Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 495: The Suicide Squad, Sending Heads

Boom boom boom.

The deafening sound continued to ring out in Tianda Mountain.

Under the impact of bombs, sturdy trees broke and fell one after another.

The trees that kept falling down didn't even have time to take a closer look at the world before they were blown into pieces by the bombs that fell later.

For a while.

The entire Tianda Mountain fell into earthquake mode.

The frequency is so high that it is comparable to a small motor.

It’s his mother’s fault!

Gao Zhensheng wanted to run to Su Chen, point at Su Chen's nose and curse him harshly, and ask his ancestors for eighteen generations, and by the way, ask how many bombs Su Chen brought this time.

With the bombing method that Su Chen and his men are using, the entire Tianda Mountain will be razed to the ground!

In desperation, Gao Zhensheng could only order his soldiers to retreat, retreat, and retreat again.

Staying where you are and defending yourself will only make you a plaything under the enemy's bomb.

The successive retreats also gradually caused the soldiers under his command to feel fearful.

after all.

Any normal person, seeing a large forest or mountain being razed to the ground by bombs, would worry whether he or she would be the next to be razed to the ground.

Will it also become a part of this plain and become the nutrient for the vibrant vegetation in the future?

Not to mention the bravery that Gao Zhensheng had snatched from those merchants and wealthy gentry, he really wanted to run away right now.

However, because the organization under Gao Zhensheng was still there, the soldiers did not suffer many casualties.

Otherwise, he would have run away long ago.

"General, we can't just watch them bomb like this any longer."

Li Zhengqiang had a murderous look on his face, "If this continues, morale will be low and we won't be able to fight them head-on."

How could Gao Zhensheng not know this?
But now.

What can they do facing so much artillery fire?
Charging forward head-on would only serve to give the enemy a head.

Gao Zhensheng took a deep breath and said, "Captain Li, organize a death squad."

"What do you mean, General?"

"I want a fearless death squad to go around the side of Tianda Mountain and attack Su Chen's bomb shooters!"

Gao Zhensheng clenched his fists. "Only if we kill all the bomb shooters in this group can we have a chance to continue to defend Tianda Mountain. Otherwise, we will be completely melted here along with Tianda Mountain."

"I understand!"

Li Zhengqiang nodded, "I'll take care of this."

After saying this, Li Zhengqiang left quickly.

If they want a suicide squad, they must select them from the elite soldiers under their command. Only the elite soldiers they bring with them have the courage to not fear death, and perhaps have the opportunity to encounter the opponent's archer formation.

"I need a thousand men now!"

Li Zhengqiang came in front of the soldiers and said seriously, "One thousand brave warriors who are not afraid of death and dare to charge!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke first.

Li Zhengqiang looked around and continued, "The enemy's firepower is too strong. We must find a way to break their bombing formation before we have a chance to fight them head-on."

"Any soldier who is willing to charge into the enemy's archer formation will receive 1,000 taels of silver!"

"If you are unfortunate enough to die here, I promise you that as long as we defeat the Tang army and return to Kaifeng, your families and relatives will all be taken care of by the court."

"In addition, the 1,000 taels of silver given to you will be delivered to your relatives one after another. At the same time, the general will also ask for 20 acres of good land for your relatives! Leave it to your descendants!"

"Now, who's willing to follow me and crush the other side's shooter camp?"

If he wanted silver, he would get silver; if he wanted good farmland, he would get good farmland; and he would have relatives at home and the court to provide for and protect him.

Such treatment has exceeded everyone's imagination.

"really?"

Someone asked hesitantly.

Li Zhengqiang: "I swear to heaven, as long as General Gao and I are still alive, we will not let your relatives and descendants suffer any harm!"

"Captain Li, I am willing to join the Suicide Squad!"

"Captain Li, I am willing to do the same!"

"Count me in!"

"Damn it! The purpose of being a soldier is to provide support for relatives and children. I did it!"

"..."

soon.

In front of Li Zhengqiang, there were a total of 600 elite soldiers gathered.

With shining eyes, they looked towards the archer camp in the distance, wishing they could rush over right now and chop all these people into pieces and feed them to the dogs.

"Is there anyone willing to follow me into battle?"

"..."

Compared to the six hundred people who came out excitedly, more people remained silent.

after all.

They joined the army just to make a living, and they never thought about leaving their lives here.

Even if they lose this battle, they can still become soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, right?

Li Zhengqiang glanced coldly at the silent soldiers and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the conditions he offered were extremely generous, not everyone was willing to die for the country.

