None of the three hundred scouts survived, and there was an uproar among Tunu's army.
The generals discussed one after another:
"But I don't know what the commander-in-chief is thinking. Three hundred scouts went to fight 50,000 dogs, and it was obvious that they were going to die!"
"It's a pity that three hundred good sergeants are all veterans of many battles! Their lives were lost in vain, and the hair of the Xuan dog was not even injured!"
"If General Niegu Lai was still here, how could he do such ridiculous things!"
"Hurry up and withdraw your troops back to Shuangxiong Pass. We can't defeat Yangjiao Pass!"
The generals pointed and pointed, but the general, Ke Guchan, said nothing.
Che Luosha looked at the sand table and thought about it all night. At dawn, he suddenly smiled.
Kegu Chan asked in surprise: "Why is the commander laughing?"
Che Luosha said: "There are not many people on Qianlonggang, the enemy is just bluffing."
Kegu Chan was puzzled: "Three hundred elite soldiers are gone and will never return, so the enemy's strength must be tens of thousands."
"You are wrong!" Che Luosha shook his head, "When the scouts were leaving, I also specifically told them not to fight to the death with the enemy, but to just find out what was true and what was true.
Scouts have experienced hundreds of battles, and they know when to fight and when to retreat. If the enemy army really numbers tens of thousands, the scouts will immediately return to the camp to report the news, and will not lose their lives in vain."
Kegu Chan said: "According to the commander-in-chief's wishes, the scouts discovered that the enemy camp was empty, and went deep into the enemy camp to investigate, so that the entire army was annihilated?"
Che Luosha nodded and said: "The enemy was afraid that the news would be leaked, so they tried their best to stop and kill the scouts, so that none of the scouts survived. If there were really tens of thousands of troops and the troops and horses were mobilized, they would not be so meticulous."
Kegu Chan felt that this was all Che Luosha's random speculation, but it was difficult to explain clearly, and asked: "For the current plan, how should we defeat the enemy?"
"There is no need to defeat the enemy. Tomorrow you will lead an army of 50,000 people to walk on the mountain road. Do they have the guts to stop you?"
"Fifty thousand troops?" Ke Guchan said reluctantly, "Commander, the fifty thousand troops are equivalent to the Xuan Dog troops on Qianlonggang. The enemy has the advantage of the situation..."
Che Luosha glared at Kegu Chan: "I just said it, the enemy is bluffing, not to mention fifty thousand, even five thousand may not be able to do it. As a general, you are timid, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility!"
Kegu Chan did not dare to resist the order, so he immediately ordered 50,000 troops and marched to Qianlonggang early in the morning.
I have to admit Che Luosha's wisdom, he accurately judged Xu Zhiqiong's true strength.
Xu Zhiqiong originally had more than 430 people. They fought fiercely with the Tunu scouts last night. Although they won a complete victory, there were also casualties. Fifty-eight people died in the battle and more than a hundred were injured. Among them, 26 were seriously injured.
Han Chen used the teleportation array to send him back to Yangjiao Pass twice.
Han Chen's teleportation array has an upper limit, and no more than twenty people can be teleported at one time. Although there are special magic tools that can store the array, it still cannot complete the retreat of all members in a short period of time.
In addition to casualties, there are other problems.
The soldiers fought fiercely all night, barely sleeping a wink, and were very physically exhausted.
Especially Tong Qingqiu. In last night's battle, he relied on him to control more than two hundred paper figures and keep track of the enemy's movements at all times.
Tong Qingqiu's ability to control two hundred paper dolls reached his limit. After the battle, Tong Qingqiu fell into coma on the spot and did not wake up until dawn.
The situation is grim, but fortunately Xu Zhiqiong has completed his mission. He only needs to hold off the enemy for one day, and the rest can be done as much as he wants.
At dawn, Keguchan arrived at Qianlonggang with an army of 50,000 men. Che Luosha was right and Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to fight.
The sergeants have thirty bows and arrows each. Even if they all hit, how many Tunu can they kill?
Why not bring more arrows?
It’s useless to bring too much, since it takes physical strength to shoot a bow.
A sergeant fired his bow ten times in a row, and his arm began to ache. Thirty arrows were the limit. No more arrows could be shot down the mountain.
In addition to the bows and arrows, there are also a hundred logs prepared by Niu Yuxian. If they are all pushed down, how many enemies can be killed?
Once all the belongings are gone, what else can be done?
Go down the mountain? Charge? Fight for your life?
More than 300 people rushed into the 50,000-strong army, and they couldn't even make a splash.
If you don't dare to fight, why are you still here?
Xu Zhiqiong seemed to have other plans. Instead of retreating, he ordered his sergeants to beat drums and wave flags in the mountains, which was very impressive.
General Tunu looked strange: "We are not fighting, but why are we beating drums?"
Che Luosha laughed and said: "How can he have the guts to fight? Those who jump from the beam are shameless. When death is about to happen, they still scream and show their embarrassment. If they had left earlier, these dogs could still survive, but now they have no way to advance or retreat. Just like A turtle in a urn."
Everyone heard the words and praised him.
Last night, he complained that Che Luosha did not understand tactics. Today, seeing that Xuan Jun did not dare to resist, he realized that Che Luosha knew that the enemy was like a god.
A Tunu general came forward and said: "I am willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to cut off the heads of these turtles in the jar and present them to the commander-in-chief!"
