop him for a while.
Judging from the ending, Zhao Shiqu did not make any major mistakes in this battle except for a few improper employment decisions.
The extent of Qu Datou's injury was unclear. After hearing the news of Zhao Shi Qu's funeral, he struggled to get up and kowtowed three times in the direction of Yingzui Cliff with Sun Bashan, who was recovering from his injuries here.
This was an era of orderly hierarchy. No matter how young Zhao Shiqu was, he was always the chief marching officer of Jiannan Road and the highest military commander on the land.
After kowtowing, Qu Datou said: "Brother Zhan Ying, now that the general manager is killed on the battlefield, will it affect the morale of the army? There won't be any changes in this battle." Zhan Ying shook his head gently and said: "To the south
Marshal Zhao had already opened the Eagle Beak Cliff Pass and rushed into the canyon. The remaining troops of Tianjie were compressed in the second, third and fourth lines of defense. They were already the turtles in the jar. At this time, the General Manager suddenly
However, the funeral will not affect morale, it will only intensify morale. Your Majesty has ordered that no one should be left alive and no prisoners should be surrendered. This war will end before dusk today."
The victory did not bring any joy to Zhan Ying, and his sadness was not due to how many human soldiers were lost in this battle. His vision looked further.
Total annihilation is the two most beloved words and the two most hated words for any general.
To annihilate the enemy's army and to be annihilated by the enemy is the highest honor and the most shameful thing for a general.
Gu Yuqi didn't want to be completely wiped out, so he was struggling to his death.
The human world originally planned to force the more than 200,000 heavenly warriors remaining in the canyon to surrender under the attack from the north and the south. This would also reduce the casualties of some human warriors.
Zhao Shiqu's death made everyone lose their weakness and reason.
Zhao Shiqu died in battle, and the battlefield command would be handed over to General Hong Qi. It can be said that Hong Qi was automatically promoted to the highest military officer in this battle the moment Zhao Shiqu died in battle. However, His Majesty the Emperor bypassed General Hong Qi and directly faced
The whole army ordered that no one should be left alive and no surrendered troops should be accepted. He wanted to annihilate all the enemies. He used the corpses of the enemies to commemorate Zhao Shiqu, Yang Zhentian, and Feng Zhiang. Thousands of people died in this battle.
More than five million people died in battle.
Killing is certainly a pleasurable thing, but what happens after the killing?
No one is thinking about what will happen next, only Zhan Ying is thinking about it.
In this catastrophe, the heavens suffered such heavy losses, the six tribes of heaven and humans were defeated, and the six legions were almost completely annihilated. In the future, the human world will inevitably suffer counterattacks and revenge from the heavens.
This battle is over. Where will the world go in the future? If the next wave of reinforcements from the lower realm of heaven is also 4.6 million, these 4.6 million will be divided into 460 groups, each with an army of 100,000.
Instead of attacking the majestic passes of the human world, we disperse our attacks. How can the human world resist this attack from human beings?
What about bloody revenge?
Zhan Ying knew that the Battle of Eagle Beak Cliff was just the beginning of this catastrophe, and the real bloody and cruel war had not yet come.
But it will definitely come to the world suddenly in the near future.
In this battle, countless fierce generals and tiger generals in the world have been lost. In the catastrophic battle in the future, how many strong generals in the world can be used.
This is why Zhan Ying feels sad.
He used to feel that since he had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and a year ago Lao Wangtou taught Princess Li Tielan's military strategy, it would be easy for him to manage an army of tens of millions, and he could even be qualified to serve as the general marshal of the world's soldiers.
After this battle, he clearly realized his shortcomings.
He was too young and too energetic. If he could calm down and think more about the details of this battle beforehand, maybe this battle would not have been so brutal.
Now he no longer has much desire to lead troops. He has an idea that even he finds ridiculous and absurd.
He wanted to go back and throw stones.
The sound of fighting could no longer be heard, and the sound of the horn gradually became blurry. He saw a shirtless quarry worker, wheeling a hammer, covered in sweat.
He thought he was back at the quarry, but now he was standing on Fist Mountain, and all he saw was his own figure in his imagination.
He smiled and left.
Qu Datou wanted to ask Zhan Ying about the next battle. He looked up and saw that Zhan Ying, who had been standing at the highest point of Fist Mountain, had disappeared at some point. A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart and he immediately sent someone to go there.
Looking for Zhan Ying, this peerless military god who will always be recorded in history like Princess Li Tielan, this iron-fisted marshal who is famous in the three worlds for his cruelty and cold blood. There are many legendary stories about him in later generations. However, in countless versions of his character
in biography,
But they all lacked the deeds of the ten years after the First World War at Yingzui Cliff.
In the ten years after the Battle of Eagle Beak Cliff, no one had seen Zhan Ying. Even though General Qu Jiuyuan went crazy and searched for him for ten years, he still found nothing. In these ten years, he seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace.
nor.
There are rumors in later unofficial histories that in the ten years after he disappeared, he studied under a master and learned profound military strategies.
Some people also say that during those ten years, he was breaking stones in a quarry day and night. Who knows whether it is true or false, false or true.
