On the other side, Commander Zhao Jun placed a small number of troops in the first three cities, mainly to recover useful resources and transport them to Su City.
In order to prevent Ao Lie from sending troops to harass, Zhao Changheng continued to lead 250,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on the fourth Ao Lie military base.
But here, Zhao Yongheng encountered stubborn resistance. Enemy soldiers seemed to appear endlessly, not just from the military base, but from all around the ground.
If there is no guessing, this is Ao Lie's main force.
Zhao Yongheng led his men to kill the enemy frantically without stopping for a moment. When your physical strength is exhausted and your abilities are exhausted, use precious props to replenish them. Spending money like this is just to gain an advantage.
But things often don't go as smoothly as imagined. Zhao Yongheng encounters the Lieguo's number one general, Li Banggu.
As a gun warrior, Zhao Yongheng had no upper hand against Li Banggu, who had no weapons. The opponent's physical skills, martial arts, and super speed made Zhao Changheng doubt his life. However, Zhao Yongheng later discovered the problem. In order to give full play to his physical skills and martial arts, Li Banggu only wore light soft armor. However, Zhao Yongheng wore thick and high-grade armor, so in terms of speed, he could only lag behind.
However, the battlefield is not a one-on-one battle, but an extremely chaotic team battle.
A sniper team captain under Zhao Yongheng, he ordered all special snipers to cooperate with Zhao Yongheng and carry out non-stop attacks on Li Banggu. Not only the sniper team, but also the special archers and crossbowmen joined in the coordinated operations.
After all, Li Banggu only wore soft armor and had limited resistance. Facing countless hidden arrows, his actions were greatly affected. That Zhao Yongheng, at the critical moment, suddenly removed his heavy armor, flashed with a super, and stabbed Li Banggu with a fatal shot.
Li Banggu tried his best to dodge, but his chest was still pierced and he immediately vomited blood.
However, as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. The battlefield is not a one-on-one battle. Zhao Yongheng, who had taken off his heavy armor, had already been targeted by the snipers of the Lijun Army.
At that moment, hundreds of bullets hit Zhao Yongheng, and the impact directly knocked Zhao Yongheng away. To make matters worse, one of his eyes was directly penetrated.
Li Banggu, who was stabbed, was very lucky. His heart was not stabbed and his vitality was not damaged. He immediately punched the ground, causing a huge explosion and throwing up countless gravel and dust. This caused the snipers to lose their target, and when the smoke cleared, Li Banggu had long disappeared.
Zhao Yongheng, who was knocked away, only suffered a little skin trauma on his body, except for one of his eyes that was severely injured. He immediately put on the high-level armor again under the cover of his teammates.
His subordinates urged Zhao Yongheng to evacuate first and treat his eyes. However, Zhao Yongheng flatly refused and continued to fight the enemy bravely.
Because he knew very well that if he retreated at this time, the battle would be lost.
This fourth military base is the first head-to-head confrontation between Zhao Jun and Liejun. Whoever wins will have morale.
This is a life-or-death battle that cannot be stopped for a moment.
In this way, the battle continued until the next day. The ground was full of mutilated corpses, and the buildings of the military base were dyed red with blood, like a bloody city.
This battle lasted for nearly ten hours, and the side that finally won was Zhao Jun.
Ao Lie's army of nearly 300,000 people, more than 100,000 were killed directly in battle, and the other 200,000 had already fled.
As for Zhao Yongheng's 250,000 troops, more than 50,000 were killed, but they finally captured the base.
Just as the soldiers shouted victory on the city wall, Zhao Yongheng suddenly sensed that 200,000 troops were approaching in the distance.
Zhao Yongheng immediately summoned scouts to conduct reconnaissance and ordered the entire army to prepare for war.
However, one of Zhao Yongheng's lieutenants strongly suggested an immediate withdrawal of troops, but his suggestion was opposed by other lieutenants.
"We have won the victory and the morale of the entire army is high. Why should we retreat?"
"Although we have won, the durability of our entire army's armor has bottomed out. And the 200,000 people coming over at this time must be equipped with brand-new armor. To put it bluntly, the Liejun just wants to kill us. Once we fight this time, We will definitely lose."
"Not necessarily, how could they reorganize their troops and equip them with new armor in such a short period of time."
"Perhaps the 200,000 on the other side are not the ones who escaped last night, but new troops."
"How is it possible? How come Ao Lie has so many troops?"
“I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn’t exist.”
The soldiers discussed and discussed without any results. In the end, they all looked at Zhao Yongheng.
Zhao Yongheng sighed and replied: "Our 200,000 troops are Zhao's family, so we cannot fight an uncertain battle. The entire army will retreat immediately, report to the logistics troops, and replenish new armor."
"yes."
In this way, before the scouts came back to report, Zhao Yongheng led his troops to retreat in a hurry.
When Ao Lie led his troops to the military base, he saw that the building was empty and his face was extremely ugly.
