Chapter 1036 Turning Point
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Sun Ren snuggled in Chen Chu's arms and asked softly. I am afraid that only Chen Chu can see his gentle and lovely appearance. At this time, the two of them were in the small garden of Sun Ren's bedroom, and there were only them. It was a rare world of two people.
Sun Ren asked in surprise: "Brother is worried about those Ross barbarians."
Chen Chu smiled and couldn't help asking: "Xiangxiang, why do you say that the Ross is a barbarian?"
Sun Ren wrinkled his beautiful nose and said for granted: "I heard that Ross eats raw meat and drinks blood, wears tree bark, and lives in caves. Isn't such a person a barbarian?"
Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, pinched Sun Ren's waist, and asked with a smile: "Who did you hear this?"
Sun Ren replied foolishly: "Mr. Li said that when he taught Xiao Susu! Isn't that right?"
Chen Chu shook his head, scraped Sun Ren's nose, and smiled and said, "Of course it's not right! Although Mr. Li is knowledgeable, he is probably not aware of these folk geography knowledge!" After a pause, he murmured quite seriously: "It seems that you have to find all teachers in all aspects for Su Su and the others!"
"Brother, what do you think of Ross?" Sun Ren asked with some dissatisfaction.
Sun Ren looked surprised, "Brother, your words are really surprising!"
Sun Ren nodded, "Brother, what you said makes sense!" Then he remembered something and asked in confusion: "Brother, it's because of these that you are worried about the war in the north." He paused and continued, "Looking at the performance of the Ross in Japan, it's not so good."
Chen Chu shook his head and said seriously: "Although the Ross Army in Japan has 200,000 people, these people are all coalition forces of the tribes in the northeast of Ross, and are not the main force of Ross' headquarters! Of course, the combat power cannot be compared with the real Ross elite! Zhang He and his friends face the main force of the headquarters of 250,000, of which the 50,000 Wild Wolf Legion is one of the four aces of Ross! Although I am full of confidence in Zhang He, Jia Xu and my soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, I still have some concerns in my heart!"
Sun Ren snuggled on Chen Chu's chest and said softly: "Brother, I believe you will receive the news of a great victory in the army soon!"
The infantry of the Third Legion, which blocked the main force of the Ross Army, had been fighting bloody battles with the enemy for nearly a day, and the blood-red sunset was gradually setting down the mountain. The entire battlefield was still terrifying, and the soldiers on both sides were still fighting bloody battles without any intention of stopping. The corpses of the soldiers on both sides covered the wild and filled the blood, and the blood dyed the entire ground blood red.
"General, we are almost unable to hold it down!" A blood-covered general ran to Gao Lan and panted to report the report. Gao Lan tightened his eyebrows, glanced at the hellish battlefield, and said decisively: "No matter what, we must hold it up!" He lifted his sword and ran towards the battlefield, and shouted: "Everyone comes with me! Fight to the end of the blood!!" Hundreds of personal soldiers shouted fiercely and followed closely.
The battle lasted until the moon was in the middle of the sky. The moon tonight seemed to be splashed with blood, which was so red that it made people feel palpitations.
The fierce battle continued, and the Ross's crazy offensive finally gradually weakened.
The sound of the Ross horns suddenly rang out weakly, and the surging Ross army tide gradually retreated.
The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Under the blood-red moonlight, corpses were everywhere. The fire of war was jumping among the pile of corpses, just like ghost fires in the underworld.
Gao Lan sat on the ground, looking exhausted, and the heavy armor was damaged in many places. Fortunately, his body was not damaged, and his whole body seemed to have just been caught out of the blood pool. The soldiers who were still alive were also panting, feeling that they were still alive, and they couldn't help but feel glad.
Gao Lan glanced at the tragic scene in front of him and couldn't help but murmur, "Damn! This battle is a battle!" A general rushed to Gao Lan and reported the report in panting: "General, the number of casualties has been roughly counted!" Gao Lan couldn't help but jumped and nodded. The general swallowed and said, "Our army had more than 40,000 casualties, of which the number of casualties in the Northern Xianbei Army was about 15,000; and the number of casualties in the Ross Army was about 40,000."
Gao Lan was otherwise expected, but was still shocked by the number of casualties. He paused and said, "Appoint the less injured brothers to be alert in two parts, and send a team of troops to transport the seriously injured brothers to the camp!" "Yes!" The general held his fists and agreed. When he was about to go down, he was stopped by Gao Lan. Gao Lan asked, "Is there any information about the camp?" The general shook his head. Gao Lan couldn't help but feel tight, and waved his hand to the general. The general clasped his fists and left quickly.
Gao Lan stood up with a big knife, glanced at the sea of blood in front of him, and looked at the continuous lights on the other side of the river, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he said to himself: "General Zhang, you have to hurry up!"
At about this, the Qin army, who had been attacking the fortress for a whole day, shouted together, with a strong sense of excitement. The Qin army soldiers swarmed in from the city gate and fought bravely to kill the enemy. At this time, the situation was overwhelming, the defenders of Ross were making the final stubborn resistance.
The Qin army successively broke through several key points in the fortress with a rapid offensive, divided the remaining fortress defenders into several parts, and then launched a final attack on these remaining Ross defenders.
The battle finally came to an end in the middle of the night. Kazakov, the guard of the Ross Langtou Mountain Fortress, was beheaded, and more than 10,000 Ross remnants lay down their weapons and surrendered.
"General, military advisor, Ross' army was annihilated, our army occupied the Langtoushan Fortress!" The messenger reported to the two with excitement.
The two of them couldn't help but lit their eyes, and Zhang He immediately ordered: "Cleaning the battlefield immediately and being on guard at the same time, scouts from all teams continue to be alert around!" "Yes!"
Jia Xu said to Zhang He: "We should also send Gao Lan immediately, so that he can immediately retreat to Langtou Mountain Fortress overnight!"
Zhang He nodded, and then issued an order as Jia Xu said. After a while, a carrier pigeon and several scouts headed towards Gao Lan and their place.
"By the way, what do Zang Ba do?" Zhang He asked.
Jia Xu said: "We have no chance to annihilate the two tribes in the valley now. We can only withdraw the nomadic militia and the Liece clan army to the Langtou Mountain Fortress!" Langtou Mountain Fortress, as the most important fortress in the southeast of Ross, is not only strong, but also very large, enough to carry 400,000 troops. At that time, the Ross people built such a large fortress near the northern Protectorate. I am afraid that there was no plan for the construction of such a large fortress, but now this solid fortress has fallen into the hands of the Qin army.
Zhang He nodded and then issued another order.
Zhang He and Jia Xu entered the fortress surrounded by a team of personal soldiers. When they saw Kazakov's body, they ordered people to bury their body.
The two of them reached the highest point of the fortress. This is the bell tower located in the middle of the fortress, which is more than 20 meters high and is located at the highest position in the fortress. They can enjoy a bird's eye view of the entire fortress and the fan-shaped vast plain in front of them.
Zhang He looked at the ridges of the houses lined up under the moonlight and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Ross, who we regarded as barbarians, could build such a magnificent fortress!" Jia Xu smiled.
Chapter completed!
