C1753 An Attack from the Sky
C1753 An Attack from the Sky
Every explosion would take away the lives of some people. Some of the Song Dynasty soldiers who were walking at the front had already collapsed, and wanted to escape. However, they were killed on the spot. The Song Dynasty soldiers behind them... They could only continue to walk unwillingly, praying in their hearts that they wouldn't be killed by the explosion.
Although the ones who died were all soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but... Gu Li's facial expression was still very ugly. After all, he was the commander of this troop. The continuous death of soldiers was his incompetence. Before this, he had looked down on the army of West Xia. In the end, before he had even met them, he had already suffered a great loss. How could the proud Gu Li accept this?
Gu Li was in a good mood. The official of Song Dynasty was in an even worse mood. Because those who had died were his men. Although it wasn't his last adventure, but... After all, he was the one who brought these soldiers out. If the losses were too great... He wouldn't be able to report it when he returned.
Originally, he would have been able to pass through the valley in half an hour. However, the whole team took three hours to pass. And in the whole team, wails were also everywhere. That was after the mines had exploded. Those who were lucky enough not to die were all injured. They kept wailing in the team.
The morale of the entire team was also extremely low. Before they even saw the enemy, their side had already suffered heavy losses.
"How many people have we lost?" After leaving the valley, Gu Li heaved a sigh of relief. That flash was too depressing. No one knew. Would he be killed in the next second, especially the person walking at the front? They had been crying all along. Those people's expressions... It also affected the morale of the entire team.
The losses were quickly calculated. Within these three hours, in this short valley, the Song Liao Allied Army had lost nearly 10,000 people. These men were either killed by the explosion, or injured. They had lost all their combat strength.
Of course, most of these ten thousand people were soldiers of Song Dynasty. At the beginning, dozens of soldiers of Liao Kingdom were killed by the explosion. Later on, they were safe and didn't suffer any injuries or injuries.
"When I see those soldiers of West Xia, I will kill them all!" Gu Li said angrily, although most of them were soldiers of Song Dynasty. He did not care at all. In fact, he could even weaken the Song Dynasty further. He was still happy to see this happen.
However, if this situation were to happen under his command... Gu Li would be dissatisfied and angry. Didn't this mean that he was incompetent in commanding? This was the West Xia army giving him a hard slap in the face. So... Even if the ones who died were the soldiers of Song Dynasty, he was still in a bad mood.
"That's right. When we conquer the city of West Xia, we will not seal the sword for three days!" The officials of Song Dynasty were also gnashing their teeth in anger. They had not even met the enemy yet, and they had already lost so much. How could he not be angry?
"En!" Gu Li nodded his head, agreeing to this decision. He would not seal his sword for three days. That was to let his soldiers do whatever they wanted in the city of West Xia. This was a tradition of theirs. Now, they wanted to take revenge on Western Xia. He would not disagree.
The group continued to advance. Perhaps they had left the valley. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. The space in the valley was only so big, and the path they could choose was only so wide. Therefore, they would be blown up if they passed by it.
And when they went outside, there would be more places they could walk. Naturally, the danger would decrease.
However, the people of West Xia did not seem to want them to move quickly. Along the way, there were still sounds of explosions from time to time. Even if they did not take the main road, they should take some remote paths. They would still be hit by the explosions.
The location of the other party's firearm was very strange. There was no pattern at all that could work. One on this side, one on the other. Maybe the person in front was not hit, but the person behind... Unfortunately, he had stepped on it. This way, the person behind him... It was also not safe.
Because of this, it wasn't just the soldiers of Song Dynasty who died this time. The soldiers of Liao Kingdom were also losing their numbers. Some of the officers were already dead. They hadn't even started fighting yet. Gu Li was forced to appoint a few officers.
Gu Li's face had always been gloomy. He looked towards the direction of the Western Xia City in the distance. It seemed like flames were spurting out from his mouth. After that, he realized that he was in a difficult situation right now. He had no other way. The place where the enemy had buried the firearms. There was no pattern at all. Unless they turned around and went back... Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't be able to avoid being hit by the explosion.
It was obviously impossible to turn around and go back. Therefore, Gu Li could only grit his teeth and let the team continue forward.
"It seems like the things we prepared for them have worked." Huang Feng stood on top of the city wall and laughed as he heard the faint sound of explosions in the distance.
