The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 388
Looking at the raging fire.Tuo Muxiong couldn't help trembling, this big fire immediately buried tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line.At this moment, he could vaguely hear the shrill screams behind the firewall.

The army has already retreated, avoiding the wall of fire far away.Now, the Eternal Army has a heart of fear for the Hengshan defense line, for fear that the Emperor will order to fight the Hengshan Army at all costs.Listening to the miserable voices of comrades caught in the flames, no one wants to be one of them.

The fire burned for half an hour before it gradually extinguished.At this time, the ditch had been baked black by the fire, and some indestructible iron sheets could still be seen neatly arranged, vaguely in the shape of a human being.On the edge of the ditch, the unburnt corpses curled up, emitting bursts of meaty aroma.

Tuo Muxiong looked at the tragic situation on the battlefield coldly, his eyes were red, but he was helpless at the moment.After some statistics, the number of casualties in this battle reached more than [-], and most of them were burned to death alive.

The Hengshan Army was also making casualty statistics, and immediately reported to Lin Yifan after summarizing.In this battle, the Hengshan Army suffered nearly [-] casualties, most of which were caused by the direct confrontation with the Eternal Army at the earth wall.

Regarding this, Lin Yifan was both sad and gratified. To be able to eat more than 2 Eternal Army in one fell swoop, this casualty is not bad.It's just that the Eternal Army is really strong. If it is a direct confrontation, the Hengshan Army is still slightly inferior.

"Very good, General Hou commanded properly and strategized, I am very pleased. I hope to continue, the Eternal Army won't last long." Lin Yifan nodded to the crowd and encouraged.

"Thank you for your praise, my lord. My subordinates dare not take credit for being proud." Hou Mingfeng secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly said humbly, "My lord, after this battle, the Eternal Army may be more cautious in its subsequent offensives. Our Hengshan Army is still in a weak position. Absolutely It cannot be taken lightly.”

"Haha, good, with General Hou here, our army will be as stable as a rock, and slowly wear down the strength of the Eternal Army." Lin Yifan smiled with satisfaction.

After the war, the two armies began to repair and prepare to fight again in the future.

In the evening, Tuo Muxiong finally received the news from Dingxi City.But after browsing, his face suddenly turned livid, he squeezed the information in his hands, and closed his eyes in pain.Dingxi City was defended, but the slaves rioted and burned all the logistics supplies.Now the 20 army carries only enough food and grass for more than half a month, and now it has been here for more than ten days, and there is less than ten days of food and grass left in the army.

After repeated trials over the past few days, as well as today's battle, he felt that he could not defeat the Hengshan Army in a short time.If you continue to confront them, you will be the one who loses.

Tuo Muxiong paced back and forth, hesitating in his heart.Fighting may waste food and grass, and eventually the army will collapse by itself.If they retreated, the troops' morale would be in turmoil. If the Hengshan Army took advantage of the situation and pursued them, they would collapse and be out of control.

After hesitating for a long time, Tuo Muxiong finally stood still, a trace of pain and determination flashed in his eyes.

On the second day, the Eternal Army came out here and came to the battlefield.Tuo Muxiong looked gloomy at the waiting formation on the opposite side, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.But at this moment, he still ordered the army to attack the Hengshan Army. This time, they made preparations for fire prevention. Everyone wrapped the sand with their clothes, and their shields were soaked in water overnight.Charge to the trench again.

After being baptized by arrow rain three times, the army rushed to the ditch here and poured bags of sand into the ditch.After a while, the trench was slowly filled.The giant shield soldiers held up their damp wooden shields and rushed towards the earth wall in fear.

Sure enough, when everyone rushed to the earth wall, they saw flame-throwing guns protruding out one by one, and tongues of flame gushing out.The giant shield soldiers gathered together immediately, held their shields high, withstood the scorching flames, and rushed towards the wooden wall with big strides.

When Hou Mingfeng saw it, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly, and then he sneered and ordered: "The grenadiers come out and support the front line quickly."

