Chapter XVIII
"Okay, congratulations to Brother Kong!" Chu Yuan congratulated, and the two of them sat directly on the ground.
"How about Kong Zheng, do you want to go to the Sword and Shield Camp. Wu Chang Wang Yiwen came to Kong Zheng's side, patted him on the shoulder and asked.
"Wait a minute, Chief Wang, I want to talk to Brother Qingyi again these days, it's so cool!"
"Haha, you kid, okay, you rest first, let them practice too. ”
In the army, everyone will have their own formation that is suitable or needed, and sending their subordinates to a place that suits him or needs him is a matter of pride for every commander, and this is the army.
A month later, the troops of the Chiluan State in the west of the Great Wilderness Dynasty attacked Xiliang Pass, but fortunately, Xiliang County had already prepared and could not lose. On the same day, the Siyou Empire in the east attacked Liuyun Pass, and the Nanyu Kingdom in the south attacked Yannan Pass.
In this month, Chu Yuan often discussed with Kong Zheng, and forcibly opened three pulses, and his cultivation was constantly stable, and Kong Zheng also joined the sword and shield camp as he wished.
During the day, the sword and shield battalions, the iron cavalry battalions, the spear battalions and the bow battalions were basically fighting, and at night it was the time for the individual battalions to attack.
"Cheer up, I hope each of you can come back, but there will be sacrifices in the war, so, your comrades-in-arms have fallen, don't help them, and don't let your comrades-in-arms help you, remember, we are soldiers, put on this armor, we are the soldiers of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, the general died for the country on the battlefield, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!" Guo Shaoren stood in front of the army and was impassioned.
"The captains are ready, arrange the mission orders, and set off in two minutes!"
"Yes!"
The five lieutenants said in unison.
The captain of the fifth formation is called Xun Wei, who is in charge of 3,000 soldiers and horses.
"Remember, we are the fifth formation, when the time comes, we will replace the fourth formation, remember General Guo's words, don't help your comrades, and don't let your comrades-in-arms help you, because it will cause more sacrifices, and it is meaningless! Xun Wei said.
"Yes!"
"Listen, the six of us will try not to scatter for a while, listen to my command, understand?" Xu Jing said to Chu Yuan and the others.
"Understood!"
"Okay, take a break to adjust the state first, our single barracks are equipped with light armor, which is convenient and flexible to fight, which is equivalent to a first-class spiritual weapon, you have your own weapons, and they are not bad, if you feel bad, you can tell me, and the military resources department will give it." Xu Jing commanded.
"Also, our fifth formation has no replacement, so we can only hold out until dawn!
"Didn't take over? why?" asked Yu Xue.
"Because the Nanyu country has 200,000 troops, our troops are not enough to take turns, this is a plain, and there is no place to set traps and ambushes, so Yannan Pass is the most difficult place to defend. Xu Jing said.
"Understood!" a few nodded.
"The time for our formation to attack is the beginning of Yinshi, and we must hold on until the beginning of Chenshi, Qingyi, you are the strongest in the flesh and follow me, Lie Yuliang, you make the bow and arrow pay attention to cleaning up the people who are close to our team, Liao Bai protects Qingyi, you two are on both sides, pay attention to protect Lie Yuliang!"
Xu Jing roughly assigned the task.
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's squint for a while, after all, I don't sleep as well during the day as I do at night. ”
The battle outside the pass continued, and batch after batch of soldiers rushed forward and retreated, and the first formation of the individual battalion had already gone up.
The reason why the individual battalion fights at night is that large-scale battles are easy to be injured by mistake at night, especially the sword and shield battalion and the spear battalion, and the individual battalion is in a team of six people at a time, which can avoid the chance of accidental injury to a certain extent.
"The premise of the fifth formation is all!"
When the hour came, an order was given, and another 3,000 soldiers rushed out of the pass and rushed towards the enemy in front of them.
"Kill!"
......
The front row rushed up, and the back row was not far behind, but the enemy troops were the same, and the momentum of the mountains and seas rolled up one by one.
Chu Yuan's team rushed to the front, the first to fight the enemy, it was okay at first, but gradually, as the number of people on both sides increased, the battlefield became more and more chaotic.
There was a constant sound of swords colliding, screams, and the sound of cold arrows.
