The violent explosion frightened the war horses. Whether they were Zhou's cavalry or Sun Tianli's Qian State cavalry, all the war horses began to run away wildly, without being controlled by the soldiers at all.
But the further the war horse ran, the more explosives buried underground exploded. At the same time, the trenches dug in advance were also opened, revealing countless swords and guns buried in them.
The cavalryman who fell off his horse fell into the trench trap and was instantly impaled.
Xiao Linglong and Ye Hongxue had set explosive traps in a three-mile radius, and the horses affected by the explosion just ran forward desperately.
Bring each of the cavalry into the land of death!
After half an hour of explosions, Sun Tianli successfully led Zhou's 40,000 cavalry to the Huangquan Road at the cost of 20,000 people.
The ground was littered with the corpses of horses and people. Broken limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood seeped into the soil, dyeing the battlefield red.
This is the most cruel slaughterhouse, and words cannot describe even one ten thousandth of it!
Occasionally, a lucky person escapes the explosion trap, and at this moment, he is sitting on the ground dumbfounded, his eyes are dilated and there is no color in his pupils.
Everyone was stunned.
Guan Chang, who had led his troops to pursue him, was trembling all over. He didn't know what had just happened.
Looking at the deep pits one after another on the ground, the previous scene was deeply etched in his mind.
The violent explosions splashed human body fragments that constantly stimulated the nerves of this warrior on the battlefield.
Soldiers are not afraid of death, but not knowing how to die is the most terrifying thing!
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"
Guan Chang roared like crazy. At this moment, Zhang Zheng and Chen Xuanlong who had fled earlier had turned back to kill them!
With red eyes, the two generals shouted Sun Tianli's last words, rushed into the crowd, and used all their strength to kill the enemies around them!
This is not a battlefield confrontation at all, but a massacre!
Most of the soldiers under Guan Chang's command were frightened by the previous explosion, and they could only run for their lives like crazy. Some even fled into the Qianjun formation in panic, and were then hacked to death with random knives.
On the left, Ye Hongxue is riding on a tall horse, holding a lance, and behind him are three thousand soldiers.
"Leave no one behind!"
She issued the killing order coldly. She was used to life and death and would never feel any mercy once she was on the battlefield.
The massacre lasted for a quarter of an hour, and only half of Guan Chang's army escaped.
The rest all became ghosts under the sword!
Throwing away his helmet, Chen Xuanlong, who was covered in blood, carried Guan Chang's head to the minefield that had become quiet, threw Guan Chang's head out with all his strength, and shouted: "It's easy to go, surnamed Sun!"
The generals remained silent and then began to clean up the battlefield. On this day, the Qian army killed a total of 50,000 enemy troops at the cost of 23,000 casualties.
Big win!
The news was sent back.
Horn and Yan Wenyuan, who were still waiting for the good news, were so frightened that they could not sit still. They quickly stood up and grabbed the general who was reporting.
"What are you talking about! How could Li Jingyuan and Guan Chang both die in battle! How could the vanguard's casualties be so heavy!"
"I, I don't know! I don't know! Qianguo! Qianguo has demons to help!"
The general who struggled to get it back trembled: "Suddenly the earth exploded, and everyone was killed! It must be! It must be the demon helping the army!"
"Absurd! How can a demon cause trouble in broad daylight?"
Yan Wenyuan was furious: "Come here! Drag this guy down and chop him down! Anyone who disturbs the morale of our army will be killed without mercy!"
Before the poor general could explain clearly what happened, his head was already on the ground.
"Brother Huo! It seems that the empress and Ye Hongxue are not as easy to deal with as the two of us thought." Yan Wenyuan said with a cold face.
Horn's face was also extremely ugly: "With the combat power of the Qian army, it is absolutely impossible to defeat our vanguard army and almost annihilate it. If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong! Send someone to survey the battlefield immediately to find out what happened. matter!"
Half a day later.
The scouts from the two countries rushed back to the military camp.
"Let me tell you two marshals, when we arrived at the battle site, we only saw broken corpses all over the ground. The ground was full of potholes and the soil was turned out. It looked like something was coming out of the ground."
"Most of the corpses on the ground were in pieces, as if they had been struck alive by some force."
"The military doctor said that it would be absolutely impossible to cut the body into pieces."
Both Horn and Yan Wenyuan were a little confused.
"Fragmented?"
The scout nodded and said: "Yes, the bodies of the war horses and soldiers are roughly the same. Even the armors are in pieces. We have never seen such a way of death."
"Furthermore, the body fragments vary in size from large to small, and it is completely impossible to tell what kind of weapon caused them."
The two marshals were stunned for a long time before letting the scouts go out.
They were all frightened by the scout's report.
Yan Wenyuan murmured: "Is it possible that there are really demons in this world?"
Horn said coldly: "If there is really a demon, why would he help him, Qian Guo? There must be a hidden secret in this, maybe Qian Guo has some unknown weapons hidden in it."
The two of them were guessing when the military doctor came outside the military camp: "Two marshals, we are waiting for new discoveries."
"Speak quickly!" Yan Wenyuan urged.
The military doctor said with some confusion in his tone: "Tell the two marshals that we found something strange among the soldiers and horses who escaped."
"What's strange?"
The military doctor said strangely: "Most soldiers are afraid of loud noises. When they hear it, they will tremble all over and even become incontinent. War horses will go crazy as long as the sound is slightly louder. It is as if the man and the horse have been strongly stimulated."
"All crazy!"
"crazy?"
Yan Wenyuan and Horn were in disbelief.
The military doctor nodded: "The soldiers who have escaped now have basically lost their combat capabilities. Almost all of them are talking about explosions. It is very strange. I don't know what they encountered on the battlefield."
"There is such a thing. Take us to see it."
Seeing is believing but hearing is believing. Yan Wenyuan and Horn decided to see whether the situation was true or not.
After a circle, the two of them were stunned. Just as the military doctor said, most of the horses and soldiers who escaped from the battlefield seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and everyone was afraid of something.
"What on earth turned them into this!"
Horn and Yan Wenyuan were very puzzled, but they couldn't find the answer, so they could only send an order to the whole army to repair, and they were not allowed to attack without orders.
It is one thing for the two countries to join forces and have a large number of troops, but when fighting a war, they naturally think about how to achieve the greatest results with the least losses.
Especially now that the opponent is not engaged in a siege war with them, neither Yan Wenyuan nor Horn wants to push the Qian army too hard.
Otherwise, the whole army will be dispatched together, and the Qian army will retreat directly into Tongzhou and defend it with a fortified city.
The losses would be too great. It would be impossible to break through a city garrisoned by all the troops without losing half of the troops.
