Chapter 848: Onslaught on Xiaogu Mountain

Yun Zhao's appearance made the soldiers of Anqing Camp excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They raised their shields to resist the rain-like feather arrows and hail-like stones. They howled upwards. On the mountain road, there were blood stains everywhere, and there were corpses everywhere, and bloody footprints were taken one after another. The soldiers of Anqing Camp who were continuing to rush out of the village wall.

The first group of soldiers who rushed up frantically chopped the village wall with their big swords in their hands. If they couldn't cut a few times, they would be shot down by feather arrows from inside. However, they also left deep knife marks on the village walls. These village walls were piled with wood, and sand and stones were filled with insides. If the wooden stakes were cut off, the sand and stones would capsize.

The second group of soldiers rushed up again. This time, the soldiers raised the Demon-Subduing Crossbow. The slanted hillside could not be placed. Several soldiers knelt on the hillside and carried the heavy Demon-Subduing Crossbow on their shoulders. With the sound of roars, the powerful force of the Demon-Subduing Crossbow arrow penetrated the not-so-thick village wall, and even the soldiers who were defending inside were exposed.

The huge power of the Demon-Subduing Crossbow fired also made the soldiers carrying it cry and fall down. Everyone's shoulders were almost broken at the moment of launching. The heavy Demon-Subduing Crossbow pressed on them, and many soldiers died on the spot, but more soldiers rushed forward and put the Demon-Subduing Crossbow on their shoulders again and filled them with crossbow arrows. With the whistling sound, Demon-Subduing Crossbows roared out again.

The thin village wall could not withstand the waves of the Demon-Subduing Crossbow, and fell down one after another. The soldiers of the North Envoy cheered and climbed up the collapsed village wall and stepped inside. A fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out immediately.

The most direct consequence of Yun Zhao's appearance was that Anqing Camp attacked two small peaks at the edge of Xiaogu Mountain in one go, which was the first victory.

When attacking such a defensive position, the first one is often the most difficult to fight. As long as you hit one, it is like breaking the window paper. The remaining ones may be more tightly defended, but it will often be easier to fight. Su Dingfang happily came to report the good news to Yun Zhao.

"It's not that simple!" Yun Zhao shook his head and frowned as the soldiers of Anqing Camp who were cleaning the battlefield, packing the bodies of the dead soldiers and carrying the injured soldiers.

"Dingfang, has the casualties counted?"

"Not yet, counting!" Su Dingfang felt a little embarrassed. A general should have known these statistics first after the war ended.

"Let's go, let's go to the wounded barracks to see it. It's more intuitive and reflects many situations in this battle!" Yun Zhao turned to a horse.

There was still some distance away from the wounded barracks, and the tragic sounds of the wounded barracks could be clearly heard. Su Dingfang was even more embarrassed. He looked at Yun Zhao secretly and saw that he had no strange behavior at all. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he said in his heart that the man was bleeding and did not cry. These bastards were so angry that they were slaughtering pigs and sheep after being injured. It was really embarrassing.

As soon as he walked into the wounded camp, the first thing that caught his eye was the rows of bodies of the dead with white cloth on the ground, and some were constantly carrying in. In the moment Yun Zhao entered the camp, dozens of bodies were carried in, some were incomplete. Then the soldiers who came in squatted there with bunch of pick-up limbs or heads, trying to make a complete body for their comrades.

There was a choking sound coming from time to time.

After stopping for a while, Yun Zhao strode into the barracks of the wounded soldiers. The doctors who followed the army were sweating profusely. More than a dozen doctors who followed the army could not get over. The barracks were filled with blood, stench, and the screams of the soldiers.

"Prince!" A doctor was startled when he saw Yun Zhao standing at the barracks door and shouted subconsciously.

With this scream, the screams in the barracks came to an abrupt end. All the wounded soldiers bit their lips, endured the severe pain desperately, and even squeezed out a smile on their faces.

"It hurts!" Yun Zhao stood in the barracks, waved the whip in his hand, and shouted: "You were injured by fighting bravely on the battlefield. There is nothing to be shy about. When I was injured, I was still so sad that I screamed at the top of my throat. I just felt that every time I screamed, the pain would be lighter!"

"Prince, have you been injured too?" asked a soldier with a harsh injury.

Yun Zhao laughed loudly and pulled open his robe, standing in the middle of the barracks naked. Looking at the scars on Yun Zhao's chest and back, everyone was shocked. "See, I have suffered countless injuries like you. When I go to the battlefield to fight, there are no one who is not injured. After recovering from the wound, I will be a hero again. Brothers, doctors are too busy. You should call me, or make some fun for yourself and relieve some pain."

"Yes!" the soldiers in the barracks shouted.

"It's great!" Yun Zhao laughed, "I screamed so vigorously, it seems that it won't take long before you can follow me again. I'm waiting to see you again on the battlefield."