One should know that he had exchanged for quite a number of mines. From the valley to the bottom of the city... There were mines everywhere, and in this era, there were no equipment for mining. Therefore, if those Song Liao Allied Army wanted to reach this place, they had to sacrifice their lives. The casualties of the soldiers were only one aspect, and the morale of the enemy's troops was... After all these things had happened, the morale of the enemy's troops would definitely drop. This was what Huang Feng wanted to see.
"Those mines of yours are almost unsolvable in this era." Bai Xiaorou said.
Even though it could be said that horses could run in front of them. To trigger the thunder, but in this era, the value of a horse... The value of a horse was even higher than that of a soldier. Those Song Liao Allied Army... They would rather have some soldiers die than some horses die.
Therefore, if they wanted to safely pass through those paths, they could only use their lives to fill in the gaps.
"Unfortunately, those mines don't seem to be very expensive. But... I spent quite a bit of money to exchange for so many mines at once. This won't do. Once I defeat this Song Liao Allied Army, I will definitely fight my way to the Song Dynasty. Fight my way to the Liao Kingdom and make them pay for it! " Huang Feng said.
In order to win the war smoothly, Huang Feng exchanged for a lot of mines. These mines cost a lot of money. Because of this, Huang Feng thought of invading Song Liao and Song Jia. He wanted to plunder their wealth to make up for his losses.
"If these six hundred thousand people are destroyed here, the two countries will truly be finished." Bai Xiaorou said.
These 600,000 troops might not be all of the armies of the two countries. Once the 600,000 troops were completely wiped out here... The remaining strength of the Song and Liao countries would not be able to withstand the attack of West Xia.
As for the others, they knew that Huang Feng wanted to resolve this matter thoroughly. After resolving this problem, he would definitely wipe out the forces of the two countries. Otherwise, once they left, the two countries would join forces. West Xia would really be finished.
In the evening, the Western Xia Army soldiers standing on the city walls finally saw the Song and Liao armies in the distance and immediately became nervous.
However, many people quickly felt that something was not right. Because, the Song Liao Allied Army in their field of vision was not as aggressive as they had imagined. Instead, it was like a team that had lost a war, without any essence, spirit, and spirit. It looked like a lone ranger.
Everyone was somewhat puzzled. Only Huang Feng and Bai Xiaorou knew why. After going through such a long mine, no matter if it was the mentality or spirit of the Song Liao Allied Army, these people who were not killed by the explosion... At this moment, their mood and spirit wouldn't be good either.
The Song Liao Allied Army didn't launch an attack immediately. Instead, they set up camp outside. There were mines everywhere along the way. They didn't believe it. They couldn't find any at the bottom of this city. It wasn't easy for them to reach this place. They didn't have the courage to take a trip to the minefield below the city. They had to set up camp first.
Gu Li and Song Dynasty official walked to the front of the camp and looked at the city from afar. They said fiercely, "Tomorrow, I will take down this city. None of the people inside will be left alive!"
"Yes, none of them will be left alive." The official of Song Dynasty agreed. He was in a sorry state right now. Although he hadn't been hit by the explosion on the way there, however, there was an explosion not far away from him. He was also affected by the explosion. He was injured, and coupled with the horse's fright, he fell to the ground. Thus, he looked very pathetic.
Along the way, apart from the ten thousand people who were lost in the valley, they also lost five to six thousand of my soldiers. Some were killed in the explosion, and some were injured. Anyway, I can't go to the battlefield for the time being.
The two of them also understood that the one in front of them... It was definitely a minefield array. However, they also felt that... This was already the final lightning array. As long as they passed this barrier... None of the people in the city in front of them would be able to live.
The sky had darkened. After the torturous journey, the Song Liao Allied Army was exhausted. It didn't take long for them to fall asleep one by one.
However, Huang Feng obviously wouldn't let them sleep peacefully. Not long after those soldiers fell asleep, the sound of an explosion rang out once again. This time, it was an explosion that happened directly in their camp. Instantly, everyone woke up.
"The thing that exploded came from the world." Someone shouted.
Then, everyone looked at the sky. However, the sky was too dark. They couldn't see anything, and the bombs continued to fall from the sky. One by one... And because of the color of the sky... They had no idea where the bomb would land, so... They couldn't even dodge it.
