The frontline battlefield was now a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Zhang Tao held a barrier knife and stood at the bottom of the mountain attack route. He led 20 supervisors and stood ready. There were more than a dozen corpses of soldiers lying beside him. They were not killed in battle, but deserters who were hacked to death by Zhang Tao on the spot.
A soldier rolled down the hillside and fell in front of Zhang Tao covered in blood. He was dying and said: "General...General, it is difficult for us to conquer the enemy's defense line. It is dark and the mountains are steep. Please retreat, general."
Zhang Tao's eyes widened, and he slashed the soldier's neck with his knife. He turned around and shouted at the soldier next to him: "Those who shake the morale of the army will die!"
"Team 6, come on!"
There were 500 people in one team, and the five teams in front had already been attacked. Under the eager gaze of Zhang Tao and the supervisors, the sixth team could only bravely charge forward.
It was difficult to attack during the day. It was dark, the mountain was steep and the road was slippery. Before they could reach the position, two unlucky guys had already lost their footing and slipped from the side, falling to pieces on the spot.
The soldiers suggested lighting torches several times, but Zhang Tao rejected them all. Lighting torches at night was simply a living target.
Zhang Tao felt that his decision to attack the mountain in the dark was simply too wise.
This dark night not only has an impact on our own side, but also has an equally great impact on the bandits on the mountain!
Little did he know that Qin Feng had already seen through Zhang Tao's plan and had quietly transferred the guards who had been hoarding in the rear to the front line.
At this time, what Zhang Tao faced was not the 20 guards guarding at all, nor the 60 guards in three fortresses at an angle, but... one hundred and two!
The top of the mountain is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the place where one can step is extremely narrow, but Qin Feng occupies a favorable terrain and does not have to worry about losing his footing and falling off the cliff.
In this way, with the situation of more and less, it is not a large number of soldiers besieging Qin Feng, but Qin Feng's guards besieging the enemy!
There was a huge disparity in combat power, and an even greater disparity in morale. Coupled with the overwhelming number of enemies, the guards of the Tianji Battalion were almost invincible.
The only thing that needs attention is the strength of the guards, so whenever Zhang Tao mobilizes men and horses to attack in turns, Qin Feng will also seize the opportunity to alternate the resting guards in the rear with those in the front.
When the sixth vanguard army withdrew with heavy casualties, Zhang Tao finally began to wonder.
"Why do I feel like I'm not fighting two hundred people, but...two thousand people?"
"How many arrows have these enemy invaders accumulated? How much strength do they have? They have been fighting for a whole day, but the defense line is still impregnable?"
"Who knows how many people died on the other side!"
Amid Zhang Tao's low roar, a soldier who retreated from the front line gasped for air and said with desperate eyes: "General... the lights above are blind and have no idea of the enemy's and our losses."
"However... the offensive of the first-line fortress has been extremely fierce from beginning to end, with no signs of slowing down."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao's face suddenly turned dark.
Is it possible that none of the enemy soldiers died? This is absolutely impossible!
Even if the opponent is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, there will definitely be casualties in the face of a whole day's fierce attack by the army. The reason why the first-line fortress is so aggressive is that the enemy must be taking advantage of the cover of night to provide continuous support!
At this moment, the deputy beside him felt the eager eyes of the soldiers around him and whispered: "General, it's almost time to give up. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny!"
The deputy's words are definitely not bluffing.
After fighting for a whole day, we didn’t even know how many enemies were killed. On the contrary, we suffered more than 2,500 casualties on our side. Morale had already collapsed. If the supervisors were not present to suppress the formation, the attacking army would have fled long ago. Going down the mountain.
If the soldiers are forced to go up the mountain to die, it is not known whether the Tianji camp guards will die or not. Zhang Tao will definitely be hacked to death by the angry soldiers.
But Zhang Tao didn't care. No one knew how many connections he had secretly made and how much money he had made in order to participate in this bandit suppression operation and make contributions.
The life and death of these big-headed soldiers is not important at all!
Anyone who dares to hinder him from making achievements and getting promoted to a noble position will be his mortal enemy!
Zhang Tao glanced at the supervisor coldly: "Just this once, if you dare to shake the morale of the army again, I will never let you go!"
The supervisor had no choice but to lower his head dejectedly.
The sixth team failed to attack the mountain. Zhang Tao did not hesitate, pointed at the seventh team not far away, and shouted: "Come on! Those who are timid will be punished on the spot!"
Faced with Zhang Tao's death order, no one in the seventh vanguard team moved. They just stood there and stared at Zhang Tao coldly.
The deputy lieutenant in charge of the seventh team hugged Zhang Tao and said, "General, there is no moon tonight, it is pitch black, and the terrain on the mountain is complicated. We must not continue the fight. Even if we want to fight, we must wait until dawn."
Facing the deputy lieutenant's suggestion, Zhang Tao didn't hesitate at all, raised his knife and struck.
Plop.
The deputy lieutenant's body fell to the ground. Zhang Tao didn't take a second look, pointed at the soldiers, and coldly snorted: "When I was suppressing bandits on Fengming Mountain, you didn't know where you were. Not a single bandit I ever killed was There are eighty out of a hundred. I don’t care about those bullshit Tianji camp guards.”
"Come up here and let me see who dares to disobey the military order!"
The soldiers ignored Zhang Tao and stared blankly at the deputy lieutenant who was killed.
The deputy lieutenant's death was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back.
A veteran in his forties directly lifted Bu Shan up and shouted: "I am dead as well as I am below, I will not live anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the veteran grabbed Bu Shu and rushed towards Zhang Tao.
Although the veteran was hacked to death by the supervisors in the next moment, the soldiers' anger had been aroused, and more and more soldiers rushed towards Zhang Tao.
Facing the crazy soldiers, Zhang Tao opened his eyes wide and hurriedly hid behind the supervisors. He was so arrogant that he was so frightened that he stammered: "You... you are all crazy! This is rebellion, rebellion!"
"I am the vanguard commander appointed by the Lord Warlord. If you dare to kill me, no one can escape!"
The soldiers had lost their minds, and it would not help even if Zhang Tao roared to the point of breaking his throat.
The supervisors were quickly killed by the angry soldiers, and Zhang Tao was dragged out and had his hands and feet chopped off.
The hysterical screams echoed over Qingyu Mountain, but they could not arouse any sympathy.
The angry soldiers picked up Zhang Tao with their rifles and lifted him into the air. As if to demonstrate, they rushed down the mountain angrily.
The Jin Yiwei who was lying on the rock wall immediately ran back to the stronghold to report.
"Sir, the enemy army mutinied and the enemy general was killed by the rebel army!"
At this moment, Qin Feng was not at the watchtower, but sitting slumped beside the rock wall of Fortress No. 1, breathing heavily.
Due to the continuous enemy offensives, the guards were almost exhausted. Qin Feng could only hold on to the rifle and go into battle himself, stabbing and killing more than a dozen enemy soldiers...