"Follow the prince, even if he dies without regrets!" The soldiers looked at Yun Zhao, who was naked, and at this moment, it seemed that the injuries on his body were no longer so painful.

As the soldiers cheered, Yun Zhao's face darkened, "I heard that many soldiers actually put the Demon-Suppression Crossbow on their shoulders and fired it?"

Su Dingfang nodded and said proudly: "Yes, prince, the terrain there is no way to set up the demon-subduing crossbow to fire, so the soldiers came up with this painful method, which was very effective. After a few rounds of shooting, they shot down the wall built by the other party with wood."

"How many people have been hurt for this?"

Listening to Yun Zhao's tone was a little unkind, Su Dingfang hesitated for a moment, "About a hundred people were injured by the Demon-Suppressing Crossbow, and more than a dozen were dead!"

Yun Zhao took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress his anger, "Soldiers can use their shoulders to build a magic crossbow. Why didn't you think that the craftsmen in the army would have such a rack? There is so much wood here. Is it hard to make such a rack? The soldiers' eyes were red, and they couldn't think of this. As generals, they couldn't think of this? I'm very proud to let the soldiers make a human shelf? "

Su Dingfang stared at Yun Zhao in a daze, but he did not expect it.

"This is the fault of the general. After understanding the terrain, you should think of how to effectively use the sharp weapon in our hands, which actually made soldiers with red eyes pay their lives at the cost of their lives. What's so proud of? The soldiers should be rewarded. You, those who are generals, should be punished!" Yun Zhao roared in a low voice.

Su Dingfang's face turned red and white, and looked at the angry Yun Zhao and knelt down on one knee, "The prince is the fault of the general. The general immediately ordered the craftsmen in the camp to make the decision overnight so that they could effectively use the Demon-Subduing Crossbow and Thunder Fire in the subsequent attack!"

"Get up!" Yun Zhao said angrily: "Dingfang, entering the south to fight is very different from ours in the north. There is not even a decent mountain in the north, but here, the small Gu Mountains and Dayang Mountains in front of you are not considered a steep mountain. You should use your brain more and don't always hold on to everything in the past. Start from scratch and learn as a recruit."

"I will follow the prince's teachings!" Su Dingfang said sternly.

"Let's encourage each other!" Yun Zhao sighed, "I, like you, have to learn while fighting. The next battle will inevitably be very difficult. Congliang has made up his mind to fight with us here. Don't be anxious. How to achieve the greatest result with the lowest cost is the ultimate goal. What is the battle loss ratio today? It's time to count it?"

Su Dingfang turned around and waved, and a deputy general ran over quickly.

"Report to the prince, our troops have killed 538 people in battle, injured 812 people, killed more than 600 enemies, captured more than 200 people." After pausing, he continued: "These two hundred people captured are now in the injured camp."

Yun Zhao nodded, "It's almost a one-to-two battle loss comparison. Dingfang, if you continue to fight like this, even if you take down Xiaogushan and Dayangshan, how many troops can you still have in Anqing Camp? Use your brain more!"

Yun Zhao did not want Su Dingfang to attack wildly, resulting in a large number of casualties in the Northern Expedition Army, but he did not want to tell Su Dingfang that his focus of his attack was not on the Xiaogushan area. If Su Dingfang understood this, there would be some slackness in the attack, and the general's emotions would affect others. Sun Chuanliang on the opposite side was a veteran on the battlefield. Yun Zhao did not want him to see the flaws. At least before he took down Yulong Mountain and seized Fukang, he did not want the other party to know. Therefore, he could only give Su Dingfang some suggestions, hoping that Su Dingfang could come up with a way to avoid more soldiers' losses during the attack. I believe that after his fierce words and harsh words today, Su Dingfang would be more cautious in the attack.

It has been three days since he issued an order to Ma You. Yun Zhao was waiting for Ma You to bring him good news. The military camp on Yulong Mountain is not small, and it is even more steep than Xiaogu Mountain. However, the thousand enemy troops stationed there are Xiangzhou Town Army. When he fiercely attacked Xiaogu Mountain, the soldiers of Yulong Mountain must be slackened. This is Ma You's opportunity. Yun Zhao also wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the capabilities of the army led by Ma You. The Fourth Battalion has crossed the Cangjiang River today.

After a few days of repair, you can start the attack, but before that, Yun Zhao hoped that Ma You could take down the Yulong Mountain Military Village and Yulong Mountain, the Fourth Battalion could drive straight in and approach Fukang. Taking down Fukang, he cut off the connection between Xiaogu Mountain and Dayang Mountain and Xiangzhou. Yun Zhao turned around and looked at the towering Xiaogu Mountain and Dayang Mountain further away, and smiled coldly. Perhaps, Sun Chuanliang would still be stubborn and stick to it, but Peng Zhongjun, would he not want his Xiangzhou anymore?
