C3541 Night Assault Stellar Gorge

This pretty and inappropriate name was indeed worthy of its name. When Xu Zhanbiao first laid eyes on the place, he was deeply captivated by this wondrous sight.

Stellar Gorge did not say that this was the best place to view the stars, but said that the entire desert was filled with stars.

Stellar Gorge said it was a canyon, but it wasn't just a crack. It was a huge S-shaped pass, and the mountain range that separated the north and south suddenly revealed a very complex pass.

For millions of years, the contest between the wind and the rocks had been an arduous struggle between the northwest and the Gobi Desert. It had been torn apart by the wind into a complicated and dangerous path!

The deepest part of the pass was a canyon that was impossible to open. However, there were layers of high points on top of the canyon, with more than thirty stone blocks or a dry fortress.

After a few bloody battles, the twelve fortresses near the direction of the Gansu Province had already landed in Xu Zhanbiao's hands, the Shu Army had left a thousand elite warriors there.

Yaqub had left eighteen hundred soldiers there. He did not ask for them to defeat the Qing army, he only hoped that they could hold on to this winter.

Both sides were at each other's throats. They could see each other's shadows in the nearest fort. In the absence of wind, both sides could hear each other's curses!

The personal guards led by Xu Zhanbiao quietly made their way up in the dark of the night, not disturbing the enemy at all.

Under the leadership of the old soldier from the bunker, the general and the two hundred soldiers quietly climbed up the cliffs on both sides of the canyon under the cover of the shadow of the rocks. As a result, one of the soldiers who came for the first time in the open area immediately cried out in alarm.

"Ouch …" So beautiful, so many stars! "

"Shh …" "Be quiet, the enemy is very close …" The veteran guard quickly gagged him.

There was no time to punish this proscribed fighter. The two hundred men were already deeply attracted by the wondrous scenery. As far as the eye could see, other than loess sand and rocks, the desert was filled with stars.

The stars were not in the sky, but on the earth!

Xu Zhanbiao said in a low voice, "Don't make such a fuss, the moon is shining bright today... "There are a lot of quartz and mica in the stones here, reflecting the light of the moon in the sky. That's why there are so many stars!"

"This is the throat of the Western Regions, the east-west road, the only way into the border. Whoever controls this place will be the one to control the gate of Xinjiang!"

"Brothers …" "No one fight with me for it. Tonight, I want to be the first one to pull out the opposite bunker. I won't let you get the first prize!"

"Go …" With the cover of the sandstorm, we will be able to get close to it! "

Zuo Zongtang should really be grateful to Xiao Letian, the friendly relationship between the Xiang Army and the Chinese race allowed him to obtain many miraculous little things.

For example, desert camouflage clothing!

Xu Zhanbiao and the two hundred men were all wearing desert camouflage clothes made of Chinese cloth. As long as they didn't move, you wouldn't be able to notice them.

Furthermore, tonight, as if the wind was howling like wolves, Xu Zhanbiao was not afraid of making a ruckus in the desert. Xu Zhanbiao watched as a round stone the size of a bowl roll past him and landed on his personal guard's head with a loud bang.

The Sichuan people loved to be carefree and soft all the time, but as long as they left that rich basin, as long as they fought a national war, they would all be very valiant!

A stone the size of a bowl struck his forehead as blood splattered all over. The soldier did not even make a sound. He acted as if it was not his own head as he continued to lurk forward!

The Sichuan Army's tolerance for bitter battles was indeed worthy of its reputation!

Overhead was the biggest fortress, there were over 400 Yaqub rebel soldiers guarding it, the windows shone with a faint light and the sound of playing zither came from afar, it seemed to be the winter Bella, a common sight in the Southern Wilderness.

He didn't know what the rebel soldiers were humming, but he didn't see a single sentry patrolling along the way.

In the hearts of these defenders, they simply could not imagine that the Central Plains would attack at this time. They believed that this was a suicidal action.

I will take your life while you relax!

The soldier's back was stuck to the wall of the fort, the sharp stone pieces rested on his waist, the Han soldiers walked up to the man ladder one by one, Xu Zhanbiao and the other four commanders took the lead and started to pack the pills, suddenly they jumped up and quickly rushed forward.

The Chinese field boots had rubber soles that protected the feet and provided very powerful jumping support. No matter how sharp the rocks were, they wouldn't be able to pierce through them.

The shoelaces tightened around the ankles, so you didn't have to worry about spraining them. Plus, these generals all had time to spare, so they arrived in the blink of an eye.

The warrior raised his hands, using the soles of his shoes to push himself upwards, causing Xu Zhanbiao and the other two Generals to rush forward.

The nine meter high wall of the fort was only a few steps before it reached the window. At this time, the hairline had already been pulled, and the delay fuse was currently burning.

"Fuck you …" I'll blow you up, you bunch of bastards! "

Four dark explosive bags were thrown into the fortress through the opening, causing panic. Many of the rebel soldiers had no idea what they were talking about, and most of them were still sleeping.

All of a sudden, the escalator caved in. The soldiers spread their arms and sprawled on the ground, only to hear rumbling sounds above their heads … Four loud booms rang out!

The flames and smoke from the explosion were spewing out from every window, from every observation point, and even from the stone-piled gaps. They were like demons and devils whose lungs had been blown off from their bodies as they spewed out poisonous smoke.

"Kill!" Attack the Stellar Gorge... "

Explosions were the signal, and other death squads were already lurking under the other fortresses. More explosive devices were thrown up, and the surrounding highlands on both sides of the Stellar Gorge were instantly covered in explosive sounds.

"Kill …" Kill your way through... Down with Stellar Gorge... Kill your way to the Western Regions! "

More than three thousand Shu Army were dismounted from their horses in the wilderness. They rushed towards Yaqub's rebels in an attempt to kill him.

The accurate cannonball exploded on the enemy's bunker, firmly suppressing the counterattack fire of the bunker at the back!

When Xu Zhanbiao rushed to the interior of the fortress above his head, he discovered that it was filled with corpses. Some of the corpses even breathed heavily and lost their fighting ability due to the shock from the air currents.

The Shu Army began to clean up those who had escaped the net one by one. With short blades and pistols in turn, they opened up a bloody storm in the fort!

"Marshal …" The rebel army under the bunker had surrendered! There are even captives of our brothers and the Central Plains merchant group locked up here … "

"Bring me there to take a look …"

Walking down the stone steps covered with bloodstains and corpses, they quickly reached the dungeon. The captured Shu Army soldiers from the previous battle had already been tortured to the point that they didn't look good.

There were over 70 people in the other cell, all of them unkempt!

"Where are you from? "Han Chinese?"

Hearing the familiar country voice, the people in the dungeon wailed, "General, save me …" We are Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu... All the Chinese who were in the business field have been captured by them as slaves! "

"All the goods have been robbed, the men have been killed countless times, please save me, General …"
