Time passed little by little, and King Kang's 10,000-strong army arrived at the location of the trap less than a quarter of an hour after the People's Army laid the trap.
They were not marching very fast, and they looked left and right, looking cautious. But along the way, they didn't find even half a sign of the People's Army.
The soldiers moving forward gradually relaxed their vigilance. However, it wasn't long before they relaxed their vigilance. They stepped into the minefield laid by the People's Army.
I saw sparks coming out of nowhere, and then there were explosions. As the sound sounded, the 10,000 vanguards of King Kang's army were suddenly blown away. Instant chaos.
When Yunze saw this scene halfway up the mountain, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and the explosion even lasted for several minutes.
King Kang's vanguard army that stepped into the minefield lost nearly a quarter in one fell swoop. However, what frightened them most was that with the pressure of the sparks generated by the explosion, most of the earth mines they carried were ignited. Another round of explosions exploded in it.
These King Kang's troops would never have imagined that the earth mines they brought would eventually become their own talisman. With another round of explosions, more than 2,000 people from King Kang's army were taken away.
Before they could react, a dense rain of arrows was fired at them. A round of arrow rain came down, killing nearly a thousand people. Before it was over, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from all directions.
The People's Army of nearly 20,000 people tightly surrounded the Kang Wang army surrounded by them, and then launched a charge. Even if it is the first time for these people to go to the battlefield.
But the brutality on the battlefield aroused their bloody passions, and the training also made them follow orders and prohibitions. They no longer cared about life and death, and only knew how to charge and kill.
King Kang's army in the middle had already been robbed of their minds by an explosion and a rain of arrows. Coupled with the sudden cry of killing, they had completely lost their resistance. Not to mention, they only had three thousand left. Someone comes.
Attacked by a force several times theirs, this battle was already doomed. Yunze pointed his telescope at the camp of King Kang's army more than forty miles away.
At this time, the sound of explosions had been heard from the camp of King Kang's army. Although the sound was already very small, the King of Kang's army, which had earth mine weapons, certainly knew that this was the sound produced by the explosion of earth mines.
The commander rushed out of the camp and looked nervously ahead, where the vanguard army was located. The explosion let him know that the vanguard army was probably at war with Yunze's troops.
But he didn't know exactly how, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his eyes. At this time, other generals were also alerted and all appeared at the gate of the village in front.
"The fighting started... did you hear the sound of earth mines? Haha... It's our earth mines. The vanguard army must have found Yunze's army. They have earth mines in hand, as well as arrows. Yunze's Those armies are dead!"
"Yes, the weapons we have here are similar to Yunze's, and our output may even be higher than his. Ten thousand people, each carrying six earth mines, can kill Yunze if they are thrown casually. It was blown up to ashes. Haha... Now we can go straight to Danyang!"
The generals came to their senses, their faces full of joy. They originally thought that the vanguard army and Yunze's army were fighting hand to hand. The vanguard were using the mines they had brought.
The lethality of this thing is amazing, especially when it is fired with arrows, it can carry out long-range attacks. They even felt that the 10,000 vanguard troops were probably bombing Yunze's army.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that they got this thing from Yunze. If they had it, wouldn't Yunze have it too? However, they instinctively felt that a small Danyang City in Yunze could create many earth mines.
It is estimated that most of the earth mines may be following the 40,000 troops attacking Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan Town. It would be good to have a few earth mines on Yunze's side.
These people's faces were full of excitement, excitement, and even pride. Only the middle-aged coach looked solemn. He could see further than others. Look deeper. His expression flickered as he hesitated whether to send troops over to take a look.
But after thinking about it, he felt that there were scouts who would send back the battle report in less than a quarter of an hour, so he was not in a hurry to send troops. After all, from the camp here to the location of the vanguard. If we march with all our strength, it will take less than half an hour. The cavalry is faster and can arrive in a quarter of an hour.
If any situation arises, he has enough time to deal with it. Others looked indifferent and even thought they could attack Danyang City right away, their faces full of pride and expectation.
Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, there were scouts on horseback rushing towards this side, and the scouts were shouting.
"The vanguard army is under attack. The situation is urgent. Please send troops to rescue the commander..." As soon as the scout said these words, the commander's expression was stunned, and his eyes were full of shock. There is also a trace of it being true.
The other generals were full of disbelief. They looked at the running scouts blankly, thinking that they had heard wrong. Logically speaking, the vanguard army should have the upper hand.
Yunze had already sent 40,000 people to Zhejiang and Ningbo, but how could he find the troops to fight against them? Even if there were, how could a group of new soldiers and an army without advanced weapons and equipment have the courage to sneak attack them.
"Cavalry battalion, hurry up... go to the rescue immediately!" The coach who came back to his senses said quickly.
Following his voice, the generals who came back to their senses quickly looked at two of them. The two men turned and rushed towards the camp. In just half a quarter of an hour, nearly ten thousand cavalry appeared outside the camp.
The coach was about to order the cavalry to go to the rescue. At this moment, a roaring sound suddenly sounded, and then something like a fireball exploded among the cavalry.
The nearly 10,000 cavalrymen who had just been assembled were suddenly thrown into chaos by this bombing, causing many casualties. Before they could react, another round of howling sounded.
These cavalrymen instinctively ran towards the outside, and the cavalrymen immediately dispersed. They knew that these things were similar to earth mines, and the most effective way was to disperse.
Nearly ten thousand cavalry were blinded by the bombing, and the commander of King Kang's army was also blinded by the bombing. He looked around with a stunned face, his eyes full of fear.
Unfortunately, there was nothing around, and they didn't even know where the whistling sound came from. Just as they were shocked, another roar exploded towards their camp.
Suddenly, the camp was bombed into chaos, and the entire camp was filled with panic and shock. The cavalry also saw their headquarters being bombed, ran out, and then ran back.
The commander looked around, trying to find the culprit who blew them away. During the cold drink, he quickly sent out ten thousand cavalry, vowing to find the enemy hiding in the dark.
The coach and all the generals were shocked and frightened at this time. They have long lost the pride and disdain they had just now. There is boundless fear in my heart.
Just kidding, their earth mines still need to be shot with arrows, and the distance they shot is not far, but the explosion that appeared in front of them didn't even know where it came from.
But they all know that this is the secret weapon in Danyang City. This weapon is extremely lethal and has great deterrence. If one of them is not good, if he is bombed, he may be killed on the spot.
A group of cavalrymen who had just left the camp quickly searched around. Soon they were far away, and the cavalry also dispersed. One of the cavalry groups had just searched somewhere.
Suddenly, there was a banging sound from the front, and before the cavalry could react, most of them were killed or injured. Then there was the sound of arrows. Then there was the explosion.
Hundreds of cavalry here were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Soon, hundreds of people emerged from a mound. They looked at the corpse on the ground, turned around and left. Not even the trophies.
Situations like this occurred from time to time around the entire King Kang camp. After nearly 10,000 cavalry were dispersed, there were almost hundreds of people in each team. Nearly half of the dozens of cavalry groups were quickly killed.
Most of them were killed, and a small number of them escaped. When they returned to the camp, the commander listened to the reports of the survivors, with a trace of panic and fear in his eyes. A chill ran from head to toe.
At the same time, the scout from the front also came back, and he brought back the news that the 10,000 vanguard army had been destroyed. The coach was shocked on the spot. He looked around and felt that there were many enemy troops ambushing him in the dark.
He never expected that he had just arrived in Danyang City, and he didn't even see the shadow of Yunze's army. He lost more than 10,000 people, almost 20,000, in one fell swoop. Among them, the cavalry losses were close to 10,000.
The 100,000 troops he brought this time only had more than 20,000 cavalry, and almost half of them were lost at once. This made him, who was already cautious, even more afraid to move forward.
"Strengthen the defense, patrol and scout for me to cover a five-mile radius!" The coach said coldly to his generals. His eyes were filled with hesitation.
