The withered cicada went westwards to the Peacock Kingdom.
Just like he went all the way north to Chi Lechuan back then.
At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan, who was in the Baihua Valley in the Taier Mountains of Peacock Country, still didn't know that the withered cicada was coming here.
As the sun rises, there is a light mist in the valley. Smoke rises from the houses hidden in the woods in the valley. The shadows of secret sentries can be vaguely seen on the treetops in the distance. The early morning here is quiet and peaceful.
The fat man walked into Fu Xiaoguan's room carrying a bowl of porridge. He put the porridge on the table, wiped his hands on his apron, and said a little embarrassedly:
"This place is simple, but we have to eat breakfast. Come, drink this bowl of porridge."
Fu Xiaoguan looked at the fat man carefully again, and then he noticed that there were a few white hairs on the fat man's head.
"father,"
"Don't be so pretentious, just eat."
"good!"
The fat man smiled as he watched Fu Xiaoguan finish his bowl of porridge. He picked up his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I won't get involved in the fighting. Be careful. The enemy's bullets can really penetrate our armor."
"Well, I'm not going to the front line, so there's no danger."
"That's good. I'll go out for a while."
"Where are you going?"
"Take down that beehive."
The fat man turned around and walked out. His steps didn't seem to be staggering, but his thick back was slightly hunched.
Fu Xiaoguan retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and said to Bei Wangchuan and Ning Siyan behind him, "Let's go, let's go and take a look."
…
…
Naturally, there was a thin morning mist floating in the river valley of the Taier Mountains, birds were singing in the woods, and wild animals were wandering in the valley.
This was originally a picturesque place, but soon this beautiful picture was torn apart.
The 200,000-strong army of Asola from the Maurya Kingdom marched along the river valley.
The birds in the forest were startled and flew into the sky, and the beasts in the valley were frightened and fled in all directions. Their originally peaceful lives were broken like this, and they had no idea that this was just the beginning.
On the mountains on both sides, 50,000 troops of the Peacock Legion climbed up the rocks. They were struggling along the ridge towards the Hundred Flowers Valley. He Sandao, who was farther away, was watching quietly with a telescope, waiting for the battle in the valley to begin.
Two hours later, the enemy's main force of 200,000 entered the valley.
"Detonate...!" Guan Xiaoxi gave the order.
“Boom boom boom…”
The entire river valley, which was about ten miles long, suddenly made a deafening noise without any warning. In an instant, rocks flew everywhere and dust filled the sky.
The enemy's tragic roar suddenly rang out, countless limbs and broken bodies flew into the air, and even the thin mist was dyed red with blood.
“There’s an ambush…!”
"careful!"
"Hide towards the cliffs on both sides!"
The two generals under Asola were frightened out of their wits the moment the explosion sounded - a hidden mine!
The enemy actually laid a large number of hidden mines in this valley!
The Peacock Army also has this thing, but in very small quantities because it is extremely difficult to manufacture.
How many hidden mines has the enemy laid?
"Everyone, watch your step!"
Their shouting was useless. The 200,000-man army was in turmoil. It was horrible. Suddenly, a comrade was gone! Or a leg was suddenly broken!
Many unlucky soldiers even lost their lives after being hit by flying rocks!
How many people died from this guy?
No one knew. The surviving soldiers only knew that there were suddenly fewer people around them.
Those seriously injured were lying on the ground, howling like ghosts and wolves.
It's like a hell on earth!
They definitely didn't dare to go forward. Since the hidden mine had exploded, it was only safe to go backwards. All the survivors at this time did not receive orders from the generals. They did not run to the cliffs on both sides, but turned around and ran back.
Feng Xi held up the telescope and continued to watch calmly, "Everyone, chase...!"
One hundred thousand soldiers of the Second Army pounced down like tigers descending from the mountains.
As the battle in the valley began, He Sandao's troops on the ridges on both sides also moved towards the stopped enemy troops.
A moment later, gunshots were heard from the top of the ridge.
This time He Sandao did not confront the enemy head-on. The Marines hid in the trees. After killing several enemies, they flew to another tree. For a moment, the Peacock Army on the ridge seemed to be facing countless Daxia troops.
"Get down!"
"Found the enemy!"
"They're in the trees, shoot!"
"Bang bang bang..." Fierce gunfire rang out, some soldiers of the Daxia Army fell from the trees, and more soldiers of the Peacock Army died on the spot.
"Everyone, take cover and eliminate these damned ones!"
The battle on the ridge became intense in an instant, but the situation on the battlefield was still that the Marines maintained an absolute advantage.
They can fly!
The soldiers of the Peacock Army were not able to scurry around in the jungle as if they were walking on flat ground, so they could only passively take the beating.
Half an hour later, the Peacock Army not only did not advance a single step, but retreated more than ten feet, with thousands of people killed!
We can't do this. The main force in the valley will probably be defeated, and the enemy will probably chase us all the way to the base camp.
"retreat!"
"The front troops provide cover, and the rear troops quickly retreat back to the camp!"
The Peacock Army retreated like a tide. He Sandao did not pursue the enemy's rear army. He wanted to destroy the enemy's front army.
The sound of explosions in the river valley naturally reached Baihua Valley as well. Fu Xiaoguan stood by the pool and glanced toward the valley. "The battle has begun."
Chen Po couldn't wait any longer and said, "Your Majesty, I beg your command to fight!"
"Don't worry. We can eliminate 500,000 enemy troops, two Daxia army corps and 10,000 marines... or we can just wait for them to tire out and launch a surprise attack. They'll be enough."
"You and Wubing go and prepare. We must seize the food and fodder from the enemy camp. We are so many people and we depend on that food and fodder to survive."
"I obey your command!"
After the two men left, Fu Xiaoguan put his hands behind his back and looked at the valley again. According to the battle report he received, the Peacock Army was not that good.
It’s not that he overestimated the Peacock Army, but that he underestimated the Great Xia Army.
What if the Peacock Army has guns that can threaten the Great Xia Army?
Their individual soldier quality and weapons are several levels lower than those of the Daxia Army.
The Daxia Army has been through hundreds of battles and has a much better grasp of the battlefield than the Peacock Army, which has enjoyed years of peace.
Asola had no idea about the Daxia Army. He made a huge mistake by underestimating the Daxia Army's powerful combat capability.
Especially the hidden mines, this kind of precious stuff, the Daxia Army actually used it to cover the entire valley!
When Asora received the scout's report in the general's tent, he suddenly stood up with a pale face.
"The central army is preparing for defense, the enemy will surely take advantage of the situation and attack!"
"Order, all three armies retreat back to camp! I intend to fight the enemy on this plain!"
Three hours later, only 200,000 of the 300,000 people sent by the Peacock Army returned alive.
Without even touching the enemy, we lost a full 100,000 men!
Asola had no time to regret at this time, because the enemy in silver armor came right behind his remaining troops!
However, to his surprise, the enemy stopped at the entrance of the valley and did not take advantage of this best time of chaos to launch an attack.
Are they giving themselves a chance to reorganize their troops?
Could it be that they want to have a fair and open battle with me on this plain?
"Grand Marshal, please look up at the sky!"
