He had only rushed out a few steps when he was pierced by several crossbow arrows, but he continued to rush forward as if nothing had happened, and blood scattering behind him, as if he was wearing the red cloak that was used exclusively by the lieutenant general in the past. His soldiers followed him, suffered heavy casualties, and ran head-on into Qinghe's heavy armored infantry.
All five hundred soldiers of the Qingchuan camp were killed in the battle.
Some of them even broke through the heavy armored soldiers' formation and broke into the sword and shield soldiers' formation, causing considerable casualties to the First Regiment.
"Tell me, if you had been less greedy, the walls of Qingchuan County would have been higher, and the crossbows on top of the city walls wouldn't have only had a few arrows. You're so powerful now, what were you doing back then?"
Ding Lin kicked Cao Rui's body, then squatted down and whispered to him, "I heard that you got drunk one time and said you were a corrupt official, also a corrupt official of the Great Chen Dynasty. You see, your Great Chen Dynasty abandoned you, abandoned me, and abandoned this land. The Great Chen Dynasty didn't come when my parents starved to death, and didn't come when my sister was abducted. The Great Chen Dynasty still didn't come after you died, so it doesn't need to come in the future. This land belongs to Qinghe."
As the cavalry that had gone out to reap the battlefield returned to their main camp, the vanguard battle came to an end.
The Qinghe Army annihilated Cao Rui's most combat-effective unit in the coalition with limited casualties, and promptly expanded the victory and gained rich gains. The coalition forces had no choice but to retreat into the main camp and build fortifications on the ruins of Suijiu County in an attempt to resist.
The Qinghe Army directly pushed the front line to the base of the city wall of the former Suijiu County.
That afternoon, Wang Liang, Lin Hai and Cheng Guorong, who received the battle report, rushed to the front line with the main force composed of the Qinghe 3rd and 4th Regiments.
After visiting the wounded, Lin Hai couldn't help but sigh, "We've seen this once before at the foot of Zhaoyang City, and again today. Honestly, if we weren't so much better equipped and outnumbered, we wouldn't be able to match the regular armies of these great powers in a one-on-one fight."
"That's true, but we don't need to worry too much. The military systems of Daliang and Chen Dynasty are huge. It's normal to have some bad elements and some elite elements. Whether it's Xiao Cheng or Cao Rui, they can't represent their combat effectiveness." Wang Liang said.
"Yes, indeed. Equipment and numbers are also a factor in combat effectiveness. Moreover, our combat effectiveness has been steadily improving over the years. In a few years, even in a one-on-one battle, they will definitely not be our opponents." Lin Hai looked back at Suijiu County. In the distance, he could still see the coalition soldiers digging trenches and building walls. He pointed with his finger and said, "Tomorrow, Cheng Guorong, let me see what you can do."
