On September 25, the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar, at the hour of Yin, there was a heavy rain in Pingling Mountain.
There was no other sound in Beishan Palace except the sound of rain.
Even the lights were still on only in dozens of lookout towers in all directions.
The four Excalibur regiments are now at four locations on the mountain, and the battle will start from the regiment in the south.
Zhong Dachui had already given instructions to his three battalion commanders, and all the combat plans had been passed down to every soldier.
Thirty soldiers from the second platoon of the third company of the first battalion, led by three squad leaders, quietly moved towards the three sentry posts on this side.
On such a night, in such rain, in such a desolate mountain, no one expected that the enemy would come, but the soldiers on these sentries led by Gong Shenchang were still standing there in high spirits, which surprised Fu Xiaoguan who was looking into the distance with a telescope.
This man actually trained some good soldiers. No wonder Peng Chengwu suffered such a big loss.
Then he saw a neat night patrol team, about fifty people in each team, about a hundred meters apart.
They wore conical hats and carried wind-killing lanterns, but their hands still held the hilts of the swords at their waists.
This is a tough battle!
Three squad leaders and thirty soldiers avoided patrols and quietly sneaked to the bottom of the watchtower. Three soldiers climbed up the tower, and seven soldiers were on guard below.
They successfully killed the enemies on the watchtower without giving them a chance to warn them.
Three battalions rushed in and split into three groups to attack the enemy troops on night patrol.
Taking advantage of such a rainy night, they used the crossbows and bayonets in their hands to shoot and kill three teams of enemy troops on night patrol, but were discovered by a secret sentry.
Then a quick whistle sounded sharply here. When a crossbow arrow shot and killed the sentry, his whistle had already alarmed the enemy in the marching tent.
"Enemy attack!"
"Meet the enemy!"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry…!”
“Warning, warning…!”
All kinds of sounds rang out in the heavy rain. Lights were lit in all the barracks in this area, and then a dense crowd of enemies rushed out with knives in hand and disheveled clothes.
Zhong Dachui cursed fiercely: "Damn it!"
He took out his grenade and threw it into the enemy army. With a bang, the battle began.
The other two regiments launched a surprise attack after hearing the explosion. For a moment, the shouts and cries of killing shook the sky, as if covering up the sound of the heavy rain.
Only three groups have not moved.
The Third Regiment where Wang Xiaozhuang was located was waiting, waiting for the enemy to be defeated and flee in his direction.
There were bursts of hand-fire and thunder sounds on the top of the mountain, as well as dense gunfire. It seemed that the fighting was very intense, but the Third Regiment could only listen.
This is fucking terrible. Wang Xiaozhuang is in a lot of trouble. What if the enemy doesn’t retreat in this direction? Wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain?
But this was the devil's order, he didn't dare to disobey, and could only wait here foolishly.
Shitou from the Fourth Regiment rushed in the front, followed closely by the three battalion commanders. He took in the situation and gestured to the Second Battalion Commander, "Gather all the grenades and bombs in the hands of the Second Battalion. Follow me, Second Battalion, charge and blow them up. The First and Third Battalions, cover with your guns and finish these bastards off!"
So, using his hands and mines to clear a path, Shi Tou led the team directly into the depths of the camp.
Under the coordinated attack of guns, handguns and thunder, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Gong Shenchang were no different from the 20,000 elite troops of the barbarians.
They broke camp in fear, not knowing where their commander was.
Some generals shouted at the top of their lungs, but under the cover of heavy rain and the roar of thunder, no one could hear their cries.
The scene was a complete mess!
Gong Shenchang woke up from his dream. He put on his clothes, picked up his sword, and walked out of the tent under the protection of his personal guards. What he saw was a scene of chaos and disorder.
"They've even come to my lair?"
"Is this Peng Chengwu's army?"
No one could answer him, so he shouted, "Come on, follow me and kill the enemy!"
Today is the auspicious day for him to ascend the throne!
These ignorant people actually gave him such a thing!
Gong Shenzhang was furious. Just as he was about to fly, Shi An arrived and grabbed him. "Your Majesty, don't take any risks. We have an army of over 100,000 strong. They will surely rush into a flame. It's just that the enemy came so suddenly. In half an hour, our army will be fully assembled, and victory will be ours."
The smiling fox Liu Jiumei also came out. She frowned and looked around. There was no enemy behind her, and she couldn't see clearly what the situation was in front of her.
She summoned the Five Vajra Kings and said, "Bring your personal guards to support us. We must destroy the enemy as soon as possible. Today is the day when His Majesty ascends the throne. We must not miss the opportunity!"
The five great Vajra took their orders and left. Liu Jiumei came to the side of the headmaster Gong and said, "It's raining so hard and the battle is so small. Your Majesty, please go back. I will warm up a pot of wine for you. Just wait for good news."
Gong Shenzhang thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he patted Shi An on the shoulder and said, "Shi An, keep an eye on me. If you have good news, please let me know as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty Shi An obeys your orders!"
Captain Gong turned and returned to the tent. The lights in the tent were still on. Shi An looked at the battle in front of him for a while, but he couldn't understand it, so he looked back again...
The two shadows in the tent were actually fighting!
Your Majesty is in good spirits!
Ninth sister is so scheming!
I'm here getting wet in the rain!
He smiled sinisterly, but did not leave. He cast his gaze back to the battlefield ahead, then frowned.
He had thought the battle would get farther and farther away, but now he noticed that in just a short period of time, the battle had gotten much closer to him.
How many enemies came?
What are those explosions?
I didn’t hear these two sounds when fighting with Peng Chengwu before. Could it be that Yu Chao has some new weapons?
He gradually felt uneasy, and at this moment, he saw Jingshui Jin Gang running back like crazy, covered in blood!
"What's going on?"
"This is fucking terrible! We can't fight! We can't fight! Tell Brother Gong to retreat immediately!"
Shi An grabbed the Pure Water King Kong and asked viciously, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?!"
"Dead, all fucking dead. I'm the only one left of the Five Vajra Kings. An army of over a hundred thousand is in complete chaos. The enemy dropped their heavenly fire, and with a loud bang, a large number of them died. The Four Vajra Kings were flying in the sky with a group of martial arts masters, and then we heard a few bangs... and then they fell down, all fucking dead!"
Shi An's heart sank. "Is it Peng Chengwu's army?"
"That's bullshit! It's the Excalibur Army!"
"What kind of army is the Excalibur Army?"
"How would I know? Go ahead and listen! Get out of the way! I'm going to take Brother Gong away!"
The defeat was like a tide, and countless Tiandao soldiers retreated. Shi An's whole body was cold.
How long has this battle been going on?
He looked up at the dark sky and let the heavy rain hit his face.
It was still dark that day, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops!
Just lost like this for no apparent reason?