"Someone, put the armor on them!"

Since these six hundred people are willing to follow him to attack the Tang army's archer camp, they must be fully equipped.

otherwise.

When they appeared and were discovered by the Tang army, the leather armor on their bodies could not block the Tang army's muskets from shooting them.

I'm afraid that before they get close to the bomb shooter's camp, they will be shot to death on the spot by the enemy's muskets.

After explaining some things, Li Zhengqiang quickly came to Gao Zhensheng and said, "General, the death squad has been selected. There are 600 of them!"

"what?"

Gao Zhensheng frowned, "Only 600 people?"

Li Zhengqiang: "It's a lot. These 600 people are elite soldiers who are willing to die on the charge!"

Gao Zhensheng remained silent.

Six hundred people!
Can six hundred people really get close to the Tang army's archer camp?
To be honest, even Gao Zhensheng was not very sure.

"General, we need war horses."

Li Zhengqiang said in a deep voice, "We will go around the side of the Tang army. We need the speed of the war horses to make up the distance between us!"

The war horses are fast and can get close to the Tang army as quickly as possible, minimizing the casualties of the soldiers.

Without war horses, it would be extremely difficult.

Gao Zhensheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give you 600 war horses, but you can't go."

Li Zhengqiang is his deputy general and was arranged by Quan Gaisuwen. The importance of his identity is self-evident.

If Li Zhengqiang led the troops, he would most likely die at the foot of the mountain.

How would he explain to Quan Gaisuwen?

"General, if I don't go, who will?"

Li Zhengqiang smiled calmly, "If even I am afraid and dare not step forward, how can the general expect others to take the initiative to charge forward?"

Gao Zhensheng: "I will arrange the men and lead them to attack!"

"General!"

"Captain Li, clarify your identity!"

Gao Zhensheng shouted, "Here, you must obey my orders!"

Li Zhengqiang opened his mouth and nodded helplessly, "But General, who are you going to arrange to lead this death squad?"

"Wu Tao!"

A sturdy man came out. He was Gao Zhensheng's personal soldier. "I am here."

"You will lead this death squad in person and make sure to destroy the Tang army's archer formation!"

"Yes!"

Wu Tao agreed to Gao Zhensheng's arrangement without any hesitation.

Li Zhengqiang frowned. He had some impression of Wu Tao. This man was not only Gao Zhensheng's personal soldier, but also Gao Zhensheng's distant relative. Many people in the army knew about this.

Gao Zhensheng arranged Wu Tao to replace him this time. Firstly, it should be to let the members of the death squad see Gao Zhensheng's attitude and determination. Secondly, except for Wu Tao's identity, the others are slightly insufficient.

"Kill as many Tang army archers as possible."

Gao Zhensheng patted Wu Tao's shoulder and said slowly, "If you die, I will take care of your relatives personally. There will be no problem."

"I believe the General."

"Take care of yourself."

Gao Zhensheng turned around silently. Wu Tao smiled and bowed, "General, Captain, I'm leaving now."

A moment later, a death squad of 600 people quietly left Tianda Mountain.

Since we want to attack the Tang army's archers, we must launch a silent sneak attack to have a certain chance of success.

Circling around the back of Tianda Mountain, a group of soldiers and horses, holding gags and grass in their mouths, quietly moved closer to the Tang army's formation.

at the foot of the mountain.

Koizumi Jiro said with a smile, "I didn't expect the Korean army to be so patient. They are simply a bunch of bastards. The entire Tianda Mountain was almost razed to the ground, and they were still able to hide."

Li Jingheng clapped his hands and laughed, "They are indeed a bunch of cowards."

Liu Rengui: "Don't be happy too soon. We haven't hurt their main force yet. I think they should be thinking about how to break our bomb offensive."

"We should strengthen our defense to prevent the enemy's sudden attack."

Su Chen nodded, "General Liu is right. If Gao Zhensheng continues to tolerate this, he will definitely make a big move. Let the scouts be alert and don't let the other side sneak up on them."

"Yes!"

Li Jingheng nodded, "I'll make the arrangements."

Just now.

Suddenly, a scout came galloping over on his horse, and there seemed to be many cavalrymen chasing him.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"coming!"

"Speak of the devil and he will appear!"

"..."

Everyone looked serious.

Although they had been prepared and Gao Zhensheng had arranged special forces to raid their formation, he still couldn't help but be a little surprised when the other party really appeared.

after all.

