Chapter 613 Heavy Casualties
Chen Qingqing stood on the city wall holding a telescope, keeping an eye on the movements of the enemy forces from the four countries.
Seeing the soldiers of Xiyue Kingdom rushing around like headless flies, with countless casualties,
She even suspected that Xiyue Lei was an idiot, watching his soldiers fall down in large numbers without any idea of a solution.
Zhou Jingyuan's heart was relieved, and he couldn't hide his smile in his tone, "Princess, the firearms you made are really powerful. They actually blew Xiyue Lei away. He didn't even think straight."
"Yes, although this minefield is terrible, if he had used his brain a little, so many soldiers wouldn't have been killed." Chen Qingqing's tone was a little regretful. She felt sorry for the dead soldiers and generals, and she felt sorry for their parents who had worked hard to raise them.
Zhou Jingyuan smiled faintly, "Princess, have you softened your heart?"
Chen Qingqing shook her head. "On the battlefield, it's either the enemy dies or I live. How can there be such a thing as soft-heartedness? If the enemy doesn't die, we will die. Don't worry, I'm not that kind-hearted."
After saying that, she raised the telescope and looked at the route that Barhu and Nangong Jin were marching towards.
At this time, Barahu and Nangong Jin also encountered a horse pit halfway through their journey.
I wanted to use livestock to bear the brunt of the casualties, but most of the livestock accompanying the army were given to Gao Lizhu.
As a last resort, they had to lead their troops and charge forward at the risk of their lives.
It took a full three days and a lot of effort to finally pass it.
They thought that everything would be fine ahead, but to their surprise, they were faced with an even more terrifying scene.
With the earth-shaking and violent explosions, cries of crying for parents were heard everywhere, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Barahu and Nangong Jin had never seen such a scene before, and they were so scared that they ran away.
They didn't want their troops to die in vain, so they kept their troops inactive for three consecutive days.
Barhu was getting a little anxious. If the Western Yue Kingdom really captured Anyang first, the Northern Yi would get nothing.
He had no choice but to take the initiative to find Nangong Jin to discuss countermeasures.
But the two of them had their own ulterior motives, and each wanted the other to break the minefield.
We discussed it from morning till night, but we still couldn't come to any conclusion.
Barag was so anxious that he kept hitting his head. Finally, he came up with a good idea to achieve the best of both worlds.
Each side selected 10,000 men to form a death squad and bravely enter the minefield.
Nangong Jin thought this method was feasible and nodded in agreement.
The two men had a good idea, thinking that 20,000 suicide squads were enough to break the minefield.
But the power of the mines was so great that they had not marched half a mile when they heard explosions and the howling of ghosts and wolves. Twenty thousand soldiers were killed or wounded.
Some were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, but were caught up and beheaded by the warlords behind them.
Barhu and Nangong Jin did not give up. They each pulled out another 10,000 soldiers and continued to charge forward.
Four or five waves of people were blown to pieces.
Even so, they did not give up and continued to dispatch troops to Anyang.
They fought fiercely, but Gao Lizhu remained silent and sent out scouts to observe the movements of the two roads.
I thought that some country would not be able to hold on and would flee, and then he would lead the army to continue to charge forward, perhaps to reduce casualties.
But what he didn't expect was that although the Xiyue army suffered heavy casualties, Xiyue Lei did not retreat, but became more and more courageous.
Nangong Jin and Barahu were also not frightened by the minefield, and rushed forward at the same time...
Gao Lizhu knew the power of hidden weapons, and advancing rashly would only result in more casualties.
In order to preserve the strength of Gaoluo, he once again ordered the 50,000-strong army to stop the attack.
He knew the principle that in marching and fighting, "the quality of the soldiers is more important than the quantity, and the strategy is more important than the bravery of the general."
Rushing forward blindly is brainless, and using human wave tactics is stupid.
A man who has courage but no strategy is a reckless man, a man who has strategy but no courage is a coward, a man who has neither courage nor strategy is a sick man, and a man who has both courage and strategy is a great doctor.
He didn't want to be like Xiyue Lei and the others, rushing forward foolishly.
We must find a way to pass through the minefield with the least loss.
Gao Lizhu pulled her hair, pounded her head, racked her brains, and racked her brains. After three days alone in the big tent, she finally came up with a good idea.
Dozens of war horses dragged branches to clear the way ahead, and when the explosions on the road were completely gone,
He led his fifty thousand troops forward,
Although there were occasional explosions in the military formation, the casualties were relatively small.
On the city wall of Anyang.
Chen Qingqing's initial worries were relieved. Although the leaders of Beiyi Kingdom and Nanjiang Kingdom were much stronger than Xiyue Kingdom, the sacrifice of ten thousand people was really enough. It seemed that they were also stupid.
On the other hand, the Gaoluo Kingdom, which had only 50,000 troops, had to reconsider its situation. Keeping the troops in place was indeed much better than committing suicide.
Just when Chen Qingqing thought that Gao Luoguo was afraid, Gao Lizhu's troops took action.
It has to be said that the prince of Gaoluo was relatively clever, as he managed to pass through the horse traps and minefields without losing a single soldier.
It took the four-nation coalition eight full days to reach the city of Anyang, a distance of just over forty miles.
Gao Lizhu thought that Gao Luoguo had arrived at Anyang City first, but who knew that his large group of troops had not yet set up camp.
The other two groups of troops also arrived at the city of Anyang one after another.
Seeing this, Gao Lizhu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and really wanted to immediately order an attack on Anyang City and snatch Princess Anyang.
But Xiyue Lei sent someone to pass on the order, and the generals of the four countries all gathered at his place.
Gao Lizhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Xiyue Lei's central army tent. When she entered the room, she almost laughed out loud.
Xiyue Lei had a white cloth wrapped around his head, leaving only his eyes exposed. He looked as funny as he could be.
"Brother Xiyue, what's wrong with your head?" Gao Lizhu suppressed the smile on her lips.
Xi Yuelei waved his hand and said, "Brother Gao, please don't ask me anymore. My head was almost shattered by the thunder. Fortunately, my head is fine and I only lost an ear."
"Oh, then you won't be one-eared!" Gao Lizhu almost couldn't help laughing, and looked at Barhu and Nangong Jin.
Barhu had one arm wrapped in white cloth, and Nangong Jin was standing beside him with his head drooped, holding crutches in his hands.
Gao Lizhu couldn't hold it in any longer this time and burst out laughing, "General Ba, Brother Nangong, what happened to you? Were you struck by lightning too?"
"Get out of the way. I don't care whether I get struck by lightning or not. It's none of your business." Barhu rolled his eyes at him.
Nangong Jin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "That's right, didn't you get struck by lightning?"
"Oh~~ Looks like I'm going to disappoint you." Gao Lizhu moved her arms and kicked her legs, then touched her head with her hand, putting on an expression of rage. "Everything is fine. I, Gao Lizhu, am unharmed. There's nothing wrong with me."