Xu Jing and Chu Yuan, who were in front of the team, were the most difficult, and the light armor on their bodies couldn't bear it at all, but fortunately, Chu Yuan's spiritual strength was stronger than that of ordinary people, and he was reminded several times to avoid cold arrows.
The people nearby fell one by one, and the people behind rushed forward one by one, this is the battlefield, and even the corpses are not stepping on the earth.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Yuan only felt that his hands had begun to disobey the call, and he began to become numb, and Lie Yuliang couldn't pull the bow a little, and began to fight with arrows.
Xu Jing has a cultivation of eight levels of qi, and the forging veins have opened four, but he is already scarred at the moment, he is the captain of this team, he must use his life to protect them, because, he is a soldier!
Finally, reinforcements came, and the comrades of the Sword and Shield Battalion advanced forward from behind, and Chu Yuan's team began to slowly retreat.
Back at the barracks, before they even entered the barracks, everyone fell to sleep on the ground.
"Count the casualties!" Guo Shaoren ordered.
"Yes!"
"The first formation killed 237 people, seriously injured 268 people, and minor injuries are not counted!"
"One hundred and eighty-two people died in the second formation, and two hundred and ninety-six were seriously wounded......"
......
"In the fifth formation, five hundred and seventeen people died, seven hundred and fifty-two people were seriously injured, and minor injuries are not counted!"
The fifth formation suffered the highest battle losses because they fought longer, and the longer they fought, the higher the casualty rate.
Xu Jing's team, he himself was the most seriously injured, he was hit by two cold arrows, and he was already sent to the medical camp.
Chu Yuan is okay, his physical body is relatively strong, and most of them are skin injuries, Yu Xue is a girl, and it is the first time she has experienced this kind of large-scale fighting, her face at this time is very ugly, and her beautiful red lips have become pale at this moment.
Liao Bai and Lie Yushan are more or less colorful, Lie Yuliang is the best, and he is a little out of strength.
"Princess, go back, this is too dangerous!" In the military tent, the general Shang Chengshan said to Hua Qingyi.
"I can't go, especially at this time!" Hua Qingyi shook his head and refused.
"How's the situation in the single barracks?" Hua Qingyi asked.
"The battle losses are more than 1,000 people, plus other troops, so far the battle losses of Yannan Pass are close to 5,000 people, and the serious injuries are more than 10,000!" Shang Chengshan said bitterly.
"What is the situation of conscription everywhere?"
"There are already 20,000 new troops coming, and Lord Hwasa is also escorting a batch of supplies. But princess, Nanyu has added 50,000 troops, and this Yannanguan is a plain, so it's not easy to fight!" Shang Chengshan said helplessly.
"Nanyu is not comfortable on the other side, and Nanyu will definitely slow down the offensive in the next period of time. Hua Qingyi said.
"I only hope that Xiliang Pass and Liuyun Pass can end as soon as possible, otherwise Yannan Pass will not be able to hold it. Shang Chengshan said.
Hua Qingyi was silent for a long time and said, "Grandpa Xue, I want to invite someone to come." ”
Xue Wenxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Who?"
"Second Taizu, Hua Yixiao!" Hua Qingyi slowly spit out three words.
"The undefeated army Shenhua smiled, but the second Taizu has been in seclusion for hundreds of years. Xue Wenxiao said.
The second Taizu Hua smiled and followed the emperor to fight in the Quartet, and his ability to make suggestions was unmatched in the court, and there was no defeat.
"I think he will definitely come out this time, General Shang, I took Qingyi away, we will definitely come back within a month!" Hua Qingyi hurriedly left the military tent after speaking.
came to the fifth formation of the single battalion and found Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan was still asleep at this time, and he was woken up by Hua Qingyi.
"Sister, Grandpa Xue, why are you here?"
"Come with me. Hua Qingyi said and pulled away without waiting for Chu Yuan's consent.
"What's so urgent?" asked Chu Yuan.
"On the way, he said that horses had been prepared outside the barracks, and he would follow me back to the imperial city. ”
"Imperial City, no, sister, you don't want me to escape, do you?" As soon as Chu Yuan heard that he was leaving, he directly shook off Hua Qingyi's hand and didn't leave.
