The God King died suddenly at the beginning, what can I do?

Chapter 500 The Battle of Pincer Mountain (3)

Ye Ming's troops suffered heavy casualties after being tricked by Shi Yongchun using the Fire Ox Formation.

After a night of rescue and rest, casualties were counted in the early hours of the morning: 225 people were killed, 186 were seriously injured, and more than 800 were slightly injured.

In just a few minutes, the casualties have exceeded the sum of the three legions of the Yuling Army in the past two days.

These are the elite direct descendants of the Prince's Mansion. Ye Ming was trembling with distress. Even at night, he couldn't help but want to kill them alone and take off Shi Yongchun's head.

In the end, Princess Zetian stopped him. Now Shi Yongchun must have taken precautions. Even if Ye Ming is a powerful cultivator, he will probably suffer a big loss.

Ye Ming had no choice but to hold back his overwhelming anger for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to seek revenge from Shi Yongchun later.

After a night's rest, Qin Yu offered to let Yu Lingjun take the lead and pass through this narrow passage to meet the army there.

Princess Zetian agreed. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Yuling Army is obvious to all.

So the First Legion, which had rested for two days, set off for the valley under the leadership of Chen Ming. This time, Qin Yu, Qin Xuan and Hong Lian all followed the team to prevent another accident from happening.

There are still some remaining defenders on the cliffs on both sides, but today's attack is obviously not as fierce as the previous two days, and it is basically impossible to cause any damage to the Yu Ling Army.

Shi Yongchun also knew that such a defense would not be cheap in the hands of the Yu Ling Army, and they would even suffer more in exchange for battle losses, so he only made a symbolic attack.

After the First Legion cleared the boulders blocking the road, they saw that the ground ahead was covered with burnt carcasses of rock cows.

They moved the bodies away and threw them on both sides of the road and continued to move forward. Halfway through, they heard another roar in the distance.

When Qin Yu took a look, Shi Yongchun repeated his old tricks again, and there was another group of running fire bulls.

"Is the Guizhou donkey exhausted?" Qin Yu smiled disdainfully, and then he loudly said: "The whole army is standing still!"

The soldiers of the first legion immediately stopped and stood by. Facing the fire bulls rushing towards them, although they were a little panicked, they did not lose their position.

Everyone believed that Qin Yu must have a way to resolve the crisis at hand, and the calmness he exuded infected everyone.

Qin Yu quickly came to the front of the opponent and looked at the fire bull running in the distance. He just lightly touched the sapphire ring on his hand.

Then a monstrous beast power emitted. Only beasts and high-level warriors can feel this beast power.

After the fire bulls on the opposite side felt it, they immediately stopped and turned around and ran away in a hurry.

When Shi Yongchun from behind saw this scene, he was filled with shock and confusion. What method did the other side use to scare away this crazy Yan Niu?

But the most important thing at the moment is to defend against this group of rebels who are about to pass through the canyon. Shi Yongchun immediately ordered his men to form an array and prepare to meet the enemy!

At that end of the canyon, Shi Yongchun deployed 6,000 troops, while the leading troops of the First Army were less than 1,000.

Shi Yongchun must seize the advantage of this terrain and take advantage of the inability of the opposing troops to deploy, so as to defeat the enemy with more troops and defeat them with fewer troops.

……

When the vanguard of the First Army was about to pass through the canyon, Chen Ming had already ordered the formation of a battle formation. There must be a large number of enemies ambushed in the dense forest opposite.

Sure enough, when they just stepped out of the canyon, countless arrow clusters, cannonballs, and slings all flew over.

Chen Ming quickly led the soldiers to charge forward. Someone had to withstand the first wave of attacks in order to buy time for the subsequent troops to pass through the canyon.

Qin Yu, Hong Lian, and Qin Xuan also immediately flew into the sky and released their auras. As long as they didn't take action, their strength would not be exposed, but they could use their auras to intimidate the opposing masters so that they would not dare to take action easily. battlefield

The battle situation on the battlefield below was completely beyond Qin Yu's expectation. It was completely one-sided. Hundreds of Yuling troops killed 6,000 people on the opposite side and threw away their helmets and armor. In less than an hour, the opposite side threw down all kinds of equipment and fled in a hurry.

Shi Yongchun had expected this. He had been observing the Yu Ling Army's operations on the front line for the past two days and knew the opponent's combat effectiveness, so he did not issue a death order to prevent his men from retreating.

Since you can't stop the other side, let's retreat first and then make plans. They have a total of 80,000 troops. There is no need to use thousands of people to fight here.

After receiving the news that the front troops had successfully captured the exit of the canyon, Princess Zetian immediately ordered the entire army to set off through the canyon.

However, because the canyon is too narrow, it took nearly a day for the 40,000 troops to pass through and reach another exit, and they will camp here tonight.

In this way, it took three days for the First Army to finally break through the first dangerous road of Niangzi Mountain.

However, the situation behind them is not smooth. Shi Xiaoren's troops will not let them go to the plains to fight. They will definitely ambush layer upon layer on the mountain roads behind them.

Because if we fight here, it can greatly slow down the advance of the First Army and buy time for King Lu's reinforcements.

Although Princess Zetian understood this, she still remained calm and steady. Instead of marching overnight, she chose to let the army rest for a night and sent out scouts to investigate the front.

Early the next morning, all the dispatched scouts had returned, and the enemy's defense situation was roughly understood.

It was almost as they had imagined. Several dangerous mountain roads were prepared, including some uphill sections. Many boulders were placed in advance.

But knowing that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, they still cannot stop their progress. Once King Lu's reinforcements arrive, they will be completely surrounded.

This time, Princess Zetian chose to divide her troops. The large mountainous area ahead was not suitable for concentrated marching. The 40,000 troops were divided into three routes to advance, because there were three passable routes in Niangzi Mountain.

The Yu Ling Army has the strongest combat effectiveness, so it naturally shoulders the responsibility of breaking through the middle. On the opposite side, Qian Mingxun, another deputy general under Shi Xiaoren, is defending the middle.

Shi Yongchun was originally supposed to defend the middle, but he already knew how powerful the Yu Ling Army was from the battles in the previous two days, so he found reasons to avoid the middle.

The other two lieutenants didn't understand the situation, so they agreed to his request.

But coincidentally, the right wing that Shi Yongchun was defending happened to be the route Ye Ming was going to take. This time Ye Ming could finally take revenge.

So far, the two sides have released more than 100,000 people in the originally inaccessible Nipper Mountain!

Princess Zetian issued a death order this time. All three groups of people must leave the Clipper Mountain within three days to gather!

This time is the calculated limit. Princess Zetian also knows that from the time they arrive in front of the Niangzi Mountain, reinforcements from King Lu will arrive in at most fifteen days.

They must capture Yuezhou City within this time! This task is very arduous, because for a normal person, it might take most of the time just to walk to Yuezhou City!

Fighting in mountainous areas is the specialty of the First Legion of the Yuling Army. You must know that the team of the First Legion is a group of rebels from Shen'an County. They originally relied on the mountainous areas to deal with the government and the army.

Therefore, Qin Yu once again asked the first army to take the lead and clear the way for the entire army.
