Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

On the forward position, the captain of the devil brigade lit a cigarette with trembling hands.

A burst of white smoke rose, and he sighed heavily, his face full of exhaustion.

Even though the Eighth Route Army has not launched an attack now, they still cannot relax their vigilance.

Under the double pressure of mental and physical, his whole body has been under high pressure.

The staff officer went to sit down in front of the devil's captain: "Your Excellency, captain, it will be dawn in two hours, and the Tuba Road is likely to launch a new round of attacks by then, you should take a break!"

The captain of the Guizi battalion shook his head: "I got in touch with Your Excellency Shangban three hours ago, and Taicheng has mobilized reinforcements from Taigu County."

"I can't rest until reinforcements arrive."

"Tell the warriors of the empire to hold on for a few more hours, and we can withdraw to the city after the reinforcements arrive."

"Hayi!" The devil's staff officer nodded, and forced himself to go down to convey the order.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar behind them.

The devil's chief of staff who had just stood up was stunned, and the devil's chief of staff was also full of surprise.

"What's going on? Your Excellency Shangban, are you preparing to launch an attack by firing at this time?"

The devil's staff officer shook his head with a dazed expression on his face.

But in the next second, the shells fell directly on their position.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The gunfire roared, the flames splashed, and the entire trench was suddenly filled with gunpowder smoke. Countless devils stared wide-eyed, their faces full of astonishment.

"What... what's going on? Why did Your Excellency Shangban shoot at us?"

"Communication soldier, contact the city quickly, what happened?"

The captain of the devil group roared anxiously, but the artillery fire was too fierce, and his voice could not be conveyed at all.

On the other side, the sound of cannons also alarmed Ding Wei and others.

Ding Wei hurried out of the temporary headquarters: "What's going on? Who fired the cannon? Did the devil launch an attack?"

Zhang Dabiao turned his head to look at Ding Wei, his eyes full of doubts: "Captain Ding, didn't you order the cannon to fire?"

Ding Wei shook his head, looked forward again, and after observing for a few seconds, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Ha ha!"

"Looking at the trajectory of the shells, they came from the Qingxu city tower. It seems that Lao Li and the others have controlled the devil's tower."

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed: "I just said that the leader and the others will be fine."

"Captain Ding, now is the best opportunity to charge, I will lead the first battalion first!"

Ding Wei waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to charge, since it's going to blow up, let's blow it up!"

"Tell our artillery battalion to fire immediately, cooperate with Lao Li and the others, and rain shells on the devils."

"There are gunfire from the front and back, the devils will definitely retreat to the left and right."

"Battling Commander Zhang, Commander Shen, Commander Zhu, and Commander Ge, you take your respective troops to detour to the left and right sides of the devil's position and clean up the remnants of the enemy."

"Others, be prepared. As soon as the artillery fire stops, charge immediately and treat the devils on the battlefield as dumplings!"

"Yes!" Everyone roared, their eyes full of fighting spirit.

The artillery fire is still going on, but the difference from before is that this time the artillery fire is more violent, and it is front and rear flanking.

The artillery on both sides was very fierce, even though the devils had the cover of bomb craters and trenches, there were still countless casualties.

The wreckage of severed fingers coming out of the entire trench is the wailing sound of devils.

The bombing lasted more than ten minutes before it stopped. Before the smoke cleared in the air, the sound of the Eighth Route Army's charge came from the left and right sides of the trench.

Immediately afterwards, densely packed Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed from the left and right sides with the momentum of mountains and tsunamis.

"Da da da!"

There were gunshots everywhere, and any devil who tried to escape from the trench was directly shot through the body in the next second.

As the Eighth Route Army soldiers charged more and more fiercely, the encirclement gradually began to shrink.

Captain Guizi saw the Eighth Route Army's plan, and his face became more serious.

"Concentrate all forces and break out from the right!"

However, after more than ten minutes of bombing, the remaining devils had already been terrified and could not gather into an effective resistance force at all.

As time went by, soldiers of the Eighth Route Army attacked the devil's position, followed by a massacre.

In less than an hour, with Zhang Dabiao swiping the big knife in his hand, the head of the devil brigade fell to the ground, which also indicated that all the devils outside the city were slaughtered.

Standing on top of the trench, Ding Wei turned around to look at Qingxu City not far away, with the corners of his mouth raised wantonly.

"Captain Ding, the inspection is over, there are no more survivors here!"

"Okay!" Ding Wei laughed and said, "Send a battalion of soldiers to stay and clean the battlefield, and the rest will go into the city!"

"Yes!"

On the city tower, Li Yunlong laughed when he saw the large troops walking towards him, and walked towards the gate of the city without looking back.

Chen Kuan glanced at Li Yunlong and said with a smile, "Leader, Captain Li seems to be unable to restrain his emotions."

Wu Qianli smiled slightly: "Is there still a need for restraint at this time?"

"Notify, open the city gates, and welcome the large troops!"

"Yes!" Chen Kuan responded excitedly, and after leaving a dozen soldiers on the tower, everyone went downstairs one after another.

The city gate opened, and the army poured in. Even at a distance of 30 meters, Wu Qianli and the others could see the smiles on the faces of the soldiers.

When the troops converged, Ding Wei came to Li Yunlong first and lightly punched him in the chest.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, you did a good job this time. At the beginning, I thought you were a bad dish, but I didn't expect it."

Li Yunlong laughed: "Didn't expect anything? Your old man has an upturned nostril, and no one pays attention to it."

"I told you before, our old Li is Zhang Yide, there are details in the rough."

"You can do rough work, but we don't bother with fine work!"

Ding Wei laughed and said, "That's quite a good point. Your appearance is indeed comparable to Zhang Fei's."

"However, we were able to win Qingxu this time, and the main credit is due to the fact that there are five thousand miles."

"Without a plan of five thousand miles, it is not so easy for us to enter Qingxu City!"

As he said that, Ding Wei turned his head to look at Wu Qianli: "Wu Qianli, I used to think that your kid's wars depended on his equipment, but now it seems that you are a living Kongming, with a clever plan."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "It's also thanks to Captain Li's cooperation this time, otherwise my plan wouldn't be able to be implemented."

"However, the two regiment leaders, it is far from time to relax. When we attacked Qingxu, the devils must have asked for reinforcements. I am afraid that their reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, and there will be another battle by then."

Li Yunlong said with a sullen face: "That's for sure, devils are not fools."

"But now that we have Qing Xu as our support, it might be a lot easier. In a sense, defending the city is easier than siege. At least we don't have to run around, don't we?"

"It can only be said that each has its own advantages and difficulties!" Ding Weichang sighed: "The next thing is to hold on for five days, whether it is long or short."

Wu Qianli nodded: "We don't have enough time, so we need to speed up the deployment of defense."

"We haven't looked at the Devil's Warehouse yet, so we don't think there will be any shortage of things. We have to use them all. The defensive measures outside the city must be arranged as soon as possible, at least the minefields must be arranged first!"

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong nodded at the same time: "Understood!"