"An army of ten thousand?" Che Luosha laughed loudly, "The number of Xuan Dogs on Qianlonggang is only a thousand. If you bring an army of ten thousand to fight with them, it will suit his purpose.
There is no need to send out a single soldier and trap them on the mountain. When the Yangjiao Pass is captured, capture them back and cook them into meat soup and drink them!"
The generals admired Che Luosha and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, almost all the 50,000 troops passed through the mountain road. At the end of the team were fifty huge catapults.
There is no such institution as a penance workshop in Tunu, and the quality of their ordnance cannot be compared with that of Daxuan, with the exception of catapults.
Tunu's catapults were astonishingly powerful, far more powerful than Daxuan. They could throw thousands of kilograms of stones at a time. Two or three shots from more than fifty catapults could collapse the north wall of Yangjiao Pass.
The catapult is very powerful and huge in size. The boom is seven to eight feet long. One catapult can span the entire mountain road. There are four oxen pulling the cart in front and ten people pushing the cart behind.
When fifty catapults arrived at Bianniuping, Xu Zhiqiong smiled.
This was the opportunity he was waiting for. The more than one hundred rolling logs were reserved for the catapult.
Human affairs were left to Chu Xin to deal with, and Xu Zhiqiong was powerless.
The chariot and cavalry generals occupy the dangerous pass and can withstand the Tunu army with confidence.
Xu Zhiqiong stayed here to wait for the catapult.
Destroying a catapult can extend the life of the North Wall by an extra moment and buy Sheephorn Pass a little more time.
Thick logs had already been lined up on the hillside. Ten soldiers pushed one log and dropped thirty logs first.
Che Luosha was still talking and laughing with the generals when he suddenly heard loud noises and two catapults collapsed.
Che Luosha was shocked and quickly sent an order for the catapult to rush across the mountain road as quickly as possible.
But this is not something you can do as quickly as you want.
The catapult was too heavy, and traveling at full speed could not match the speed of an ordinary person walking.
What's even more fatal is that once the huge catapult collapses, it will block the road, and the catapults behind it can only be jammed on the mountain road.
Xu Zhiqiong ordered another wave of logs to be dropped.
Thirty heavy logs rolled down and hit the huge catapults. The wheels were shattered, the axles were broken, and three more catapults collapsed.
Thirty more logs were thrown in, and two more catapults were knocked down. Tunu's catapults were so strong that some of them were hit three times by rolling logs and still did not collapse.
It seems that Tunu's losses were not great, only seven of the fifty catapults were lost, but only ten logs were left.
Seeing the precious catapult collapse on the mountain road, General Tunu was extremely angry and stepped forward to ask for a fight:
"Commander, let Rong lead an army of five thousand and kill all these dogs."
"Commander, you don't need 5,000 troops. The last general will be able to bring 3,000 troops!"
"Commander, our army should take action as soon as possible, and we can't let Xuan Dog do whatever he wants!"
"Don't panic!" Che Luosha gritted his teeth and said, "The enemy's logs have run out!"
The fifth-grade military strategist had extremely good eyesight, and he saw that there were not many logs left on the burial ground.
Xu Zhiqiong ordered Niu Yuxian to lead the sergeants to push the last ten logs down the hillside.
These ten logs are very crucial!
The logs hit the catapult and shattered immediately. The logs were hollow.
The hollow logs were filled with kerosene, and the oil and water splashed on the catapult.
The soldiers fired their bows and fired arrows at the catapults.
The kerosene ignited immediately, and five catapults caught fire one after another.
Including the seven that collapsed before, a total of twelve vehicles were destroyed. Tunu had fifty catapults, but the loss was still not big enough.
Han Chen and Xu Zhiqiong gathered the yin and yang qi together at the upwind outlet, and used weather techniques to summon a strong wind on the mountain road.
The howling wind blew all the flames and grease downwind. The fire spread instantly on the mountain road, and more than thirty catapults caught fire one after another.
After a while, the strong wind subsided, and Xu Zhiqiong said to Han Chen: "Deploy the magic circle and take away as many people as you can!"
Xu Zhiqiong overfulfilled his mission and must retreat now.
Tu Nu struggled to put out the fire, but Niu Yuxian's special kerosene was not easy to extinguish.
There were originally fifty catapults, but now there were less than ten left. Che Luosha's eyes immediately turned red.
"Organize three thousand troops, and I will go forward and kill all these dogs!" Che Luosha wanted to go up by himself.
The general advised: "Commander, calm down and let me wait..."
"Shut up!" Che Luosha shouted, "If you dare to speak more, I will behead you!"
…
On Qianlonggang, Han Chen first took out five jade stones. These were the jade stones given to him by Taibu. They were specially used to store magic arrays. Each jade stone contained a teleportation magic circle. Han Chen used these five magic circles.
First, a hundred people were sent away, and then a magic circle was arranged to send away twenty people.
While he was casting the spell, Che Luosha had already rushed down the mountain, roared, and used the fifth-level skill - Sound Shock Qiongyu.
Although the distance was far, a dozen soldiers still fell to the ground dead, and Che Luosha rushed up the hillside with anger in his heart.
How many of these two hundred people can survive?
Niu Yuxian's internal organs were injured by the shock, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. He turned around and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "You go first, I can still resist for a while!"