With an order, the grenadiers hiding behind the catapult immediately assembled and advanced, came behind the spearmen, put rows of boxes on the ground, and carefully took out the explosives.Then ignite the fire, and operate quickly and neatly under the command of the general.After a while, the fuse was ignited. Seeing the continuous spread of sparks, everyone present was extremely nervous, for fear that the gunpowder would explode suddenly.

"Get ready, throw!" Following the order, the grenadier immediately stepped forward and threw them vigorously, and the explosives flew out of the earth wall one after another and landed in the crowded crowd.

"All squat down!" Whether it was the grenadiers or the spearmen, they squatted on the ground in unison.

But in an instant, countless loud noises came from outside the earth wall, shaking the ground constantly.The soil flew together with the flesh and blood, and landed on the bodies of the Hengshan army.There were even earth walls that could not withstand the huge impact and collapsed.

The Eternal Army who charged in front suffered heavy casualties, and they were blown up by the explosives, wailing all over.Before the army behind could react, the Shenji Battalion, which received the order earlier, had already completed its formation. Rocket vehicles and throwing poles were fired continuously. The rockets shot into the army with thick smoke, and the explosives were thrown out. There was an explosion in the army.The entire battlefield was filled with smoke and chaos.

Tuo Muxiong looked at the gunpowder's power fiercely, but quietly ordered [-] cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield and gather to the camp to join the [-] elite infantry stationed in the camp.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Tuo Muxiong gritted his teeth, mounted a horse, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

The [-] troops swept away all the supplies in the camp, quickly withdrew from the place, and marched towards Dingxi City.

At this time, nearly one hundred thousand soldiers and horses trapped in the battlefield did not know what was going on behind them, and they still rushed forward tenaciously without the order of the God Emperor.

Not long after, the soldiers of the Eternal Army finally noticed the change in the rear. There was no one in the entire camp, and even the flag of the God Emperor quietly disappeared.

"The God Emperor has escaped! We have been abandoned!" The desperate Eternal Army suddenly fell into chaos, and retreated regardless of the battle. When they rushed into the camp, they found that there was nothing in the camp.

"God, how could His Majesty the Emperor abandon us? How could he do this!"

"He is a coward. We are betrayed. Run, we must not wait to die here."

"Run away, the Hengshan Army is coming!" . . . .

After a lot of quarreling, the Eternal Army immediately collapsed and ran westward.

At this moment, the Hengshan Army also discovered the change of the Eternal Army. After some investigation, they finally realized that the Eternal God Emperor had escaped. The Hengshan Army won this battle!

Lin Yifan stood up in surprise, he never expected that the Eternal Army would be defeated like this.Is the rescue battle in Shazhou coming to an end?

"My lord, there must have been changes in Dingxi City that forced the Eternal Army to retreat." Hou Mingfeng waved his hands excitedly, "It is very likely that the Dingxi Army succeeded, Dingxi City fell into our hands, and the Eternal Army without food and supplies Only then had to resort to tail-docking to survive.”

"That's true." Lin Yifan's eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't hide his excitement, "Now that the enemy army is fleeing, we should attack immediately and eat as much as we can."

"Your subordinates have exactly such intentions." Hou Mingfeng nodded, and immediately ordered [-] cavalry to chase down the defeated soldiers first, and then the army came out in full force, heading towards Dingxi City.

During the battle, the Eternal Army retreated all the way, and was wiped out by the Hengshan Army for more than [-] people, and captured more than [-] people, and the rest all fled.

After running for several days, relying on [-] cavalrymen to stop the progress of the Hengshan Army, Tuo Muxiong finally returned to Dingxi City with the remnant army.

After Tuo Muxiong, who was in panic all day long, joined Ang Kui, there were only about [-] troops left.After this defeat, Tuo Muxiong's heart was full of overwhelming anger, and he was about to vent his anger on the slaves he had captured again, but he was dissuaded by Geri Lang. Only by keeping these slaves can the Hengshan Army be slowed down.Once killed, the revenge-hungry Hengshan army will definitely pursue and kill them all the way, which will only increase unnecessary casualties of their own army.

It was only then that Tuo Muxiong calmed down, knowing that it was not appropriate to make any more grudges at this time, so he had to put down his butcher knife angrily, and after searching the city, he led his army to withdraw from Dingxi City and retreated all the way to Tianmenguan.