He wanted to withdraw his troops, but King Kang did not give him an order, so he did not dare to withdraw. But he doesn't dare to advance now. The loss of nearly 20,000 people scared him. Especially the invisible bomb weapon, which almost scared his soul.
Even when I go to bed at night, I am still worried. He was afraid that a bomb would be thrown from nowhere and kill him in his sleep.
King Kang's army did not advance any further, but they kept sending scouts to the surrounding front, especially the front scouts. The distance they sent out for reconnaissance reached more than forty miles.
However, the coach found out strangely that the scouts who were scouting around were often killed inexplicably, and he didn't even know who killed them. As for the scouts sent forward, none of them came back.
At this time, the head coach Kang Wangjun realized that he was trapped here. Even though there was open space in front, back, left and right, he did not dare to move a step. Now he is neither advancing nor retreating!
Enter! He was afraid of encountering an ambush again, even though he still had more than 80,000 troops in his hands, but he really didn't have any confidence in his heart. It was the explosive weapons that really scared him.
As for retreating, King Kang did not issue an order, so how could he dare to retreat? He even dared not ask King Kang for permission to retreat now. Even if you want to ask for instructions, you will probably have to wait for a few days.
But in the next few days, not only were the scouts killed from time to time, but sometimes at night, a roaring sound would be heard somewhere, and then the camp where they were located would be in chaos.
Fortunately, such a blow does not last long, only about a few explosions each time. But in one night, at least three such explosions would occur. They couldn't even sleep well.
The coach once sent people to look for people where the fire was lit, but when there were few troops rushing over, none of them could come back, but when there were many people rushing over, they couldn't even find the opponent's figure.
This sense of frustration almost broke the spirit of the coach and all the soldiers. This happened every day for several days. If they tried to sleep during the day, they would be bombarded from time to time.
As a result, those Kang Wang soldiers were almost afraid to sleep now, for fear that as soon as they fell asleep, artillery shells would suddenly come over and they would not know how they died.
In this way, in a state of high mental stress, Kang Wangjun persisted for seven days. Yunze also watched quietly for seven days. Zhao Zhongyi and others were also standing on the mountainside with Yunze at this time. Several of them looked at Kang Wangjun who had not left yet with binoculars, and several of them frowned.
King Kang's army is really tenacious. Such harassment can't drive them away, which is really a headache.
They didn't know that the commander of King Kang's army was actually about to collapse, but without King Kang's order, if he retreated at this time, King Kang might be killed if he went back!
He could only persist. However, yesterday, he sent someone to send a battle report requesting to withdraw the troops. He really couldn't hold on. Originally, he wanted to wait a few more days before doing so.
After all, when he came to Danyang City, he didn't even touch the edge of Danyang, and he lost nearly 20,000 people all at once. If he retreated like this. Going back would definitely mean death.
But if he persisted for a few days and then went back to tell him how many hard battles he had gone through, at least for the sake of his hard work, King Kang might not kill him.
But the problem is, he really can't hold on anymore. In fact, the daily harassment was driving him crazy. Not only was he feeling aggrieved, but he was also afraid that one day he would be shot to death inexplicably.
These days, King Kang's troops were killed by bombs from time to time. It would be strange if they were not frightened by the tragic appearance of the corpses. Almost the entire camp of King Kang's army was afraid of the frequent sound of artillery. Now, when they hear the sound of cannons, they instinctively want to run away.
Zhao Zhongyi glanced at Yunze and then at the other generals, who nodded. Zhao Zhongyi bowed his hand to Yunze, turned around and left.
After the generals left, Yunze smiled lightly at them. He knew that Kang Wangjun's forbearance made them a little angry, and they were preparing for a big move.
I just don’t know what big move they are planning to make? Anyway, Yunze handed over the command to these people. What they do is up to them.
Yunze is somewhat looking forward to the actions of his generals. Judging from the current situation, their performance makes Yunze very satisfied. This time, there might be a surprise.