Attacking them at this time would undoubtedly be an act of seeking death.

"Follow the plan!"

"Yes!"

The musketeers, who had been prepared in advance, drew their weapons and aimed at the cavalry behind the scout.

Nearly.

Getting closer and closer.

As the sound of gunfire rang out, one musket after another spit out fire snakes.

Hundreds of bullets were fired at the suicide squad led by Wu Tao.

"Kill it!"

Wu Tao roared and raised the long sword in his hand.

Once they got close, these musketeers would not have the slightest ability to fight back and they could hack and kill however they wanted.

puff.

"what……"

Waves of wailing sounds from people being shot, falling, and falling off their horses continued to ring out among the suicide squad.

But these people showed no signs of stopping. Instead, they became more ferocious and cut a hole in the hide of the warhorse with their knives.

For a while.

The war horses rushed towards the archer camp like crazy.

Of the 600-man suicide squad, only half were left soon.

However, the distance between the two sides has reached the point where they can be separated in the blink of an eye.

"Musketeers, retreat!"

"Soldiers, follow me!"

Li Jingheng shouted loudly and led 500 soldiers to meet them.

Yuchi Baolin and Li Chongyi, without any hesitation, immediately called out 500 soldiers and attacked from both sides, blocking the way of the death squad.

If they are lucky and break through Li Jingheng's obstruction, they will face a pincer attack from Yuchi Baolin and the other two.

Ding ding ding.

The two sides engaged in close combat, and in just a moment, people from both sides fell off their horses.

……

"it is good!"

"Go, go, go!"

"We must break through the Tang army's artillery formation!"

On Tianda Mountain.

Gao Zhensheng clenched his fists tightly. As long as they could break out of the blockade of the Tang army, the archers of the Tang army would be lambs to be slaughtered!

However, after Li Jingheng and others appeared with their troops, Gao Zhensheng's expression gradually turned ugly.

Although Li Jingheng only brought 500 people to stop them, the fighting power of these 500 people should not be underestimated. Even the death squad he arranged, each of whom was wearing armor, could still kill dozens of them on the spot after one encounter.

On the other hand, although the number of Tang troops is almost the same, Wu Tao and his men are a death squad.

A suicide squad of only six hundred people!
Every time you lose a person, your chance of rushing into the Tang army’s archer camp decreases by one point!
"It's over..."

Li Zhengqiang sighed.

Although they were well prepared, the Tang army was even better prepared.

Not only were there musketeers who could shoot Wu Tao and others from a long distance at the first opportunity, but even if the distance was close, the Tang army also had cavalry teams that could step forward to stop them at any time.

This meant that the death squad led by Wu Tao could not get close to the Tang army's shooters.

as predicted.

In just an incense stick of time, the Tang army successfully killed Wu Tao and other members of the death squad at the cost of hundreds of lives.

"..."

They watched helplessly as the suicide squad disappeared, and there was a dead silence on Tianda Mountain.

"Gao Zhensheng, surrender and you can live!"

Li Jingheng raised the bloody steel knife and roared at Tianda Mountain. Then, hundreds of Tang soldiers began to roar.

The voices gathered together and soared into the sky.

It forms a sharp contrast with the dead silence of Tianda Mountain.

"What a fool's dream!"

"If you have the guts, blow up Tianda Mountain!"

Gao Zhensheng's angry voice came from Tianda Mountain.

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Blast, keep on blowing!"

Boom boom boom.

Countless bombs were dropped on Tianda Mountain as if they were free.

The slowly advancing column of bombs made Gao Zhensheng and tens of thousands of other soldiers extremely frightened.

"General, let's retreat. Tianda Mountain can no longer be defended!"

"General..."

Faced with everyone's request to retreat, Gao Zhensheng's face turned pale.

Just now.

The Tang army at the foot of the mountain began to advance!

The infantry were in the lead, followed by the musketeers, and finally the shooters who threw bombs. There were three layers, front and back, advancing up the mountain little by little.

seem.

They are proving with their actions that if you do not surrender, they will raze you and this mountain to the ground.

"Run!"

"Run quickly, the Tang army is coming..."

The soldiers who stayed below saw the bombs getting closer and closer to them and had lost all faith to continue fighting.

They fled in panic, heading towards the top of the mountain, or taking a detour to the other side of the mountain.

but.

How could he escape faster than a bomb by taking a detour to the other side of the mountain?
For a while.

Blood was flying everywhere and screams were heard.

"General!"

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Throw down all the rolling stones and don't let them catch up!"