"What happened? Why did they all leave?" Ao Lie said unhappily.
"It's really surprising. It stands to reason that they won the battle and their morale was high. Unexpectedly, they ran away." Guo Jia was also a little surprised.
"I've made a big loss. I lost a hundred thousand troops in vain."
"This was my mistake, but the other side did not fare well. During the battle last night, I assigned an additional cavalry regiment to intercept the opponent's transportation regiment and logistics regiment, and I gained a lot."
"That's great, as expected of Guo Jia. Fortunately, you saved the day for me, otherwise I would have been unhappy to death."
On the other side, Zhao Yongheng led the troops to return to the previously occupied military bases, only to find that these military bases had been re-planted with the Lie Zhi flag.
The lieutenants were furious: "Damn it, they actually have extra troops to reoccupy the military base."
"Commander, I can see that they don't have many troops. I am willing to lead the troops to reoccupy the base."
"What's the point of a broken base after many occupations?" Zhao Yongheng sighed.
"Commander, what should we do now?"
"It seems that we lost the Battle of Genting. The entire army evacuated and went down the mountain back to Sioux City."
"Commander...why do you want to withdraw?"
"Commander..."
In this way, Zhao Yongheng seemed to have won a battle, but finally left Yunding Mountain.
This decision is particularly useless to everyone. Even the soldiers were very emotional. They fought tooth and nail to kill the enemy and marched all the way, but they had to evacuate all.
So, what is the significance of this war? Didn’t all the brothers who lost their lives die in vain?
Along the way, everyone was in a very bad mood, but worse things were yet to come.
After completely descending the mountain, there was no trace of the transportation group and logistics group. The temporary camp was in dilapidated condition, with many corpses on the ground and a lot of debris scattered around.
"Oops, could it be that the transportation group and logistics group were attacked?" the deputy general said excitedly.
Zhao Yongheng was very angry, but he could do nothing now. He could only order the troops to march faster and leave as soon as possible.
After returning to Su City, Zhao Yongheng saw the personnel of the transportation group and logistics group, who were buffering the inner city, with a look of embarrassment on their faces.
The leaders of the transportation regiment and the logistics regiment came forward to report that they had been surprised by the cavalry regiment. They came in and looted, taking away nearly half of the armor and food resources.
Zhao Yongheng comforted: "It's okay. Fortunately, we didn't bring many resources this time. The loss of some losses will not have a big impact. We must quickly rebuild morale and reorganize the troops to prepare for the next war."
At noon, Zhao Lin and Sima Yi led a transportation group and rushed to Su City to discuss the next countermeasures with Zhao Yongheng.
In the conference hall, Sima Yi said: "Ao Lie's next step is to attack Su City. We still have time to prepare. The supplies we brought today, plus Su City's own inventory, are enough for several months. We will take the Come down, avoid all frontal conflicts, but be prepared for a protracted war."
As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, Zhao Yongheng suddenly asked: "Sima Yi, did you already know that we would lose? Did you already know that when we went to Yunding Mountain, we were basically going to die?"
"What did General Zhao say? And I don't think General Zhao lost. This time, General Zhao wiped out more than 100,000 enemies and destroyed three military bases. Although some supplies were lost, in general, it was still We won big."
"But we lost fifty to sixty thousand brothers."
"General Zhao, you haven't fought in this year. Are you suddenly not used to death? Have you forgotten that the establishment of Zhao State was based on the sacrifices of many people. War is inherently cruel. Dead people are the norm. . And unfortunately, I am afraid that people will die every day in the future. A new war has begun, General Zhao must be mentally prepared."
"The war was started in advance by you. If you hadn't tried your best to persuade my brother, how could we have been stupid enough to attack Yunding Mountain."
"Eternal, what do you mean by this?" King Zhao, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, I don't mean anything else. I just think, why did the war start in advance?"
"Eternal, you should know the reason. This battle is inevitable. If we don't fight in advance, Ao Lie will be fully prepared. Once his millions of troops go south, we will not be able to avoid it. Can't stand it. And now, Ao Lie has lost more than 100,000 troops, and all preparations are not in place, but the war has started, and he can only start the fight without being ready. As long as we and Ao Lie enter In the stalemate stage, then other countries in Tianzhu will not be afraid of Ao Lie, and they will send troops to assist us."
"So the reason for starting the war early is to prevent the country from being destroyed quickly?"
"Our Zhao country has reached the point of life and death. Every step now has been carefully planned by Sima Yi and I, so you should put aside all your worries and go for it."
"I know." Zhao Yongheng said helplessly.
"By the way, Yongheng, are your eyes okay?" King Zhao asked with concern.
"The healer repaired my eyeball and sutured it through surgery. Overall, it should be fine, but it may take some time before I can completely take off the eye patch." Zhao Yongheng gently touched the eye patch. Blindfold.
"Yongheng, thank you for your hard work. The fate of Zhao country depends on you." King Zhao patted Zhao Yongheng's shoulder meaningfully.
